Last Updated on November 12, 2017 by Memorila
Today’s Divorce Diary of Hafiza and IB shows that one shouldn’t allow his or her problems to fester; else he/she might end up wanting to kill a loved one!
…I dashed to the bedroom upstairs and I found my husband and my own sister half naked and all over each other. I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was dreaming. I literally rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. They must have been really enjoying themselves, because I reckoned I must have stood there for almost two full minutes before Hafsat pushed him off her and ran into the bathroom.
I wish I could tell you that I remember what he said or what he did. All I know is that I had blood on my hands and that I was screaming. I punched and slapped him till he was on his knees. The kids had woken up because of my screaming. They walked in to see their father clutching bed sheet. Begging me! I don’t know how I got the strength to break down the bathroom door and yank my sister. I beat her. I beat her. I really beat her silly. I looked into her eyes and I did not see my sister. I saw the devil. And at that moment my sole mission in life was to beat that devil out of my sister. “Wallahi it’s the devil adda. Useni ki yi haquri. Please forgive me. Today was the first time I swear!” retorted my sister.
After that night, I sent her a text message telling her to leave. I didn’t care where she was going. I was a little surprised at myself at how cold I became towards my only sister.
As for IB, he would write me 3 divorces and leave the house for me and my children. There would be no room for negotiation. Either that or I threatened to go to court. I also threatened to tell the children. My threats worked. We got divorced and it’s been a year. He sends for the kids and sometimes visits. I still have fantasies of killing him. As for my sister, I have no words. There’s a numb dull ache in my heart every time I think about her and the incident. Maybe they still continued their affair sef. How can someone who is your flesh and blood hurt you so bad? This world is a horrible place

So, what have I learnt? Don’t tolerate people too much, because what you refuse to address and tolerate will eventually become intolerable. I have learnt to stop sweeping things under the carpet because I could trip and fall over.
Thank you for reading my Divorce Diary! Hope you learnt one or two things in it….
