You know this saying "where a man's treasure is that's where his heart is". This was the story of Douglas, he always visits his lover Sandra not minding his wife's reaction towards that. He's always available but not reachable by his wife Shola. Shola can't remember when last they had sex like couples should.
Shola out of anger and loneliness called her friend Jennifer and broke the sad news to her.
Shola......Hello
Jennifer.....Babe hope all is well, this one you are calling this late?
Shola......Babe all is not well oooooo, I'm losing my mind.
Jennifer.......Ah, please calm down and get hold of your self. What happened?
Shola......Babe many things has gone wrong. I don't even know where to start from. Douglas has finished me.
Jennifer.......What about him?
Shola.......I had no idea that Douglas was having an affair with his ex Sandra.
Jennifer.......Ah ah ah, you said what?
The Douglas that I know or another one?
Shola......That's not even the main problem now, the problem now is that he impregnated her and has made her place his home. Babe my husband hardly come home these days and even when he do, he doesn't touch me.
Jennifer......Hey, this men are full of surprises. Who could've believed that Douglas can cheat. But how did you find out babe?
Shola.......Just last week. I drove home from your place to bump into them. I'm losing my home babe, what do I do?
Who do I run to?
Why did Douglas choose to disgrace me like this?
Jennifer .......Babe don't worry, I promise you that he will come around. Stop crying, this is not time to cry but act. Try come around the house let's put our heads together and plan on what to do.
Shola......ok, I will try come tomorrow or next.
Shola dropped the call and burst into tears.
She was still crying when her husband came in around 11:54pm. Douglas tried to ignore Shola but on his way upstairs Shola grabbed him and said: So you think you can leave this house and come back when you please? Shameless man, you now hang out with your pregnant side chick?
Douglas......Hey woman mind how you talk to me else.......
Shola....Else what?
What else can you do to me that's worst than the one you already did?
You are the only man I know who don't value home. You want to scatter your home because of your ex?
Douglas......Will you leave my shirt before I lay my hands on you!
Meanwhile, which home are you talking about?
A home without children?
The only home I can see is the one I'm building with Sandra. You are my worst mistake. I shouldn't have listened to my parents then, I would've married Sandra but because of their tribalistic attitude I ended up marrying you now look where it got me. They are all dead but I'm the one who lives to regret this alone.
Shola.....Got angry and slapped Douglas, this got Douglas angry that he beat Shola mercilessly.
Douglas gathered few of his things and went back to Sandra's place that same night. He rang the bell and Sandra got the door but was so surprised to see him back because she wasn't actually expecting him that night again.
Douglas....... Looking at Sandra emotionally and said, You are the one I love. I don't care what people say anymore.
Sandra......Come here honey, she kissed him so passionately and took him to her inner room.
Douglas gateman... Heard Shola screaming in pain inside the house, he hurried in to check on her only to see her all bruised up, he rushed her to the hospital and went back home. Shola was attended to asap, she called her friend Jennifer and explained all that happened to her, Jennifer got up not minding the time and went to meet Shola.
Jennifer........You mean that idiot have the boldness to do this to you his wife?
Shola....... Douglas wants to kill me because of his side chick. It shall never be well with Douglas and that lady.
Jennifer........Babe don't worry ok, get well first then we will fight back.
Dianna's mum went home after being walked out by her daughter and was fusing about in anger. Amanda heard her mum from inside and came out to know what the problem was
Amanda.....Mum who could have got you this upset?
Her mum.....Who else aside your sister. Your sister has the momentum to ask me out of her house. I will deal with that girl in a mature way. I will make sure she regret her actions. A girl I gave birth to insulted me right in front of a total stranger.
Amanda......Mum the Dianna I know can't do this except you triggered her to. And besides what were you even doing at her place? You never liked visiting her.
Her mum......Mechie gi onu nsi idiot. ( shut up your mouth) I'm her mum so I have every right to visit my daughter whenever I chose. Let me warn you, tell your sister to quit whatever rubbish she has with that Yoruba man else she will see the other side of me .
Amanda.......Mum, let me be very honest with you, this thing you are doing is wrong. You don't tell your heart who to love, my sister is very much in love with this man, this man has never wronged her in any way and you want her to quit the relationship?
Just like that?
Haven't you realized that my sister is aging forward and not backwards?
Mum what is it exactly you hate about Yoruba men?
Her mum.......I'm I the one you are talking to like that? She landed her a slap and was about to double the slap when Amanda defended it and said, mum for your information, even I my self is dating Hausa man and we are planning to settle down. The earlier you leave we your daughters alone to make our best choices in marriage the better for you. So what ever you are planning to do to my elder sister do that to me too. She went back inside her room and lock the door.
Her mum....What did you just say?
My own daughter settling down with onye ugwu ( Hausa person) God forbid it. It will never happen in this house. I'm the one who gave birth to all of you so whatever I say stands. What's wrong with all this children? Why can't they see from my own side of view?
We and these people are not compatible and will never be.
This people are murderers, they are full of lies. you can't enjoy your marriage because they would make sure you don't. Everything you do ends up a taboo to them. Just as she was saying it she burst into serious tears. She started reflecting back and can't help her tears from running like tap. Now let me digress a little. Dianna's mum use to have a younger sister that she loves like no other, her sister fell in love with a Yoruba man and eventually got married to him but things went from bad to worst because of this man's lifestyle. He womanizes, beats his wife whenever she complains about it. His parents always supports him for beating his wife. To them that's the only way to ensure that their daughter in-law doesn't overshadow their son. The last beating was the one he gave her while she was 8 months pregnant, she went into false labor, lost her baby and her life at the process. Dianna's mum her self married a man who's Hausa by tribe, this man literally dealt with her. Not just that he beats her but also forces his way into her anus. She was still battling with that when he went and marry another woman and not up to 6months he married another one. Her pain increased when these women gave birth and she hasn't. That was when she remembered that her dowry hasn't been paid completely so she still have the right to remarry. She left the marriage and got married to Dianna's father Mr. Nnamdi after 2 years.
Dianna's father took really good care of her and never made her regret marrying him till he died. So to Dianna's mum she can't sit and watch her children suffer what she and her late sister suffered. She said to her self, over my dead body will I let history repeat itself.
