The rain keeps on pouring heavily as I come down from my car, I ran inside the house surprisedly fully wet. I went inside my room grabbing a towel heading to my bathroom, I took my wet clothes off and took a hot shower. I wrap the towel on my body and entered my room wearing a robe, I left my room heading to the kitchen, I checked the time in my phone and I noticed Jide will be coming back in less than two hours.

The hospital alone is tiring and being the head nurse comes with a lot of responsibilities and challenges, I sighed and started bringing out the ingredients I needed to prepare dinner for us.

Jide and I have been married for the past five years now, I can't still get it off me the way Jide proposed. It was six months after we decided to start all over again, Jide have been so sweet for those six months that I didn't even think before shouting yes with tears of Joy

I was almost done, wrapping up cooking the dinner when I checked my time, it's thirty minutes before Jide's closing hour. I smiled feeling proud, I decided to prepare swallow with vegetable soup. I noticed he have been craving Nigerian food for awhile now

My thoughts came to an halt when my phone started ringing, I took it with a smile on my face when I saw it's my best friend Rose calling me

"Aunty!!!!" I heard Israel, Rose's son shout when I picked the call and chuckled

"Give me my phone" I heard Rose's voice and a lot of shuffling before hearing her voice again "sweetheart!"

"How are you doing?" I asked sitting on a stool

" I'm trying, this children are trying to kill me. Seems quitting the hospital is not enough"Rose have stopped being a nurse for almost two years now

" You should be glad" I replied and it all went silent. There goes again the pity I hate getting from anyone

I haven't been able to get pregnant ever since I got married to Jide, Rose have made it a must to avoid talking about kids whenever we are talking but I don't like that

"Why are you silent?" I asked

"Nothing!" Rose said with an awkward chuckle

" Give the phone to my godchildren"I said and I started hearing them squealing

After spending almost thirty minutes talking to Rose and the kids, I set the dining table expecting to see Jide anytime soon.

I went to sit in the dinning room waiting  for him. An hour later I got tired of sitting down and decided to call him, I called him more than five times without him picking up.

I left the dining room and went to the sitting room switching on the television to get my mind off things for awhile, I waited for him to call back to no avail

I didn't know when I fell asleep, I woke up and checked the time and it was after eleven in the night. I took my phone calling him again but he didn't pick. I opted for messages sending him several messages ten minutes interval

I got so angry and drop my phone heading to the dining room, he's doing it again!

I started eating my dinner trying to swallow it even though I'm not happy at all, I finished eating and laid my head on the table and sleep took me off

I woke up when I heard the sound of the door opening, I stood up and head to the sitting room checking the time, it's after one in the night. I saw Jide coming in and I breathe in and out deeply trying to control my anger

"Why didn't you pick my call or reply my messages?" I asked trying to control my voice

" I was busy, work got overwhelming" Jide said dropping his bag

"It's something you can always do at home, all you need is your laptop"I said trying so hard not to show how angry and tired I am

" I will get easily distracted at home" Jide replied, I open my mouth to talk but shut it back

" That's why you're coming home by this time, a married man! "I said unable to hold it all in any longer

" I'm tired babe, I'm not ready for this tonight" Jide said and I sighed actually thinking about how tired he looks

"Your food is in the dining" I said about walking away when his next words stopped me

" Thanks, I already took dinner" he says

"Thanks, you already took dinner?! I was here waiting for you so that we can eat and all you did is have dinner without me?! "I shouted my cautiousness flying out of the window

" Not this night again, I'm very tired" Jide said and started walking away

" You make it sound all the time as if, I am a whining wife!" I said while an angry and betraying tear escaping my eyes

" Sweetheart..." He came closer to touch me

"Don't touch me! "I shouted and went to the room we shared laying down on the bed

I laid on my stomach, hiding my face on the pillow while I cry my eyes out. Some minutes later I heard him coming inside the room, he changed his clothes and joined me in the bed. He wrapped his hands around my waist moving closer to me

"I love you, I love you so so much" he whispered on my ear and the tears kept on falling the more. The problem is it's hard for me to believe him like the way I use to and that scares me
