HER POSSESSIVE HUSBAND

I stared at the full length mirror in my bedroom as I rubbed my hand gently on my tummy. I was seven weeks gone now and each day felt like a part of my journey with my baby and I couldn't wait for my baby to be here.

   The past weeks have been really lonely for me as Ridwan still refused me to go out or even let anyone into the house. He says it's for my safety and that of the baby. It's even worse now since Ayo had gone back to her house and it was just me at home all day. Sometimes I watched the TV, other times I read a novel or a book to my baby too. Sometimes I talk to my baby like it's right there. Sometimes I feel like I am probably starting to go crazy with the fact that I am indoor all day but then there was nothing I could do. I had argued with Ridwan about him locking me in the house all through the first week and he didn't still change his mind so I figured he probably still wouldn't.

   I realized I probably really needed to talk to someone about all that was going on because it didn't really seem normal to me anymore. Ridwan was overly protective, insecure and over thinks every single thing. I wasn't okay, I was starting to lose my damn mind and it seemed like there was no one to help me.

   I went down the stairs after sometime to watch a movie. Ridwan had me brought food every afternoon and made sure I didn't have to cook myself except if I wanted to warm food. I decided to call mother after I got to the living room, I was bored and needed someone to talk to.

  "Hey mother" I said

"Hello, my dear, how are you and the baby doing. Hope you are eating for two. You know you need all the energy you can get now. Just make sure to be fine" mother said going on and on about the correct diet and exercise and how I shouldn't forget to take my drugs and all.
