As Alice drove to her friend’s place,
she rehearsed what to tell her. How would she tell her friend that Mike,
her husband, had impregnated Peace, her maid again? This was the third
time she would be seeking her friend’s help in terminating the poor
teenager’s pregnancy! She made up her mind that this would be the last.
But Mary, her friend, disagreed with her
vehemently. “Alice, I cannot follow you to the clinic for another
abortion. What if she loses her womb or her life in the process? I think
it is high time something was done to your husband. He must stop
sleeping with your maids,” she said.
Alice felt humiliated by her friend’s
outburst. She sat on the chair and cried. Mike had always been a thorn
in her flesh! For almost 12 years of marriage, she could not point at
any good deed he had done in her life or the marriage. Her mind flashed
back to the last discussion she had with him at home:
“You are always complaining that I have
not done anything for you in this marriage. Don’t you have four
beautiful children? How many of your mates have four boys in their
marriages?”
“But Mike, I am not talking about the
children, I am referring to the vices you have wrought in this marriage
in the last 11 years. I am tired! You keep digressing to inanities when
serious issues are discussed. So, how do you explain the pregnancy Peace
is carrying?” Alice said accusingly.
“Pregnancy? Peace? Look here, woman, I
don’t have a clue of what you are insinuating and I have told you I
don’t want to have anything to do with either you or the stupid maids
you bring to this house,” Mike said and left the house in anger. Things
had always taken this pattern in their marriage!
She worked in a bank and had risen to a
managerial level. From the first year of their marriage, Alice had
always hired helps to mind the home, especially her children, who all
came in quick succession.
She had lost count of the number of
domestic helps her husband had slept with. Whether old or young, Mike
was a randy man, who slept with her maids.
Ruth, the first child minder she hired
after the birth of her firstborn, was a Ghanaian. Plump and pretty, the
middle aged nanny was hired through a colleague. Ruth was a single
mother and had come to Nigeria to fend for her four children. Initially,
Alice never suspected any foul play between the woman and her husband.
She was a very good nanny, who also helped with housekeeping and this
saved Alice a lot of stress. Before she returned from work, there was
food on the table and her baby would have been well taken care of.
Since her husband worked in the civil
service, he arrived home first and she was happy that he helped
supervise domestic staff especially the nanny. But after the birth of
Godson, their second child, Ruth insisted on leaving! Alice begged that
the nanny should wait and help nurture her baby because she was resuming
work in less than a month. Ruth did not budge but said she wanted to go
and stay with her children in Ghana.
When she resumed and lamented to her
colleague who brought Ruth to her, she was shocked to learn that Ruth
was not in Ghana but had rented an apartment in town. Alice got the
address and traced the house where the nanny lived. She wanted to beg
her to return to her home. It was a work day and she had closed early to
check on nanny Ruth. Was she shocked when she met Mike there? He laid
on the bed dressed in a pair of boxers! She didn’t utter a word but
left. Obviously, Mike rented the apartment for the nanny so that they
would have time for their escapade- her second baby would have posed a
hindrance.
If he apologised over Ruth’s case, he
never did on Uzo, the teenage girl she brought from the village.
Suddenly, she observed the flat chest of the girl was sprouting! Though
Uzo never got pregnant, the girl told Alice’s mother that ‘daddy is
always sleeping with me when auntie goes to work.’
She managed to get a crèche where she
put her children but when she was pregnant the third time, she could not
help but get another maid. This time, she was a 14-year-old from her
pastor. If Alice thought her husband would be scared of their pastor and
not come near the girl, she was wrong! In fact, Susan, the maid, was
the first teenager she took for an abortion! The girl agreed to
terminate the pregnancy after her mother collected over N100, 000 from
Alice. It was to seal the promise not to tell the pastor or anyone in
the church!
That marked the beginning of series of abortions she had for over five girls. But her husband kept denying his action.
“I still believe Peace should keep this pregnancy and have the baby,” she heard Mary said as she jolted to reality.
“Why should I keep a pregnancy Mike has denied paternity? What if she had slept with someone else?” Alice said.
“Both of us know your husband is
responsible. That girl was brought by my sister from Togo and I don’t
know what to tell her if anything happens to her,” Mary said. For Alice,
it seemed her world had come to an end.

I agree with Emex. Get a male househelp; since all your children are male, there would be no fear of the help pregnating any of your daughters. And with that, your husband won't be able to impregnate the help except he turns bisexual in which case you'd know it's from his village.
ReplyDeleteBring your husband's niece by all means. Let's see whether his erection will not pause. You knew or at least there were signs that your husband was randy before you married him. Either u clearly refused to believe or you were too much in a hurry. I've learnt something as a bachelor. The bad signs are always there, either u choose to consider or u choose to ignore. To have a God-fearing partner is the best gift you can have, no matter how long. Don't rush to marry because all your friends are married. Pray and ask your creator to provide your other half. The guy in this story did all that because the wife was an architect of Blood shedding. How then would she expect God to change her husband? She is probably the cause of her woes, because shedding of blood had become her profession. Bankers sef! Timmy.
ReplyDeleteMy friends, this event is fictional, it never happened, its just a story that should keep you busy.... I don't think a strong hearted woman will tolerate this
