EPISODE 5
Written by✍️ Chidinma Ihemenandu
What did I ever do or say wrong now, I contemplated within me…. My marriage has been a peaceful one so I wouldn’t want it to tear apart because of unnecessary issues, I think I have to resto-re the peace by apologizing to my husband.
I quickly went to the kitchen and microwaved the already cooked food, though I wasn’t hungry but I dished out food for two so I would join him and eat in order to resto-re harmony in my house.
Is my food ready? my husband said as soon as he stepped out of the bath.
Yes honey our food is ready I replied, should I bring it to the room so we could eat there?.
Nope I want to eat alone, I will eat at the dinning.
I know he is still angry at the way I raised my voice at him, but he also called me an ogbanje, a possessed woman with spiritual husband, yes is true that he didn’t say it directly but he did indirectly… Mtcheww!! I also have every right to be angry too besides I am a woman and he should be looking at my face and not the other way round…… My pride and negative thoughts are creeping in to my mind now and honestly I am allowing it to build up. That could be dangerous a voice in my head said but I ignored it and angrily took a plate and divided the food living a little quantity for him on the dinning. Your food is ready I said and went into our room.
He was already laying down.
Thought you said you were hungry, your food is on the dinning.
I lost my appetite already he said and turned the other side backing me.
You’ve got to do something about this for peace to reign, one side of me said while the other part of me very proud and arrogantly said, he is now taking me as a maid that with your condition after stressing yourself he will reject your food and back you, you better correct this attitude now before it becomes a habit…. Stupidly I listened to the negative voice and started acting according to its direction. So Mike what do you want me to do with the food huh! I took my time and prepared a food for you, only for you to tell me that you have lost your appetite, so I am now a maid to you right?.
He didn’t say a word instead he just used the blanket and covered his entire self.
Oh my rage increased at this point…. Mike you are now snubbing me, I tried to pull the cover but he held it still very tight… Hmmmm! Is obvious that you have started seeing another woman right Mike?
I walked out on him angrily and tell him that I will stop cooking for him again….. Filled with anger I went and pour the food away… I took my bath and went to the room he decorated for our forthcoming baby and sleep.. I was almost falling into de-ep sleep when I noticed a figure coming towards the bed, I smiled in victory and said in my mind… I knew he will come to me, I love you Mike….. I was still blus-hing waiting for his touch or maybe for him to apologize but I didn’t hear a sound from him…. “Mike, honey I called out almost in a whisper but no response again” now afraid I switched on the light on the table and I saw a figure vamoose, but before he vamoosed, he looked at me smiling and blew a ki-ss at me……. That’s him, that monster tormenting me in my dreams….. No is an imagination I said trying to control and convince my self but what I saw was crystal clear and not an imagination so terrified I screamed…. Jesussssss!! Mikeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Note: If the devil knows that your solution and deliverance is coming, he will come in with another strategies …………… *
Don’t give the devil chance by allowing disunity in your family….. **

My husband rushed into the room and held me… As I continued to scream, he tried to calm me down but instead I ran out of the room and he followed suit.
What is it, what’s wrong with you? please try to calm down and lower your voice our neighbors might hear you, he said while rubbing my shoulder.
I broke down in tears pointing and crying also trying to speak at the same time.
Please Adaoma, you are getting too dramatic you can’t be crying and talking at the same time, I can barely hear what you are saying, my husband said restlessly.
Then I tried to calm down… You are right honey, I saw him, I saw him, I was still pointing towards theroom.
You saw who? my husband asked in confusion.
I saw him, I mean my tormentor, my spiritual hus…… I stopped, I don’t wanna use the name spiritual husband cus it sounds weird to me…. I mean the man I use to see in my dreams……. I said in freight clinging unto my husband.
Wait a minute, you saw him in your dreams again?
No no! Not in my dreams this time, I saw him in our baby’s room.. I thought you were the one but when I waited for your touch and apologies and received none I turned the switch only to discover you wasn’t the man but him….. Then I started screaming and he disappeared.
My hubby was not convinced at what I was saying.
Your imaginations is playing tricks on you because she knows that you are all alone that’s why you saw an imaginary visions, you was thinking about it before you slept that could be the course.
Seriously honey! I was thinking of no such thing, I only thought about our fight before retiring to bed, honestly believe me, what I saw was very clear and now I believe in what mum said could be the problem….. Please what did she say is the solution…. I am dying to be free. I anxiously asked my husband.
Please we will discuss that tomorrow, first let’s go into our room and sleep my husband said trying to pull me up, but I refused to stand up.
I ain’t going nowhere until you tell me what the solutions are, how do you expect me to sleep after seeing that monster, who knows what awaits me in the dream…. Please keep me company, let’s stay awake together I pleaded with my husband.
He looked at me, I saw pity, anger, weakness and love in his eyes, I understand everything that was written on his face, I know that he loves me so much but staying awake could be a little difficult because nature is not ready to spare him after a long day at work.
OK I will stay with you but first of all let’s get into the room first, he said carrying me up at this time, I obliged.
We went into the room…. Then he sat down and made me sit in between his legs and he wrapped his hands round about me cuddling me to himself…. My love he said, you know that I love you very much and my love for you is unconditional, we are in this together Okey and everything will be alright.
I nodded my head in agreement…. And he smiled at me.
Mum said that her pastor is capable of destroying your night mares and separate you from that monster.
Really I said brightening up on hearing the information….. So when is he coming I asked him feeling positive now.
He is not coming but we are going to him.
You mean we are traveling to village?
Yes darling my husband said.
But honey, you know that traveling to village in this condition could be very risky, is it not better that the Pastor come over? I asked faintly.
Hmmmm! You have a point, first thing tomorrow morning we will call mum and ask her of how possible that will be… My husband said smiling at me.
I was so happy and can’t love my husband any lesser…. I ki-ssed him, apologize to him for our earlier fights…. He accepted and apologized to me also…. His stomach made some funny sounds, he was hungry no doubt because he ate nothing last night. I felt sorry for him and then asked him to join me in the kitchen so I could prepare noodles for him, he objected but I insisted, he had no option than to join me.
We made the food together and ate together, We stayed awake till 3pm before nature took over….. We slept off and thankfully no night mares.
What do you think….. Will the solution they seek come so easily?
