Episode seven🌼
So, you stayed back? The presenter asked smiley
I actually did. Ayomi replied.
Ifemide, see something! Sikemi said excitedly handling her an envelope.
You’re pregnant? Ifemi asked popping her eyes.
Yes my darling sister! I am o! She said jumping up and down.
Congratulations sister sikemi. Ayomi said concentrating on his phone. He took a quick glance at his worried wife as he quickly threw his face away.
Congratulations Sikemi. May we carry the baby in our hands when it’s due season.
Amin o! May God bless your womb too my friend. Sikemi said using her hands to wrap her shoulder.
It is well okay! It doesn’t matter who has it first, God will do yours very soon. Sikemi said sympathetically.
Amen my dear! Ifemi said.
Wo! Me I’m leaving niyen o! I was coming from the hospital, so I had to branch here first. Let me go and tell my husband… She said jumping to her feet.
Okay o! My regards to him. I will come in the evening to visit you. Ifemi said seeing her to the door.
Alright darling! Sikemi said closing the door behind her.
Ifemi left the knob only to meet the peering eyes of her husband.
I pray we also have some kind of good news one day! He said sarcastically as Ifemi stood fixed at the door.
Can I go now? At least, your friend is gone! He stood reaching for the door as Ifemide quickly stepped aside.
At least, we did it once! Ifemi snapped as Ayomi turned.
Once! Is that how it turns to baby? He asked angrily.
Wow! So, you guys eventually did it? The presenter asked excitedly.
Yes! One night like that. Ayomi replied.
Wow! How did it happen?
Sister mhi, take it easy o! Ewadara said as she helped Ifemi sit.
How is it? She asked again.
I don’t know, but it seems something is walking in my body. She complained.
Hanhan! What did you eat? She asked pretending to be ignorant of what was happening to her.
The same rice we took na. She said restless.
Sorry! It may be a little reaction. Ewa said as she watched Ifemi held unto the throw pillows.
I’m home! Ayomi said unknown about the incident at home.
Welcome bro Ayo. Ewa greeted as Ayomi watched his restless wife.
What’s wrong with Ifemi? He asked facing ewadara.
She said something is walking in her body or so. Ewa explained.
She( Ife) stood as she held her husband.
Relax Ifemi! What’s wrong? Ayomi asked looking into her eyes.
I don’t know! She said weakly.
Let’s go in! Ayomi said walking her upstairs.
You can go to your room, I will take care of her. Ayomi said to Ewa.
Okay sir! Good night!
Aunty mhi, take care o! She said amidst laughter as she headed for her room.
Shebi you say, you’re stubborn ni. She said laughing hysterically. We will live to hear the testimony tomorrow. She said smiley as she collapsed on the bed.
Ayomi! Ifemi called wrapping her hands round him.
Why are you like this na? Ayomi asked disturb.
I don’t know but something is walking in my body. She said again, this time reaching for his lips.
Is it the thing walking in your body that want a kiss or you? He asked mockingly and the rest is history….
Interesting! But I’m still confused! What made her body moved? The presenter asked.
Actually, according to what I learnt. She took a drug that should be taken only by someone who is ready for pregnancy, and ewadara knowing fully well that she was hiding to be trying even without doing anything, made her use it without telling her the consequence. Ayomi explained.
Ewa was a life saver! The presenter said smiley.
****
It was painful and I don’t want to be in pain again. She said defensively.
Get pregnant with that too! The husband said as he opened the door, only to meet sikemi starring at them in disbelief.
What! She exclaimed as she threw a dangerous look at Ifemi.
Ifemi felt like the ground should open and swallow her shame, but we die here ni!
Ayomi stormed out of the house to catch up with Simi.
Ifemi? Tell me what I heard is not true? Once since seven months! Haba! That’s bad na and you were saying amen when I was praying. Tarh! I reverse my prayers. Sikemi said bending to pick the envelope she forgot.
It’s not my fault, just that..
You don’t like things like that! Sikemi completed her statement.
Ifemi, don’t allow your husband to go out. Forget the fact that you both got married in church and this and that. He is a man and blood runs through his veins. I know this your nagging attitude is one of the reasons you don’t want him close to you. Besides, stop all these your holier than thou attitude.
For God sake, you’re now married and no longer single. He is your husband and not just a brother to you anymore. This might even be a sin sef, you’re denying your husband his marital right which is bad. Hmm! I’ve said mine o. Sikemi said standing to leave as Ayomi stormed in restlessly again.
What! She’s pregnant? Please help me watch over her, she’s a friend! He said rushing upstairs to get something.
Her name is Simi Aderinola, I will take full responsibility for anything. Ayomi said rushing out of the house again.
Pregnant! No! She can’t be! Ifemi said as she cried life out of herself.
Who is that? Sikemi asked confused.
She is Ayomi’s friend. Ifemi said amidst tears.
So, how does her being pregnant concerns you? Sikemi asked.
She is the lady Ayomi was planning to meet when you came in. He has been going to her place for some weeks now. She said crying uncontrollably.
Na gobe be this o! Eee! Chineke mo! Sikemi said staring at her crying friend.
Don’t hurt yourself Ifemi, we don’t know if she’s pregnant for him na! She said trying to stop her from crying.
Na why Bible say, a wise woman buildeth her own house and the fo..olish, scattereth it with her hands… Sikemi said pacifying her.
Wahala be like wetin bayi o…
