7 Years Blindness - S01 E01

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

I woke up two months ago and saw a man sleeping beside

me. “Where am I and who could this man be?” I wondered. I looked at him straight in the face for about 30 seconds, I

could not place him. So, I gently got up from the bed and

looked out through the window. Still the environment looked unfamiliar.

Quietly, I tried to make my way to other parts of the

house. When I got to the sitting room, the place was well

arranged and beautifully decorated. But what surprised me

were the pictures hanging on the wall around the big television set. There was a large framed wedding picture of me and a man, I presume to be the fellow on the bed.

“Who is this man?

Is he my husband? But how come I don’t remember?” I asked myself. In the picture we were both smiling and looked so happy together.

In another picture, we were with three lovely children – all

boys. We looked good and happy as a family. As I stood there admiring the pictures, I heard footsteps, it was the same man in the pictures. He walked up to me and said, “Sweetheart good morning. I knew you were going to be up very early today since it’s your sister’s wedding. Don’t worry about the boys; we will take care of ourselves. You better go and start getting dressed. We will meet you at the church.”

“Who are you? You say my sister is wedding today? Which of my sisters are you talking about?” I asked. “Is this a joke or what? Franca of course,” he stressed. “Darling, are you alright?” he asked. Quickly, I said yes. “You have been working too hard as of late.

Anyway, I thank God Franca’s wedding is finally here so

that you can rest. You are so stressed up,” he emphasised.

He held my hands and took me to the bedroom. I knew

something was not right but I had to play along to find out

the truth. I took my bath and dressed since it was obvious

I had arranged my clothes and accessories on the sofa the

previous night but I could not just remember anything. The wedding card was also beside my clutch purse so, somehow, things were made a bit easy for me.
