MY SISTER’S HUSBAND episode 5 – 6

MY SISTER’S HUSBAND

Episode Five
My sister told me how she woke up one night and couldn’t find her husband beside her, she went to the sitting room to look for him but was surprised to find him locking the door, where are you coming from? She queried him
He told her he has been in the sitting room watching TV
My sister who did not believe her husband was forced to peep through the window, to her dismay she saw Victoria her neighbour’s sister outside that night, tiptoeing towards their door.
That dirty girl? I scre-med
Can you now see why I couldn’t stop thinking
But why didn’t you tell him or confront the girl and your husband? We can at least join hands together and beat the hell out of the dirty girl, we should let her know she is messing with the wrong person, I advised
It is not yet time, she said
When is the time? Anyone that cheats on his/her spouse is evil, I feel like strangling him and that girl, I scre-med
It hasn’t come to that, I know you don’t like Richærd but please don’t do anything funny, I got this, huh?
I nodded my head, meaning that I have agreed with what she said but I was boiling in,side, I wanted to leave my sister’s house immediately because I don’t want to see Richærd but I couldn’t, I needed to deal with him and help my sister till she is okay
My sister was in the bedroom sleeping the next evening and I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when Richærd arrived, after checking on his wife he came to meet me in the kitchen, he greeted me but I ignored him, “babes, u no see me?”
I pretend as if I didn’t hear
Then he touched my br-ast, with all the strength in me, I gave him a slap
Gosh! Tiwa are you okay? He whispered as he was rubbing his cheeks
If you try that again, I will pour hot water on your body, you this womaniser, I threatened
He was shocked, he couldn’t wait, he left the kitchen immediately
I heard him asking his wife, when will Tiwa be leaving? he told her I didn’t greet him when he entered
My sister begged me not to do that, we always pretend to hate each other whenever she is there, we rarely talk or gist, I can handle this, please stay out of it, she pleaded
When my sister resumed back to work the next day, I sent Richærd a text that we needed to talk, he showed up few hours later
I couldn’t help but yell at him, “How dare you? You cheating on me and my sister with that filthy thing? Are you not ashamed of yourself? Dating someone in the same compound you live? You are such a monster
What are you talking about? He inquired
Are you not dating Victoria? The girl next door, your neighbour’s sister
Who? That……… Gosh! Tiwa are you sick?
I’m very okay boy and I know what I’m saying
How can I stoop so low? You even know her name but I don’t ………
Your wife caught you, you can’t deny it
What is all this baby? You know God will punish me if I should think of sleeping with that thing….. girl I mean, she is still a kid, please don’t upset me
Don’t you ever baby me again, i am not your baby, anyways, it is over between us, I raised my voice
Over? Is that what this is all about? Let me tell you this, you are the only girl I sleep with aside my wife, how can she just wake up one day and say I’m dating someone, you guys are not serious, you both are sick, he said angrily and was about to leave when I held his hand

Boluwatife Richærd Bello, you are walking away on me?
Because you are annoying me, you are seriously annoying me, you have been with me for how many years now still you don’t trust me
“It was written all over him that he was serious, oh my God! Richærd is not dating that girl, why did my sister come up with that c*ck and bull story? Is she suspecting us? Hope I am not in trouble already?”

Of course I do, Richærd I trust you and I believe you are not dating that girl but I want us to end this relationsh¡p, I explained
End our relationsh¡p? Why? You still don’t believe me? I can’t ……….
My sister needs you, I interrupted him, she needs your attention, please I want you to make her happy, I love you and I love my sister as well, though she offended me but I don’t want her dead, if anything should happen to her I won’t ever forgive myself
Hmmm! He sighed
We talked for awhile, with tears in my eyes I told him I’m not changing my mind, he drew me near and k-ssed me passionately, we ended up having s€× which I’m very sure it was going to be our last, we were still in the act when my sister opened the door
So it was you? She said and banged the door
Tope, darling, we can’t let her go, Richærd shouted
Oh my God! Why this time that I have decided to let go?

Episode 6

My mother called me later that day, that my sister had been admitted in the hospital

Jesus! Which hospital? I inquired

You are very stupid for asking me such question, you this pr-stitute, home breaker, wh-re, you are nothing but a serpent, wicked soul, there is no name my mother didn’t call me, she threatened to kill herself if anything should happen to my sister but I should be prepared to die first

I tried to convince my mother but she wasn’t ready to listen to me, I couldn’t hold my tears while talking to my mother, I hate to hurt her, how will I face my dad? What will they think about me? The more I think about this the more I cried, I wanted to run away but no, I would rather face my fears, I went to the hospital to see my sister but unfortunately I didn’t meet her there, when I asked the doctor, he told me my sister was not brought to his hospital
She must have been taking to our family hospital, “she went home to report me to our parents and she collapsed while telling them how I stabbed her in the back or how did it happened? Where could she be? I couldnt stop thinking about what could have gone wrong”
I called my mum but she didn’t pick, I thought of calling my dad but fear won’t let me, I called Richærd who had left the house since the incident happened, he told me he’s been calling my sister but her phone is switched off
What will I do now? Where could she be? I decided to go to our family hospital very early the next day, my heart almost stopped when I saw my daddy’s car, “oh my God, sis Tope is definitely here, I walked into the ward and greeted the nurses
They all greeted me and cracked some jokes with me before they told me where my sister was, I gently walked in there, I was embarrassed when my dad scre-med at me

“What are you doing here young lady?”

To kill her or what? You have succeeded in giving her high blood pressure, you want to come and see how far you have gone, right? My mother cried

Stop yelling at her, Bunkunmi, my sister’s daughter cautioned them

What an innocent soul, she doesn’t know what I have caused in her family

I couldn’t help but cry

My mother told me my sister closed very early that day because her boss gave her two days off, she was asked to go home and rest, she was to resume the following week, she was at her tailor’s shop when she saw her husband’s car heading towards the house, she thought he was going home to meet Victoria, she left her car there and decided to trail her husband but she was surprised when she saw him entering their apartment, she gently walked towards the house and heard all our conversation

I never knew you are this heartless, God used her boss to expose you, my mother concluded

She should just leave this minute, I’m not sure I’m your father, my dad scre-med

Even a blind man can feel it that I’m my father’s daughter, I look so much like him

“I have my reasons for doing what I did, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone but I was deeply hurt, my sister offended me and I decided to deal with her ” I explained

By sleeping with her husband? You slept with your sister’s husband, Tiwaaaa your sister’s husband, you disgust me, my mother said

Can you please hear me out? I pleaded

With tears in my eyes I told them why I did what I did.

What are his reason?
