2024-08-08 20:45:47After a minute, I decided to get so as not to give her high BP. I stood up, she started saying thank you Jesus, waving her hands to heaven
"Baby you scared me, I thought you are gone" she said. "You thought I was gone? So that's what you want. U want to ki-ll me" I said. "No. baby I'm sorry". I didn't listen to her, I just carried the blanket and pillow straight to the sitting room to sleep. She followed me. "Baby I'm sorry naw, I'm sorry" she pleaded." Ify just leave me alone please" I said. "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" she begged.
"Okay I've heard you but this is where I want to sleep tonight" I insisted. She tried to convince me to go back to the room but I refused. "Ify just go and sleep I'm fine". I said. "Are you sure?" she asked. "yes I'm sure just go" I replied.
"I love you" she said. "I love you too..... but go and sleep" I responded.
Ever since that day my wife has calmed down oday marks 9 months since my wife took in.
We were together in the kitchen, I was cooking and she was assisting me.
Don't think she's the only one who knows how to cook. I'm also a good chef. I taught her how to make pepper soup, she also taught me how to make egusi soup.
She was gisting or should I say gossiping with me about a neighbor of ours who got divorced. She said it's because the woman is dirty. How on earth does she know that the woman is dirty!?
After sometime she began to complain that her waist hurts so I told her to sit and rest but it got even worst.
Could it be the baby coming? just immediately, her water broke and confirmed my assumption. I rushed her to the hospital and called her mother.
After all the tension, running up and down the baby came. My Ify is a strong woman, it didn't take much time as I expected. It was a baby girl. The moment I held my first fruit, I felt butterflies in my belly. I was over joyed!
I brought in my wife's mother for the “omugo”. It took 2 months before my mom in-law decided to go back. 2 good months without knack. Just after we said farewell to mama I told my wife that I've missed her and she gave me a bad look. I wanted to walk out but she held me back "so it's because of this small thing you want to walk out on me? I'm just pulling ur legs... I've missed you too" she said and I smiled. I don't remember who started k!ssing first but the rest is history.
Marriage or genuine relationship is not always a bed of roses. It takes two to tango. You need compassion to relate. You need understanding, knowing your partners weak and strength buttons and making use of them at the right spot.
No one is perfect! You can only work out the perfect one... I wake up every morning with smiles on my face. Each time I think of the past experience I do laugh about it. Her lies has made me discover a lot of things...
Many thanks to our biographer, the writer.

This was damn heavy!!"Zoey!" I heard mum call and turned to see her coming in from the kitchen."You're back"."Yeah - I've been calling you for ages now" I said, wiping off sweats from my face."Oh! So, how was it? Were you able to get the supplies?" She asked as she got to where I was and opened the carton."Yeah" I muttered and checked the time.Oops! It was getting pretty late and Mandy might be here any moment from now."Uh...I'll just leave you to it, mum. I need to get ready now" I said and tried scurrying off."Zoey" she called back my attention and I turned to look at her."Are you still going for that party?" She asked, looking a bit worried."Of course, mum! Its Donna's birthday party. What's wrong?" I asked, confused and she sighed."You see, Zoey. I'm not just

Mandy and I boarded a cab and headed for the venue of the party which was taking place in a classic event center."Thank goodness we're not too late. Thank your stars, Zoey" Mandy said as we stepped into what looked like a club to me.Geez! A loud pop-up music was being played and almost everyone seemed to be dancing."Wohoo!" Mandy threw her hands in the air and screamed.Geez!"Mandy" I slapped her arm.Crazy.We walked pass the numerous dancing people till we got to a table which was empty."Where could Donna be?" I asked as Mandy took a glass of wine from the table and started gulping it down."Well...she's the celebrant. What do you expect?" She asked and took in more wine.Gosh! This place is damn too noisy. This is actually my first time attending such a party, so you wouldn't really blame me. If not for the fact that the celebrant's a close friend, I'd never had agreed to come."Come on, Zoey; let's dance" Mandy said as she started moving her body crazily."You know me, Mandy

I gasped in fright. What the hell is he doing?He smirked and started unhooking his belt and I quickly stood on my feet."What the f**k do you think you're doing?" I asked paranoid but he didn't say a word.Then, I tried reaching for the door but he stopped me and gave him a stingy slap."What is wrong with you?If you don't let me go this very instant, I'll make sure you regret it" I threatened him, even if I was scared to the guts"Please try" he whispered and pushed me to the floor again and I fell roughly this time around, hurting my waist."Argh" I released a light scream and he jumped on me immediately."No! Let me go!" I struggled with him as he started pulling my dress upwards, exposing my thighs.Oh God! No; this cannot happen.I screamed and hit him on the chest but they didn't have any effect on him as I felt him reach for my p*nties.No; "Please stop it" I pleaded in fear, my entire system shaking.Please, this should be a nightmare; a terrible dream"No!"

I opened my eyes blearily and the first blur sight I caught was the ceiling.I shut my eyes and opened them again and my vision became more clear.The scene was different -Iike that of medicines and all that.“Zoey?” I heard a familiar voice and turned to see mum sitting beside me.“Mum?” I called weakly and her eyes beamed“Oh, my! You’re awake! You…are you okay? I’ll get the doctor” she giggled and hurried out of the room before I could say a word.I looked at at ceiling again and tried sitting up – and I did.What the hell happened?My head kinda ached as I tried to remember.The lady! The wounded lady! What happened to her? And how come I passed out?Mum came rushing in with the doctor not long after.“Please doctor; how’s she?” She asked even before he got to touch me.He brought out his stethoscope and placed it on my hand and chest.“She’s fine, ma’am. I told you. There are no physical injuries. So, you have nothing to worry about” he turned to mum and said and she heaved a hug

“Zoey? Zoey?” I heard her voice deep in my slumber and jerked my eyes open.“What is it?” I bemoaned as I tried forcing my eyes open.“Zoey! Wake up. You’ve been sleeping for hours now. Come on” she tapped me and I forcefully woke up.I yawned and sat up on the bed.“Oh mum! I’m feeling so dizzy!” I grumbled as I itched my eyes.“Zoey, are you sure you’re fine? You’ve been sleeping a lot lately and why’s your temperature high?” She asked and I looked at her.“I really don’t know,mum. I’ve…I’ve been feeling sick lately. But I think it’s the weather. Um….are you done cooking? I’m so hungry”“Huh? Are you kidding me? You ate over 10 cupcakes before you slept. How can you possibly be hungry?”“Oh…mother, I’m…”“Anyway, there’s someone here to see you. He’s waiting outside”I furrowed my brows and looked at her.A he?“Who’s he?” I asked curiously because I wasn’t expecting any visitor.“I didn’t get his name.

I felt so cold and shivery. Where was the doctor? Why's he taking so long?I sat with mum in the doctor's office as we awaited the doctor to show up with the test results. I just hope I get diagnosed and treated soon. I really need to get rid of this weird feeling."He'll be here soon, okay?" Mum placed her hand on mine and said and I just nodded we were facing each other as we sat.Finally, the door opened and I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I turned to see the doctor coming in.Thank goodness.He looked moody as he walked in slowly and went to the other side of the table to take his seat."Sorry for keeping you waiting", he spoke calmly and adjusted his glasses.He had a piece of paper with him - probably the test results."Oh! It's nothing" mum quickly said."Please doctor, how's she? What's wrong with her?"He hesitated for a while and dropped the paper on the table."Well.." He took off his specs."The...test was successful and the results are out".He paused and sighed. Hold

I knocked weakly on the door, hoping she opened up soon because I wasn't sure of how much longer I could stand.More tears streamed down my cheeks and I wiped it off with sniffles.After a while, I heard the door open and I took in a deep breath of relief."Zoey?" She called, surprised to see me."Mandy" I winced and busted into more tears.She stared at me shocked for a while."Wh...What's wrong? Why re you crying?" She asked but I couldn't say a word as I just buried my face in her chest like a baby."Thank you" I muttered as I handed the empty glass to her after gulping the cold water.She kept the glass on the table and came to sit beside me on the bed.She sighed."So...the doctor said you're pregnant?" She asked."Yes, but I swear, that's not true" I replied, raising my voice a bit."I swear with my life Mandy; I've never had s*x. I don't know what he's talking about. I can't be pregnant without s*x".She kept mute for a while."But...you've been having the symptoms of pregnancy

Oh God! This sounds insane. But it's the truth. Its the only possible explanation to this story."Zoey?" Mandy called with a scoff."Are you alright?""I swear Mandy; I know what I'm saying. How else can a lady get pregnant without having sex? We have the medical way which is surrogacy. And aside that, what other way could there be? The spiritual way!"That night, when I was with the lady, she had said something about her baby. She was scared and said things like *my baby. Please save him. I can't lose him*"And next, she held my wrist and said some strange words like...like an enchantment. I felt different and even my wrist turned red and that was when I passed out. And the next morning, the strange symptoms began." I explained, rushing my words.She stared at me, stunned like I'd run mad."Please Mandy, believe me. It has to be the only explanation" I said, panting heavily.She scoffed and folded her lips."So....you're tryna say you're pregnant with someone else's baby?" She asked.

The party was still at it's peak, but it wasn't long when I started feeling dizzy and tired. My waist and legs were hurting a lot and I just needed to rest."Are you alright?" Zosar who was next to me asked, probably noticing the depression on my face and I shook my head."Why? What's wrong?" He further asked."I...I think I just need some rest" I replied, tired."Oh; come on; I'll take you to the room" he said as he held my hand and started walking away with me.We left the throne room together and kept walking until we got to my room."Is there something you need?"
