" We have to talk " I say as soon as he walked out of the bathroom.
" Okey " He sat down on the bed far away from me. " Talk" he says as he looked at me with a blank face .
" I'm sorry about what I did , I know that saying sorry won't change anything I did but I am sorry . I know this is not the first time I did somehow like this but I am sorry , please forgive me ." I say as tears stream down my faceche still has a blank stare .
" Well they say the first time is a mistake and well the second time is not. " He starts as he doesn't break his eyes away from me. " I'm still contemplating whether you are worth it or not...." I didn't let him finish as I got on my knees while .
" I am worth , please give one last chance if I mess up you can leave me and go on with your life please " I pleaded ,he sigh
" God knows how much I love you " Mpho
" And I love you too " I say
" I am not promising you anything, I might or might not divorce you " I says as he walked out and left me there still on my knees frozen.
