DECISIONS 4

With all these revelations there is nothing else to discuss. The issues between us are over. There is no apology that can turn back the hands of time. Even my parent won’t want their child to get married to a man who has six kids or more outside and his major objective of living is sleeping around all sorts of ladies including maids. I cried as we were going back home. I was tired and frustrated. My lines were ringing; friends were calling and stupidly on everyone’s DP my picture with his is always there with PM reading 4days to go. I really need four days to get out of this town.  I told Ngozi to start arranging a runaway plan for me. I can’t stand explaining this to anyone. My parent would do that. I won’t even tell them where I am going to. I would just call them up and let them know I’m good. All these were my plans.  Immediately we got home I walked straight into my room. I needed to be alone to remain sane. A little bit of tears in everybody’s eyes and I k...

DECISIONS 3

It was Uncle Charles’s cool word that stabilized mum. He was called into this mess when it turned out to be a little beyond the physical. I recalled all the moments I’ve had with Desmond and I can say categorically there was none that he showed he had a child somewhere. Now Helen wants to leave, we really can’t keep her. I started feeling polygamous already. I know my husband to be has two male children or more outside our intending matrimonial home already. I’m about entering a life of struggle and the fear of what I went through in my house growing up is what I’m about experiencing. When mum was fully stable, Uncle Charles called for prayers. Africans disturb God with their prayers and I know in heaven they would be tired of how lethargic and dependent Africans are. The prayers lasted for like ten minutes and the echoing amen were directed towards heaven. In Jesus mighty name we pray ……….. Praise the Lord alleluia. Now prayer is over, it’s time for action. I can’t sit here a...

DECISIONS 2

The same shock I went through was now being exposed to everyone at home. Everyone asked questions like I knew the answer until they turned to Helen to tell them if it was really true. She narrated the story again and again until the conviction was grand. I started hating Desmond from that moment but would I call off my wedding I’ve been planning for six months off because I knew he got a woman pregnant?   What if she was telling a lie? I kept a part of me in that denial of she might be telling a lie. After a while we were all convinced about her story and it was time to summon the culprit in this whole saga. Uncle Ben told me to call Desmond and put the phone on speaker. I should behave I never knew something was wrong and stylishly invite him to the house to face Helen and the truth would be known at that point. I dialed his number after so much composure and he smoothly started the conversation again. I asked how his day had been and he started the whole jargon ses...

DECISIONS

We’ve all made decisions in life and either it is right or wrong, it’s dependent on the outcome of those decisions. The truth is life doesn't allow a free flow of triumph around us all. Our efforts need to count and the distractions that affect us are later called indecisions. There are lots of things as humans we cannot decide. All through childhood through teenage hood decisions were made for us. Adulthood gave the power of choices to many of us. It was an invention to a lot of us thus making a mistake was a regular. The hardest decision I’ve ever had to make was the one I am about either regretting or going through with it. Marriage: a passage rite for all through which we transform from single to married; A conviction of a life time with or without stress; an acceptance of a partner in whom your existence lay and finally a decision that can make you or mar you if it ends up being wrong.  The stage is set already, marriage classes are over. The Aso Ebi and souvenirs...
