NEPA came back shorty after I had slept off, by that time my husband was not at home he went to work. Though his wounds have not been fully healed but he said his customers are always disturbing him. The music was on and been put in a high tune already, the noise was so much that it worked me up, with the anger I went straight to the parlour and lowered the loud music, my mother in-law storm from her bedroom straight to the parlour. Who on earth ask you to lower the volume of this music? she asked angrily. the music is disturbing me and you know am not feeling too well I replied. so you have the guts to lower the music I was listening to. if you are not feet well and you think the music is disturbing you then get out of this house she said. but I want to rest according to the doctor’s…, before I could say another word she gave me a slap on my right chick. don’t there lecture me on things about doctor’s she said. I wanted to retaliate but I held back my self and went in,side my bedroom. still, the noise was too much I have to go outside to take fresh air. I was outside when my husband arrive. you came very early today, honey what’s the problem? I asked looking at him. nothing he replied and went in,side. When he got in,side it was not up to 7 minutes he called me from in,side so I went. so you said my mother stinks right? you said she is he mother of a bastard right? he asked. I said what? I replied. you have the guts to answer me by asking questions. you insulted my mother in my absence and you want me to take it kindly with you. My mother said you called her all sort of names and instead of kneeling down to apologise you are there throwing questions on me, he said angrily. my husband all she accused me off I did not do them. I just explained something to her please believe me I replied. I don’t believe you what my mother say is final and I believe her so he said. I did not do anything to… before I could complete my sentence he unleash his anger on me like a mad dog. yes I was sick but he didn’t care he beat me till I lost conciousness. they sprinkled cold water on me that was when I regained myself. i was tired so I struggled with myself while they were there seating down looking at me watching how I was struggling with myself, my husband never helped meeting. I stood up and make a move to go to my bedroom. come back here were are you going to? Davidson asked. am going to my room to sleep am weak and my body is still paining me I replied. come here kneel before my mother and apologise to her because of what you have done to her he said looking into my eyes. to avoid trouble I went on to kneel before her and I apologised of something I did not with tears rolling down my eyes. am sorry for what I did so I said. I hate you and as I hate you so I hate your kids that will come into this world she altered in front of my husband. my husband did not say a word. but I never cared because I know am only doing this for my husband and one day he will love me for who I am and by the grace of God I will change him for the better.

later that day my mother in-law told my husband ( her son) that she wants to go back to the village that day because she wants to go and weed her farm to make it ready for planting season. she did went back to the village that very day. I was very Happy for that but my happiness was cut short when my husband’s younger brother Kingsley came to stay with us because he was running one so-called project and he will be with us for a month. he was the last born among all and he was the most pampered child. his coming I know will be another round of hell for me.
On his arrival for the first day he did not greet me nor eat my food. the second day the same, he will go outside and eat when he gets back he will snub me and off he will go to his room. I was tired so I went and confronted him. why don’t you want to eat my food nor talk with me did I do you anything? I asked. because I hate you with passion. I don’t like anything about you, I don’t know what my brother saw in you that make him to marry you. I hated you from the first day I set my eyes on you he replied and went out from my sit. some days this small boy though he is a grown man with kids but I still call him boy because I senior him in age will question my authority in my own house. when I do something to him and he wants to insult me he will sing songs, indirectly insulting me with his songs. when I report to my husband the behavior of his junior brother he will want to even beat me on top so I stop telling him anything and rather I ignored everything he (Kingsley) say or do.one day I was washing clothes he came out and thr-sted his dirty cloths for me to wash which I did just to avoid trouble. after washing the clothes I went in,side to rest when I heard a voice outside. I rushed out to see who it was low and behold it was Kingsley talking. what happened? I asked. you did not even wash my clothes very well are you mad? he said with anger written all over his face. I ignored as if I did not hear him and went in,side. were are you going to you cheep wh-re he said. the moment I heard that word (wh-re) I turned and gave him one word that left him speechless althrough out that day. my neighbors were amazed because of the answer I gave to Kingsley I did not even struggle with him or pick a fight because I know he is stupid.
All this things am doing is because I want to obey my husband’s every wish and be the perfect one he wants. Though people call me all sort of names, even one of my neighbors said to me that endurance will kill me one day, but I never mind because one day it will be better and one day my husband and his entire family will learn to accept me as there own.

the incident that make me to say enough is enough of this rubbish the incident ginger me and I was done enduring anything was, a day, I went out with my friends Gloria, Cynthia and angel. to avoid trouble and insults from my husband’s brother. Though my body was disturbing me but I managed it. when I got back I was hearing party going on in my house, when I entered I saw beer filled the table and girls were dancing half unclad on Goodluck, a married man doing nonsense with girls. the most disrespectful part was, it was in his own elder brother’s house that he is doing all this nonsense. what is going on around here? I asked. can’t you see we are having fun if you want to join come and John so said Goodluck who was already drunk and still guping from the bottle in his hands. immediately I ordered all the girls out and turned to goodluck. I slapped Goodluck in anger that his beer bottle fell on the ground and his eyes were cleared of his alcohol that has intoxicated him. you slapped me he said looking into my eyes angrily. yes and I will do it again so i said to him. he raised his hands and beat me as if I was his wife. He used his belt and flog me. but me too I wounded him with my bits and fingers. when my husband got back from his work I explained everything to him while in the dinning table but his brother cut in and told him his lies, instead of believing me he believed his brother’s lies and he never cautioned his brother rather he beat me joining with the beating of his brother. his brother was there mocking me. I couldn’t do anything for 3 days because of the heavy beating, and my head was even paining me, add up with the malaria I was having. I can’t take this anymore so I said to myself, I must do something if I stay here this sickness will kill me and my husband won’t buy drugs for me not even the ones the doctor prescribed. rather, him and his brother will keep beating me, and humiliating me. I must run away from this house so I concluded to myself. one night when everyone was asleep. I make a move to sink out of the house, I went to the parlour and softly opened the door when I heard a voice. Were are you going to? my heart started beating faster than before.
