No room for love 49

EPISODE 49 **************** My mother in law opened the door and ushered me in. You did not come with your wife. She had no idea I came here Mum. Nectar said in reply to Catherine’s question. Come in, hope all is well, she said while handing me a glass of juice. I admire this woman so much. From what I heard from my Dad, she has taken a lot of harsh treatments form Mr. Santa but still does not want to leave him. “I hope she forgives me for what am about to do. I was in deep thought.” Nectar, are you okay. You look lost. Is my daughter okay? Catherine asked so worried. Yes, mom, I just came to ask you for your permission for some other matter. Permission to do what. Catherine asked again adjusting herself this time to look directly at Nectar. Mom am tired of her attitudes. I cannot take it anymore. Nectar said slowly. I want a divorce, I believe she will jump to that since her ex fiancĂ© is back in town and she has started seeing him again. What are you talki...

SEQUENCE 18 . Felicia`s POV Weeks after, I kept myself busy, working and doing preparations for the wedding. I wanted as much as possible to avoid any more confrontations with Feli, there was no escaping her threats and demands. I would wake up in the middle of the nights sometimes to find the house door open with Feli gone. I however was too scared now to question her movements so I kept to myself. One day as I walked around the shops with the Matron for my wedding, I saw Chibiye the witchdoctor again, this time I didn’t want to stop him in public like I did before so I gave an excuse of having an emergence to the Matron who agreed and I left her to do the rest of the shopping. I slowly and carefully went after the Witch Doctor keeping a distance as he walked to his car. Before he could drive out I quickly rushed to him, opened the back door to his car and jumped him startling him. He jumped looking back at me his eyes pooped out. “Who are you young lady? What are you...

Alone 18

*ALONE* *Episode 18* I walked into the lecture hall with my peplon gown, clutching my handbag and wondering what the lecturer would say to me. I had come to school with Kamsi that day, we got a seat and sat down but my period pain wasn't helping me so I had gone to a chemist to get some drugs. The midwife I met there helped me with warm water instead and asked me to relax a bit. Now, the menstrual pain has stopped but I'm 20 minutes late to class. Mr Ofor was a no nonsense man. He took the smallest of things serious. I was very good at his course but I just don't want to get into his bad books. Me: Good morning sir. I greeted with the most tender voice I could give. All eyes were now on me and I wished I had just stayed back at the clinic. He looked at his wristwatch and gave me a scornful look Mr Ofor: Lady, you're 22 minutes late for this class. Me: I'm sorry sir. I was at the clinic. I'm sick. Mr Ofor: Sick? Which clinic are you coming from? Me: Tok...

EPISODE 48 How is our pregnant wife? Matts grinned and Kate smiled shyly back. Come sit here, the way you are smiling, WhatsApp. Nothing, I just won a big contract from some company. Kate replied with a funny tone. Are you sure, because you look very different. Matts asked curiously. Oh really, you can read that on my face. Kate was surprised. Oh yeah. Matts said in expectance of good news. You will not let this pass right. Kate asked now giving up. Not a chance Katie so start talking my dear matts said and adjusted herself. I met with Mandy. Kate finally revealed. What? When? Why Katie? Matts kept repeating short dialogues. I don’t know but I just want to hear his side of the story. He told me a lot, which am yet to come in terms with. Kate said looking confused. She might have had a great time last nice but she is the most confused pregnant woman still battling with undying attraction towards a forbidden man. I don’t know what is wrong with you. You know very well t...

SEQUENCE 17 . Felicia`s POV I watched from a distance shocked, as the man I knew to be the witchdoctor talked with the lady. Just as I tried to go ahead and confront him to find out why he was playing pastor or find out what was really going on, I saw him turn to walk away ignoring my hand which was raised to stop him. My instincts told me to follow him and as I slowly went after him my phone beeped. It was Daniels and I had to pick the call, losing my focus on him for a second. “Yes love” I responded and when I looked up to see the man, he had disappeared. I tried tracing him with my eyes around the area but he was nowhere to be seen. “Hello, my love, are you there?” I heard Daniel ask on the phone which I held still to my ears. “Am here love” I sighed deeply paying attention. “Are you okey? I am asking exactly where you are am in town right now” “Am okey my love I just got distracted by something?” I replied before te...

Alone 17

*ALONE* *Episode 17* Dinner was ready before 6:30. Kenneth had stepped out of the house to only God knows where. Kamsi and I dressed up with a little make up and sat down in the sitting room, chatting away with our phones. A honk outside got us rushing out of the house as an ash coloured highlander drove into the compound. Ever seen these Nollywood movies where the servants would be standing in a queue, waiting for the prince or princess to arrive or get down from the car? Lol. That was the scene being played now. Only difference was that we weren't servants and we looked too good to be one. We watched as Rose got down from the car and we gushed shamelessly at her beauty. She was dressed in a short pink floral gown, wearing a gold plated heel which was about five inches. Her handbag marched her heels and she looked like a celebrity going for a photoshoot. Rose and Kenneth had met on badoo the year Rose had written waec. Ken was in law school then. So many calls, chats, video an...

EPISODE 47 Huh, I replied. I know you are tired or probably not in the mood, but I owe you a thank you. You could have just left me here to die considering the fact that I married you when you do not want to but you took care of me. Thank you. I hope to repay that gesture someday. Are the babies fine, he paused and sighed? Nectar said with all sincerity. “I realized I was getting emotional so I quickly pushed myself away facing the other end, only my heart knew I so much wanted to say something, but sleep suddenly took over. “For five days Matts has been avoiding me. I can’t tell what she doesn’t want me to find out.” In and out of the hospital, nectar is recovering faster than I thought. Am also glad I don’t need an operation anymore. I thought to myself and smiled. I had to hand over my work to Stacy and increase her income plus some holiday treat once I resume because when I put to bed she has to handle a lot. I kept talking to myself so loud....
