👫💞 The Other Woman Episode Twenty One:
Nkem stood frozen as she saw the person at the door. She was looking at him with as much hôstīlity in her eyes, as he was looking at her.
But for some strange reasons, she couldn’t tell him what she had always planned she’d tell him the first day he appears before her door.
“What are you doing in my house?” she asked eventually, standing in his way as he made to walk past her, to get j to the house.
“Get out of my way already. I’m here to see my mother, and not you” Joe told her.
“And you think because mama is here in my house, you can barge in on me any time you want?
“How the hêll did you get a key to my house, by the way?” she asked, her eyes sparkling with ràge.
“First of all, this isn’t your house, it is mine, and I only allowed you stay here for some personal reasons.
“And I think it’s dûmb for you to ask how I got a key to my house, when you got the estate Manager believing that we’re in agreement that you moved here to enable some renovations take place in the main house.
“Do you think he didn’t check back with me before he gave you the keys to this house?
“And did you imagine I didn’t know I needed to keep an extra key for days like this, when I want to catch you unawares?” he asked her, looking at her squarely
“Joe, you have absolutely no right to barge in on me, in my own apartment.
“You have said it yourself, that you gave the go ahead to the estate Manager to allow me stay here
“It is a violàtion of my rights to privacy for you to barge in on me, uninvited. I do not want to have you in my house, so until you kick me out of this place, you’re not welcomed here.
“Please leave already. I do not wish to see you, or have you inside my house, even for a minute” she told him.
“Some effrontery! Who told you I even wish to see you? Who told you I care for a second that you live here?
“If my mother wasn’t here, you think I’d want to see the face of the woman I have trusted for twenty whole years, while she snîtched behind my back?” he fired at her, a bit too loudly, and mama, who had been trying to force herself to remain calm couldn’t hold it any longer.
When she and Amarachi noticed that it was Joe that had appeared at the door, they agreed mama was to keep acting like she was yet to remember anything, until Ben was able to get the things he said he was going to get to be able to nail Mandy and her daughter.
When they sat to analyze the situation of things the previous night, they agreed that it was not going to be easy to make a case if mama came up with what she had to say about Mandy and her daughter.
The medical reports in the hospital where she had just been discharged holds that she has partial àmnesia, and given that she had moved in with Nkem, the one that had been accused of attàcking her in the hospital, it could be argued that she had coerced the old woman into saying whatever she was saying.
Of course, for the sake of Ben’s job and possible future with Amarachi, there was no way he was going to be able to indîct Mandy, without getting in deep troubles, himself.
So, Amarachi and Nkem, refused to allow him make an open move against Mandy.
They agreed that for her to be able to get Mandy where they wanted, Ben needed to still act like he was working with her, and set up the bûgs he planned to plant in her house and car.
Jackie visited Nkem that night, and after much deliberations, told them that they could work from an unofficial angle too.
Mama already told them about Max, who was responsible for Farida’s pregnancy and who from what Mandy told her the day she attãcked her in the hospital, had made Joe believe Nkem was pregnant for him.
So, she suggested that they tracked him down, and get him to do the right thing, even if they had to pay him.
They deliberated for long on the possibility of the truth in what mama heard, with Nkem, vouching that Farida was truly pregnant for Joe.
She also didn’t think it was okay to pay Max for any reason, if he had been êvïl enough to make Joe believe she had been cheàting on him.
“Nkem, you’re going to have to put sentiments aside if you wish to get out of this web Mandy has so craftily thrown you into.
“If you don’t get a grip of yourself and work out ways to outsmart the serpent you once called friend, then you’re planning to let Mandy keep having a field’s day on you” Jackie had told her.
By the time Jackie was leaving, Amarachi agreed to spend a few days with mama and Nkem before she returned to her house.
They also agreed that whatever they had to do, mama was still keep Joe believing that she was yet to remember anything.
But that morning, as she sat with Amarachi, listening to Nkem and Joe, she lost her cool, and called her son with a loud and angry voice.
“Would you quit being silly Joseph? You have been acting without putting your reasoning to use for too long, and I’m tired of watching you waste away the time you should be rejoicing with your wife, for this great thing that God has done for us” mama scolded àngrily.
Joe looked at his mother, and realizing that she was getting excited because she was still imagining that Nkem was pregnant for him, and walked into the house.
“Mama, how are you today?” Joe asked his mother, trying not to get her worked up some more.
“I would have been better if you have taken time to think to know that a woman you said you stood by for twenty years, a woman you have known for this long, couldn’t have done all that Mandy has made that rògue tell you she did” mama said, getting Amarachi and Nkem screàming at once.
“Mama!!!” Nkem and Amarachi screàmed in unison.
Joe looked at the three women and wondered what was going on.
“No Amarachi, I’m tired of keeping it in. I can’t keep looking at Joseph treat the only Jewel he’s got like trash, and extol the demôns and worthless things he now surrounds himself with.
“And you Nkem, I don’t know how you do it, but I can’t keep looking at Joe insûlt you, making unfounded accusàtions, and acting like he knows what he’s doing.
“I made life so unbearable for you, and got you so despêrate that you planned with Mandy to get Farida to give Joseph a child.
“And now, not only did they turn totally against you, unleashing the hàtred and bitterness they have always had for you, they nearly kïlled me for fining out that Farida isn’t even having Joe’s child in her.
“I’m sorry that I have to let him know, but he’s my only son, and I don’t want him to dië, without knowing how and when deãth hit him.
“Now that I’m out of their way reach, Mandy may turn to my son, and plan to take him off too.
“I know how viciôus that woman is. I have experienced her, first-hand” mama said.
“Are you okay mama?” Joe asked concernedly, placing his hands on mama, as though to check her temperature.
“I can understand that you think Nkem is pregnant for me, and you’re trying to make me accept her again, because she’s been brainwashing you to believe that Farida and her mother are the bad ones
“But mama, Nkem isn’t who you think she is. Even your being here was arranged by Amarachi and I, to ensure she doesn’t try to hurt you again.
“Amarachi, tell mama, tell her, so she can know that the reason we allowed a cat hold our fish, was to ensure that the cat didn’t try to eat the fish again” Joe said, trying to get his sister to speak up.
“Well brother, the reason I made you feel the custodian of the fish you have just spoken about is the cat, is because I know you haven’t seen the claws of the real cat, while it stood so close to you.
“I told you what I told you because I didn’t want to have a wïtch confessing to what she has done with her target already reached.
“I’d rather have her confessing to trying and missing than having to môurn while I listen to the confession” Amarachi said.
“Dear God, what has happened to these people? What have you done to my mother and sister?” Joe asked, looking at Nkem with fire in his eyes.
“Amarachi, I don’t know what this woman have told you, but if you know the truth about what she has done, you won’t stand a second by her side!” Joe said, his nose flaring in ãnger.
“What truth? The kind of truth you heard while a boy was making a call loud enough for you to hear, as you say with Mandy in Benizia Hotel, that he has been sleeping with your wife?
“Would you Joseph, like to know the truth about how that same boy came to your house to touch Farida as much as he liked, and how for the fact that I heard all they talked about, Mandy and Farida nearly beat me to dêath?
“Do you also want to know the truth about why I had to act like I didn’t remember what happened in the hospital, when I could recall how you entered the hospital room, to find Nkem trying to help me with the ventilator’s mask?
“Would you like to know the details of the things Mandy told me before she began to operate on the ventilator to get me killêd?
“Ah yes, I can see it! Your face tells me that you want to know why Farida was so fussy when I woke up in the hospital and asked Amarachi to come listen to what I had to say.
“But I won’t tell you all about it now. I’m going to wait until you’re ready to sit and ask me calmly to show you how carried away you have been with that girl’s body, and how for the bush rat you thought would be yours, you have abandoned your elephant” mama said, and walked back to her seat, leaving Joe standing rooted to the ground, unable to believe what his head was processing out of what his mother had said so far.
