7 Years Blindness - S01 E03

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3

When we got home, Junior said to me, “Mummy, why are you behaving strange? You are too quiet today. You don’t talk and play with us like you used to.” “Junior, I am sorry if you feel that way. Mummy is just tired,” I said. I hugged and kissed his cheek. He smiled and said, “We love you mummy. Maybe you should go and rest.

I must confess that my boys are all handsome and active. Junior, my first son, is six, Samuel is four and Ola is two. Whenever I watch them play I feel so happy that they are my children.

Anyway, I went to the bedroom and picked our wedding album in the bedroom. I took it and started looking through it. “God, see me smiling all through the ceremony, but why can’t I remember anything?” I murmured. I saw many faces I could not even recognise but they were laughing and chatting with me in the pictures.

When Wale entered the room, he could not look at me straight in the face. I was wondering how we met and why I mar-ried him and dumped my love, Sylvester. “Why will I dump Sylvester for Wale? Something must be wrong

somewhere,” I told myself.

“Wale, what happened to me, because everybody and everything in this house look new and strange to me. Please I need answers,” I pleaded.

“Sade, I don’t understand what you are talking about. We have lived together as husband and wife for seven years and we love each other dearly,” he emphasised.

I needed quick answers, so I called my parents that I was coming over to the house. They insisted that I should come with Wale. When I told him about the visit, he agreed

to go with me. When we got to my parents’ house, my mother called everyone and pleaded that I repeat all I told her at my sister’s wedding. I did.

“What seems to be the problem Sade? This was the same young man you brought to us seven years ago despite being engaged to Sylvester.

You threatened that if you don’t marry him you will kill yourself. Today you are telling us you don’t remember him?

How possible could that be?” My father fumed. To convince me that I was excited marrying Wale, they also showed me our engagement and wedding pictures. I also watched our wedding video but all these did not make any meaning to me. They even showed me my pictures and the children in London and Dubai respectively but it just didn’t click.

“Sade, are you really serious that you cannot remember any of these?” Asked my mother. “No, mother,” I replied.
