GOT MARRIED AS A VIRGIN š
(EPISODE 4)
Very early one Saturday morning after observing our morning prayer
Good morning my love, Tee Jan said and I replied good morning sweetie, he hugged me as usual and was about heading to the kitchen, when I stopped him.
Sweetie, go and rest today I will cook for us, I said grinningš.
Are you surprised I said he was heading to the kitchen? Please donāt be, ever since I married Tee Jan, he has been the one doing the cooking on Saturdaysš.
Even though I had tried to stop him countless times, but he has refused to stop.
My love, you have been the one doing the cooking from Monday till Friday, while I go to work. Let me do the cooking for you during the weekend.
That has always been Tee Janās reply whenever I tried to stop him. So I just have to allow him do it since he insisted.
Please tell me! why wonāt I stop Tee Jan from entering the kitchen? When I have a mission to accomplish.
Tee Jan agreed to go back to bed that very day.
Immediately he got into bed, I quickly went to a nearby pharmacy to get sleeping pills for Tee Jan. Yes! Him, Iām tired, Iām dying, Iām a woman for cry out loudš.
Iām not a log of wood, its blood that is running in my veins not tomatoes .
Love and behold I got the drugs and as I was about to add the stuffs to his tea that morning, something in me kept telling me not to do it. I usually know when my spirit man is communicating with me.
I know itās my inner man that was talking, but I turned a deaf ear to him.
For the very first time, I disobeyed him. And added the sleeping pills into Tee Janās tea.
But guessed what?, As I was about steering the tea, the glass cup containing the tea fell down and broke into piecesš¤š.
The consequences of disobedience!
Didnāt I tell you not to do it? Was what I heard from behind, the voice was so audible and real.
I bursted into tears and said, Iām tired Lord, please have mercy on me, Iām tiredš!
I managed to pack the broken glasses on the floor, then I went straight to meet Tee Jan in the bedroom.
Sweetie! Wake up, I said in tears.
Tee Jan!!! Iām tired, Iām dying, I need you, why are you depriving me of my right?
Tee Jan, Iām dying! Donāt you ever feel the urge to devour the pretty lady you call your love for once? I asked amidst tears.
Am I not beautiful enough?
Tee Jan stood up from the bed and said, Titi my dear wife Iām so sorry. For the very first time in our marriage, Tee Jan addressed me by my name.
Yes! My name is Titi!
Hmmmm mmmm, smiles! Can you now see the reason why I refused to leave Tee Jan!
I know someone is saying that name fits me well!
My love! Iām sooooo sorry, you have really tried for me, he said and bursted into tearsš.
Please forgive me! This was the exact thing I had wanted to tell you that morning, when I came back from the hospital, he said facing the bed.
I guessed he had lost the courage to face me.
Jesus!!! I shouted and he quickly shifted back.
Tee Jan!!! Why didnāt you tell me the exact thing that was on your mind that morning, I said sniffing my nose.
My dear Titi, please Iām very sorry. I wanted to tell you where the main problem was that very day, but I couldnāt just open this mouth of mine to tell you such heartbreaking news. He said amidst tears.
Yeeeeeeee!!! Iām finished! ohhhhhh, ahhhhh hmmmm. Tee Jan, why? Was all I could say that very moment.
Iām sorry love, I understood all of your move all this while, but I cannnnnnnnāt juuuust help it. He said stammering and crying profuselyš.
Okay! Tee Jan, would you please tell me what the exact problem is? I said and bursted into tears.
Would you please tell me the main reason why you have been deprrrriving me oooooof my right?
I finally said and used the back of my hand to clean the uncontrollable tears that were just dropping helplessly on my cheeks.
Tee Jan! Talk to me. Iām your wife, I need an explanation right now.
And finally, Tee Jan opened his mouth and said, please forgive me Titi š. Iām not a real manš±!
I guess you will all be wondering what he meant by that statement?
What do you mean by that? I said with my eyes wide open. Titi my love, I donāt know how best to explain this to you, but the only thing I know is that I canāt make you feel like a real woman.
Wait! Tee Jan, do you mean you are impoooooteeennt or what? I said in a confused state.
Tee Jan was silent for a while and finally said: No my love!
Then what Tee Jan? Talk to me please!
My love! I donnnnnnāt have aaaaaaaaa, a what Tee Jan? I cut in, when he keeps stammering like something I donāt even knowš.
My love! I donāt have what it takes to make you feel like a real woman, he finally said amidst tearsš.
Tee Jan, do you mean you donāt have anything under your trousers?
And he finally said yes my love and burst into tears.
Jesus!!! Iām dead, Iām finished! was what I could managed to say that very day. It seems as if my whole life was crumbling before my eyes.
Hmmmmm, how can I marry a man who canāt make me feel like a real woman? After keeping myself pure till marriage?
Oh! My life! God, do you intend to punish me, by choosing Tee Jan for me as the crown of my headš¤?
I have always served you. I have always listened to you. I have always followed your Instructions.
Why is this happening to me? I said crying out loudššÆ.
So many things were going through my head. I was trying to be strong for myself, not for Tee Jan this time around! But no!!!!!!!
The more I tried to stop the tears trickling down my cheeks, the more it keeps coming.
I was still crying, when I noticed someone holding my two legs from behind.
I donāt know when Tee Jan stood up from the bed and prostrated behind me.
With teary eyes, he said, my love, please donāt leave me! Please donāt leave me nowš!
Please if I donāt leave Tee Jan now, when should I leave himš?
Okay! Maybe when I reach menopause right?
Tee Jan canāt make me feel like a real woman. Then what am I sitting down here for? What will be my gain?
I guess Tee Jan doesnāt know how much I long to be a mother. I guess he doesnāt have an idea of how much I long to be called mummy.
I guess he doesnāt know how much I long to breastfeed a baby and be called mummy so so around the neighborhood.
I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard him say, please Titi š! You are the only one that can help me. If you leave me now, then Iām finished!
My love! You promised never to give up on my love for you, please donāt break that promise now!
Is Tee Jan trying to make a fool out of me or whatš¤? Is he trying to hold me by my words now?
Hmmmmm! I hope you can imagine my life? I was a virgin while single and even now that Iām married, Iām still a virgin!
I was trying to stop the tears that were just tricking down helplessly on my cheeks, but my eyes betrayed me, for I couldnāt.
Amidst tears, I called out to Tee Jan with an angry voice. Yes! Iām angry! For the very first time in my marriage, I was angry at the only person I love with the whole of my life, for keeping such a big secret from me.
Why do you have to keep such a secret away from me Tee Jan? I said stamping my feets on the ground to free his hands from me.
Iām sorry love! I was scared of loosing you, he said tightening his hands around my legs.
I didnāt bargain for this Lord! I said fixing my gaze on the ceiling of our room.
Hmmmmm! I know someone is already giving me a beautiful idea of what I should do to Tee Jan at this stage.
Hmmmmmmmm, would Tee Jan’s greatest fear of loosing me not befall him nowš¤š¤?………..
Tbc….
