???????? In The Name Of Love Episode TEN:
But when mother returned in a few hours from checking her jamb results,we needed not asking,as her facial expression had given us the answer we wanted……
She was wearing a very long face,it was obvious she didn’t make the needed mark for a university…
My child, it’s okay,at least you gave it a shot,we all saw how dedicated and determined you were while preparing for the exam,so if you didn’t pass,it doesn’t change anything,you did your best my daughter, grandpa said..
Thank you baba,thank you for been supportive, i really appreciate you,mother and my brothers for all you do for me and my children, God will richly bless you all,mother said…
That’s what family is about my daughter,we see through the good and bad times together, grandma added…
Welllllllll,I made it,mother shouted in joy,285 she said in joy…
Oh my God,woowwwwwwwwww you won’t kill me Imade, congratulations, grandpa said happily as he hugged her,I and Sammy and grandma did too,we were all happy for mother,she deserved it for all her efforts.i was very happy for her,and also determined to always pass my studies too..
Grandma made mother’s favourite meal for dinner that evening,there was celebration in the air,mother called my uncles abroad,her brothers to inform them of the good news and they were also very happy for Mother…..
The battle wasn’t over, she needed to study even harder for her post jamb,she didn’t want to school far away from home because of Sammy and I,she wanted to go to University of Benin,which wasn’t that far from grandpa’s house,but gaining admission to the university wasn’t a child’s play,and she was going for Nursing,she really needed that admission,and so she studied even harder,that at some point, grannies became worried for her,that perhaps she should slow down….
But it is nearly impossible to stop a determined woman, who’s ready to right her wrongs…
She soon wrote the exams and thankfully she passed well very….
By now,I was preparing for my first school leaving certificate examination too,encouraged by my mom,I studied hard,and the Saturday for my exam came,the questions were easy and I did my best,I was very happy as I was going to college,my 10th birthday was just a few days away….
Mother was waiting anxiously for her to be admitted,we were all praying and hoping for it,but it seems delayed and this bothered mother a great deal,but somehow,grandpa was hopeful that she’d be giving admission,since she has good results….
It was my tenth birthday,and grandma had made a delicious meal of jollof rice,grandpa had bought drinks,and made a big cake for me,few extended family had been invited, neighbors were also around,it was a mini party for me and I was very grateful…
Mother rushed out, that she’d be back in a few minutes.she returned about 40minutes later and she was very happy,she had been given admission to study Nursing in university of Benin.it was a double celebration,and we were all happy for mother…
Mother was going to the university and I was going to college, God was indeed with us….
We had our party and it ended joyfully, everyone returning home,only few of grandma’s people stayed back till the next day…..
Soon we went on holidays,while mother had started her clearance and admissions process….
Our lives were beginning to make so much sense that I wondered why mother had to stay so long before leaving father who didn’t see anything good in us….
It’s been more than a year and we hadn’t seen nor heard anything about father,he didn’t come for us,neither did grandma nor anyone from father’s side,i only wondered if we were ever loved nor considered family by father’s people,not even aunty Isoken whom I thought had our best interest and mother’s at heart.well life was better without them,and that was our consolation….
Mother was done with her clearance and had resumed classes, grandma was very helpful,she was the one practically taken care of Sammy and I,since mother was always in school.
Mother was glowing,she was looking very beautiful by the day,I believe she was happy with herself,she was achieving what she thought wasn’t going to be possible, perhaps she had thought she wouldn’t be able to further her education anymore, infact that would have been the case had she remained with father.
I could also remember the countless times father would make mockery of her of been uneducated and a liability,I believe she was happy she was achieving her dream despite the odds….
Mother loved us even more,she couldn’t stop thanking God for blessing her with Sammy and I,that sometimes I think she must be an angel, some women tends to transfer the hatred they have for their ex husbands on their kids,as they see them as a constant reminder of their father’s betrayal,but that wasn’t the case,mother loves Sammy and I with every breathe in her…..
School was resuming for the session the next week,and Grandma took me with her to the market to get everything we’d be needing for school,books,bags, shoes, socks,pen,pencils and what have you…
On Friday prior to the school’s resumption,we were home with grandma having lunch, grandpa had gone out,when we heard a knock at the protector…
I went to open it,and I was shocked to see those standing in front of me….
It was grandma and father.i was surprised,as we weren’t expecting them…
Adesuwa,how how you,father asked, smiling widely,I didn’t know how to feel,whether to be happy to see him,or be angry at him….
My daughter, open the gate, let’s come in and see your mother,or anyone at home, grandma said….
I had forgotten I came out to open the protector gate…..
Ade, who’s that, grandma was asking from inside….
I managed to open the gate and they walked in,father touching my head and looking at my body from head to toe….
They walked inside And Grandma was shocked to see them….
She immediately washed her hand and stood in anger…
What are you doing here,she asked both of them in anger….
My in-lawwwwwwwww
Hold it, grandma said interrupting father’s mother,I nor my husband can not remember given you our daughter to you in marriage,or was there a time you paid her bride price and we aren’t aware, grandma asked angrily….
My sister, please, let’s not go there, infact I am sorry for even calling you in-law as our children are no longer together, father’s mother said.
So what are you doing in my house, grandma asked in anger….
Ma,the truth is,I didn’t come here for trouble,I only came to have my children back, especially Adesuwa,since she’d Soon be going to college, I’d want her to attend a college of my choice,father said…
And my heart was skipping and beating fast, going with father would mean the end of my education,as he’d definitely not send me to school, he’d perhaps look for a relative’s house to dump me…
You are mad,I can see you are mentally unstable, Efosa,ahaaaa you are brave oh,you have the guts to come to my house to vomit this rubbish,with that mistake of a woman you call your mother,if you don’t want to see madness,take your smelling selves out of here,you are lucky my husband is not around,am sure you would not be singing the same sing by now,grand ma said..
What are you even saying,you can not deprive my son of his right over his children, he’s their father,and has the right to determine the school they’d go,you are just their grandmother,you have no right over them as long as my son their father is still very much alive.grandma form father’s side said……
Really,okay, wait,I am coming,please wait,grandma went inside……
Efosa, let’s go outside, who knows what that mad woman is up to, grandma said to father and they both went out waiting to see what grandma was up to…..
Grandma soon came out with a bucket of water, mixed with pepper and kerosene..
You would have stayed back,why did you leave,I wouldn’t mind mopping my parlor,as long as your bodies do not remain the same, idiot, useless son of a shameless mother.if you don’t leave my compound right now i am going to scream, that there are thieves in my compound,you wouldn’t want to know what would become of you should those street boys gather here,grandma said In anger…..
Efose, let’s leave,this woman is mad, it’s obvious, let’s go, grandma said to father and they both left….
Grandpa was very angry at the effrontery of father to have come to his house…
Ahaaaa,oyaaaa,why didn’t you lock them in until I got back, ahaaaa,that boy had the guts to come into my house to spill rubbish.grandpa was very angry….
Mother came back from school and learnt the development at hand,she was angry,and wanted to go to father’s mother’s house to warm them,but she was stopped…..
Don’t worry,imade, don’t worry,just relax, he’d come again,and hopefully I’d be at home that day, grandpa said….
School had opened for the new term ,and Sammy and I had resumed too….
About two weeks into resumption,we were on our way back from school,when a car stopped by and a huge man hurried out of the car and dragged us in and then they drove hurriedly away.
