The Unromantic US 🌺
Episode Three🌼
Ifemi watched her sister and husband played as though they had known each other from somewhere.
Isn’t it just at the introduction? She asked thoughtfully as she set the table.
The food will be cold. She said.
Oops! We almost forgot that. Ayomi said feigning ignorance.
Let’s go and eat bro Ayomi. Ewa said dragging him to the table.
I will go ahead to my room now. Ifemi said leaving her husband and sister in the living room.
Okay sis! Good night! Ewa greeted saucily.
Good night my love! Ifemi said as Ayomi wondered if that was actually coming from her wife.
My love? I thought love is a forbidden word to say. Ayomi thought staring at his wife.
Good night Ayomi. She said pecking him.
Hmm! Ayomi sighed holding his cheek.
What’s wrong bro Ayomi? Ewa asked confused.
Nothing!
You look shocked or something. Ewa said staring at him
It’s nothing!
Leave that side bro Ayomi. I know what’s wrong.. she said throwing her face away as Ayomi stared at her.
You know what’s wrong? He asked surprised.
Yes, I know the sister I have to be a very rigid type and she is spiritual, no doubt! Just that I don’t know if it’s affecting your marriage. Ewa said as Ayomi became speechless.
See bro Ayomi, I can help you if you don’t mind. She said assuredly as Ayomi stared at her.
You can help me! How? Ayomi asked interested.
******
Ifemi! Ifemi! Ifemi na! Ayomi called one morning as he got ready for work.
I’ll be right there! She said from the kitchen.
See fine boy! Ewa said playfully as she dressed his collar.
Hmmhmm! Thanks my darling in-law. He said as Ifemi approached them.
My sister is lucky to have you. She said playing with his cheek as Ifemi stared at her dangerously.
Don’t come home late bro Ayomi. Ewa said seeing him off.
I won’t let you miss me more my darling in-law. He said waving at her.
Ok bye!
Bye Ewa. He said as he drove away.
Don’t you think you’re getting to intimate with him? Ifemi asked as Ewa returned to the house.
Who? Ewa asked sitting on the couch.
My husband. She said rather jealous.
Your husband who is my in-law. Ewa said playfully sensing jealous from her sister.
You should watch how you relate with the opposite gender so you won’t affect your spiritual state. Ifemi said as she walked into her room.
He is my sister’s husband and I don’t see any big deal with being friendly with him. You know how many family want to see themselves in unity? She smirked reaching for the TV remote.
How is she doing? Ayomi asked over the phone.
She’s fine but I think she’s a little bit jealous. She said smiley
Ah! Can she be? Ayomi asked as he also laughed.
Thanks for all you do Ewa. May God bless you for me. He said.
Thanks to God brotherly.
Buy me pizza when you’re coming. Ewa said loudly sighting Ifemide approach her.
She walked downstairs after her long hours of prayer.
Is that mum? Ifemi asked
No, your husband!
Is he on his way home? She asked taking a seat next her.
He’ll be home in a moment according to him. Ewa said
Let’s get ready for evening service. Ifemi said
Okay sis. You can go ahead. I will wait for bro Ayomi to come. Ewa said
You might be late if you have to wait for him. Ifemide said concerned
He said he’ll soon be here. Ewa said.
Let’s wait for him together then. Ifemi said as Ewa stared at her.
Are you sure you’re okay by that? She asked teasingly.
Of course! He’s my husband remember? She asked as Ewa threw her face away.
Pimpin! Ayomi horned as he entered the building. He beckoned at them.
Ifemi, you waited? He asked surprised.
Of course! She said as she gently entered the car.
Where is my pizza? Ewa asked forming a puppy face.
Here you go! Ayomi said throwing it at her.
Thanks brotherly! She said hugging him slightly.
We will be late for church! Ifemi said as she interrupted their conversation.
We’ll move it now? Ayomi said mindlessly.
They got to church in no time.
Wow! Bro Ayomide, such a long time. One of the members said on sighting them.
Abi o… Ayomi said joyfully.
Awwwn! Sister! Ehn, what’s that her name o? One of them said trying to remember the name.
Yes! Sister Ifemide! She said pointing at Ewadara.
No o! This is my wife, Ayomide said correcting her.
Wow! She looks more like one. The sister said jokingly as she went ahead to greet Ifemide who greeted them coldly.
I’ve been seeing that sister in church but I don’t know she’s your wife. I thought she’s a new member or something. The sister added.
No, she’s my wife and here is her sister. It’s because they look alike, that’s why you’re mistaking them. Ayomide explained.
Alright sister, we will go ahead now.
They got into the auditorium and the preacher talked about everything that’s happening to them.
What a revelation! Ayomi said as soon as they entered the car.
So, did she accuse you? The presenter asked.
Of course, she did!
So, you have been going around to tell people things that’s happening in our marriage? Ifemi asked staring at her husband
That should be a question for God not me! Ayomi snapped covering himself with the duvet.
Instead of you to submit to the lordship of the holy Spirit, you’re here questioning life out of me. Ayomi said as his wife kept quiet.
Good night my love! He said as he quickly peck her.
She didn’t react negatively? The presenter interrupted.
She didn’t!
She sat for hours, I guessed before she finally come to the bed.
The next morning, her sister was the first to wake me from sleep.
She knocked the door and walked in.
She sat beside me on bed and greeted me.
And the sister?
She was just watching. You know, one thing about my wife then was that. She doesn’t care about men from the crash, so she didn’t see any big deal in what her sister was doing. Ayomi said facing the presenter.
So, what happened after then?
There was a day myself and Ewa was chatting about the brother she was courting as at that time. Then, she asked how the wedding night do look like.
Bro Ayo! How does wedding night looks like? Were you guys nervous? How did big sis behaved? Was she shy? Did you guys do it on that night? She asked rushing her questions.
Thankfully enough, Ifemi was on duty. Then I dropped the bombshell.
We’ve not done anything! Ayomi said soberly as Ewadara stared in disbelief.
That can’t be true! She said forcing out laughter.
I’m not lying. She said she’s not ready and I don’t want to be a rapist.
Chai! Big sis is playing with fire o. What kind of thing is that? For complete seven months! She said almost shouting.
Ah! This is serious o! She said shaking her head.
Abi, this is where I found myself o. Ayomi said jokingly as he shrugged the thought.
Don’t worry bro Ayomi. I believe with time, she will realize all these. Thanks for standing through Sha, it took grace. She said as Ayomi chuckled.
Hello everyone! Ifemi greeted walking in.
My joy! How are you doing? She asked as she went closer to her husband.
I’m fine! Ayomi said staring at Ewadara who was also shocked.
See, I’ve been promoted! She said excitedly jumping on her husband.
Congratulations sis! Ewa said excitedly snatching the letter from her.
Ifemi stayed glued to her husband as Ayomi became restless.
I have to go to the gents! He said as he walked away coldly.
Okay my joy! Ifemi said shinning her teeth.
No! This isn’t happening. I haven’t seen her this way before, imagine how hard she’s laughing downstairs. Ayomi thought as he listened to how his wife was laughing.
Then, there must be much to this!
I think there’s more to it too! Ewadara said as they both stared at each other.
I’ve known my sister for years and I’ve not seen her that excited before. Ewa said
I think she likes being praised for the effort she’s making! Ayomi reasoned as Ewadara quickly jotted it.
I think we have a clue now, let’s work on that. Ayomi said
And the work began? The presenter asked smiley.
