Episode 15
“stay put in the car. No matter
what happens, do not over react
or exchange words with my
mother in law or anyone who
confronts you” i seriously said to
Comfort, killed the car engine, got
out of my car and headed towards
my mother in law who simply
stared at me silently.
I nervously drew close to the old
woman with prayers in my lips,
praying for her to believe my
explanation because things
actually looked quite bad from
every point of view.
“good afternoon mum. I believe i
have things to explain” i breathed
carefully.
“of course you have a lot of things
to explain especially to Jessica.
The poor girl almost went mad
when she saw a strange towel and
female undies in her bathroom.
You can’t believe how she has
been insisting on seeing you
before travelling to Abuja with me
tomorrow, only to get here and
discover something that almost
killed her” she screamed at me.
Her words almost pushing me
down with the power they flew
out from her lips.
“mum things really aren’t the way
they look. I returned from the
village yesterday to see Comfort
waiting for me. She said her
parents threw her out of their
house and she had no where else
to go. I couldn’t afford throwing
her out because i still need her
help. I also can’t afford lodging
her in a hotel and i also couldn’t
find a cheap cool apartment for
her that same yesterday. I had no
choice than to let her spend the
night with me and it really left a
sour taste in my mouth because
she nearly died in the night.
Infact we are just coming from
the hospital” I told her the plain
truth, even though it sounded
unbelievable.
“my mother is even coming over
tomorrow because of this new
problem. I couldn’t tell you nor
Jessica because i never wanted my
poor wife to suffer more pain with
the news. But now i do know that
it was a very big mistake on my
part. Who knows how she’s feeling
inside” i explained nervously. The
old woman breathed deeply,
shaking her head.
“you better stay here while i go
talk to my daughter. Just wait” she
said, turned and went into my
apartment. I stayed back and
prayed silently. I couldn’t help but
wonder how shocked Jessica felt
when she discovered the items in
the bathroom.
My mother in law showed up
about ten minutes later and told
me i was free to see my wife.
I hurriedly went into the
apartment, my heart pounding
furiously. Jessica sat by the
dinning table. Her face drawn and
filled with pain. I cautiously drew
close and touched her shoulder.
“my love i do know that i’m the
worst husband any woman could
ever have. Please i made a bad
judgement call by not telling you
about Comfort’s presence. I did it
for the sake of your health. For
the sake of your heart. For the
sake of our baby. Please i beg of
you, try and understand. Of course
you know Comfort means nothing
to me” i begged solemnly.
“understand what?. That a
desperate girl showed up to take
my position just few days after i
left the house. Fine, i understand.
I’m leaving. I’m going to the
capital city tomorrow. I’m going
to give birth to my baby. I don’t
care what you do with your
Comfort” she instantly flared up,
pushed me and left the apartment.
I ran after her, very scared of
where she was heading. She soon
got outside, headed straight to her
mother’s car, Jumped inside and
shouted at her mum, to take her
home. The old lady obliged and
all i did was shout my wife’s name
as their car sped away.
“Jessica!, Jessica!, my love” i
screamed.
I couldn’t help but notice a small
smile on Comfort’s face as she
watched the whole scene from my
car.
