Greg came home earlier that day and found Mary watching a variety show she liked following, he looked in a good mood so they had a good time together, Mary had been tempted to tell her husband that she is bored at home alone all day but then she holds it back every time she is about to say it.

She doesn't know what's holding her back, she feels that since her husband is in a good mood then it would be better to bring up the topic but then another part of her tells her that she might ruin the happy moment they have together.

Greg notices that there is something bothering his wife and asks but then she said that it was nothing but he still could see that she had something to say but she was holding back for a reason he did not know, that is strange, he thought, if ever she has an issue, she always says it without giving it much of a thought.

Maybe she will come along later, he thought.

The following few days were very much okay because there was no argument between them, Mary was unable to tell her husband that she wants to get back to work.

She called her former workplace and they asked if she would be going back since they miss her, she was very nice to everyone.

Am sorry madam, I don't think I will be able to come back, in fact, the reason why I called you was to inform you that I want a transfer to a hospital close to my home since I can't make it there and back every day. what I will be doing is just traveling.

Oh, I understand you got married and you are no longer living close by, that's sad to us we already miss your presence in this place.

I miss you people too but after thinking and much consideration, I really have no other option.

I understand, so when are you coming to clear with the hospital? Asked the manager.

Let me talk to my husband and I will be coming soon, I want you people to refer me to the olive hospital, I know you can, or to your branch, in this place if they have a vacancy.

Don't worry about that, since you have been good and hardworking, we will just post you to our other branch in your area they need three people there and am sure you can fill one position.

wow, that's the best news have heard of late. Thank you so much, madam.

It's well, when you do good, the good deeds will always follow you and vice versa because if you were not nice I would not bother with you. But remember to be fast, they need replacement in the next two weeks latest so you will have to hurry.

You don't have to worry about that, two weeks is a lot of time.

Mary is that person who doesn't keep the good news to herself but also shares most of them with just one person and that's her brother, She called Fred immediately after talking to the hospital manager.

Everyone knows that Good cure hospital is a famous hospital and it is not easy to get a job there so the fact that Mary got a transfer from one branch to another in the same hospital is really big news.

Fred, has always been there to listen to everything she shares, whether it makes sense or not, he has to listen and for this particular news, he is happy for his sister.

Wow that's great darling, seems luck is on your side, am happy for you and please use the opportunity wisely, there are many out there wishing they could have the chance to work with such a hospital but they never get it. I know and I never joke with my job.

Good luck dear sister.

Thank you

When Greg came home in the evening, he met a beaming Mary, he wondered why she was so happy, did anything happen? or was it the same thing she has been wanting to tell him but could not?

He wondered if the mood at home was sweet since she infected him with her happiness.

After they had their meal, Mary told him that she had something to tell him.

It was sure to come out, what is it darling ? he asked.

Well, I have been wanting to tell you this for some time now and I think this is the right time to say it,

Alright, what is it?

Okay since I stay home alone I have been experiencing boredom all day long and was thinking of how I can kill the boredom.

And?

Well, I still have a job and so I was thinking of resuming my job since I am not doing anything constructive at home.

Oh, is that it?

Yeah.

But that hospital is very far away, I don't think you can make it there and back every day even if you are so willing to work.

I know darling, it's not near and that is why I called the hospital to discuss the issue with the human resource manager.

So you already called them?

Yeah,

And you are just letting me know about it?

I called them just today so I think the time is right to let you know.

Okay, so what did you discuss with them?

Well since I am not close to that hospital, they agreed to give me a transfer to their branch in town, darling I am so happy, it isn't easy to get an opportunity in such a hospital and they told me that they have three vacant positions and I should report before the end of two weeks and I really have the chance.

Oh, really? , wow.

Why do you look like you are not happy for me? Mary asked her husband.

I am happy for you darling, am just surprised you are telling me now.

Oh, sorry if I did a mistake, I will soon be going to see the manager and clear with the hospital for me to be able to relocate.

That's nice of you, so when are you traveling?

The day after tomorrow I think will be okay, let me arrange everything tomorrow then I will leave the following day early in the morning so that I will be able to come back the same day.

That is great. He said quietly, no one knows what he was thinking.

The day finally came and Mary left very early she did not want to spend the night there so before she left, she prepared breakfast for her husband and everything else he would need before going to work.

She was to drive all the way, she thought of taking a bus but then rejected the idea since it might take her long to wait for the bus, so she drove from home.

Four hours later, Mary was at the hospital, the manager was happy to see her as well as the other staff, they really missed her around but some things are inevitable, she had to take care of her new home and that means she will not be working with them anymore but then she will be working with the same hospital branch in another town.

She cleared everything up and had a long talk with the manager, she was almost her mother's age mate and they are really close and talk a lot, so she wanted to know how Mary was coping with this new part of her life.

Am doing really fine and my husband is good as well, feel so good about everything and I hope everything remains the way it is.

Am happy to hear that my dear, marriage is a beautiful thing, and with love and understanding, it lasts forever I wish you the very best, and may you have a successful one.

Thank you so much doctor, you know I never thought things were that good since you occasionally hear people talking bad about marriage, and people whose marriages failed will always be criticizing it and make people fear the institution.

The manager laughed at that, but you did not take that to heart that is why you are already married, isn't it so?

You are right, I listened to my heart instead and am happy I did.

That's it my dear, you have to trust yourself people are unpredictable and be careful and wise around your husband, these men are all good until you do something they don't like, they might change into someone you don't know, so cherish your love, pray for it and more importantly learn to listen to your husband. By listening I mean being there when he needs someone to talk to or when he's bothered by something, you will always know when something is not right with him, at such moments, you don't have to talk, just listening to him is enough it will make him feel better, am telling you something that has worked for me for years in my marriage and whenever you people have an argument try to always be cool, sometimes it's hard but you just need to try, everything I can tell you will just end with one point, your mouth can build or destroy your union, so try to control that.

I understand that very well, she said to the manager, she had a small talk with the other friends before she bid them farewell. the following day, she will have to go to the hospital in town.

Mary started driving back home at around 3.30 pm, she knew she would arrive a little late but it was good she will get home. She always likes listening to soft music when driving since it soothes her mind and gives her a peaceful ride.
