COMPULSORY MARRIAGE

EPISODE 25

Mary was right there on her own before you
talk to her or was she the 1st to approach
you? I doubt when she’s not a slut…you
approached her and decided to allow her
stay in your house under the same roof with
your fiancée and fooled the poor girl together
abi……………….she’s pregnant now, so what do
you want to do? Nkan to mo je lo yo e..have
u ever met her parent or spoken to
them?...what am I even saying self, how
would you have met her parent
Me: have not met them……..Told her that I
will be taking her to hospital tomorrow to
confirm her pregnancy claim
Mum: and what if the result is positive what
will u do? Am sure abortion is not an option
so don’t even think of it
Me: No…just to ascertain that she’s saying
the truth…moreover I cant marry her…I don’t
even know anything about her or her family
Mum: so u didn’t think of that before sleeping
with her……….dont worry but if I may ask, in
the last one month that you have been
together, do u notice any bad character about
her
Me: Sincerely none..she’s good on her own
part but I cant just leave Biola for her…Biola
is who I love
Mum: since Biola is the one you truly love,
you shouldn’t have venture into this in the
1st place..you shouldn’t have allow the thing
under ur trouser control your brain…..
Me: “Crying”………….No need to cry oko mi, I
understand how you feel..this is all your
mistake and I believe God will guide us
through….I will take her to the hospital
tomorrow while you go to work but lemme
call biola to talk her her…o ku ti sowa deyan
buruku lodo omo yen ati awon ebi e
bayi……..
“Dialing Biola’s number”
Me: Don’t worry yourself mum, I will take her
there myself..have called in sick already at
work for 3days and my Boss consented..so I
have enough time
Mum: Ohk oko mi….Biola is not picking my
calls..just don’t worry yourself..i know your
concern and I can assure you everytyn will
be settled…..God will guide us tru. Please
come and eat, your food is on the table
Me: Am not eating mum……
Mum: Please now oko mi…..lemme go and
bring it for you if you don’t want to come to
the dinning.
“she stepped out, I was a bit relieved pouring
my mind out atleast to someone who was
ready to listen to me…she came back with
the food, I eat and find my way to the bird,
didn’t know when sleep came over, all I
noticed when I woke up around 5am was a
lady sleeping beside me on the bed…I look at
her as if I should strangle her to death”.
I woke her up around after seven in the
morning to go dress up for hospital for a
test….i don’t have a personal physician so I
had to settle down for a private hospital in
my area but not too close to my house..
We got to the hospital, met the Dr on duty
and explained why we were in the hospital to
him…he said they will need to carry out a
blood test as that’s always more accurate
than urine test…there’s another small
compartment like a room in the Dr’s office

cos that was where he took her to…they
didn’t spend up to 10mins there and came
