My parents is so disappointed in me. You left me Jacob, you did! She shouted at him while he broke down in tears.

“It’s not my fault my love, you know that I dare not to leave you all alone . I also missed you and always crave for your attention.

The both parents sit on the chair
“Ngbor, you are the one that impregnate my daughter”

“I am the one sir and I am sorry” he pleaded.

“I am so sorry ma and sir, I promise to take care of her, please let us gt married” he pleaded.

“I don’t trust this guy, why did you run away when you impregnate my daughter because we came to your house and met it locked”. Her dad asked

“I went to Lagos to inform my parents about Ibiwunmi pregnancy”.

“So, where are your parents? They supposed to come with you”.

“They are preparing to come sir” he lied.

“We have no choice than to let him perform the right dues on her head and take her away, after all she decided to turn herself cheap to him abi what did you think mama Ibiwunmi”.

“I am angry looking at this guy because I warned him off my daughter, how are people this w!cked? You make us loose our lifetime opportunity. ahh I am not happy”.

“It’s okay mama Ibiwunmi, we have no choice again that to accept him”.

“Mr Man, we want to see your parents next week, we want to Know how serious you are” he said while Jacob thanked him.

He left afterwards.

After Jacob visit that day, Ibiwunmi mindset started changing towards her daughter, she started Caring about her daughter pregnancy.

Jacob on his side started working on inviting his parents over but they tell him to come back home or disown him. He is getting tired of everything already. What should he do?.

Yemisi came visiting Ibiwunmi , she is now the wife of Adeyinka, she apologized to her friend for her unruly behavior then. They both reunite again.

After a month
Jacob mum planned with his husband to visit Jacob in the village and to see his wife. Perhaps, they can take him back with them. They came with Folake.

They arrived at the village and went to his house. Jacob is happy seeing his parents, at least they are here with him. He is not happy with bringing Folake .

“Mum, why did you bring Folake here?

“She will stay behind while we visit your fiancee parents house” she replied.

The next day
The dressed for Ibiwunmi parents house.

Folake stayed behind

She was told to trail them to their house without Jacob noticing

They were ushered in on getting to Ibiwunmi house.

Her parents welcomed them.

“Thanks for honouring our invite, we called you based on Ibiwunmi pregnancy, your son has admitted that he is the one responsible for her pregnancy and we invited you for the date of the wedding” her dad said.

“About the wedding date sir, that is why we are here. You see my son John already has a wife, he is married to a woman before coming to the village and I don’t think this meeting is necessary because he can’t marry two wives at the same time” Jacob mum said while everyone gasped. Jacob is so furious now.

Ibiwunmi parents are ashàmed to speak on

“You see your life Ibiwunmi! He shouted at her.

“Your daughter is good looking too, if you think we can help you in any way. We can take her in as our maid if you want her to live with us in Lagos. Folake come in” she order while folake pushed the door open and came in.

Ibiwunmi parents can’t contain the embarrassment,they flare up.

“What is the meaning of Al this non.sen.se Jacob?” Ibiwunmi dad asked.

“I am sorry sir”.

“My name is Folake and I am Jacob new wife in Lagos. My husband refused to touch me because of your daughter pregnancy, I can see the reason why he fell in love with you but listen young lady, you are not prettier than me” Folake said facing Ibiwunmi.

Ibiwunmi broke down into tears, she run in,side while Jacob parents take their leave.

Jacob keep on pleading to Ibiwunmi parents but they don’t answer him, he later left.

Jacob got back home and shouted at his parents. His dad slapped him.

“He is Carrying my baby dad” he calmly said amidst tears.

“I told you to let us take the baby and leave the mother behind but you refused, are you ready to comply to my instructions now?” He asked why Jacob broke down into tears.

His mum is moved to pity, she started regretting her actions towards his son marrying her friend daughter. His son has never cry so hærd. She feel like they are making things hærd for him.

“Ibiwunmi dad, let me see you for a sec” she said while he went to meet his wife.

“My husband, don’t you think we are taking all this thing far, after all, that lady is carrying our grandchild or what did you think?”

“What about Folake! They just got married for Christ sake”.

” He won’t leave Folake but we can let ibidun live with us for d meantime, whenever she gave birth, we can collect d baby and let her go”.

“Did you think Jacob will let you do that? He personally love that Ibiwunmi” Jacob dad said.

“When we get to that bridge, we will carry it” she said.

They told Folake to wait for them in the car while they talked to Jacob.

“Jacob, we will come back next month to leave with Ibiwunmi, do you like it?” She asked

“Yes mum! Yes! Thank you so much” he said excitedly.

“What about the wedding mum?” He asked

“We will do that later” she said
“But on one condition”

“What is that mum? I will do anything for you”

“You will impregnate Folake” she said

Jacob don’t have a choice than to agree to his parents wish.

“I will come to Lagos next week to do that but after that, I will be with Ibiwunmi”.
