A new life

I opened the door and saw Ryan on the couch speaking to someone. As soon as he saw me he disconnected the phone. I ignored him and went into the room and saw Rose getting ready. I asked her " Where are you going ?'". She said " Momma Sofie aunty is taking me out on a ride". I knew why she was taking her, I smiled and replied " Ok darling, you enjoy your outing". They both left I saw Ryan still on the couch speaking to someone on phone. I asked him " Who are you speaking to". He kept the phone and looked at me " You never asked me before, I have friends too ". I was tired of this game so I shouted at him " I heard everything yesterday night so don't play games with me I know what are you up to behind my back, I just want to know were you doing the same when you were back home. Here I believed that you will never cheat me whatever you did to me I didn't react only thinking you were not cheating behind me but you were cheating" . He started being angry " Oh look at you, who will look at you now, and you left me back home and you might have also enjoyed your days here don't show me that innocent look" . I was so angry I just slapped him, I shouted "How dare you point your finger at my character. You have never been a good husband or a father but I didn't say anything, I don't want you in my life any more, now leave my house I want you out of my life get out ". He was moving fast towards me " You witch, how dare you", he caught my hair and started kicking me with his leg. I heard Sofia coming in and pushing him aside. He shouted at me " You whore, look at you, you look so ugly, fat". Sofia looked at him and slapped him and took a bat which she always kept for safety and threw him out of the house. She shouted at him " Never even come here again I will call the police, get lost you, bastard". And she saw Simon's car stopping at her door, Ryan was trying to come forward attack me but Simon caught him and kicked him off he ran away threatening me to kill.

I broke down, he had hit me on my face and I had scratches on my hand. I sat down on the sofa. Simon came towards me and saw the scratches and blood from my mouth. He swore and asked Sofia " Do you have a first and box?". Sofia bought the box, he took it and he kept medicine on my wounds. It hurt everywhere. I had never seen Ryan so violent. Then I saw Sofia , I asked her "Where is Rose?"' Sofia replied " Don't worry she is at my aunt's place I was worried about you so I came home to check". I closed my eyes and tears didn't stop. Simon said " I came back to give you your purse which you left behind in my car and I saw him trying to attack you.& I didn't think about your purse, it's still in my car wait I will bring ". He opened the door and went out. Sofia sat next to me and took my hand " You were very brave, you should not have entertained him all these years. I will go and bring Rose we will tell her that you had a fall and she can sleep with me". I nodded. Simon returned with my purse and Sofia got up "Simon, Can you just be with her till I return I am going to pick Rose" Simon replied " Yes you don't worry I will be here". I was about to say that I don't need anyone but instead, I kept quiet as I remembered Ryan's nasty face.

I closed my eyes. I didn't remember what happened next I was carried by someone to my room. Someone was sitting beside me but I was half-conscious. When I woke it was morning and my whole body ached. I saw Simon asleep on the chair next to me. I tried getting up but I was feeling clumsy. I saw Simon getting up from his chair " You don't get up, do you need something". I tried to reply but again I fell asleep.
