Episode 1
Finding out that I have health issues really made me sad, I became an addict, always drinking and sleeping, going to hospital all the time became a routine for me, I was still trying to save my life.. I prayed to God as I was always going to church but.. it seems some prayers cannot be answered,
My family, my doctor, and my ex girlfriend Roselyn are the only people aware of my sickness, unfortunately for me Roselyn left me for another man cause she doesn’t want to be with someone that has a deadly sickness.
My mother has been there for me, helping me with my house chores drifting the weekends or whenever she is free, she cooks, encourage me and still tell me to pray.
One of the weekend she came as and said.
You’re dying Andre, I’ve been praying to God to completely heal you but it’s getting worse.. despite all the money we have, there’s still no solution to this your sickness.
You look pale, what about Roselyn, has she reached out yet? My mother asked me.
She left mum, i loved Roselyn, everyone knows about us, we had our future and life planned but she left me, she hasn’t reached out..
But… what was the reason she left? She asked again.
Mum, who wants to stay with a man like me? I am always visiting the hospital, I spend almost my week in the hospital, I am always spending my money on chemotherapy.
Roselyn left me when I needed her most, I’ve been in pain, living in sadness mum.. it’s getting worse.
Andre, I’d advice you get someone and start afresh, you need a child before you this cancer kills you.. I am not saying you will die okay, no mother would want to see her child die, but you have to use your head and get a wife, get her pregnant so your name and you can be remembered.
Getting a wife in this condition is a no for me. I will not be able to love them and be with them. I don’t want to make any woman a widow.
You should stop drinking too much Andre.. it’s not good for your health.
I think you should start leaving…you’re done with my chores, I need to go to the hospital and get my drugs..
I’ll get you a wife.
I’m not interested.
My mother is a lawyer, (Mrs Owen)a well known lawyer in the city, world wide, She does her job perfectly well…I lost my father years back
She was still with me when a call came in..
Hello, Mrs Owen.
Hi, who’s this please.
My name is Judith, I got your number from a lawyer..The caller said.
So, how may I help you? My mum asked.
My husband has been in prison serving for no cause, he hasn’t been setenced, Mrs Owen my husband is innocent, his brother is just trying to frame him.
What’s the case?
It’s a murder case..
Wow.. this is huge, it will cost you a lot
I know, how can I see you?
Just come to my office tomorrow morning…
Okay, Thank you.. hangs up
You have to be careful handling a murder case.. it’s a very delicate issue.
I know Andre, if the man is innocent then he should not suffer for what he doesn’t know or what he didn’t do.. I have to go now, I have a case to solve.. Think about what I told you. Get a wife Andre. See your child before God takes you.. I know you will not die but…
I interrupted my mother by telling her to just leave..
The next day my mother went to her office and by 9am, Mrs Judith and her daughter was already in her office waiting for her..
Are you the person that called me yesterday?
Yes..
Who’s this girl with you. My mother asked with curiosity
She’s my daughter Lisa..
Good day ma.. Lisa greeted.
Soo, tell me about everything..
Mrs Judith started
My husband and his brother had issues concerning a land.
Oh! It’s the land dispute that resulted to the murder case?
Yes..
Go on.
The owner of the land is my husband, but his brother has been fighting him for a very long time.. so to cut the story short, one of the worker to my husbands brother was shot exactly the time my husband arrived in our home.. my husband took him to the hospital and his brother came and said he killed the boy.. he and the deceased family arrested him and they took the case to court.. all the lawyers we’ve paid and told what happend kept saying my husband brother is offering them more money to leave the case. Making everything worse.
Soo now he is still in prison? Are you trying to say your in-law is bribing the lawyers you’ve contacted to handle your husbands case?
Yes ma..
I’ll talk to your husband myself.. and mind you, you have a beautiful daughter.. is she engaged?
No..
Okay! I’ll help you bring your husband out. When is he going to court?
In two weeks time..
I’ll see him tomorrow. You should come to court too.
How much are we going to pay you??
Let me talk to your husband first..
Andre.. I’ve gotten a wife for you.
I don’t understand you mum.
You know the lady that called me yesterday, she came with her daughter and she’s beautiful, her name is Lisa.. and she’s perfect for you.
Sooo.. you want me to marry Lisa?
Yes, soo this is how it will be.
I’ll help release her dad from prison on the condition that she must marry you.
That’s ridiculous mum, marrying a young girl to me? How will she feel when she finds out you’re being inconsiderate?how can you think of marrying someone to your son that’s almost dying?
She needs to give birth.. I’ll see you when I am back from the prison tomorow, I’ll tell her father and her mother..
Mum… Lisa is not coming to my house..
Episode 2
Andre, I’ll be going to the prison today.
It’s your job, be safe mum.
Are you having a fever? My mum asked.
Yeah.. I’ll be fine…
I’ll see you later.
My mother left me and went to prison to see Lisa’s father..
She met Lisa again.. Lisa has been fighting for her fathers freedom but it seems every lawyer they come across is actually running away with their money, they aren’t poor, they are capable but haven’t meet with the right lawyer yet.
Mrs Judith, you came on time, take me to your husband, Lisa how are you? Do you work?
Yeah, I work as a secretary in a company..
Any heart break?
Why this question Mrs Owen? We’re supposed to be talking about my fathers release.. I’m sorry if I sounded rude
It’s fine.. I just like you.. you’re extremely beautiful.
Thank you ma.. we can go see my dad now, I think he’s out.
You’ll have to wait here Lisa, This case doesn’t concern you.. allow me and your parents do the job
Fine! I’ll wait outside…be safe..
Mrs Owen turned and said “exactly what my son told me” she left to meet Lisa’s parents
After exchanging pleasantries their discussion began.
Her father Mr Frank told her exactly what her mother told her.
I want to get out Mrs Owen, prison life has been hell, we barely feed here and my family needs me especially my daughter Lisa.. she has really tried to raise money too..
I’ll get you out.. I promise you.. I’ve gotten your file from the high court, and I’ve written a letter to them.. the next time you’re appearing in court is the day of your freedom and you’ll get back your land.
How much will it cost us? Lisa’s mother asked.
It’s a huge amount of money.. it will cost you 7million.
Mrs Owen, I understand you’re a professional but it is too much please, we’ve spent a lot on this case and we’ve been duped too, my brother paid my lawyers higher than me and they left the case..I can only afford 4million for now, I know it is still much but I have no choice
Mr Frank it’s a murder case…
I know.. help me.
On one condition..
What’s it..? Lisa’s mother asked with curiosity.
Your daughter will marry my son Andre.
Why? I don’t understand.
Ok, my son do not want to have any woman by his side cause his ex left him broken, I need grand children, and I promised him a wife, when I saw Lisa I liked her, I like your daughter.
There’s more to this Mrs Owen. Just tell us what is wrong with your son.
Okay… my son is dying.. I am a mother and it hurts me seeing him like that I ’ve been praying for him to get well but it seems it’s getting more critical by the day..
What’s killing him?Lisas father asked.
He has cancer… if it gets to the last stage then he’s going to die.. I want him to have kids before he leaves this world..
You want your son to marry my daughter, then die, making her a widow and her children fatherless? Mrs Owen.. please, Lisa means a lot to us her parents, this is a very difficult issue..
I am a mother Mrs Judith, do you know how it feels knowing your child is going to die soon? Andre is not happy 😢 he is totally in pieces.. help me and I’ll help you.. I can even handle your case for free.
I’m sorry Mrs Owen,, I can’t do this. I can’t hurt my daughter.. she’ll never accept your son.
My son will never accept her, but it is a pressure from me.. I’ll be left with nothing from my son if he leaves, seeing my grandchildren will make me always know he’s with me..
I can’t Mrs Owen…
Your daughter will not be aware of the sickness, that’s the only way she can accept him, please..
I can’t do this to my child Lisa..
You just have to tell her or you’ll be sentenced to death and she’ll watch you die…
Please leave Mrs Owen.. Thank you for your time..
Lisa.. Mrs Owen wants you to marry his son so she can handle my release for free. Mr Frank said
Marry her son? Have you met him?
No, but she said that’s the only way she can be my lawyer and help me.
I can’t marry her son, I don’t know her son, was that why she asked if I was single?
I think so…
Is there no other way for this? How much did she charge
7million.
She did that cause she knows we cannot afford such amount…
I know Lisa…
I can’t let you die dad, and I can’t marry her son, I don’t know what’s going to be my fate with a man I do not know..
I rejected the offer.. Lisa dad said.
But why is she looking for a wife for her son?
She said she needs grandkids and her son has refused to get married or even be in a relationship.
Then, she should let him be,, let him make his choice..
Lisa, your father is going to die, if you don’t marry Her son…Mrs Judith said.
Mum, are you trying to say I should marry her son?
I am trying to say, you should save your father.. please, his life is in your hands now. It’s either you watch him die in two weeks time or you save him..
I’m going home mum…
Think about it Lisa.
My mother came back to my house.
How did it go mum?
It’s a case I can handle though, I went through his file and on my way coming back I met with Lisa’s Uncle, I guess he heard of me and he knows his brother has met with me..
Sooo,, I asked.
He offered me 20million not to work on his brothers release.
Then if he offered you such money, that means he is the murderer.
Exactly, he killed the guy and framed the innocent man.
So what are your plans.
I told them the only way I can help them is to marry their daughter to you..
What? You did that? Why?
Chill, I told them about your sickness, but they won’t tell Lisa… Andre, I want a child from you. I want you to learn how to love again.
Mum, this is not right, she’s an innocent girl and doesn’t deserve this, this condition you gave them shows you’re being selfish
I am doing it for you Andre.
I didn’t ask for it.. I don’t want to get married. My life is perfect, I am just a cancer patient
That’s the reason why you need a woman, I can’t be coming to your house all the time to do your chores and cook for you. You need someone to help you with all these things I just mentioned.
You’re getting me angry mum.
I am praying it works out,, cause her parents refused but I am going to call them..
And tell them what?
Andre, you need to see Lisa, you’ll fall in love with her, she’s soo beautiful and very calm. She’s almost your height.. but she’s average.
I loved Roselyn mum… I don’t think I can love a woman I am going to make a widow soon. If my cancer enters the last stage, then I am done for. I won’t be able to see my children. Soo your plan is technically useless,, I don’t know Lisa, I can’t love her.. I am glad her parents refused and said NO to your offer, you can’t destroy their daughters life due to your selfish reasons..
She’ll not be happy.
Three days later my mother called Lisa’s mum, told him about his brother in-law and how he met and offered her 20million to stop the case..
My brother in-law met you already? And offered you 20 million?
Yes, that’s a huge amount of money.. if I accept it your husband is going to die.
What are we going to do now?
Give us Lisa.. and everything will be fine.
I’ll get back to you.
Lisa, Mrs Owen called me, your uncle has offered her 20 million, please save your father..
have you called dad?
I’ll go see him now.. I need to tell him, Mrs Owen is the best lawyer soo far.. and she’s willing to do this for free if you accept her proposal. Let’s go see your father please.
Lisa went with her mother to the prison again and told him what has happened.
It was a Tough decision but she had no choice.
Dad, I want you alive, I don’t know the reason why she wants me to marry her son but I think I’ll have to do it for your sake, your brother shouldn’t take what belongs to you, and if you die now, all the property will belong to him and there’s nothing we can do, mum can’t be a widow.. I’ll marry him 😢 I want you to be free.
Thank you Lisa. You’ll be fine.. let me call Mrs Owen.
Hello, Our daughter will marry your son. Start doing your job now..hangs up
Andre, it is done.
What is it?
You’re getting married..
What?
They accepted.. get ready to meet Lisa before your wedding… I want you to marry her legally.
This is crazy mum..Lisa is innocent, she’ll hate her parents and you for this..
I am doing this for you..and the marriage will be before his release.. I need to be sure..I’ll contact her mother.
My mother contacted Lisa’s mother
I need Lisa’s phone number.. I want her to meet with my son before the wedding…she said
She’ll call you Mrs Owen..
Hours later lisa called.
Hello ma, it’s Lisa..
I know. I’ll send you my sons number and you’ll call him and fix a date with him. I want you to meet him first.. and as soon as possible
He is the one marrying me. He should be the one to call me.
Lisa, no argument. Check your phone and call him right away, you’re doing this for your father and for me.. I’ll see you soon. * hangs up*
55 minutes later I got a call from Lisa.
Hello.. it’s Lisa. Your wife.
I’m not married, and I don’t wish to be..
I didn’t ask for this. I want us to meet, let me see and know who I am getting married to. She said
Pick your favorite hotel.
You’re taking me to an hotel?
You’re dumb and silly Lisa, There are bar, restaurants in every hotel.. I still do not want to marry a dumb lady who feels I want to take her to bed on our first meeting.
I’ll contact you rude boy.. if you’re soo perfect why did you not get a wife for yourself?
You can quit if you want, I am not forcing you and like I said earlier, I do not wish to be married to a girl like you.. your voice is soothing though.
I am doing this for my father…I’ll text you where to meet me. Lisa said and hanged up
Episode 3
I wasn’t eager to meet Lisa, I wanted her to call me at her own pace, she needs to be ready to do this, I thought of it and I had no idea why I accepted it.. I gues I did because I do not want her innocent father to die in prison for something he didn’t do..
Hello mum. How are you?
I should be asking you Andre.. how are you? Have you met with Lisa,?
Not yet, she’ll call me when she’s ready,, I am doing this for her father not because I want to get married or cause I need a child.. I do not want her to give birth, and I am having taking her to bed mum..
Andre, you have to do this as soon as possible, you need to see you child.. I am still praying for you as my son.. I don’t want to loose you to the cold hands of death.. you’ll be fine if it’s Godswill.. I still have faith.. I’ll meet with Lisa and talk to her first….
My mum met with Lisa..
Good day ma.
Lisa, I know how hard it is for you to marry my son.. I want you to treat him nicely and be a good wife to him.. and I want you to give birth to a child soon..
Mrs Owen, the purpose of getting me married to your son is just to have baby for him?
How old is he? And why are pressuring him? It seems he’s not ready yet and you’re trying to force him..allow him make his choice.
He is still young lisa, very young.. I am not getting younger, I just need to hold my grandchild..
It’s fine, I’ve spoken with him and we’ll meet.. I am doing this for my father.. I need to leave now.
Wait! Tell your parents that the wedding will commence soon before your fathers freedom.
Wait! You want me to tie the knot 🪢 with your son before you get my father out?
Yes Lisa..
That’s such a rush… I’ll tell them.. bye.
After two days Lisa called me and said. * I want to see you, I’m ready now*
Pick your venue.. I told her.
De Harold’s hotel 🏨 that’s my favorite place..
I’ll meet you there tomorrow by 5pm.. don’t be late..
Lisa with her Mum
I’ll be meeting with Mrs Owen’s son tomorrow mum, I feel soo nervous, I don’t know why, I just feel I am not doing the right thing.
You’re doing the right thing Lisa, you’re doing it for your family..
What if he’s short, blind, crippled or not even my type of man, I’d end up living in regret..
His mother said we will get married Before she stand for dad in court.. that means I’ll be getting married next week before dad appear in court.. soo I am getting married without my father.. how awful.
I’ll leave work early tomorrow, I am going to see him tomorrow… I’ll call you, I need to go home now..
It was around 4:30 when Lisa called me and said she’s at De Harold’s hotel 🏨… I guess she went there too early. I was a bit weak and I had to spend more 20 minutes trying to gain back my strength before driving to meet her..
I was dressed in black, properly combed my hair, I wore my best body spray and a very nice perfume, I am meeting her for the first time I need to look good despite my illness.. I didn’t forget to wear my wrist watch ⌚️ also..
She kept calling to know why I wasn’t there, I told her the usual “ There’s traffic Lisa, I am close to you.”
, I wasn’t nervous, it was like every normal meeting to me.. I saw her from a distance sitting alone and constantly checking her wrist watch, I guess she’s trying to work with her time..
Hello Lisa, I’m sorry I am late.. I sat down.
She was speechless and couldn’t talk..
Lisa.. what’s wrong? I just walked in and you’re too quiet.
How did you know I am Lisa? She asked.
I know you’re Lisa.. you’re the only person sitting alone here, there’s no other explanation for it.. how are you?
I’m cool… you look and smell nice.. I have lots of questions.. introduce yourself please
I am Andre, a business man. I’m in my late 20s.. and I am getting married to you..
Why are you doing this Andre? Why is your mother doing this to me?
I don’t know! She wants a grand child..
It’s my feelings Andre, I never planned for this, it hurts me soo bad knowing I am getting married to a handsome stranger..
What? I asked.
You’re cute Andre, why the pressure? You’re young too. I was thinking you’re 40 and above.
You’re beautiful too, but you’re not reasonable to me.. how dare you ask me why I am doing this to you Lisa? Have we met? Did I propose any marriage to you? Do you think I want to marry you? I no longer have feelings for any woman.. my mother is the desperate one and your father do not want to die..
I am doing this for your father and not my mother.. it’s my mothers plan and not mine, do I look like someone who is in a rush to marry? I don’t even want to get married, even if I wanted too, you’re not my kind of woman.. I’m sorry..
You can reject the offer Lisa, it’s easy..
But your mother will not handle the case of my father if I opt out.. my father will die Andre..
I’ll marry you..that’s the only way I get to see my father alive..
Soo hard for you to lose a loved one, I see the sadness in your eyes Lisa, you’re scared of loosing your father, and you are ready to do what it takes to save him..
I wish same can be done for me.
What do you mean Andre?
I’ll be needing a bottle of beer… let me have the menu.. I told Lisa
I ordered for my beer , Lisa kept staring, I knew she liked me, she was lost..
Lisa… you’re staring too much..
When are we getting married? She asked.
Weekend.. your father is appearing in court next week. Weekends are for weddings
Who’s paying my dowry? Your mother?
No… I am..
But…
I know, she’s the one marrying you to me.. I want to pay everything, if she pays automatically you become hers and you can’t stay with me the choice is yours anyway.
I’ll go with your Idea Andre..
Do you like me? I asked
Yeah, I do. I like you as a person..
I noticed..
How?
The way you look at me Lisa.. are you sure you want to marry me?
Yeah, for the sake of my father I will marry you Andre.. your mother told me she want kids that’s why she’s asking me to marry you but I feel there’s more..
I don’t want kids..
Then why are we forced to do this?
I don’t know.
You can order for anything before we leave I have an appointment..
Lisa was drawn to me like a magnet 🧲 I noticed the way she looked at me,, my mother is putting us in danger.. many things were going through my head as I thought of backing out when I remember what will happen next.
When I asked her about her relationship she said she ended it cause the relationship was being toxic..
What happened to yours? She asked.
She left me, I guess I wasn’t good enough for her, she did the right anyway.. I don’t deserve her..
Andre, I don’t like the way you respond to my questions.. we’re getting married, none of us wants this…
Lisa, I am the person being forced to marry you.. you can still change your mind… it’s my first time meeting you and I have no connection with you.. there’s no chemistry, I am even trying to force myself to have a conversation with you.. so far so good it’s not worth it.. please change your mind for your mental health Lisa.
I think I’ll just leave Andre..
Take care then..
She left before me, I wasn’t being a gentle man..
I drove to my mums office…
I’ve met Lisa, she doesn’t deserve to be a widow.
And you think I your mother deserve to be without my child? You should start going to church often..
Mum, I can feel it, Lisa likes me already, I don’t hate her okay, but mom just take the money they offered you and get her father out of prison..
Andre… fix your wedding.
I am cancelling it mum.. i just realized the gravity of what you’re trying to do.. I just met Lisa and I feel I shouldn’t do this anymore
Fix your wedding…
I called Lisa.
Hello, Lisa please, I’m sorry but I don’t think I can do this.. I thought we’d eventually blend but with the way I am feeling right now I cannot marry you.. we are not compatible, you’ll regret this decision someday..
Andre, my mind is made up, we’re having this wedding..
I am still trying to talk to my mother about this..
Your mother just called me and told me not to back out, I am feeling the pressure too..
I warned you Lisa..it will not end well for you..
We’ll probably go our separate ways when my father is out.
A deal is A deal.
Why is Andre cancelling the wedding? Her mother asked.
I don’t know mum, he doesn’t want this, he doesn’t like me too.
Seeing him today how did you feel?
Mum, Andre is different, he talks with so much authority, and he’s not hiding his feelings towards me..he doesn’t deserve me, I am doing this for dad..
I’m sorry Lisa.. your phone is ringing.
It’s Andre.
Lisa… can we talk tomorrow? Can I see you tomorrow morning?
I’ll be going to work Andre.
It’s important Lisa
Ok.. I’ll see you tomorrow..
Episode 4
I called Lisa again and asked her to meet up at where we met, she came, this time she was looking soo fine, her skin was glowing…
She sat down, I offered her a drink as we began to talk..
I’ve been trying to talk to my mother about your dads issue Lisa, I don’t want this marriage honestly.
Yesterday when we met you never act like you were serious..
Listen Lisa! We’re marrying for the wrong reason and marriage like this will always not end well.. I am begging you to back out..
Do you think love grows within seconds?? I still do not know you. You do not know me.. what if you’re signing your death warrant without you knowing?
I have nothing against you but it will not work between us no matter how hard we try Lisa
Andre, it’s easy, I’ve heard everything you’ve said.. but if marrying you is the only way to bring out my father then I will marry you.
I am not connected to you don’t you get it?
I get it Andre..
You’re not listening Lisa,, you’re not paying attention to every details..
Andre, your mother spoke with me, she also called me, I have no idea why I am doing this but it’s the right thing to do, we trust your mother and we believe she is the only person to bring my father out from prison..
I guess you do not understand how it feels to be without your father.. my father has been in prison for many months, I only get to talk to him for minutes, my mother is broken, she’s sad and the only way your mother said she’d help us is for me to marry you Andre of which I don’t understand what’s going on… I AM DOING THIS FOR MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER.. now tell me Andre why are you doing this??
Lisa, honestly I don’t want to do this, but if you still insist we go ahead it’s fine… anything you withness or see in the marriage do not blame me. I’ll not be there when you need someone to talk to..
Lastly Lisa, I don’t love you, Ivystill not healed from my previous relationship, this is a very tough decision..
Andre.. we can always get a divorce, it’s normal..
You’re too stubborn Lisa.. I hope you get what you’re looking for, if you still feel we can blend then I am sorry for you..
Have you asked your parents anything concerning this??
Yeah, and I Was told exactly what your mother told me..
It’s time to leave Lisa..
Fix the date Andre, my father will appear in court next week..
I’ll call you.. There’s no need to print wedding cards…. Have a nice day Lisa..
After she left I discussed with my mother, she wanted to do everything herself but I refused cause I know if I allow her foot the wedding when I eventually die Lisa will not be able to live a free life and it will be difficult for her to leave.. so I decided to do the traditional rites on my own…. I got our wedding rings💍 told my pastor in church that in two days time they’ll be a wedding in the church with few or more friends and family.
I called Lisa and told her to text her address which she did, I drove to her house together with my mother.. Lisa’s Is from a wealthy home too..
We got there and her mothers family were present, I was told what to do and I got everything done immediately.. I noticed she was crying, I knew it will come to this.
I told everyone present that I am being forced to do this and Lisa can quit.
This is a matter of life and death Andre, we can’t bear to lose our father, husband and uncle. Her mother said
Your daughter is crying..
I’m fine Andre. She said.
I went outside and her mother followed me.
Andre, I am a mother and Lisa is hurting, we haven’t told her yet Asians we don’t think we will tell her, please be careful with my daughter, she’s doing this for her father and for the family.. do not make life more difficult for her..
She’s already making my life difficult and clueless.. if her happiness matters to you as her mother then you’d tell her to quit.
I still want my husband alive. Mrs Judith said.
Let me talk to Lisa, tomorrow is her wedding..
Have you invited any of your friends yet? Tomorow is your wedding.. I asked her.
I invited my colleagues and few friends.
Lisa, you can still decline this, you’re already crying… we’re strangers and you know it.
I want my father alive Andre… you’ve paid everything already..
We’re getting married in church tomorrow.. go pick up your gown and change your hair today… get your stuffs ready, you’re moving in with me. See you tomorrow in church Lisa.
I went back home, drinking alcohol again and thinking, I got a call from my doctor and was told to visit the hospital in the morning..
Tomorrow is my wedding doc.
Andre you need to come for check up, your illness is a deadly one you have to be monitored henceforth, if it gets to the last stage then it is finished except a miracle happens.
Can i come after my wedding?
No.. before your wedding.. how are you feeling?
Weak.. very weak..
I’ll come to your house in the morning then..
Thank you doc.. goodnight.
I couldn’t eat neither could I sleep.. I wasn’t thinking of anyone I was thinking of what will actually happen if I die, well, everyone will mourn and resume their normal duties.
By 4am the next day my system began to shut down, it’s my wedding day and I should be preparing to go to church, I managed to Call my doctor, he came and told me to rest, he brought another drugs for me and helped me with few things. Before he left
I got a call from Lisa by 8am.
Andre, we’re in church and we’re waiting for you please come.
I need an hour Lisa, I’ll be there shortly.
Andre this is not a joke.
I am not joking either.. tel the priest or the pastor to wait for me.
I got hold of myself managed to get up had my shower and got dressed.. I couldn’t drive so I orderd a ride to the church.
I got to the church by 11am…
I’m sorry I am late, I had an emergency. My mother understood.
I walked down to where Lisa sat and apologized to her.
This is the second time I am seeing you cry 😢 can you stop this? I said
Why are you coming late? She asked.
I’m sorry..I already apologized to the entire church..
There are lots of guest here. You did a great job lisa
The pastor called us to the alter and we made our vows.
We exchanged our rings…
It got to the part I was scared of “ you may now kiss your bride””.
I unveiled her 👰 and gave her a soft kiss on her lips..
If this is the kiss you were going to give then you shouldn’t have kissed me at all. She said.
I ignored and faced the congregation, they prayed, I smiled cause I know prayer doesn’t work…
We signed our marriage certificate… I started feeling somehow, I couldn’t wait for more hours I had to beg them to rush everything.
We had a little reception before I took her home.. I told my mother and her mother to unwrap the gift items and bring them home the next day..
We got home and the first thing I did was to secretly take my drugs.
I got hold of myself and met Lisa sitting on the couch.
Why were you in a hurry Andre?
I needed to use the bathroom.
You came late and the wedding was a brief one.
Lisa, I was pressed and I hate using public toilets.. where are your stuffs?
My mother will bring them tomorrow..
Okay, come let me show you around your new home now..
This is our room, we’ll be sleeping on same bed, if you’re not comfortable you can make use of any of the guest room or you sleep in the sitting room..
That’s the kitchen, washing machine and others.
I’m a private person Lisa.. don’t touch my stuffs..
I won’t, I promise to be a good wife till we get a divorce..
As you wish Lisa.. go change your wedding dress, happy married life to you..
And stop crying Lisa, you’ve made your choice..
I can’t wait for next week Andre.. my father will be free..
And you’ll be free too..
Episode 5
You’ve been drinking since we arrived home Andre, isn’t it too much?
You noticed cause you’ve been watching me since we came.. I’ll be in my room.. There’s food in the kitchen just in case you’re hungry..
It was around 7pm on my wedding night when I noticed Lisa left the house, I tried reaching her but her number wasn’t connecting, I had to wait for her return..
She finally came back by past 11pm, I was already sleeping when she called, I got up and opened the door for her…
What are you coming home by this time and where have you been? I asked
I went to take my luggage from my home.
But you told me your mother will bring them in, do you know what time is it?? Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving?
I’m sorry Andre…I needed to change my wears..
I’ve told you before Lisa, I am not forcing you into this, you are in my house and you have to respect me okay…? What if something happens to you, your parents will come here and arrest me or accuse me of putting you in harms way? Lisa it is dangerous to walk around by this time of the night.
No calls from you, I tried reaching you, do you know how it made me feel? You’re lucky I’m not suffering from a heart attack.
Okay.. I’m sorry Andre.. I made a mistake, I should have told you before leaving..
You shouldn’t have left in the first place, your mother was supposed to bring them in tomorrow…you’re playing with me Lisa..
Andre for goodness sake it is okay, I’ve apologized what else do you want me to do??
Your apologies ain’t enough.
What? Sincerely speaking you owe me and my entire family an apology for arriving late at our wedding and ending the reception soo soon, do you think I believed you when you told me you needed to use the restroom?
You made a fool out of me and my entire family, why? Because we need your mothers help… here you’re telling me about keeping to time and doing your bidding. As what please? My husband?
You couldn’t wait for me to say goodbye to my family and my friends …
Is that why you left my house without my notice? You went back to say goodbye to your family and friends? Was that What you couldn’t tell me? It is very simple Lisa..
Our parents will be coming tomorrow and you’ll get to see them.. my mother connected us together but I married you.. act mature for once in your life.
I wish you knew. But you don’t know anything.. I’ll not repeat myself Lisa, do not leave this house without my consent and my permission.. the day you do and come back by this time is the day you’ll remain wherever you are..
I wish my dads already out, I would have gone back right now after listening to what you just said.. I thought we’re going to be a great couple like we’re supposed to , pretend about this whole thing till we figure out what we really want but I was wrong Andre
I am not going to pretend, we’re not figuring anything out.
Have you been drinking Andre? You smell soo bad, you should stop drinking.
You already know I drink. And hey! Don’t advice me.. advice your self.
I’m off to bed… I wanted you to sleep with me in my room for the first day but I just changed my mind.
I never wanted to sleep on same bed with you, I came prepared..
Staying here and arguing with you is totally not worth it… I’ve already made my point..
I’m not your child Andre, be careful of the way you say some certain words to me.
Remind Lisa.. what is the main reason you married me again?
To get my father out.
What else? I asked.
To give your mother grandchildren too, but that’s not gonna work I am not a baby factory.
I wanted you to be specific because if you’re here for the children aspect get your mind off it, for your own good..
Your father wil be out in no time and I demand some respect from you..
It’s the first night of our wedding and we’re already having issues…
I am tired.. I want to sleep, make sure you wake up early, we’re having visitors in the morning.. goodnight Lisa..
I went to my room,opened my fridge and eat some snacks 🍫 I took my drugs, lay in my bed and beg for sleep to come. I needed to rest from the days activities. Lisa is already giving me trouble..
As early as 4am I heard a knock on my door, it’s Lisa. She said.
I go up and opened the door for her wondering what she wanted by that time..
What is it Lisa?
I wanna use the bathroom and I am not comfortable on the couch. 🛋
What about the other rooms? I asked
Still not comfortable there, your bed is nice and this is where I want to sleep after taking my shower.
I thought you came prepared..
Yeah.. my comfort first Andre..
It’s okay, you can have my room.. it’s morning already.
She had her bath and got dressed in her nightware..
She lay close to me, and slept off like a child who got tired from playing at noon..
I slept off too..
I woke up before her by 8am, I had breakfast and took my medicine, taking my medication in secret is a whole lot, it isn’t easy sneaking out to take drugs,,, i am being extremely careful for Lisa not to find out..
I checked my time and it was 10am already, Lisa was still sleeping, I woke her up.
Andre, what is it? She yawned.
My mother is coming and your mother too, you’re supposed to prepare something for them to eat..
And one more thing Lisa, let’s pretend to be one happy couple when our parents come
And what happens when they leave?
We live our normal lives till your father is out..
She got up, and went to the kitchen, while preparing breakfast my mother came in ..
Lisa, book a ride for your mother, you can’t direct her she may not be able to locate my house.. I told her..
Minutes later she came with the gifts from the wedding we had.
Even as it was an emergency wedding we got lots of gifts.. 🎁
I noticed a baby cot, baby set bath, set of cream for a baby and baby clothes..most of the gift items are specifically for a baby..
I gues we’re visiting the orphanage home soon.
Why? My mother asked.
These gift items are meant to be given away.
Which one? Lisa asked.
The baby items.. I don’t want a child..
That’s the reason you married Lisa.. my mum said
Let’s not argue about it, keep them in the visitors room Lisa, take the rest to our room.
You already share same bed? Lisa’s mother asked
Yea ma’am..
Her mother couldn’t say much, she only told me not to be hard on Lisa..
I won’t be hard on Lisa if she behaves well.
We’ll be going to court in three days time to get my husband released from prison, so far so good your mother Mrs Owen is doing a good job..
Lisa, how has it been soo far? My mother asked.
It’s been great so far. Andre is calm, he’s nice too.
If you need someone to talk to you can always call me Lisa, my home is always open to accept you anytime..you’re my daughter now
Thank you ma..
Let me talk you for a minute outside.
My mother took Lisa outside leaving me and her mother alone in the sitting room.
Andre, I want you to take good care of my daughter Lisa, I know it’s not easy for you and sometimes you may be angry cause of your condition but please don’t pass aggression to my daughter.. Lisa doesn’t deserve this.
Mrs Judith, are you telling me this cause you know I have cancer? Does having cancer make me a bad or an aggressive person? Have I treated your daughter bad in any way? Lisa doesn’t deserve someone like me…
Andre, Lisa doesn’t know about this.
She doesn’t know cause you and my mother choose to keep it a secret, making me take my drugs In any hiding place I see..
Andre, my daughter is important to me, you don’t deserve her, I never wished for my daughter to become a widow..
I feel bad already Mrs Judith, you’re already wishing me death.. let’s end this conversation.
My mother and Lisa were still talking outside.
Andre is my son and he is a very sweet boy, did he touch you last night?
Noo..
Why? You should get close to him, use your woman power to get him to yourself, the main reason I married you to Andre is to give him and I a child Lisa.. please do not delay in getting pregnant for Andre..
Lisa…. You’re not saying anything..
I have nothing to say Mrs Owen.. I think I should go be with my mother..
Lisa, help me.. I am not getting younger..
I’ll be inside Mrs Owen..
Lisa left my mother..
They left in the evening..
I confronted Lisa.
What did my mother tell when you went outside with her?
Nothing Andre, she was just telling me to be a good wife to you.
I already know what she said..
You do?
Yeah, and don’t think about it. It’s a No for me.
It’s a No for me too Andre.
Then why did you lie?
Andre, I am not ready to start any argument with you again today.. I’m leaving for work tomorrow and I need to rest. This place is already hot for me..
Wait! Andre you felt I slept close to you for us to have s*x?
I never said that.
Then why are you hitting on it?
I am not hitting on it, whatever my mother told you it’s none of my business , I am only getting involved cause it concerns me..
One more thing.. I don’t think for now I want any family members to visit us..
Why Andre?
I already told my mother to notify me whenever she wants to come..
We just got married yesterday and your mother is telling me and lecturing me on how to treat you..
She’s scared and she’s only trying to look out for me.
Lisa… pass my message to her… no more visitors.
I’ve already had enough advice today..
Andre..what’s eating you up?
Nothing is eating me up, I am fine..
You don’t look fine to me..
I need some time alone in my room Lisa..
I went to my room, I reflected on what Lisa’s mum told me, everything she said made me sad.. reminding me of my fate wasn’t good..
