Chapter 21
.... It's okay, it's okay, mother kept encouraging me,when I had cried my eyes out,she held my hands,what is it son,what has eaten you so deep that you are so hurt,she asked me...
I looked at her, how accurate she was when she declined my marriage to Ehi,oh she'd mock me now,she warned me,she did,but I was blinded by love that never existed,or that existed only in my head....
Amadi,talk to me,I am your mother, what is going on,she asked again....
Mother,I was deceived,I thought Ehi and her family loved me, little did I know I was nothing but a toy in their hands, Ehi never loved me, infact she doesn't love me even now,it was all a game,her mother's plotted everything,she made her marry me even when she had told her she didn't love me, her mother only wanted her to be with me because of what she stands to gain.. I explained.
But how do you know all these,mother asked confused.....
Mother,I over heard their conversation,her mother even asked her to get someone better for herself,I was in tears again....
Hmmmmm,well, let's hope she'd not do as her mother had said,mother said.
How I wish,mother,when I left here yesterday,I met Ehi hugging a man who had brought her home in his car,he brought her home, Ehi has betrayed me mother,I was in tears.....
Mother just starred at me and watched me cried,,,,,,
I know this is the part where you say I told you,I warned you,but you wouldn't listen,I said, cause I knew she was going to say that.....
Well, this is no time for playing the blame game,it was no fault of yours,you were just in love,and loving someone genuinely is never a crime,the only problem I had with you was comfortably willing to let go your family because of a woman,left to me,I have nothing against your choice of a wife, but I was only doing what you father wanted, it is good to love with the heart,but best to have your head inorder while you are at it,you are going to take things easy with yourself,and decide on what you wanttttttt,while mother was still talking, Ehi call came in,I looked at my phone in anger,mother saw the caller,she ignored,and excused herself that she was going to take a bath....
Ehi continued calling,and it was getting me angry,I had to switch off my phone....
Ada came into my room later,big brother,I know I not married yet,and may not be in any position to get involved in your marital affairs,but please, you have to take things easy, please for our sake,she said...
I hugged her tightly,indeed family is everything and one's pillar, thanks alot princess,I appreciate,I don't know what I would have done without you and mother in a time like this, thanks for accepting this prodigal brother of yours back,I said.....
Oh big bro,come on,which one is prodigal brother again,she said laughing....
You have to freshen up and come have breakfast,if your wife couldn't appreciate and keep a man like you,it's her loss not yours,one thing I know,is that I want a man like you as my husband,she said....I hugged her again...
I told her I just wanted to be alone and clear my head, that she shouldn't worry about me,she refused, asking me to at least have a bath,,, Ada can be one hell of a burden,and I didn't have that strength,I took myself into the bathroom and freshened up while she waited...
She switched on my phone,and I heard it ring..
Ada did you put on my phone,I asked from the bath room....
Yes bro and Stan is calling,she replied..
Okay, I'd answer that when am out,I replied...
But I could hear her talking to Stan, telling him I was home....
Ada,,,why did you answer my call,I asked..
Because I am your princess, plus I know who the caller is,she replied...
You can be very annoying,I said ..
I know,and you love me like that,she added...
Getting out of the bathroom,she had left my room,I wore a shot and polo from the few clothes I have in my wardrobe....
As I combed my hair, Ehi's face flashed again in my head,all the time I thought were memories we had came flashing,just then her call came in,I took the phone and ended the call,she called again and I ended,but she wouldn't stop calling,I had to pick up...
Hello honey,she said from her end...
How evil can you be,how mean,what an hypocrite,now listen, please stay away from my life,and my line,I am done with this,you can go live your life,don't call me ever again,I said...
Honey what are you talking about,I am so worried that you didn't come home last night,this is becoming an hobby and I don't like ittttttt
Oh please enough of the drama,I interrupted her,your game is over,my lawyer will send you the divorce papers,I said and hung up,she repeatedly tried calling and I had to block her number,,,,,
I was angry, broken,and mad at thesame time,so much for love...
I lay on my bed and didn't know when I slept off...
Ada came to wake me up,,I didn't even know it was evening already,she said I had guests,and I wondered who they were........
