Ladies common mistake in a relationsh!p
EPISODE 5 🌹💚🥀
Mum walked into the sitting room, with a heavily coloured and drawn face. My heart leapt as i noticed her condition.
“Mum! are you alright?” i asked curiously,
“Don’t mind me jare, i just received a very terrible news from a relative” she replied and walked to her room. I nervously ran after her.
“Just let me be dear, your dad will be in a better position to break the news to you” she begged when she saw me enter her room. Her words panicked and got me more curious, instead of calming me like she expected.
“Mum you are now getting me more worried” i held her hands, staring into her eyes. My heart pounded furiously as i wondered what could make her look so sick and nervous.
“Mum i insist you tell me, plea-se” i begged and shook her hands.
“Alright fetch me a glas-s of water, i’m very thirsty” she ordered. I ran to the kitchen, filled a glas-s cu-p with water and ran back to her room.
She smiled reas-suringly after drinking the water, breathed heavily and ca-ressed my hair,
“I will tell you the news i just got, my dear. It really isn’t terrible like i earlier said, but just a bit surprising. So promise me you will behave like a proper lady when i open up to you” she asked of me.
“I promise i will behave mum” i managed to mutter anxiously.
“Emmanuel has a child, do you know?” she broke the news to me like a question. I couldn’t believe my ears.
“Which Emmanuel?” i asked fearfully,
“Your Emmanuel of course” she replied, “we had to ask around, in order to get first hand information about the family we are giving out our daughter to, and ended up getting this piece of information from a relative married in his Village” she explained, while i bit myl-ips as sadness, disbelief and pain instantly filled my heart.
Mum clearly un-derstood my condition, drew my head to her che-st and patted me like a baby.
“You shouldn’t feel very bad, you can still go ahead with the marriage if you love him well enough to overlook the little hindrance. The child is a girl and i heard the parents never accepted both the little girl and her mother” she consoled me,

“Mum plea-se don’t talk like that” i cried, “how did it even happen?” i heard myself asking.
“According to my source, she said he got the girl pregnant before going for his NYSC. That should make the child a year or more, i guess” she replied. I felt empty, sad and weak.
“No wonder he was very anxious to marry me quic-kly and his mum even hid it from me” I cried bitterly. …
I FELT pla-yED AND BETRAYED , very uncertain of my future with him. It was at this point i knew i had lost my future and i regretted ever leaving Samuel the more.

The next evening, Emmanuel was in our house as if someone alerted him of what we discovered. He c@m£ straight to my room, sat on the be-d and stared at me nervously. I sat up and stared back at him with a ferocious look, breathing heavily as i tried so ha-rd to control my emotions.
“Dearie plea-se calm down, the love i have for you is very sincere, listen to me darling, plea-se listen to me” he pleaded nervously.
“You are just so heartless. You thought you could hide such a big scandal from me didn’t you, or have you cooked up another lie, common spin it out” i said angrily. He shuddered as my words hit him ha-rd , forcing him to look down remorsefully.
“I couldn’t get myself to tell you about it because i was very scared of your reaction, i couldn’t risk losing you over a silly mistake” he murmured earnestly, “the girl was a mistake and i have nothing to do with the mother anymore, plea-se believe me. It was only a one night stand i regret ever doing, plea-se don’t judge me over it. Judge me for who i’m and not for who i was plea-se” he begged,
“I want to see the little girl and her mother. I want to see them before i say anything else to you” i requested seriously. His hands shook as he tried to hold my w@!st, he breathed de-eply and stared at me curiously.
“Don’t tell me you are alre-ady changing your mind over us?” he asked with a coloured face. I scoffed and looked away.
“I’m not happy with you and i have nothing else to say till i see your little daughter and her mum” I concluded bitterly.

“This is so unfair Mary, why do you insist on seeing them? I can’t let you see them, i just can’t” he murmured sadly, while i f0rç£d out a dry smile.
I demanded to see the girl and her mother because i wanted to get first hand information, concerning the level of relationsh!pthey enjoy with him. Moreover i really couldn’t bear standing between anyone’s happiness especially when a child is involved. I hate seeing a child grow up without a father. I know to some people it matters not, but to me it matters alot.
“What you are asking of me is very outrageous, i can’t do it. Moreover they are not living with me and i can’t take you to her house” he explained seriously,
“Then invite her to yours or somewhere conducive for us to meet” i insisted.
“Meet over what?”, “and what exactly do you expect me to tell her huh?, that my fiancee want’s to see her, you are very ins-en-sitive to another person’s plight, you only think about yourself which isn’t good.” “I un-derstood and was reasonable with you when you were virtually living with Samuel, why can’t you respect my feelings?, infact i can’t stand you this evening, i’m leaving” he poured out angrily, stood up and left the room, while i silently reflected over his words.
“Oh my God, he just accused me of being ins-en-sitive and selfish. Is he right?” i g@sped and wondered.

Mum ran into my room few minutes later, with concern written all over her face,
“Hope you weren’t ha-rd on him?” she curiously asked, while i picked my nose.
“The poor boy is in bad shape, looking very troubled and sad in the sitting room. Tell me, what did you say to him?” she inquired seriously.
“I only asked to see his daughter before deciding anything, but he suddenly grew very intense and annoying. Imagine the boldness” I complained to Mum, who calmly sat beside me, held my left hand and smiled at me.
“You should have been more un-derstanding and di-plomatic with your request. Go talk to him dear, I believe you guys can sort things out or are you changing your mind about him alre-ady?” She asked. I rolled my eyes and smiled at her.
“Oh mum don’t ask me that question, but the truth is that i can’t help but feel for the child and her mother. I can’t imagine what he told the poor girl before doing the deed which got her pregnant” I explained.

“You are right my dear” she said with a nod, “You are always very considerate of other people’s feelings” she said softly. I smiled,
“But Emmanuel just accused me of being selfish and ins-en-sitive” i murmured,
“Oh plea-se, go and settle with him jare” she stood up and dragged me to the sitting room, where Emmanuel sat with a drawn face. I quietly sat beside him, mum smiled and left us alone.
“I’m very sorry for being rude, i never intended to disrespect you nor hurt your feelings, but as your future wife it’s my duty to know everything about you and i believe i have every right to know your daughter and her mother, plea-se don’t deny that to me, i beg of you” I pleaded calmly with all my heart. He looked away thoughtfully, breathed de-eply and stared into my eyes.
“Alright your wish will be granted, you leave me with no choice than to make it happen, but i do have a very bad feeling about it” he said with a f0rç£d smile, while i heaved a sigh of relief.
“I will invite her to my ap@rtment in town on Saturday, but i will be here on Friday evening to pick you up” He added.
“No dear, i’ll prefer you come on Saturday morning so i can bring my school things along” i requested humbly.
“Alright i will be here very early on Saturday” he accepted with a dry smile.

“It wasn’t that ha-rd after all, was it?” mum asked with a smile as soon as he left. I rolled my eyes and ran to the kitchen without answering her, praying silently that things work out between Emmanuel and i, because with the direction things were heading, i really was a bit scared of my future with him.
Nervously, i waited for Saturday which slowly approached like a snail. I woke up that fateful day with a hvge boil un-der my armpit.
Creepy isn’t it?

Emmanuel showed up by 7:30am, beaming with smiles as he walked into our house.
“plea-se don’t be too ha-rd on him or to yourself my dear. Behave like a good girl which you are, okay!” “i will be expecting you next weekend” Mum advised as she k!$$£d me goodbye.
I finally left our house that fateful Saturday morning with Emmanuel, who had a new aura of self confidence in him. Silently he drove to the capital, while my thoughts kept me company as i thought about school, my future, my life and even about Samuel.
“Who knows how he is?” i wondered with mixed feelings.
He silently drove without bringing up any conversation, till we got to my hostel, an hour and half later.
“This place surely brings back memories” he murmured with a smile as he killed the car engine.
“Surely it does” i responded before alighting. He dutifully helped me carry up my luggages and organize my room. Fifteen minutes later, we headed to his ap@rtment which was just few kilometers away from my lodge. It really was the first time i was visiting his ap@rtment, and even though he wasn’t a stranger to me, i still felt a bit nervous, which made him stare at me curiously, as soon as we arrived.
“My dear why do you look so intense?” he asked with a smile,
“Because it’s the first time i’m visiting a place you rented with your money” i replied with a smile. He scratched his head and laughed.

“So my family house you visited months ago isn’t mine abi?” he joked. I smiled silently.
His three be-droom ap@rtment really was very simple and a bit scanty, perhaps because he was yet to save enough money for adequate furnishing. The chairs in the sitting room were plastic chairs, however a plasma screen television, sound system and some simple gadgets adorned it.
My heart skipped five beats when i got to his kitchen and saw lots of dirty dishes pilled up in a big basin, waiting to be washed. I had no choice than to get to work immediately, even though he weakly objected.
“I’m the happiest man in the world right now, you are so lovely, so beautiful, so enchanting, i will forever worsh!pyou” he kept singing, with hands in his trou-ser pocket as i did the dishes.
“When is she coming?” I asked after a while, interrupting his praises. He glanced at his watch and shrugged.
“She should be here by now, she promised to show up before 11am, now it’s past twelve” he replied.
“Hope you didn’t trick me into coming to your house?” I asked suspiciously.
“Of course not” he answered innocently.

At exactly 2pm his phone rang,
“She’s at the door” he said to me after answering the phone call, rushed to the entrance door and opened it. My eyes followed him expectantly, while my heart pounded very fast.
A young girl soon walked into the sitting room carrying a child with her. She froze as our eyes met, while my heart melted with pity.
She looked so young and beautiful, but was wra-pped up in sadness.

“I’m so glad you c@m£” Emmanuel said to her with a quic-k smile. She nodded and stared at me suspiciously.
“Meet my fiancee Mary” he introduced me to her, “Mary meet Stella the mother of my daughter” he said to me. I rose up polietly, reached out and made to carry her baby, but she drew back and stared at me murderously. Tears quic-kly formed in her eyes, while herl-ips shook.
“What? Jeez I can’t believe my ears, your what?” she asked Emmanuel, who instantly looked away, placing his right hand on his head.
“You are his fiancee eeh?” she asked, facing me angrily,
“Yea and i asked him to invite you so we could straighten things out” i murmured nervously,
“Straighten what?? You must be mad if you think you can involve me in your little prank. He abandoned his responsibility for your sake and you are now here pla-ying the saint. I’m not a fool sis. I’m not” she sobbe-d.
“Calm down dear, i have your interest at heart, sit down let’s talk plea-se” i begged.
“I can’t calm down, and i can’t stand this scene either. I’m leaving this moment, but i as-sure you that i will be back. Go ahead be his fiancee, enjoy yourself” she poured out with tears, before running out of the sitting room with her child. Her action and tears really t©uçhed my spirit, but i equally was a bit angry at her for not calming down and listening to me.

“You have now seen for yourself what i have been avoiding. I knew it wasn’t a good idea getting you to meet her. You see?” Emmanuel murmured bitterly, while i looked up at him searchingly.
“Now what do you think?” he asked,
“I don’t just know, but i’m having a very bad feeling right now” i replied calmly. He quic-kly drew close and held me.
“I think it’s better we get married before Easter. Let’s move our wedding forward, i can start ma-king the necessary arrangments instantly” he proposed nervously. I breathed de-eply, raising my eyebrows.
“I think it’s better we shift it farther, perhaps move it to December” i said thoughtfully, while he g@sped with disbelief, “or maybe till we settle issues with her” i added cautiously,
“What’s there to settle with her eeh?” he asked sadly.
“A lot my dear, a lot, because i don’t believe she will just sit calmly and watch us get married” i replied with a quic-k smile. He quietly sat on the floor, looking dejected and sad like a man who just lost a big fortune.
Even though i appeared calm and relaxed, i was equally far from being plea-sed with the direction i feared our relationsh!pwas heading.
I felt like visiting a fortune teller that moment.
