CHAPTER 27
CHAPTER 27
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.
"Mother, I will be fine I promise,I am doing okay. I just really miss you" I said
"I will be coming later in the week remember, Ridwan has booked my flight too. So I will be seeing
you very soon" mother said
"Yeah, I really can't wait" I said.
"Bye mum" I said before ending the call. I really did miss her and I also needed someone around me. I
was starting to go crazy already. Ridwan had deleted all of my social media apps and I had only three
numbers to call on my phone too. It was frustrating but there was really nothing I could do.
"How was work" I inquired as Ridwan tried to untie his tie and get out of his work cloth.
"It was good, how are you doing" he asked
"I am good" I answered
"I see you have stopped complaining about keeping you indoors, you've finally realised all what I am
doing and how it is for your sake and that of the baby" Ridwan said as he moved closer to where I was. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"How is my baby doing" he asked with his hands on my tummy.
"Good" I replied with a smile.
"Let me take a shower quickly" Ridwan said after giving me a kiss on the forehead.
Immediately Ridwan entered into the bathroom, I stood from where I was sitting then searched all his
stuffs if I could find my other sim card at least or the extra key to the door. While I was still searching i
suddenly heard the door knob turn and when he was about to come in, I sighted my sim card and
immediately took it keeping it behind me.
"Hey, I think I should go to bed now" I said after Ridwan came in
"This early?"
"The baby needs some rest too" i said
"Alright dear, Good night" he said after helping me with the duvet on me and I gently slipped the sim
card beside me then slept off.
