The beast i called my husband episode 7 – 8

THE BEAST I CALLED MY HUSBAND

CHAPTER 7
*
[EDITED]

Davidson left the house around 8 am. So I used that opportunity and went in,side the house.

Surprisingly Davidson didn’t lock the door he kept it open I guess it is because of me.

I went in,side and arranged the house as usual. After arranging the house I went into the bathroom and took my bath dressed up then prepare a delicious jollof rice for my husband.

I packaged it in a food flask and took in to him in his workshop.

I was afraid at first but the way he treated me was something else.

He treated me like a Queen even his workers were very jealous.
“You love this your wife very much o” said one of his boys.
“Yes o, she is my Queen” he replied.

“Guy you are very lucky” one of his friends said.

“I’ enjoying the wife of my youth, na God give me this beautiful wife which I was not even worthy of it” he replied.

After eating I arranged the plate and took it home.

***

I reached home around 12:30 pm because I branched and bought things from the market to use it and cook Afang soup which was my husband favorite soup, for dinner.

I don’t want him to come back and stay hungry. He did not give me any money and I didn’t ask of it either.

I wanted to surprise him so I used my own money to buy it. I cooked the food with my wh0le heart.

I make sure the house was intact. I went and had my bath, put on perfume and also my night gown waiting for him in the sitting room, I was even watching movie not to get bored while waiting for him.

While waiting I slept off.

I woke up hearing hærd knocks on the door.

“Open this door” he said banging at the door.

“Who is that?” I asked.

“Come and open this door Anita” he commanded.

The way he shouted I knew am in big trouble when I check the time it was pass 10.

When I opened the door I got a hot slap for my right cheek.

“Next time you should not keep me standing outside” he said and went in,side.

I stood there speechless while he went in and took his bath. He dressed up as person that wants to go out after taking his bath.

I went in,side the kitchen and warmed the soup. I brought it out and placed it on the dinning table. Honey come and eat I called. To avoid you don’t have respect I added honey to the calling.

He came to the dinning table.

“Who gave you the money to cook this food?” He asked.
“I used my own money to cook the food, I just wanted to surprise you my sweetheart” I said with a lovely tune.

“Are you the man of this house?” He ask.

“No sir. I just wanted to surprise…” before finishing the last sentence, he bath me with the soup, and gave me a heavy slap again.

“What did I do? am just trying to be good for you for goodness sake” I said with tears rolling down my eyes.

“Your father is the cause of your misfortune, what he did to my me years ago is still hurting me” he said.

“I have already apologized to you” I said. He went in,side and brought out his wh¡p (koboko) and flogged me like I was a common criminal and even punch my stomach.

I was at the point of death when he left me there and went out. I managed and put my friend on call the way I sounded got her worried I know that.

“Your husband has done it again abi?” she asked.

“Yes..” I replied weakly.

“Don’t worry I know what to do” she said and hung up the call.

I crawled to the bedroom climb the bed and laid down weeping.

What has my father done to this man apart from what he said that time?

I wept, I don’t even know when I slept off.

***

The next morning I manage to get up and start cleaning the house when my husband bagged into the house like a criminal.

He went straight to pop 0p the bathroom and took his bath. He came out from the bathroom after few minutes and dressed up. He went and sat on the chair facing the dinning table after dressing up.

“Bring my breakfast for me” he ordered. I immediately went into the kitchen and did what he instructed me to do. I brought the hot water in a jug and his teacup. I took the beverages to him too. He did his tea on his own and starting eating.

While he was busy eating and I was busy arranging the house we heard a knock on the door.

“Who is that?” I asked.

“Young lady, go and open the door” he ordered from the dinning table. I rushed and opened the door thinking it was my husband’s friend that came to visit but lo and behold it was Police officers.

I was shocked beyond measures. “Honey…” I called out for my husband which he did come leaving his food on the dinning table.

“What brought you to my house this early morning?” Davidson asked.

“Are you Davidson?” one of the cops asked and based on the rank I think the man that ask the question was an Inspector.

“Yes I am Davidson” he replied.

“I am Inspector Yakubu and you are under arrest for domestic violence what ever you say or do now will be used against you in the court of law.” before I could alter any word they hand cuffed my husband like a common criminal, they took him out to their car I immediately followed them with my night gown on me into their car and off we all went to the station.

When we all got to the station I was shocked when I saw my friend, my elder sister, my mother and my father in the police Station waiting for my husband’s arrival.

CHAPTER 8
[EDITED]

The most shocking part was immediately my dad set his eyes on Davidson, he went and slap him, brush him down and used his working stick to hit Davidson head.

He hit him so hærd that Davidson started bleeding. It was the police that separated them if not my dad could have killed Davidson.

“Stop Dad!” I yelled “He is still my husband!” I added.

“Shut up he is a beast!” my Dad retorted.

“A man that can beat his wife half dead and leave her, and went to his concubines what kind of man is that?” my father said p-nting heavily, he was so angry that he even want to tear Davidson into pieces.

The Inspector with anger after hearing what my father said, slapped Davidson, blood was gushing out from Davidson nose.

“He is my husband and no matter how he wants to treat me let him do so that is non of your business father” I said crying, but my father paid deaf ear to my saying.

“No one will save you! you will stay here for 7 days!” my father said to Davidson.

“I’m a lawyer Dad and my husband won’t stay here” I said with anger.
My mom tried to make me understand but I refused, even my friend but I paid deaf ears. What I got last was a heavy slap from my father, this is the first time my father is slapping me. I kept calm.

“If you bail this man within 7 days I will frustrate you in your profession and your every day life, I swear on my life” My Dad said, and when he says something he will do it to the end no matter what, so I got no choice but to obey his command I went home so sad that my husband is in the Police station and I can’t do anything to save him.

The next day I visited Davidson. The state I saw him was so pitiful. The police have disfigured his handsome face, broken his legs, Davidson was leaping. We sat down on a desk and started discussing.

“How are you?” I asked.

“Are you trying to mock me?” he replied.

“No! Not at all” I replied quickly.

He was very humble to the extent I came to think whether he was the husband I knew.

“I am not mocking you I brought food for you to eat” I said unpackaging the food. Someone that use to pour food on my head ate my food like a hungry lion he was eating so fast I was just staring at him.

After he finished eating I arranged the foodflask. He stood up and k-ssed me.

“Thank you for the delicious meal” he said and was taken back to his bunk for another round of proper beating.

‘Bringing him here was a good idea’ I thought.

After the seven days I went to pick him up from the police station.

When I reached I ask for Davidson my husband.

“Over there” one of the cops pointed to the direction were Davidson was sitting.

He was sitting beside me but I couldn’t recognize him because of the heavy beating they gave to him.

He couldn’t walk so I took him by the hands.

“You have a good wife and you are misbehaving. Everything is in your wife, the backside, the front and everything, even ready to fight her parents because of you. So this is how somebody who has a diamond will be looking for brass.” One of the male cops said.

“You are a stupid man” the Inspector who walked out of this office ch¡pped in.

I walked into car and he sat down.

“The praises are getting into your head, right?” he asked. I guess it was a rhetorical question as I didn’t answer and drove home.

When we reached our house someone was already waiting for us. She stood by the side. It was Davidson’s mother an average height woman.

But she is so strick and wicked according to the people that gossip about her.

She is a ruthless human being very wicked to the core.

But I haven’t experienced it, then I knew I was in a serious problem.

She has a squeezed face — a woman with wicked heart.
She was the one that told her children not to allow any woman control them —let them be wicked to all woman according to one of her daughters in-law.

But since they have been talking about this woman I have not lived with her in the same house. The times I visited her in the village, those days Davidson and I were still dating she use to treat me nicely. Or was she a wolf in sheep clothing?

‘It’s left for me to find out’

****

I believe she’s in deep trouble now.
