she didn't regret her marriage at that moment any bit, she couldn't rein in her joy as she just let the music take over her and soothe her nerves, while she ignored the anger and irritation on Jide's face. 'He won't spoil my fun, not this time around' she thought happily as she danced away her sorrows.

**********
Daisy waved sadly at the Olukoyas as they boarded their car back home while Jide waited impatiently for her in his car. The normal thing would have been to go the Family house to celebrate proper, but counting on Jide's acceptance was a tall order, so that would pass.

Mama had promised to send in her clothes and phone later that day and she found herself wishing that she could drive home with them instead.

As she climbed beside the visibly irritated Jide, she wondered what fate had in stock for her in her forever after.

Jide zoomed off without as much as a glance or word to her.

That night again, he slept on the settee in the parlour.

*************
chapter 3 ends

*****************
The atmosphere was still cooking with a kind of angry heat, when mama,
Daisy and Jumoke walked in. As Jide had noted, Daisy was wearing her share of the family uniform, though her hers fitted her perfectly and highlighted her curves. The clock showed the time to be 9:10. Yet Noone
in the parlor was making a move.

The entrants quietly went to seat on different settee in the parlor,
they too didn't know what to say or do. As they sat, each to his
thought, Jide looked different, he hadn't taken his bath neither was he on the uniformed attire.

Daisy had noticed a sort of glint in Jide eyes, in the split second he
had paid them a cursory look when they came in, his eyes had lingered on her for more than required, and that her unsettled her a bit. Later, on
her seat she translated it to mean admiration or at worse, a figment of her hazy imaginations. She wasn't sure, 'Must still be the juice' she thought.

Noone said anything for the next few minutes and the silence was
deafening, everybody was tired of the mulish Jide, His was a case of
taking a horse to the stream and then leaving the drinking part totally to the exigencies of the horse for Jide still didn't show concern one
bit as his gaze fixed on the Tele.

Mama spoke now, she was visibly angry. If everyone kept their peace, Jide would end up having his way and today would be a total waste,
Though Jumoke had called one of her usher friend at the church to shift
their thanksgiving to the second service, the service was already
30 minutes underway! What kind of defiance was jide putting up? she thought fighting hard to contain her anger.

'Jide' she started 'please for the sake of Abike...' Abike was his
deceased mum '...and for the sake of the love and respect you ever had
for me and your dad, wole ko lo we, jó omo mi, jó ... am begging!'
(enter go and bath please, my child pls) mama said with the softest
voice she could mutter, 'cos inside she was burning hot. It was very
obvious that Jide wouldn't respond to force, best to try the pleading way.

'Don't bring mum into this issue' came jide's curt reply few minutes
later, as if he had been contemplating.

Everyone kept mute, even mama. And after what seemed like ages, Jide switched off the television, stood up, hissed and muttered something, before storming out of the parlour.

Silence still.

Some minutes later, Jide resurfaced, he'd taken his bath and was wearing
a black shirt on a jean trouser, he was also putting on a black speck,
every eyes turned on him but he said nothing to his family, he just went past them outside.

An impatient horn from Jide outside jolted them from their inertia, they quietly stood up and walked out, noone uttered a word. On the chair sat
the bag containing Jide's Ankara cloth, it would obviously rot there
forever, Daisy thought rather amused, this husband of hers was
definitely a character.

********
Minutes later, they arrived at the headquarters of Love Word Assembly
situated in Ikeja, mama had insisted on riding in Jide's car, even
though he disagreed. Mama had said she could not take any chance with
him, if not he would do something st.u.pid like dropping Daisy along the
road and zooming off elsewhere, after much persuasion accompanied with
another family drama in the compound, Jide grudgingly accepted.

Their thanksgiving kicked off not long after they arrived for they came
in quite late but in the nick of time. The family had hardly settled
down when the Olukoyas family was announced to come for their wedding
thanksgiving. Mama immediately got busy, soon, relatives and family were
dancing to the altar with huge tubers of Yam, mama could not contain
her joy, she danced from one corner to the other shaking her behind, she
would dance front and dance back even to the amusement of the
congregation.

Jide felt so sill.y in the midst of his uniformed family, it turned out
to be that some of their relative were also wearing the same Ankara
material, he was angry, irritated and mortified, if not for the presence
of a large congregation, he would have simply left. Mama's dancing was
irritating him the more, she was dancing like she was the one who had
wedded not him, Daisy on her part was all smiles and was shaking her
body lightly to the praises being sang by the choir, not only her but
all his family, his sister, father, brother, the relatives and well
wishers from the church, he wondered if there was another reason this
people were happy about if not the obvious? He just couldn't wait to be
out of these clowns known as his family.

Daisy on her part was having a good time, she had atfirst felt silly about the uniformed clothes everyone was wearing, soon she got used to it, even loved it, 'another reason to love the yorubas' she thought. She noticed her aunty and waved, her aunty waved back, she was part of the entourage of thanks givers, Daisy felt welcomed and at home in the midst of them all.

'It's gone now, am okay. Twas because i missed my nightly dose of juice'
she said in truth, maybe all of Mama's rant had somehow paid off afterall.

'juice? but they was more than enough at the wedding and You should have
told Jide to get you some...'

'yeah right' Daisy snorted cutting into Mama speech. she wont be surprise if she got acid instead.

Mama was still looking her over, she's like a mother hen when it
concerns Daisy'.

'Mo wa pa!' Daisy exclaimed in a funny Yoruba accent and hugged Mama.

'you should worry about the clothes i will wear when i take my bath, all my...'

'oh, that has been taken care of, Jumoke is with it in the parlor, just get prepared'

'okay' Daisy said, blew Mama a kiss and bounded off into the bathroom.

Mama smiled inspite of her initial anger, this was another reason why she so loved Daisy.

*************
Down in the parlour, Jide hadn't found it easier either.

A loud knock on his door earlier had jolted him from his slumber,
opening it, he was surprised to see his dad, grandmother, Yemi, his
immediate younger brother and Jumoke, his sister at the door.

He had totally forgotten that it was Sunday and his supposed
thanksgiving service. But then what's there to thank God about, he
thought drily.

His family were not smiling one bit, well, so wasn't he.

Shaking his head and with a disgusted look he said:

'Hail the pack of trouble' and walked away to go lie back on the settee.

'Is that supposed to be a greeting or what?' his father asked

'or what' he muttered

'Omo de yi ti baje tan' put in mama almost shouting. She was also
clapping her hands.

Yemi and Jumoke left the bickering 'grown ups' to go sit down.

'Really Mama, keep your voice down, you don't wanna wake the whole damn
neighbourhood' Jide said angrily, mother and son were at it again. He
thought

'what kind of lazy neighbours sleep till this time and on a Sunday too?
Mama retorted. no more clapping.

'My friend, just quietly go inside, take your bath and prepare, time is
not on our side' his father said, he was sitting now.

'prepare for what?' came Jide's curt reply

'its your wedding thanksgiving service for God's sake!' his father
replied, his voice high.

Jide laughed briefly, this family of his were really something. He'd be
darned if he moved an inch or dance to their tune, not this time around.
Thanksgiving Ko, praisegiving ni.

'What am i going to thank God for? For a wedding that was forced on me?
Or for a family that is driving me insane?' his voice had risen.

'I don't have your time, Nibo ni Daisy wa na?' mama had said angrily and
walked off to go find Daisy.

'Kilonshe gbogbo awon omode yi?' his dad thundered.

'look Dad, am a grown man, you don't just come to my house to tell me
what to do, havnt you done enough already?' he asked, really pissed.

'Yemi give him his cloth, look at the time, we are supposed to have been
in church by now, in an hour time, the service would end, will they
wait for us specially'. Jide's dad said, as if Jide had not spoken. He
was middle aged, bulky and almost as tall as Jide who stood on 5'7.

'Its okay! if you think you can order me around like a child, we shall
see where it ends!' Jide said shouting.

Yemi tossed the bag he had been holding at Jide, he really didn't envy
Jide now with father at his back, they were both stubborn and he
wondered whose turf would hold.

Jide, out of curiosity, opened the bag that was tossed at him. Soon His
face held a deriding smile, inside was a cloth exactly the same material
with that which his family were wearing, he guessed Daisy would wear
just the same Ankara material, he never doubted that she would gladly
without resistance adorn it, well that was her business, his was making
sure he was not caught dead on this uniformed cloth with his annoying
family trotting like an i.diot in front of a large congregation to go
thank God for nothing spectacular he could name. No sir, he won't!

'you guys got all the bloody nerves' he said rather calmly and tossed
the bag back to Yemi.

'did you actually expect me to wear that? Jide, wear the Ankara with...'

He stopped midway, it was really not worth the trouble to keep the word
exchange, he would just stay and watch who was gonna force the cloth on
him and he would show that person a piece of his mind.

His mind set, he picked up his remote to switch on his television.

Noone pushed further, even his dad rested resignedly on the chair while
jumoke rose to go meet Daisy and Mama in the room. The guys could tear
themselves up for all she cared.

oh guys am really encouraged by all of your comments, and Frank...you can borrow just the line.

repogirl...thanks for the slack.

Chapter 3.
Daisy woke up rather late this morning for she was an early riser, the
bed-side clock showed the time to be 7:30am, but Daisy made no move to
stand, instead she curled up further into the blanket, she was feeling
sick and her head really hurts. This was an aftermath of skipping her
nightly dose of juice and as she had predicated, the consequence had
been grave, it shook her like an earthquake.

She had all but consciously walked to the kitchen at about 2am earlier
that morning for that was the time the craving begins. Still not fully
awake, she searched the fridge and cupboards looking for Juice, it was
minutes later that it dawned on her that She wasn't in her apartment in
Boston.

But by then, the kitchen was a mess, things were out of their place and
sprawled on the floor while cupboards and cabinets lay open. Daisy
didn't care, she remembered then that she had searched before so she
just walked like a zombie to her room, half noticing Jide who was
snoring away, oblivious of the noise she had made.

When she got back to the room, her trouble doubled, for minutes later,
she started sweating profusely, her body shaking uncontrollably, the
worms gnawed at her intestine and she felt a sickening sensation, she
was a pile of wreck, more like a drug addict who didn't get a dose of
drug. She was deeply addicted to juice, her hungry stomach compounded
the problem and she found herself visiting the toilet to vomit now and
then, nothing came out for her stomach was more or less empty, but she
went back again nevertheless.


She couldn't sleep, for hours she just sat on the floor, her back
resting on the bed and her hands on her head. It was hours later that
sleep came knocking and slowly she had dragged herself to bed. The
reason she woke up late this morning.

Daisy now rolled to the other side of the bed, she was still queasy. She
suddenly remembered what Today was. Sunday! and it was their wedding
thanksgiving service, still she made no move to stand.

It wasn't as if there was anything to wear, and her phone wasn't with
her, in all of yesterday activities, she didn't know who she had given
it, and she was sure Jide wouldn't bother calling the family house.
Well, she wasn't feeling any better herself.

Soon she heard noises. She attuned her ears to it, it was coming from
the parlour.

'Kilonshe gbogbo awon omode yi!' someone had shouted.

She guessed it to be that of Jide's father, that must mean the family
were here she reasoned. Slowly she started rising up, but stopped when
the door flung open, and in came Mama.


'Daisy, what are you still doing in bed by now? It's almost eight, i
don't know you to be a late riser, first service will end by nine and we
are booked for then!...' Mama said, her voice rising with every
sentence, she was now by the bed.

Daisy was sitting down now, no movement, her expression blank. She
didn't reply either.

Mama felt her temper rising, if Jide was adamant, atleast not Daisy too.
Noone seem to care.

'kilo de?' she asked in yoruba.

Daisy said nothing, she just pulled the blanket up to her folded knee.
Mama pulled down the blanket and fuming still, said:

'O fe dami lo hun ni? See the time, its sharp eight, you nor Jide is
prepared, are you children bent on causing scandals?

'Daisy!' she shouted when Daisy still made no move to stand or reply
her.

Mama continued complaining in yoruba language, she did so, mostly when
she was angry, Daisy understood all she was saying, her 10 years stay in
the States hadn't eroded her knack for the language. she couldn't speak
it fluently but she understood it quite all right, she had been perfect
in the language due to her long stay in Ijebu-Ode with her grandmother
before she left for Boston to stay with her mother, though the years
took away her ability to speak yoruba fluently, Mama had made sure she
never lost the language totally. She often than not converse in yoruba
with her.

Mama was ranting on about how Jide was so ungrateful, how children of
nowadays were spoilt and disrespectful, how nobody seem to appreciate
her one bit, how Daisy seem to have joined in frustrating her and so
on...'

Inbetween all of mama's ranting, Daisy had slide down into the blanket
drawing it up to cover her face. You don't try arguing with Mama when
she was this way.

Having said her piece, mama sighed, her anger seem to have dissolved.
She now sat calmly on the bed.

When Daisy noticed Mama was no more talking, she stole a glance at her, peeping from beneath the blanket.

'coast clear' she said quietly to herself and pulled off the blanket.

Standing up she said 'Mama don't overwork yourself already, i was feeling sick then'

Mama immediately looked up from where she had bent her head wondering whether she didn't deserve how she was being treated.

'Sick! How? when? Why didn't you tell me...' she was now at Daisy side and touching her body.

Mama and her fussing, Daisy thought resignedly.

repogirl: @oyestephen, good to see you here, now its time to put
fire under princessa's you know what for a change.

Mrs Oliver twist......lol

check up from where you stopped, i modified the post. and that is where chapter 2 ends.

i appreciate you following.

chapter 2 continues......

Few minutes later, Daisy came out of the adjoining bathroom, draped in a
towel that hardly covered her, it was all she could find. The problem
of what to wear resurfaced. She looked at the disgusting pile of her
wedding gown.

'Ain't gonna be that' she muttered and marched to the wardrobe for more
exploration.

Few minutes later she was on Jide's T.shirt and walking down the hallway
to the parlor. Shontelle's 'Nothing but your T.shirt on' song was
playing in her mind. She found herself humming the song, Inspite of her
situation, well it described her perfectly she thought. She was totally
naked under this huge shirt of Jide's and oddly, she felt good about it,
his perfume, though faint, exuding from the shirt did wonders to her
nerves and she found herself thinking that everything might just be fine
afterall. Maybe she was feeling a little sexy too. This made her smile.
Daisy was a huge suckker for music, she didn't just love the rhythm, she
paid attention to the lyrics even learnt it. Every song, she had
reasoned address every life's experience, you just had to know when to
apply them and let the song massage and soothe your nerves. Her love for
music was so great that her mum her teased about it wondering why she
wanted to read nursing instead of music. That was long ago before she
passed away.

Daisy was now in the parlor, the light were switched off. Though light
from the windows illuminated it lightly. Jide was now sleeping and
snoring away though not loudly, he had moved to the bigger chair and,
television was off.

'so he even snores' she said to herself 'behind all those handsomeness'
she giggled walking to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, she stood, momentarily lost on why on why she had come.
Then it hit her. Juice! She came searching for juice. She walked to the fridge and opened it quickly.

Nothing! Just a few can of Star beer. She looked around, soon she was at the cupboard that hung up, even as she searched vigorously she knew it was futile. Whoever kept juice in cupboard she thought resignedly.

She was a bundle of nerves now, So much for feeling sexy and good a while ago. The night couldn't get any worse!

Daisy leaned upon the cooking platform, she felt a tear drop, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. How was she going to survive this Night when the cravings began, 'juice craziness' her mum had referred to it. Whatever it was, she never skipped it, the consequences were grave. But now she would, on her wedding night of all nights! She pitied herself and hated the love which so clouded her senses.

Minutes later when she walked past the sleeping Jide towards the hallway leading to the bedroom, she wished that none of her friends or family would ever dare gamble with love and take the chance her foolish self did.

chapter 2 ends........

Jide didn't reply immediately, he just
stretched forth his hand to pick up the remote where it sat. After which
he started pressing its buttons, midway in the act he spoke:

'Mrs Olukoya' he drawled sarcastically 'the kitchen is over there
through the dining and the bedroom is in the hallway behind that
curtain' he continued pressing the buttons of the remote without as much
as a glance towards Daisy.

'Besides...' he continued 'since this is technically now your home, i
expect you do the maths yourself and explore it the way you explored the
exterior' he completed, then placed the remote by his side, and
stretched himself on the chair, a sign that she was dismissed.

Daisy said nothing, so he had noticed? This was the longest he had ever
spoken to her since this issue started a month ago, but then again, they
hardly knew eachother well before the whole marriage ish began.

she quietly bent down, picked up her shoes and walked out of his
presence to go start her 'exploration'

Jide still didn't move, he felt his temper rising and was fighting hard
to control it. What was it about her that angered him so? He couldn't
fathom, It wasn't worth the trouble now, he mused waving his hands
mentally.

Daisy feet took her first to the kitchen, she was really hungry and any
food she saw now would be jackpot. But she was disappointed, the kitchen
was sparkling clean, but no food was in sight. She only saw an unopened
bag of rice, but didn't see any accompanying ingredient, but then she couldn't possibly cook now! Considering the time and the dress she was still wearing. Just then another issue hit her, what was she going to wear after she bathed? All her clothes were over at the family house in Victoria Island. This is gonna be a long night, she said to herself.

Thinking about this, she walked out into the dining, there she saw some beverages on the table, immediately then she wished she had braved up to tell Jide to buy that bread back then on the road. Oh well, she should be grateful for this atleast. She made herself a cold cup of tea after which she walked down to go explore the hallway.

****************
The hallway was dimly lit, they were four doors, two on both sides, Daisy wondered which, was the supposed bedroom, well explore he had said, and explore she would.

She went over to the door at her left, it was locked, 'can't be this' she said, then over to the right door opposite she went, the door gave in without a sound, she peeped inside, it was the bedroom. 'quick luck' she said as she walked in.

The room was sparsely decorated, the walls were painted white, a huge bed loomed in front of her, a large dressing mirror was close by and few steps away was the wardrobe. The room was neat, like every other part of the house, he must be a neatness freak she concluded.
