Chapter 2

Mom, If It's a joke, please stop it,” Dotun says, “do you know my financial status, do you know whether am capable of managing two homes?“ Dotun asked, “sorry to disappoint you mom, I can manage two homes,” Dotun says,

“Okay fine, If you can't manage two homes, you will have to divorce your wife,” his mom says,

“Mom, how can you advise me to divorce my wife?“ Dotun asked, my wife, Is not barren, she is just a victim of circumstances” Dotun says,

“Victim of what, the victim of witches or wizard or victim of the devil?“ his mom asked, “tell me which of them that was victimized her because human beings always blame them for their misdeed and their misfortunes” Dotun, tell me what is tormenting her spiritually?“ his mom asked,

“Please, let it be, for now, nothing is tormenting us, please and please, don't disturb my wife till we will return to the city and I don't want you to frustrate her, you know her to be a good lassie, and If you want me to be happy with you, don't make my wife unhappy,” Dotun says, and he opened the door and stepped out of her mother's room, and she returned to her wife, and he met her lonely and cold, “sweetheart, how are you? “ Dotun says,

“am not fine, please take me back to Lagos,” Deja said,

“but we came for festival and merriment has not even started and you said that we should go back to the city, 'common' babe, we need to enjoy this festive period, this is the only time that the youths and the friends used to meet and relate with each other, please let us enjoy this moment, It's used to be Interesting” Dotun says,

“how many days do you want me to stay under the pressure of your family?“ Deja says,

“I don't know how many days could you afford to spend under the pressure,” Dotun asked,

“If I may answer your question, I can't afford to stay a second In this house” Deja retorted,

“Please don't do like that, you will have to tolerate her for my sake,” he says, “I believe that you love me,” Dotun says, “do you love me?“ Dotun asked,

“yes, I love you,” Deja says,

“I love you too my darling, nothing can come in between us till eternity, not even my mother can separate us, I will continue to love you more and more, and If Almighty wants he will reinstall your womb and he will make It new again, and you will carry our child In your womb and we will become a proud parent,” Dotun says,

“I believe there is nothing Almighty can not do, he that created Heaven and earth and also created me and you, and he that separated skies and the ground, and made us walked on the ground, I believe that the Almighty Creator can do It for us, he will surely make us a proud parents,” Deja said, and Dotun held her and kissed her,

. A few hours later when Dotun went to the village square to meet with some of his friends, Deja shared the gift that she brought from the city with all the members of her husband's family, all of them were delighted and received the gift with a good heart but her mother in the law rejected the gift and, “don't bribe me with the gift, I have a lot of gift at home, the only gift I request from you is grandchildren, promise me that you will give beautiful grandchildren next coming festivals” Dotun's mother says,

. . “please, take your gift, and pray for us to bring your grandchild next festival,” Deja says,

. “Alright, keep the gift with you next year, If you're coming next year and you are coming with my grandchild, you can come along with the gift, but today, I won't take any gift from you,” Dotun's mom says, “and where is your husband?“ Dotun's mom says,

“ he has gone to meet his friends at the village square,” Deja says,

“Good, he will at least mingle with his friend's wives and children that will let him be encouraged to take another wife” she murmured and left her inside her room, and Deja later steps out to visit her parents, “mom, good day,” Deja said,

“Welcome my daughter,” her mom said, “how are you and your husband?“ her mom asked,

“we are fine” Deja says, “and how Is Desola?“ Deja asked,

She has gone to visit her friends” her mom retorted,

“How are your siblings,” Deja said,

“They were there with their troubles,” her mom says, “there is a wedding coming up soon,” her mom says,

“How Is your mother In law, hope she Is not given you problems?“ her mom inquired,

She has not given me a problem only that she wants grandchildren” Deja says,

“There is no how she won't be worried, a marriage of many years without fruits, my dear, It is not easy but Almighty will remember you for good and I believe that miracle will manifest in your life, you will become a proud mother,” her mom says,

“I believe in the miracle of Almighty but I have a slim chance to become a mother because of what happened back then,” Deja said,

“I understand but don't limit yourself, miracle can still occur In your life,” her mom said,

“thank you mom,” Deja says,

When Dotun arrived home and he didn't see his wife at home, he went to meet his mom, “where Is Deja?“ Dotun asked,

“Am I her keeper?“ she asked, tell me good stories that I have been expecting to hear?“ his mom says, “did see any beautiful girl that make me fulfilled as a grandmother?“

“Please, mom, I don't have an answer to your question,” Dotun says, “did you send her an errand?“ Dotun asked,

“I didn't send her any errands, and I don't know where she Is,” his mom says, “she didn't tell me where she was going,” his mom says,

“Okay, am coming,” Dotun says, and she steps out of the house and entered his car, and drives slowly along the road heading towards his wife's parent's house, when he wanted to make a turn to his wife's parents house, he saw his wife's sister Desola and Doyin her cousin, standing across the road waiting for bike, and he stopped, “Desola did you see your sister?“ Dotun asked,

“Is she around?“ Desola asked,

“yes, we came a few hours ago, and I don't know where she Is” Dotun explained,

“maybe she might have gone to see our mom,” Desola says,

“where are you going?“ Dotun asked,

“We are going to our house” Desola retorted,

“Okay, come, let me drop you at home, though am going to your house to check If my wife Is there,” Dotun says, and he opens the car door for them while waiting for them,

“thank you,” Desola says, and the two of them crossed the road and entered into the car Dotun drove them to his father-in-law's house where he met his wife sitting comfortably with her mother gisting, and he parked his car in front of the house and he came out of the car and he opened the car's door for Desola and Doyin, they came out of the car, and they all walked side by side to the house,
