Rebecca has informed her about her being in the hospital. She drove to the hospital and gently alighted from the car.
She entered the ward and met Rebecca with a man in the ward. The man turned his back towards her. She tried to figure it out…..
….All of a sudden, ibikunle turned around and met his wife standing right in his front. Temitope was shocked beyond words. She dont expect him to be in the hospital. It remains three days for him to arrive in the hospital. How come….
“Tope! Tope!! He called out while she recover from the shock. She formed a smile and greet his husband. She feel uncomfortable.
Ibikunle noticed the uneasiness in her wife mood.
“Dont you like seeing me here? You are behaving somehow?” He complained.
“Are you not happy to see your husband? No hug? No lovely greetings…Are you Alright?” Rebecca asked.
“I am sorry, it came as a surprise to me that is why i behaved in that manner, but babe! You told me that you are comimg back home in three days time” she said while he hugged her.
“I had to come early due to mama health. I missed everyone”.
“Tope, what exactly happened to mama ? Why is she in coma? He asked in a more serious tone.
“She had an accident and hit her head on the floor” she lied.
“Where is she going that she had an accident. My mum dont know anywhere in our estate”.
“She had a friend after estate. She said that she has missed her and wished to visit her…i…
“And you allow her to go!.
“I am sorry babe” she pleaded while he sit down. She dropped mama food and went over the reception. She secretly send Alex a message to leave the house. While doing all this ibikunle expressed his worries to Rebecca.
“I dont trust my wife on mama accident. My instinct keep telling me that Tope had a hand in this, look at all the bruises on my mother body. Its hurting me”. He voiced out.
“Wether she is lieing or not, lets wait till mama open her eyes. She will tell us everything”. Rebecca consoled.
Ibikunle and Rebecca later left the ward after spending few hours with his mama. He promised to come back for her.
They all enter Temitope car and she drove to the house. He alighted from the car whike Musa jumped up.
“Boss! Welcome back. I have missed you ooo. What did you bring for me?”. He asked collecting his bag.
“I brought plenty canes for you” he replied while he laughed it off.
They all enter the house.
“Why is mama number not reachable after leaving home? He asked Tope.
“It may be network”.
“Network! Everyday! No problem…get us something to eat while i went in to shower.
He went in,side his room and a strange scent hit his nose.
“Whats smelli_ng here?” He asked no one in particular and move towards the bed.
The strange scent hit his nostril all over again. He placed his hand on the bed and sit down. He was about to toss to the other side when the scent filled his nostril. He rushed to the toilet and vomitted into the toilet. He flushed it off and removed the bed cover trying to recognize the scent.
“It smell like sp-e–*-m. What is it doing here? I am not around all this while, how did sp-e-*–m got here.
“Temitope! Tope!! He called out.
She rushed in.
“What is d meaning of this?” He asked raising up the bedsheet stain.
She collected it and sniffed it. She pulled away .
“Oh i remember, it is my mucus. When i was rushing to the hospital in the morning. I have cattarh and i blew it away with the bedsheet.i forgot to remove it before going out. I am sorry”.
“You blew your nose with the bedsheet. It sound di_r_ty. You are not a dirt_y woman nawww!!!
“How can your mucus smell like that? He asked with a smirked look.
“D bedsheet is d_irty that is why i used it to blow my nose. I am sorry and that is how my mucus smell” she lied once again. Ibikunle doesnt know what to believe again, he left the room while she sighed.
“That was close” she muttered and quickly clean the room. She sprayed perfume everywhere and changed the bedsheet.
She went back to the kitchen and the food is ready, she served everyone.
Rebecca ate all her food and left the house for hospital telling ibikunle to rest .
He slept off after having his shower.
Temitope sent a message to Alex never to disturb her life again.
“But, you havent fulfill the promise you made to me today”. Alex complained over the phone through messages.
” I will find a way to do that. She typed and send it to him. She is getting tired of everything.
Ibikunle woke up at night and had beverages. He has missed his wife and his body yearn for her touch.
He called her over and k-ssed her neckline.
She pushed him away.
“Why?” He asked with a surprise look.
“I am doing my menstruation” she lied.
“Alright! I will wait till you are done with it”.
She has several bruises on her v….gina and wouldnt want ibikunle to see it. It will raise questioning look.
They both slept off.

The next day
Ibikunle was woken up by the buzzling of his phone. He picked the call.
“Guess what?” Rebecca asked over the phone.
“What!
“Mama just moved her fingers! She exclaimed over the phone while he jumped up.
“Thats great news. I am coming over to that place”. He shouted with excitement in his voice and went to have his bath. Temitope is up too from the noise she heard. She was forced to dressed up while they both went to the hospital.
“Its time to make a big move on mama before she opens her eyes”. She thought inwardly.
They arrived at the hospital while he rushed in,side the ward.
Mama has opened her eyes. She smiled on sighting her son.
Temitope sluggishly came in and see mama. Their eyes came into contact and mama scre-med out…..
They are all confused.
Mama passed out!
Ibikunle rushed to call the doctor. He ordered everyone outside.
“Why did mama passed out after seeing you? Hope you are not the cause of her illness becaus if you are, consider yourself gone in my house” ibikunle warned sternly.
The doctor call them in.
“Who did you say mama saw before passing out?” He asked
“My wife!
“Your wife!
“Yes! Temitope!!
“What i see in this case is that, maybe your wife has done some things to mama that when mama saw her. It triggers up the memories of what your wife has done to her. I prayed it dont lead to memory loss for her”. The doctor said.
“How is she?”
“She only passed out, we have stabilize her and she will be alright after sleeping…please dont disturb her” the doctor responded while they left.
Ibikunle walked over to her wife.
“Are you sure you did nothing wrong to mamaa?”.
“I am sure, why would i hurt mama?. Please believe me….
“We will all wait and see”.
“Excuse me please, i want to use the restroom” she informed her husband and went to a corner. A nurse is passing by, she approached her.
“Excuse me please! I want to see you”.
The nurse move closer to her.
“How can i help you?”
“Please nurse, you wont see someone that will send you away from your rightful place?”.
“Amen! Please go straight to the point. I have alot of work to do”.
“Alright. Please i have a work to request from you and it involve 2 million naira”…
On mentioning of 2 million naira, the nurse have more interest in it.
“There is an old mama in your ward and i want to get rid of her”.
“If she die, i hope it wont implicate me?” The nurse asked.
“Of course, i will make sure no autopsy is carried out on her. I will give u the money”.
“2 million right!
“Yeah! 2million”.
“Should i bring my account details?” She asked
“Yeah sure! I will pay 1.5 and after the completion of the job, i will give u the remaining 500k.
“Thank you”. She said and forward her account details to her.
She instantly sent the money to her.
“When should i be expecting my work done?”.
“Before this week runs out” she replied and left.
Temitope sighed out of relief.
“Everything is falling into places. Mama please forgive me, i have to do this to save my marriage. God will understand that am preventing my husband divorce. I cant leave ibikunle now. He is the one that helped me with my notes, assignment and seminars during our institution time. We dated for four years before getting married. Yes!! Ibikunle is the one that disv-rg–ined me on our wedding night. I dont understand the reason why i am not pregnant all this while. Just few months to my marriage, i dreamt of mama. She is in charge of my womb. She locked my womb and i had to deal with her. Her death will solve everything. It willl!!!!. She think inwardly and walked back to her husband.
