chapter 8

"So make sure you tell your wife to drink the mixture when you get home! I don't want to hear stories that touches! This pregnancy must stay o!" Mama repeated to her son who looked uncomfortable wondering if he should break the news to his mother or not.

"Ehm... mama, Oma had a miscarriage last week." He finally let out.

"Ehn! And why are you just telling me?! Oh, you want to become those men that believes that their mother shouldn't know everything that goes on in his marriage, Ehn?! After everything I did for you before you could reach the level you are today?! Oko mi, don't I deserve a grandchild already. You've been married for three years and within that period, Ifeoma have had three miscarriages, now four! Are you sure that girl does not belong to a marine kingdom? She Kuku looks like a mermaid." Mama complained.

"God's time is the best, mama!" Fikayo said.

"God's time for her have passed o! She just keeps killing it as soon as you put it in. That girl is an ogbanje!" Mama exclaimed.

"What exactly are you now trying to drive at with all your pep talks mama? What am I supposed to do about it?" Fikayo questioned confused.

"I don't care how you do it but I think it's time o!" Mama said in a coded way.

"Time for what now? Don't even go there, mama. I'm too young to have two wives, do you want me to die before my time?"

"Then send her packing! She's utterly useless!" Mama snapped.

"I can never do that, mama. I love Oma and I can't imagine living without her in my life. Oma is my life."

"Yen yen yen yen yen! Eh! Ifeoma has cooked efo(vegetable) for my son o! She has turned you to ode(dummy) for me! If Oma is your life, please, me nko?! Ehn! Wonders shall never end! Oma is my life, orisirisi(wonders)!" Mama exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.

"You shouldn't be jealous of your daughter, mama! Oma is your daughter too."

"Daughter nibo(where)? I don't have a daughter o, I know how many children that I gave birth to and Ifeoma is not one of them, she has her own mother!"

"Mama, I've had enough of your silly tantrums. You've been so hostile to Oma ever since I married her and I always overlook it but I'll not allow you to do this one, no way. How do you think she's feeling now, she just lost a baby! She's the one who's even more hurt and she needs to be left alone not terrorized. I think I'll take my leave now, meanwhile, the drink is no longer needed. Goodbye." Fikayo snapped as he went out of his mother's two bedroom apartment.

"So I'm now silly, ehn, Akanni?! I will not allow that woman to turn you into an unfortunate man! Whether she leaves or not, another woman is coming into your house" Mama shouted even though Fikayo had already zoomed out of the compound.

She rushed into her room to take her phone, she dialed a number and spoke into the phone speaker, "Hello, my dear... No, all is well jare. I just want to tell you to come to my house tomorrow with some of your luggage.... Yes... it's time to claim your husband too... No... don't worry... I'll settle that... okay dear. Till then... thank you... Bye"

"We shall see whose want will come to pass now." She said to herself after hanging up.🕯🕯🕯
