The Tears Of A Chaste Woman I am ready to do it now
Ami's POVI knew exactly what my uncle wanted to say, but I wasn’t ready to do as he asked. His eyes and body language had already said it all when he first saw me, and I had deliberately been ignoring his calls. While I stood in the kitchen, facing the gas cooker, I heard footsteps approaching. Just as I was about to turn, Solomon appeared in front of me.“Why are you doing this to yourself?” he asked.“Uncle, I’m not doing anything to myself. But I can’t wear those revealing clothes you bought for me. I feel naked in them,” I said firmly. “I can’t even wear them in my room anymore, let alone wear them around the house.”“It’s not all the time, just when Mr. Osagie is here.” He leaned closer and lowered his voice. “Let me tell you something. He’s the one sponsoring your travel. He’s impressed by you, he said you’re hardworking and have potential. But he also mentioned something that could change his mind. Look at how you dress!”He grabbed the loose fabric of my gown, pulling it slig

Mr. Osagie's POVMy wife should know by now, I’m tired. Tired of moving from one so-called man of God to another. If I ever told her this, it would break her heart. I’ve tried to reassure her. I’ve told her not to worry about the child issue. As long as she’s still conceiving, there’s hope. After her next pregnancy, I promised, she won’t lift a finger for house chores. Ami is here to help, after all. Solomon assured me Ami would stay for at least two or three more years.This morning, my wife stormed out of the house, clearly upset again as I failed to follow her to her special prayer program. I doubt she even ate before leaving. Meanwhile, I stayed in bed, lost in my thoughts. My younger brother’s words kept ringing in my ears. Even the gate man at my office’s comments still troubled me. Truth be told, these were the reasons I didn’t go to work today. My desk at the office is overflowing with undone tasks, yet I just couldn’t bring myself to leave the house. Was I restless? Perhaps.

Ami’s povWhen Mr. Osagie asked me to join him at the dining table, I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. He had never invited me like this before. Solomon was right. All it took was changing my dress, and suddenly, the impossible seemed to happen. Could this really be the reason my plans to travel had been delayed all along? Even though I had already eaten earlier that morning, I knew this was a rare chance to interact with him. My heart filled with joy. The one person who disliked my presence in this house, Mrs. Osagie, wasn’t here. For once, I didn’t have to feel her judging eyes on me.I don’t even remember what expression I had on my face when I heard those words, but I kept walking calmly, trying to hide my excitement. As soon as the sitting room wall blocked his view, I quickened my pace to the kitchen. I grabbed a small plate of food, just enough to look presentable without making it seem like I had already eaten. This was an opportunity I couldn’t afford to miss. Who know

Mr. Osagie’s POV“Why are you so angry with that poor girl, Ami? She doesn’t deserve what you just did,” I said calmly as I shut the door to my wife’s bedroom. I stood there, watching her. She threw her pillow onto the bed in frustration and sat at the edge, her face tight with anger. When she didn’t reply, I stepped closer and reached out to touch her, but she pushed my hand away.“You’re just trying to cover up for yourself,” she snapped.“We’re not talking about me. Ami didn’t deserve that. That young girl has been doing her best to help you. At least try to appreciate her sometimes. Did she do something wrong before you left the house today?”“The moment I’m soft on her, she’ll start misbehaving. I know what I’m doing, so don’t bring her up again. I can do everything she does. Wasn’t I doing it all before she came?”“Yes, you were, but it hurt you, didn’t it? You had a miscarriage. She was brought here to help you avoid that happening again. Even Solomon said she might need to sta

Mr. Osagie's POVIt’s been days, yet I can’t get Ami out of my mind. There’s this strange, unexplainable feeling I get every time I see her. She doesn’t even have to speak, a simple glance from her sends a shiver through me. When she brings our food, while sitting with my wife, I find myself wishing she would join us at the table, though I know my wife would never allow that. Just yesterday, something shocked me. While I was watching the live Champions League match at home, I saw her face and her waist beads flash across the TV screen, not literally, of course, but in my mind. My obsession is spinning out of control. I tapped my fingertips on my desk at the office, restless.“How can I tell her how I feel?” I muttered to myself. Then a voice in my head chimed in,“That young lady wants you.”“How?” I asked myself, feeling like I was having a full conversation with my inner thoughts.“Have you noticed the way she dresses when you’re around?” the voice responded. “She always shows you h

Ami’s povIt felt like a constant ding-dong bell ringing in my head: "Ami, I want to see you in my office tomorrow." These words were all I had been waiting for. Tomorrow, everything would finally come together. Maybe I'd even be traveling the day after or sometime within the week. I could already see the positive changes happening in my life. Osagie had been so kind to me. I was overwhelmed when he brought out ice cream and meat pie for me. Every day in this house seemed to get better and better. If there was one person I’d always remember after I left, it would be Osagie. His kindness and care were beyond words. His wife was so fortunate to have married such a man, yet I often overheard her nagging. What could he possibly do wrong to deserve that? From his tone of voice to his demeanor, it was clear that Osagie only wanted peace.After cooking that evening, I went to my room and couldn’t stop staring at the money he had given me."This money is too much. I need to share it with Mama

Ami's POV“Good afternoon, young lady. Who are you here to see?”The receptionist’s voice brought me back to reality. From the main gate to this desk, just mentioning Osagie’s name had been the magic key.“I’m here to see Mr. Osagie,” I said confidently.“Mr. Osagie who?” she asked, her tone cautious. Her lips were painted with red lipstick, and her brown gown flowed elegantly from her chest down.My confidence wavered. I didn’t know his last name. Flustered, I reached into my small bag, pulled out his complimentary card, and handed it to her. Her eyes widened immediately, and she smiled apologetically.“Oh! I’m so sorry. Don’t blame me, there’s more than one Osagie working in this administrative complex. This is my boss.”I nodded and was relieved. That’s when I remembered Osagie’s instructions over the phone:“When you get to the office building, ask the receptionist to direct you to my office.”“Could you please take me to his office?” I asked politely.The polished white desk betw

Mr. Osagie's POVIt’s been five days since Ami came to my office, and she’s still rejecting my requests. I’ve never done anything like this before, and I didn’t expect it would take this long. Her refusal has only made me want her more. I see her every day, and it’s been eating away at me emotionally. Whenever I try to talk to her or create an opportunity to share my feelings, she vanishes. She doesn’t answer my calls or reply to my messages.What kind of woman is this? The harder she makes it, the more I feel I can’t live without her. Normally, her attitude would piss me off, but my desire for her overrides everything. Yesterday, the urge was unbearable. I went to the kitchen while she was cooking, hoping to talk to her. To avoid suspicion if my wife walked in, I pretended to be busy. Ami had no way to avoid me this time.“Ami, why are you treating me like this? Do you know what I’m going through?” I asked, holding a few apples at the sink. She was standing just a few feet away in fr

The Tears Of A Chaste Woman What kind of emergency?
Ami's POV"Emergency!" my daughter shouted just seconds after answering John's call. How did I know something was wrong just by looking at her face? She stayed on the line, mostly listening, while John did most of the talking. The only words she managed to say were,"Okay!... Okay!" She kept nodding until the call ended, a minute that felt much longer to me."What did John say?" I asked, still standing close to Omosefe."John said there's an emergency, and both of us need to go to Lagos.""Lagos? What kind of emergency?" I asked immediately."He did not say," she replied, her eyes searching my face for a reaction. She hesitated, sensing my growing discomfort."He already booked flights for us from Benin City. It will not be a long trip," she added, trying to convince me."Omosefe, I cannot go with you," I said, turning away and heading to my bedroom. Lagos, of all places? The name alone popped up in my mind. I had sworn never to step foot there again, it would only dig up the pain I h

Chapter Forty-SevenOmosefe's PovThe shock from my mom’s reaction yesterday still lingers in my heart. I realized that parents are the only people who truly want the best for their children. My mom, whom I had always thought was negative about my relationships with men, surprised me with just one question."Omosefe, do you love John with all your heart?"I nodded at first, but she quickly said, "This is not about nodding. I need you to say it out loud.""Mom, I love him.""Does he have the qualities I have always told you a good man should have?""Yes, he does."She paused, her eyes fixed on me. Everything she said felt like a strict rule I had to follow."If you say you love him, then I wish you happiness in your relationship."It felt like a dream. My eyes widened. Was this really the same woman who always used her words and body language to criticize me? She did not mention the training I said I attended in Lagos or accuse me of lying. She let everything go. I rushed forward and h
The Tears Of A Chaste Woman Are you still… a complete woman?
Omosefe’s povThe first thing that crossed my mind was, 'What will I tell my mom?' Deep down, I wanted John to be the man of my dreams, and when he knelt before me, I didn't realize I was crying until I felt the tears on my cheeks. The joy of that moment was bigger than my fear of my mom."Yes... yes..." I remember stammering. It was the first time a man had ever kissed me. It felt like a jolt of electricity running through me. I couldn't tell if it was from the excitement of being with John or the fear of going against what my mom had always told me."Keep your virginity. No situation should make you lose it unless you've said, 'I do.'"As the plane began to descend into Benin City airport, my heart started pounding. I was sweating, even though the air inside the plane was cool.How would I tell my mom? Would she ever trust me again? She always seemed to know everything, like she could read my mind. She would accuse me of dating John secretly in the village and hiding it from her. Sh

Omosefe's POV"Mom, I don't know how to say this, but it's a great opportunity for me. I know you want the best for me.""Of course, I do. What's it?" Mom asked, her eyes moving back and forth between my face and the akara frying in hot oil.I hesitated, searching for the right words."What's so hard to say?" she pressed."Mom...""Yes?" Her tone demanded I go on."That construction company accepted me," I said quickly, just as I saw the flicker of excitement in her eyes."That's wonderful!""But... they accepted me for the logistics team, and after passing the interview, they noticed I only have a secondary school certificate."Her face stiffened. "But you passed the test. Isn't that what matters?""Yes, Mom. But because of my qualifications, they said I have to go for training in Lagos first.""Lagos? Why Lagos?""Mom... is something wrong?""Do you really not remember what I went through in Lagos?""Mom, it's just training. Once I pass, my salary will be almost the same as someone

Mr. Osagie's POVIt’s been so long since I last saw Solomon. Why hadn’t he come to visit me again? Even during our annual family meeting a few months ago, I reached out to him, but he still didn’t show up. Oddly, my brothers kept asking about him, the same brothers who once saw him as a parasite. I guess they’ve finally realized my friendship with Solomon is genuine.“Are you drinking your coffee or just afraid to put the cup to your lips?”My wife’s voice startled me, making the cup in my hand tremble.“You didn't even notice when I entered the room. What's on your mind?” she asked, stepping closer and sitting beside me as I sighed.“I was thinking about Solomon. Don’t you think it's strange he hasn’t been here for so long? The last time I called him, he said he wasn’t in Lagos.”She only shrugged, clearly uninterested.“Solomon has always been close to me, and I want him to be part of our celebration in the new house on Banana Island.”“Of all people, it’s Solomon you’re worried abo
The Tears Of A Chaste Woman Will my Mum agree?
Omosefe’s POV“The man gave you extra money. Don’t you know how to count anymore?” Mum said as I placed the twelve thousand naira on the table. We had just stepped into the house, almost two hours earlier than we usually finish our morning sales. The empty bread carton was still on my head, and I expected her to let me explain, but she kept talking.“Are you deaf?” Mum quickly grabbed the money from the table and counted it herself, wanting to be sure she wasn’t mistaken.“This is twelve thousand naira. He only bought goods worth eight thousand. Did you count the money when he gave it to you?”“I counted it,” I replied softly and placed the carton on the floor.“When did you start stealing? This isn’t how I raised you. Take the extra four thousand back to him now.” But I didn’t move.“Am I not talking to someone?” Mum stared at me, waiting for a response. Finally, I spoke.“The man said I should keep the money.”Mum’s eyes widened in shock. She stared at me for a long moment before as
The Tears Of A Chaste Woman Feelings for her
John’s povI never took it seriously. I thought it was just a simple feeling, the urge to buy all the akara and bread from that beautiful young lady so she could go home and rest. It felt unfair that someone like her had to work so hard. My instincts kept pushing me to help, but I convinced myself it was nothing more than kindness.But when I didn’t see her for two days in a row, I realised it wasn’t just a passing feeling. I wasn’t myself. Something was missing, and it bothered me more than I expected.Each morning, I rushed to the construction site in my white corolla. My staff must have thought I was eager for work to start early, but that wasn’t the reason. I simply wanted to catch a glimpse of her. On the third day, when she still didn’t show up, I felt restless. I couldn’t shake the worry, and I knew I had to find out where she was.Following the directions given by one of my staff, I walked towards her mother’s place, where the akara was prepared. Every step I took was heavy wi
The Tears Of A Chaste Woman Do you like him?
Ami’s pov 21 Years Later"Mum, where did you sleep that night?" my daughter, Omosefe, asked. Her eyes were dim with pain, and her expression was full of empathy."I didn't leave my father's house immediately," I replied softly. "I stood outside the front door after your grandma locked it. I thought she would open it later, but she never did. After about two hours, I left and went to Monica's house. She was so surprised to see us that night.""Did my grandma find out where you slept?" Omosefe asked. "She said she would be enemies with anyone who took you in.""Exactly," I said, a faint smile touching my lips. "Very early in the morning, Monica asked me to hurry back home, and I did. When I got to my father's house, I sat beside the door until the sun came up. Your grandma was the first person to open the door. When she saw me still sitting there, holding you close to my chest, she burst into tears. This time, they were tears of regret, tears for not letting me in.'You slept here wit
The Tears Of A Chaste Woman Go back to where you came from
Ami’s povThe moment my feet touched the ground from the second bus to my village, a strange feeling fell on me. It was an awkward, heavy feeling that made me suddenly sad. Not because of my lost child only, but because I knew what the villagers would think. If I had come straight home when they saw me by the express road months ago, Odion would still be alive. I walked towards my house, driven by the thought of my baby boy. The shame I had tried to escape had cost me a life.I deliberately took the lonely road, the one at the far end of the village. I wanted to come home, but I didn’t want many villagers to see me. Though the sky was growing dark, each step I took made my heart pound harder. The closer I got, the heavier my breathing became. My baby girl rested on my back, and in my right hand, I clutched a bag of clothes. The only money I had left was a thousand naira, and I had been so quick to forget I’d spent some of it on two big loaves of bread.I was grateful that no one seeme
