********************************************
The next day,
Rebecca is not aware of what happened to the family. She only dressed up to visit mama in the hospital. She is leaving the hospital that day.

She met mama already sitted on the bed with a big smile on her face.

She can’t help it but to hugged the old woman.

“I am glad to have you back” she said.

“Its good seeing you too! Don’t tell me that i have been on this bed all this while”.

“You are on this bed all this while, no probs mama. Am happy that you are going back home today.

“Which home?” Mama asked.

“Ibikunle house nah!.

“I will rather stay in my former house than living there”.

“What would send you away from your son house when you are still alive?”.

“I have endured enough pains in this life. I don’t want to experience more pains again. I am tiredddd!!!

“What did you mean by that statement?”.

“Did you know that I was confined to this bed due to Tope!.

“Tope! How?”

“She beat me up the day I fainted and didn’t know where I am, not until the day I saw her in the ward and scre-med out. I don’t want to have anything to do with that woman again. Please Rebecca, I don’t want to live in that house again”.

“It’s okay mama! Rather for you to leave that house, she will be the one to leave for you. She told us that you had an accident when coming back from your friend house. That lady is w!cked. She is leaving ibikunle house.

Rebecca packed mama stuff and called ibikunle to come and pick them. His voice sound sad over the phone.

“What happened dear? You sound so ba*d! I just called to inform you that, mama wants to see you, she is ready to leave the hospital.

“Alright ma, I will be there”. He replied and ended the call.

Mama held Rebecca hand. She looked up to her.

“Thanks for being there for me always, my parents couldn’t do more than all what you did for me. Thanks my dear”. Mama appreciated her while she hugged her.

“You are my big sister and i love you so much, your past tale about your life make me love you so much. I will always be there for you”. She responded and released her from the hug.

Abayomi drive Ibikunle to the hospital, he is looking so down!.

They both Alighted from the car went into the ward.

He hugged her mum on sighting her while tears strolled down his face . He sobbed so hærd….

Mama couldn’t understand the reason behind his tears, she gently pulled him back and clean his face.

“Why is my boy crying like a baby?” She asked him facing Abayomi at the same time.

“Let’s all go home and I will explain everything”. Abayomi replied while they are all lead home.

They Alighted from the car and went into the sitting room.

“Where is Temitope?” Rebecca asked ibikunle

“That lady is leaving your house today , it must not exceed today, she has crossed her limit in this house and I will make sure that she is gone in no time. How could she beat mama till the state of coma! That lady is a cr!Minal”.Rebecca shouted to everyone hearing. Ibikunle couldn’t talk he just keep looking.

Mama is so concerned about her son state.
The last time his son cried that way was when she couldn’t afford his final year fees back then before God later perform his wonders and the day he saw her back in his house.

She move closer to him and tapped him.
“Ibikunle mi! Did you want me too to start crying. Whats wrong with you?” Mama asked .

Rebecca checked all the rooms to see Temitope but couldn’t find her.

“Where is Tope?” She asked ibikunle before he finally reply.

“I caught her with a man on our matrimonial bed”.

“What!.

“That lady is gone already”. Rebecca shout out.

“She beat mama to coma in the first place and commit adul_tery againnnn. It’s not accepted here”. Rebecca voiced out again.

Just then,
A gentle knock hit the door.

“Who is there?” She asked.

“It’s me o”.

She went to open the door while Temitope mum and her daughter with two elders entered the house. On sighting Temitope, Rebecca rushed to her and hit her. A fight ensued while they separated the both of them.

“Take it easy ma, let’s settle what we are here for”. One of the elder man said while they all sit on the chair.

Temitope mum went on her kneel with Temitope and begged Mama.
“Mama! I know you are the eldest person here in this gathering, i know my mouth doesn’t contain what I want to tell you but please, I am using the Almighty God to beg you, please forgive Tope, let her come back to her husband house. Ibikunle my dear, please am begging you too. Forgive your wife. She will never repeat it again. She pleaded while mama smile.

“God is wonderful, he really is! So, Temitope can beg me. I have forgiven her o, but my son cant take her in again because she has exceeded the chances she had in this house”.

“Mama, we know that you are still angry, please forgive her. We know it will remain in his husband mind forever but i want you all to know that if we don’t forget yesterday fight, we won’t have someone to play with. Please forgive her”. One of the elder man cut in.

Ibikunle stand up all of a sudden and move closer to Tope which is on her kneel.

He raised her chin up and stare into her eyes.

“Temitope! He said with tears in his face.
“I loved you! I love you right from our institution days. You are such a fragile soul then….you are beautiful, we courted for some years before getting married. Oh yes!! I was the one that disv-rg_ined you and I won’t ever forget that happiest day in my life but ….you ruined it by disliking my mum. I begged you the day i was leaving home for Abuja to take care of my mum. I came back to meet her in coma. You even go as far as bringing in another man into the house. Didn’t I satisfy you enough? I performed all my marital roles to you. What else did you want? What is it you desire again? I gave you alot of money. I showered you sooooo much love but….see where it lead you. I am sorry, my dear love. You are dea*d to me!. He said

“Salewa Lead me to all this, she said that because i dreamed of mama once, she is the one in charge of my childlessness. I am sorry, give me the last chance please Ibikunle”. She pleaded with hot tears streaming down her face. Ibikunle shake his head, dropped her chin and went back to his seat.

“She is not coming back to his house because any lady that raise her hand up to beat her mother in law is looking for cu*rse to herself”. Rebecca shouted.

“Can you advice your own too son, the two elders that came in….can you advice your son to marry someone like this. She is not coming back here, I have forgiven her o. But, she is not coming back and that is the finallll”. Mama replied while Tope cried out.

“Don’t you know that any younger lady beating and maltreating her mother in law is looking for cûrse towards herself. How would you get pregnant when you keep maltreating her. I don’t know what to say again”. The second elder replied.

All pleadings to ibikunle and his family fall on deaf ears. Temitope and her people left them while Tope cry so much.

TBC.
