The day I will live to regret


It is a very hot day and the temperatures are unbearable. Mirriam is walking towards the terminus from work and a car hoots next to her. She ignores at first thinking it is just  passing car but  the  hooting persists  until she responds.
She frowns at first because she is irritated by the sound of the hoot and the scorching sun.  To her surprise, she notices it is her high school classmate John, whom she last saw when they completed their Advanced Level education.
 She quickly jumps into the car as he offers her a ride home. John asks her out for drinks so they can catch up since it is long since they last met. She gladly accepts the invitation and they drive to a local bar. the conversation takes longer than expected  and they do not realize it is getting late.
They leave around 2000hrs and he drops her at her place.  As the car leaves, Mirriam notices her husband standing by the gate with an unusual look on his face. She greets him and he ignores and she quickly senses danger.
 As she closes the door behind her, she is slapped. While she tries to compose herself , she is pushed  to the floor and is beaten thoroughly.
Are the actions of the man justified as he beats the wife without asking where she was coming from.

Have your say…
