*SISTER DEBBY*
*Episode 14*
As my pregnancy grow bigger and bigger, I had to stop working because the stress and pain I experienced was too much. It was like I have never been pregnant before because Esther’s pregnancy wasn’t stressful at all.
At first, I ignored Raymond’s advice to stop work, not until the day I fainted in the class. After much persuasion from Raymond and the principal of Marris school, I had no choice but to stop work.
The act of staying at home began to cause a problem between Raymond and I as we were constantly yelling at each other. Truth be told, he was a very busy person but he needed to create time for me. Sometimes, he will receive emergency calls in the middle of the night and will have no choice but to leave for the hospital.
This issue raged for more than two months without doing anything about it until the day he came home and met me packing my things into a traveling bag. With surprise written all over his face, he asked what was happening but i ignored him till I was done with packing my things.
After packing my things, I told him since he wasn’t ready to give me the attention and care I need then i would go where it would be given to me. I then took the box and made to leave the room but it he carried me and took the box away from me. That day, I wished I was fat so that I would have pushed him away with my body.
He pleaded and pleaded with me but I ignored his pleas and told him that no matter what he says, I will leave the house whenever he is at work. When he saw that I remained obstinate, he then promises to employ an assistant so that he would have more time for me. Hearing that softened my heart, I promise not to run away if he brings his promise to realization.
Something about Raymond was that he hated promise and fail hence he kept to his word then we became the happy couple we were before.
It was our church’s 25th anniversary and a three days crusade which was held before marking the anniversary. A guest pastor was invited to minister to us during the anniversary ceremony. The program was awesome until something unusual happened.
The pastor mounted the pulpit and started worsh¡pping God, it was an awesome period as everyone was lost in worsh¡pping God. After a moment of worsh¡p, he said he had prepared a message to preach but Holy Spirit told him to share his story with us.
He started by saying he was born into a godly home as his parents were pastoring a church then but the devil chose to use him as an instrument of destruction. He went on and on by saying many atrocities he committed, and experience he shared nearly made me mad.
He shared an experience where he and his two boys were paid to rape one Okpara Deborah in the University of Ibadan, he said being the one to break her hymen made him solemn. He didn’t know when he reported himself to the police and was sent to prison, he met Christ in the prison and was released after spending a year in the prison as the new government ordered the release of every prisoner.
As he was narrating his story, I was weeping silently because I was sure he was the one who raped me alongside his two boys. I took a better look at him and suddenly had a flashback of what happened. I didn’t know when I scre-med and ran out of the church.
My husband understood what was happening and ran after me immediately.
He quickly held me so that I won’t do anything stupid to myself.
Raymond: please calm down dear
Me: sweetheart, he is the one, I know him. He and his boys raped me…..he is.
Raymond: calm down my love
Me: no, I won’t calm down. Don’t tell me to calm down because you don’t know the pain and disgrace I went through
Raymond was speechless, when he saw that I was already distracting people and he couldn’t calm me down, he carried me into the car and drove me home.
Getting home, our Pastor’s wife called Raymond to ask what happened but before he picked the call, he handed me a cup of water. After drinking the water, I slept off.

Episode 15
I woke up only to find myself on the bed, I was hearing a noise coming from the sitting room so I decided to go check if all was well. I changed into something comfortable then went down to the sitting room only to see Raymond, our pastor, his wife, and the rapist sitting down and discussing. They were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn’t notice my presence.
Seeing Raymond discuss with the rapist angered me so much. I ran to him and gave him a slap.
Me: so, this all your plan huh? You drugged me so that you could talk to this idiot that calls himself a pastor abi?
Raymond: (ignored the slap) mind the way you talk to a man of God, all that happened in the past. Mind you, I never drugged you, I only gave you sleeping pills because you were stressing yourself and the baby
Me: (gave him another slap) in the past indeed, why won’t you say that because you didn’t know what I went through. I hate you, in fact, I regret marrying you
Pastor and his wife were so shocked to see me behave the way I did. I was also surprised I behaved that way but I guess the past almost made me a madwoman or should I say that the pregnancy contributed to what was happening?
Pastor’s wife:(tried to come closer to me) Debby, please stop behaving like this. You have no reason to say such cruel words to a man who loves you dearly
Me: ( was moving away from her) no one should come near me because I don’t want to hear anything from anyone
I kept moving back without knowing that I was already at the tip of the stairs. As I was about to move backward, I missed my step and fell heavily on the stairs. My name was being scre-med as my vision became blurred. All of a sudden, there was blackout everywhere.
I was rushed to the hospital and taken to the theatre immediately where a caesarian section was carried out on me. I was told that if the CS wasn’t carried out, the baby might not survive another hour in the womb.
I woke up after spending five hours in a coma, I managed to sit up and noticed that my stomach flat. I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen when I tried to stand up. I scre-med attracting one of the nurses on duty.
Nurse: thank God you are awake
Me: what happened to my baby?
Nurse: you had a terrible injury so we had to operate you and bring out the baby
Me: he was just seven months, did he survive? Is my son fine?
Nurse: calm down ma, he is in the incubator. He is a very strong boy and has been responding to treatment. Coolval stories Let me inform Doctor Raymond that you are awake
I lay down on the bed after the nurse left my ward. Despite the unbearable pain I was experiencing, the news of my son being alive and healthy gave me joy.
Raymond walked into my ward looking tired and disorg-nized. He planted a k-ss on my forehead but I knew something was amiss. The glitter that was always in his eyes whenever he wants to k-ss me was no longer there. I thought he would take me into his arms and pet me but left me after telling me to get well.
I was discharged after three weeks and my son was free to go home with him after spending a month in the incubator. It was a period of happiness for my immediate family and in-laws. We had a glamorous naming ceremony, he was named IfeOluwa, Desmond, Opeyemi Ajakaye.
After the naming, Raymond was always showing his fatherly care but he withdrew himself from me. He doesn’t return my k-sses and hugs, talking to him was something I couldn’t do again. I did everything possible to know what went wrong but he remained withdrawn.
After months of trying to win him over, I decided to let him be hoping he would come around someday. I became unhappy again and the only thing that gave me joy was watching my son grow. I started regretting getting married despite all I went through. I couldn’t tell anyone because I am not a fan of discussing my marital issues with people.
I bought a diary and started writing everything about my life in it with the hope of making it a story one day. I titled it MEN AND THEIR DECEIT.
IfeOluwa’s first birthday was approaching and I decided to celebrate it. Consequently, Esther’s sixth year birthday was also approaching as they share the same month. Raymond bought wears and things for Esther and Ifeoluwa but didn’t bother about me. I ignored it since my kids were well taken care of.
A lot of things were put in place for the birthday party as Raymond provided every needed thing to make it successful. A day before the birthday, I was writing something in my diary when I had the urge to urinate.
I went to the toilet and before I came back into the bedroom, Raymond came into the room and was going through my diary.
Me: How dare you meddle in my personal affair?
Raymond: MEN AND THEIR DECEIT, what an interesting topic. I never knew I was a deceitful man
Me: of course you are, you married me because you needed a child and as soon as you got it, you became a stranger to me
Raymond: like seriously?
Before I could reply to him, he covered my mouth with his and k-ssed me as if his life depended on it. In a twinkling of an eye, our clothes were laying on the floor while the mo-ns of our s€×ual pleasure filled the room.
