Drabeey:
Chapter 4 and last



We kept praying you won't lose that pregnancy....

I love you to stupor honey, i was ready to kill anyone, i repeat anyone just to make you mine.
Our wedding wasn't even talk of town, but talk on mouths of selected few.

Except from the beads we bought from Madureira, it costed a lot than getting the local ones here. We argued back and front but you won. How many time have i won arguments with you sef?
Maybe twice or so.

When people starts trooping into that hall, i got so afraid that i had to start regretting why we didn't make the wedding strictly by invitation. Your dad wanted it free, i couldn't say otherwise.

The arrangement we made with the caterer was only 600 people. I still wonder how a hall of 500 seats could take more than 600 people's food. She agreed to give 50more if we'd pay for 550. Well, your dad and i no wan hear say food finish, me especially.
In no time they said food has finished, meanwhile some important people just came in and there was no food to serve them. Member of staffs at my work came late, was after they said the food has finished. I was angry and ready to slap that caterer if she wouldn't bring out tge food they had stolen.
As if you know those caterer's gimmicks,
You just made a call and voila, food don yapa again. Without me knowing, you had arranged for another 150peoples food in case of emergencies just like this.
Bravo, i dash you salute.
You surprised me again, You are truly a genius my 'Science'.
So many times i have doubted you but you proved me wrong, my fear was also that you'd be the husband, and i might end up a wife [/b]. I know you kept complaining that why I should never think like that. You blamed it on the friends i moved with then, but babe your attitudes proved no difference.

How could i be so heartless and devilish to the marrow? Am i not a human being? Or maybe i was just plainly wicked.

You and i know I don't keep much friends, the selected few i had, kept warning me about you!
They know how you are always hard on me whenever we have issues. Our malice no dey less than 2month. Haba, how long na?


We must fight sha ni. As if that wasn't enough, you gave me bad name with my family members, i no dey rest if we ever quarell. You are too rigid on me most time we fought. Anytime we have an heated argument you won't stop until i say sorry at that point, your speciality was for me to go on my kneels. To what point babe? Remember the day i broke your car side mirror?
It was in front Shola and Peace... We got back to your salon as soon as we can. By my calculation from Ojota to Airport and back shouldn't be more than 3hours hold traffic jam or no traffic jam... I had left since 11am But we came back around 5pm...... You don balance for me, i greeted you, it was as if i defecated on my own body. You wouldn't even wait till we get home before raising your voice at me, you snatched your keys and went straight to the vehicle then you saw the broken mirror. You came back and started pronouncing names on me.... That was in front of your staffs Shola and Peace, one other new girl was there. You no get respect for me whenever you are angry. If shouting at me in front of your girls has become normal, My friend, Spade was also there, Someone you've never met. I went to pick him from the airport. He was even greeting you but you wouldn't notice, you're so busy telling me how i spoilt my own car and wanted to spoil yours. You reminded me how i spent the money i promised you on a lady i never met. You couldn't even realise Spade has been there trying to calm you. I wouldn't want my friend start thinking you are a bad person. I quickly gave you your antidote, it was so shameful for me that day honey i knelt down for you. You walked away, i knew that as the normal routine, so i quickly turned the whole thing into a drama like a clown. I invited my friend to come see my 'olori laafin'. He came and you went straight on your knees to beg him. You held his legs to forgive you. He was surprised, not only him you came and dashed me a hug and kiss. You melt my heart in an instant!
Honey, those periods we quarrelled and keep malice was when i committed those atrocities too, Including this one that broke everything.

Honey, I keep missing those Celene Dion's tracks we mime to together. She was your favourite artist.

My plenty crime was trusting you enough to operate my phone anyhow. Had i not dropped it where you saw it. You wouldn't have opened my yansh in front of my friend and your staffs, those insolent girls! You checked my chat and saw where i promised a lady 50k. Truly I've never met her in person.
Don't you later regretted your actions too, when you realised the money i promised you was only spent on a business? I never met that lady and she didn't get a dime from me, that was just social media flirts.
Why dont you even give me some evidence of doubts? Any of Our heated quarell must turn to malice if i fail to beg you profusely or go on my knees, even in public Ayinke.
How many times have we come back from our numerous fight that wouldn't last nothing less than two months if not more.

Babe you and i know what i hated most is having you tell me one stupid word like that. 'Don't argue with me', why i no go argue with you, when i know I'm right and you're wrong? You can't be right every time. Bragging on your intellectual prowess as if we no go school.
I just have to keep quiet most times because i wouldn't want to escalate the issues that i know would lead to fight, same thing i did that day i broke your mirror.

The last 5 years my life before i went to...... was filled with sweet new winds, those 'insufficient funds' days became history. I know life has been easy for you dear.... I had never known life was so sweet until i met you. Your star worked with mine. It was like magic, i got money from near and far. I legitimately made money and several others. 'To get a good woman like you man got a lot of works to do....You got that spirit wey my star dey like'.

This paper is getting softer, i need to stop now not to totally ruin the sheets.


How could i have known that bitch got pregnant after we got married. She was sent to ruin me. You are 7weeks pregnant already, i couldnt call off the wedding anymore. I had to conceal and find another way to deal with her. I thought all she wanted was money before. I offered her some money but she kept insisting, she even ran away. I couldn't get in touch with her anymore. I kept looking for her till we got married. I only saw her the day mum called me to come home. She was already 3months heavy.

Your mum called you that day that she was coming to visit.
She wouldn't expect you to say no, because we all planned it, including my own mum. They are coming to inform you i have another person carrying my baby! I knew it all but acted as if i didn't. You kept asking why they both wanted to come same time. You thought they are only coming to pray for us.... And there i was acting as if i no know.... conscience wan kill me throway that day!

I had pleaded with them especially your mum to let me handle the whole issue, i had a perfect plan before that whole mess, but she wouldn't agree. She really wanted to tell you that word 'i told you so'.

What kind of mother do that to her own daughter? Well, maybe one. Your own step mother. It was always a painful story you don't like telling. Your mum died only when you are 3years old. Your father's wills are all in your name except few, yet your step mum had no daughter. Infact the only two sons she has are busy gallivanting up and down doing illegitimate businesses. I remember the day your immediate brother came to me, i thought he came to say reasonable thing, he told me to bring customers to him. He buys gift cards, dumbass!

Immediately you heard the news, you collapsed, and i only got to see you at the hospital.
The male doctor that wouldn't stop looking at me with one yeye eye said you lost the baby due to the shock. He told me there are no other complications, so you can go home. If i had known i would have left you in that hospital.

You wouldn't talk to me throughout the cruise home. You kept singing one song that kept me crying inside. It was a yoruba song.
Dide Jesu dide ooo
Dide ki o ran mi lowo
Oro yi koja temi ooo
Dide ma se damida
Meaning...
Rise, Jesus rise
Rise and help me
This matter is above my powers
Rise, dont leave me alone!

Strong yoruba words coming from an Edo girl like you, well you grew up in Lagos.

Cleanliness they say is next to godliness, you made me get closer to God. I kept asking God why he punished you by giving you me. A load lot of good guys out there looking for a rare radium like you! Why, why?
I was only trying to collect that knife from you, i couldnt have believed you could hurt a fly. You are ready to stab directly to my heart, but i tried wrestling the knife from you, then you twisted it to your own sef and we both stabbed you in the belly.

"Honey stand up, i need you now more than ever. Touch me once more Adunfe mi. . Please wake up and call me 'Layiwola sumondere' like you always do. I can't survive this...." Was all i kept saying to you while you lay down there as if it wasn't you we just finished speaking. I already promised you to deal with the issue. How could you do this, how could i have known that silence was fishy? You kept smiling as life slips out of you bit by bit.

They said i have to die too. Babe, you can't imagine the rumour i heard. People are saying i killed you because i know all your dad's property becomes mine when you die. I don't know why people don't reason. I want to take your dad's wealth while he is still alive? People with bad mouths. I had always missed you babe. I want to meet you soon, I'm done with the puzzle you said. Yinka told me about it, but i couldn't still understand how to go about it before i killed you. 2years I've been here behind bars and finally i was able to send you this letter before meeting you in person again, the hangman gave me some extra time to write this letter to you my love. I'm sorry for all I've done, well i rather say that to you personally. Please wait where i would see you soon. You know I don't like you keeping me waiting. I promise i will always cherish what i have if I ever had it again.
Yours in love
Olayiwola.


Meanwhile before Layiwola died, he told me to reveal this secret. He couldn't write anymore, his face was now dry. He was able to get that inner peace. He said "the other lady .....
He died while trying mutter some words. I went close to him and heard his last words clearly.
He said...
"this is a pure work of fiction by drabeey".
