MY WORLD
Chapter 4
……As we walked out of the office,my wife became very dull and unhappy,what is it honey,I had asked her,, honey,what if I am the problem,what if I won’t be able to give you and mama children,what if I have a problem,are you going to send me out of your house, what ifffff,she kept asking, honey, enough with the what ifs,you are my wife and MY WORLD,and I love you dearly,stop been persimistic,do not allow the devil into your heart,you are going to be fruitful, and give us beautiful babies in God’s own time.i encouraged her.
But mama,mama would never allow me have peace untill I give you kids,she said,honey please,drop the topic,we have done our part,it time for God to take charge,let’s go have dinner out.i took her to her favourite restaurant and ordered her favorite meal,even her favourite wine,just to put smiles on her face, thankfully I succeeded.
We ate and went for some cite seeing before heading home.
Reaching home,mama was at the setting room,I wondered why she wasn’t asleep, we had purposely returned late so she could be asleep by the time we returned.
Mama goodevening,we greeted.Omomi welcome home,Tobi,what did the doctor say is wrong with you,will you be able to give us children,is your womb still intact,are youuu, mama,I had to interrupt her.stop all these,allow my wife some peace and quiet in her own home, for heaven’s sake…
Which home?,Temi,which home?,answer me,let me tell you,this is only a house,babies makes it a home, they ought to be a baby boy or girl crying or laughing, crawling or walking round this house.they make it home…. mama said.
I looked at her,not knowing the exact words to tell her that won’t sound like an insult.i held my wife’s hand, and we went to our room.thank God we had eaten out,we had our bath and went to ?? bed.
I woke up at about 1 am to answer the call of nature,when I saw my wife walking round the bedroom, apparently she didn’t sleep,what is it honey, why aren’t you sleeping ,I had asked her after returning from the restroom.i can’t sleep,she had said,you can’t sleep or you are too worried to sleep?,I hugged her tightly.
Honey please don’t do this to yourself,I wouldn’t want you fallen sick,please,I was able to put her to sleep.the next morning, mama called her to inform her to get herself ready, that she would be taking her to a herbal doctor..you see iya Bose is the best herbal doctor in our place,we are going to see her,so that she could give you something that would help, mama said,mama my wife will go no where, neither would she see any herbal whatever,for heaven’s sake the result isn’t out yet,we shall know what’s wrong and how to go about it.stop all these mama,I shouted.
It was about five days later,I was at the office,when the doctor called me that our result were out,,I told him I wouldn’t be able to come get them,as I was still at the office,and my wife home,I however told him,we shall be coming the next day.
Getting home,I told My wife all the doctor said,and that we shall be going to collect our results the next day,her cantenance immediately changed,she became worried,at night she prayed like she had never did,I joined her, in prayers,I have always believe in God,we had quality time with God that night.
By day break,we were ready to go see the doctor, coming out to the seating room,we saw mama well dressed,we greeted her.mama are you going somewhere, you seems to be dressed this morning.i asked.omomi,I heard you telling your wife last night that the result would be out today,so I just felt I should follow you people, follow us,why,how, mama please it’s too early for this.i held my wife’s hand and took her to the car,and then drove off…
We arrived at the hospital,and we were made to wait for the doctor, after waiting for about 10-15minutes,the doctor joined us.
Good day Mr and Mrs Temitope,your results are out,he handed it over to us,we opened them,and of course we didn’t understand a thing.doctor,you don’t expect us to understand these ,do you?,so please explain to us in simple and plain English.okay Mr Temi,your wife is perfectly okay, she’s very fertile,you on the other hand ,am afraid you are not,my wife made a big exhale,like a burden has been lifted off her shoulders.
Doctor what’s wrong with my husband,and will he be okay, Tobi asked,he has “undescended Testicles” it may take days,months or years,all we need is prayers and proper medications.the doctor said..thank you doctor,she replied, I was too weak to know what to say,I was kind of happy that my wife will be free from Mama’s stress,but never in my wildest imagination did I think I could have infertility issue.
We went to the car,and drove home in silence…..
