Mr Ojo’s Second Wife

Mr. Ojo’s Second Wife

Episode 1

You will not marry a second wife in this house; I have been with you for a long time.
And you must accept that fact, Maria angrily said to her husband.

Just calm down; you know why I am doing this already. I’m getting old already; there is no time for me, Ojo said.

Mama needs grandchildren for God’s sake; apart from that, I also need some that will bear my name.

I know you are getting old; why can’t you wait for God’s timing instead of marrying another woman? It will not work in this house. I am your only wife, and nobody is going to take my place. Maria fired back at her husband.

For Ojo to deliver this kind of news to Maria was something Maria never expected from her husband.

Maria has been married to Mr. Ojo for over ten years now, but she was unable to bear him a child.

That is what is currently causing problems for her and her husband.

A lot of checks have been made in the clinic, and it was confirmed that Maria doesn’t have the potential to bear a child.

Ojo has waited for God’s time for a long time, but he can’t wait any longer.

Marrying a second wife was the last suggestion that came to his mind, and he is ready to do it.

He has been afraid of telling his wife for a long time, but he finally delivered the sad news to her.

Ojo also discussed his plan with his parents, and they happily agreed with his decisions.
Especially as they wanted a grandchild.

Maria was not happy with her husband bringing another wife into the house.

If another woman comes in and gives Ojo a child, that means Maria will have nothing to inherit from her husband’s wealth.

Ojo was a very wealthy man.

and that is her greatest reason why she doesn’t want her husband to marry a second wife.

Look! Maria I have made up my mind about this, and no one is going to stop me, Mr. Ojo said to his wife.

And please, when I bring her in, I want you to act nice with her. I won’t tolerate problems, please.

I might bring her in next week

Mr. Ojo’s Second Wife

Episode 2

I swear, there will be no peace in this house if he brings any woman here.

I will make sure she suffers until she uses her own leg to run from the marriage, Maria said.

The next day, Ojo was preparing to go visit his parents in the village.

He needs to discuss this with them. Ojo was going out of his house when he got a call.

Hello,” the caller said.

Hello

Sir, you haven’t been to the office for some days now.

Yes, I have something serious to take care of.

But, sir, we need you here to sign some business papers for us.

Oh no, I can’t. I’m on my way to the village now. Just do anything you can do, please, Ojo said as he ended the call.

Actually, Ojo hasn’t been to his office for days now; he wants to finish up with his new marriage before resuming office.

Ojo walked into his car and drove out of the compound.

He made it quickly to his village and was welcomed by his parents.

They sat on a long bench as they discussed about Ojo getting a new wife.

Papa I really love Esther, and I want to proceed with the marriage immediately.

My son, you have my full support. But taking care of two wives is not an easy job, Ojo’s father said.

That is true, my son. Please listen to your father. Are you sure you want to do this? Ojo’s mother asked.

Yes, mama, I am ready. Moreover, I have everything they need; I am wealthy, papa.

I know you are wealthy, but where do you intend to keep your second wife?

I don’t understand your question, papa. They will stay in the same house.

No way, my son; that is not a good idea. Getting married to two wives is not bad, but putting them in the same house is very dangerous.

Mama, trust me, there will be no problem at all.
The two of them will get used to it as time goes on.

Well, if you say so, let’s proceed with the marriage rights.

Ojo discussed a few things with his parents, and they finally concluded that they would be going to see Esther’s parents next week.

Since the week is already coming to an end, Ojo decided to stay in the village till then.

Like magic, next week arrived. Ojo travels out of the village with his parents.

Yes, because his parents need to be present to witness the marriage.

It was a family marriage; only the two families attended the marriage.

Maria wasn’t present in the marriage because she was never in support of it.

As time went on, everything was done successfully in the marriage.

Ojo’s parents traveled back to the village, and Ojo took his new wife home.

That was when the drama began. Ojo entered his compound with his ranger.

They came out of the car and went into the house.

Maria was sitting on the couch watching a program when Ojo walked in with another woman by his side.

Immediately, Maria knew she was the second wife Ojo was talking about.

Good afternoon, ma. Esther greeted Maria but never got a reply.

Maria, are you not the one Esther is greeting? Ojo asked

But he also didn’t get any response from Maria.

Don’t mind her.” Ojo said as he showed Esther to her room.

By evening, everyone in the family was gathering around the dining table.

Maria, please serve the food, Ojo said.

Ok, my husband, Maria said as she stood up and walked into the kitchen, and then came out with only two plates of food.

She gave one to her husband and took the other one for herself.

Maria What is the meaning of this? Can’t you see we are three here? Ojo angrily said.

We are three, and so?
Is she not also a wife? She should better go and prepare her own food if she is hungry. Maria fired back.

Maria, please, this is her first time in this house, and you can’t expect her to start doing all these immediately. By the way, there is enough food that will go around everyone. Ojo said

Whoever is hungry should go and prepare her own, and that final

Esther was slowly becoming angry, but she controlled herself, knowing that it was her first time and she couldn’t misbehave.

The argument continued till Ojo had no option but to share his own food with Esther.

Waking up the next morning, Esther did all the housework even before anyone could wake up.

She continued making the whole house chores by herself.

Esther tried all the possible ways to make Maria her friend, but it always ends in a quarrel.

Maria left the house that same morning and went to visit Gloria.

Gloria was Maria’s best friend; she was like a special adviser to Maria.

Maria explained everything to Gloria.

Gloria, please, I really need to stop that woman from taking my husband from me.

Calm down, Maria. I know of a plan that can help you with this. Gloria said

Really ?

Yes, I am sure it would work.

Ok, let’s hear the plan. Maria insisted.

Gloria told Maria something in her ear, and they both laughed together.

Wow, what a nice plan! Let’s see how she is going to pass this one. Maria said

Don’t worry, my friend, I will keep helping you till you remove her from that house, Gloria said as they both laughed.

To be continued

What is their plan?
What do you think about Gloria? Is she a good friend?
