π«π In The Name Of Love Episode Seven:
All of a sudden, I guess the earth started spinning in mother’s eyes,and her foot couldn’t carry her anymore,then she fell to the ground.
She was helped up by neighbors and I….
“Mama Adesuwa na waiting na,you wan wound yourself”,uncle Emma,asked
“But wait oh,you no know say your husband dey pack?,”mama Jane asked….
Mother nodded her head in the negative..
“Ah!!,na WA for papa Adesuwa,so na run him run leave you and the children so ohhh,na wa,men,men,na wa ohhhh”
Different people started encouraging mom,as they understood the dilemma she was in….
Mother was turning in circles, confused,I guess she didn’t know what to say…..
Let’s go,she took I and my brother and we were on our way to where I had no idea..
Where una con dey go na,our neighbors asked mother, but she was too confused to say anything.
We soon boarded a bus,and from the direction,we were headed towards granny’s house….
Mother was quiet,she had some tear drops flowing down her eyes,I on my own couldn’t believe father would do that to us,I mean,why would a father run away from his home,I wondered….
Mummy,why did father pack out of the house, Sammy asked,like he read my thoughts
…
Mother hugged him tightly instead,as her response…..
We soon arrived at grandma’s place,and we knocked at the door….
She opened and saw us..
Kor iye,obowa,we greeted her…
Eheennn,she replied with a frown,why are you and the children here at this time,she asked…
Iye, it’s Efosa,he packed out of the house,he took everything,and his properties,I came to check if he’s here,mother explained….
What do you expect,no Imade,what do you expect of a man whose wife has refused to be of help to,whose wife has allowed the little change She’s making get into her head,see Imade,let me tell you,you are nothing without my son, you are nothing without a man,he was with you,and you didn’t value him,now that he’s out,you have realized his importance,why didn’t you relax and go on with your business like nothing happened,of course you can’t, that’s to tell you,you need my son,and not the other way round, grandma said in pride…..
Iye, please,is my husband here,mother asked again tired and weak.
Here?,why will he be here,my son is not here,you think he’s less a man, because he asked for your help in paying the rent,well he has gotten a place for himself, and soon, he’d get a wife that is deserving of his love,a woman that will respect him, honor him,I mean a virtuous woman, grandma said smiling…
Mother took my brother and I by the hand and was walking out slowly…
Where are you going with my grand children this late,I do not care about you no doubt,but my grandchildren’s safety is a priority to me, grandma said,but mother ignored….
I wondered where we were going ,as father had taken with him our foam, returning back would mean sleeping on the floor…
I didn’t want to ask mother anything,she had seen enough for one day…..
It was almost 9pm by now,we were lucky to find a taxi cab,who had closed for the day returning home, but mother pleaded that he should take us to our maternal grandparents house,the man had pity on my brother and I and decided to take us there after the payment had been settled…
Mother was all tears as we drove,she had so much going through her head,my brother was already feeling sleepy,and been in the taxi cab,with sufficient space,he dozed off…
In about 40minutes,we arrived at our maternal grandparents place…
Mother thanked the man and paid him,she then carried my brother who was already fast asleep on her shoulder…
She knocked at the protector,and grandfather Came to open….
Kor baba,obowa,we greeted him.grandpa touch my head and rubbed it in response,but ignored mother…he walked inside and didn’t utter a word…
Mother locked the protector and we went inside the living room.
Grandma walked out to the living room.kor iye obowa,we greet and I went to her, while she held me tightly in embrace…
Mother was still teary, trying so hard to suppress it…
Vbosunu,what is it,what has the prodigal daughter come home to do, grandma asked..
Iye, Efosa packed out of our house,he left with everything,the chairs,tv,his belongings and all valuables, leaving just my clothes and that of the children, mother explained…
I do not need to ask if you two had a fight, because you always have one,what happened this time is a better question, grandma asked…
Our rent was over due,the landlord had given us quit notice, Efosa wanted me to pay,but I refused,I have taken the responsibility of every other thing, because I refused to pay, Efosa left the house without my knowledge,I thought he’d be at his mother’s,but getting there,his mother said he wasn’t,since I had refused paying the rent,he had to move out to another apartment before the landlord would come seizeπππ his property,and that he’d soon be finding another woman,who would be willing to do all I refused to, Efosa has the money to rent another apartment,but chose to let the children and I stay stranded, mother explained in tears….
My daughter, grandma turned to me,have you and your brother eaten,she asked me,which I nodded positively….
You still know your way to the guest room right, grandma asked me,yes granny,I replied.okay dear, goodnight my princess,she said,stood up and went inside to join grandpa without saying a word to all mother had explained……
Mother took my brother and I to the guest room after we had our bath,and Sammy and I slept off….
Waking up the next day, mother was seated on the floor in tears,I doubt if she slept that night.
Good morning mummy,I said,she replied trying to smile,she opened her hand in embrace and I went in,I knew she had a lot going through her mind that words couldn’t explain….
Sammy soon woke up too and greeted mummy..
It was past 7am by now, Sammy and I came out,we needed to have our bath and brush our teeth…
Good morning grandma,we greeted seeing her in the kitchen…
Good morning my darlings,she replied with a smile.but next time kor iye labo would be better,she Said..
Okay grandma,we relied.
So gentle man and lady,go have your bathe and come out for breakfast she said.
Yes granny,we replied and went to the bathroom….
We were through with our bath And had brushed our teeth,grand ma served us a bowl of white rice and fish stew,it was so delicious, mother indeed took after her,they were both great cooks..
Do you love you food,she asked,yes grandma,it’s delicious,we replied…
Grandfather soon came out,in a blue shot and Polo,kor baba labo,we greeted…
Kor yor vbinwwen he replied smiling,he made sure we joined him again to have his breakfast,he made us tell him about our school,our friends, favourite meals and everything there was to know about us, grandma soon joined us,and it was fun….
Mother came out from the room at about 11am,she greeted grandma and grandpa,but yet again they didn’t answer her…
She knelt before them,I know I have wronged you as a child,I have disrespected you, disobeyed you and brought shame to your name in more ways than one,but I am so sorry, please baba, please iye, forgive me,she said In tears…
So because that imbecile had left you,you suddenly realized you have a family, you suddenly realized you have parents,you have gone against us because of that thing you call a husband,is that not the same man you went against us for and took an oath,what for,all in the name of love or marriage….where you even married to him in the first place,no,you two were cohabitating, because I can’t remember collecting a bride price in your name,a man who was yet to make an honest woman out of you, treats you with little or no regards,yet,you take it like some one who fell from the sky with no family,,you want to be married right,you want to stay married and win the trophy of wife of the century,you are going to achieve it,you are going back to that marriage of yours,I only let you in last night because of my precious little grandchildren,who knows nothing and shouldn’t be dragged in your mess, but as for you Imade,you stopped being my daughter the day you took an oath against my will and believe,I am going to go out right now, by the time I am back,I shouldn’t see you in my house,you can leave my grandchildren if you have nowhere to drop them,as for you,get out of my house, grandpa said.walking out, while mother tried to hold him by the leg, begging,but he kicked her away and walked out.
Mother turned to grandma, but she also looked away…
Mother sat on the floor,in pains and in tears.i couldn’t help but weep too.
