EPISODE 14
Desmond went into the room to have a word with her but Princess took her car key and left immediately.
A long journey was ahead of her and she was grateful she left early.
Hours later she arrived at a compound and knocked on the small gate twice but didn’t get a response. She pushed it slowly and went in but heard children laughing at the back of the house.
“Aunty are you looking for someone?” One of them asked when they saw her.
“Erm yes is your mother in?” She asked.
“Mommy! Mommy! The boy shouted going in.
“What’s the problem? A voice was heard inside.
“Aunty is looking for you”, the boy replied and came out.
“She’s coming, he said to Princess and held his sister hand running with her else where to play while Princess smiled at that.
A woman Came out and Princess greeted her immediately, “yes your face looks familiar” she said.
“Yes it is me ma, we were once neighbours, Princess replied and the woman nodded.
“What do you want?” The woman asked remembering her.
“Please ma I came to talk to you and………”
“I don’t want to talk to you, now leave my compound”, the woman said and Princess went on her knees.
“Forgive me ma I was young and foolish then, I didn’t know what I was doing. We heard so Many negative things about you and we believed it, I won’t deny the fact my mom was a troublesome person and I thought it was right but I’m so sorry ma, please forgive me” Princess pleaded with a teary face.
“I don’t get it, after so many years why are you here?” The woman asked.
“I can remember all the bad things we have been doing to you despite we were leaving in the other building and separated with a fence. I..I…I called you a barren woman and so many names which you cursed me. Please ma have mercy, I won’t say I lived a loosed life that took my wo-mb or I’m not fertile because I am medically fine and its five years gone. Please ma have mercy I’m begging you” Princess said and burst out crying which the woman children stood looking at her sad.
“What made you think I’m responsible for your condition?” The woman asked.
“Something tells me it has to do with you but nevertheless I want to ask for your forgiveness” Princess said.
“Please get up stop doing this in the presence of my children, the woman said lifting Princess up.
“Pleaseeee have mercy, Princess whispered.
“Its okay I’ve forgiven you. It was 7 years ago I was able to conceive after all those years of mockery, now am a proud mother of two and I can understand what you are going throu-ghnow. My Case was different, I wasn’t barren but I was stigmatized with the name until I believed I was. My husband drove me out of his house which you know about it, and I had to return to my father’s house which I suffered so much from your mother hands. I didn’t want to get married anymore because to me its no use but then I don’t know how it happened, just a little fun I had with a man who was interested in me for a long time I got pregnant, I was surprised thinking it was magic. But I came to find out my husband was the fault and the wife he married after he divorced me got pregnant else where and made him take responsibility which cost my marriage. Please I am begging you, never in your life mock a woman who is unable to give birth, no one can imagine the pain she’s going throu-gh, and may God have mercy on me if I had cursed you, with my whole heart it is lifted”, the woman said and Princess hu-gged her tight.
“Thank you, thank you God bless you” Princess said while she cleaned her tears.
“It will be well okay, how is your mom? The woman asked.
“She’s late, she pa-ssed out last year”, Princess replied
………………
Princess arrived home late and saw Desmond waiting for her outside with an angry look, “and where are you coming back from? He asked immediately she stepped down from the car.
“Why didn’t you call my line to ask where I was?” She asked back and he brou-ght out her phone.
“You left this at home okay”, he shouted but she heaved and went in saying nothing.
“You won’t tell me you were at the church because I was there, now where are you coming back from?” He went in meeting her.
“Somewhere I can cool my head and give you the chance to be with your darling wife. I’m getting shocked up here okay and I want to breathe, Desmond let me be after all she’s there for you and Princess is not needed anymore” Princess shouted and wanted to leave but he held her back.
“You think so Princess? He asked.
“Just let me go and I don’t care if you’ll spend the night with her today, you’re free” Princess said but Desmond closed her li-ps with a ki-ss.
“This isn’t easy for me too, I’m so sorry for everything my love”, he said and ki-ssed her again taking her to the bedroom.
Minutes later they laid unclad on the bed with Desmond cuddling her, “how are you feeling? He asked her.
“I’m cool, we’ve been occupied with a lot of things that we haven’t had time for ourselves anymore, I just wish we’ll continue to be this way just us”, Princess said and his phone began to ring.
“Erm I’ll take this call please, Desmond said sitting up on the bed.
“Honey robbers, they are attacking our neighbourhood and I’m so scared”, Rachel said and Desmond heard a gun shot which she screamed.
“Your house is properly secured, just be calm I’ll call the police to arrest the situation there” he said.
“We have done that countless times but I don’t want to stay here, please come else I’ll die with shock”, she said and he checked the time to see its past 9.
“Fine I’ll be there but try to be calm okay, he said..
“Please be fast, she said and hung up while Princess looked at him.
“You’re leaving again? She asked.
“Please I need to go, I’m sorry, he said getting up wearing his trousers.
“Like seriously! Princess shouted angrily.
“Earlier before you left I wanted telling you Rachel……..”
“Will be staying here from tomorrow Meaning you’ll be taken for a week till she finally have full control over you and I’ll be the mistress instead” Princess shouted.
“I am entitled to marry more than one wife Princess, why is it difficult for you to understand that i am not divorcing you or getting married to another because i don’t love you, Stop this madness! Desmond shouted taking his shirt and left the room while Princess ran to the shower in tears…
……………..
Desmond arrived there and saw the environment was calm, driving the car inside Rachel came out and hu-gged him.
“What happened here? Everywhere is calm”, Desmond said.
“They left already, she replied.
“That soon? and the environment is this way? The cops didn’t arrive?” He asked.
“Let’s go in first, she said taking him inside.
“Tell me the truth Rachel, there was no robbery right?” He asked.
‘What kind of question is that?” She asked.
“Because I know you are lying, look everywhere is normal like nothing happened how is that possible?” He shouted.
“Oh oh oh fine there was no robbery, so?” She asked and he paced around the house ru-bbing his head.
“You don’t want to be with me right? Its obvious okay call the engagement off so you’ll be at peace”! She shouted.
“Must you always lie to be with me? This is not fair always making me scared for nothing” he said.
“Will you blame me when your darling wife is at home and she’s controlling you” she said.
“She is not controlling me, for once I beg you please stop this. If this is how you will behave there will be no peace in that house”, Desmond said.
“Oh so I’ll be the one to cause trouble in the home right? How sweet” She said smiling.
“That was not funny, now let’s go to bed since you’ve succeeded” he said dragging her in.
…..
The next day Matthew came out of his room and surprisedly saw Veronica setting the table already, “your breakfast is ready” she said without looking at him.
“You shouldn’t have bothered dear, I would have gotten something for myself, he said.
“Fine, she said and wanted leaving but Joy ran down with Marvel, “daddy when are you taking us out? Joy asked.
“Daddy can we go out today?” Marvel came in..
“Stop that okay, you two haven’t opened your books since the holiday began” Veronica said..
“Its okay honey, I’ll come back early so we’ll go out okay” Matthew said.
“Thats not necessary, Veronica said.
“But mommy why? Don’t you always want us to be happy?” Joy asked.
“What did you just say?” Veronica asked.
“Can’t we all be happy again mommy?” Marvel asked and ran back while Joy followed.
“Honey please let the kids be I beg you, you’re slowly taking them back from me, its not like I’ll run away with them”, Matthew said.
“You took yourself back from them first okay, stop including me in your mess you should be grateful they still calls you daddy” she said.
“And I want things to be back, i am trying my best can’t you see?” Matthew asked.
“Of course I can see that”, Veronica said and left.
……………..
Debbie retuned in the morning ignoring Prisca and was checking out a dress to wear, “you slept at his place?” Prisca asked but Debbie ignored.
“Are you really thinking right at all? Not all that glitters is gold”, Prisca said again but Debbie took the dress she wanted, took a pair of shoe and her make up bag and left saying nothing to Prisca.
Prisca got up from the bed and peeped outside to see Gideon was waiting for her and she heaved at that, “they can’t be serious about this”, she murmured under her breath.
