Please for for my story "Mama Wouldn't Approve"

Who else has the audacity to knock on my door so loudly apart from Rukky? She probably came to makeup for not showing up yesterday at the joint where we booze with friends. Because of her absence, I had to sleep alone on a Friday night, first time in a long time. She is my kind of girl who simply wants to have fun, with marriage as the last thing on her mind.
But Mama wouldn’t approve. She has been drumming into my ears how much she wants me to settle down and give her grandchildren.
‘Your mates in the village have fathered several children but you stay there in Lagos wasting your precious seed on loose girls,” she had said over the telephone. “Haba! My back is aching to carry my grandchildren o. If it is about the right girl, don’t worry. I’ve noticed a number of them here in the village and have begun speaking to their families. I know your work will not allow you come down here for the rites, but don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.”
I feel the stab of a terrible headache as I move, a hangover from yesterday’s outing with the boys. I can’t even remember how I drove back home.

I walk woozily to the door, wearing nothing but my flimsy underwear that does little to cover my ample morning glory. I fumble for a while with the keyhole before I eventually open the door. The sight that meets my eyes almost gives me a heart attack. Mama and a dark-skinned village girl with a ridiculous hairdo standing at my doorpost. I swallowed hard. Mama has fulfilled her threats. She has married a wife for me.
