THE PAINS OF A LONELY MOTHER 32&33
©️ Fardaykhemy Raheem.

She raised the syring up for proper checking and lower it down. She was about to inject mama when she lifted her hands and changed her sleeping position. She look so sad in her sleep. This brought so much emotions to the nurse. She remembered her grandmother that nurtured her to that stage before she died.

The syringe dropped from her hand and tears filled her eyes. She picked it up and run out of the ward to the restroom. She cried her eyes out and du_mped the syringe into the waste bin. She placed a call to Temitope requesting to see her.

Temitope on her side is happy…hearing from her. She jumped into her car and drove to the hospital. Nurse peju rushed to meet her with her dull face.

She entered her car and requested for her account details.

“What happened? Why are you requesting for my account details? Is the work done!.

“Just tell me ur details first” she insisted while she gave her her account number.

She transferred all the money back to her.

“Why did you send the money back?” She asked the nurse in complete shock

“I am not a mur_de_rer and I was not taught to spoil my future because of money”. She replied.

“Is the money small? I will add more to it if you want”.

“I have conscience, in whatever a human being does in this life. He/she should check his/her conscience very well. D day a human being lack/ lose his conscience, is the day the person is no longer a human being…I was not trained to take people life. I was trained to save life. That woman is old for such d*eadly plan, I once had someone like her and they are the most sweetest person you can relate with in this world. Why don’t you relate with her and see how your life will change around according to the story you told me last time. Take time and know her”. She replied and left her car.

The words hit Temitope b*adly. She has really treated the old woman b_àd. Would she be forgiven? Hope it’s not too late for her?.

“How did I get to this stage? My parents taught me to be a good person, where have I lost my morals ? God please forgive me. If you can give me the last chance, I will treat mama better”. She muttered to herself and sighed.

A message popped up on her screen while she checked it. It’s from Alex requesting to see her in an hotel to fulfill her last promise.

She typed:👇
(My husband is going to work tomorrow, let’s see in the afternoon before he is back from work) she send it and delete the message.

She alighted from her car and went to checked on mama.

The old woman is sleeping peacefully, she look so cute while sleeping. Why didn’t she notice her beauty all this while? Hat_red_ness is so b*ad that it covers your face to see the good side of a person. She gently touched her face while tears wallowed her face.

She kneel beside her and cried out her eyes.
“Mama I am sorry” she pleaded. I promised to take care of you from now on. Please be healthy on time to come back home. I missed you!!!! She cried out loudly and wiped her tears before leaving the ward.

The next day
Alex message popped up on the screen of her phone reminding her of their visit. She had to fulfill the last promise between them so that he can leave her alone.

She prepared everyone food while ibikunle left for work. She drove to the hospital to check on mama before leaving for the hotel.

She got to the hotel in fear and entered the room number that was sent to her.

She met Alex sitting on the bed.

“My mind changed” he informed her.

“Why?”.

“I don’t feel like doing anything with you here in the hotel room, you know they have CCTV camera here and I don’t like it. It’s like someone is watching me while sleeping with you, it may later expose our secret”.

“Then, where did u want to use?” She asked impatiently.

“Your house!

“Mai house!!!

“Are you m-a-d? How could you think of something like that? When you are aware of my husband presence.

“But you told me that your husband always arrived late in the evening,let’s go now and get straight down to business” he ordered with a serious look while she compy with him.

They both walked to her car while she drove off to her house.

They both alighted from the car and went into the bedroom.

He carried her on entering the house and straight to the bedroom.

“Hello dear”.
“Hello jumokeee!!!

“What’s that?” He asked in anxiety

“My wedding with that guy is called off after he insul*ted my father when he tried to correct him for his wro*ng behavior. I am free!!! When will you be back to Abuja?” She asked in deep excitement.

“I am not coming to Abuja anytime from now, I have to stay with my family especially my mother, I am sorry” he responded.

She sniffed before replying.
“I am going to miss your company, my greetings to your wife and that your special mother”.

“I will, thanks dear” he replied and ended the call.

He continue flipping through the files when he remembered something.

He quickly left for his house. He don’t bother to drive his car due to the traffic and boarded a bike to the house.

He alighted in the front of his building and rushed in, he opened the sitting room door in an hurry and dashed to the room. Loud mo*ans filled his ears as he approached the room. He dusted his ears very well to be sure of what he heard.

He gently opened the door and met a strange man on top of his wife moa*ning loudly. He was shocked beyond words. Tears streamed down his face as he watched the strange man hitting her wife v……Gina. They were Carried away with their enjoyment.

Out of anger, he rushed to him and pushed him away while Temitope eyes w¡den in shock. Alex was shocked too! He quickly packed his clothes and left the two couples again.

Temitope covered her face with the duvet in her hand while ibikunle continue crying. He left the room in anger. Temitope jumped up. She just know that she has ru!ned her home with what her husband see…

She quickly wore her clothes and rushed off to Salewa house.

She met salewa cutting her mother_in-law nails in fright. It shows in her facial expression that everything is not Alright. She cut the old woman nails while Temitope greeted her. She sit on the chair confused.

Salewa Mother in law instructed her to flush the toilet she made use of in the morning.

“Are you st-u-pid, I have defecate in it once again, Mai fweend go in,side the toilet now and flush it. When you are done, come and wash my clothes” she instructed her.

Temitope couldn’t believe her ears. She jumped up.

“What’s wrong salewa? Why is this woman controlling you all around? This is not my friend.

“See, this is my husband house o, don’t send me away, let me obey whatever mama sent me to do”.

“Who is this?” Her mother in law asked.

“She is my friend ma”.

“What concerns her in what I sent you?”.

“Mama! It concerns me… Salewa, you that you always advice me to be hars*h on Mai own mother in law. Ahhh! I am a f-o-ol! She cried out jumping up.

“Essssss! Uncu*ltured lady, you are disturbing my peace in my son house. Get out!!! She ordered while Temitope left in anger.

“I am a big f-o-ol all this while, salewa wro*ng advice lead me to all this. Her mother in law is w!cked and she keep treating her like a queen while I that my mother in law is gentle. I treated her like a tra_sh. I have ruined my life in my husband house. Who will help me plead to Ibikunle. Mama will soon be discharged from the hospital even though she is still receiving treatment. What if she finally regained her strength and reported me to my husband. My life is gone. My mother warned me oooooo! God! I just want a last chance”. She cried her eyes out and drove out of the area.

She drove to her mother house.

“Why is your face this way?” The woman asked her daughter with a worried look.

“My mum! I am finished!.

“What happened friend! Why are you not in work?”.

“I can’t go back to work”.

“What happened? Why? What’s wrong?”.

“I caught my wife with another man”. He cried out.

“You what!

“This is serious, that lady is something else. I don’t know what’s wrong with her? The last time I advised her, she ins-ulted me that day. I don’t know the reason why a lady will behave that way. Sorry my friend, you have to inform your boss at work for your absence or what did you think.

“I can’t think straight!

Abayomi collected his phone and send an email message to ibikunle boss, explaining the reason to leave for an emergency call at home in order to take care of his mother.

Ibikunle lie flat on the chair,
Reminiscing on how she met Temitope, she is such a lovely lady then. Did she pretended for him during their courtsh¡p or what lead to her sudden b*ad behavior.

His memory flashed back to how the strange man is hitting her wife. He scre-med out while Abayomi patted his back.

He keep consoling him reminding him not k!ll himself because of a lady.

He promised to accompany him back to his house in order to settle everything but he doubted if ibikunle will still be with his wife….
