Triiiingggg! My alarm went off I must have dozed off when I was waiting for them to stop fighting each other, I always tell mama to divorce him and leave but she says she loves him and she sometimes pushes him to the edge. That’s why he beats her up so badly anyways I must get ready for school, I’ll see her when I’m done.

I feel so bad for beating her like that because I love her so much, I’m in the kitchen trying to make her favourite breakfast brown bread spread with avocado and a cup of sweet and milky tea just the way she likes it. I place the tray slowly on the dressing table making sure not to wake her, I look at her broken lip and bruised eye and I feel so bad for hurting her like this. “Wakey wakey sleepy head” I say shaking her, “Hi you didn’t have to” she says pointing at the tray of breakfast. “I’m sorry my love I know I haven’t been the best husband but I’ll try harder this time” I said kissing her forehead and standing up to leave.

I finish up dressing and go check on mom since she didn’t come out of her room, “Morning” I say plunging myself on her bed. “Morning to you too” She says sipping her tea, “So this is how it is going to be? Him battering you up and apologizing with a lousy breakfast? ” I ask her annoyed. “You’re going to be late for school and I don’t want to talk about this” She says changing her clothes to drop me off.

I’ve been wondering about Kefi because lately she has changed a lot she seems distant a lot, we used to be close and had a tradition to go on an ice cream date twice a month but it’s been a year since we’ve done it. She always comes up with excuses when I try organising something, I don’t know what’s happening but something is bothering her.

“Hello? Yes you’re speaking to Mr Mmusi and I would like to make reservations at your restaurant for 19:30 today? Yes thank you” I can’t wait to see her smile it’s been a while since we got out together on a date maybe it will bring back the spark. Let me text and tell her to get ready earlier. “Go and buy something lovely, I’m taking you out on a date tonight be ready on 19h30. Love you bits K”

Tell us: Do you think their relationship will ever survive?
