Minutes later she went down and met her mother in law, “mommy good morning, Princess greeted but she nodded with her head face down.
“Mommy she’s greeting” Desmond said to her but Princess went closer and sat beside her.
“Mommy you don’t have to feel bad for anything,I wasn’t angry with you either. Our joy is now complete and I think everyone should be happy”, Princess said with her hand crossed on her shoulder smiling which she looked at her.
“No its okay mommy, thanks for the meal, it looks very delicious”, Princess said laughing.
“Oh common let’s eat, she said taking Princess to the dinning.
The pastor visited and was happy to see Princess in such joyful mood with Everyone.
“You made us scared yesterday, he said.
“Daddy I’m so sorry, I was just sober, sober that I doubted God and didn’t believe wholly on him. When I saw the test, I didn’t know what to do but cry, God should have mercy on me”, Princess replied.
“So indeed in your unbelief God still visited, remember you told me that” Veronica said.
“Yes he did, and I’m so grateful, Princess said.
“OK I think its time to break the news now officially, Miracle will be going to church” Veronica dropped and Princess screamed happily.
“Awwnn that good news, we will all be there for our baby”, Desmond said.
…………
Lying on the floor crying her eyes out, Debbie phone began to ring. Seeing it was Prisca calling she cleaned her eyes and tried putting herself together, “yes dear good morning, Debbie picked up.
“Good morning, I called to know why the latest couple didn’t go to church” Prisca said and Debbie laughed.
“We wanted to but you see the night was so busy and ermmm…. You should understand”, Debbie said and Prisca smiled at that.
“Its alright then, Prisca said.
“I think I’ll see you later today, since i really don’t know when I will be travelling”, Debbie said.
“Thats no problem, bye, Prisca said and dropped the call.
Debbie heaved and got up from the floor dialling her husband number but he wasn’t picking up then she dialed her mom number.
“Deborah how are you? Sandra asked.
“If I didn’t call you wouldn’t have asked ba? Wait o are you on the road?” Debbie asked.
“Yes na, what should i do there?” Sandra asked.
“You mean you are going back to the village? Haba mommy I just got married yesterday and you’re already leaving the next day without even seeing me”, Debbie said.
“Ahh you have married na so what remain again? Abi you want orientation on how to live in your husband house? Am I married? Didn’t you said I don’t know anything about marriage? So my dear I am going back to the village o, enjoy your married life”, Sandra said.
“Hey God, so the hotel I booked for you at least for a week you’ve gone now wasting my money huh?” Debbie asked.
“Deborah I cannot die in cold with all the grass they have been feeding me with. What should I do there for a week sef?” Sandra asked.
“At least to see me off at the airport na haba its not fair! Why are you not always happy for me” Debbie shouted.
“See eh, I have done my own part as a mother or if I don’t follow you to the airport will the visa expire?” Sandra asked and Debbie saw Gideon car drove in.
“You’re so annoying bye, Debbie said and dropped the call going outside to meet him.
Gideon came out from the car on call and passed Debbie which she couldn’t say anything to him but watched him go in which she did too.
“Any food? He asked after dropping the call.
“Food? Did you ask me to prepare food or did you tell me what you’ll love to eat?” Debbie asked and Gideon smiled.
“When you were doing good girlfriend here, when have you ever asked me what i want to eat?” He asked.
“That’s because you were a good and loving boyfriend too. What has come over you?” Debbie asked.
“Look here young lady, if you are not comfortable with the new me now, you can take your leave”, Gideon said and suddenly made another call.
“What are you trying to say now”! Debbie shouted but he left the house again immediately.
Debbie couldn’t take it anymore, she dressed up and thought of reporting him to his parents but she decided not to,She went to Prisca instead.
Prisca heard the “congratulations” going outside and saw it was Debbie, “you really look good, Cynthia said.
“Thank you, Debbie replied.
“I know you’ll be leaving soon for your honey moon, awwwn Dubai will look so good on you’ Another said but Debbie only smiled.
“Thanks for your presence there, I really appreciate. Is Prisca in?” Debbie asked.
“Yes i think so, they replied.
“Alright bye and thanks again”, Debbie said and left while Prisca opened the door.
“Are you here to pick your remaining bags?” prisca asked as she walked in.
“Are you driving me already? Ah abeg o”, Debbie said sitting down while Prisca looked at her.
“Were you crying? Don’t tell me the night was that rough” Prisca said and Debbie heaved.
“Saying it was rough is an understatement” She replied.
“Oh my God! You are making me scared now, please stop that”, Prisca said and Debbie suddenly lost the guts to say what she came for.
“Not that way but it was instead fun, you need to be there soon you know”, Debbie said.
“Yea yea i know i will at God time, so gist me, how is life after wedding?” Prisca asked and Debbie rolled her eyes.
“I’m just few hours in it nau Prisca”, Debbie replied.
“Actually its a day now and I know you’ll have something to tell me. So I’m all ears”, Prisca insisted.
“OK what can i say now….. The feeling after wedding is just so good, i mean the happiness, the oneness and everything is just so perfect”, Debbie said and Prisca nodded.
“That sounds sweet, congratulations once again at least you won’t waka waka again” Prisca said and Debbie burst out laughing.
……………
She left Prisca place disappointedly, she can’t share her feelings, she left rather to a drinking parlor and made herself company with alcohols.
In the evening she strolled back home and met Gideon wait in for her with a stern look while she walked in drunk.
“Where are you coming back from?” He asked.
“What do you care? Debbie replied but got a slap from Gideon.
“When next I ask a question, you’ll give me the right answer! Now where are you coming back from”! Gideon shouted on her.
“Did you just slap me? Gideon did you just slap me”! Debbie shouted holding her cheek.
“And I’ll do it again and again! What will you say that you left the house without cooking and returned drunk, what kind of a slut are you” Gideon shouted back.
“Now you are the slut here. Where were you on the night of our wedding and where have you been all day?” She asked.
“How is that your business? I am the man of this house and I married you, its not your place to question me or do whatever you like. I need my food prepared this minute” Gideon said and stormed inside while tears rushed out of Debbie eyes.
“Seriously, did I really sign for this too? Its Just 1 day Debbie, just one day” she said to herself and left to the kitchen.
………….
The next day Debbie woke up on the sofa and saw Gideon already dressed up,
“don’t tell me you’re going to work? I thought you’re on leave”, she said.
“Excuse me? Leave for what?” He asked.
“A break of course for us, what about our honey moon?” She asked and he burst out laughing.
“Honey what? I have no time for that sh*t” he replied dressing his tie.
“Wait a minute, you don’t have time for what? You promised a honey moon remember’ She shouted and he looked at her sternly.
“What is your problem Deborah? You are married and thats all I can do for you. I know you are only concerned about rich men and all this honey moon sh*t, take a flight and go there if you want. I am adding no dime in it okay”, Gideon said.
“Wait wait wait, why are you treating me this way? It is expected we should go somewhere at least. I already told my friends you promised to take me to Dubai that’s why we have a simple wedding and they are looking forward to see me there any time soon. Okay even if we can’t go there, can we just leave this place for a while please” She said holding him with pleading eyes.
“Dear Deborah, I have a lot to do here and I can’t leave. I once told you I don’t care about your friends, don’t bother mentioning them to me so deal with your talkative and boastful mouth okay” Gideon said and left.
“No no no its becoming more crazy now, who is this guy and why is he bent on destroying my life?” Debbie thought as she paced around angrily and stormed to the room.
……….
That afternoon she traced Gideon office and he was so surprised to see her, “what are you doing here?” He asked.
“To give you lunch, you didn’t eat before leaving remember”, she said keeping a flask on his table while he just looked at her saying nothing.
“Why this look am I not welcome?” She asked and saw a bottle of wine with 2 glasses on the table, “oh a guest was here right? Thats no problem then after all I’m your wife”, she said.
“My friend look here, this is not my house but an office and you have to respect that. Fine I’ve seen the food, can you leave now?” He asked and she scoffed.
“Leave? That quick?” She asked.
“How did you know where i work? Who told you this?” He asked.
“You’re unbelievable Gideon, so I have no right to know where you work right?” She asked.
“Fine can you leave now? I need to concentrate”, he said.
“Well not yet after all you were suppose to be with me. I see a lot of people here, little wonder you invited none why? Do they even know I’m your wife?” She asked.
“Now can you take your leave? What’s the meaning of this” Gideon shouted getting on his feet and the door opened.
“Oh sorry I’ll come back later then” Kemi said and left immediately.
“Who is she?” Debbie asked but Gideon held her hand dragging her to the door.
“Don’t get me angry, just leave now and stop invading in my privacy, now bye, he said opening the door for her and she slowly walked out not believing her ears.
Debbie sighted Kemi going and ran to her stopping her, “hey! She shouted at her.
“Who? Kemi stopped.
“Yes you, why did you just barge into my husband office and who are you?” Debbie asked and Kemi rolled her eyes.
“Is your husband aware you’re asking me this?” Kemi asked.
“Just answer my question in simple word, who are you?” Debbie asked.
“I beg your pardon, this is an establishment and its believed almost everyone you see here works here and should be connected and familiar with each other. Now if your question is answered, Excuse me” Kemi said and walked away while Debbie just looked with her heart beating fast.
“Gideon is cheating on me I know that, but I have to find out who he’s doing it with. Gosh Debbie I can’t believe you’re in this mess” She said to herself touching her forehead.
…………
Debbie was still around to cure her curiosity when she saw Gideon held hand with Kemi to his car, he opened the door for her happily and drove off while Debbie looked mouth opened.
“Oh my God I was so right, that’s the b***h! Debbie shouted.
………..
“Guess what, Kemi said while he was driving.
“Baby what’s it? He asked.
“Your….. Should I say wife approached me asking who I was to you” Kemi replied.
“She did what? Oh I will so deal with her”, Gideon said fuming up.
“Calm down okay, for how long will you keep up with this? I guess she’s suspecting something is wrong”, Kemi said.
“Then that’s good news because I want her to do that quick. Gosh the nerve of that girl” Gideon said biting his lips.
“Its alright, she look stunning, Kemi said winking at him.
“Stunning for who? Oh please she can’t even compare when it comes to you. I hope she didn’t say anything bad to you?” He asked.
“Nah not at all, she replied.
…………..
Debbie arrived home Pacing around angrily trying to control her tears.
“But why? Why should it be the only man I’ve ever loved? Why you Gideon, don’t you know you’re hurting me?” Debbie cried and fell on the couch.
She didn’t know when she slept off but felt water dripping on her body and she woke up to see Gideon with a glass of water staring at her.
“Is that the only polite way you know to wake your wife up?” She asked and he scoffed.
“You put up quite a drama over there, that should be the first and last woman”! He shouted and wanted to leave.
“Who is that lady? The one who barged into your office and the one you held hand so happily with to your car”, Debbie asked and he stopped but burst out laughing surprising Debbie.
“So you stayed behind to monitor me? Oh you’re so boring and you deserve the position to be the gateman there so you’ll do your job perfectly” Gideon said and left for his room..
“You haven’t answered my question! Debbie shouted folding her fist.
“Gideon, Gideon I won’t accept this, isn’t it too early to start cheating on me? And why should you cheat on me, am i not attractive enough?” Debbie shouted following him behind.
“Will you just leave me alone! And who cares about your insecurities or haven’t you snatched a husband before? Hope you are now feeling the heat” Gideon dropped and her eyes bulged out.
“What did you just say? She asked.
“Just get out, Gideon said and wanted to go.
“Who told you that? She insisted but he only gave her a stern look, “let me be, he said and left while Debbie looked scared.
“How did he know about this? Did Prisca told him this because I saw her talking to him on the day of our wedding. She must have told him this that’s why he suddenly changed his attitude towards me”, Debbie said in her heart as she stood swelling in anger for Prisca
