7 Years Blindness - S01 E05

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

Concluding part

I went home recently to pack some of my belongings but

when I got there and saw my boys, all I could do was to

weep. Junior walked up to me and said, “Mummy, daddy

said you are now living in our grandparents’ house. But,

why? Why did you leave us? Did daddy do any-thing wrong

to you? We have missed you, please come back home to

us.” “Junior, my dear you will not understand even if I

explain to you until tomorrow. But all I can tell you is that,

mummy needs some time alone. Whatever happens, I

want you to know mummy loves you and your brothers,” I

said, weeping. “But, can we visit you at grandma’s house,”

he asked. “Yes, my dear. Tell daddy to bring you anytime

you feel like seeing me,” I said. I hugged and told them to

be good boys. Wale stood at a corner feeling guilty but I

knew I was not ready to see him as he repulsed me.

I will not deny it that I love my children and would not want

to stay apart from them but how do I continue to live with

such a man as Wale who charmed me into loving and

marrying him? How will they understand what their father

did to me at this their tender age? I don’t even love him.

But do I continue to stay in the marriage because I have

children with him? I need time so that I can make the right

decision. But, will my own right decision be the best for

my children? What do I do?
