My father’s young wife 1 – end

# ~MY_FATHER’S_YOUNG_WIFE~
#1

Being the only son in my family, I was treasured by my parents and was given everything that I needed. My 2 sisters used to complain a lot about it
but as far as I was concerned, they had all they wanted.

It was fun being the only son and I used to spend money without been scolded for it. We were a happy family and had each others back always. Dad always encouraged us to be each other’s keeper.

When I was in grade 10, mum fell ill. She spent 2 weeks in hospital and we were told that she had malaria. I didn’t believe it but dad kept on telling me that she only had malaria.

After 2 weeks she was discharged from the hospital and came back home but there was no improvement. One day she called me and my sisters Mirriam, and Recious to her room.

“My children,u know that I love u ryt”, she started.

“Yes mum”, we all answered

“I love u all very much and I know u love me too. I want u to continue loving & supporting each other like u have always been doing”, she said as she pulled Miriam the youngest closer to her.

“But mum y are u saying all this? What’s wrong”, Recious asked emotionally

“Nothing is wrong dear,it’s just that I might not always be with u. And Recious u are the eldest so please stop being too emotional over everything, learn to control your feelings”, she continued talking. ” Make sure Ken is more responsible “,she added

“U know how this your son is,he is stubborn and won’t listen to me”, Recious replied. ” u just have to discipline him yourself “,she added

“He has to listen to u”.

“Yes mum I will listen to her”, I responded with a smile.

Mum talked for some time then she said she needed to rest before dad came back. We went out and left her to rest.

Recious was upset and had tears in her eyes .” y is mum not getting better? This can’t be malaria, dad is lying to us all”,she said as she rushed to her room and locked the door.

I couldn’t cry in front of Miriam but I was hurting in,side.

I could see that even Miriam was about to cry so I pulled her close then hugged her. “Don’t worry dear, everything will be fine. Mum will be alright soon”, I told her as I tried to convince myself the same.

It was long week and we were all there watching mum slowly loosing weight and getting more sick each passing minute. I was helpless and heartbroken cause I didn’t think a day like this was going to come soon.

On the unfortunate Saturday when dad was out,mum started vomiting blood clots. We were all scared and didn’t know wat to do so Recious quickly called dad and told him but before he could even reach home,mum stopped breathing😥😭😭.

Recious was the first to realise that mum had stopped breathing but she couldn’t tell the 2 of us.

“Please take Miriam outside and stay with her as I clean the vomits😖”, she said while trying to hide her sad face with teary eyes

“Ok let me go and buy her something at the road side”, I responded

” do that please “.

My heart was bothered and I was certain that something was wrong. Dad got home before I returned with Miriam and as I returned home, I saw an ambulance and some police men coming out of the house with mum’s body fully covered.

I felt powerless and confused, nothing seemed real at that point. Recious was in tears,she was bitterly crying😭😭😭.

Life changed after mum’s departure from us. I realized that life was not a fantasy even though dad continued spoiling us but from time to time we all needed a mother’s love but mum was not with us so we had to learn to survive without her.

3 YEARS LATER
I was now in grade 12 and doing well while Recious was in college studying law. Dad seemed lonely most of the times.

” My son, I want to talk to u about something”,dad started a conversation one night after work

“Yes dad,wat is it? U can talk to me”.

“I know we loved your mum very much……but I think I can’t continue staying alone like this,I need a partner”,he said

“Oh I knew this day would come but anyway have u found any woman who u think will make a good wife?”, I asked him

“Not really but I have being seeing a certain young Lady who comes to see her brother at our work place”.

“Alright I only wish she will make a good wife to u but I pray she is not trouble”.

” trouble? ”

“Yes trouble. Dad,Recious and I can take care of ourselves but Mimi can’t. My point is that,find a woman who will be able to look after Mimi”.

” I understand your point, am sure she is a good girl. But I have to talk to her first and see if we can get things going “.

We talked for a while then I left him and went to Miriam’s room to make sure she is alright. After that I went and slept.

Weeks passed and dad was getting along with the lady and he sometimes brought the lady home so that we could be familiar with her.

She seemed to be a caring lady but I just didn’t like her that much. Recious was told about everything and just after I wrote my grade 12 exams,dad married the lady. By the way,her name is Natasha.

We were getting along and she was taking good care of Miriam and over friendly with me. She was just 2 years older than Recious so it was hærd to call her mum. I preferred not calling her

One day we were sitting in the living room watching TV with Mimi and Natasha. We were watching a rom-ntic movie but Mimi wasn’t interested so she said she wanted to go and see her friend so she left.

A few minutes after she left,Natasha went to her bedroom too and came back with money. She came where I was sitting and handed me the money. I reached out to take it,then she rom-ntically touched my hand,smiled and winked at me.

I was surprised and speechless, so I just took the money and went to buy wat she asked me to buy.

She was always looking for a reason to talk to me and sometimes to touch me. I was really getting annoyed with her.

I became uncomfortable in my father’s house because of Natasha, she was an immoral woman and her display of affection towards me was just gross.

3 months later I decided that I will just go for holiday at my grandmother’s place but I had to ask dad first.

“Dad I think I will be going to see granny coz she has being telling me to come for a while now”, I started the conversation and Natasha was there too as the wife.

“Oh really? That’s good u shud go and see her”, he responded with happiness

“U are allowing him to go just like that?”, Natasha interrupted the conversation

“What do u mean let him go just like that? He is going to see his granny it has been long since they saw each other”.
“So he is going right? Who will be helping me out at home? And what about Mimi?”

“What has Mimi done?”

“She is more comfortable with his brother than me and she can’t do all the work alone”.

“So wat are u trying to say?”

“He is not going anywhere for now,he can go some other time but if u don’t love me,u will do as yo son says😡😡”, she said as she got up and went to her room.

But she didn’t go direct to her room, she stood behind dad for some few seconds and blew flying k-sses to me while dad wasn’t looking.

I was very upset and without dad saying a word,it was evident that he accepted wat his useless wife said. I just went out and went to a friend’s place.

“Am not sure wat to do man,that girl is getting on my nerves”, I told Peter my friend

“What do u intend to do now?”

“I really don’t know,I think I shud just leave the house for now”.

‘Leave the house and go where?”

“Anywhere man,anywhere”.

“But u know wat the young lady wants so just give it to her”.

“Are u for really? She is my father’s wife. I can’t eat from the same pot with my father, that’s an insult and a blow to his face”.

“It’s not a blow if he doesn’t find out and moreover, u don’t even have any pot u eat from😂😂”.

“Man I have bad friends but……..

“Man I have bad friends but anyway for the record it’s not that I am afraid of girls no, I just respect women”.

“I know how u are Ken but trust me, one day u will end up being alone and lonely”.

“I don’t care man and by the way I should be on my way now so that I check up on Mimi”

“Alright church boy but if the offer comes again on a silver plate, just take it😂😂”.

“U are crazy Peter”, I said as I walked out of the house. Even though Peter was a person who was a bad advisor, he understood me and always made me forget my worries with his crazy thoughts.

3 days passed from the day Natasha said I should not go to see granny and this time something worse happened.

I was in my room when she came in uninvited. I had locked the door with a key not knowing that she has a duplicate key. I was shocked wen she entered and she was wearing a see through night dress and it wasn’t even evening yet.

“Wat do u want here?”, I furiously asked as I stood up from my bed

“U know wat I want so stop pretending”.

“Are u not even ashamed of doing this? U are my father’s wife”.

“So wat? Yo father is old and he is not my age mate but u are”.

“U must be foolish, get out of here before I do something I will regret”.

” u can’t do anything. Ken I love u,just accept me and u will be happy. I promise yo dad won’t know about this”,she said as she came close to me and touched my l-ips.

“Are u for real?🤔 Just go please”.

“Don’t push me away,I know u also want this”.

“u are the biggest fool I have ever met. GET OUT!!”, I shouted and she got a bit scared so she left.

“These are temptation, hmmmm? I need to do something about this”, I thought to myself.

It wasn’t easy to avoid the Jezebel dad brought to our home as a wife but I had to resist that devil.

” Recious when are u coming back home?”,I called Recious coz I thought she was the only one to help me.

“Am not sure coz I have exams coming up. Is everything ok there?”

“Yes,everything is fine but a friend wanted some advise from me so I thought u wud be in a better position to advise him”, I said.

“Yes wat is the problem, am sure I can advise over the phone”.

“Recious look,my friend is staying with his uncle but the wife to his uncle is trying to be intimate with him but he has bn avoiding her,wat can he do?”

“Hmmmm? That’s a tricky one but I think he has to tell the uncle about it”.

“But he is afraid to tell the uncle coz his aunt said she wud change the story and say that he was the one trying to rape her”.

“If that’s the case then he has to maybe tell his sister if he has or a close relative”.

“I don’t I can do that”.

“What do u mean by I? Is this about u?”

“No,noooo sis,I just made a mistake. Talk to u later,I have work to do”, I ended the call.

I was afraid to tell her that wat I told her was about me coz I knew she would come back without writing her promotion exams. I just had to handle all this alone even though I didn’t know wat to do.

“I wish mum was still alive then all this wouldn’t be happening”, I thought to myself as tears dropped from my eyes😢😢😥. I now missed mum more than ever.

A FEW WEEKS LATER
“Son am going to another town for some work and u are remaining as the only man in this house,so u shud take care of yo mum especially yo sis”, dad told me.

“Ok dad,don’t worry I will take care of Mimi and I won’t give u a reason to complain”.

“That’s my son”.

That same afternoon dad left and it was only me,Mimi and Natasha in the house.

I knew that Natasha now was going to take advantage of dad’s absence so I had to be careful. I told Miriam to be sleeping in my room coz she was scared especially that dad was away, so I used that to my advantage. She wud sleep on my bed and I slept on the floor. That made me a bit safe from Natasha but not for long.

One afternoon wen Mimi went to school,Natasha came to my room with a towel….

#MY_FATHER’S #YOUNG_WIFE

At first I didn’t see her coz I was busy dozing then she touched my feet,that was when I woke up.

She came wearing a short towel and it made me uncomfortable so I stood up.

“What have u come to do here again?😤😤”

“U know y am here,am here for u”.

“Get out before I loose it”

“Don’t worry,it’s just the 2 of us today. Let’s just have some fun together. I will make u happy”.

Before I could say anything else,she went to the door locked it and kept the keys.

“Open the door right now or else…”

“Or else wat? Wat will u do? U know wat,u must be even happy that I Natasha wants u to touch me”

“And I Ken don’t want to touch u,I don’t even know wat dad saw in you coz u are a loose girl and heaven knows how many men u have opened yo legs for”.

“Don’t insult me just because I want u,now back to our business”.

“Which business?”

“Am here for u my boy,so just make me feel happy”, she said as she came closer to me and this time I didn’t push her away.

She started playing with my beard while leaning on my chest and I did nothing to stop her. I just let her go on with her nonsense for a while until I made her believe that I was also now comfortable.

I pushed her on my bed then went closer and closer to her. It was evident that she felt as though she was on top of the world.

She closed her eyes while sleeping on the bed and slowly I touch her hands,got the keys and then whispered in her ears ” U ARE A FOOL NATASHA”. I stood up,opened the door and left her lying on the bed.

She was really upset and that day in the evening, I wasn’t given food to eat and I didn’t even complain.

Everyday she would try and she once even tried to break the bathroom door wen I was taking a bath but luckily, the door was strong. I just couldn’t understand her way of thinking and her shameless acts.

Dad finally came back and I thought things would get a bit better not knowing that Natasha had a surprise for me.

That evening dad sent Mimi to call me.
“Ken, dad wants to see u in the sitting room and am sure he is not happy with u”, Mimi said as she stood at the door

“Alright I will be there in a few minutes”, I responded

I wore my T-shirt and went to the sitting room.

“Dad u sent for me?”

“Yes I did….. Ken am really disappointed in u,I thought u were responsible enough to take care of your sister”,dad told me with a disappointed face and he could hærdly look at me.

“If I may ask,wat exactly have I done?”

“U even have the courage to ask me that? I never knew that u have become a womanizer”.

“Me a womanizer?😕😵”

“U even have the courage to bring girls in my house to spend nights. You are such a disgrace to this family😡😡”

“But I have never done that before am sure….”

“Just stop talking. I have told yo sister about this and I will be sending u to yo Granny’s place”.

“No Darling! How can u send him there? Just let him stay here so that u can keep an eye on him”, Natasha advised dad and dad agreed not knowing that Natasha had a hidden agenda.

“I just wish u knew me better than believing whatever yo wife says”, I said and left for my room.

Recious called me in the evening and shouted at me but I didn’t say a word to her.

I just ended the call and sent her a text saying ” If only u knew wat am going on in the hands of yo so called mum, then u wouldn’t believe all this. I thought u knew me better than this. Don’t call or text me please😥😭😭”.

I was heartbroken cause Natasha had succeeded to turn everyone against me but Mimi was always there for me.

“I know u can never do something like that and I always slept with u in yo room wen dad was away, so wat nights was dad talking about?”.

“At least u believe me but u don’t have to tell dad anything about this”.

“Y not? I know everything that u are hiding from everyone about Natasha”.

“Wat?! How do u know?”

“I heard her that day wen she was trying to open the bathroom”.

“No she thought that there was no one in the bathroom that’s y she tried to open the door”, I tried to hide the truth from her again

“Don’t even try that on me,I know wat she wanted and I know how to deal with her”.

“Uhh!😨😨 what can u possibly do?”, I asked in surprise

“U should bring Peter to the house tomorrow but don’t let Natasha see him”.

“Wat is he coming to do here?”

“To see u of course,he is yo friend and he shud visit u”, she said. “Just do wat I have told u and all will be ok again”, she added and left.
I was left in shock and didn’t know wat to say or do but I had to give it a try coz she was my only hope left.

The following day,I went to Peter’s place and invited him over.

“But y shud I come and spend a night at yo place? ”

“I also don’t know but dad won’t be around and Mimi told me to invite u over. Am not sure but u might be used as a bet”.

“Are u guys for real? am not like u, if she tries that with me I won’t resist. I will just dig in and take my share”.

“Am sure that is y Mimi suggested u”, I replied as I pulled him out of his house to go to my place.

I didn’t know wat Mimi’s plan was coz she didn’t explain anything to me.

That night as usual, Natasha came to my room only wearing her underwear. It was dark so she couldn’t tell that we were the two of us in the room. I carefully left the bed and slept under the bed.

“Hey handsome, are u ready to give in to my demands now? U know am the only one who can change yo father’s view about u”, she said as she towards the bed.

Peter was quiet and didn’t say a world until she reached the bed and sat next to him.

“Am ready to do wat u want if u tell me why u married dad in the first place”, Peter pretended to be me

“So u have been crying over wat yo dad said? Yo voice even sounds strange but anyway u shouldn’t cry”, she said as she touched Peter’s chest

“What should I have done wen no one believes me? But I also love u,I have just bn shy”.

“I knew u were just afraid of your dad that is why you resisted me but u shouldn’t worry about anything coz u now have my support”, she said and I could tell that she was high and ready for wat she wanted. I was also worried about Peter coz he could definitely do wat he said so I thought that maybe I had to step in but b4 I could do that Mimi came knocking on the door.

Natasha was worried that she might be caught so I came out of the door and opened the door.

“Wow Natasha! U look beautiful wen u are not dressed”, Mimi sarcastically complimented her.

I switched on the lights and Natasha was surprised upon seeing Peter.

“Wat is going on here?”, she asked nervously

“U are going on here madam Natasha. Let’s finish wat u started”, Peter said as he touched her shoulder

“Let me explain this in a more simple manner”, Mimi said as she made her way to my bed and sat on it. “Natasha my girl,your days in this house are numbered and your countdown starts now”, she added.

I didn’t know how talkative Mimi was and that shocked me a lot. Her school friends always said she was talkative but at home she was a quiet type.

Natasha was scared and she went straight to her room and locked it.

We all slept peacefully that night but I doubt if Natasha had any sleep.

The following day wen dad came back home, Natasha made sure that he didn’t talk to me or Mimi but Mimi knew how to scare Natasha.

“Dad! Dad!”, Mimi shouted as tho she was in pain

“Baby wat is wrong?” Dad came running to Mimi

“Dad I fell down and it is paining a lot😭😭”, she pretended to cry

Natasha also came running behind dad coz she thot that Mimi wud tell dad everything.

“Dad I want to tell u something”, Mimi started as she looked at Natasha

“Yes love wat is it?”

“Am sure she is just in pain,let me take care of her and check if she is injured”, Natasha interrupted her

“First let your mum take care of u then we will talk my angel”, dad said

“Don’t worry dad,I think am now fine”.

“Are u sure dear?”

“Yes dad am sure,I can even walk. Don’t worry”, she responded and got up

“She said she is fine,let’s go back to our bedroom now”, she said feeling relieved.

It was a hærd day for Natasha and it became even h-rder wen Peter came.

As he entered the house,he met Natasha in the kitchen. He lovingly looked at her body from the legs going upwards. Natasha felt uncomfortable but Peter was enjoying it and he leaked his l-ips as a gesturing showing that he liked wat he was seeing.

“Hi man! I have been waiting for u. Say hi to my lovely mum Natasha”, I sarcastically said while looking at Natasha

“Hi hot young mother. U look lovely, especially wen u are unclad”, Peter complimented her and we went to my room.

After that,Natasha spent the rest of the day in her room until dad came home.

We all had dinner together and after dinner, we sat in the sitting room to watch TV then Mimi went to her room and just after that,Natasha received a text on WhatsApp.

She was troubled about the text.
“Hey mum, can I see yo phone. I just want to check something on WhatsApp”, I said.

“Not now,am using it”.

“Please mum, I won’t take long”, I kept insisting

“Just give him,he will give it back”, dad suggested

“And look Ken there is a video. She has received a video from someone. Can we watch it mum Natasha?”, Mimi said

“No please don’t do that”, she grabbed the phone from Ken and just then Recious called me.

“Yes wat is it? Wat do u want?”, I answered the call

“Am sorry bro,please forgive me”, Recious pleaded with me

“There is nothing to be sorry about”.

“Pliz give Natasha the phone”, she asked me and I gave it to her

“I know everything u have been doing and am coming for u. Don’t think u can get away with such disgusting acts u pr-stitute”

“Ken take back yo phone now”, she gave me back the phone and went to bed.

“Who called?” Dad curiously asked after seeing Natasha’s reaction

“It was Recious”.

“Ok,goodnight”.

TBC#MY_FATHER’S #YOUNG_WIFE

Dad followed Natasha to the bedroom and we could here Natasha shout at dad wen he tried to ask her wat Recious said which upset her that much.

“Your children are just trouble makers,I can’t stand them. They are always demanding money”, she lied

“Then y didn’t u tell me,I will send the money”, dad replied and he sent k1000 to Recious.

“Don’t worry,I have sent the money”.

“I didn’t say u send now,ohh just forget it. U always do wat yo children want”, she said in anger and am sure after that she went to sleep coz the room was now quiet.

Some days passed and Mimi didn’t tell me wat exactly she did to convince Recious that I was innocent of the things I was accused of.

But one day,I just saw granny and aunt come to the house. And shortly dad was home,so was Peter,dad’s 2 sisters and his brother.

I didn’t know wat was happening and I was curious to find out. Dad told everyone to gather in the sitting room and we did including Natasha.

“If I say i know y this meeting is called,then I will be lying. Am sure u all know that am not the one who called this meeting so am not the chairperson”, dad said.

“Yes we all know that and we are waiting for Mimi to tell us wat is so urgent that she had to call us all”, granny said.

I was shocked to hear that it was Mimi who gathered us all for a meeting and before I could say anything, Mimi came in.

U could tell that Natasha almost died with fear and am sure she prayed for the ground to swallow her.

“Welcome everyone, am sure u are all wondering y I called this meeting and I will tell u but firstly I want to make it clear that no one and I mean no one is allowed to go out of this room until I finish talking”, Mimi narrated her instructions to us all.

“Mimi be remindful that u are taking to yo elders”, granny cautioned her.

“Am sorry granny if I have offended everyone but all the same,I want u all to watch a movie together. It has been long since u did that”,she said and turned to the TV.

“So u mean we all came here just to watch TV together?”, aunt was angry. “Don’t u know that we have a lot of things to do? Bro,have u seen how u have brought up yo kids?”, she added as she almost stood up of where she was sitting.

“Am really disappointed in u Mimi, how could u even invite us all for just ordinary TV😕😔?” Granny said with disappointed.

At this point I just had to step in and help my sister coz she always helped me as well.

“Why don’t we all wait and see the type of movie she wants us to watch than jumping into conclusions. Let’s give her a chance”, I tried to defend her but Natasha desperately wanted to stop Mimi from playing the video so she took advantage of the present situation.

“You see what I tell u Darling? I always tell u that u have spoiled these children, now look at wat she has done. Gathering all of us here for nothing, she is just making a joke out of everyone here”, she added fuel to the fire.

Mimi was really upset and I could tell that she wanted to water Natasha with harsh words but luckily, she held herself back.

Dad just looked at Mimi,shook his head and stood up to leave and so did everyone else. But before they could reach the door leading outside, Mimi played the video and the volume was high.

“So Ken,are u ready to do what I asked you? You know am the only one who can change your father’s opinion about you”, the video started to play and everyone got interested so they came back to the sitting room.
Everyone failed to sit, they just stood and watched the video until the end.

“Now please tell me wat wrong I have done. Was I wrong to call u all here to tell u the truth about this bad woman dad brought as our mother? She made my brother uncomfortable in his own house “, Mimi cried out.

“I can’t believe this, Natasha seemed to be a honourable person. I didn’t know u can do this young lady”, granny told Natasha.

Everyone was busy murmuring to themselves wen we just heard a loud sound. ” PAAH!”. It came from dad’s direction. Dad slapped Natasha in the face and this surprised all of us especially me coz dad always told me not to ever hit a woman but that was wat he did.

“I trusted u with my kids and this is wat I get. U know what? You are leaving this house this minute,you are not worthy of been my wife later on a mother to my kids”, dad hurtfully and angrily made his decision known there and then.

“I don’t know what to say to you Natasha. You are a disgrace to womanh-od, please leave this house”, granny also told her and she came to me and hugged me. “Am sorry we didn’t realize all this, am sorry”, she hugged me and dropped tears.

It was heartbreaking seeing granny cry because of what that Jezebel did and surprisingly, she didn’t say a word to defend herself. The only thing she said was ” baby please let me stay,am caring yo child”.

“Whose child?😡😡. Don’t even go there coz u well know that the child you are caring is not dad’s child”, Mimi responded to Natasha’s claim.

“It is his child, just shut your mouth. You are even too young to talk about this”,Natasha tried to shut Mimi

“Yes am too young but am not too young to know that this is Mr Banda’s child you are caring”, Mimi shocked us all with the latest news.

“It is true”, Peter supported her.

They both explained how they came to know about that fact and Natasha was left with no choice but to leave the house.

She went to Mr Banda’s house but Mr Banda denied the pregnancy and right now as this story is been narrated, Natasha is going round houses washing people’s clothes just so she can feed her child and take care of herself as well.

I feel bad for her but I can’t do anything, she brought all this upon herself. She had an opportunity to live a good life with dad but she blew it away.

Right now Recious is happily married to a doctor,Mimi is still in school and I am completing my tertiary education as an engineer.

Dad has not remarried but he is happy and still going strong.

DON’T BLOW AWAY GOOD OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE OF YOUR WANTS AND SELFISH DESIRES.
