– MARRIED TO HIS MOTHER.
CHAPTER ONE .
In a very large apartment well furnished and arranged with a background sound, three ladies could be seen discussing and laughing out loud. They were so engrossed in their talk as they munched popcorns as they were gisting.
“Babe, you see, I can’t wait for the day of my wedding o, I have been having dreams about it already, let me say am even married” Kemisola said to her friends.
“Hmm, bride to be, that’s how it looks like until you finally gets into his house before you know that marriage is not a bed of roses” Clara said to her as she took a mouthful of the popcorn and muched it.
“But my own can never be like that, you see, Olamilekan is a nice guy, he is my heart desire, the perfect match for me, do you know how many days I used on mountain praying for his type of man. Now, that God has helped me find him, nothing of such can happen in my marriage.” Kemisola replied her while she sip her wine.
“You never can tell, you know men of nowadays, they behave like things would be alright but that was before you said Yes, but after you enter their home, they now unleash the beast inside of them” Kate supported Clara.
“Not my own Olamilekan, I have studied him a lot, he is God fearing and I know he would not do anything to hurt me. For you to know, he bought me the latest designer bag when he came back from Paris last week, he showered me with love and care, is it attention, he is the best, you can’t just imagine how he treats me like a baby” Kemisola said to her friends who had stopped eating and eyeing her.
“Yeye dey smell, is that not how Folorunsho treated me before I got into his house, now see what he did to me, he beats me and finally sent me packing from the house” Clara said to her friends while she displayed a sad look.
“Ehn, so are you now comparing my own Olamilekan with your own Folorunsho, lest I forgot, have you forgotten that both of you saw yourself in a night party and both of you were drunk, one thing led to another and you were pregnant, so he had to marry you to cover the shame because he was an Usher in his church” Kemisola reminded Clara who was surprised at what she revealed.
“But if you know that that’s the reason you called me into your house is to mock me, you should have told me earlier”Clara said to her in annoyance.
” Babe, she does not mean to insult you, how can she, I think she was only trying to prove a point that her husband to be would be better than yours and I think it is everyone’s prayer” Kate tried to calm the atmosphere so as to prevent the two from conflicting.
“Oh, I see, so she is the one that should be reminding me where I met Folorunsho, if not for the fact that he turned out to be another thing, will you be saying this trash to me. Anyways, it is not your fault, it is because I can’t stay in my house that is why am here hearing the history of my life” Clara said and stood up trying to carry her bag.
“Where are you now going to, we are friends and had been doing things in common, why is it now that we would be fighting each other, hun. Babes, I think you should be calming down o because you might end up destroying this friendship of ours” Kate stood up and tries to hold Clara from going while Kemisola was looking at her less concerned.
“Ask her to apologise before I can sit down here” Clara said still annoyed.
“For what reasons should I apologise to her, we were only arguing on whose spouse was the best and she took it to her head like a mad woman, am I the one that asked her husband to send her away from his house, abeg if she can not stay here, please that is the door, let her make use of it” Kemisola pointed at the door.
“You see her now, she is not ready to apologise, you are such an ingrate, you know that this same Olamilekan you are now using to shame me, I was the one that introduced you to him. Do you think he would look at you twice if I had not talk to him about you, do you think if I want to destroy your relationship, I can’t do that, do you know that all your dirty secrets while we were in the university is still with me and it does not take me anything to reveal all, you this prostitute turned Christian, Serious after Useless. If only Olamilekan could know what he is buying do you think he will allow you into his life.”
As Clara was talking, Kate and Kemisola were starring at her in surprise.
“You this public toilet, every guy that comes your way would have his own share and later dump you, do you know why, the reason is because you are no longer useful. When they finished tasting you ehn, of what use is buying an icecream when you already lick the best part of it…You thought you are the only one that can tell story, hun” Clara shouted at them and dashed out of the room.
After she had left, Kate stylishly carried her bag and bade Kemisola who was almost sobbing good bye.
“I think I have a place to go from here, sorry babe, I would not be able to stay for long, enjoy your time. Don’t take Clara’s word to heart o, that’s how she does you know now, I will call her to apologise also, take care.” Kate said those words and moved out leaving only Kemisola in her apartment sobbing.
“So Clara could say those words to me, ahhh, if not that I revealed my past to her, that foolish girl, how can she open her mouth and be saying jargons. I know what to do” she started weeping and poured the popcorn away with her legs.
*****************
“That girl, she is now using my failure in marriage to disgrace me, it is not her fault, I caused it. Had it been I sat down in my house, can she be insulting me, anyways I gave her the best insult of life and I know she will understand that I have her secrets in my hands and could destroy her so called marriage” Clara soliloquies biting her nails and moving about in her room.
“Ahh, this girl hurts me a lot and I must show her the hard part of me. Did she think she will enjoy that marriage, never, I will make her pass through fire. I will show her that I be confirm Edo girl…that her head wey no correct will reset by the time I finish dealing with her.” Clara swore and banged her hand on her bed, holding her head and wept.
*************
Some weeks later, Kemisola and her Olamilekan visited his mother in the city of Lagos. She welcomed them as she was happy to see them. They had come to plan their marriage and formal introduction of Kemisola to her.
” So, my wife you will be marrying my son, I am in full support of it and I pray you both would last together by the grace of God.” Iya Labake prayed for them. Folorunsho mother’s was always called by the name of her second child, Labake which makes every one in the environment decided to call her that.
“Amen mama” Kemisola said kneeling down.
” But my wife, you see since Olamilekan was a small boy, like when he started s*****g from this two old b****t of mine, he has never done anything outside my wish o and I have been telling him that any lady he wants to marry he should let her know that she is marrying both of us. That is, you will marry me and my son or are you among the ladies that does not like to have mother-in-Law, like praying for your mother -in-law to have died before you meet the man, hun” iya Labake asked Kemisola looking at her face.
“Ah, No, ma. I pray you will live long for us o, I too want to enjoy the fruit of my labours now, so why will I be praying for you to die ma, never, you will eat the fruits of your labour mama” Kemisola said kneeling down again.
“Oshey, Omo daadaa (good child) you have become his wife, I give you my full support and since you have agreed to abide by my words. You see this Olamilekan here, he is like my baby o, I still dictates for him and tell him what to do, you see the bag he bought for you while coming, he asked me if he should buy it for you and I said he should go ahead and buy. So you can see that he does nothing without my approval” Iya Labake said to her while Olamilekan was smiling like someone who had inhaled a laughing gas.
Kemisola squeezed her face a bit when she heard what her mother-in-Law said to her but she had to pretend as if all is well.
“I can’t afford to lose this one again o, after the several break up from different relationship, I will clinch to this one o, he is super rich so there is nothing I want that he would not give to me. With time his mother will change and when we relocate, she will not be able to control Olamilekan again as I would have him to myself alone.” Kemisola Soliloquy to herself and forced a smile.
They ate the food prepare by Iya Labake and she packaged some food into the cooler for the both of them.
“Ahh, mummy ema wori (don’t worry), I have already prepared food that we would eat at home.” Kemisola said to her.
“No, Olamilekan can not do without my food o, ahh..I specially made the food for him o, he loved to eat Amala and Ewedu , so you have to take it along with you”. Iya Labake said to her and kemisola had to accept the food.
******************
After some months, the wedding date was fixed and all went well, Clara and Kate were among the bridal train even though Clara still harbour bad feelings towards Kemisola she had to pretend as if all was fine. She was the one that did most of the work on the wedding day that those present were praising her for all she was doing while Kemisola was busy enjoying herself with her husband. After the wedding the couples retired into their room but followed by the mother -in- law who said she wanted to spend some time.before she return back to her house.
Although, Kemisola was not happy with it but she would not allow anything to ruin her day as she has long dream to see the day she would be called a married woman.
The night of the wedding, Olamilekan and Kemisola were about having their marital rights with both of them n@ked, staring at one another.
Kemisola in her head has been thinking of how to satisfy her husband by applying all the bedroom skills she had learnt. She was waiting for him to take the first step when they heard a knock on the door.
In shock the two quickly tried to dress but the voice told them not to bother covering themselves that they should just let her in.
” But mama, what are you looking for in our room”Kemisola protested.
” I want to watch you two having sexx in my face, that is how it should be done” Iya Labake said to her with a stern face.
“Ahh, mama, you can’t watch us while I and my husband are making love, who does that” Kemisola said to her mother-in-law.
“You better shut up, I told you earlier that you are married to myself and my son. I am the first wife and you are the second wife, get that to your skull” Iya labake said to her.
“Emmm, yes, I think you should let us obey mother, am sorry dear, I can’t help the situation” Olamilekan said to Kemisola who was looking at him in surprise.
“God forbid, abomination!!!” Kemisola shouted and stormed out of the room with only her undies.
“My son, leave her, she will come to understand later, come and join me on the bed, am missing you a lot” Iya Labake said to her son who also moved to her mother side and slept beside her.
Kemisola thought Olamilekan would come running after her and begging but she was wrong, after waiting for some minutes she went back into the room only to find Iya Labake on her matrimonial bed.
“Ahh, mama kile leyi (what is this) ” she shouted while she looked on in shock..
Iya Labake hissed and walked away from the room leaving the two of them.
“Ahh, Ahh, this is an abomination!!!” Kemisola shouted.
