Wolfax Diaries

Its three days since the whole exposure of falsehood between the two people who have been married for over 20 years now calling themselves husband and wife started. The house was cold from loosing a child to the realities of two uncles helping my dad out with his responsibilities as a man. What did I call him? Is he really my dad? It means I have no dad. I don’t wanna think about that right now. We were all conscious of not stepping on the other person’s toe. The house was in chaos and the only person not so concerned was Tunji (my younger one). Mummy had become a prayer warrior and dad was living in solitude. Nobody dared put on the television. Worship songs were hummed as if the call for forgiveness was a long one.  Mummy was outside on the balcony studying the bible and daddy was inside his room. I just woke up from a sleep. It was as if my brother was still alive. I was scared to close my eyes again but I wouldn’t tell anyone. I heard a car drive in and discovered it w...

General ran after papa. I wanted to run but it was impossible to move my waist. She moved closer to me and all the prayers in the world was recited in a minute. I have forgotten about the money this time. All I wanted was to save my life. Two soldiers walked inside but they couldn’t do anything. She told me to stand up and I told I couldn’t due on my waist. She looked at me and said “your soul belongs to me”. I said amen to please her, and in a while the spirit departed again. She became normal and fell on the ground. I was rushed to the hospital but I made sure I never lost the sight of the cheque. General retrieved his money from Khalif and papa and we made the only option the church. Who will bell the cat remains the problem. Now we are married and I don’t know how to run away from my wife. The spirit still comes sometimes but doesn't torment me any longer. I love the life I live but how can I be living with a woman who knows everything I’m doing and what I’ve done....

At this point I wanted to faint; I didn’t want to believe the confessions from my mother. What could daddy have done so bad that warranted mummy sleeping around that much? Another thing is, I don’t even know my father at this point. Uncle Rafiu is in the hospital and it was time to check what could be done. If he was the one, let him help Ugo and we continue from there. I wasn’t contained again. I couldn’t stop shedding tears. The weight these stories brought on me was huge and I felt I couldn’t bear it again. I screamed and everyone rushed to my side. They were petting me from all sides; I looked at my mum and asked why!!!!!!!! My dad called Engr Uchenna outside and he told him this story. Rafiu started working for my wife over 20 years ago and since then I knew what I’ve been using him for. My job wasn’t paying well and it seemed to me my wife was in charge of the house.   She started controlling me subconsciously and at a time I became a laughing stock in our area...
