It's been quite these days, It's like am living in a gigantic house alone, my so called husband Rarely talks to me and when he does its because he wants something. I sighed as I rub my hands together trying to dismiss my negative thoughts.
I carried my veil from my closet and walked downstairs, I wore my flat slippers and made my way to the door but was stopped
"where are you going?" That sinful voice interrupted me
"for a walk I need fresh air I feel suffocated." I grab onto the door knob tightly
"no I'm not going to allow it, if you want fresh air there's the balcony use it." I clenched my teeth so hard I felt it tick, I to stare at him for a while. My blood was boiling as I clenched my fist while my nails dug into my flesh, I turned to leave but he stopped me by saying "attention seekers, I hate them the most so quit it"..
"did you just call me an attention seeker?" I felt anger boil through my by veins
"what are you deaf or something? You can be irritating at times but look at the right side it's not just you, it's everything that moves or breaths" I couldn't believe my ears, I've been tolerating him but i think I'm done.
"ok that's it I've had enough of your Nonsense I am practically a miad in this house, you won't allow me go out. Am I prisoner ? You ignore my presence and act like I'm disturbing you or something. The one thing we discussed before marriage was me being your therapist and finding the root of all your problems but you dismiss everything I have to say about it.
"And so? what if I did do all these things you've just mentioned? What do you expect from me? To hold you in my arms and say 'oh baby after marrying you my world has changed for the better?' That's impossible so don't dream about it. professional doctors couldn't fix me and a quack with no experience doesn't Stand a chance." He talked so nonchalantly without any expression, I felt tears roll down my cheek and I was quivering, I ran upstairs to my room and sat in the conner crying, guess this is how my life is going to be.
I haven't left my room all day not to talk of eating lunch and dinner. It was 8pm and I didn't even feel the hunger anymore, I just wanted to run away from all this. But a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.
"you haven't eaten all day, come out and get something in your stomach" my husband knocked on my door sloppy, I sat there without uttering a word ignoring how hard he knocked on the door.
"I'm am sorry I know it's my fault ok? I've just been stressed out lately because I've had problems with work and I am forced to stay at home because of this so called honeymoon phase so I felt frustrated and I took it out on you.
"I am having a hard time as well so why are you making it worse?" I sob trying to kelp my emotions In check
“i know and I’m sorry, to prove to you i truly sorry am I’m gonna start taking your medical sections or whatever.” He mumbled, A smile spread across my face and I quickly rushed to the door and opened it.
“are you serious? Don’t joke with me like that” He rolled his eyes with a nod “dead serious.”
“fine I forgive you! It’s all in the past”
“so when do we start?” His non enthusiastic voice ticking me off
“today after dinner.” I lean against the door, He groaned before replying with...
“isn't it too late today? why don't we start tomorrow I’m kind of tired.” His face did look sunken “fine tomorrow it is!” I wave him off going back into my room.

I woke up early and finished my chores, I sat in the living room eagerly waiting for him. After 20 minutes he came downstairs fully dressed with a white T-shirt and black shorts. He ate before joining me in the living room.
“you ready?” He nod “I was born ready.”
“so i have two methods of therapy, Conscious or hypnosis. Those two I actually happen to be an experts an especially hypnosis. Which one do you prefer?”
“hypnosis it'll be easier I think, to be honest I’ve never tried that during therapy didn’t trust the doctors enough. But seeing as you’re my wife I’m willing to try it thus once” he stared at me with a small smile
“OK hypnosis it is, so just lay back and try to relax. Try not to think about anything and just empty your head” I watch him lay back taking a deep break “so how does this work? Do think it’ll actually work?”
“It usually does, I’ve seen it happen multiple times. I need you to calm down first, Clear your head.” I hear him take a deep breath in and out. I removed the necklace I was wearing, it had a silver chain with a crystal heart as the pendant.
“keep your eyes on this dangling chain and don't take your eyes of it , I want you to to follow every single movement. The way it sways, the light reflecting on it and that ringing sound that you’re hearing right about now” I kept moving it from right to left and his eyes followed it all the way until he was lost in trying to catch the pace, I snapped my fingers and said.
“you'll feel like you’re sleeping but you’re actually in deep cautiousness so you'll answer my questions with only the truth and calmly.” I could see that it was working and I couldn't be more proud of myself. If professor Phillip, my mentor could see this he would be so proud.
“so let’s start easy questions, what’s your name ?” His eyebrow furrowed “Abdulrazaq” he answered slurry
“How many siblings do you have?” His eyelashes flicker almost like he was struggling to remember “5” he mumbled, I frown surprised by his answer. He had four siblings, we might have a slight case of amnesia or what? I need to study up.
“try and tell me your must vivid memory of what happened, in the past take your time and recollect it” I place the necklace on the still beside us
“I was in the living room playing, But I wasn't alone, I was with someone else.” He twitched “who were you with?” I round myself asking multiple times
“my sister.” His breathing harsh as sweat slides down his temple
“your junior or elder sister?”
“no my twin sister......?” His Joey starts shaking as his hands clutch against his shirt
“WHAT??? What are you talking about ?YOU HAVE A TWIN SISTER??” I felt my heart flip in more ways than one.
