My dad left later in the day, I locked myself inside my room
and didn’t even bother to check on my mum…all I could utter during when I was
in the room was “am completely finish”. I stayed in the room all through till
evening thinking about the beginning and how the end will be. I couldn’t stop
but continue to call Biola, I sent series of text messages but she never
responded, I solicited for just 5mins to explain myself but all fell on her
deaf ears. she later switched off her phone later in the
night.
Around 9pm, I heard a knock on my door but I didn’t answer
until I heard my mum’s voice instructing me to open the door..i opened the door
to her and she sat on my bed while I close the door
Mum: Oko mi (My husband)…watz the problem……..why did you lock
yourself in? you are even crying.
Me: nothing Mummy.
Mum: You can’t tell me nothing…I'm your mother and I know
you very well, you can confide in me oko mi
Me: Sincerely there’s nothing…is not beyond what I can
handle mum
Mum: I know it all boils down to the issue of this pregnancy
but you don’t need to worry yourself, you have to be a man for once, even
though I'm a bit disappointed as we shouldn’t encourage pregnancy before tying
the knot but it has happened already.we have to forge ahead. But I'm surprise
am meeting her for the first time and when did you start the relationship with
her? What of Biola
Me: That’s the problem mummy
Mum: You mean Biola
Me: No…this devil call Mary
Mum: How Oko mi…please talk to me dear
Me: Our relationship is not more than a month…..Biola caught
us red handed and coming in this afternoon was the 1st time she told me she was
pregnant.
Mum: One month? You mean you guys knew each other not more
than a month ago and she’s pregnant for you already? How come?
Me: The thing is this Ma…u know I told you I was going to my
school to process my certificate sometimes ago
Mum: Yes I remembered, that I even ask you to find out about
admission for your sister
Me: I met her at our faculty that very day and one thing led
to the other we started talking.. I gave her a lift that day and without
hesitation, we ended in my house. she has been there ever since that day and
have not gone back to her own house for more than a month now
Mum: Ahn…ahn…..how is that possible, didn’t Biola come to
visit you during this period
Me: She came, that’s why I said she is a devil…is like the
devil deliberately planted her into my life. initially, what I wanted to do was
a one off thing and let her go cos I made her realized from inception that I have
a girlfriend and I love her so much. am not ready to compromise my love for her
Mum: You are not ready to compromise but you can have s-x
with another lady abi? Am listening…what now happened
Me: She perfected her plan so well and convinced Biola that
we are cousin staying in Ibadan and that she only came to do something in Lagos
as she will be spending just some few days but this coincided with Biola’s
leave which she decided to spend her two weeks leave here..so she convinced
Biola to the core that both were staying under this roof
Mum: and you accepted by sleeping with both of them under
your roof without Biola’s knowledge
Me: uhmmmmmm
Mum: uhmmmmm wat? Yes or No
Me: Yes but it wasn’t my fault as I don’t want Biola to know
the truth and was expecting she will leave once Biola will be through with her
own leave too. I want to keep it a secret, I don’t want to lose Biola but she
kept blackmailing me into sleeping with her too
Mum: and did you protect yourself during this time
Me: Sometimes, not all the time
Mum: Now I'm getting it…so, what now happened to Biola
Me: both of them were supposed to leave this house this week
but Biola caught us red handed yesterday making love to each other in the
sitting room
Mum: Mogbe …….iwo omo deyi ti baye je (u this thing don
spoil life oooo)
Me: I came in from their house this morning and she was not
even ready to listen to me. she chased me out of their house
Mum: Nope…..she won’t chase you…she will serve you drink and
a plate of pepper soup……….you see, ejo o kin se teni ka ma mo da (A case will
never be yours and you won’t know how to judge it) there’s no devil anywhere…
iwo gang an lesu (You are the real devil)…….so, you can do all these…..talo fi
ti e jo? (Who do you resemble?). Mary was right there on her own before you
talk to her or was she the 1st to approach you? I doubt when she’s not a
s--t…you approached her and decided to allow her stay in your house under the
same roof with your fiancée and fooled the poor girl together abi. she’s
pregnant now, so what do you want to do? Nkan to mo je lo yo e ( your favourite
bele full u)..have you ever met her parent or spoken to them?… what am I even
saying self, how would you have met her parent
Me: have not met them……..Told her that I will be taking her
to hospital tomorrow to confirm her pregnancy claim
Mum: and what if the result is positive what will you do? Am
sure abortion is not an option so don’t even think of it
Me: No…just to ascertain that she’s saying the truth…
moreover I can’t marry her…I don’t even know anything about her or her family
Mum: so you didn’t think of that before sleeping with
her……….don’t worry but if I may ask, in the last one month that you have been
together, do you notice any bad character about her
Me: Sincerely none.. she’s good on her own part but I can’t
just leave Biola for her… Biola is the one I love
Mum: since Biola is the one you truly love, you shouldn’t
have venture into this in the 1st place.. you shouldn’t have allow the thing
under your trouser control your brain…..
Me: “Crying”………….
Mum: No need to cry oko mi, I understand how you feel..this
is all your mistake and I believe God will guide us through….I will take her to
the hospital tomorrow while you go to work but lemme call biola to talk to her…
o ku ti sowa deyan buruku lodo omo yen ati awon ebi e bayi ( you have turn us
to wicked people in d eyes of dis girl and her family now)
“Dialing Biola’s number”
Me: Don’t worry yourself mum, I will take her there myself..
have called in sick already at work for 3days and my Boss consented.. so I have
enough time
Mum: Okay oko mi….Biola is not picking my calls..just don’t
worry yourself..i know your concern and I can assure you everytyn will be
settled…..God will guide us tru. Please come and eat, your food is on the table
Me: Am not eating mum
Mum: Please now oko mi…..lemme go and bring it for you if
you don’t want to come to the dinning.
“she stepped out, I was a bit relieved pouring my mind out
atleast to someone who was ready to listen to me.
she came back with the food, I eat and find my way to the
bed, didn’t know when sleep came over, all I noticed when I woke up around 5am
was a lady sleeping beside me on the bed…I look at her as if I should strangle
her to death”.
I woke her up around after seven in the morning to go dress
up for hospital for a test….i don’t have a personal physician so I had to
settle down for a private hospital in my area but not too close to my house. We
got to the hospital, met the Dr on duty and explained why we were in the
hospital to him, he said they will need to carry out a blood test as that’s
always more accurate than yourine test, there’s another small
compartment like a room in the Dr’s office and I guess that
was for emergency cases cos that was where he took her to. They didn’t spend up
to 10mins there and came back…he called a nurse and directed us to go to the
lab, the nurse collected her blood sample and asked us to wait outside at the
reception.
The Dr called us in after more than an hour, gave us the
result and I was so surprised when he congratulated us that my fiancée is
almost more than three weeks gone..i was devastated.
WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 12
