  "There is often a feeling of being trapped with someone you love but keeps hurting you. Is it worth your pain?"♣️ Sumaya ♣️There's a piercing silence as we drive in the streets of Nairobi, back to our house in Kahawa West. I lean my head on the window and look out at the busy vendors trying to make a living. I feel a sense of loneliness wash over me, as if my life is suddenly empty."Don't listen to that guy, he doesn't even know me." He looks at me then back to the road.Isn't it strange that even strangers declare the same thing people close to me have once said?

I shout back.We spend more time with each other these days. Farouq has become a totally different person from the guy I met years ago and from the man I married months back to a sweet and caring husband. Though I can't help but hope it lasts."Do you want anything else?" He asks as he hands me a glass of juice."No, thank you." I smile.

  "Match the respect you're given but most importantly, match the disrespect we tend to ignore."♣️ Sumaya ♣️The revolver makes a clink sound when an empty chamber connects with the barrel, which is supposed to push the bullet out. A sign that Farouq is still breathing by luck.I stifle the choking cough burning in my throat. My vision is blury as I bend and hold my knees for support. For a minute there, I thought he was going to die and my whole body just shut down."You need to pull yourself together." Biker guy whispers and I slowly regain my posture as I take deep breaths. The helmet I'm in suddenly feels like an oven and I crave for fresh air but I have to bear with it."You're lucky to still be alive and if you want to prolong that, you must leave my woman alone.
