©️ Fardaykhemy Raheem.

Ibikunle tried calling Jumoke on the phone but it’s not reachable.

“Why did she enter my room and quickly left, I guess I was ha-rsh on her. I don’t know anything about where she is living”. He muttered to himself and lie on the bed.

Throughout the evening, ibikunle is bored. His colleague Richærd has gone out with a babe he just met recently.

He dialled her number again and it rang twice before she finally pick it up.

“Jumoke, why is your number not reachable?” He asked in his most calmest voice.

“I don’t want to disturb your peace, that was why I left your room earlier”. She replied over the phone.

“Why did you leave quickly without stating what you wanted to say, I feel bored here”.

“It’s about my life, can I see you?” She asked.

“Yeah! Are you around the hotel?”.

“Yeah, I will come to your room” she replied and ended the call.

Within few minutes, a light Knock hit the door. He went to open it and usher her in.

“Please have your seat” he requested pointing towards the chair in his front.

“Yeah I am listening to you!

“Ibikunle, the first time I saw you back then, with your friend, I have this feeling of love towards you. Am not a sham-eful woman. I know what a woman dignity is….what prompted me to approach you that day is the pressing issue I have in hand that day.

“What issue is that?”he asked with a serious look.

“The real problem is, there was a guy I was dating, he is my childhood friend and my parents like him because his father is my father’s friend. They wanted the both of us to get married but this guy has a very bàd attitude. He talks to people anyhow, he drinks, sm_oke and lavish money anyhow. He has no respect for anybody. I complained to my parents and they told me that he will change with time. In this generation that we are now, I should manage a guy. It’s chokin-g me. Our wedding is coming on in the next four months and I am tired. Everytime I visited you in the bar is to cool off my head. I don’t know, I am attached to you…..I am tired”. She said and broke down in tears. Ibikunle is moved to pity and move closer to her, he patted her back while she raised up her head to his face. He quickly look at the other side while she touched his chin.

“You will be Alright, you can probably talk to your mum. She will know how to change your father’s mind”.

“My dad is a strong hea-ded man and….it’s choking meeee!!!

“Sorry babe, you will alright”. He patted her back again while she rested her head on his shoulder.

Ibikunle glanced at her dress…up to her chest and saw her cle_avages open. He remembered his mother tale and look away, her mum always talk to him about her youthful life whenever he wants to go back to the institution. The tale has guided him all his life and won’t want to make the same mistake that his parents make.

He gently lifted her head and stare at her pale face from coñstant tears.

“You will be fine! You are a strong girl. Talk to your mum. Let her reason with you”. He said before laying his back on the chair.

“Thanks Mr Ibikunle, it’s time to leave”. She said and left.

“That was close, I had to control myself”. He muttered to himself and went back to sleep.

Temitope just got back home while a message popped up on her screen, she tapped it to read ahead.

“Dear Temitope, the last time I came to your house is so hooooot. I haven’t had a nice time all this while like the one I had with you. I can’t take the memories of that day out of my head. It lingers on my mind all the time. When are we meeting, I wanted to have more….

She hissed and deleted the message before going in,side the house.

She met mama sleeping on the chair and tapped her aggressively. Mama yawned and opened her eyes.

“Which kind of sleep are you sleeping here? Don’t you have your room? Mai friend go to your room! She ordered while Mama hurridly enter her room.

“See her, she look like a bu_ffalo”. She shouted and went into her room.

“I am now getting fed up of everything, anytime my husband sleep with me. I don’t ever get pregnant, now that I’d!ot slept with me, it’s still the same thing. To be Candid with myself, I enjoyed every bit of it. That guy is maaaaaddd but being married is stopping me from going out with him. I had to play a fast one on him so that he won’t think that I am cheap. If I stayed throughout this year and I didn’t get pregnant. I am going to move out of this place and stay with Alex. I am strarting to like him. Before then, I am going to show that mama he-ll before leaving this house”. She said and lie on the bed.

Mama is extremely hungry, her drugs is not constant again due to hunger that she always experience anytime she used the drug. Temitope didn’t cook for her except when Rebecca came around. She is getting tired of everything.

“Is this how I am going to continue, I will just die before my son comes back”. She went to the kitchen and met some rice with little stew and meat. This excite her while she quickly dished out the food and eat it.

She belch and went back to her room.

Temitope came out of her room due to hunger, she went to the kitchen to eat the food she left in the morning and met the pot empty. This angered her, she went out to call Mama.

Mama shakingly came out of her room.
“Ibiwunmi or what is your name called? Where is the food that I left in the kitchen?” She asked with an angry face.

“I….ha…ha….ha…ve….eaten it” she sluttered while she slapped Mama face. This angered mama, she lifted her hand and slapped her back before dragging her hair. She scre-med out in pain.

“If you think because I am old and look weak, I don’t have strong bones, you are lieing. I am watching you all this while because I don’t want to look as a b-ad mother in law. I will beat you” she said hitting her back. Temitope tried to overpower mama but her bones are weak now, she pushed her away and she hit her head on the wall. She scre-med out in pains while Temitope punched on her.

Musa keep hearing noise from the building and went to peep into the house when she see Tope beating mama. He run in to stop the scene.

“Madam it’s okay now…leave her”. He shouted at her while she looked up with her scattered hair.

“Are you m_a_d? We’re you there when this mama started hitting me. It’s payback time so leave me, I am going to hit her till she die”. She said while Musa run to pushed her away.

He saw bl-oo-d stains from mama back. She look weak and frail…

She finally close her eyes.

“Ah madam, you have k!ll someone! He exclaimed.

“That serves her right, what gives her the nerve to talk to me anyhow”.

“She is not opening her eyes madam! Musa shouted while she move closer to mama.

She trembled with fear and begged Musa to help mama to the hospital.

She was rushed to the hospital and lead to the emergency ward. Temitope started crying.

What would she tell her husband?

How would she explain herself?

She has to plan on what she will tell her husband.

The doctor came out of the ward.

“Mrs Jacob, please what happened to mama?” He asked with a worried look.

“Mama fell from the staircase and passed out” she lied.

“Are you sure madam because the marks on her body doesnt look like it. It look as if someone beat mama to stupor and her condition is critical, she is in coma and we don’t know when she will come out of it.

“Ehhh!!! Mama in coma, she only fell from the staircase, Ahh! Doctor please, can I know when she will come around?”

“But you are educated madam, you know that once someone is in coma, it is only Good that can revive the person. She may take months,years. Just keep praying for her”. The doctor replied and left while Tope sit back.

“My husband will be around in five days from now on. What should I tell him” she think inwardly and keep pondering on the next step.

She called on Musa.
“Musa, listen and listen good . My husband will be around in few days, if you made mention of me beating mama to him, you just lose your job. Did you understand!!!!

“Yes madam”.

“Good, I will doubled your salary this month” she said while he left.

Temitope got back home and met Alex at the gate. She roll down the glass of her car while he lean on it.

“What are you doing here?” She asked in a husky voice while Musa went to open the gate.

“You think you can give me sweetness and send me away like that, it’s not possible. I don’t like leaving sweet things” he replied smiling.

“Alex! Alex!! What we had is just a flin-g why are you taking it as something serious?”.

“It’s serious because you are beautiful and taste sweet, if you don’t want me to reveal all our chats to your husband when he is back, let me in now and make out with you”.

On mentioning of husband, Tope heart thumped furiously, she glanced to the other side and stare back into his cute eyes. She bite her l-ips hærd and respond.

“Go in,side, I am coming now” she instructed while he happily walk into the building while she drive in.

She alighted from the car and went in,side with Alex. She closed the door behind while Alex grabbed her l-ips and s-cked at it. She pushed him away.

“Why the rush? She asked in anger

“I have missed those l-ips” he replied moving closer to her.

“I want it here, right in the sitting room” he instructed while she obeyed.

He licked his l-ips and bend her over. He draws down her gown and s-cked her bwess…soft mo_ans escaped from her l-ips while he roughly had his way in…..

She whimpers in pain after a hour of rough s…..x. she pleded to him but it all fall on de_af ears. He finally reach clim_ax after more thirty minutes and fell beside her. Temitope is so weak, she couldn’t lift her hands and closed her eyes .

Mama is the only one in the ward, she is still in coma.

Rebecca had a bàd feeling about mama, she waved it off but the strong urge came over her.

“Why did I feel like seeing my sister and this is five past. Should I go or not? Let me go over to her house since my kids are with my father in law. I will come back later for them. I won’t stay long in mama house”. She said to herself and close the door.

She board a bike to ibikunle house while Musa opened the gate.

She got to the doorstep and place a heavy knock on the door.
