Tanks... Plz more , asin now

I hope she will leave jidenna final

But come ooo, shey Dara go go like DAT ni. She suppose hear wetin den talk 4 village na...


Chai, jidenna self.

Am so feeling sorry for Dara.

Gianaaaaaa u r a writer indeed. Keeping us in suspense. Please come n kwantinue d story

I'm thrilled, the story is really getting interested. Thank God for Cassie, she just made me appreciate good friends the more.

What type of a man/husband is Jidenna? In your presence your brother was manhandling your wife and you stood there without saying or doing anything. You're a disappointment

U guys shouldn't blame jidenna dt much remember Dara has been on loggerheads with her in-laws so its natural 4 jidenna to suspect her a bit. As for Cassie she never even solve her problem finish and she dy carry oda ppl matter for head like gala

Well done op u are doing a great work

Well done Gianaaaaaa, you just laid out things that typically happen in our society. Everyone has his/her own issues in life. The difference is how we solve them. Let me vex small, Dara is not in a marriage, she's in deep shit. A partner who could suspect her for hurting his mom could easily believe any other thing as long as it's plausible. Whatever happened to "to have and to hold". Yoruba people will say "ti a ba n sunkun, a maa ri'ran", meaning crying does not mean we have lost our eyesight. The man has no excuse for not standing up for his wife, even when the opponent is his family.

DARA

Nene gasped looking at her frail friend, she couldn't believe that the once bubbly Dara had lost her liveliness. "Dara what happened?" she asked a look of pity on her face.

It was the look Dara hated the most, she didn't need pity from anyone. That was the major reason Dara didn't tell her friends or anyone else what had been going down in her house.

"Her bloody husband and his family have been maltreating her" Cassie said.

"That's enough Cassie, can we not talk about it. Please I just need a shut eye right now" Dara held up her hand.

"Let me get you a pill and a glass of water. Something to make you sleep well, you look really worn out" Nene offered.

"Thank you Nene" Dara said with a small smile.

"I can't believe the nerve of that guy, anyway I don't blame him. It's the man of the house I blame" Cassie hissed.

"Cassie would you let it be? you shouldn't talk about Jidenna that way, he's still my husband" Dara snapped.

"Are you for real, a husband who would let his junior brother manhandle his wife. What kind of husband is that? If I hadn't taken you out of the house imagine what they would have done to you. By the way, how come you never told me what was happening?" Cassie asked looking upset.

"Because of the way you're acting now, I just told you I don't want to talk about it and you're still bringing it up. Cassie please let it go, can't you see how much I'm hurting already?" Dara yelled at her.

"I'm sorry" Cassie muttered. Nene came back after a few minutes with a bottle of sleeping pills and a bottle of water. "Here, help yourself" Nene said handing pill and the water to Dara.

"Thanks Nene" Dara smiled. "No problem, you can use my bedroom. Dara I don't think you should go back to that house for now, why don't you stay here for sometime till everything dies down" Nene suggested.

"That's my decision to make, right now my head isn't in the right place. Let me sleep" Dara frowned. Won't they just stop bugging her?

She dropped the bottle of water and the pills on the table before heading to Nene's bedroom upstairs. Drowsiness set in immediately she laid on the bed, she let the wave of sleep take her.


'Is she still asleep?'......'Shush, you'll wake her up'.
'She's been asleep for hours, she needs to wake up and eat something. I doubt she had anything yesterday'.

The continuous murmurs woke Dara up, her eyes slowly took in her surroundings before she remembered what had happened the previous day.
", how do you feel?" Cassie asked immediately she noticed Dara was awake.
"I need water" Dara said In a throaty voice.

Nene quickly handed her friend the bottle of water by the bed side.
"You girls need to stop fussing over me, I'm a grown aśś woman. Nene shouldn't you be worried about your baby's health" Dara said after gulping down the water in the bottle.

"My baby is fine!" Nene snapped.
"I don't mean to sound ungrateful, I just don't want to be a burden. I'm not the first married woman with marital problems" Dara said.

"We all have problems but Dara have you seen yourself? That's enough to keep us on our toes. You're a sister to me, your problem is my problem. I won't let you face it alone" Cassie insisted.

Dara smiled and nodded. At least there were still some people who cared about her. People who would trust her no matter what, something Jidenna had failed too. Her chest bubbled with hurt again.

"Can I have a phone please, I think it's time I call my parents" Dara said.
"Sure, use mine" Nene offered handing her Dara her phone.
Dara collected the device and dialed in her mother's number.
Her mother answered at the first ring.

"Hello"
"Hello mummy, it's Dara" Dara began.
"Dara, Dara! Dara what happened to your phone. I've been calling you since yesterday, you've not been answering" Her mother said.
"I was not with my phone, I'm sorry about that" Dara said calmly.
"That's fine, Your father and I wanted to talk to you. Jidenna called yesterday and said he was coming to see us tomorrow, he kept it brief but he said it was really important" Her mother said.

Dara panicked, why did Jidenna want to see her parents.
"The way he sounded had me worried. He's never been so short with me. Is there a problem?" her mother asked.
"Mummy, I'll be coming to Ibadan straight away. We will talk when I get there" Dara said.
"Okay, no problem. I'll be expecting you, take care honey" her mother said.
Dara ended the call.

"Jidenna is going to Ibadan tomorrow, I should be there too. I only pray that my brothers aren't around" Dara shook her head.
"Go take a shower, I'll drop you off at the park" Cassie said.
"Thank you C, I only hope this matter doesn't escalate. You know how my brothers can be" Dara said.
"Whatever Jidenna gets that's what he deserves" Cassie hissed.

Dara sighed and shook her head, didn't they understand that whatever that would happen would affect her big time?
