I got this mail Immediately i checked my mail box and according to the date on it, it was sent in last weekend. as i read through this mail, i kept wondering what this life have become. i must apologies to the sender for not posting this up on time. read through;
My name is chioma I'm in my early 30's, it is with a
grieved heart that I had to write this mail. I have been married to my husband
for almost two years and God is yet to bless me with the fruit of the womb, I
have been worried about this but my husband and his people said I shouldn't
disturb my self that it’s not God’s time yet. we have been living very happily until 2 months back when my younger sister, our last born came back from school due
to ASUU strike and decided to stay back here in Lagos with us. My parents are based in Enugu and my Younger
sister schools in Unilag, considering that nobody knows when the strike would
be called off, I told her to stay back in my house instead of going back to
Enugu.
Of late, I noticed
she is always tired and asleep most times I come back home, i called her to have
one on one talk with her since I barely stay at home considering the nature of
my job. She told me she’s ok that its symptoms of malaria so I told her we
would use the public holiday to go for check ups. On Saturday, the worst
happened! I over heard her telling her friend on phone that she’s pregnant and
very scared of going for an abortion since the drugs she’s been using didn't work on her. I waited until she ended the call, then I went into her room and
told her to dress up lets go to the hospital, she totally refused! at
this point, I became very furious being that I've been training her in school
and she can’t even confide in me to tell me what her problem is. I decided to
threaten her that I would throw her things out, that was when she dropped the
bomb, she told me to wait until my husband comes back to decide if she would go
or not! She quickly picked up her phone and called my husband to inform him of
what was happening, my husband immediately called my phone and told me to wait
until he comes back.
Same evening , I saw my husbands
family and my parent come in with him, I was wondering what the sudden visit was
for, they called a meeting and I sat there very furious, my husband then
started telling me how much he loves me and appreciates all I've done for him,
he then said he took an action I wasn't aware of, at this point, I still didn't
know the angle he was driving at until when he said, Chiyere Is pregnant for me
and I intend to do the necessary rites!
At this point, I felt like the world has
crumbled on me, tears were flowing down my eyes uncontrollably, this is the man
I gave my all for, I made him what he is today, I was there when he was
nothing, I single handedly did all the expenses for our wedding! Why would he
decide to pay me back this way, why would my sister and family have to betray me.
I left the house that Saturday
and have been at my friends place, I don’t know what to do, i am writing this
mail now because the only way I free my self from worries is to write. Many
questions have been coming to my mind, did I do the right thing my leaving my
matrimonial home? How long have there relationship been going on for my husband
to decide to marry my own sister! Is two years too much for my husband to wait
for a child? How long have my parent been aware of this!
