After Johnson was released, Life became harder for selling water and drinks in traffic,still the income is not enough to cater for the family, plus the he was to pay Chief monthly, Aleeyah was also not getting much income from her business, most times she goes to collect food from her mother,the couples were getting frustrated daily, that Aleeyah almost thought of fornication to survive,
One day she went to collect food from her mother as usual, and she was telling her mum how things has been with her home,her mum took her to a cleric to do some prayers and consultation,on getting there the cleric made the consultation and told Aleeyah to bring her husband,for their next visit without her mother.
Aleeyah explained to Johnson on getting home, and he didn’t object because he was equally frustrated with life, and needs a solution,they visited the cleric and he did some prayers for them,he also ask them to pray and fast for some days, which they did, they kept visiting the cleric and he gives them somethings to use, and they did whatever he asks them to do,
After some month,Chief invited them to the station,they got scared and informed the cleric, and he told them to go that all will be well,on getting to the station,Chief said he is willing to let go of the stolen wrist watch,and he wants to nullify the signed undertaking, Aleeyah and Johnson were so happy, and they called the cleric and told him, and he still assures them that things will keep changing for good in their life.
A year later, Aleeyah got pregnant and she no longer hawks,she has a stall where she do cosmetics and pedicures for customers, Johnson also got a job at a car park,where he gets commission on any cars he sold,the was a day he made a profit of #50000,he was so happy that he couldn’t hold his joy,he rushed home to celebrate with his wife,he also bought her and their daughter some goodies.life has started smiling on them .
After some month, Aleeyah gave birth to a baby girl again, Johnson was not really happy because he wanted a boy,they named her Ayomide, Mrs Bhadmus started victimizing Aleeyah because she didn’t have a male child, telling her to get pregnant quickly and have a male child,in order to have a stand in Johnson’s house,
Aleeyah started working after Ayomide clocked 8 month,but her business is not doing well,she decided to change business and do something new,still it is not doing well, she tried four different business but it all went down the drain,she told her husband about it, but Johnson said he doesn’t see the need for her to work since he is earning enough to cater for her and the kids,so he waved it off,But Aleeyah was bother ,she didn’t want to be a liability to her husband,she wants to do something.
After trying several business, and she didn’t make something out of it, she stopped working, and she started having little fight with her husband,he comes home late, and sometimes he is acting suspicious, keeping girlfriends,but they would settle it, saying he didn’t have anything to do with them, after three years Aleeyah got pregnant, with hoping to have a boy, when she gave birth it was a girl again,she was really disturb, because she thought if she had a boy, Johnson won’t find any reason to cheat on her, since it’s a girl they named her Eniola, Although Johnson was not bother he kept on providing for the family.
After some years, Johnson decided to rent a more convenient apartment,a mini flat,so they moved in, Aleeyah was complaining of staying home and doing nothing,so Johnson got her a shop, and gave her lots of money to stock up,but the shop kept going down, Aleeyah kept complaining but Johnson never got tired,he gives her money to stock up no matter how many times it went down,it got to a stage that Aleeyah couldn’t ask Johnson for money to stock up, because she felt like she is just wasting his money,so she decided to leave the shop and focus on her family,she started planning on how to get pregnant for a male child, she kept trying for seven years but, she couldn’t get pregnant, during the year she lost her mum,she felt alone ,who would stand for her like her mum did,now she’s left with her siblings, and she is the fifth of six.
After the death of her mum,she continued with her life, and plan on the pregnancy, she visited different church and cleric in order to get pregnant, luckily for her she got pregnant, when it was due for her to give birth,there was no sign of labour,her pregnancy was about eleventh month, before she started having labour pains in the mid night, Johnson quickly rushed her to his uncle’s place who is a traditionalist,where she birthed all her kids,she was in labour for five hours,she was between life and death, eventually she delivered a baby boy she was so happy,and her husband also has a surprise in store for her…tbc
