🙎 A Daughter’s Revenge EPISODE FORTY NINE:
PREVIOUSLY ON A DAUGHTER’S REVENGE:
…’I am afraid because anything that makes you have a vehicle of your own, then you will become ‘Baba for the Girls’..,’ Martha expressed her concern.
‘Baby stop saying that. You know you are the only one I have. You are my one and only…’
‘You are already a chronic womanizer even when you have no car, then what would happen when you finally have a vehicle?…’, Martha seriously expressed.
‘Baby please stop…’
‘I will not stop. You think I am not hearing how you flirt around with girls up and down? I am hearing everything. Just that I don’t have time for your nonsense yet. That’s why I have kept quiet all this while and you think I am a fool. But one day na one day, monkey go go market ehn no go come back. Every day, they say, is for the thief, one day is for the owner,’ Martha paused, laughing hysterically. ‘I hope you know what it means? I will explain: what it means is that you can cheat everyone sometimes but not all the time. It shows that no act of mischief can last forever without being exposed,’ she heaved a heavy breath before continuing: ‘I am telling you this for you to use your tongue and count your teeth. KC desists from cheating. People say you don’t know what you have got until it’s gone…but truth is, you knew what you had, you just thought you’d never lose it. But let me shock you: if you continue like this, then you’d find me one day, you will see me no more in your life again..’
THE CONTINUATION:
Kelechi had finally bought the vehicle.
As he was still able to convince Martha otherwise despite her initial fear of him turning into ‘Baba for the Girls’ if he finally had a car.
And Martha played the major role as she contributed about 80% of the money used to buy the vehicle.
They celebrated the new baby – vehicle – in a grandstyle. KC went clubbing with Martha for the first time that night. His friends also came to celebrate with them. It was a total shutdown in the club.
They partied: Dance. Drink. Smoke. Rejoiced.
When Martha could not cope with the clubbing anymore, she retired to their hotel room to catch some sleep.
That fateful night happened to be the second time Martha got herself very drunk. To the extent that KC was very surprised seeing Martha not just drinking but drinking to stupor.
‘Babe, I am surprise seeing you taking alcohol. Since when did you start drinking?,’ KC shouted into her ears amid surprise and noise.
‘It’s long. And this is my second time,’ Martha announced to the bewilderment of KC.
‘Who taught how to take alcohol?,’ KC had to ask again.
‘Linda. It all started at her place. The day you broke my heart that I ran to her for solace. Linda gave me alcohol and smoke so as to calm my head down,’ she paused, staggering amid drunkenness. ‘As a matter of fact, the effect of the alcohol and smoke I had that day caused the accident I had that fateful day..,‘Martha confessed.
KC was very shocked. He could not believe it. He stood perplexed staring at Martha from head to toes in a total surprise. The way he was looking at her it was as if she was a total stranger.
Moments later, he heaved a heavy breath ‘It’s not your fault. It’s all mine..’, he muttered.
‘Anyway, drink up. We are in the mood of celebration. But this will be your last time drinking alcohol. Do you understand me?,’ KC said.
‘Yes, sir,’ Martha screamed with a salute.
~~ON A SUNDAY ~~
That morning, Aunty Ifeoma had a visitor.
Thompson.
He just came back from Canada a few days ago.
Thompson happened to be a son and a cousin to Aunty Ifeoma.
Thompson was about to travel to the village the following day, so he decided to pay a visit to his foster mother.
‘…Thom, you have grown so big. How are you? What about people overseas?,’ Aunty Ifeoma asked, very excited to see him again after ten years.
‘Mama, Obi is now a man..you don’t expect him to remain a boy forever. Meanwhile, the overseas people are all fine,’ Thompson said, very excited and proudly.
Aunty Ifeoma happened to be the person that took care of Thompson when he was a baby.
Thompson was an orphan.
As his mother passed away during his birth. She gave birth to him out of wedlock and was rejected by the baby’s father.
In fact, If not for Aunty Ifeoma, Thompson would have been dead by now. As everybody abandoned him, calling him an evîl child. But Aunty Ifeoma went against all odds, accepted and took good care of Thompson as if he was her own child.
While growing up in the village, Thompson was subjected to stigma and mockery. People made caricatures of him. They called him so many derogatory names. To the extent that Aunty Ifeoma had to relocate to a far away village with him.
Fortunately, Aunty Ifeoma met her husband in that village. A very rich man. A businessman in Lagos State.
Even when Aunty Ifeoma got married, she took Thompson along with her to her husband’s house.
Thank goodness late Mr. Frank was a very understanding man. He gladly allowed her to bring him along. And he took Thompson as his son.
Meanwhile Aunty Ifeoma got married at an old age. Also, she married Mr. Frank as a second wife.
Mr. Frank had three children from his first wife. Aunty Ifeoma had none.
Mr. Frank married Aunty Ifeoma about six years after his first wife had passed away. By then, all his three children were already outside the country for their education and greener pastures respectively.
