00:00It was around 10 p.m. and I was now about to head home and my phone couldn't stop ringing
00:06and
00:07when I picked up, it was my husband and he was yelling, he was really yelling and
00:12he couldn't understand why I was out past 10 p.m. and I paid the taxi, I got out
00:20and when I just got into the compound, all of my clothes had been thrown outside
00:25and I started to pack my things and he pulled me and he said, you're not going anywhere
00:29get in the house and that's the first time he beat me up, yeah.
00:36You must have been very confused.
00:37I was, I was very, very confused. I did not understand what was happening.
00:46The tiny bug is, see, she's grateful that I left while we were still alive. So it's, it's, it's a
00:54little
00:54difficult, obviously, because that's her father, but that's the reality. That's our reality.
01:01Ah, it, it, it hurts. It hurts because a lot of times when I retell this story, I have this
01:11thing
01:12in my head where I keep asking, so why didn't I live the first time? Why didn't I live the
01:16first time?
01:17I couldn't believe that I went through that, that I allowed myself to see through the pain
01:23and the agony and all of that violence without doing anything about it.
01:40It's actually really sad. It's, it's quite heartbreaking. That scene we just saw,
01:46ah, it feels like I'm reliving that moment again. Only now, um, I'm not in, I can't say I'm in
01:55any type of pain.
01:56But sometimes, um, I'm, um, I feel disappointment that I went out seeking love, marriage, a husband,
02:04and this is what came.
