๐ธ Picked From The Dustbin:
โWhy have you refused to come into my room since I moved into this house? Iโm also your wife and I deserve to be serviced like my co-wife. Instead of doing your bedroom duties, you have refused to come close to my room and I have been sleeping alone for many days.โ Amaka told Chief Egbe. He was going to his office early in the morning when Amaka came downstairs and blocked his way. She refused to allow him move an inch and he was running late.
โIโm not your husband. I did not marry you and I did not get you pregnant. I do not owe you any bedroom service. The earlier you get that into your skull, the better for you. You should be happy that I have allowed you to stay in my house pending when you will give birth and then you will leave. It is out of my good heart that I have done this. If you want to be serviced in the night by a man, look for the person who got you pregnant to service you. But if you insist on making me uncomfortable in my own house, I will chase you away without delay.โ Chief Egbe warned. He slightly pushed Amaka and moved her away from the door so he could pass and go to work.
But immediately he touched her, Amaka intentionally fell on the floor and started weeping bitterly. She held per big belly and shouted loudly. She was behaving like a pregnant woman in labour and this got Chief Egbe scared. Although he had opened the door of the room to leave, he returned when Amaka continued shouting as if the baby wants to come out. She clutched her waist and opened her mouth wide and shouted as if Chief Egbe had injured her badly.
โIโm in pains! You have killed me. What did I do to deserve this beating early this morning? Is it a bad thing to carry your baby? Why did you slap me? Look at how you kicked me as if I said anything wrong. I was just demanding for my rights as your wife and then you decided to beat me. If I knew you were a wife beater, I would not have agreed to marry you.โ Amaka said. A lot of tears were rushing from her eyes and her nose was running. She was also intentionally spitting saliva as if she had no more strength to live. Amaka did all these to scare Chief Egbe.
โBut I did not beat you. Why are you calling me a wife beater? I only shoved you out of my way so I could go to work. Stop the lies, I did not beat you. Donโt you dare tarnish my hard-earned image.โ Chief Egbe said and quickly rushed to where she was lying and lifted her up with his two arms. He was scared so he made up his mind to take her to the hospital in case he had injured her without knowing. But immediately he lifted her up, Amaka stopped crying. Also, Princess, appeared in the scene because she had heard the cries let out by Amaka.
โWhat is happening here? Why are you carrying her like an egg? You said you didnโt get her pregnant. So since when did you start pampering her if you did not impregnate her? Now I can see clearly that you have a lot to hide. Why are you carrying her like a baby?โ Princess asked her husband with anger on her face. Chief immediate froze and didnโt know what to tell Princess. He behaved like a man who had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.
โHe beat me. He kicked my belly. He slapped me and now he has injured me. Ask him why he is beating a pregnant woman like me. My co-wife please help me and ask him. Iโm in pains.โ Amaka cried bitterly to Princess. Princess became alarmed. Even with the anger in her heart, she still felt it was wrong to beat a woman, not to talk of a pregnant woman. But unknown to her, Amaka was telling lies and trying very hard to create another chaos in the house.
โWhy did you beat her? Are you out of your mind? Chief, why would you slap a pregnant woman? You got her pregnant and denied flatly even when the evidence is everywhere. Now, you want to kill her? If you kill her, you alone will go to jail because I wonโt follow you. I told you to send her away and you refused, now you have started beating her.โ Princess tells her husband. She was shouting on top of her voice and Chief Egbe was thoroughly embarrassed as he did not know how to defend himself against the two women holding him by the jugular.
โI did not beat her. I did nothing wrong.โ Chief Egbe said but his defense fell on deaf ears. When it was clear that he was not going to win the argument, he moved and stepped out of the building, still with Amaka in his arms. He angrily shoved her into the front seat of his car and then started driving to the hospital.
โAre you not happy now that you are driving me around town? It is just the both of us in this car. It feels very nice. Love is a beautiful thing. Are you not happy?โ Amaka asked Chief who was angry and trying to maintain a strong face. Because of Amakaโs behavior, he would be unable to go to work that day.
โDonโt pretend as if you donโt like me. Look at me and enjoy my beauty. You are not romantic at all. Your face is always strong. Is this how you treat my co-wife too?โ Amaka said with a sarcastic laughter on her face. Chief refused to talk or to look at her. He focused his attention on the tarred road and continued to steer the car with speed as he raced to the hospital.
โSmile now. Oya sorry. Donโt be angry.โ Amaka said, while trying to touch Chief Egbeโs hand which he was using to change gear.
โStop before you make me to have accident. We are on the road and you are not supposed to play with me because Iโm driving.โ Chief Egbe said.
โWhy are you always shouting? Canโt you talk with a romantic voice for once? Me, I donโt like this kind of husband that I married.โ Amaka said, frowning her face.
โIโm not your husband.โ Chief Egbe responded bitterly. They had arrived at the hospital and Amaka had stopped laughing and started crying immediately the nurses came to bring her down from the car.
โGood morning Chief. What happened to her?โ One of the nurses asked as Amaka was being wheeled into the ward.
โHe beat me up this morning. He beat me up and injured me. I donโt even know if the baby is still alive. He kicked my belly. Iโm in severe pains right now. Please help, I donโt want to die.โ Amaka said with tears in her eyes.
โBut Chief why would you beat a pregnant woman? You are a respected personality and this kind of a thing is not expected from people like you.โ The nurse said, looking at Chief Egbe directly like a police officer investigating a crime.
โFor Godโs sake I didnโt not beat this lady. She just wants to tarnish my image. Why are you doing this to me Amaka? What did I do to you?โ Chief asked. He was almost crying because he was greatly embarrassed by Amakaโs allegation and the nurses believed her words because anything pregnant women say sounds like absolute truth.
The nurses examined Amaka and no injuries were found in her body. The baby was also fine, but Amaka insisted on sleeping in the hospital even when she was discharged. She claimed she was still in pains. She insisted that Chief Egbe must stay with her in the hospital.
โIf you donโt stay with me tonight, I will go out of this place and I will go to the radio station and tell journalists that Iโm your wife and you beat me and threw me out.โ Amaka said to Chief Egbe. The chief did not know how to handle the situation, so he stayed. He already faced enough embarrassment and didnโt want his name broadcasted on radio as a wife beater.
Chief likes women a lot. He was able to control himself at home, but he could not control himself when he and Amaka were alone in the hospital ward. He made love to her. That was how Amaka lured Chief to herself away from Princess.
Crazy days ahead.
