Continuation… My Wife And I
Today was Sunday, so after returning from church, my wife suggested that we go for outing and shopping.
According to her, it will make me strong to deliver the baby and staying in a particular place is unhealthy.
“Is like you have forgotten that this pregnancỳ is not real. Abeg ooo. How will I carry this thing to outside? ” I asked, surprised at my wife’s idea.
” But people are carrying pregnancy everywhere. ”
“They are women not men. Gosh! ” I was frustrated, but she ignored me.
I continued. “Just give me the money let me win. In fact, I am already the winner. Why doing this to me, sweetheart? ” I cried.
But my wife just laughed and opened the door.
That was how we entered the car and drove down to the city with my pregnancỳ. During the drive, I kept shifting uncomfortably. Whenever I opened my mouth to talk, my wife would raise a finger.
We arrived at a mall that was at the centre of the city. It was a busy place.
I didn’t even know that I was drawing attention until my wife whispered to me.
” See the way people are admiring you, I mean us. Aren’t we cute? ”
After spending some hours selecting clothes for the unborn baby, a lady called me.
” Yemi, how far na. ” she greeted. She was one of my colleagues at work.
” I’m fine and you? ” I replied praying earnestly that she should not see my big stomach.
She looked at my stomach.
“How come, your stomach wasn’t big yesterday. Are you okay?”
“It is marvellous in our sight.Please, we have places to go. Have a nice day. ” my wife replied and dragged me out of the mall.
“So, I shouldn’t talk to my friends again. Is that part of the game? ”
” No, but it can make you lose. Oya, to the next place. ”
I sighed. 200k will soon be mine.
