I was flabberg@sted and dejected, I couldnât believed myself.
How can my wife be an obstacle to our future?
âWhy are you like this?âshe asked as she c@mÂŁ back from work.
I tried so ha-rd to bury my feelings.
âNothing, Just worried about our childlessnessâI said and re-ad her look and noticed that she wasnât moved by my feeling.
âIs that all?âshe asked with less concern.
âLook baby, am not getting younger anymore pls, what is the problem, is the soup not sweet or the eba is the fault pls?âI tried to ascertain from her.
âBaby, why canât we go for an adoption?
A friend of mine is willing to help us on that since we canât have our own child plsâshe suggested and it boiled my heart much to hear such from someone I trusted before.
âDonât worry, I will show you what I have in mind when the time comes but let me remind you, we are not adopting any child into this family.
Keep on taking medications to prevent pregnancy, u must regret it if care is not takenâI yelled in anger and left the sitting room with teary eyes.
âĄSoniaâĄ
Unbelievable, what did he meant by âkeep on preventing pregnancyâ? Did he saw it?
Gosh! I rushed to the kitchen and saw my cu-pboard open.
âWhat brou-ght Michael here?âI asked myself.
I have fâked up big time and i have to fix it before it gets out of hands but the fact remains that i wonât get pregnant for any reason because am scared of lossing my life.
No, I canât risk my life because of having a child or ma-king my husband happy.
âââââ
Michael changed from the person i knew to someone else. He started behaving abnormal and taking too much alcohol unlike him.
âAm sorry for everything baby, I was just scared and i donât want to die because of having a child pls.
Are you re-ady to be a widower?âI asked him one night after dinner.
He blinked his eyes twice and cleared his throat.
âListen, that u went throu-gh all those things in our first late child doesnât mean

The next day while going to work I put call to my friend who is a doctor and we agreed to meet after work.
I canât afford to loss my life nor my husband because of marriage, never.
Doctor Ken was alre-ady waiting for me before I could reach his office that evening.
âSorry for keeping u waiting plsâ I pleaded as i noticed the impatient in his face.
âNo problem, I know that it is all about workâhe replied so un-derstandably.
âYes, what do we do about it?âI asked.
âItâs very simple but your husband must be aware of this because it is a family matter not an individual matterâhe suggested and sÂŁnt fear to my nerve.
âThatâs why I c@mÂŁ to you, do you think that we donât have other doctors who are near to my house or my office?
Am here because you are my mentor and can do it for me plsâI said but I noticed that he wasnât comprehending anything from what I was saying.
âI donât un-derstand, you want to do it behind his knows?âhe asked so agitated.
âExactly! This is life or death, just do it for me plsâI protested but he wasnât re-ady to adhere to my pleadings.
âI canât, what if he finds out some day?âhe asked fearfully.
âHow will he?
He wonât, just tell me your price letâs st©p this bargaining and all theseâI said and he interupetd immediately.
âItâs not all about money but about my reputation and conscience plsâhe insisted.
I brou-ght out my cheque book and signed 5million naira for him.
âYou can use this five million naira as a start payment, I will spoil u with money.
Just think about it and call me, this is my cardâI said and took my leave immediately.
I noticed disbelieve in his eye but i didnât gave a damn care.
âĄMichaelâĄ
I was very happy that at least my wife have changed her mind.
I un-derstood her fear but she have to do it for our name and our integrity. That night she refused to have s-x with me instead she helped me out throu-gh quic-kie to re-lease and got relieve.
I made her favourite meal before she could come back from work, I was almost done with the stew.
âWow! Baby I love itâshe appreciated as she entered the kitchen.
We hvgged with k!ssand she wanted to help me but i declined.

This girl might kill me one day oh!
I sat calmly waiting for her to finish her bath.
âHey! The aroma is good baby!âshe said as she sat down.
âThanks, who is this and what is the meaning of this message?âI asked as i slide her locked phone and revealed the sms to her.
âCâmon babe, letâs eat firstâshe said and I swallowed ha-rd .
âI donât un-derstand, we should eat first before we discuss about our future?âI yelled with anger.
âListen, I have made up my mind and thatâs final.
U canât lead me to my early grave,no, how can u be this heartless Mich?
U saw what happened to me four years ago and u are here protesting that i should go into it again, am disappointed in u!!âshe yelled and it drove my so crazy that i wanted to hit her but that wasnât in my dictionary (beating a woman).
âOkay, fine, what do we do?âI asked calmly holding my aggressive mood.
âNow you are talking, I have made an arrangement to adopt a child and he is re-ady to come in here at anytime u agreedâshe said and I bec@mÂŁ ashamed of myself.
âWait! You are trying to bring a bastard into this family?
A male child not even a female one, how can we explain to them if we later have our own son?âI asked with almost tears.
âHave our own?
Which one is our own? Are you going to get pregnant and give birth or are you going to invoke the son from heaven?âshe asked mockingly and i shrunk.
My heart was boiling in anger and i had no choice than to leave the dinning room with tears, surprisingly she wasnât moved that i rejected the food, instead she finished up the food alone singing.
âIs this real or just a nightmare?âI asked myself as i left the house hitting the road r0Ă»ghly.
Where I was going, I donât know, all i nee-d was peace of mind and joy for once.
âĄSoniaâĄ
No way! I canât die for anyone.
The Jesus Christ that died for us what have we done to appreciate HIM? Nothing, absolutely nothing and he (Michael) is here advising me to kill myself.

âĄMichaelâĄ
Out of frustration, I drove out of the compound hitting the road r0ûghly.
Where I was going, I donât know but i just nee-ded rest of mind and joy for once.
I finally ended up in a bar and started drinking my life out with many concussions.
The alcohols I was taking seems like it wasnât responding to what I wanted because the pain of been in a childless marriage for over nine years.
The worst was when it comes to my mind that the cause of my predic@mÂŁnt is my own wife.
The person that should be struggling to find a solution for our problem happened to be the cause of the problem.
I was like taking off my own life because I was like a living ghost.
I was still talking when I felt a hand t©uçh from behind and i looked up to behold a living angel looking sparkling charming.
âHey handsomeâ she said and I blu-shed like a teenager.
âNice meeting uâI said and we shook hand and she sat looking so charming and stunning.
âĄSoniaâĄ
The next day, I woke up and it happened that Michael wasnât at home.
âHe sle-pt outside?âI asked myself as i looked around.
What concern me?
If he like, let him go to hell, I canât die for love or whatever they might call it.
I called my friend and she asked me to start coming that she have succeeded in the arrangement.
We took off for the journey and finally met the woman.
âHope the child is yours because I donât nee-d any trouble plsâ I asked the woman.
âGod! Am not selling my child, am just give him out so that he will at least have sound education.
He is all i have for now but it will better that he did well outside me than been here and ends up like a me.âshe explained with tears.
âSo sorry, at least you can use this money for your up keep. He is now my responsibility and my husband, donât panic maâam, I will be checking on u ones in a whileâ I responded and we took our leave after all the proper agreements.
