“Do you think we’re doing the right thing?” Mrs. Sokari questioned her daughters.

“Yes o!” Michelle quickly asserted.

“I can’t help feeling sorry for her.” Their mother said sadly.

“Mum, don’t feel sorry for her. She’s a great pretender. It’s because of your presence that she became humble. If Dave had been here, her mouth would have been running like a leaking faucet. Don’t mind her. She has destroyed her womb with countless abortions and now wants to pretend nothing is wrong with her. Idiot.” Michelle extended with emphasis.

“Serves her right.” Felicia asserted with derisive cool.

“Feli, please let’s go to the kitchen to look for what to prepare for mummy.” Michelle suggested and they both got up to go into the immaculate kitchen, leaving their mum staring into space and trying to suppress her guilty conscience.

Meanwhile, Oleng was still at the door weeping profusely. She couldn’t believe what had happened to her. What a shameful way to leave your husband’s house, she thought. She wished for the umpteenth time that Dave was there. She could bet her life that he wouldn’t have allowed his family throw her out in such a disgraceful manner.

She got up and packed her clothes, shoes and jewelleries properly into her travel bags. They had only thrown out a few of her things. She didn’t mind because there would be ample time for her to get the rest. She was glad the neighbors weren’t around or she would have died of embarrassment.

She managed to get a hold of herself and carried the bags to the gate. She thanked God the gateman wasn’t around to ask her questions because she was fond of him and she wouldn't have been able to lie. She hailed an approaching taxi, put her luggage in it and gave the driver Aunt Vien’s address in MCC road. She had nowhere else to go.

When Aunt Vien opened the door, Oleng just burst into tears. Her Aunt quickly led her in and helped her to bring in her luggage.

“What is it my dear? What happened?” She was anxious but Oleng cried on.

“Please my dear. Pull yourself together and tell me what happened. Is Dave back? Did you quarrel with him? Please tell me what happened.”

“Dave’s mum and his sisters threw me out of his house because the three months they gave to me to get pregnant is up and I still haven’t conceived.” she finally confided.

“What?” Her Aunt stood up in anger. “Are you God? Who are they to play God with your life? Where were they when you were running from pillar to post in attempts to get pregnant? Don’t they know of all you've been doing to get pregnant? The different doctors, their numerous tests and from one church program to the other. Where were they? What have they done as in-laws to help you get pregnant? God will definitely punish them for treating you like this. They won’t go scot free. I assure them.” Aunt Vien retorted sharply.

“Aunty, it’s not their fault. Look at me, I’ve been married for four years yet I haven’t been able to conceive not even once so that it would be said I had a miscarriage. Not once! I don’t blame them at all. I don’t.” She shook her head continously.

Aunt Vien sat by her and held her. “But it’s not your fault either. We’re fertile in my family and you can’t be different. Remember you even got pregnant for Eric.”

“That’s the more reason why I’m worried, Aunty. What if his child did something to me?”

“But the doctors said you're alright and the child didn’t harm you in any way. Stop blaming yourself. What about Dave? Have you considered the fact that the fault could be from him?”

“There’s nothing wrong with Dave, Aunty. The doctor said he's okay too and he told me two of his ex-girlfriends got pregnant for him but they had to abort them because of their studies. I don’t know what’s wrong. Why is this happening to me? Why? Why is my life so full of misery?” she lamented pitifully.

Her Aunt held her and couldn’t help the tears that rolled down her eyes also. On her part, she had tried to help Oleng by taking her to traditional doctors who were specialists in such matters. They had given Oleng herbs that she had taken religiously but had still not conceived much to their surprise. One had suggested that the fault might be from Dave and had mixed a concoction for him too which he had taken religiously also yet Oleng hadn’t conceived. They had admitted the case was beyond them then. Aunt Vien had turned to God yet her niece’s stomach was still as flat as ever. She felt so sorry for her. Why was life so cruel? So unfair? This girl had gone through a lot in life.

Oleng took a sick leave from her place of work. She knew Dave would be back the next day but she switched off her phone. She was willing for him to find out she had been thrown out by his family on his own. He called Aunt Vien the day he was due back when he couldn’t reach her but Aunt Vien lied that the network was poor.

Oleng was in the living room with tears gathered in her eyes from watching a pampers advert on television when she had a round of knocks on the door. She knew intuitively that it was Dave because he was due back that evening. She ran to her old room. It was Aunt Vien who opened the door at the persistent knocks.

“Yes? Why do you want to break down my door?” she demanded curtly.

“I’m sorry, Aunt Vien. Where’s Oleng?” he asked desperately but she stared at him in anger.

“I’m sorry for my lack of manners. Good evening Aunt Vien. Please is Oleng here?” He tried to control himself.

“And what if she is? You want to take her back there so your family can humiliate her again, ehn?”

“No, Aunt Vien. Please it’s not like that. I’ve sent them parking. I threw them out of my house. Please let me see Oleng. Please.”

Shock registered in Aunt Vien's eyes at what he just said. “You mean you threw your mum out of your house?”

“No. She chose to leave when I threw my sisters out of the house. When I came back to the house with so much joy at the thought of seeing my angel, I was both sad and disappointed to see my family there. They ignited my anger when they told me they had thrown out my wife in my absence and without my consent. Michelle even dared to hold me back when I wanted to rush down here immediately they told me. She’ll have to see a doctor for the sound slap I gave to her.

I didn’t mean for my mum to leave because I wanted to talk to her without the poisonous influence of my sisters but she made me choose between her and my wife and naturally, I chose my wife, so she left my house in anger when I threw my sisters out.
Oleng means more to me than three of them put together. Oleng is my reason for living today. She is the reason why I am alive today but they don’t understand that. I had to choose Oleng instead of them. Besides, my mother already has two grandchildren and two more are even on the way.” he narrated squarely.

His wife’s aunt just stared at him dumbfounded.

“Aunt Vien, please can I see Oleng? Please I really need to see her. To assure her that the fact that they threw her out means nothing and I’ll stand by her no matter what. Please let me see her.”

“I can’t. She won’t see you so don’t bother.”

“Please let me see her and talk to her. Aunt Vien, please you have to help me. I love her very much. She's my life. Please.” He pleaded desperately.

“Don’t waste your time here anymore because she’s no longer interested in continuing the marriage with you.” she angrily informed him.
