Darling what is it, please talk to me,you are making me scared,why are you like this,mother was asking concerned….
I have been sacked, relieved of my job,me,Efosa,told that my services were no longer needed,just like that,father said almost teary……
Oh that, so sorry. mother said and took the things we brought inside. Father looked at her in shock. Imade, is that all you are going to say.are you not concerned that I have been relieved of my job?, what kind of a wife are you? why are you so useless.
Other women would have sat down beside their husband sorrowfully,encouraging him not to be discouraged and praying that God should make a provision for another job. But see the one I call my wife, oh that, sorry oh. was all you could say.father said…..
Efosa, please I had a very busy day at the shop, I am tired and I need to rest.I am not the reason you lost your job, so please do not pour out your frustration on me, mother said gently and was about going inside the bedroom when father held her by the hand..
Imade, where do you think you are going, no no no where do you think you are going?are you this wicked and inconsiderate,father said in anger.
Efosa, please let me go, when you had your job of what use was it to me and my children? now that you have lost it you expect me to what? cry and be sorrowful.
I mean what do you expect I do,for all I care you never really had a job.because if you had a job I would have been getting money from you for upkeep, feeding, clothes,your children’s fees and every other manly responsibilities that you are failing,to me you have never had a job. so whether you got a job or you lose it, it has absolutely nothing on me.please Efosa take your hands off me and allow me go in and rest.
Mother said and kindly removed father’s hand from hers and then walked inside.He stood in shock looking at her as she walked in…..
It was the Sunday that father had promised the landlord. we had returned from church and was having lunch with mother,when father walked up to her,Imade,,, I hope you know today is Sunday? father asked mother…
Yes I do and I and the kids are back from church mother replied.
Imade, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. father said is suppressed anger.
Darling, you asked if I knew today is Sunday and I said yes, as a matter of fact I and the kids had gone to church and have returned, I don’t know whatever thing you are saying.mother said.
Imade, can you stop with the sarcasm, I know you know I am trying to tell you that today is the Sunday that I promise the landlord that we are going to pay him his rent father said in anger.
Oh is that what you are trying to say, I honestly didn’t know oh. really so today is the Sunday that you will be paying the rent? okay are you leaving now,my regards to him when you get there mother said…
What kind of stupid and expensive joke is that? you know I no longer have a job,how do you expect me to pay the rent for God’s sake imade.father asked angrily..
Darling I don’t understand all these, I was on my own with the kids eating, when you walked up to me to tell me today is the Sunday you promised the landlord that you were going to get his rent and I sent my regards to the landlord when you get there, what have I said now that is making you angry. Mother asked pretending not to know where father was headed…
Imade, stop making me look stupid especially in front of my kids, give me the money so I could go pay the landlord father said.
Which money are you talking about mother asked surprised….
Imade give me 60,000 naira so I could go give the landlord for the 6 months rent we are owing, father said.
Efosa, from where do you expect me to get such amount of money,, you just lost your job so that should not be an excuse for you not to pay the rent, I mean all the money you have been working and saving that you have not been giving me should be somewhere, so take from there and sort the rent.as for me I do not have a penny to give to you for rent. Mother said and went inside leaving the food with my brother and I. father followed her and we could hear their voices inside,it was a heated argument from the bedroom.
A few hours later, grandma walked in.it was Father who had called her ,we were all happy to see her. we greeted her cheerfully with smiles…
After the exchange of pleasantries Grandma called mother to be seated in the living room.
Imade, my son called me telling me the situation of things on ground, I had to rush down here. What kind of a woman are you?, the Bible says a wise woman builds her home, why do you want to destroy yours with your own hands, grandma Started and this left mother confused and perplexed.
Iye, I don’t understand what you saying,what have I done mother asked calmly.
oh stop the pretence imade,you know my son lost his job don’t you,she asked mother,who nodded her head affirmatively…
He begged you to pay the rent but you refused. so you want the landlord to come here and embarrass my son because of how much 60,000 naira that you can easily afford.I mean you do business and I hear you make good profit from sales. so what’s stopping you from supporting your husband, do you know that the Bible says as a woman you are your husband help mate,so why are you refusing to help your husband even when you know you can do it. what kind of a wife are you? what kind of a woman are you? what kind of a mother are you?. Grandma asked mother rhetorical questions….
Iye, you are a woman like me and also a mother, I expected that you’d ask me what the problem is, but it seems like you have taken side with your son already,mother said calmly…
Imade are you all right, how dare you speak to my mother like that.Father asked in anger…
No no no no no don’t worry son I will hear her side. Imade what do you have to say.grandma asked mother…….
Iye, I know my roles,I know my duties as a mother and a wife and God in heaven knows I have diligently carried out these duties responsibly….
I am glad you said I am a helpmate,yes I am an helper, an helper,that means I’m to assist my husband and not carry out his duty from A to Z, yes he said he lost his job that was about two or three days ago.ask him the last time he gave me money for upkeep for the kids and I even when he had the said job,iye,ask him the last time he paid the children’s fees, ask him the last time he bought clothes for his children,ask him the last time he bought shoes, books and other writing materials for his children. your son has been working for years but he has never taken responsibilities for his children and I.this business I am doing that you heard I make money from,ask him if he knows how I got the money to start up. I am responsible for the feeding of the children and him,for two terms my children did not go to school and your son was not concerned.I know how much I spent registering them in school, and now you come here to tell me about being a virtuous woman all because I refuse to pay the rest.with all due respect iye,I will never pay the rents for Efosa whether he has a job or not. let him tell us Right here and now what he has been doing with his salaries, mother said trying so hard to suppress her anger.
Imade, and so what, and so what, what have you done that has never been heard before? are you the first woman to assist her husband in paying fees? are you the first woman imade. would you rather the landlord come and throw you all out on the Streets? pay up the rent, it is what a good woman would do.all these you are saying are past glories, you should do the one at hand if you want to be appreciated grandmother said….
Mother looked at her, I knew they were so much she wanted to say to her but somehow she managed to stay calm and didn’t alter any word.
Grandma stayed for sometime talked talked talked and talked then she was on her way home and father saw her off.
Father came back and was laughing,so you have done what no one has done, narrating to my mother how you have been taking care of the bills. didn’t you hear her,that so many women are there that takes full responsibility of their home’s responsibility, yet,they live peacefully with their husbands.so my dear tomorrow do well to give me the money so I can pay the landlord, father said smiling sheepishly has he walks inside smiling…..
Mother looked at him,shook her head and went on with what she was doing..
On Wednesday early morning of that week ,the landlord arrived our house with a man that was neatly dressed in suits. father was handed a letter asking us to evacuate the house with immediate effect.we were threatened that the next time they’d come, they were going to seize our properties and valuables and then they left immediately as they had come….
You see, this is what happens when one has a wicked and heartless woman for a wife. I believe you will be happy by the time we are thrown out of the house but I promise you I would not be disgraced, I would not be disgraced Imade, father said as he went inside. mother did not utter a word …
My ninth birthday came in two days,and mother made a small cake for me,I was very happy,it was my first birthday cake…
We returned home from the shop in about a week’s time one evening,and met our door opened…
We were scared that someone must have broken into our house,the chairs were gone,the freezer,the tv and every other valuables, father’s clothes and shoes were gone too.
Only Sammy’s clothes,mine and mother’s were in the house…
Mother ran out raising alarm that we had been robbed trying to call father, while other tenants ran out…
We have been robbed oh,our properties are gone,mother explained to them….
“Who rob una,no be your husband bring motor pack the things wey he wan pack commote,we ask arm,he say una dey pack,him say if you and the children come una go come join arm,mama Jane, explained in pigin, wait oh,mama Adesuwa,you no know,she asked mother supprised”
All of a sudden, I guess the earth started spinning in mother’s eyes,and her foot couldn’t carry her anymore,then she fell to the ground.
