WHERE IS THE GUY I MARRIED BY Lizzy Oyebola Yakubu

"Wiiiiiieeeeeeennnn, wieeeeeeeeeeeeeeen, wieeeeeennnnnennnn” my baby’s cry geared on and on.

.

“Jesus, please stop her. Please calm her down. What do I know is wrong with her now?” I kept muttering to myself as I sat up and held my three month old baby in my arm. She was crying profusely. Tears dotted her face like little puddles of water. She doesn’t want to be appeased. She refused to be breastfed too. What shall I do?

.

I climbed down the bed and danced around while singing lullabies for her but instead of being appeased, Blossom kept crying.

.

“Is it her diapers?” I asked myself. I went to her wardrobe and brought out another diaper. I went back to the bed, sat down, removed all of her clothes and off I set to the bathroom.

.

After giving Blossom a warm bath, I came back to the bedroom to dress her in another light, comfortable sleeper after applying sufficient powder on her body and enough oil on her scalp. Yet, the cry continued. I was frustrated.

.

I brought her close to my bosom as I raised my blouse but her little hands pulled my blouse down meaning “I don’t want your jugs!” She cried the more!

.

We were in the hospital that very day before for the ante-natal. The last vaccination was not like this o! Though she cried it was not as bad as this. This incessant cry, I have been told to anticipate but I didn’t expect it would be this much. I eased the blouse she was wearing and checked her small shoulder which was the ‘venue’ for the substance causing my baby’s discomfort. I rubbed it over and over again. She cried the more. I put my baby down, knelt beside my bed and cried!

.

Is this how motherhood thing is? God, this is unbearable! I cried and cried.
You might be thinking, where is your husband? Is your baby fatherless? My dear people, no! My husband is alive,. He is safe and sound.

.

All the while the drama unfolded, Dave slept so beautifully as if nothing was happening. My baby’s tears and my own- everything was in his ears like lullabies urging him to sleep on.
This was not the man I married!

.

When I just got married to him, my sleeplessness made him sleepless. When I turned on my side on the bed, he would wake up, no matter how deep his sleep was. He would cuddle me and sing into my ears till I fall I asleep but now, he just didn’t bulge.

WHERE IS THE GUY I MARRIED?

EPISODE 2

Written by Lizzy Oyebola Yakubu




The scent of our Rosemary perfume wafted into my nose and I opened my heavy eyes.







Wow! It’s morning already.







I knew if I checked the mirror, my eyes would be hotter than fire. I didn’t even know when I drifted into sleep. My husband’s odd behavior drove me really crazy last night!







As I opened my eyes, I saw Dave standing before the king-sized mirror knotting his tie.







He looked really handsome and the suit was his perfect size! But his hair? His hair wasn’t combed at all. Why?







God please help me to be the Proverbs 31 virtuous lady. Don’t let me chase my husband out oh God! Give me wisdom. What do I know is on his mind now? What will I do?







I sighed deeply and adjusted on the bed. I cleared my throat because it had become croaky from the last night’s cries. He turned back to look at me. Then he faced the mirror again.







“Good morning,” he muttered







“Good morning dear. I waited for you last night. I didn’t even know when you came in. I am so sorry for all that transpired last night. How was your night?” I asked as I sat up. I was weak!







“Good,” was all Dave said.







I stood up and walked close to him. He shifted away from the way to avoid contact with me. I looked into his face and really, he was avoiding an eye contact. I didn’t want to start any argument again.







I forcefully held his hand and he relaxed, still looking away. I hugged him and he stiffened.







Our hug was like a lady hugging a pole. He didn’t hold me, he didn’t say anything but I heard his heartbeat. It was beating so fast. I rest my head on his chest to comfort him.







What can I do for you little heart? I asked myself softly.







Dave gently pulled me away.







“I am late,” he said, walking towards the bed.







I went to my dressing table and picked up a tail comb.







“Dave, if you don’t want my hand to touch you, at least my comb can?” I asked him. He sat on the arm chair obediently. I went closer and combed his hair gently, praying as I did.







I remembered three days ago while I combed his hair, he was saying







“Mummy, it’s painful.” Like a crying kid







“Painful ke! No o. you are the one that said you wanted afro o. Now, you have it. Endure it. You don buy job,” I played along.







We had laughed over it that day. But today, the silence was thick. It was as if a huge wall of Jericho had been built between Dave and I.







>>>>
“Lovely Lizzy, I have missed you. I am really sorry that I made you cry and worried . But the best I can do for you now is to avoid you. I really can’t look into your eyes now. Lizzy, I am sorry” I thought as Liz’s beautiful, soft hands worked on the bush of my head. I felt my heart so pained that it was about to rip open. What is happening to me?

WHERE IS THE GUY I MARRIED BY Lizzy Oyebola Yakubu
EPISODE THREE

I was determined to show Dave hell when he comes back.

The offences were that he cheated on me and also that he never told me about it.

If he had told you about it, would you have been able to contain it?” My Guide whispered to my ears.
“See, right now Holy Spirit, I am not ready for peace. I am not happy. I kept myself for this guy. I never knew a man. No man had seen my unclothedness apart from him and now, he is not contented!” I ranted on and on.
I picked my Bible and put it aside. I didn’t want any chance for God thing this afternoon.
God is too peaceful o!

When it’s time to fight, we should. If he comes now and I am submissive to him, he would really not know what offence he has committed.

I flipped through the Christian channels on the cable and they were talking about forgiveness, tolerance, understanding, prayer bring every yokes down. Even the Islamic stations bombarded my ears with not allowing the devil into our marriages by our mistakes.
I felt like screaming!

Must everyone do this to me?
Can’t I just have the chance to fight for myself?

“Liz, you think fighting would settle this? No! listen!” the Holy spirit sa

The Spirit must love me so much to still persistently speak to me.

He knows my name! he knows my every thought! He sees each tear that falls and hears me when I call!

Oh now I know the true message of that song!
I listened!

“See, a woman needs the wisdom of God. If a marriage works, its kudos to the woman. If it doesn’t work again, it’s a failure on her part”
“How? How?” I said on. Is it because the Holy Spirit is a spirit that he can’t feel what I am feeling? Woman’s fault ke!

“See, a wise woman builds her home but the foolish one pulls it down with her own hands. Hence, to build this home, you need wisdom.”

“How else can I be wise Lord? I am very sure I am in your will. Or, am I not?” I was almost crying. I had fallen on my face with great anguish.

“You are in God’s will daughter but that does not shield you from life’s storms. God has not promised Christians a storm free life but he promised us his protection even in the storm”

“Ah! But you said you will not tempt us more than we can bear Lord.

WHERE IS THE GUY I MARRIED
EPISODE FOUR


I shook from head to toes. Dave has finally succeeded in killing me!







Everything he is babbling about could be handled by a Christian wife perhaps but not me! My faith hasn’t reached that level yet.







He has been disgusted by his wife of just one year to the extent that he resorted to watching porn and probably masturbating. Now, he says there are more confessions.







He has an affair out of wedlock? Then I will leave him, forever!

He has a child outside?







Jesus, what would I do? I will kill myself… He has multiple baby mamas?

Ah! I will kill him, then precious Blossy, then myself.







“Liz, easy! Take it easy,” The Holy Spirit started speaking again.







I reversed and sat on the bed. My two legs couldn’t bear the shock anymore. They started hitting each other.







I started having a mild chest pressure. I could feel air struggling to pass through my bronchi.







Another attack is looming! But abeg, let asthma stay aside.







As I let out a very dry cough and started wheezing, Dave rushed to me, tears still on his face.







“Liz, I am sorry. Should I get you your inhaler?” he asked me.







I saw concern on his face but my health isn’t the most important now. it’s the issue on ground.







“Tell me what you have to say to me then I will decide either to die or live,” I wheezed on and on.







Dave made an attempt to hold me round the shoulders but I refused the offer.







My chest was on fire. It was burning so fiercely.







“Since, it’s death you want me to die, I’ll say yes! I will die but before I go, tell me what you have to tell me,” I forced the words out of my mouth.







It wasn’t convenient sitting down any longer, so I knelt with my chest on the bed if that would ease my pains.

It intensified.







“Lizzy, I can’t tell you anything at this point. Please,” he was saying with great concern on his face.







I threw him a dangerous look with my mouth suspended as I struggled for air.







“Then, there would be problem. Tell me now or there would be problem in this house,” I threatened.







“Ok then. Liz, please be well first. At least, use your inhaler first. I know how you feel.” He was saying but his preaching didn’t go well with me as I struggled to shift from the bed, caught him by his two legs and onto the bed he fell. He was somewhat shocked at my sudden power. I pulled him down the bed and held him by the neck. He looked at me with great fear.

“Will you talk now?” I wheezed on.







He nodded like an agama lizard.

WHERE IS THE GUY I MARRIED?
EPISODE FIVE
BY LIZZY OYEBOLA YAKUBU

.

The darkness was as thick as anything!







I could see nothing but darkness!







I could feel nothing but darkness!







I even tasted darkness!







Then, fear set in, then insecurity, then anguish, then the sudden realization that it might be that I am in hell and then, I screamed so loudly I felt I was going to vomit my internal organs.







“Where am I? Can someone please talk to me?” I cried out and listened for any response.

My voice reverberated in the darkness as thickly as the darkness.







“You want someone to speak to you?”







A light flashed from behind me as the voice spoke. I looked behind me but saw nothing but the same darkness.

The voice sounded so familiar that it hurt my heart that I couldn’t place the owner.







“Who is that? And where am I?”







“It’s a pity that my daughter doesn’t understand my voice again, ” the voice came again, there was light briefly again.







That’s the voice! The voice of the Holy Spirit and I was so joyful.







“Daddy, I have missed you but what’s this darkness? Am I dead?” I asked with misgiving.







”Daughter, you are in bitterness. You are embittered against your husband, your cousin, yourself, your marriage and even your Lord. The darkness you are inside right now shows how dark your bitterness is. Bitterness is darkness!”







“Really! So I am going to hell?” I asked as my heart started beating fast.







“Daughter, today is not the day of judgment so be grateful to God. God really loves you daughter. He wants you to love Him as much as He does.”







“Daddy, I was just so disappointed at everything. I didn’t bargain for this when I agreed to marry Dave. My marriage isn’t working out.”







“That’s true daughter. Your marriage isn’t working out but you have not failed yet. You should not be embittered against anyone but the devil.”







“Ok daddy, please just get me out of this darkness first.” I said desperately and there and then, light shone.







The brightness was just too much. It radiated round where I was. I was on my face and my hands grabbed the two legs before me.







“How do you feel now dear, daughter?” he asked in His sweet voice.







I spoke and my voice sounded angelic in my ears.







“It’s much better. It’s very bright but I prefer it. I prefer it to that darkness.”







“Now, let me explain certain things to you daughter,” he said and helped me up.







He put his arms round me as we walked through the beautiful environment that gave way as we approached.







“Dave has been a very great son of God since being in the university, working miracles and signs through the power of God. He has really stepped on the toes of the devil and he is bent on destroying him.”







“Hmmmm. The devil is sure a wicked man, doomed for hell!” I cried out







“Take it easy daughter. Just calm down and listen first!” he said firmly.







I became silent.







“The devil was ready to confuse him when he was to choose his life partner when sisters from the fellowship would stick to his side doing this and that for him but by God’s grace, he overcame. He was not shaken,” he paused again.







I nodded as I listened carefully.







“He chose you, married you, prayed for you and he has loved you greatly till date. Even when his heart was drifting away due to sins, he still loved you.”







“Wow!” I exclaimed. I had always known he loved me but I was happy that the Holy Spirit confirmed it.







“You got pregnant immediately you got married according to God’s will but the devil determined to kill you. Dave was always praying for you until Dorcas came in. In love for you to be taken care of, he accepted Dorcas into your home and that was the mistake. He didn’t pray about it. He didn’t even have anyone to pray for him. You were too weak to pray for your husband – your own mistake but God has been faithful.”







“Hmmm…thank you Lord o,” I said with gratitude







“You case is like Abraham and Abimelech. You were Abraham and you gave your husband Sarah, to Abimelech which is Dorcas. Now, Dorcas working under the influence of the devil kept on enticing Sarah but the Lord did not allow them to touch each other.”







“Thank You father. But God, I have really noticed a great change in my husband towards me.”







“You have not really been there for your husband my daughter.”







It was like a shock to my ears. I thought I had given all I had to Dave.

THE PENULTIMATE
Sweet Mother went out of the room to open the main door for Dorcas leaving Dave and I inside the room.







I concentrated on Blossom that was feeding quietly while pulling at my weave. I was trying to pull myself together. I swallowed several times perhaps the liquid can quench the burning that had started in my chest.







Dave’s arm coiled round my neck and he pulled me close. Blossom looked up and smiled so heartily at the union but my baby’s smile didn’t do me anything.







What is Dorcas coming to do here? Is she perhaps coming to confront me? Over my own husband?







“It’s not going to happen,” Dave said as if he knew what was going on in my heart. I looked up at him and faked a smile.







“Nothing you are thinking about will happen. Now, give me your hand and trust me,” He said and even when I was reluctant and slow, he laid hold of my hand and held it with confidence.







“Let’s do this together” he said and I swallowed again before sighing deeply.







“But must she come into our bedroom?” I asked, almost with disgust. My husband smiled and tickled me briefly on the cheek.







“She is still your cousin and you are not even so strong now to move here and there? Let her come in.”







“Ok o,” I said with mixed feelings. I wanted to do God’s will of forgiveness and look beyond Dorcas’ fault but I didn’t want to set my eyes on her.







Or better put, I didn’t want Dave to set his eyes on her.







What would be on his mind when he sees her? Won’t he remember the nude pictures? Dave is also human o. I hope he won’t be imagining things!







The door opened and we heard some footsteps.







“And here we are!” Sweet Mother announced and I really could not look back to see the duo.

WHERE IS THE GUY I MARRIED?
EPISODE 7



It was as if I woke up from the wrong side of the bed on Sunday morning. I had woken up several times in the midnight to hit my husband so he could change his position in order to stop his snore







On one of the occasions, he had opened his eyes widely with his mouth opened and what was it my eyes saw- drool! I shook my head.







Still very sleepy, he scratched his head, then his moustache and then his hairy chest.







“Oh my God!” I exclaimed loudly. It was just two in the morning.







”Why is this guy like this?’ I asked myself.







“Dear, did you hit me? Like…I mean…did you…” he babbled on, drifting back into sleep. I pulled the blanket over him.







“Dave, is this the great surprise you have for me? Snores, drools and sleepless night, huh!” I exclaimed again, almost shouting but my husband was long asleep.









‘I hope this is not a bad sign o. I pray against bad omen. Since I met Dave, he had never been this strange at night!’ I sat up and stared at his face.







I looked over at my baby’s bed and she was sleeping peacefully, her thumb in her mouth- again!







Then, Dave’s leg started coming towards me as the snores heightened. I quickly blocked it and threw it away but he didn’t wake up still. I was very shocked. Just a touch would have woken Dave up on a norm.







“Dave, Dave…David,” I called as I pulled at him but he didn’t answer.







“In times like this daughter, you don’t think it’s the best time to pray,” My best friend’s voice went on again.







“My prayer time is 3am,” I retorted.







“Start praying now,” he replied with a command. I turned to my back, picked my bible, knelt beside my bed and prayed.







I started singing after a while with my husband’s continual snores as the piano!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

“You are my African queen, the girl of my dreams; you’ll take me where I’ve never been…”







My husband’s sonorous voice sang on, waking me up. I stretched and looked up to see my side. He wasn’t there.







“Where is this guy?” I asked myself as I checked the time. It was 4 o’clock. I gently stirred on the bed to the other side, still pretending to be asleep.







Then I saw Dave on the arm chair holding the phone close to his mouth, closing his eyes and singing deeply from his heart. Through the half-open window of my eyes, I watched on and as he concluded his call, I almost fell off the bed.







“More than anything in this world, more than my mum, more than anything in the world, I really love you. Would you be my wife?” he said on and on with the phone still close to his mouth. My heart pumped repeatedly.







“Dave wants to kill me,” I said to myself as I trembled on my bed.







‘Is this the surprise? A new wife?’







I shut my eyes firmly as I looked across the room to see him smiling happily. He walked over to the bedside and I tried myself to quickly compose myself so he didn’t know his secret had leaked. He bent over me and squeezed my shoulder.







“Sleepie sleepie! Wakie wakie!” he said on and on and my heart turned sour. I muttered some prayers and stretched as I sat up, opening my eyes in pretense as if I was just waking up.







“Good morning dear” I said.







“Good morning. How was your night?” he asked







“Very terrible!”







“Terrible? Why?” he asked, obviously bewildered.







“You have a doctorate degree now in snoring and drooling education” I said and he laughed.







“Me?” he asked.
