MARRIED TO HIS MOTHER.
CHAPTER FOUR.
After the night incident, Kemisola was no longer herself, she was feeling weak and could not do most of the house chores. She complained to Olamilekan about the weakness but he was just too nonchalant about it.
“Dear, my body is doing somehow and I don’t seem to understand it. You see ever since that dream, I have been feeling weak, ehn” Kemisola said to him.
“See woman, leave me alone o, I said it is when you put your mind in things like that it is then you will be having all these negative thoughts, if you know that you are sick, call the family doctor to come and check you up.” He said to her.
“But dear, this case looks spiritual o, you know that ever since mama had sworn to make me regret my actions that is when I started having all these nightmares” Kemisola replied him looking at his eye.
“Eh, eh, see don’t over spiritualise everything ehn, and this one that you are now accusing my mother of being possessed, I can’t take that from you” Olamilekan said to her with his face becoming annoyed.
“Am not saying that she is the one behind the dream but you know what she said means a lot and only a dunce would not read meaning to her words” She replied.
“You have to watch your tongue this morning, ahh ahn, don’t take my meekness for stupidity dear, please just take my mother out of this issues, you know that since she left this house, I am still unable to talk to her nor reach her, she is not even picking her calls, so please be careful” He shouted at her which was very usual of him.
“I know that one day the veil of darkness covering your eyes would be removed, I don’t know what kind of man you are becoming these days, I don’t know when last we prayed together, you no longer ask us to pray, you just wake up from the bed and the next thing is reading of newspaper, no more quiet time in this house again, ehn, and we called ourselves Christians, what kind of one are we becoming , ehn,” Kemisola rants on her husband but he did not bother as he was busy pressing his phone ignoring her as if no one was talking.
When Kemisola noticed that she was not getting the necessary replies she needed, she knew she had said more than her mouth, so she went beside Olamilekan and tried to touch his cheeks.
“Dear, you know I don’t mean to say all those words to you nor accuse mama of being possessed but you know that am the one feeling the heat and as the woman in this house I can’t allow my marriage to ruin, same goes to you as the head of the family, please try and understand me better, my body is behaving somehow that is why am concerned.” Kemisola said to him sitting beside him and playing with his uncovered chest.
“You are the one that is making the issue to drag longer, I already told you that it is not every thing we should be attaching meanings to since you said your body is doing somehow, I said you should call the family doctor so that he can attend to you.” He replied her smiling and kissing her forehead while Kemisola forced herself to smile.
Later that day, Kemisola could not focus on what she was doing as her mind was always going to the dream she had. As she was cutting her nails her phone rang and it Clara.
“Hello baby girl, what’s up” Clara greeted her.
“Am fine and not fine jhor” She replied.
“What do you mean by fine and not fine, what is wrong, tell me now” Clara asked her
“You see, since my mother-in-Law has left our house, I have been having different kinds of nightmares” Kemisola said
” Really, tell me the dream babe” Clara asked her smiling to herself.
“A figure came to remove my womb” She narrated the dream to her.
“That small dream, don’t worry yourself although it is a bad dream but I will help you out” Clara said to her which made Kemisola to be happy
“That’s why I love you girl, I trust you” Kemisola praised her
“Okay, I have one powerful baba, he lives at the outskirt of Ogun State, he is not an herbalist o but he performs cleansing rituals and his work is perfect” Clara said to her friend.
“What!!!, you know am not always a party to going to all this festish people, not an Herbalist but performs ritual, do you know what that means, my spirit is not conform with that and it is against my Christian doctrine dear” Kemisola said to her friend in surprised.
“There you go again, so am the one that is bad right, you better act up and be smart” Clara screamed at her.
“Have I ever do anything or teach you things that would hurt you. Your mother-in-Law is possessed so she is trying everything to make sure that you suffer in your marriage so it is better you act fast now” She added.
“Hmm, but my husband would not approve of this and what would I tell my God that am doing in that place” Kemisola said to her.
“We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But he is merciful and just to forgive us all our sins once we repent and go back to him.” Clara tried to brainwash her with the bible words.
” But the same bible says flee from every appearance of ev!l” Kemisola protested.
“Our righteousness is like a filthy rag before God and if anyone think she is righteous have committed a sin” Clara added to her words to make Kemisola dance to her tune.
“You know that Abraham was favoured because of his righteousness” Kemisola protested.
“Are you now Abraham, abeg if you no do, talk after all, I am the one that will go on your behalf” Clara said to her.
“Really, if you say so, then go on my behalf but am not part of it o, just like Pilate washed his hands of Jesus death, am not part of this o. My hands are clean” Kemisola said to her.
“Shiooor, yeye dey smell, na two of us dey the game,” Clara laughed hard.
“So she no even get liver, all her bible recitation is just a show off. Her own Christianity is not even strong. This girl too mumu but that is her own problem, I must act fast but wait o, that dream is dangerous o, if care is not taken she might not be able to give birth again o, removing of womb…ahhhh” Clara said to herself.
************************
Clara had gone to the herbalist on behalf of Kemisola and she was given a powder that she should apply in Olamilekan’s soup that he was the one they wanted to fight not Kemisola.
Clara went to Kemisola’ s house planning to spend like a week with her, she told her about it and she approved of it without consulting her husband about it asking for his opinion.
“After all, she is my friend and he knows her before so there is no harm since she is coming to render help to me” Kemisola said to herself.
Clara came to their house but Olamilekan was not around then so when he came back he met her and exchanged greetings with Clara. He noticed her dressing and was a bit uncomfortable with it. She wore a bum short exposing some of her thights and some revealing tops.
“Ehn, (coughs)Please where is my wife” he asked her.
“She is in the room looking for her phone” She replied and sat down to reveal her cleavages for him to see.
Olamilekan took away his eye immediately and went inside to search for his wife.
“What is she doing here” he asked Kemisola.
“Who” she asked.
“Your visitor, what is she doing here”He said to her.
” try and be calming down, are you annoyed by her presence or you don’t want her in your house” She said to him
“Dear, why are you behaving like this, you are allowing your female friends that are not married into your own house ehn,” he replied.
“What is the problem with that” she asked him and continue packing her clothes.
“It is bad madam, even if she must come, see what she is wearing, I am seeing all her thights and cleavages outside” He said to her.
“Oh, I see, she is wearing what she feels comfortable in” she replied him and touched his cheeks.
“My love, please don’t use your hand to invite the devil into your house, let the devil stay in his place. That friend of yours is not a child of God, what business is the light with darkness. You know I knew Clara very well before I met you, she introduced you to me. Right” he said to her.
“Yes and so what” she asked him putting her hands on his chest and helping him remove his shirt.
“Leave my shirt for now, I will do that later, let’s talk this out first” he said to her removing her hands from his chest.
“You see, Clara was dating me before I met you maybe she did not tell you but I will today, I had planned to spend my life with her but she is just too promiscuous and I can’t handle that which was why I gave her space. It was during that break, I saw your picture on her wall and asked about you from her and from there we interacted. Do you think she will be happy that you snatched me away from her.huh, please reason with me, am not saying you should chase her away but am fearing for myself and for this family.” Olamilekan explained to her.
“Are you saying you are weak, the Lord will help your weakness, I bind the spirit of lust in you” She said jokingly.
“Dear, should I say you are being childish or what, am a man and we are always moved by what we see, if I even resist temptation but for how long. Her being here will only complicate the matter o, you know that when we reunite again it might spark up the relationship between I and Clara again and you are not always at home but no problem I pray God help me” He said and sat on the bed.
“Get change and take your bath, you need to rest but as for Clara I will deal with that” she said as she kissed his lips.
“I am not ready for anything now jare, leave me, I need to eat first am hungry”He said to her as she brushed her aside.
” Clara had helped me in cooking your food when I went to attend to some things in the shop.”Kemisola said to him.
“WHAT!!!, Kemisola, are you Okay” that was the first time he called her full name.
Clara heard the noise and was curious about what could have caused the noise.
“You mean she cooked the food I will eat, ahh, thank God you talked, I will not eat that food, I rather remain hungry, mama was right after all. ” He said to her.
“But when your mother was cooking your food, you were eating it right” she replied him with her voice shaking as If she was suffering from shock
Olamilekan noticed that he hurt her by saying those harsh words to her so he had to calm the tension
“My dear, I don’t mean to shout at you but it is not polite, mama is my mother but Clara is not my mother and you are my wife” Olamilekan said to her holding her very tight to himself.
“But, you shouted at me” she said sobbing.
“Am sorry, please, I was just annoyed” he replied.
“So you would have smack me” she asked.
“Never, I will not raise my hand on you, you are my queen and a king does not beat a Queen, you are like a mother to me also, please forgive me” he went on his kneel and held unto her.
Clara heard all that was happening in the room as she was eavesdropping all their conversation. She quickly tiptoe to the sitting room when she noticed that Lekan was about opening the door.
“Weldone, hope you are enjoying the T.V program” Olamilekan greeted Clara smiling as if nothing happened.
“Yes, thanks, Clara said as if she was not aware of what was going on.
” so how many days are you staying here” he asked.
“Just two weeks” Clara said not looking at him
“Ehn, okay, but what about your business” he asked.
“My assistant would be doing that on my behalf, my friend complains that she is weak and needs my help now” She said smiling
“Ehmm, I thought you will….” He was cut short when his phone rang and he went out to receive his call.
“You, when am done dealing with you, you will beg for tears you will not find.” Clara said to herself pointing at Lekan who was backing her.
