MARRIED TO HIS MOTHER.
CHAPTER THREE.
“I don’t know what kind of mother -in-law is this, is this how they treat their own daughter in their husband’s house. She has her own house, she should just leave me and my hubby alone. She is making this house unbearable for me and I might lose it if care is not taken” Kemisola soliloquies as she sat down on the sofa in the sitting room.
She picked one of the newspapers on the table to read through when Iya Labake walked inside the room.
“Where is this girl, since morning, she left this house without thinking about coming back to cook food for myself and my son, You see now,if I start again, they will say am wicked. Where is she now?” She asked facing no one in particular.
Where Kemisola was sitting, she could hear her shouting but she decided to ignore her as she continues reading.
“Ehn, ehn, you are here and I have been shouting your name since for the past ten minutes now but you were counting my voice, right?” Iya Labake screamed at her.
“Mama please, enough is enough, ahn ahn, what is the matter sef, am I the only one that will get married. Don’t you have your own house, since you have gotten here, you have been tormenting my life with all kinds of useless acts and I had been tolerating you because I took you as my mother but now it seems you are passing your boundary” Kemisola shouted at her.
At first, mama was shocked, she did not know that she could be so daring like that but had to control the situation to make it feel as if she was not moved a bit.
“Oh, who gave you liver to challenge me, ohh, you are now growing wings right. You of all people telling me that I have over stepped my boundary…Omode o mogun oun pe lefo (you are being childish) and I will show you why you don’t insult me” Iya Labake said to her in annoyance.
” In the name of Jesus, you can’t do me any harm, if you try it, ehn you will regret it” Kemisola screamed at her throwing down the newspaper in her hand.
“See this lizard claiming to be a lion. I will frustrate you, I told you before you agreed to this marriage, I am the first wife and you are the second wife. Didn’t I” She asked her staring deep into Kemisola’s eye.
“Ehn, you should have married your son then, see I don’t have time for all these useless talk this afternoon, am tired please” Kemisola talked back at her.
“You are mannerless, I will teach you a lesson that you will not forget” Iya Labake swore at her pushed her aside but just as she did that Olamilekan walked in to know the cause of the noise. Immediately, Kemisola saw him, she immediately started crying which drew Olamilekan to herself.
“What have I done that you are crying, hun” Iya Labake asked eyeing her.
“Mama pushed me and I hit myself on the wall” Kemisola said to Olamilekan who was confused.
“Mama, why now, you know she is my wife and like a daughter to you, you should not be treating her this way, I think you should be going back to your house tomorrow” Olamilekan said to his mother who opened her eyes wide in shock.
“You mean you are sending me out of your house because of this thing” Iya Labake pointed at Kemisola.
“Mama, she is my wife and not a thing” Lekan replied her while Kemisola was happy that at least he was on her side.
“Really, Lekan, you are siding her against me, don’t you know that am your mother.” She asked
“Yes, mummy but she is my wife” he replied her hugging Kemisola who was smiling.
“So you think you can ridicule me in the presence of my child right, I will.show you that am not your mate. He sucked my b*****s for more than two years, I carried him in my stomach for nine months, where were you then, I suffered to send him to school and sold some of my properties for him to travel abroad, where were you then, ehn, Kemisola, you just arrive from no where and took position in my son’s house and making a rival out of it, except if he did not pass through me, I will show you hell” Iya Labake swore at the her.
“Mama, you can’t do my wife anything now, or what is really happening self” Olamilekan asked his mother who was wiping some tears that has gathered in her eye.
“Ask your wife, she did not want me to eat the fruit of my labours on you” She replied still sobbing.
“Mama, go to your house, he will be sending whatever he wants to give to you there, am not against you eating the fruit of your labour but don’t come here and disturb me in my own house” Kemisola said to her
“No problem, I will leave but I want you to understand something that you have declared war and you should be ready to face the war. You have destroy the hive of the bee and it is a must that you must be stung. You have beat the drum of war and it is a must you dance” Mama shouted as she was speaking.
“No evils words or incantation against me and my husband would work , we are protected in the blood of Jesus.” Kemisola shouted back at her
“No problem, you have the guts to shout in the day, okay let’s wait and see” Mama vowed and went into her room to pack her bags while Olamilekan was looking like a zombie.
“But why are you two behaving like this, you should try and accommodate mama” He said to his wife.
“I have tried to accommodate her but she is making me feel.as if I am.not doing anything worthwhile” she lamented.
“If it is your own mother, I know you can’t treat her this way right” he asked her
“Stop the joke, my mother can not do that, she is a Christian” she replied not feeling apologetic
Mama packed her belongings and moved out of the house in annoyance, Olamilekan wanted to help her but she refused and pushed him to one side.
“Since you said it is your wife over me, let be at peace, I will give you space but I bet it with you, you will regret your action especially you this useless thing” she said pointing at Kemisola who was eyeing her.
“Is it me you are eyeing, ahh…am doomed, you this small thing, if not for ….okay, I know what I will do” she made the statement and dashed out while Olamilekan followed after her but she warned him to stay clear.
Kemisola stood alone in the sitting room and laughed hard to herself, she could not imagine that she can get rid of her mother-in-Law in such manner.
“So the advise of Clara was good after all, thanks to you girl you are the best” she said to herself and smiled.
**************************
“You don’t mean it, so she has finally packed out of your house” Clara said to Kemisola who was full.of smile.
“Yes o, I gave it to her hot o, she did not believe, you will not believe me that Olamilekan even supported me in sending her out” she added.
You don’t mean it, that’s a new development o” Clara smiled but within her she was bitter.
“I thought Lekan would support his mother against you, ah, you are lucky but I still know what to do, you can’t realise how pained I am, I will.ensure that you lose your marriage also. You don’t still know anything.” Clara thought to herself.
“Babe, hope all is well, you are not talking again” Kemisola asked her.
“Nothing actually, am doing good just thinking of something but am happy for you, at least you will be free now and we too can come and be greeting you in the house” Clara said to her and she was happy about it.
“Yes o, I will be happy to receive you, even Olamilekan always ask about you but I said he will still see you when all is settled and now that all is well, I think you can come and be greeting us” She declared.
“I will not only come and greet alone , I will even spend some days with you guys so that we can gist very well” Clara added and smiled
“Why not, it is your house also, can I sleep in all the rooms in the house, I can’t now, so if you come and greet us and spend some days it is welcome, my house will not be boring” Kemisola replied and laughed.
Clara was happy at her words. She knew the time was almost near for her to fully unleash all she has in her just to ensure that she takes the position of Kemisola.
“So, babe, any gist” Kemisola asked her.
“Not really but do you know that Kate has lost her relationship with Desmond” Clara said to her.
“You don’t mean it, what happened to them” Kemisola asked in disbelief.
” Although, she did not tell me o but I heard that she was not having time for Desmond and he had to leave “Clara said to her.
” You know Kate is after her Career so for her to settle down, it will not be easy for her and she is 35 years now…Maybe when she is 40 she will take men serious “Kemisola added and laughed.
As they were talking Kate knocked on the door and immediately they switched the subject to another thing.
” Babes, I and Desmond have broken up jhor” she said falling on the sofa looking tired.
“Ehyah sorry, what happened and when” Clara asked behaving as if she was concerned.
“Yesterday o, he said he can’t continue anymore, am just tired o, what do you think is wrong with me babe, this is the fourth man o”She asked her friends.
” Nothing is wrong with you my Friend, it is just that the men can’t stand your status and you are wealthier than them”Kemisola lied to her.
“But Desmond is more richer” Kate said.
“See, babe don’t worry jare.” They comforted her but Kate was not keeping it cool, she was not happy at all after she had planned her life with Desmond.
************************
Everywhere was silent as only the voice of the frogs could be heard, later it stopped that If a pin dropped it will make a sound. A figure came through the wall and moved to where Kemisola was sleeping, the figure came near the bed and tapped Kemisola on her leg.
“Stand up” The figure said to her.
“What!!!, who are you?” Kemisola screamed.
“You don’t need to know” the figure replied.
“I bind you in the name of J…..” She could not pronouce it as her body became numb and could not move her body.
“You are a fool, no one can save you now” The figure said to her.
The figure moved nearer to her and dipped its hand into her body and removed her womb. Immediately Kemisola shouted when she saw blood. She woke up from her sleep shouting.
“Give me back my womb, give me back my womb” she screamed from sleep and it woke Olamilekan who was beside her.
“What is the matter” he asked.
“I had a bad dream” she said to him.
“A dream, don’t stress yourself, nothing like dream my dear, it is just your imagination since you watched a vampire movie before sleeping” He consoled.
“But I felt it” she said looking down her tight and her night gown but there was no blood.
“My womb, my womb, I felt it” she whispers.
To be continued.
