My Daughter – Episode 8

MY DAUGHTER Episode 8
By Amah

The drama with Lekan’ wife, was really something i will look back and laugh, that beating I received innocently from Lekan’s wife was one of my funniest moment, yes it was suppose to be sad for me, I suppose to cry my heart out or even go to the police and report it but no, because when life becomes your best teacher nothing hurts you any more.

Lekan came to my place that evening, as i was in the room trying to nurse my wound, he didn’t know what had happened earlier, he probably came to remind me of the sex i promised him during the weekend, as i hard a knock on my door, on seeing he was the one, I couldn’t decide on what to do, “should i pour him water, should i spray insecticide into his eyes, should i open the door and abuse him even slap him for lying to me all this while?

I finally came up with a plan,i will make sure he paid for the wound i was inflected with,

as i open the door he was all full of smile waiting to harmer me in bed,

his smile was disgusting but i tried to reciprocate, I smile back sheepishly, when he saw my face and hand swollen, he frown acting as if he cares, asking me if i was involve in an accident, I told him some useless fools did this to me because somebody sold a stolen item to me, I didn’t know and i bought it, they traced me down to the house and gave me beaten of my life and the product i bought wasn’t even a good product,

Indirectly I was referring to him but he was too foolish to code it

Lekan on hearing this shouted, “where are they, where are the imbeciles, they deserve to be arrested for doing this to you, they are animals, why will somebody steal something and sell it to an innocent person, who became a victim, why didn’t they go after the person, why did they come after you, they are stupid fools, I’m very sorry Ibukun,

what item is that, and have you returned it?

“no I haven’t returned it yet but I’m about to do that, first of all i need alot of money to treat myself”

He asked me how much, I mentioned one hundred and fifty thousand naira, he shouted “aaah, Ibukun, that’s too much na”

I frowned and told him i had a fracture on my arm, a broken ribs and a blood shot eyes which will take up-to 200k, to get all fixed and I’m asking for common 150k and he is complaining, he should leave my house

“aah ah, Ibukun , it hasn’t gotten to that, asking me to leave, I didn’t know the injury was all that serious, I thought it was only bruises, okay, I will give you on Monday because i don’t have enough cash here”

I told him to do a transfer to my account right away or i will kick him out and their will not be any sex as i promised him, he was surprised at my reaction but thought is probably the beating i received that was making me to act so mean to him

He transfered the cash immediately, when i saw the alert, I surprised him further by asking him to leave my house and go back to his wife and two sons, I told him he is a loser because he never got his so desired sex but he has being spending just to enter into my precious London,

I told him I’m getting ride of him like the stolen item that he is, i told him i was beaten up because of him and looking at his wife fighting over a useless man who doesn’t even worth it, so so annoying.

he was dumb founded, he tried to explain his reasons for lying but I pushed him out and warned him never to come close to me or he will regret ever meeting me, I threatened him further that i have already reported to the police and his wife will soon be picked up for laying a hand on me.

Well after the whole drama, I continued my life, there was no serious injury, within two week the wound has almost disappeared, Lekan resigned from work and disappeared like tin air, I pity his wife because this type of men, cheating is in their DNA, how many can she fight, some crazy ladies will arrest her, madam fighter, really funny.

I moved on with my life, as if nothing happened, I was grateful to God within me for giving me a warning sign, I knew there was something fishy about him I just couldn’t place it and when i was about waving off my suspicioness and was about giving in to his continues demand for sex God exposed him, I knew right then my instincts where right, that was why i laughed so hard after the drama with his wife.

Mrs Eze, my kind boss took good care of me after she learnt of what happened she gave me a week off to take care of myself and also gave me cash and send me food sometimes some her place, the food was so delicious, she told me that she will soon retire and her only son who just came back from USA will be taking over from her, I was sad because i will miss her, who knows if the son will be wicked or kind.

I became serious with church, but I still have people i pray to God everyday to send his Thunder and strike them.

I started going to Mrs Eze’s church just as she requested.

That Sunday I went to church as normal, I usually go late so that by then they might have finish all that Announcement and co, I will only meet that their long sermon and praises which is my best part after which i will disappear quickly i don’t want all that “sister, “sister church talk or greetings,

I sat in the pew, I felt like somebody was looking at me,

I looked at my left hand side , and there he was, I recognized him and i remembered his name “Chima” he was looking at me before i met his eyes, he wore that his cute attractive smile again, it was engraved on his face, he was really looking good,

I can’t help but smile back waiting for church to end so that i can disappear and won’t come to that church again, I will change to another church,

the only Igbo woman i know that’s kind to me and takes me like a daughter is my boss at the office, Mrs Eze, every other person is like Obinna to me and I’m not giving any of them a chance, I can’t trust Yoruba men or Igbo men because they have really dealt with me.

Is as if Chima knows my thought and stood outside waiting for me,

when i turned after church i didn’t see him i was happy and rushed out, Somebody held my hand suddenly, I quickly turned and he was the one, he smiled but i wasn’t going to fall for that, he pulled me out and tried to engage into a conversation but despite i was already liking him, just the way he act i wasn’t going to allow my feelings to ruin me this time,

I saw Mrs Eze passing by with her daughter before i could opened my mouth to greet her, Chima shouted “mummy, please wait in the car i will join you in a second”

She turned on seeing me and Chima she was surprised, I was was equally shock to realize that Chima was her son, she looked at the guy with me and said

“Chima, what are you doing with Ibukun, that’s the lady i do sing her praises to you, she’s my most trusted staff, do you guys know yourselves before ,

Ibukun that’s my son the one i told you about that will be taking over from me soon, I’m happy you too know each other, Ibukun please come with us for lunch, Chima is international chef he will make us something salivating.

I was so surprised to hear all about Chima, i was really in shock, I turned her offer down and promised her next time, I said my thanks to her and Left, I was very happy.
