Wolfax Diaries

What would make a mother want to give her son a second wife, I thought? I flipped through the pages of the book as we were driving home, and noticed it was all about prayers and silence. Being slow to anger and believing things could change through prayers. This won’t work with this woman I’m about to go spend time with. The first couple of days were critical in both ways by our carefulness but from the third day, we started stepping on toes. E channel was an abomination in the house, and African magic was the main channel. It was a particular movie that was about to cause the next problem. We were both in the sitting room that afternoon when the movie started. A particular pregnant woman was walking home from the market, and a spirit entered her. She became possessed and the blessing of pregnancy became a curse. She started shaking her head as the movie preceded and afterwards told me if I knew all these things are possible.  The woman really suffered though, but it...

It took lots of convictions and grumbling before mama accepted to sleep in the living room. We packed her bibles and devotionals and put it beside her for consolation. The TV was on till morning; leaving it on TBN (trinity broadcasting network) to support the bible in the pursuit of the demon that is causing bad dreams. At the end of the day it was a sleepless night.  Mama woke us up three times before dawn. First time was like an hour after we left her. She knocked the door to our room and said she needed to pee. Mama, there is a toilet for visitors in the sitting room and you walk pass it to wake us up. I left her with Patrick. There was a second and a third; I wasn’t interested anyway.  I was the first to wake up. I sneaked into the kitchen to make mama’s food for the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were made before 7.30 in the morning and I rushed to the bathroom to bath. I was dressed when Patrick came out of the bathroom and he started laughing. You’r...

Settling down wasn’t difficult for mama. Has she entered her room; I took her driver to the room at the boy’s quarters. The first complain from mama was the colour of the bed sheet and curtains. She hates red as she said though. Thus we had to look for brighter colours to change the fabrics in the room. Rushing out of room’s adventure; I had to make breakfast for my mother in law. I got the normal cereal and set all for tea. Toasted the bread and fried the sausage. Garnished the sides with fried eggs also. While all was set walked into mama’s room to tell her table was set. She said thank you my daughter.  She walked to the dinning and called us to join her. I just finished having my bath so Patrick was on the table first. I got myself clothed and hurriedly came out of the room to join mama for breakfast. Surprisingly she was not eating. She said on Sundays she eats fried rice for breakfast, pounded yam for lunch and fries for dinner. I nearly fainted when I heard t...

I was already asleep when Patrick came back. That was how the first night was wasted. The next episode of my interaction with my new mother was the issue of honeymoon. The following morning was thanksgiving and after service we sat to discuss again. Every spare time she has, it was for discussion. She started from the fact that we should enjoy ourselves and do whatever we wanted to but not wasteful. Where would you like to go for your honeymoon? I tried to be considerate based on the family I’m coming from, and I said South Africa; her countenance changed like; what am I saying? She continued with don’t you listen to news at all…….. I said, although I haven’t finished discussing with Patrick……… then Patrick walked inside. He greeted his mum and said he needs to see me, and that was a saving grace. I told him I don’t like the way mummy used to call me aside to get to know what was happening in our family, and he said I should try as much as possible to make myself unavai...
