thanks ma for the dedication. anger sure have a way of causing breakage, disunity and hate in a home. quite a lesson. couples no matter d temperament, should strive to control it and inculcate a listening ear.

[/right]"He impregnated someone else! "
"Don't mind her, mum. She sent him out!" I charged back, she eyed me.
"Eniola,I warned you enough. I told you to take it cool with your husband, no man is holy, as a woman, you must learn how to care for your husband and home. You leaving your matrimonial home makes things worse, someone else is going to occupy your space! You're so dumb, Eni." Mother lamented.
"Mum, are you siding my husband?"
"Not in this community where husbands are placed on wives. There is nothing like gender equality in Nigeria, men can make mistakes, they have the privilege."
"Mum,I am not going to that house o! Mike broke my heart! I thought we were both not ready for childbearing" Eniola sobbed.
"Eni, how do you mean? You mean both of you agreed to to.... Oh my Lord! You are just a kid! I warned your father against giving you out to marriage, you're just a girl, Folu is better than you by far!"
"Mum....!"she stressed
"You better go back to your husband. Here is my matrimonial home not yours. Its a home for myself,my husband and last daughter, go back, here is not a dumping site."
"Mum, you mean... You mean I'm not your child ?" She questioned soberly.
"Olami, We've given you out in marriage, you no longer answer Adigun, you are now Onabanjo."" See, I'm giving this night to settle down, go back to your husband's house tomorrow morning. "Mother said and walked away. My sister was sobbing , I could not move closer to her because of the rift between us.
" Folu, do you think Mike can cheat on me?"she asked breaking the silence between us.
"Is he not your husband anymore? Can I know your husband better than you? You claim I am a beggar who can't stay where her parents are? So what!" I stood up and headed straight to my room, I felt bad talking to my sister that way, I looked through the glass door and saw her fighting back the tears whelming in her eyes, she was shattered.

ENIOLA

[right]
I walked into my matrimonial home two days after I left, my bags were in the car. I noticed a strange car parked in our garage, I anxiously entered our living room where I met my husband, my husband's cousin, Mark and a lady who sat close to my husband.
"Eni...."
"Who's she?" I cut in rudely, the three of them exchanged strange glances.
"Hello Eni..."Mark greeted
"Excuse me! So you're part of the plan right! After all I've done for you, Mark! You have the odasity to collide with my husband to impregnate this slut!" I said eyeing the fair lady sitting close to Mike.
"But ma....!" The Lady made to defend herself.
"Shut it there! Sheybi that is what you wanted! His wealth?!"
"Eniola, what is all this?" Mark asked angrily.
"I'm disappointed in you, I clothed you, I cooked for you and yet you can do this to me! Hey young lady, is it my husband that you want? You are carrying his first seed? You want this house? You're sure going to get it but there is something you cannot have... Do you know, dummy? His heart." My mind was weak, I was close to tears but I dare not let it out. I must be strong for myself and my home. The girl is not worth it at all, she is a dark skinned short girl, how could my husband stoop so low?how?.
"Now, get out of my house, you bloody slut?" The lady stood up,picked her bag and made to leave when my husband drew her back, I was astonished.
"What's that for, foolish husband?"
"Hey Eni, she is not going anywhere, not when she's carrying my ... My baby." The words sounded so unreal, he swallowed hard.
"You mean this slut should stay in our home,?" I asked
"Which home, the one you left two days ago? More so, I can stand you calling my wife names, can you please excused us? Its like you stay has been over welcomed." I wished the ground could swallow me, does human changes so easily, my husband was sending me out of our matrimonial house! I was speechless for few minutes, I turned my back and left the house. It dawned on me that I had overridden my husband and he had come out of his shell. I sat in the car for minutes crying and wailing, I had lose the only man who could love me genuinely, he made my dishes, laundries and stuffs and yet I failed to accord him tge respect that he deserves. As I made to drive, I saw someone adjusted the window cotton, it was as if someone was watching me from afar. I ignited the car and drove off... I wanted my husband badly, I wanted to change my ways and care for him.


So sorry for the delayed in updates, no light in my area since Saturday o, thanks for your birthday messages and wishes... May God bless you.

PART THREE

BOWOFOLUWA

I was sitting at the pool side looking at my sister who was sitted under the tall palm tree in our compound. It was two days since she came back from her husband's house. She hardly eat, all she did was to bath,sleep and sit in that spot since then. She refused talking to anyone and most time, I could see tears in her eyes. I had been proving stubborn because of the rift between us. As I was watching her, I saw dejection written vividly on her face, her eyes were swollen and her Brazilian hair scattered, she was covering and wiping her face regularly so I decided to move closer, I could not watch and leave my sister in such a situation, she was but but she is still my sister, my favourite. I tied the small pink towel round my waist covering only my bikini pant, I approached ber and sat in the floor facing her.
"Eniwealth, what's sup?"
"As you can see I'm fine." She said looking away.
"You've been a shadow of yourself lately,no makeups, no hangouts, no false lashes. What is wrong?" Eniola was a fashion freak, She wears the best designers, rocks the best makeups and fix the most expensive hairstyle, her favourite was thick, long false lashes.She hugged me so tight.
"I'm sorry,Folu. I've wronged you,you warned me enough" she begged amidst tears.
"Dear sister,it is not your fault no matter what, I love you and will continue to do,stop being childish. Marriage is not as sweet as its sounds. I want the best for you, Mike is the only guy who can tolerate you. Go back your husband, that's where you belong."
"He sent me away, he had brought another woman into our no!his home." Tears rolled freely, I moved closer to her and embraced her, was it possible for Mike to impregnate someone else?
"I will see him tomorrow." I announced, she freed herself from my grip.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes baby."
"Tell him I'll cope with his...his baby mama... All I Want is my husband, my home..." She said amidst tears.



Good evening Everyone
kajsa08,thanks boo

"Honey,what went wrong? I asked.
" Honey, I'm really sorry. Your sister pushed me to the wall"
"But you went extremely far, you know you are my sister's happiness."
"Your sister is selfish! She can't be happy by making others unhappy." He barked, it was the first time he would raised the voice while talking to me, I knew my sister had gone beyond her boundary, I saw hurt and pains in his eyes.
"You've not been sleeping well lately." I noticed sleepbags under his eyes, He laughed. "Did you miss her." I asked, his face lit up.
"I will come and see mum and dad tomorrow, Mum called."
"Alright." I said. "I want to request something from you"
"What?"
"Please call my sister, she have been a shadow of herself, please!" I begged.
"We will see tomorrow Honey." He smiled while I stood up.
"Instinct keeps telling me you cannot cheat on your wife"
"But I just did."
"You cannot pretend, it is in your eyes" I said and walked away before he could respond. The truth was Mike said something his facial expression contradicted. I knew he was playing pranks.

* xxxx. *

"Sister, let's be prayerful, I'm sure your husband would come back to you." We were sitted under the mango tree, Eniola was wearing a yellow free gown that belongs to our mother.
"My world seems empty, I missed my husband,Folu, I missed him" she bursted into tears.
"You shouldn't have packed out." I blamed her.
"I've realised my mistake, he needs to forgive me." She said wiping off her tears with her bare hands, I sighted our mother from afar.
"Wipe your tears, mum is approaching." I alerted her, she kept wiping her tears.
"So you can now cry, abi?" Mum said mockingly.
"M...um" I stressed
"Don't I warn you enough? Slayqueen, so you can now wear my clothes abi, rich boy's wife? Sheybi you were feeling fly, you thought the world revolves round those assets you possess?" She cursed eyeing my sister who bursted into tears, I moved closer to console her."So, you can cry abi, and you?"she said addressing me. "Sheybi she sent you away, must you always clean her poo.?"
"Mu...m, this is unfair." I tried to correct her.
"See, you can not ridicule me and my husband in this street. You've been staying in my house since last week as if your husband does not have one. When we sent you off to your husband's house, all our neighbours were present, what do you expect me to tell them when they started seeing you around. I trained you children well o, it was your father that gave you free hand." She expressed as she wiped her face with the edge of her scarf.
"You just decided to punish me! I give you forty eight hours to leave my house." She said and walked away. My sister bursted into fresh tears while I consoled her
