CHAPTER 18: BACKGROUND

(ROSIE'S POV)

The thoughts of my sister's home and this that I just witnessed here at my office made me so sad and scared of what steps to take and have a place called home. A home of love, peace and Joy but my parents' marriage gave me more confidence that made me smile to myself that there are some good men out there too with a good home.

My sister was so unfortunate to have meant such a man. Her case was like this woman in agony right now because instead of her enjoying her marriage, she ended up enduring it.

Coming from a polygamous home was like hell on earth and has taught me a great lesson in life. My dad was so infatuated with my mum's beauty and good work. He loved us so much than his other family. I asked my dad when I was eighteen years of age, his reasons for having two wives then he said to me.

(DAD'S POV)

``hmmmm….. he sighed deeply. My daughter, I couldn't get a good wife at first' not until I met your mother. You can't define marriage now until you get into it. the home is the meaning of marriage itself. different couples have different meaning of marriage. this is based on their experience of being married.

does that means that, there are some people that are meant to be together, I thought to myself silently.

I have witnessed so many occasions whereby his first wife was abusing my dad. In fact, most dawn's are filled with quarrels and druckness. She is not as educated as my mum, thus making her children didn't gain much Education because the value of it was not known.

My mum worked with NEPA company that was officially privatised to TRANSCORP then as a cook in the canteen. She was awarded in 2013 as the best worker and With this, she was able to sponsor our Education with my dad. I could feel the love and happiness from my parents but with his first wife and children, we couldn't get enough.

**

I witnessed this scene one morning when my parents were laughing loud in their bedroom and I was so curious and happy at the same time seeing my parents living in a place called home. they were in oneness, unity and love. and finally, their room door was opened then I heard my mum's voice walking out of the passage; so I quickly stepped out of my room to approach her.

As the fourth child and being the closest to my parents, I asked my mum ' what makes you and daddy always laugh in your room'

(MUM'S POV)

Oh! My dear, you won't understand until you get to the stage she said to me truly.

I have seen my parents grow in love and happiness which encouraged me before death took my dad away from us. I was in so much pain knowing that I can't get to see him again and feeling the loneliness of my mum. she was courageous to sponsor me to a higher education in Delta state university where I studied Agricultural Science Education.

**

Oh! Least I forgot, I snapped out immediately out of the deep thoughts. My date with Jerry is getting close. I rounded up quickly at the office and moved to our meeting point.
