๐ธ Picked From The Dustbin:
โIโm pregnant for your husband.โ Amaka said to Princess. Princess was resting under a shade in her husbandโs compound. She had a glass cup containing red wine and she was holding a copy of Ovation Magazine in her left hand. She sips the wine and then flips through the magazine, enjoying an excellent weekend before the interruption by Aamaka who gained access into the compound after bribing the gate man with N1000.
โWhat did you just say?โ Princess asked with a worried face and troubled voice. She gently placed the cup of wine on a table placed before her. She lifted her face from the magazine she was reading so as to look at Amaka who was also looking at her as if she was searching for something on her body.
โI said Iโm pregnant for your husband. Did I put water in my mouth? Or do you have infection in hear ears? Your husband Chief Egbe got me pregnant and I have come to tell him of his responsibilities.โ Amaka said. Her courage and the way she spoke tell Princess that she was not playing. But Princess still chose to take what Amaka was saying with a pinch of salt even though she was deeply worried about it.
โWhat kind of joke is that? What do you mean you are pregnant for my husband? Where do you know my husband? Where did he see you and how did he get you pregnant?โ Princess asked with a mild laughter on her face. She was laughing but inwardly, she was troubled. She knows that Amaka cannot just jump out from the bush and start talking of being pregnant for Chief Egbe, but she still chose to behave as if the whole thing was a joke.
โSo you donโt know how a man gets a woman pregnant? As old as you are, you still donโt know the process of getting a woman pregnant? Well, I will spare you the details and just go into the building and occupy my position. Please, come and show me where to keep my things.โ Amaka said with a little โshakaraโ in her voice. She lifted her bag and started moving into the building with speed. She took a look at the large and beautiful compound and she was happy in her heart that the place would finally become her home.
โThis is my dream home. I have always dreamt of this day. Iโm happy Iโm alive to see the day I will move into Chief Egbeโs house.โ Amaka said to herself as she entered the build. As soon as she entered the spacious living room, she turned on the television and started feeling at home. She went to the kitchen and fried ten eggs and brought it out in a flat plate and started eating. She also opened the refrigerator and brought out two bottles of Maltina and used them to wash down the egg. All these happened within 30 minutes. Princess was shocked at the speed with which Amaka occupied the building and took over her kitchen as if she had been living with her for years.
โDo you care for some eggs? You are my co-wife and there is love in sharing. Gone are the days when co-wives fight each other. In todayโs world, we can actually share everything in peace, including the man.โ Amaka said as she swallowed a chunk of fried egg she was chewing. She drank some malt too and cleaned her lips with a piece of white tissue.
โCommon shut up your mouth. Who is going to be sharing man with you? Come, this girl, if I close my eyes and open it and still find you here, I will call the police to arrest you. I will lock you up and throw the keys to your cell into the Atlantic Ocean. Leave my house within the count of ten.โ Princess said with anger in her voice. She was really upset and if you drop raw yam in her heart, the yam would boil.
โStop that childish behavior and donโt even start counting to ten because I will not move an inch. If you close your eyes and open it, you will still see me here โgidigbam.โ How can you ask me to leave my husbandโs house? You are asking me to divorce my husband on the day of my wedding? Your husband got me pregnant and I have moved it. Iโm here to stay and it is high time you start treating me like a co-wife.โ Amaaka said without mincing words. She was very emphatic. She crossed her legs and sat like the madam of the house.
Princess stepped out of the room, brought out her phone and was about calling the police when her husband drove into the compound in his Rolls Royce. Chief Egbe is a very rich oil magnet who is well-known and who made money very early in life. He is so rich that people use his name as a reference when talking about money. He is 46 years old and his wife is yet to conceive at the age of 37. He got married to her 12 years ago. Her inability to conceive has been a problem to her.
โWhat is the problem? Why do you look so troubled? Is there a problem in the house?โ Chief Egbe asked.
โYes, there is a big problem and you just arrived at the right time. Letโs go into the house.โ Princess dragged her husband into the building and they both came face to face with Amaka who was holding TV remote and changing the channel to Zee World. She behaved as if she did not see Princess and Chief Egbe when they came in.
โThis lady here said you got her pregnant. Is she telling the truth? Donโt try to lie to me because I will find out. And if I find out, you wonโt like what would happen.โ Princess said to her husband. Her face showed she was really angry and agitated. Her husband looked so shocked and surprised. He quickly searched his brain to see if Amaka was part of the side chicks he has slept with recently, but clearly, he was seeing her for the first time. He knows in his heart of hearts that he has slept with many side chicks, but Amaka does not look familiar.
โDarling, Iโm meeting this girl for the very first time. Today is the first day Iโm setting my eyes on her.โ Chief Egbe said with a calm tone. His heart was worried, but somehow, he felt the need to be strong because he is very clear on one thing and that is the fact that he has never met Amaka.
โYou are not telling me the truth. How did she find our house? How did she know your name and exact address? How did she know your face? Answer me because Iโm running out of patience.โ Princess was now shouting.
โWhy are you talking to our husband like that? You are supposed to talk to our husband with respect. He is the man of the house and you cannot question his decision to bring another woman into the house. He reserves the right to marry a second wife just as he has done. It is his house.โ Amaka said, suddenly joining the conversation in a way that added fuel to the burning fire.
โShut your mouth! Who is your husband? I did not bring you into this house and I have never met you, neither did I sleep with you. I did not marry you. Pack your things and leave before I strangle you with my hands.โ Chief Egbe said. He was charging towards Amaka, but she started laughing absentmindedly. Cheife Egbe and Princess looked at each other in surprise and disbelief. Amaka seemed not to care about the threats. Instead, she stood up from the chair and walked out of the living room. She looked for a vacant room in the big building and moved her bags into it. The room was already furnished with everything.
โI have come to possess my possession. Nobody can stop me from possessing my possession. This is my room and I will stay here until I deliver this baby.โ Amaka said. She lay down on the soft mattress and slept off in peace without any fear in her heart.
Crazy days ahead!
