What can go wrong

At about 2am Sleep was no where to be found in my eyes, i Couldn't help but pounder over things, i didn't realize how far time had gone. This is too much for Me to bear. Father Lord please help me.

Why is mike doing this to me, what is my offense, is it because I wanted children, isn't that one of the things that makes us a married couple, Why does he not want to have a family of his own, its been two weeks now after the Signing of the divorce Papers, Didn't we ever mean anything to him?.

These were the questions that kept dancing in my head. We were married for almost 2years, we dated for 8months before deciding to get married.

We meet during our university days, I was in my 300 Level and he was in his finals, remembering those days way back was a beautiful thing, it was Magical or so i thought.

He has been acting up months now without telling me why, whenever i ask him what the issue is, he'd attribute it to work stress, but I Knew deep down it was more than just work Issues.

it all started when i told him am ready to have a child for him, I could see the joy in his Face, he screamed in joy, Pampering me throughout that day and for months, it's not as if he has not been pampering me, but this was extreme, and I Loved every bit of it.

immediately he thought of a name we would name the child, be it girl or a boy.

it was obvious he really wanted a child, but months later he suddenly told me he doesn't want a child. But I insisted I wanted it, he wasn't okay with my decision and he requested for a divorce. This isn't the Solution to this problem I said to him, pleading with him but he just wouldn't Listen.

I strolled quietly in the streets, turning to a Corner that Leads to my flat that was once mikes too.

I bumped into an old Man, his eyes bright green, I could See it clearly from the shadows of the street Light.

"I am Sorry" he apologized in his shaky voice. I was the one that hit him, why is he apologizing I thought to myself.

"oh no, i am sorry i was not watching, it's all my fault" I returned the apology and he smiled.

"You seem troubled, anything i can help you with?" he asked tilting his head to a side, as if he was reading me.

"its nothing to bother you about. i should probably get going" I said smiling.

"wait" he called out and I turned to him.

"Let me show you something" he said with a bright glow of expression. he gave me his hands and i looked at it for a short while.

Why was I talking to an old man again? I ask myself and as if he heard Me.

"I'm just old, but I won't harm you. I want to help" he replied to my inner question.

With a head gesture toward his hands, he gave me a warm smile.

what could go wrong right?.

I placed my palm on his and he read them, drawing lines with his Fingers, he shakes his head and Looked up to me.

"You are having trouble with your marriage and I think I know the exact solution to that hmm" he finished, i immediately retreated my hands and shoved it inside my pockets. He laughed and reached out to his bag.

"How di' - I was saying but he cuts me off by shushing me.

"Take this, and you will see all that you want. The answers will appear to you. All that You need to do, is have a nice and hot Shower, with this in your hands and think of your husband" he said and i was Confused the more.

What the hell Brenda, Leave here now before something happens, i said to myself but I see my hands reaching for the object. i took it and Looked at it intensely.

"oh thank you.... i guess" I trailed Off and he Laughs again. And walked away, I watched him leave, then i headed

for my apartment.

I placed my bag on the floor and dumped myself on the couch, and continued from where i stopped, crying.

The next day, I felt Like I had carried bags of Cement, the heaviness and pain I was feeling was much, I was Looking for Something to take in relieving my Pains. But first let me Freshen up, heading towards the bathroom I sighted the round metal object the old man gave to me last night. i picked it up, filled the tub with hot water.

" What Could go wrong right?" i asked myself, Sighing as i entered the water, held the object In my hand, closing my eyes, i thought of mike.

few seconds later nothing was happening and the second i was about opening my eyes, i felt a zap.

i opened my eyes immediately and found myself in my room.

"Did you hear me?" a voice startled me and i jump, turning to see it was mike.

He looked handsome as usual, fixing his ties.

"What the hell is this" I asked a bit scared and looking around abruptly. Causing mike to stare at me with a question look.

"Are you okay Honey? its fine if you're not feeling well to visit my Mom, so I'll see you when I return. I love you" he finished, placing a kiss on my lips and leaving the room just immediately.

I stood there, my heart racing, like I ran a marathon. What the hell is going on? i said to myself

I walked to the sitting room and noticed our wedding frames were still hanging on the wall, and the room looked bright and alive, just like it was when mike was still with me.

I searched my hands for the metal object but it was gone.

Oh my God, I think I went back in time!!!

but how can this be?.

My head wanted to explode. Immediately I felt a migraine coming on, so i went in search of aspirin for a relief.

I went to work and the mood was vibrant as ever. No one was looking at me like the lady that her marriage just got ruined like they did, few weeks ago. those few weeks were a torment for me as coming to work was something i didn't think i could do anymore.

I headed straight to my apartment after about four hours of seeing what life I was currently living in, which happen to be a month ago.

mike got home and I decided to keep this to myself, maybe I was brought here for a reason.

He bought some fast foods and we ate. But all the while I kept staring at him.

"Are you okay?" He asked, with a mouth full of fries and I nodded nervously.

Am I okay? I am sitting with you in a moment that happened months ago, sure I am feeling great!

My head answered sarcastically but my mouth just gave him a faint smile.

"So I spoke with the Doctor and she said we can meet her tomorrow in the afternoon"
