CHAPTER 38
I love you too Ridwan, I really do, I never stopped loving you. That day in Uni when I met you, I knew
you were going to be my husband and when you proposed I was overly excited to spend forever with
you. You're my best friend and lover and I need that back. I need the man I fell I love back because
obviously this isn't him here" I said
"I can be that man back Tes. Just please give me the chance to prove my self worth of your love
again" he said
"I think first you need to forgive yourself about what happened in the past. You need to move past it
and not blame your self for a mistake that wasn't your fault. I need my man back again" i said
"I started seeing a therapist Tes and we can also go for that marriage counselling you talked about
once before. I am more than ready now.i will do anything to have you back. I miss you alot" he said
"Here are their numbers" he said as he placed both business cards on the table.
"I told my therapist she could talk to you about anything we discuss and talk about and we can go to
the marriage counsellor anytime you're ready. No rush at all. Just please give me a chance to show you
we can fight through this together" he pleaded.
"I don't know Ridwan but I want to trust you" I said
"We can do this together and I am sure of it. Trust me. Anytime at all you're ready, we can start the
counselling. Take your time" he said
I thought about Ridwan all the way home. He deserved a second chance and that I knew. I decided
to still stay back in lagos and I decides it was better if we still gave each other space to figure out
somethings on our own. Ridwan told me how he would always be ready anytime I choose to come
back and I should take all the time that I needed.
"How was your talk with Ridwan" mother asked as she sat at the edge of my bed Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"He seemed like he really was going to change. I think he probably deserves another chance" I said
"He loves you Teslimah. People do so many crazy things for love but Ridwan realized his mistakes
and most importantly he his ever willing to work on it and be better for the both of you" mother
explained.
"He started seeing a therapist too" I informed.
"Now that's someone willing to make amends. Give him time and he will be the man you fell in love
again." Mother said
"But I still told him we probably still needed our spaces" I said
"Take as much tim as you want my dear but what's important is that you both are willing to make this
union better and i know by the time you two decide to come back together again. It will be better than
you ever imagined" mother said
"I hope so" I said
"I know so" mother said
"Thanks for everything mum" I said as I hugged her.
"You're welcome darling"
