SHADES OF MARRIAGE
    
Shades of Marriages đŸ„°đŸ˜ŠđŸ˜”đŸ„ș😭 Part 10.

“Babe I have fucked up”. I said with tears immediately I got to the house.

“Please seat. What happened?”. Faith asked with so much concern.

I couldn’t even speak. I was just crying like a baby. Faith didn’t push me to speak. She just watched me with keen interest as I cry my eyes out.

When she saw I was done crying, she asked again;

“Wetin sup mama?”.

“I slept with Austin”. I admitted shamefully.

“You dey hot o”. Faith said teasingly with her both hands raised up.

“Stop jor”. I said whilst blushing.

“She even dey blush o”. Faith said and then burst into laughter.

“You know I hate you right”. I said feigning anger.

“No vex abeg. How e take happen”. Faith asked.

I told her how it all happened, down to when my husband called and the altercation I had with Austin.

She got really furious.

“What does that husband of yours want from you? Is it your life? Is he high or something”. Faith said angrily.

“Calm down babe”. I pleaded.

“I don’t understand you o. Don’t tell me you still want him back”. Faith asked as she gave me an askance stare.

“It’s not that I want him back. It’s just that my feelings for Austin is not yet strong enough to resist my husband. Don’t blame me Faith. I have been with this man for years. He is the only man I have been with all my life. It’s not easy to just get over him immediately”. I said defensively.

Faith moved closer to me and placed my both palms on her hands.

“Look at me babe”. Faith insisted.

“Stop jor”. I said as I tried to free myself from her.

“I am being serious”. Faith insisted.

I had no choice but to look into her eyes.

“I know how you feel babe. You remember George my ex back then in the university, I never thought I would be able to move on. You know how much I loved him despite his numerous “sexcapades” and emotional abuses. But look at me now, I am married to the best man in the world who worships the ground I walk on. Babe, move on from that man. I am not asking you to give in to Austin immediately. You can maintain your distance while you heal. I promise you, all will be well my love “. Faith said warmly.

I was touched by her words. I just started crying.

I decided to stay away from both Austin and my husband for some months.

I was expecting Austin to bombard me with calls but he never did. He never called not even once after our altercation at the apartment he got me.

At first I acted as if I wasn’t hurt by it but the truth is that, my heart was exploding.

“So this man never loved me. I feel used “. I said bitterly after a mental breakdown.

My husband was still bombarding my phone with calls after I made it clear to him I was no longer interested.

We were dining one morning when I started puking. It was so unlike me to vomit not even when I’m seriously sick.

“You have been acting so differently these days. Are you okay?”. Faith asked me in the kitchen when we were doing the dishes.

“I don’t even know. I think I have malaria”. I said dismissively.

“Just run a pregnancy test”. Faith said in her usually teasing manner.

“Free me jor”. I said laughing.

“I serious o”. Faith said.

At first, I didn’t think of the possibility of me being pregnant till I started having other pregnancy symptom.

I was so scared. I decided to get a pregnancy kit. To my bewilderment, I was indeed pregnant.

I didn’t know how to react to the result. I was married to my husband for 8years and for the 8years, I never missed my period. I was called barren for years.

Me being Pregnant after a one time intercourse was like a miracle to me.

I broke the news to Faith who was extremely happy for me.

“You have to call Austin”. Faith insisted.

“It’s been over a month I spoke with him. What if he has moved on?”. I asked scared.

“It doesn’t matter, he has to take responsibility for his child”. Faith said.

To be continued

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...
