MY HOT TEMPERED HUSBAND
EPISODE 1
I will never forget my decision on the 13th of April 20….. that led to the journey of bitterness in my life and marriage. I was a very simple and loving girl until I met Alpha. My mother warned me, but I never listened. I thought I was in love, and love could overrule all shortcomings. I now agree with the common proverb that says “what an elder will see while sitting down, a young person may not see even if he is standing on a tall tree”.
On the 13th of April, I brought Alpha to my mother to formally introduce him to her as my husband-to-be. It was a Saturday morning and my mother had been expectant since I told her I was bringing a special guest to see her.
Her joy knew no bound when I told her of my plan to come home with Alpha, I had described the person of Alpha with mama How handsome and cute he was. Mama fell in love with Alpha even before she met him due to all I told mama about Alpha. The preparations for Alpha’s visit was like a woman expecting a king.
Which mother won’t be happy when her daughter is bringing a man of her choice to her; a pious and a rich guy. Mama ensured she stocked the fridge and freezer with all manner of food and drinks just in preparation for Alpha’s visit.
At a time I was jealous because the preparation was just too much. I never had fear if mama will accept Alpha or not because every woman will like him even at first sight.
The long awaited Alpha finally showed up. When I opened the door for him, I whispered to his ear “mama will be happy to see you”. I was impressed with his outfit and I knew that will also impress mama because he was wearing white lace. White was mama’s favourite colour. He bought many gifts for mama, so we headed to his car boot to pick the items before joining mama in the sitting room.
Mama, here is Alpha, my fiance, I introduced my awaited man to mama. “good morning” my mother greeted Alpha. I have been waiting for you since my daughter told me you will be coming. I have prepared all manner of food and I want you to be free because this is your house. Please have your seat, mama offered Alpha a seat.
“My son, what is your name? Mama asked Alpha. My name is Alpha Omar Bah, Alpha replied. Then mama looked at Alpha’s face, your name is Alpha? And you want to marry my daughter? Yes mama, Alpha replied with a smile. I love her ma, and I will like to marry her, he added. That’s okay, Fatou offer him something to drink and join me in the kitchen now. Mama said and headed to the kitchen.
I was very happy that mama is flowing with Alpha. I offered him orange juice and ran to join mama in the kitchen. When I met mama in the kitchen her countenance was not as good as it was when she left the sitting room. I was shocked seeing mama with frowned face. Anything the matter mama? I asked.
I was shocked with what mama told me in the kitchen.
