SISTER ADURAGBEMI.
Part 20
By Authoress Rhoda.
As at 8pm that day, Lanre wasn’t back home. He was enjoying his life in Clara’s house.
Madam Sade was fully prepared for him. She sat outside, hitting her legs on the floor repeatedly to express how furious she was. Her eyes were already bringing out fire that could destroy anyone who dare look at her eyeball to eyeball.
“I pity this man tonight. He should bother not to come home. Else, I will kill him.” She said out loud, demonstrating with her hands, how she was going to strangle him.
One of Lanre’s friend overheard her. He walked away immediately he knew Sade was suspicious of someone overhearing her words.
He placed a call across to Lanre and explained what his so called girlfriend planned doing.
Lanre couldn’t thank the man enough. They ended the call.
Lanre made up his mind not to return to his apartment that night.
As at 10pm, Sade was still outside, expecting Lanre to return from his girlfriend’s place.
11pm, no sign of someone coming home because everywhere became dry and quiet.
Who knows whether he has been kidnapped? I pray he is kidnapped so that, that useless lady will not marry him. In this life, it is either I marry him or no one else marrys him.”She said as she walked into the room.
She tried his line, it was not going through. She concluded that he might have been kidnapped.
She slept peacefully, hoping to hear about the disappearance of a man called “Lanre ” who had been kidnapped by kidnappers, the following morning.
****
The following morning came too fast. Sade hurried up with the home chores and went straight to Clara’s house.
She met Clara outside, picking beans. The moment their eyes became four, Sade pounced on her and gave her the bearings of her life.
Her cry woke Lanre up. At the spur of the moment, he dashed out with the speed of light.
He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Sade.
Sade was almost squeezing life out of Clara with full force.
Just a heavy blow from Lanre to her head, she fell. She wanted to rise up and continue fighting, but the strength wasn’t there.
Lanre went over to where she was and gave her the beatings of her life. She was beaten black and blue.
Lanre went to where Clara was and asked if she was fine.
“I’m fine, thanks. And who is this useless girl?” Clara asked.
“She is just….” Lanre couldn’t finish what he was trying to say when Sade cut in.
“I am his girlfriend. In fact, I have aborted more than five times for him. I am his girlfriend!!!!Leave my boyfriend alone husband snatcher.” Sade said as she clapped her hands, shouting at the top of her voice.
“Baby, say something. Who is this girl?” Clara asked.
Lanre took his time to explain everything to her. Sade was uncomfortable. She tried stopping him, but couldn’t stop him. She only shouted, telling Clara not to believe him.
“Sade, leave this place now or else you will smell hell fire today.” Lanre commanded.
“Let me smell the hell fire. Let me see what you this useless thing want to do. You are not even ashamed of yourself. You’re settling down for a woman who isn’t beautiful at all. Is it this ugly thing you call girlfriend?” She asked sarcastically, pointing her hands at Clara.
“Leave now, else I will kill you right away.” He shouted impatiently.
“I am not leaving this place. Do your worst useless man.” She shouted, while she tried sitting her buttock on a seat.
“Wait Lanre, is this not the same sister of Aduragbemi?”Clara asked.
“Yes she is.” Lanre replied.
“Oh!! Lanre, this lady is a devil. She snatched husband from people. Look at the way she snatched her sister’s husband. I heard she cooked up lies to implicate her sister. I hope she is not here to snatch my man.” Clara said.
“You called me husband snatcher? May God punish your mouth. Am I the husband snatcher or you?” Sade said,
“You are the husband snatcher. I wish I have a better adjective to qualify how foolish you are. If you think you can snatch this man from me, then you must be out of your mind.” Clara said.
“You called me someone that is out of her mind, you are in for trouble.” Sade said as she rushed to where Clara was.
Just another blow from Lanre to the back of her head, she cried in pains. She let go of Clara.
The two of them left Sade and went about their daily activities.
Out of shame, she walked away and went straight to her room. It was as if the ground should open its mouth and swallow her up. The shame wasn’t something she bargained for.
Lanre and Clara later came to Lanre’s house.
“It is over between us. Meet my girlfriend, Clara officially.” Lanre said.
Clara on the other hand was blushing at his introduction. She stretched forth her hand to sake Sade’s hand, but Sade threw her hands away.
“Sade, pack your things and leave my house.” Lanre said.
“It is this useless and ugly thing that will leave this house, not me.” She replied, pointing at Clara.
After arguing over and over, he drove Sade out of his house with her loads.
Sade was helpless. She had no where to go. She just felt like killing herself because life became useless to her.
Suicide was whispering audibly into her ears. She wanted to, but refrained herself.
She remembered her sister….
****
“Can we be friends, Sister Aduragbemi?” Bro Timothy asked….
To be continued.
Can you accept Sade back to your room assuming you were Aduragbemi?
