The Young Wife - S01 E01

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

Being the only son in the family, I was treasured by my parents and was given everything which I needed. My 2 sisters used to complain a lot about that fact but as far as I was concerned, they had all they wanted.

It was fan being the only son and I used to spend money without been scolded for it. We were a happy family and had each others back always. Dad always encouraged us to be each other’s keeper.

When I was in grade 10, mum fell ill. She spent 2 weeks in hospital and we were told that she had malaria. I didn’t believe it but dad kept on telling me that she only had malaria.

After 2 weeks she was discharged from the hospital and came back home but there was no improvement. One day she called me and my sisters Mirriam, and Recious to her room.

“My children,u know that I love u ryt”, she started.

“Yes mum”, we all answered

“I love u all very much and I know u love me too. I want u to continue loving & supporting each other like u have always bn doing”, she said as she pulled Miriam the youngest closer to her.

“But mum y are u saying all this? Wat is wrong”, Recious asked emotionally

“Nothing is wrong dear,it’s just that we might not always be with u. And Recious u are the eldest so please stop bn too emotional over everything, learn to control yo feelings”, she continued talking. ” Make sure Ken is more responsible “,she added

“U know how this yo son is,he is stubborn and won’t listen to me”, Recious replied. ” u just hv to discipline him yourself “,she added

“He has to listen to u”.

“Yes mum I will listen to her”, I responded with a smile.

Mum talked for some time then she said she needed to rest before dad came back. We went out and left her to rest.

Recious was upset and had tears in her eyes .” y is mum not getting better? This can’t be malaria, dad is lying to us all”,she said as she rushed to her room and locked the door.

I couldn’t cry in front of Miriam but I was hurting inside.
