THURSDAYS 9 AM
MOTHER
We plan our lives but mother nature does the final plan. I was taken aback to the time I had the opportunity
to make a choice. Why would I in God's name conceive such a frivolous
idea. My autonomy as a human was long lost
the very day I said YES. Oh yes ! Apparently, I brought upon myself a lifetime of
calamity. I jeopardized my life the very moment I accepted this irrevocable offer
brought to me on a platter of gold, six years ago.
As I write, my heart threatens to detonate. Every single day
I cry out from the darkest depth of fear. My strength has failed me. I want to
evaporate into thin air. Life is no longer worth living. I live by the lives that
came forth from me.
Ahhhhhhhh..
I was young and beautiful, so physically endowed that I drew
attention Everywhere I went. My parent had little to offer. Dad wasn't working,
his palm oil business collapsed as he always lamented. Mum's income from her akara
business kept the family Manageably. I was so fortunate to have completed my secondary
education due to Mr Ahmed's benevolence. A member in the church I attended back
then.
Despite my suffering in my parent's house, it is nothing compared to how dissapointed I
feel each dawn of the day in this dungeon I call home. whenever the past permeates
into my head, I hysterically pray for amnesia. To loose these memories that
kill me by bit.
Of course, I was so happy when Mr Ejiofor came to propose to
me. He is a cute loving man. As he spoke to me, his azure eyes glittered, my
emotions got drowned in his world. At that point I made up my mind to love him till
the end of time.
He promised to be a good husband to me, a good son-in-law to
my parents, and the best dad to our children. I was devastated when he told me
about his wife, and how much he still loves her. At first, I declined the Proposal
to be a second wife, but seeing the smile emanating from the pure heart of Adaku,
his wife, I assumed a peaceful home awaited
me. I wondered why a beautiful woman as her was still barren.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't marry Ejiofor out of pity. Hell
no! It was a marriage not a child's play. I married him , because for the three
months we courted, he was everything I needed in a man. So I thought . Deep
down in my heart, I have a soft spot for
him. An affection I find difficult getting rid of even when this overpowering urge
to HATE him consumes me.
A lot of their promises were fulfilled. Ejiofor showered me
with love and took care of my family needs. He still does. But I was kept in
the DARK, I am still in the dark, Arrrrrhhhhh...THE JOY OF MOTHERHOOD has been stolen from me right under
my nose.
Stay tuned
for the next episode.
