HER POSSESSIVE HUSBAND

I and Karina got home after hours of going around the mall looking for the perfect dress for her because she was quit indecisive and we had also stopped by to take ice cream and pizza before heading back home. I was glad i decided to go out. I loved it and it made me feel so much better.

   I was about going into the bathroom to freshen up since we just got back when I saw my phone ring and when I checked the caller I.d I realized that it was Salma. I hadn't heard from her since the wedding. She and khalid had gone on an honeymoon outside the country and I didn't want to disturb her with my issues with Ridwan.

   "Hey dear"

"Hello, it's been a while" I said as I sat by the edge of the bed.

   "We just got back from the maldives. How have you been, you didn't tell me about leaving Abuja" Salma said in a low tone.

   "I didn't want to disturb you with my issues" I said

  "You're like a sister to me Tes and you know that, you kept everything that was happening away from me and couldn't trust me enough to tell me" Salma said rather sadly than angry.

   "I am sorry about that, I just didn't know how to"

   "He told me everything and trust me I know he is at fault and I blamed him alot because i know how much you love my brother. But you know how much Ridwan loves you too Tes. You know he does and everything he did was out of the fact that he thought he was protecting you but didn't know how over board he had gone" Salma explained.

over  a 3 year old Sarah that particular day. They couldn't get anyone to babysit or stay with them so they had no choice. Ridwan was always so overprotective of Sarah and wouldn't even let her out of his sight but that day, he had slept and didn't know when sarah went out and before he could realized. She was hit by a car and from that day on he has still not forgiven himself for everything that happened" Salma explained and I felt pity for Ridwan. He had to go through that at a very young age but
