Mummy I got you a new husband

TANA’S POV

“Where is he?” I enquired, anxious about Ryan. I took up my phone and and realised it was already midnight. “I hope he is okay,” I whispered to myself, concerned about Ryan’s whereabouts. Ryan never acted this way unless something was wrong. I hope he was fine and that there was nothing wrong. I decided to dial his number again as he had not be picking up nor returning my calls. The phone rang repeatedly without any response. I dropped the phone, confused about what to do.

“Where has he gone?” I enquired again as I paced about in the room. Ryan had been acting strangely of late, and I had no idea why. He was keeping late nights and not taking my calls. ” But what could I do?” I muttered to myself as I picked up my phone again to dial his number again; it rang but there was no answer.

“Why is Ryan acting this way?” I asked myself as I dropped my phone in frustration and sat down. This was becoming too much to handle.

As I sat down to think over the possible reasons for Ryan’s behavior, I did not seem to know the reason why. Still lost in my thoughts, I heard my child calling out for me.

” Mummy, mummy,” I heard my son call out from his room, he was already asleep so I wondered what was wrong. I stood up from the sofa and dashed into his room to see what was wrong.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

As I got in, he was shaking his head and calling out for me. ” Was he having a nightmare?” I questioned myself as I rushed to where he was. He was still asleep but was screaming out of his sleep. I got to where he was and held him raising his head to my laps.”It alright baby, you will be fine, mummy is here.” I said and he was finally able to calm down after a while.

He opened his eyes eventually, while I was still muttering those words to him, “Mummy” He called out for me and I turned to face him. ” Where is daddy?” He asked as he opened his eyes and tears welled up my eyes. ” I had a night mare.” He said again, “Baby, daddy has to work, he would soon be back and you would be fine.” I said reassuring him as I held him, he soon fell asleep.

When I discovered he was sleeping, I lifted his head from my lap and placed it on the pillow to make him more comfortable, then stood up and covered him with a duvet.

I soon left the room to head back to the sitting room. Ryan has not returned and it was almost 2am in the morning. I sat down worried about the issues going on. I wondered why Ryan was acting the way he was. We were a peace loving family until we found out about son diagnosis and now this.

“I would wait for him right here.” I muttered to myself as I laid on the sofa, my kid already asleep, I expressed my thoughts about the cause of Karl’s misbehaviour. I soon fell asleep as I waited for Ryan and has the weirdest dream ever, I saw Sophie taking Ryan away from me and was awoken by Ryan’s unsteady footsteps back into the house.

‘Who is that? Is that you Ryan? I enquired as I spotted someone walking into the house; he did not react, and I soon discovered he was dead intoxicated as he entered the house.

” What is the matter with you, Ryan? “What exactly is your problem?” I yelled as I stared at him. Watching him staggering his way into the house. He did not respond to me, so I stood in front of him, blocking his path. ” Ryan I am talking to you,” I said, and when he discovered I was standing in his way, he shouted out, “Out of my way Tana,” he said as he pushed me and I landed on the floor. “How dare you push me, Ryan? I could call the cops on you right now,” I replied, getting up on my feet to face him.

He smirked and looked at me for a while before responding. “But if you do, I will go to prison, which I am sure you can not bear. Please just let me be Tana.” He spoke as he tried to walk into the room.

My mind raced with memories of incidents from years past. Our home had been so good and suddenly Ryan went mad looking for Sophie, leaving me at home alone. I tumbled down the stairs and lost the pregnancy and my womb as a result of complications. We couldn’t have more kids and now my baby was sick.

” Was that the reason for Ryan’s change in behavior?” I wondered as I thought about everything going on. Even though Ryan promised to stay with me for the rest of his life, He has been acting strangely since our child became ill. I wondered what it was about and no matter how I asked about it he would not say. He tried to walk into the room but I stopped him.

“What is the matter with you Ryan?” You come home drunk and now this?” He ignored me and tried to walk away again, but I was not having it so I grabbed his shirt, asking that he responded to me.

As I held him, I noticed the smell of alcohol from his breath, and the smell was enough to intoxicate me. I let go of him as I could barely breathe.

” Why are you doing this?” I asked him after I let go of him, tears welled up my eyes. He ignored me yet again and I yelled at him as I spoke to him this time.

“I hate you for making me go through all of this. I thought you loved me, Ryan.” I said as I tried to make him look at me. But it seemed I was beating a dead horse as Ryan seemed not to be listening to me.

” Ryan.” I yelled out as I called for him, ” What is it Tana, he yelled right back and starling me as I did not expect that reaction from him.

” You have only succeeded in making my life so miserable, you and your son.” He said as he walked away into the room. ” What did he mean by that?” This child was our son.” I exclaimed as I followed him into the room.

” Ryan, please he is our son.” I said as I tried to hold him but he shoved my hands away. “Is he though, is that boy my son?” He said peering into my eyes.

” Of course Ryan.” I responded as tears flowed through my face.” He is our son.”

” I have only one child and that is not with you.” He said as he laid on the bed to sleep.

” What child was he talking about? Was he cheating on me? Is this about Sophie again?” I questioned as sat on the bed, staring at him as I thought about everything that had happened. I was definitely going to find out what child he meant. I was going to make sure of it.
