After many efforts, she gave birth,but she has complications,she kept bleeding for over three hours,Baba abiye was trying all he can to stop the blood, because it was too much for a normal delivery,Mrs Bhadmus walked in carrying the new baby with smiles on her, with a lady called Deola, “Aleeyah I congratulate you on your child delivery,you will reap the fruit of your labour in Jesus name,”Mrs Bhadmus kept praying till she introduced the strange lady,
Aleeyah, this is your husband’s new wife, while she is still bleeding,I think it’s better if you meet her now, Aleeyah couldn’t believe her ears,she thought probably she was hallucinating,her world suddenly became numb,she asked again “my husband’s what?” ,”wife” Mrs Bhadmus replied, that’s not possible Johnson would never do that to me,then Johnson walked in feeling ashamed kneeling to apologize to her, Aleeyah who could not believe her eyes, thought probably she is having afterbirth madness,she tapped herself on the vagina to feel the pains maybe it would bring her back to her senses, and she did felt pains,but it wasn’t from her vagina but from her heart,she felt her heart tearing apart,she started boiling in anger,she wanted to stand up, scream and lock Johnson’s shirt,she was pained.
Meanwhile she was still bleeding, and she attempted to curse Johnson, before Mrs Bhadmus place the baby on Aleeyah, saying don’t you know God has vindicated you,”olorun ti da e lare “you already have a male child for your husband,no matter what child the new wife give your husband,you will remain in command, and you have to be careful with whatever you say, Baba abiye added saying,yours won’t be the first and the last,you have to take heart,and the new wife will always be under you, because you have the upper hand in the house,you are the first wife, and you even gave your husband a heir.iyawo kneel before your senior wife,she is superior to you in all aspects, don’t ever try disrespecting her,Deola too quickly knelt down, and couldn’t look up, Aleeyah was dumbfounded,they even placed Deola hand on her hand, asking her to accept her,as her husband’s new wife,she looked at Johnson,but he looked away,he was ashamed
Looking at her new baby, sleeping peacefully made her speechless and helpless,she wanted to curse Johnson, but she couldn’t because she knows any curse she lay on Johnson at that moment would reflect on her kids,she couldn’t hold the pain,she felt so lonely,she cried and screamed for her mum,”Haaŕ maami oooooooooo, Johnson ti Fi ya jemi”, Mrs Bhadmus collected the baby from her telling her to take it easy,the new wife and Johnson was kneeling before her,She felt her heart tearing apart, and for a moment she found herself running after someone,it was her mother, she starts calling her, and she caught up with her,maami where have you been,did you see what Johnson did to me,I know you are back to fight for me,I missed you so much maami,her Mother replied I saw everything Johnson did to you, even the one you were not aware of,if I had my way I would take you with me my daughter,am not here to stay, or take you with me,but am here to make you return for your kids,who would take care of them like their mother,go back to them, “Mother I won’t go back without you,I don’t have my Johnson anymore and I can’t share him,it’s better you take me with you “,Aleeyah replied,you have to go,listen to that noise,it’s your son ,he is crying,he needs you,go back!go back!
There in the room Aleeyah is stretching, what’s happening to her uncle, mother look at her, everyone is looking at her, Baba abiye is putting somethings in her eyes and rubbing something on her feet, and chanting some incantations, Mrs Bhadmus is scared looking at Aleeyah,some minutes later she got cold and stiff, Baba realized she is gone,he tried hiding but it’s obvious they all realized she was gone,
am sorry it’s too late, Johnson screamed and Deola ran out in fear, Aleeyah you can’t do this to me,I can’t leave without you,I won’t marry Deola or anybody again, please come back to me, you don’t deserve to die,am sorry my love , please wake up,he keeps crying and screaming,Adunni mi wake up ,Mrs Bhadmus still in shock was shivering forgetting that she’s carrying a baby,she was holding the baby so tight that she almost choked the baby,the baby let out a loud cry ,as if it knew his mother is dead, then Mrs Bhadmus came back to her senses,she was crying and biting her fingers,the baby kept on crying, Johnson was sitting in a corner as if he has lost his memory,Deola is still outside pacing up and down, crying and confused, saying oh what should I do,what should I do……………..tbc
