MY AUNT’S HUSBAND
EPISODE 8
The name Hannah kept ringing a bell in my ears. Well it was good she was here, but I knew for sure that my aunt didn’t welcome her at all. But also why did uncle Josh welcome her with open hands, I knew that things were a bit funny rather strange but I couldn’t pin point where the feeling was coming from. It’s been days and mom Beatrice had gone back to the village, not without a quarrel with aunt Belinda. “Mama you better take back that thing you brought from the village because she isn’t welcome to stay with me I no longer agree to whatever you have said,I don’t need anyone to bare my children for me, especially that girl I rather go to the orphanage and adopt”, this was Aunt Belinda speaking.
Uncle Josh came into the scene with an looking so angry as he said “orphanage what?ehh Belinda,see you can’t give me a child talk more of children so why don’t you let Hannah do it. I have thought over it and I see it as the best option okay?. She will just be a surrogate while you donate your eggs to her. See no intimacy involved and we are going to the hospital tomorrow so Better get ready. I could see how desperate uncle Josh was. Aunt Belinda didn’t even say a word as she went into her room.
Me and Hannah had become good friends she wasn’t as bad as I thought she was cool to he around with and she was helping me with my studies as senior certificate examination was around the corner. In a month it will begin so I needed to study and her helping me was a big help. As she said she wasn’t there to ruin my aunt’s marriage but actually to mend it. She was ready to be the surrogate but aunt Belinda wasn’t having any if it as she swore over her dead body that she won’t allow her be their surrogate.
I didn’t see the big deal in Hannah being their surrogate it wasn’t as if uncle Josh was gonna have s*x with Hannah or anything. And the way I was seeing it if aunt Hannah refused further he was gonna impregnate Hannah. I could see the eyes and the way he always looked at her. Well I was happy I wasn’t being disturbed but I always saw him entering Hannah’s room at night. But I don’t hear any funny movements as he always comes out 10 minutes later.
I was suspecting uncle Josh was responsible for Hannah being here but it was just theories and I had no proof whatsoever. Aunt Belinda and Hannah were never in good terms.Hannah wasn’t the problem but aunt Belinda was. She never answered her greeting or ate her food which made me beg Hannah to let me do the cooking while she shows me what to do.
I decided to talk to Aunt about the surrogacy stuff but she wasn’t having any of it. Aunt Belinda I came to talked to you I said while I approached her.
Sure what is it. I hope it’s not money o because I’m not receiving my salary till next week.
No it’s not money I just came to tell you that it actually won’t be bad if Hannah becomes a surrogate for you. Since it would just be artificial insemination, then I don’t think you should have anything to worry about asvit will still be your child and it’s also better than adoption. I think you agree sooner because with the way things are going uncle Josh might get her pregnant.
Would you shut your mouth,see let me tell you my husband isn’t that desperate and what did I tell you about bad mouthing him eh this girl. And also over my dead body will that girl mom Beatrice bring be my surrogate. I don’t know what she and my mother inlaw has planned and I won’t let it happen, oya get out of my room and don’t you ever talk to me about this again.
I went out of her room as she ordered. At least I tried talking to her. I headed to aunt Hannah’s room to get my books which I left there but getting there uncle Josh had already entered so I just went to the door to hear their conversation and what I heard gave me the greatest shock of my life……
