Episode 2
✍️✍️ Onos Divinemercy Elekwa
My wife’s mother couldn’t make it for omogwu as she was not feeling too well, so I have to ask my mom to come over thinking her presence will make my wife change her attitude toward me a bit, she had stop giving me food since she delivered
Mama didn’t tell me she was coming until she got to the park, I have to go and bring her, since she didn’t know our new place, Angela was in the bathroom when I went to get mama, when we came in we met her breastfeeding our son
Erm my daughter, my beautiful daughter, the Lord has done us good, mama danced to embrace my wife and hold the child but Angela pushed her away
Anthony, what is the meaning of this, why didn’t you tell me you are bringing your mother to my house, Am I not the one that pays rent in this house is it because I accommodate you?
What is she talking about, mama was shocked at her behavior, she knew I lost my job, but didn’t know it has gotten to this extent, I didn’t want her to know so she wouldn’t get worried but Angela just exposed me, mama now know I’m at the mercy of my wife
And what is she doing here?
She is here for omogwu since your mum is sick, or don’t you need help, you didn’t even allow her touch her grandson
Bia Anthony, I don’t need help, feeding you only is enough burden, and now you want to bring all your family members for me to feed, is this not wickedness
Mama please go back, I don’t want you in my house, I can’t be feeding and housing you and your son, my sister is coming to assist me, Biko, I don’t want trouble, I love my space
You this mannerless girl, are you chasing me away from my son house?
Your son’s what I believe you didn’t hear what I have been saying, this house is mine, I pay the rent go back, please don’t stress me
I know this girl wasn’t the right one for your Anthony, I saw through her pretense when you brought her to me but you wouldn’t listen, I’m going, I have a house I’m not homeless
Mama mama please don’t go he called after his mother
Really, if she comes back here I will throw your thing alongside hers, nonsense
You didn’t tell me things has gotten to this point mama queried her son when she ran up to her outside the compound
Mama please forgive my wife, she is just bittered I’m not taking care of her as I use to
Can you hear yourself, a girl you literally worshipped when the going was good, she had turned you to her toy just because you are broke now and you are defending her, I wouldn’t say anything except that, when she finally throws you out, remember your late father have a house in the village, come and stay with me, good bye
Mama I’m deeply sorry
Chai she didn’t even let me hold my grandson that witch of a girl, someone I treated so well
It’s okay Mama,
I’m sorry I can’t pay your tfare back to the village I can’t even see you off to the park because I don’t have enough cash to go and come back
Don’t worry the money on me will be enough, take this little token, mama squeeze some naira notes in his hand, manage this, kneel let me pray for you
Mama blessed her son in tears and thereafter hug him and she left, Anthony felt a little better after the prayer and motherly advice, she felt true love again, there is none like a mother he lamented before going back inside
