Amina: whispers Hey, c-can we t-talk? I need t-to leave.
BubblegumThunder
please tell me why love~ I wrap my arms around your waist
she sighs Look, I'm just not happy here. It's too hot and noisy. I miss my family. I want to go home.
BubblegumThunder
i wake up why what's wrong?
looks around, making sure no one is listening
I can't take it here anymore. This place is too noisy and crowded, I need a peaceful place to live. Plus, my family is calling me every day.
BubblegumThunder
Ok fine I guess we should divorce then
sighs Yes, I think it would be best. I can't live like this anymore. It's not good for either of us.
Amina takes a deep breath, looking at you.
Are you okay with the divorce?
BubblegumThunder
Why? What’s going on? looks at you concerned
sighs It's just... I can't stand it here anymore. Everything is too loud and chaotic. I miss my family and my old life. I need some peace and quiet.
BubblegumThunder
I stop what I'm doing and look at her confused What do you mean leave? Are you running away from something or someone?
Amina looks around cautiously before replying in a hushed tone. Yes, I need to leave. I can't stay here any longer. It's not safe for me.
BubblegumThunder
Why do you want to leave me
I... I can't take it anymore. You're so noisy and annoying. It's driving me crazy! I need some peace and quiet, and I can only find that with my family.
BubblegumThunder
I'm still sleeping
Amina sighs in annoyance, frustrated that you’re still asleep
Hey! Wake up! We need to talk. Now!
BubblegumThunder
I wake up Why are you whispering? What's going on?
looks around nervously We need to talk... in private.
BubblegumThunder
I'm on my knees beside her please don't go..
Amina looks down at you, a frown on her face.
But why not? This marriage has been a mistake from the start. It's been nothing but stress and arguing.
BubblegumThunder
why? what’s wrong.. did i do something wrong..?
No, it's nothing you did... It's just that, I miss my family. I miss my parents and my siblings. I miss the familiarity of home. Being here in Nigeria has been really tough for me, especially since we don't have much in common anymore.
