NO I DON’T ON CHEAT YOU 😭
Episode 10
Life continues and we kept living it one day at a time. For almost three weeks, I didn’t hear anything from John just for me to see a neighbor’s son bring him to the shed where I sell my wares one evening.
At first, I didn’t see them coming. Jerry’s scream was what attracted me to the direction they came through.
‘How are you son?’ I asked Jerry
‘Fine mommy and you?’
‘Fine too’
I gave John and Jerry a seat while I hurriedly pack my wares since it was getting dark. John offered to help me but I told him not to worry. Done with packing, we trekked to my house which was just thirty minutes’ walk from where I sell.
Getting to the house, I invited them in and quickly heat up the rice which I prepared in the morning and serve the children with it. While the children were busy with the food, John requested to speak with me outside. I took him to the backyard in order to avoid our conversation being eavesdropped.
‘How are you?’ John began
‘As you can see, I am doing great’
‘Can I carry her?’ He requested but immediately Joy saw that he wants to carry her, she held on to me
‘No, you can’t. She isn’t yours or Is she? I asked surprising him
‘She looks so much like Jerry so it’s obvious she is mine’
‘You are sick upstairs. So you think you can humiliate me in public then come secretly to beg me abi? You lie, I actually thought you are a matured man, I never knew you are a mommy’s puppet. Look here Mr. I only allowed you into my house because of my son, don’t feel that I still want anything to do with you’ I replied with rage written all over me
‘Jane???’
‘If you call my name again, I will plaster your face with a slap. Jeddy is right, you never loved us. I regret ever having anything to do with you weakling, the only thing he knows how to do is to impregnate a woman and reject the pregnancy. Only God knows what he did to his ex-girlfriend that made her abscond with his best friend’ I raged on
I saw him break down in tears but I wasn’t moved by his tears. After being forcefully married to him, I live all my life to please him. I bore him children and also care for both him and the children but all he could reward me with is throwing me out of the house when there was crisis forgetting that he was the one who forcefully broke my hymen.
For the eight years I lived with him, he never stops comparing me to his ex-girlfriend whenever we have misunderstood and when I try to defend myself, he would always remind me of the twelve years gap between us.
After Jerry and Jeddy celebrated their second birthday, I actually pleaded with him to send me back to school since I was just twenty years old and was still interested in bringing my dream to reality. He told me to give him time to think about it and after thinking about it, he refused to send me to school with the thought that I would grow wings after schooling.
I pleaded and pleaded with him that nothing of such would happen. I even went as far as writing undertaking but he remained obstinate. After all the ill-treatment, he now comes secretly to make me come back to him.
