STORY TIME!!!

Episode 14
My wife’s mother showed up very late in the evening
like she promised. It really was such a happy day for
my wife and she really spent almost the whole night
chatting with her mum while i stayed awake in my
room thinking over the situation i was slowly dragging
myself into.
Truly i was very lucky that Nnamdi and his wife were
brilliant folks. They gave me the benefit of trust by
keeping sealed lips instead of damaging my wife’s
fragile heart with such heart blowing information. Of
course i owed them big time.

Early the next day, i headed to my school to conduct
the last exam of the semester while my wife stayed
back at home to prepare and set things in order, ahead
of her holiday trip to Abuja.

10:30am, SCHOOL PREMISES
As I headed back to my office after a very stressful
exam invigilation. I ran into the Senator’s daughter at
the parking lot in front of my office. She was the first to
see me and quickly blocked my path politely.
“good morning sir!. You didn’t attend my parents
Anniversary, what happened?” she instantly queried. I
shrugged and smiled.
“i’m sorry about that. I can still send them my
greetings, can’t I?” i answered calmly. Her eyes
instantly brightened.
“yea you can. Actually i told them about you,
especially my mum. She was disappointed that you
failed to show up after all i said about you” she said
seriously, forcing me to stare at her with disbelief.
“you can’t be serious?. What on earth can you actually
tell them about me?” i asked.
“seriously i don’t know if you can make it to my house
today. My parents are leaving the country on
Wednesday and i really will feel bad if you don’t meet
them after all i said about you. I bet fifteen minutes of
your time will be very much enough to see them” she
added pleadingly while i stood indecisively for some
seconds, wondering why she was so anxious to get me
meet her parents.
“c’mon sir, it’s just fifteen minutes of your time” she
pushed on.
“okay, so how do we go about it?” i asked.
“it’s easy sir, I’ll drive ahead while you follow with
your car” she answered.
“fine, you can come to my office in thirty minutes. I
will be ready by then” i accepted with a smile.
___
An hour later i found myself inside the senator’s plush
residence. Unfortunately the old senator wasn’t at
home, and so i was received by his wife who used up
al the time i spent there asking about my wife, kids,
plans and so on. Very weird questions i must add,
however i answered her diligently and finally headed
home thirty minutes later.
____
Just like on Saturday night. I had great s-x with my
wife as if she was heading to the moon. We rounded
everything up with an early morning quickie which she
called coffee.
“i cooked three different pots of soup, which i evenly
shared in small pots. They are all in the freezer. A pot
of Stew is equally in there. Please just manage
yourself for me. I will be back in no time. I’ll stay only
two weeks with my mum. Promise me you will take
good care of yourself” she begged with a noble heart. I
held her hand and promised a hundred times over that i
will be okay, but deep down i was scared of my future
for no just reason.
It was as if a part of me knew that the promises i was
making wasn’t a strong one. But my wife believed in
me. She loved me with all her heart. All she wanted
was the best for me. A child to seal our marriage
