Beginning of my End: A New Dawn
#TheWritingProject
Looking all over the corridor, anxiously waiting for Eric to come home, it was a long exhausting day and Eric’s been gone to work since early morning while I took upon the duties of the house-chores as it was a Saturday, the house cleaning day washing and cleaning every nook and corner of the house, excitedly waiting for the kids to come back from their holiday classes. I heard a ring from the door alarm and checked the door knob to see who it was lo and behold it was my friends, I was so disappointed at first as i thought Eric was back, shocked and surprised at the same time with mixed feelings in my head I welcomed them in warmly, it has been eight years we graduated from the university and seven years we last saw each other ,I have missed you so much Vanema, rose said, hold on guys how did you guys find me, oh dear Vanema did you think we wouldn’t meet again, last Friday I came to Canada for some business and I saw your sister Laura we went to a nearby restaurant and chit-chatted for about an hour then I sked her about you and were you were living, fortunately she gave me your address and I got in contact with our friends through the whatsapp group we created before we graduated the university, because you left the group and changed your contacts, we have all been looking for you all these years and I am so happy we have finally found you. So what are you doing now Vanema, Felix asked, I am an house-wife I guess “I replied back to Rose’’. “you an housewife Vanema” Felix questioned “yeah I am”, I replied back, “what an unbelievable world we are in”, Flora said, yeah it is unbelievable who would have thought a lady like you with great aspirations would keep your fire down for a man, “yeah me too” Felix said , I replied back “yes love is great, to love someone is wonderful and I do not regret having Eric, he has been a great man so far, since the time we got married to the time we become parents up till now, it has been a great journey so far. Let us toast to the life we are living now “Rose said”, then I got some glasses from the living room bar with a wine and we raised up our glasses in the air with smiles on our faces, then chatted for a few hours about our university days ,before I knew it m friends started chatting about their individual lives, Rose had become a well -established lawyer of a well- known reputation and Felix the CEO of an Empire, owns so many hotels and clubs and agencies and estates and Flora had become a real estate housing agent, getting to know about how they have been I was so happy to find them all fulfilling their dreams already but as I had begun to ponder on it, I realized I had left all my dreams un-fufiled, suddenly a hand hit my laps and I suddenly got out of my thoughts the clock hit pm and all my friends had stared to depart one by one to their various homes, finally the last of my friends Rose left by 5:45pm, 15 minutes to when Eric would arrive from work, he would be frustrated and threw tantrums around but being with Eric for so many years I had probably gotten used to it as whenever he arrived home, I would let him be for twenty to thirty minutes before I asked him about his activities in his office and serve him dinner, Eric had an habit of making people follow his orders and do the things he way he prefers and I had suddenly gotten tired of his bad habits, but whenever I would want to talk about it, he would just yell and shut the door making me look like a fool. This being going on for a year he joined his new workplace and I non-ending. The next few days went as usual but I noticed something strange, he would always come back home drunk and felt irritated by my touch, fortunately my kids had gone to my sister’s house for the holiday break, so the situation was under control. I was asleep on the couch in the living room waiting for Eric to come home, it was about 15minutes to 11pm and I heard a loud bang on the door I looked at the door opener to see it was Eric and I opened the door, immediately Eric pushed me to the couch touching and kissing my body all over I felt so shocked and angry and pushed him away and stood up from the couch but as I stood up from the couch , Eric held my hand firmly and pushed me once again on the sofa and began to harass me sexually, as the situation began to spiral out of control, Eric had become a demon I pushed him once again and he hit his head on the sofa edge and I began to run for the stairs, but before I could reach the third step, Eric dragged my leg down the stairs and I fell down hitting my head, feeling weak all around me, Eric carried me to the couch feeling dizzy and weak , I watched as Eric took off his cloth, rubbing his lips, separating my legs and an evil smile on his face, satisfied himself with my body, continuing till he was satisfied ignoring my plea and pain, weak and drained, Eric got off my body kissing my legs, as he got of my body I felt blood coming out of my parts, feeling irritated and weak I got up slowly walking to the bathroom to wash myself, as I washed myself in the shower the images of last night started to flash in my head and I ended spending the whole morning crying sitting under the shower, an alarm which ran on my phone brought me back from the shock, immediately remembering the kids were coming today to pack their things for stay at their aunt house for the holiday, at the clock of 4pm, they were home after clearing the mess of the previous night, with a smile I managed to lit my face I waved my kids and sister a cheerful goodbye, the evening came and the sun had set, I heard a knock on the door twice and went to check who it was and luckily it was Felix, I was surprised to see him, I opened the door and welcomed him with a glass of water then a drink, are you alone at the moment, Felix asked, “ yeah I am”, I replied, it has been a long time since we sat down one on one together alone with no interruptions, yes it is true, Felix replied. You do not know that you have changed so much right, when we were back in university...
