" I know you don't care about me, but at least think about your baby who is in my womb. Your trip is even important than our baby?" Maria said this to her husband.
"It's just a one-day trip, baby, I'll be back tomorrow." He replied.
"But I am not in a condition that you would leave me alone."
"Don't sweat it, sweetheart! We would be in touch."
Maria and Saeed were married for 2 years, and now Maria was going to give birth to their first child. It was her last month of pregnancy, and her husband was planning a trip with his friends. Although he loved Maria but he was a little careless person. Maria told him to stay at home, but he was persistent and gave her justification for his trip.
"Alright! This is all I could say, now it's your own choice." She said to him.
But now Saeed had made up his mind, so he didn't care about what she said to him. So after packing his little suitcase, he left for the trip.
"I would be in touch through a video call."
He said while kissing her forehead. After his departure, Maria got emotional and shed some tears. But after some time, she got busy doing some housework. In the afternoon, she prepared her lunch and later washed some plates. She was about to have some rest, just then someone knocked at the door. She went to open the door.
A healthy man with a long mustache was standing there. He was wearing a black coat and gave her a stern look. Before she could speak, he asked her about Mr Saeed. Maria informed that her husband is out of the city for a day.
"Mam! Can you please hand over this letter to Mr Saeed? It's from a multinational company where he works."
After this, the man went, and Maria took the letter inside. It was a white envelope with a blue stamp on it. Maria was curious, so she immediately opened it. There was a paper in it, which she opened and began to read. It was a warning letter from his company for not paying his debt for a long time. Maria was shocked to read it, as her husband didn't share it with her.
"Why did he take the debt? He didn't even bother to inform me." She said to herself.
On the other hand, Saeed reached his destination with his friends. Maria called him but he wasn't picking up his call. After a while, Saeed called her back.
"You promised that you would be in touch with me, but you didn't even bothered to call me once."
"Babe! I forgot to charge my phone before leaving, so the battery was low. Now we have reached in hotel and I have put it on charge."
"Alright!"
Maria was a sensible lady, she didn't bother him while he was away from home, but she was worried to think about it. The next day, Maria woke up and she was feeling uneasy. After breakfast, she did some housework. Saeed called to ask about her well-being.
"Hello, babe! I hope you are doing well."
"Yes, I am okay!"
"Take care of yourself! I will be back in the evening."
Saeed enjoyed himself a lot with his friends, and at 4 pm, they left for home. Unluckily, on the way, their car met with an accident. The ambulance dropped them off at the hospital. Maria received a call from an unknown number, and the caller informed her about the accident. Maria got panicked and she lost her senses. While Saeed got treatment in the hospital and was discharged in the evening with two of his friends. He rang his wife, but she was not responding. He hired a taxi and reached his home.
But to his surprise, no one was at home. He got worried and went to ask his neighbours about his wife. The lady came outside and was shocked to see Saeed, as he was injured. He told her about the accident, and she informed him about his wife.
"I went to give her pudding, and she was lying unconscious. We dropped her off at the hospital and also informed her mom. Don't sweat it, now she is perfectly fine and will be home soon. "
After a while, Maria came home with his mother. She was happy to see Saeed, but he was embarrassed for leaving his wife alone in this condition. She told him everything, and he was sorry for his negligence. But he was also grateful as he escaped any bigger loss.
Thanks for reading.
