I Was Punished With A Strap

7 years ago I thought I threw away an expensive leather strap. He purchased a rubber one and whipped me very hard. I thought the whipping was never going to end. Well...we have been doing a,lot of remodeling in our house and he found the leather strap yesterday. I guess I hid it do well I forgot where.
It's a little damaged and he wants to know how to repair it so he can use it again. ( I'm about to be reminded as to why I hid the damn thing in the first place)
