EPISODE 15 “please don’t leave me. I need your love to survive. I need your presence in my life” i poured out while she stared at me with eyes filled with tears. “when someone you love misbehaves, no you don’t push him into the fire to burn because the fire not only burns him but burns your soul as well. I’m dying out of grief. Don’t let me die sweetheart” i begged, pushing her to the greatest depth of sympathy with my pleas. Of course she loves me, but the love and anger in her were battling for supremacy. The house she was about leaving was equally hers as well. She drew back and sat on the bed, covering her eyes with her palms. “i beg of you sweetheart, just do anything to me but don’t walk away from my life. I badly need your shoulder to lean on” i begged passionately. “If only she will change her mind, perhaps my future will take a new better shape” i reasoned. We all know a divided house never stands for long and i had a lot to benefit if she decides staying by my side. “i love you. You very well know i love you. But i can’t stay in a house where my husband is having a child with another woman. It’s not as if i have a child of my own to manage. I can never be happy with that reality and i’m no fool my love, i can’t ruin my life by chasing shadows. It’s already obvious to me that i can’t have a child, so the best thing is to leave and find a way to be happy. I can’t block you from having children through another woman. Yes i’m angry with you but i’m not leaving your house out of anger but just as the right thing to do” she poured out with tears dropping from her eyes. “but it’s you i want. I don’t need children to be happy. Our marriage is still too young for this” i pleaded solemnly. She cleaned her eyes, stood up and breathed deeply. “i don’t think we will be seeing again. I’ll try my best to avoid your path. You can get back the money you spent on my head through my father” she said softly. “nooo” i breathed, grabbed and kissed her with quivering lips. She didn’t protest nor break away from me, instead stared into my eyes as if she saw something in them. “i wish you well my love, but i’m leaving” she said softly. “that’s cool, i leave with you. I go wherever you go” i said seriously, cleaning my eyes. She drew back and stared at me with surprise. “you can’t be serious?” she asked. “try me” i answered with all seriousness. “nothing is tearing us apart, nothing in this earth” i concluded, leaving her gasping with shock. She breathed deeply, sat on the bed once again and looked at me with disbelief. Of course the last thing she wanted was creating a scene with me outside our apartment and she definitely knew i was very serious about leaving the house with her even though to be candid i never knew how such idea got into my head. “God i can’t believe this. what has come over you my dear?” she asked slowly. I knelt by her side and held her softly, breathing deeply. “please don’t leave me here all alone, unless you want me to go with you where ever you go” i repeated once again. She shook her head and looked into my eyes. “see it isn’t as if i’m happy leaving you and everything behind to start a new life. I just have no choice” she said softly. “no dearest, it’s still between us to fix. We can change everything together. We can reshape our destiny” i pushed on, more tears dropping from my eyes. “you just have to let me go. My heart is still very broken and my spirit is also very weak. I promise to be back whenever i recover. Just let me go for now. I just can’t stay here with you at the moment” she begged seriously. “nooo” i sobbed. “yes you have to my dear unless you want to find me dead in your bathroom” she insisted. “so how long do you intend staying away from me?” i asked sorrowfully. “I don’t know, but i’ll be watching from a distance. How you tackle this situation will determine a whole lot of things” she answered with tears. “okay. It’s fine by me” i muttered with resignation. She smiled, pecked me and finally left without another protest from me, leaving me all alone to carry my load of problems. I surely had a lot to do, which comprised getting my emotions under control, opening up to my parents and making plans on how to see Comfort’s family the coming Sunday. I couldn’t help but think of the Priest’s words over and over as i planned on how to see my parents. Of course his words were a bit confusing to me by saying that Comfort and the baby weren’t in my future but still turning around to say that i should care for them because that alone will set things right. “how on earth will i care for her and the baby yet they won’t show up in my future?” i wondered over and over. The very next day, I headed home to see my parents who couldn’t believe their ears when i calmly told them what brought me home. My mum was overly shocked and angry, while dad simply frowned with disgust. “i can’t believe you are asking me to be part of this nonsense development. If not that you are my son, i would have walked you out of here, but no matter my disappointment over your action. I still have no choice than to do whatever necessary to help you out. You are my blood and your life is very much important to me than mine and for that reason i will go with you on Sunday to see the girl’s parents” he accepted just like i expected but unfortunately things didn’t go as i hoped on Sunday evening when we arrived Comfort’s house. Her family insisted on a full fledged traditional marriage between me and their daughter before any form of compromise could be reached, putting me in another dilemma. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 16
