HER POSSESSIVE HUSBAND

It's been about a week since I had been in the hospital and I was getting discharged today. Ridwan still didn't stop calling then I had to switch off my phones and he called mother or Hawa instead to check on me and ask about how I was doing. Sometimes he even came to the hospital when I was asleep to check on me and ask them not to wake me because he knew I didn't want to see him. I was still furious at me probably not as much as I was the first day but then I had made up my mind about moving back to lagos once I packed my stuffs from the house. I and mother would sleep at an hotel before our flight which i had asked Hawa to book for the next day.

"You should take care of your self and do not forget to use all the medications that was given to you too" The doctor advised before letting me go. He stood by my hospital bed as I sat up straight listening to all he had to say.

"I will doctor, I feel so much better actually" I said with a smile.

"I am glad to see that smile" The doctor said

"Please take care of her" The doctor said as he glanced at mother.

"Yes I will" mother nodded abruptly then the doctor left and it was time to leave and apparently when we had wanted to settle the bill told me that Ridwan had insisted he was going to since it was his responsibility to me as his wife.

"Hawa, please have you booked our flights for tomorrow" I asked as I turned to face her.

"Yes I have" she confirmed.

"Thanks"

"Are you sure you want to do this, are you sure it's the right thing to do" mother asked concerned. I knew she was vividly concerned.her first daughter wanting to just pack out of her husbands house after just getting married Whatfor about a year. What would the world say? What would people say? I could see it in her eyes.

"Mother, I really don't know what is right about this whole thing and what is not. I just have a gut feeling that this is what I need to do and what I have to do" I explained.

"So, are you leaving him. Getting a divorce?" Mother asked concerned.

"Mother I don't know yet, it could get there but right now I know I need my space. We probably both need that space" I said

"If you say so" mother said then I strectched my hands on hers gently.

"I will be fine mother, you don't need to worry about be as much as you used to. I am a grown woman now and I can make some decisions by myself. All I need from you is your support in all this. I can't do this alone, I still clearly love Ridwan and I know this step I am taking is going to be really hard for me and I need you. I need all of you to be there for me" I explained.

"I will always be here for you and you know that" mother said then smiled.
