“Is this what life is all about? How long will I continue like this?”, Clara stumbled on the sofa asking herself as tears drop down her red, swollen and teary eyes. Clara just drove into her compound feeling tired and exhausted from the day’s work. Every woman’s dream is to be welcomed with a deep hug and a kiss from her Hubby or a warm embrace and welcome screams from her lovely children. But in Clara’s case, it was a different ball game entirely.
She walked into her living room only to be welcomed with a great stench of smoke. She wondered what was happening only for her olfactory lobe to be encounter an ooze of alcohol mixed with smell of cigarette and Weed. You could imagine the terrified gaze on her face sighting the earlier well-arranged and serene room littered with bottles, spilled drinks, Cigarette and Weed ashes, wraps of hard drugs and to the greatest of all, her unconscious husband lying helplessly on the floor tiles struggling with a bottle of beer in the pool of his own vomits.
Who is Clara?
Clara is a first class graduate of Law from a prestigious University in Nigeria. She was also the overall best student in Law school where she got several scholarships to study abroad for her Masters and Doctoral postgraduate programs. She was the first and only child of her very wealthy parents. She had always lived and enjoyed the brighter side of life without stress until the most miserable day of her life when she walked down the aisle and got married to Richard.
Right from this fateful day she has been constantly faced with emotional and psychological trauma from the reckless and irresponsible life exhibited by Richard her husband. Richard was a Drunk, Drug addict and Cheat who dropped out of his Banking job when he could no longer concentrate and deliver his terms.
He only sits at home all day drinking, watching movies, invites friends and ladies to his house playing games and partying with friends and Ladies before his wife's arrival.
Filing for Divorce wasn't an option for Clara, she is a devoted Christian. She just had to carry her cross alone till hopefully things turn out better. "But why did I give my precious crown to this miserable man? Why did I make such a being my crown? she regrettably sobbed with mucus running down her nose after exhausting the last tear in her eyes.
To be continued, stay tuned for second part.
