She couldn't look at his face, not ready to face the horror that stood above her. She was in pains, both in body and in soul. Her guts tell her to stand up and flee for her life but she lies on the floor frozen and could move a bone.

And a question kept on going on and on through her mind and it was "Why"? Why me??

Her mind kept flashing through those days in the university, where she was once a slay queen yet she devoted herself to her one true love, Tunde, the most romantic guy on earth. He was charming, handsome and a gentleman. He was that guy that every lady wanted to be with and she had him all to herself.
They were both appointed prom king and queen and he held her and they both walked across the red carpet with elegance.
He was always there for her no matter what, through thick and thin and he promised he will always be with her till eternity.
If she was hungry, he was always there to spoon feed her, If she was sad, he was ready to stick his pride aside and be a clown for her.
He is always calling frequently and if he doesn't hear from her, he freaks out and goes all crazy.
He kept showering her with gifts and makes sure she never lacks a thing.

"Jumoke!!!!! Jumoke!!! Jumoke!! Are u mad??

She hears his voice faintly as she relapses down memory lane.

She remembered the day her dad chased Tunde with a cutlass, yet he was so persistent like a cockrach determined more than ever to have her as his wife. He kept on coming back over and over and no matter the insults he received, he kept showering them with gifts.
It was with God's intervention that her dad finally allowed the union to take place and she was the happiest woman on earth. She had everything he ever wanted, it was like a wish come true.
A handsome, loving and rich husband, what else will she ask for?

Here she was, she could barely recognize the man she married, the man who promised her the world. The same man who couldn't hurt a fly has become the monster itself. The same man who had eyes only for her those days and is now covered with lipstick stains on his shirt. The same man who loved to hear her bicker about random things, turned a deaf ear to her and slapped her and pushed her to the floor. The same man who always make sure she got all what she needed, had left her with no money and food at all.

She felt the whole world crash upon her as he threw his arm against her face. She saw herself being flunged to the floor and she shouted Tunde why? Why? She could feel the stench of booze from him as he stood over her boiling in anger.

He screamed " Is that ur business? Jumoke!! Are u mad? Who gave u the audacity to question where and where I've been"

It was at that moment she knew that she had lost him and she stood at a brink wondering what she could have done to save him.
All she could do now is to cry and wallow in her thoughts.
