Love Lies And Divorce – episode 4
LOVE, LIES AND DIVORCE
EPISODE 4
‘No baby, let’s stay out of it, they’ll sort themselves out somehow.’ Zainab protested.
He was about to say something when the door flung wide revealing a fearful Lola
She looked so fragile and vulnerable…
‘I guess she took my offer…’ Zainab rose to welcome her friend.
‘Good evening….i am sorry I barged into the house like this…it’s just the dogs…..their barking and growling terrified me…’Lola placed her hands on her chest.
‘welcome Lola, I am sorry about that…you know how much I love dogs….’ Abdul gazed at her slowly…had she been crying?
‘darling? Could you go to the room and check on the kids’? Zainab deliberately sent her husband away…she needed to comfort her friend, one look at Lola would tell anyone that she needed to talk to someone…
‘did you really have to do that? Hope I didn’t interrupt anything?’ Lola forced a smile as she took a seat…
She always envied the peace and harmony Zainab’s marriage offered…she always wished Femi could turn a new leaf and they’d such a beautiful family…but Femi was a devil…
‘No, you just came at the right time’ Zainab replied…
‘I’m sorry I missed the date…I am really….’ She gestured with her hands
‘it’s okay…are you ready to talk now? Is the woman still with him?’ Zainab stared at her face intently …like she was trying not just to read a book but to comprehend the words written on it…
‘yes she is gone…but I’ll tell you everything tomorrow…all I need is some rest right now…..’ she avoided Zainab’s piercing eyes…
‘that’s fine…let me go prepare you a bed….’ Zainab picked her bags and disappeared for a while….
‘I can’t believe this is happening to me….i am officially a divorcee…’ Lola chuckled softly …but the sound didn’t appeal to her ears…she was going crazy and it all had to do with Femi…
‘it’s ready dear…. ‘ Zainab retuned minutes after and led Lola towards the room.
‘how are the kids? Is Umaima ten yet? I promised to buy her a gift on her tenth birthday…’ Lola loved spending time with children…why couldn’t God bless her with one?
‘she would be ten nextweek, get that gift ready…maybe you should see them before they sleep…’ Zee chuckled softly
‘yes, that’s a good idea…what does Umaima like?’ Lola rubbed her chin…
‘Only Umaima can answer that’ Zainab replied and pushed the door open…and found her husband playing with the kids.
‘Abdul! I told you to put them to sleep….’ Zainab shook her head as she picked up the medium sized pillows they’d thrown carelessly on the floor…
‘Aunt Lola…’ the kids surrounded her and she held herself from crying…why was life so cruel? All she wanted was something as beautiful as this?
‘are you angry with me dear wife’? Abdul pulled Zainab to his laps and gave her a brief k-ss…she pushed him away gently as she hated amorous display before her kids.
‘so daddy took us shopping today…guess what Aunt Lola? I have a new shoe….’ Umaima grinned excitedly….
‘wow, I am happy for you….’ Lola smiled and looked up and found his dark eyes on her…his eyes reminded him of Femi’s….
‘Can I show you my new toys’? Abdulkhadir was eager to show them to her…..
‘why not sweetheart? Where is Aisha?’ she was the youngest of the trio….
‘soundly asleep…’Abdul replied and called the kids back to bed…
‘don’t worry, Aunt Lola would have all day to spend with you guys okay? Goodnight my angels…’ Lola waved at them and followed Zainab steadily behind ….
‘the room is lovely….i am happy you could do this for me….God bless you abundantly….’ Lola’s voice was husky with emotion….
‘it’s nothing…friends are for times and seasons as this…sleep well Lola….’ She closed the door gently behind her….
‘how is she now….’? Abdul rolled over and faced his wife as she slipped on her nightgown and lay close to him….
‘she will be fine,…..asking her to come over was the best thing to do…she would get over this…’ she turned and backed her husband…
She needed some sleep as she had a lot to do the next day, Abdulkhadir and Umaima were returning to the boarding house in two days time, she needed to go shopping for their uniforms and stationeries …the holidays were over …
‘how about us? Remember our plans for tonight….’ He snuggled close to her and wrapped his hands all over her…she smelt of jasmine and honeys-ckle …
‘baby?….what plans’? she gro-ned and tried to uncurl his firm arms from her wa-ist…why was her husband bent on being naughty?
‘I need you Zee…can’t you see? A man is dying here you know….’ He pushed her back closer to his hærd member…..why were women this naïve sometimes?
‘not tonight Abdul…’ she turned and faced him, to say she married a handsome man was an understatement, Abdulazeez was very good looking….
He was tall and muscular…his tanned skin was smooth and beautiful to touch…his l-ips were thin and sensuous…his nose like Most Fulani men, was perfectly pointed but it was his eyes that pleased her greatly….
‘I love your eyes…always dark and gentle…to look at…’ she k-ssed his forehead and they stayed that way for some minutes…
‘I love yours too…Zainab, I want you to touch me….’ His hands roamed her body…he ached with need and his wife was being coy about it…
‘Am not in the mood Abdul…I am tired and kind of Unsettled…we will do this tomorrow, I promise….’ She k-ssed him again…
‘it’s not fair…why do you always starve me….?’ He was getting irritated by her pious behavior…sometimes she acted like making love was dirty…like it was sinful…
‘starve you? But we had s€× three weeks ago…come on baby…don’t be inconsiderate…just let me take a rest …we can always do this some other time…’ she pleaded with him….
‘alright, can you give me a hand job’? his eyes were pleading, he was desperate…
‘hand job? What’s that?’ she sat up suddenly….
‘can I have your hands….?please’? he requested sweetly….
‘sure…have them…’ she handed him her fingers and he dropped them directly on his crotch…she gasped in shock and pulled her hands away from him….
‘Zee…come on…help a brother out here…’he bit his lip in frustration….
‘goodnight Abdul…a little night of abstainance wouldn’t kill you a bit…sleep well baby…’ she burrowed into the blanket and zoomed off….
‘damn!’ he cursed and fell back on the bed….
…. To Be Continued.
