MY AUNT’S HUSBAND
EPISODE 6
Aunt looked very pale as she looked at mom Beatrice and said, mom I don’t understand what do you mean by you brought a woman to bare him children,are my God?, I’m I the giver of children?,why are you hell bent on destroying my home mom?. Mom Beatrice couldn’t care less as she looked at the girl she brought “Nnma(beauty) please let chinwe show you where you would sleep while I take care of this barren woman”. I didn’t know what to say or do as my aunt was giving me those killer eyes that implies if I take her anywhere then I’m done. I wasn’t ready to be dragged into their matter as I had enough drama and draggings in the morning.
“Babe let mama and the girl settle first then we will discuss better when you’re calm okay?,I wouldn’t want you to say what you will regret later”,well this was typing uncle Josh talking under the influence of what’s inside the girls skirt. How could mom Beatrice even bring such a young girl for uncle Josh maybe she knew her child’s obsession with little girls, hmm what a life. Babe how can you say that, your mom barges into my home with another lady,sorry girl to bare my own husband children and you said I should wait for a home wrecker to settle first huh?, this girl is chinwe’s age for Christ sake,this was aunt replying him.
I just excused myself and went to prepare a room for the girl. But I think I made a mistake by preparing the one close to my room. I wanted to have a nice chit chat with her when they have decided her faith of her either staying or going. After the case was resolved I showed the girl which I haven’t yet known her name her room and she loved it at least she wasn’t all picky but she didn’t look like a good person to me but I’m not judge.
To some extent I was happy that mom Beatrice brought some one then at least her son would gladly leave me alone,so I hope because I didn’t want to do anything that will make me loose face in the society when people find out. I went to prepare dinner but I decided to check on my aunt first and I could see her in her room looking all gloomy and pale. I still wonder why she hasn’t given birth,she is a good person and according to her she married a virgin so I won’t say she had a past abortion.
Immediately she saw me she started crying so hard that I felt for her, I even forgot all the things she said and did to me in the morning and I wished I could take away little of her pain. Chinwe imagine Josh allowed his mom and that girl stay in this house,just imagine the stupid agreement he made to his mom. He said the girl can stay with us but he isn’t going to impregnate her because he loves me but he would accommodate her since mom had married her for him, what nonsense is that how can someone just come into my home and want to wreck it?. Did I ever ask not to be fruitful?,did I ever do anything wrong to anyone?,chinwe why are my been punished this way?.
I consoled her and told her to fight for what rightly belongs to her. I also told her not to trust her husband on the matter of the girl living here with us but her mood suddenly changed. She told me that not because she was confiding in me gives me the right to bad mouth her husband, I wanted to tell her what’s going on with her so called man of integrity and respect but I didn’t see it as the appropriate time for that.
Uncle Josh came in and I excused myself to the kitchen of course I eavesdropped on their conversation.”Honey Stop all this tears I already told you I’m not gonna have anything to do with that girl Mana brought I just accepted her to stay here because I didn’t want any problem with Mama, just trust me this once and everything is gonna be fine. It’s not your fault that we don’t have children and I’m willing to wait for as long as it takes okay?,so cheer up and it was as if aunt Belinda was hypnotized she immediately smiled. Well I won’t say anything for now until I see what uncle Josh has planned. At least I get to be free from his harassments and threats……
