π«π The Other Woman Episode Twenty TWO:
Joe sat down gently by his mother looking from his mother to his sister, to his wife and back to his mother.
βMama, how did you know Mandy and I were in Benizia Hotel? Are you saying that Mandy and Farida were responsible for what happened to you that day in the house?
βWas Mandy truly the one that tried to kΓ―ll you the other day in the hospital? But mama,I saw Nkem…
βOh my God! Mama, if what youβre saying is true, if that dude was kept to tell me what he told me, then it means they just made me believe that Nkem has been cheating on me?
βBut how could they have been able to do all these things? How is it possible that Nkem planned with Mandy to get me to impregnate Farida and she turned out being pregnant for someone else?
βCanβt you see that these things arenβt adding up mama? But Amarachi, if these things are true, where am I going to start from?β he asked his sister.
βI told you before brother, youβve got it really bΓ£d, and if you wish to make your things easier for yourself, I think youβve got to start asking yourself why you didnβt stop to imagine how itβs possible for the wife you have always known to be as bΓ£d as Mandy and her daughter wanted you to believe.
βBut you have suddenly become so rational now, that you want to see how things correlate, and how possible it is for Mandy to have done this, and why Farida could have done that.
βAnd brother, for the records, I am disappointed that you could hold on for so long, for twenty whole years, standing by your wife, only for you to fail, and fail too woΓ¨fully at the appearance of a girl so little she could be your daughterβ Amarachi said, making Joe begin to look almost sober.
βJoseph, I do not agree completely with Amarachi that you disappointed us by getting carried away, after holding on for so long.
βAnd thatβs because I know how it all happened and I know how it feels to expect after waiting for so long, because Iβve been there before.
βBut Iβll agree with her that it almost appears to take me more time trying to let you know that Nkem is truly pregnant than it took me to convince you to get you to marry a new wife.
βJoe, itβs making me truly upset to know that after what Mandy and Farida did to me in your house, and after her attempt to take my life in the hospital, you still think I have to spend ages to make you believe the things she told me when she felt I wasnβt going to be alive to tell the story.
βWhat would I benefit from making you believe that Faridaβs child isnβt yours, when you know how much I want grandchildren from you?
βWhy would I choose to lie to you about Mandy being the one who tried to kΓ―ll me, and have to act like I didnβt remember anything, just to ensure I remained safe until a perfect solution is got?
“Why would I prefer to be with Nkem if she was as dΓͺspicable as they have made you believe? Why would I pull the stunts I had to pull, just to ensure I ended up staying with her, if Ishe was the one who tried to kΓ―ll me?
βI am your mother Joseph and Iβm worried about how youβre going to be able to reunite with the wife of your youth after they have found a way of putting that Jezebel and her daughter in their rightful olace.
.
βI donβt know how youβre go to be able to get her to forgive you, but Iβll start now, if I were youβ mama said.
βMama please stop okay. Joe doesnβt have any wife to reunite with. All Iβm waiting for is the safe delivery of this miracle baby God gave me to wipe away my tears.
βYes Mama, Iβm waiting and praying for God to perfect the miracle he has started in my life, then I can get a DNA test done, to ensure that my child wonβt have to face paternity questioning and the attendant embΓ rrassment even though I have never known any man aside my husband, all my life.
βBut as for Joe, we have absolutely nothing to reunite for. He will have to find the one who he’ll be able to respect enough not to keep his romance wjth a new wife away from.
βGod who has blessed me after many years, the God who it pleased to take away my shame and reprΓ²aches, will provide for this child and I.
“He will not let us have to wait for Joe to survive neithwr will He allow us suffer any want, because the man I have always loved with my all, chose to allow the devΓ¬l I once called friend, ruin us this bΓ dly.
βAll I want is for the Mandy who chose to stΓ b me this cruΓ¨lly and deeply to be seen for who she truly is, and to ensure that mama, who had accidentally heard and known what she has been up to, remains safe
βI have nothing to do with Joe, and it will remain like that. And if you have ever loved me mama, youβll respect my wishesβ Nkem told mama, tears already flowing on her face.
Joe was already wishing for the ground to open up and swallow him.
He couldnβt believe that after all these years with the woman he loves, a little wave in the ocean had turned to such a great storm, his life has now become a sorry tale.
βNkem my daughter, this is Africa. The only respect I’ll have for you is to ensure that you’re respectfully reunited with your husband, and back bybhus sides as his wife
“I think it would be too harsh to totally condemn him like that. Yes my dear, it would be serving the punishment meant for the one who stΓ²le the meat to the one who didnβt cover the pot properly.
βJoe has been very unfair to you, but we all know that I caused everything with my desperΓ₯tion for a grandchild.
βYou have your own part in all of these too, for not being observant to see the little signs that are always there, when a wolf wears sheepβs clothing,in that one you called friend.
βBut we will all need to forget about the pains, and focus on the gains God gave us.
βPlease my dear daughter, do not make my grandchild have to stay without his father. That child didnβt commit any offΓ¨nce, we didβ mama said, pointing at Joe and herself.
βAmarachi, please help me to my room, I need to lie down for a while, and hope that I hear Joe and Nkem talk in love tones, like they used to do, before my pressure tore them apart, or I have no reason being here.
βIβm better off in the open where Mandy, the tsunami I created for my sonβs household, is able to sweep me away, than stay here, enjoying the peace and love Nkem offers me, while my son, my only son remains at seaβ mama said getting up.
βMama, itβs not like that, please donβt make this difficult for meβ Nkem said, weeping.
βMy love, please listen to Mama, itβs the dΓ¨vilβs handiworkβ Joe said, kneeling besides Nkem.
βLeave me alone!β Nkem screamed, brushing his hands off, but mama and Amarachi, walked out of the sitting room, after Amara told her brother what she had to say.
βBrother, mama didnβt woo her for you. Go back to how it was in the beginning and find a way to bring us our wife back.
βYou created the mess, clean it off yourself, and donβt try to keep hiding behind Mamaβs backβ she said and bounced out.
Joe felt totally helpless, looking at his mother and sister walk away, and at Nkem who was also getting up to leave.
