MY AUNT’S HUSBAND
EPISODE 13
It was either aunt Belinda was stupid or she had turned blind eyes to things. Hannah’s baby bump was so visible and this was a pregnancy of just 1 week as they said. With the way Hannah stature was and everything she was already three months gone. I answered aunt Belinda and she asked me to go prepare white rice and egusi soup for Hannah. I didn’t bother asking why the combo of such food as I went to prepare it.
After making the food Hannah told me she didn’t want that anymore that I should go make spaghetti instead. I just looked at her bit aunt Belinda said I should do what she says. I went back into the kitchen and made the spaghetti and brought for her but she complained that it didn’t have enough pepper, I didn’t say a word as I went into the kitchen and brought dried pepper and poured into the bowl of spaghetti. I didn’t care anything anyone said at that that time, it was Hannah’s and aunt’s fault that my life was a mess at that time.
Time skip…………..
Time ran so fast with everything going absolutely wrong with my life. I was done with my external exams but I wasn’t sure if I was gonna pass at all because I didn’t concentrate much as I was battling between been fucked every night and Hannah’s stupid cravings. I decided not to tell aunt anything till I got my results so I would know if I got a scholarship or not. I sure got the scholarship and I didn’t know how I was so happy because of this bit this came with a more sadder news. I was pregnant and uncle Josh was responsible. I cried so much and didn’t know the way forward at that time.
To add salt on injury the scholarship wasn’t for pregnant girls. Which school will accept a pregnant 17 year old in their school. I felt like dieing at that point but I had to calm down. I decided to abort the baby as it wasn’t up to a month, I rather die than give birth to uncle Josh child. I didn’t want to have anything to do with them anymore but I didn’t have enough for abortion so I had to ask my aunt. If I was going down then they were all going with me for sure.
Aunt I need 100k for something important. I’ve not come to bad mouth your husband or anything and I also want to say you have changed and not in a good way. I thought you love me but you love your hubby more but you will he the one to cry at last. I just need the hundred thousand like tomorrow and that’s all I came to tell you. I could see how shocked aunt was, she would be like when did I grow to the extent to talk to her that way.
I left for my room as my aunt was shouting like some mad dog. She came into my room and wanted to have a conversation but I wasn’t having it.
Aunt Belinda: “chinwe what is it and why have you been acting this way, see I know you are still angry at what happened I just didn’t want you bad mouthing my husband that’s all.
Me: of course you don’t want me bad mouthing your husband. But you never actually calmed down to see your so called husband for who he is.
Aunt Belinda: You think I don’t know yet married Hannah and the baby isn’t mine. I know all this but I need to save my marriage. Josh loves me but since I couldn’t give him a child I think someone else should.
Me: I looked at Aunt Belinda like I just saw a ghost. But why did you then tell him what I said if you knew.
Aunt Belinda; I didn’t know then until last month when I heard them talking I’m sorry I didn’t believe you.
Me: that isn’t my business any longer aunt. And I hate you so much. For your information I’m pregnant for uncle Josh and I need that money from you to abort this bastard from my stomach.
Aunt Belinda: what!!! Olivia have you been sleeping with my husband behind my back.
Me: no your husband has been raping me behind your back if I had told you, you would say I was bad mouthing him. This has been happening for about 5 months now and I’m pregnant.
Aunt Belinda was so shocked she fell on the floor and started crying. I wasn’t moved at all as it was her fault I was in that position. I didn’t tell her uncle Josh plan to divorce her once Hannah gives birth and legalize him and her marriage.
I got the abortion and everything went well. Uncle Josh gave me enough money to get away from them and live my life till I got into school through the scholarship. I was a graphic designer so I wasn’t that confused on my life.
As planned Hannah gave birth and uncle Josh divorced aunt Belinda I hope she is alright though because I lost contact with her.
I’m now a graduate of fine and applied arts and a professional graphic designer and this is me telling my story.
I didn’t loose much but the person I so loved and wanted to help lost much because of ignorance.
I pray I never have to leave my offsprings in the world to any aunt or uncle.
DON’T BE A FOOL FOR LOVE.

THE END
Some men will never change so to speak of some aunties
What an amazing and interesting story?
Hey!… Uncle Josh stop touching my anointed soul, she might be your only eyes to survive in the nearest future.
Young lad, I really felt for you and your aunt’s ignorance which brought a total mess from that beast. But… Thanks to God Almighty for seeing you throughout your examinations, that’s part of life experience. I think it was the reason God offered you the scholarship.
