MY INFERIOR HUSBAND
EPISODE 30.
I decided to see Ikechukwu after I promised him . I could hardly recognize him as he was a shadow of himself and look so old that I thought he was really sick,I felt sorry for him as he looked so pale and sad.
I knew something was truly wrong with him as he could not stop crying when he saw me. He had cried for some minutes before I asked what went wrong.
He decided to let out the story as I had already promised him I was going to give a listening ear to him. I wanted to shout and leave but at the same time I wanted to hear why he made me go through all that pain and shame alone.
He was begging me as he told me he did not intentionally leave me with the pregnancy but was pushed to desert me by his parents as they threatened to disown him if he decides to marry me and he does not want to disobey his mother because he really love his mother.
I was left with anger as I could not believe he could abandon his unborn child because of his mother . I wanted to stand up and leave when he held me and told me he was really sorry and is regretting his action since then as he has been married to the lady his parents wanted for fifteen years without any child from the union .
He told me he learnt his lesson in a very hard way as he found out the lady he was forced to marry has done a lot of atrocities in the past as this has affected her ability to conceive after her womb was been removed but kept all these from him and his parents until her secret was been revealed by his friend who was their family doctor. It was the doctor that revealed that she has done lot of abortions in the past which she declined at first but later consent to the truth after he had threatened her. She knew she could not give birth anymore but still decide to marry without telling him.
It was during our conversation that I knew his mother was the one that suggested he should ask for the custody of Elijah from me . I could not believe she could be this heartless at all after all I am the mother of my son and I can decide what I want for him just like she told me in the past.
A part of me was happy with the news I was hearing as I could not believe God could actually defend me this way. I felt I would have been happy if I had been allowed to marry Ikechukwu but I could not be happy totally as I had also been married without a child from the union.
He had to beg to see his son ,a son he has abandoned for fifteen years and just recently want , accept because his wife could not give birth . This was selfish at the highest order
I was confused if I should let my son know his father or I should let IK suffer for his past sin.
Do you think I will forgive Ikechukwu and let him see his son after all we went through?
