The Young Wife - S01 E02

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

I could see that even Miriam was about to cry so I pulled her close then hugged her. “Don’t worry dear, everything will be fine. Mum will be alright soon”, I told her as I tried to convince myself the same.

It was long week and we were all there watching mum slowly loosing weight and getting more sick each passing minute. I was helpless and heartbroken cause I didn’t think a day like this was going to come soon.

On the unfortunate Saturday when dad was out,mum started vomiting blood clots. We were all scared and didn’t know wat to do so Recious quickly called dad and told him but before he could even reach home,mum stopped breathing???.

Recious was the first to realise that mum had stopped breathing but she couldn’t tell the 2 of us.

“Please take Miriam outside and stay with her as I clean the vomits?”, she said while trying to hide her sad face with teary eyes

“Ok let me go and buy her something at the road side”, I responded

” do that please “.

My heart was bothered and I was certain that something was wrong. Dad got home before I retained with Miriam and as I retained home, I saw an ambulance and some police men coming out of the house with mum’s body fully covered.

I felt powerless and confused, nothing seemed real at that point. Recious was in tears,she was bitterly crying???.

Life changed after mum’s departure from us. I realized that life was not a fantasy even though dad continued spoiling us but from time to time we all needed a mother’s love but mum was not with us so we had to learn to survive without her.
