Chapter one
We walked into the building not holding hands. We had a long and silent ride to this place, he had suggested we come here,I don’t see no reason for me to be here,this is a total waste of time am so furious and exasperated.
We were greeted with a smile by a cheeky front desk person,a phone and a computer on the desk before her. She had a red lip gloss on her lips and yellow smoky eye shadow,but I don’t like bright colors lately.
Her smile was so wide that I wonder what was so good about the day and she smiled more to Michael who was making enquiries about our appointment while she checked her computer to confirm our appointment. She don’t dare flirt with him when am beside him. My thought was cut short when she directed us to the office
”The doctor’s office is on the left side”she pointed.
Micheal opened the door while i followed behind. We got into an office space that was painted in a gray color,a book shelve behind the door and a window slid. My eye caught some words written on a frame
“ Today is going to be a good day”.
We met a blond-haired woman in her early 30s standing beside a desk checking out some files. She is 5’6 tall,she was wearing a loose top with a pair of fitted trousers and a cover shoe, her hair packed in a pony tail.
She looks attractive and sophisticated. I don’t know why Micheal chose her to be our Therapist.She turned to us
“Welcome” She smiled while she gestured for us to sit on a sofa,she sat on a one-sitter chair opposite us. A printer,plant and a lamp behind her,on a table by the window
“Hi My name is Angela,can you please introduce yourself to me“ she said and smiled briefly.
“My name is Michael Macaulay and this is my wife Bridget”, Michael said while I just looked around the room.
”How long have you guys been married “
“We have been married for over 5 years now” I said
“So what the issue. Why are you guys here”
I inhaled sharply before answering the question that was thrown at me.
“A lot is the issue. I feel like Michael has really change a lot lately and it driving me crazy. He could talk about everything to others when I had clearly told him not to for example, we bought a property and we’ve agree on not telling anyone about it but no he went ahead and tell his friend about it in the end we later hard issue with the property and couldn’t acquire it,have had 2 failed IVF wish i clearly told him not too tell anyone during d process but no he won’t listen,it either i get to know that he told his sister or his lousy brothers. I just feel like he jinxed we getting new things into our lives because he can’t keep his mouth shut call me superstitious, but that how i feel.
Secondly he would have issues with our neighbors I will be furious when he comes to tell me what they did and won’t talk to them no more but some days later I would see him talking to the same people who he has made me have issue with, where do i turn to i don’t know.
The last straw for me was when i caught him cheating on me. I sniffed and she gave me a wipe ”I caught him m**********g in the bathroom how can he do that to me,i love to see his expression when he is about to c****x but he had the experience without me,what should i do am I not good enough for him”
When i finished talking i started scanning the room to see the expression on the therapist face and my husband,Micheal face was just blank with no expression his two hands on his lap while the therapist has a pen and a book in her hands jolting. I felt like the therapist most think am being paranoid. I was so engrossed in my complaint that i had forgotten people were in the room with me.
“Are you done talking Mrs Macaulay?”
“Yes I am “
“Did you complain about any of this with him at any point”
“Yes I did” I said folding my hands underneath my bosom
“Mr Michael, what do you have to say about what your wife has complained about?”
