"I'm not moving to the guest room for her..." I heaved my voice against his whisper. "Please dear you have to understand..." Busayo's whisper thickened. "Understand what?" I retorted angrily. "You are a disgrace to husbands. Ehm Busayo! Have you forgotten so soon?"

"Where then do you want them to stay?" The tone of his voice depicts, he was getting infuriated and that was what I wanted.

"They can sleep outside for all I care... See Busayo you married me legally. I am not going to allow one prostitute take over my matrimonial home... A home I built and I've maintained for years. Tufiakwa..." I spoke dramatically. "See Lara I've been patient with you. Don't make me lose that patience..." He spoke calmly like a typical pacifist Busayo. For a moment I was drawn to concede but snaps out of it and spoke erratically opposite: "They said that a man that stops wearing trousers and starts wearing skirts, should beware of the consequences that comes with it... I am not the gullible woman you married years ago. This fight eehn there are no winners only people fighting..."

He angrily walked out of the room and aggressively slammed the door behind him...

LMAO.... nice continuation.

She sank into the chair and gaped at him……..

She didn’t believe he could do this to her after 6 years of convincing her that she had nothing to worry about, that he would wait no matter how long it took, that they could always adopt, then this.

“Stop looking at my son like that!” His mother shouted. “Isn’t it your fault he had to go outside? Is it his fault you aren’t woman enough to do what even goats do? Ordinary miscarriage you cannot have…. Shioor….Okunrin ninu obinrin!!” She finished derisively.

All through Busayo just stood by the door wringing his hands together like an innocent child, pleading with his eyes, the presence of his 3 years old twins proof of his fake promises year after year and his lies from the pit of hell.

Her father-in- law sat quietly beside his older daughter and his wife who he let take the reins as usual. On her beautiful three seater sat her other sister -in-law with the iyawo and twins- who looked remarkably like her husband- she was supposed to accept with arms wide open.

She couldn’t fight, she was weak, broken, disillusioned. He was the one person who had given her strength through this journey of searching for a child and now to leave her like this, naked, alone, betrayed and horribly let down.

Then she buried her tears and broken heart like a woman and smiled at all of them like the good wife they expected her to be,

“Thank you my in laws, you have done what elders should do. Welcome to the family Bolajoko…” and facing the children “welcome Taiwo and Kehinde, may God bless all of us and bring more children into this home oh”

“Amen!” Her father and sisters- in- law chorused enthusiastically, Bolajoko smiled in relief and her mother in law nodded in approval, seemingly pacified. Only her husband looked shocked and it was to him she gave the look…

Enjoy this moment of peace, her eyes said, for they will not last……

This is a great story OP, i just feel sooo sad right now.
The reality is that things like this happen all the time....

THE DEVIL'S BARGAIN

You didn't invite me oh, but i am here.


Does this mean Lauratu came back?

Misery loves company

His life was over, he thought, depressed. He had lost his job, wife and children.

Then he heard his neighbors fighting again and their children crying miserably.

He picked up the gun angrily and went to their door.

He would end it for all of them. None would wake tomorrow.

I am sorry but is it against the rules to ask how to canvass for votes? I really don't know how its done.

Nairaland should have an "How to" section...







cc Divepen

Audreytimms, thank you so much for retaining me. I kinda already lost heart because i don't really know how to solicit for likes and shares. Imagine my surprise when i logged in today to find out you put me through to the next round. Thank you

HELPLESS

She heard the door open; it was too dark to see anything but she knew who entered.

She felt her father sit on her bed and she shut her eyes against the tears leaking, he put his hands on her exposed thighs and whispered “baby, are you awake?”

She never wanted to wake up again……

REGRET





He had killed his wife! He looped the rope around his neck and kicked the stool. As he died, he saw her roll over. She didn’t die afterall!

THE STAND

I moved around the room with tears streaming down my face, packing what I would take with me. I was leaving my husband of 9 years for good.

My first daughter had turned 8 some months ago; my husband’s family came and insisted a circumcision must be done for her to live long. Female circumcision?

I refused, I cried, my husband said nothing, with no one on my side, they won, the circumcision was done.

My daughter’s screams that night still haunt me. Now, they were back for my 7 years old twin girls……. they would not meet us. Tufiakwa!
