COMPULSORY MARRIAGE: Episodes 11 – 22(The End)

Episode 14

I later drove mummy back home and went back to my house. As much as i tried to forget about what happened, the thought of Biola will never let me….all my thought and mind was seriously with her. When i couldn’t take it again, i had to find my way to her office the following Tuesday. As i don’t want to cause scene at her office, i went there around closing hour and stayed somewhere close to her office until around past six when she came out with one of her colleagues…..That one left her just as they were on the road and she was standing all alone apparently looking for a bike to the bus stop. I walked up straight to her

Me: Good Evening Biola

Biola: Eh…eh..eh..see who we have here, oko iyawo elepon blue, eku ipalemo oooo

Me: Ipalemo kiniyen

Biola: Ipalemo Kinla…….haven’t you gone to see your inlaw? And your wedding date is 23rd of November

Me: (Confused)…who told you all this Biola?

Biola: Who will tell me if not your wife…congratulations in advance but i know God will judge both of us

Me: Please am very sorry Biola…can you please give me just 10mins of your time for us to talk things through.

Biola: What is it for us to talk about again? That your wife to be is pregnant? That your wedding is coming up in six weeks time? That you were having affairs with two ladies at the same time, in the same house, under the same roof and deceiving one of them? Please i don’t have time for your talk again as there is nothing to talk about again

Me: Please Biola, just give me 10mins baby…even if you won’t give me another one again in life…just lets sit somewhere to talk through this and i will never disturb you again

Biola: I don’t have the time again….that belongs to the past..i don’t even know why am standing here talking to you…..

“she decided to walk away and i knelt down on the road holding her leg”

Me: Please Biola…just this last request…am very sorry

Biola: You are embarrassing me Ola…this is a busy main road for crying out loud

“Sister please tell him yes now”……….said a passer by who didn’t even know what was happening but apparently saw my face

Biola: you are embarrassing me..please let me go and stand up abeg

Me: Until you decide to follow me Biola

Biola: i will shout thief on you oooo and you know the implication of mob around here

Me: And i will be happy dying knowing fully well that i died seeking for your forgiveness

Biola: I said you are forgiven already, so stand up

Me: Until you follow me to our usual relaxation pub and give me just 10mins of your time….

Biola: Please now Ola….Please stand up..stop embarrassing me, this is my office environment, my colleagues will be passing through here soon.

Me: I don’t care…please

Biola: Ohk..what do you want

Me: Just 10mins of your time Biola

Biola: And after that?

Me: You can decide and i will never disturb you again………..

Biola: Ohk…lets go

I was a bit happy that at least i was able to convince her to follow me and she entered my car for the first time ever since the incident happened. We got to our usual spot and located a silent area around the place to settle in

Me: What do you care for Biola

Biola: Nothing…your 10mins start now and i will leave this place at exactly 10mins from now and dont think you can do any stunt to hold me down

Me: ohk…….Please Biola, am very sorry for all i made you went through …it wasn’t intentional and i never believe things will come out this way. I know i fumbled, i tried to play game which boomerang but i never plan it this way….

Biola: same old story…7mins more

Me: I know i played on your intelligence but have you ever thought of the fact that Mary played the fast one on both of us….she played on our intelligence just to achieve her aim, she sees a comfortable place and wanted to reap from where she did not sow….Both of us have been together since i was nothing..we build our lives together up to this stage of our comfortability and a lady is coming from nowhere just to reap from where she didn’t sow.

You want to let go all what you have laboured for? Just like that? I know i fumbled but i still love you and i will always do…if there is one thing i learnt about life from you is to always fight for what i believe in, is to always fight for what i want in life….you have always told me am the best thing that ever happened to you in life…so, you want to let it go like that? For me you are my happiness and am ready to fight for you..you are the one i truly love, you are the one i truly want to spend the rest of my life with..you are my everything Biola, i cant let you go just like that, i cant baby, please forgive me baby.

Fine, initially all i wanted to do with Mary was just to hit her and run away but how do i explain that you showed up in my house and she played along telling you she was my cousin? Remember i tried all i could to chase her out but you always defended her? How do you explain her playing on our intelligence in the house? How do you explain her working on our weakness in other to separate us? How do you explain that she was the first to tell you all the stories immediately you caught us? How do we explain the fact that she was the person texting you of my visit to their house for the first time? How come she was the one that told you of the wedding date?

The bottom line is that she wants our separation, she wants you out of my life..all she wanted from the first day she entered my life was to push away whoever she met there knowing fully that i might not love her…I know i fumbled by bringing her to the house but you are also helping her to achieve her aim. Baby, Mary is a devil that i can’t fight alone, this is our trying time and i want us to fight this battle together. Am very sorry for everything but i believe we can sort things out, i believe we can be happy again, i believe we are meant to be together for life..dont let us allow this devil to destroy us. I accept the fact that i brought home the devil but i need you to believe in me to fight this devil and together we can achieve our dream

Biola: uhmmmmm……….so, what do you want me to do? What do you want from me?

Me: I want you by my side to fight this battle

Biola: Its your problem and you have to face it yourself….its non of my business Ola

Me: I know its my mess and I will be ready to clean it up and everything will return back to normal

Biola: Everything return back to normal like how? To be your second wife or what?

Me: No baby, my plan is that am not doing any wedding with her..am not disputing the fact that the pregnancy might be mine but its not compulsory I marry her…she should have the baby and I will accept, then she can go her own way afterwards

Biola: Then what will happen to me?

Me: We continue from where we stopped before I started this mess

“total silence from Biola”

Me: Pls baby..just try and trust me on this one..things will surely be better and we will return back to our normal happy life baby

Biola: When will that be?

Me: It starts from now baby and I promise never to disappoint you again baby

Biola: And you think this will work out

Me: Yes baby…all I needed is your trust baby…please am begging you baby

Biola: Sincerely I don’t know how this will work out

Me: Please I don’t want you to get involve….its my sh!t so please I will clean it up baby

Biola: Ohk ooooo

Me: Thank so much baby…Life has not been the same thing ever since this s–t started

Biola: And how do you think I have been coping

Me: You mean the world to me baby…I feel so empty ever since, I had to put in for my annual leave prematurely

Biola: I never stop thinking about what happened too…I nearly run mad for the early days it happened

Me: It will be over soon baby I promise

Biola: I hope so

Me: I love you so much baby

Biola: I never stop loving you too Ola

Me: Thanks so much for giving me this chance baby

Biola: You are welcome

Me: How has life been generally

Biola: You know how it has been so don’t ask me jare…..Ajala talo na

Me: I know baby..am very sorry dear

I was so happy that at least Biola was able to give me second chance..our 10mins lasted for more than 3 hours and I had to go drop her at home around 10pm.
