COMPULSORY MARRIAGE SEASON 2 = EPISODES 9, 10 & 11
Episode 9
I woke up around past one, try her number again and it was saying switched off. I catch some sleep late, woke up by 4am, took my bath and stepped out of the house.
I decided to head straight to Ajao Estate and if I didn’t see her there I will know she slept in their house and see her later in the day in the office.
I was surprise when I got to their compound and saw light on, definitely someone was inside, I knocked at the door and was even amazed when she answered and open the door for me.
Me: what happened baby? Why didn’t you come home?
Biola: Am very sorry baby, it wasn’t my fault
Me: what happened? i called your number so many times, you didn’t pick and suddenly it was switched off
Biola: Am so sorry baby, I had a flat battery and it wasn’t intentional.
Me: So, what happened why did you sleep here because I know even if you came here late, you would have call me to come and pick you
Biola: Am sorry, ehmmmm…..Baby, just help me thank God for my life, it was God that saved me yester night.
Me: what happened?
Biola: I was at the bus stop when I started hearing gunshot, I started running home and I guess that would have been the time you were calling me.
I started running home and by the time I got to our gate, they have locked it and I started knocking the door but nobody to open for me.
I had to call Emma who came down to open for me because our security was nowhere to be found.
Me: That is serious.
Biola: By the time I checked my phone, it was off already and there was no light to charge, I was so scared to go out of the room.
Me: But what exactly happened yesterday
Biola: We left the pastor’s place late, he was having some visitors when we got to the church, he called dad maybe he can come and meet us at the church but he said he was far but will see him later.
I got here around quarter to nine and my intention was just to pick what I wanted within two minutes and start coming but the armed robbers operated for more than an hour.
Me: How were you able to sleep at home alone then?
Biola: Its by God’s grace and one mind, I wish you could see me yesternight.
Me: We thank God nothing happened to you, I was seriously worried and had it in mind that if I didn’t see you here, the next thing was to check you up in the office.
Biola: Thanks so much dear
Me: So, what was the outcome with the pastor?
Biola: He said we shouldn’t worry that he will talk to my dad. Grandma still maintain that its that 6 weeks time but they want to engage my dad first before asking you to tell your people
Me: That is good, that means its your dad that is the major challenge now.
Biola: I don’t even know for him ooooo…..lemme quickly take my bath baby, this is 5:30 am already.
Biola excused herself pull off her cloth in the bedroom and went to the bathroom to take her bath, after like 5minutes when I realized she has started taking her bath, I pull of my cloth, placed them very well in the bedroom and entered the bathroom to meet her there, I held her from behind and started massaging her b****t.
Biola: baby Noooo, we are getting late for work already.
Me: Yeah I know but we still have little time..have missed you so much baby
Biola: Have missed you too baby, we will have the time later in the evening
Me: I want it now baby, I just want to be inside you now
Biola: Noo baby…please
Me: Please now, even if just for five minute just to go in and come out
Biola: I will feel tired at work and you know today is Monday, first day at work and am having slight headache too
Me: please now baby
Biola: Am also begging you now baby..please, lets wait till evening baby
Me: Okay, but please just make me release baby
Biola: How do you want me to do that?
Me: I don’t know baby, just make me pour this thing……
Before I concluded the statement, she already started kissing me rubbing her hand on my Dickson, she knelt down after a while and placed my Dickson inside her mouth and started s*****g me real hard, she was digging it that I didn’t know when I started saying gilbrish….
Biola: Ouchhhh….why do you have to release inside my mouth now
Me: am sorry baby…..
I feel relaxed after pouring out, we took our bath and left for work. I first drop her at her office before going to my office and went to pick Biola later in the evening even though we didn’t later had s-x at night.
We came back from work on Wednesday evening when Biola’s mum called her and said that Biola’s father will like to see both of us on Saturday.
Biola asked if there was a breakthrough and she told her that she was not aware of anything that he came back from work that evening and told her to talk to Biola.
I asked if the pastor have been able to talk to him but nobody was aware of the
reason for the meeting as she was not sure if the pastor had seen him.
Around 12pm on Saturday, we left my place on Saturday and headed straight to Biola’s house, we were talking about so many things and our prayer was that her father’s mind should have soften as nobody knows the reason why he asked us to come.
We got to the house but met his absence, Biola’s mum welcome me very well as a son inlaw and said she does not know the reason why he called us.
Just like 30minutes we got there, he
entered and I greeted him, he didn’t even answer me only Biola’s Mum Responded.
COMPULSORY MARRIAGE SEASON 2
Episode 10
Biola’s Dad: I know you will be surprised I called you abi?
Me: Yes sir
Biola’s Dad: Don’t be surprise, I don’t want you to see it as if I hate you or something, am only working on my instinct that tells me things will not work out between you and my daughter
Biola: rara Sir, everything will be fine sir
Biola’s Dad: Shut up your mouth there? What do you know?
Biola: Am sorry sir
Biola’s Dad: There is this Yoruba adage that says that “what the elders see while sitting down, the young ones cannot see it even when they are standing”….Since every other person has given their consent and you guys are making me look like the devil, I have to soft pedal.
Me: Thank You sir
Biola’s Dad: What are you thanking me for? Hold your thank you………..Am only doing this just because you guys have been reporting me to everybody and I don’t know who else you are going to report me to. I will let you guys have your way but am telling you that this is not coming from my mind. Grandma has spoken and I don’t think I have the right not to listen to her if I want my children to listen to me.
They have picked the date, you can relate same to your people, the introduction and everything will be in this place and nothing elaborates. You can start preparing for the wedding in 5 weeks time. Let me warn you Mr. Man, if anything should happen to my daughter, you will see the kind of person am made of and you madam, anything you see where you are going, you will bear with it
Biola: Thank you very much sir, nothing will happen to us by God’s
Biola’s Dad: You have nothing to thank me on, just be rest assured to accept whatever your eyes sees where you are going? Just inform your parent to come and do the necessary things in five weeks time
Me: Thank You Sir.
I left Biola’s house with fulfillment as I couldn’t wait to break the news to my parent. I tried calling both of them but none picked up. I was so glad when my mum called me back later in the evening
My Mum: Hello Oko mi, we saw your missed calls
Me: Yes Ma, I was calling to check on you
My Mum: hey yah..we are fine, we were at fellowship around when you called

Me: Biola Is fine Ma…everything is fine..its all good news mummy
My Mum: Thank God..so, what is it all about?
Me: Nothing really much, I went to Biola’s house today to meet with her parent
My Mum: okay….with her father inclusive?
Me: Yes..he was the one that called for the meeting
My Mum: So, how was it?
Me: He said we should come and do the necessary things for my wife on the date

My Mum: so, he has finally agreed?
Me: Yes mummy………..
My Mum: Halleluyah….Thank God, do you know

My Dad: Why thanking me? Which one is my own? You are the one getting married and all am to do that day was just to sit down and eat abi what else

Me: It will definitely breed good things sir
My Dad: I hope so..Bye Bye…..
My Mum: Is Biola there? Lemme speak to her abeg
Me: Okay Ma…
I gave the phone to Biola and I could hear them talk for a very long time, there were time
Biola will be serious on phone while sometimes she will burst into laughter.
Throughout their discussion, I was just thinking of what my Dad said trying to relate it with what happened at Biola’s house earlier. The question was, why was it that both father are hell bent on the marriage not happening?
COMPULSORY MARRIAGE SEASON 2
Episode 11
They gave their consent quite alright but not total commitment into the relationship but I guess it was because of what I did earlier which I believe will fade away over time.
Me: so, what did you discussed with my mum on phone?
Biola: why do you want to know?
Me: Am your husband of course and I need to know everything
Biola: Husband ko, Husband ni? U don pay for my dowry? Wait till after 5 weeks before saying that
Me: So, you wont tell me abi?
Biola: I wont oo…its mother and daughters talk or did I ask you what you discussed with them too?
We turn it to joke and played with it, I tried to find out what she discussed with my mum but she didn’t tell me despite pleading with her at a stage. We shifted discussion to plan for the wedding, how the day was going to look like, the financial implication, the guest and all the necessary things needed for that day.
We started making list of what we will require for the day and ended the night with a romantic and lovely s-x, it was even Biola that initiated the s-x to mark the good news of what happened earlier in the day and we renewed our vow all over again.
Wedding preparation was in top gear; virtually everybody in my office was aware of my engagement even though our plan was a low key engagement because of what happened earlier. We were both happy that finally our dream was coming through.
Biola was virtually the happiest person on earth during this period as have never seen her so happy like that before.
We already delivered all the content of the list they gave us from Biola’s house, even though most of the things they requested for was on a high side, we were able to beat it down.
The most surprising thing out of it all was when Biola’s dad said he was not going to collectthe bride price from me as he was not selling his daughter to me.
The wedding day was already here; all preparation was from my parent house. We left as early as 8am as the program was suppose to start by 10am.
We got there by past 9am and it was even a surprise that Biola’s dad was not fully dressed. My parent and I went through the back door to greet Biola’s parent and most especially her grandma who made the day possible for us…..
Biola’s Mum: Oko Iyawo.
Me: Yes mummy
Biola’s Mum: Congratulations…your mind is at rest now abi, your wife is finally coming home to you
Me: All thanks to you Ma…May God continue to bless you for us Ma
Biola’s Mum: Amen Dear…your wife is inside oo, they are still dressing up, will you go in to see her
Me: No need Ma, she will still come out ma
Biola’s Mum: Abi ooo..have you seen Daddy?
Me: Yes Ma..i saw him on our way coming in
now
Biola’s Mum: okay
It was a great engagement as we seriously enjoyed ourselves unlike what happened between me and Mary, my dad and Biola’s
dad later loose up and I was surprise that
Biola’s dad knows how to dance that much.
What we thought was going to be a small engagement later turn out to be a large one as people were much, even those that I never expected will make it that day was present and graced our wedding. It was truly an atmosphere of Joy.
We left with our wife around 6pm to my parent house, we got home around seven pm, some guest that couldn’t make it to my in-law’s house came to greet us at home, I was seriously tired and had to pull off my agbada and shoe that moment as I was on slippers. It was around past 8pm when I was told some 3 guys were asking of me outside.
I went out to meet them and I was surprised that, not that I don’t know any of them but their mode of dressing doesn’t show they came to greet us for the wedding….
Me: Good evening oo
Man: Good evening…..Are you Mr snakie?
Me: Yes..how may I help you?
Man: We are from the state CID (flashed his ID Card), your presence is needed in our office
Me: For what? What did I do?
Man: Once you get to our office you will know…….
Me: But at least you should tell me my offence (Raising my voice to call attention)
My Dad: What happened?
Me: They said they are police and am wanted in their office but they wouldn’t tell me my offence
My Dad: Sorry Officers, what exactly is going on..as you can see, today is his wedding and its not suppose to be spoilt this way, you should be able to tell us his offence and why he is needed in your office
Second man: Thank You sir, he will know his offence once he get to the office, we are only respecting him because we see him as a gentle man, we expect him to keep quiet because whatever he say now will be use against him in the court of law
My Dad: This is serious…which station are you from?
“crowd already gathered at us, I looked into Biola’s face and she was looking confused”
Man: From the state CID sir..you can meet us there sir
Before I knew what was happening, they already brought hand cuff and put it on my hand, I was still dragging with them as they put me behind the Honda halla they parked outside, there was a driver in the car already waiting for them, they didn’t even wait for other people to meet us outside before they zoomed off……………….
