OBA One of the things I love about Crystal is that she's down to earth. I always pray for that mother of hers, she did a good job on her daughter. ____________________Toyin Taiwo She’s so respectful and she’s not faking it that’s who she really is. Crystal is the homely type and my family loved her and accepted her. I already told them a lot about her before now. And she didn't disappoint me one bit. After spending some time with them, we set to leave. Crystal boarded the car. I was about to enter into the car when my mum called me back. She said she wants to have a word with me. I told Crystal to wait in the car while I attend to her. "Mummy, se ko si ma (Mummy, hope there's no problem) Don't you like her?" I asked. "Rara o, mo like e (I like her) who wouldn't like a lady who came from a good home" she replied. "So what is it ma that you want to tell me and can’t say in front of her” I asked patiently. "I had a dream my son. It was a very bad dream. I went to my pastor for more clarification on the dream" she paused. "Mummy, go on I'm listening" I said and she continued. "The pastor said He said a very big opportunity is coming your way which will open doors to prosperity. He also said you are destined to be great but the enemy want to steal that glory. The Pastor said the only reason why your God given destiny is intact is because you haven’t soil your hands with sin. He said you should ensure you abstain from pre-marital sex or else something evil is still ahead” She gave the warnings. "Thank you Mummy, I'll heed to your advice" "Please tell Crystal too, so you can both watch out" "Don't worry about Crystal she doesn't believe in pre-marital sex too" "One more thing, the pastor said there's a girl who want to trap you but he said the reason why she hasn't succeeded is because you are pure" "I understand perfectly well" "But who is this girl, that is obsessed with you?" She asked. "Don't worry mum, I know who is it and I'll fix it" I assured her. "Please try and avoid her and be very careful, so the devil won't strip you off your glory. Please I beg of you” She pleaded. "I will ma. Thanks" I said and hugged her. And she bidded me good bye. ____________________Toyin Taiwo I got back to the car and apologized to Crystal for keeping her waiting. "Oba, why did she called you aside. She doesn't like me right?" "Far from it" "Don't lie to me Oba!" She said giving me a ‘I don’t believe you look' "Come off it Crystal, who wouldn't like you. She just warned me about something. "Ok! I believe you" She said calmly. "I'm relocating" I said before starting the car. "This is about Ayo right?" "Something like that" I said and drove into the street. ____________________Toyin Taiwo BEATRICE Three months after the death of my sons. My late mother's friend came to visit me. She just got the news recently and stopped by to give her condolences. “Nnoo dalu” (welcome) I said and offered her a seat. “Kedu ka odi? She greeted. “O di mu mma” I replied "My daughter, I was so shocked when I heard the news o. I traveled to Benin for omugwuo, I just came back" she informed. "Welcome mama, how's is the baby and the parents?" "They are all fine. Nwa m nwaanyi na-eme na i mejoo! (My daughter, who do you offend) Three children ukwa! All in one day! Ifemelu n'etiti?” (What happened?) "Lee m o mama” (See me o, mama) That is what I saw o. Sometimes I still wish it was all a dream" "Hmm...how I wish my friend, your mother was still alive. She would have protected you and your children" I know what she meant. She is my mother's partner in crime when it comes to diabolical things. "Did you suspect anyone that might be responsible for the death of your children?" She enquired. "Who else if not Afam and Amara!" I replied. "Afam I know but who is Amara?" "Mama did you remember the lady Afam impregnated then....... "Huh! Huh! Huh! I re....mem...ber.... But I thought the woman is out of the picture!" she said sounding confused. I looked around to check if there's no one around before I replied her. "Mama it's a long story. Things as gone out of hand o. Afam eyes is now clear. He now has his memory back. He remembered everything" "Eziokwu!" She held her head with her two hands. ____________________Toyin Taiwo "He is now in Lagos. He went back to them when he got back his memory. Infact he will soon move the company to Lagos" "Ana m’anu! (What a story!) See what your mother's death caused. You have no one to fight for you" "I lost everything at the end mama. Nothing came out of the marriage after all I did to have him for myself" "Don't think that way, nwa (child) "It's the truth, nothing to show for over twenty years of marriage with Afam" I she’d few tears, counting my losses. "What's your plan now, what do you intend to do?" She asked. "Nothing o. Like you said, I have no one to fight for me" "Don't say that. I'm here now, I will help" "Really" I said and my heart leapt for joy. "There's one dibia in Amukara village. I'll direct you to him" "Mama! I can't kill them. I already signed an undertaking. I will be the number one suspect if anything happens to them" "You don't need to kill them physically before destroying them, you are not born yesterday. If you know what I mean” "Mama, I've heard of that village before. The place is far, it's like traveling to another place biko" "That means you are not ready to avenge your sons death" "I want to but..... "No but, you have to destroy that woman and her child. I know you don't have your mother's power backing you again but I won't open my eyes and watch her only daughter suffer" "Ok, I'll do whatever you bid me do" "Good" She gave me the address and description on how to locate the dibia in Amukara village. I promised her I'll visit the dibia. I don't have any time in mind because I plan to think it through though I know I have nothing else to loose. ____________________Toyin Taiwo AFAM I went to Amara's house with a ring. I intend to propose to her, I can't stand living without her. I want her back in my life again. She was the only one in the house when I got in. “Kedu” I said and she replied. "What can I offer you?" She asked as she gestured for me to sit. "What I came for is much more important than food Amara" "And what could that be?" I stood up and stood in front of her. "Afam don't scare me, what is it?" I dipped my hands into my blazer pocket and brought out the box of ring and placed it on a stool beside Amara. "I hope this is not what I think it is!" She said pointing at the little box. "It is Amara. I want us to get back together and I want it legal this time. I lost you once and I don't plan on loosing you again" "Afam, I can't give you children. Even if I want to but I can't. I've reached menopause. "I'm not marrying you for children, we have Crystal and she's better than ten sons put together. I want this because I want to spend the rest of my life with you" I poured out my heart. "Are we not too old for this?" "Is there a age restriction for marriage?Well, except for minors. Amara let's spend the time we have left with the only person we ever loved in our whole lives" "Afam, it's our daughter's marriage we should be preparing for and not.... "The more reason why we should make ours snappy" I cut in. "Or you want us to sit next to each other on that day as illegitimate couples!" "Afam.... "I know it from the very first day I set my eyes on you again that you still love me. Let's put the past behind us and move on" "Okay" she shrugged. "It's that a yes?" ____________________Toyin Taiwo She smiled and nodded. I picked the box from the stool, opened it and brought out the diamond that cost me a fortune but the woman standing before me worth much more. I took her left hand as I slide the ring into her fourth finger. She smiled and a stray tear escaped her eyes, I understood everything without her saying a word. I hugged her and I whispered sweet things into her ears. "What's going on here?" I released Amara from the embrace, we both look back and standing by the door is Crystal and Oba. ____________________ Toyin Taiwo 25 Likes 1 Share |
