Married to an unknown man

Episode 2
Day 2

The first call I received the next morning was his.
I frowned when I saw his name displayed on my phone screen… George, yes that’s his name
I hated the ringtone I once loved because of his call.
I picked anyway, After our pleasantries, He said we should get to know each other by hanging out every evening before our wedding.
I blinked many times to understand what he was trying to say.
Wait oo….I thought he was going to change his mind because the list given to him could wreck a man.
My uncle was a very greedy man, I knew what he could do
Yet George still wants to marry me, Omo make them clear road for am oo.
Na wa oo, this life sha
I told him that I don’t close from work on time, we can always chat or call.
He insisted that we must meet every evening, that I needed to know his house
Who wants to know his house sef Mtcheww.
After marriage I’ll still be staying with my mother but I answered with an “okay”.

He said he’ll be picking me up later in the day
And he ended the call, phew…..
So I closed early that day so we could hangout 😞
On my way home I called him that I was going home, he said he was already at my place waiting for me
Wait….Does that mean he is jobless?
Well not my business, ahh no, it’s my business oo
How will he feed me and our children if he is jobless
No he isn’t, if he is he won’t have accepted that list.
Abi na him papa go help am marry me? Ahh God forbid oo ☹️

Wait….why am I even thinking about how he will feed me and our children, as if I’ll allow him sleep with me.
Ahh Chidinma!!!! You are so dumb
That was me arguing with my thoughts.

I got home and true to his words, he was at my place
And he was seated comfortably watching movie on our TV in our sitting room.

Such audacity!! I was sneering at him and angry at my self for even saving his face from embarrassment some months ago.

I went into the room I and my mum share, dropped my things, took my towel and the clothes I was going to wear, passed him at the parlour and went to the bathroom

Well it is a room and a parlour self contained
After bathing I dried my body and wore my clothes inside the bathroom.

After everything I told him I was done, I told my mum I was going out with him, Of course she agreed, I sneered at her too.

George is good looking if I may say
He should be 5ft 8, Much taller than me
Dark skinned, straight nose, sexy eyes, kissable lips let me just end it there, it’s not as if I’m falling for his looks, Nah, he’s not my type.

Coming out from our compound, we went to his car, I thought we were going to be jumping buses
Oh…..thank goodness.

He drove off, all we did was talking and driving around until I told him I was hungry, I didn’t eat before leaving the house.
We stopped by a restaurant and I ate to my fill, then we talked for sometime before he dropped me home

Well that day didn’t go bad as I thought it would, and he wasn’t a boring person as I thought too.
I got home ate some more, then watched TV before going to sleep 😴

To be continued

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
