??????? ????
Kuda : lm still talking to you woman !
he says , this time he grabs me by my hand bag .I turn facing him at this point lm glad the kids are still at school .
Me : lm not in the mood for a fight kuda (sighs ) l was at work okay now can you please leave me alone .
Kuda : lies ! if you were at work then why are you home early ? Oh l see now ....You where out hoering on me huh ?
I gasp in shock , yho he must never !.
Me : You are delusional and very stupid Kudakwashe Moyo are you not tired of fighting with me every day . Am l not your wife huh ? Don't think when you out putting you **** in and out of different pussies l also do the same .
l see shock written on his face .
Me : l know everything that you think l don't know , just because lm quite it doesn't mean lm clueless .
l feel my cheeks burning , he just slapped me . I'm tired of this shit and l won't give him what he wants , l won't give him my tears .
I tap my left cheek .
Me : Hit me again here , l didnt quite feel it .
l saw looking straight into his eyes , his breathing heavily . He walks away instead .
Me : BLOODY DOG !
l throw my handbag behind him , but he continues to walk out of the door . Now his going to confide to his side chicks , l just know.
I drop to the floor with my arms wrapped around my kneed . I scream my lungs out " **** love ! Why does it have to hurt like this ?! "
my tears are threatening to fall but l just won't let them fall. " Okay Martina get your act together " l take a deep breath before pulling myself up .
l was my face before heading to the kitchen . l open the fridge only to find a loaf of bread and milk . All he knows is to abuse but when is comes to taking care of his family he fails dismally . There's no food in this house , l always have to borrow money just so we don't sleep on empty stomachs .I don't even earn much all money is used to pay for my kids school fees as lf l made myself pregnant .
I boil the milk , the clock hits 13:30 pm my kids are going to arrive soon from now .l take a bite of the dry bread , yeah neh when poverty strikes on this house you would swear none of us work .
The door opens and my kids come running towards me .
Tiana : Mommy !
Joshua: Mama ! mama !
Me : Hey babies .
l Open my arms taking them into an embrace .
Tiana: how are you mommy .
Me : lm good and how are you my baby .
Tiana : lm good , but lm just hungry . Remember l didn't carry any food today .
I close my eyes , feeling a sharp pain in my heart . It breaks my heart to see my children like this .
Me : I'm sorry baby , please take Joshua and remove your uniforms leave them in the washing basket then come eat .
Joshua: food (giggles)
Me : yes my boy food .(smiles)
I watch Tiana and Joshua disappear into the toilet . I go straight to the shelve l use to keep some little grocery , kuda doesn't even know about that . l grab a packet of spaghetti , l start preparing it as l wait for the kids to come back .
lm sure they were taking a bath because they took long.l place the food on the table . Joshua was about to eat when Tiana stopped him.
Tiana: Let's pray first okay .
Joshua nods smiling .They both close their eyes and l do the same.
Tiana: God l want to thank the hands that prepared this food , it may not seem enough but it's enough to us aslong we won't go to bed hungry . God please bless my mother so she can be able to continue taking care of us and lastly l pray for my father , l wish to spend more time with him and l wish he could stop making my mother cry . Amen .
Joshua: AMEN !
Me: (lowly ) Amen
A tear escapes from my eye , my kids have seen enough. I hope the lord answers our prayers .l just want to be happy with my family too and be seen as a woman by my own husband , l just miss the days we were just young and so loving .But hey gone are those days .
