"It's an understandable on how we can't cry out tears when we need them the most" Aisha said while looking at Rufus.
Her voice was hoarse and her throat felt dry with all the crying she had done.
Hamlin stood behind her, while she was seated on the bed besides Rufus.
Hamlin's hands were on her shoulder to offer her comfort. He slowly caressed her shoulders in a massaging manner. She was tense and in emotional pain so this was what she needed at the moment. Him! His support was important at the moment and it meant a lot to her that he was there for her, there for their son.
She had heard a lot of incidents where wives were left alone during a family omen to sort it out themselves by their husbands.
Hamlin being there made her feel loved and cared for. It proved that he was not like those men she had heard of.
