Chapter 4

Dennis was brushing his teeth, but he sounded like someone who was choking. It was a nasty sound Ulo had still not gotten used to five years on. He finished his business and sat on the bed with a mighty thud.

''You forgot to flush the toilet again'' she said softly.

''Dear God, did I? You would have to excuse me Miss Etiquette, I can't stand up again - that’s me done tonight.''

She carried on reading while he playfully pushed her throwing her book aside.

''I am reading that!'' she cried out in mock anger but he ignored her ''book, book, book that’s what you read all day. I come home and its book again. You can't even chat with your husband.

By the way I met Maxi B at the golf club. He said the tests came out fine for both of us. The sperm is fine, your uterus is not inverted, no fibroids, the ovaries are great and your tubes are clear. I told you nothing is wrong.''

Ulo looked at him in amazement blinking her eyes ''he said that at the club just like that? No test results, no follow up appointment, no advice on what to do next? Did we go to the local trade fair or a clinic?''

Dennis sighed in irritation ''why does everything with you have to be so difficult? This is our family doctor someone I know quite well. Did you want another sombre appointment? Why are you so uptight, filled with doom and gloom?''

She hugged her knees and began to cry silently. Somewhere in her heart, she imagined there would be a diagnosis so they could commence treatment.

Dennis came from a poor home blighted by polygamous problems: badly behaved children, quarrelsome wives and an egocentric father. His mother was the second of four wives who fought hard to ascertain her children’s right; not that they were entitled to much anyway. Dennis was the second of four siblings from his mother and they all attended public schools.

On the day he graduated from secondary school, his father called him aside and spoke solemnly ''from now onwards, you are on your own. At your age, I was married to my first wife and toiling the fields with my bare hands'' he stretched out his hand to emphasis his point while his son looked on. ''Henceforth, don’t expect to receive anything from me because those days are long gone. Instead, I should be the one asking for pocket money. If you want to go into business, you have my blessing. If you want to further your education, you have my blessing. If you say it is a wife, I won't stop you. Whatever you do, don’t ask me for a kobo! God bless your efforts my son. Kneel, let me pray for you.''

Dennis hated his family and the life he was used to. Most nights before he slept, he would ask God why he was born into such family. He got a job at a building shop right after secondary school. He would leave home first thing in the morning and be the last to close shop after his boss. Anything that took him away from home was bliss.

His boss was impressed by his dedication and offered to take him to Lagos. He was opening a new shop and needed a dependable sales boy.

Dennis wasted no time in jumping at the offer to leave his godforsaken town. His mother urged him on as she packed his bags ''don’t look back my son because there is nothing in this wretched town. We have tilled the soil and plundered all that is left of her. God bless your oga, the moment I saw him, I knew he would bring me joy.''

Ulo decided to wait until it was safe enough to leave, those last hours felt like the longest period of her life. Bode remained quiet under the sheets staring at her while she sat on a chair swinging her leg.

There was nothing more to say or do because it had all been done. She didn’t feel ashamed or scared. In hindsight, this was the pointer, that her impending marriage was doomed from the start.

By the time she got up to leave, Bode began sobbing like a baby, dabbing the corner of his eyes with the bed sheet. He didn’t have the strength to walk her out, which was a good thing as it was best no one saw anything. He began to beg ''stay with me baby, what we share is real. Run away with me and let's build a home. I may not have the world now, but I promise to make you very happy someday. You know I love you and that man can never love you like I do.''

She walked out without a word or backward glance and gently closed the door behind.

to be contd
