👫💞 In The Name Of Love Episode Eight:
Mother turned to grandma, but she also looked away…
Mother sat on the floor,in pains and in tears.
The feeling of being rejected by ones own family I guess…
I talked to you as a mother would her child,but you wouldn’t listen,you allowed Efosa treated you like trash,how do you stay with someone who doesn’t respect you nor your family,a man who doesn’t want your progress,a man who sees nothing good in you, grandma asked mother….
Iye,I stayed back because of love, thinking and praying he’d change,mother said in tears…
Imade,,,,,,you can’t change a grown man,it’s is nearly impossible to change an adult who doesn’t want to be changed,grand ma said.
Iye,I was hoping that someday, somehow he would,i always stayed back because of my children,I didn’t want them growing up in a broken home,I didn’t want to be called a single mother,iye,I look at you as my role model,you have been with baba for over 32years and still with him,I didn’t want to be out of marriage, bringing shame to the family name for the second time,I didn’t want people to talk..mother said all tears.
My daughter, staying in an abusive and a loveless marriage because of your children is never the best option,you have a daughter, who’s watching every thing,you would make her grow up thinking that’s how a woman should be enslaved in marriage,and your son could become an abuser too, thinking that’s how to be a man,did you think of the psychological and emotional trauma you put the children having to watch their parents fights almost on daily basis?.
And you talk about your father and I been married for 32years,well 33 actually,we are not perfect,we have had our ups and downs,we have been through the bad,the terrible and the ugly,but we scaled through together, because we have one mind,I wouldn’t stay that long if your father treated me less a human,and people,my child, people would always talk, always,if you had left that bondage on your own and in time early enough,they would have talked,if Efosa had killed you while in it,they would have talked, even while you were in it taking all his excesses,they talked,now that you are out, they’d definitely talk, that’s the world we live in.
And finally,it’s better you are a single mother with your sanity in check,in good health and mindset, bringing up your beautiful children in a peaceful environment,than remain in a bitter and loveless place,all in the name of marriage,grand ma said…
I have known better iye,I feel so ashamed of myself, that despite all i went through in Efosa’s house,it ended up this way,mother said teary….
It’s well my child, it’s okay,grand ma went to her to console her…..
Few hours later grandpa was back…
What are you still doing in my house Imade,were you deaf when I said I didn’t want to see you by the time I am back?, grandfather shouted….
Mother went on her knees,baba,I know I have erred and disrespected you,I am deeply sorry, mother pleaded.i and Sammy joined mother on our knees pleading innocently…
Enemwem(my husband),our people say you don’t throw a child along with the bathing water,Imade is our daughter,our only daughter for that matter,I know she failed us, ignored and disrespected us,but she’s still our daughter,if we throw her out,who are we asking her to go and meet,she needs us now than ever before,we are a family, family go through storms and difficult times together,and come out victoriously.please my husband, forgive her, grandma was going on her knees,when grandpa quickly held her up…..
Please stand up my darling wife,my priceless grandchildren, get up,you are too innocent to be involved in all these, grandpa held Sammy and I up…..
Mother was alone on her knees in tears, while grandpa was looking at her on the floor,,,
After a few minutes,he took her up.
Imade,Imade,it broke me into a million pieces to see you suffer such hell in the hands of a man who has no respect for you nor your family, that wasn’t the life I wanted for my baby girl, I tried getting you out, saving you of the shame and ridicule, but you wouldn’t let me nor your mother,and that broke me even more,to know you turn your back on we your family for Efosa, your brothers were all disappointed,but in all my daughter,I haven’t stopped loving you as my child,and I haven’t stopped praying for you either,and am so glad you came back to me alive and in good health (by now some tear drops were rolling off baba’s cheeks and I was so surprised)and that you didn’t die in the hand of that monster.i am your father,you will always be my princess,this is your father’s house, and there’s always room for you, welcome back my child,grand pa said and hugged mother so tightly,it was an emotional time, grandma joined in the embrace,so did I and Sammy….
The next day,mother went home and packed our things to grandpa’s house.two days on,mother resumed her business,we weren’t done with school for the term,and even though grandpa’s house was far from the store,we were able to manage,grand father had a taxi that a man was driving on hire purchase, grandpa made sure the driver took us to the shop in the morning and brings us back in the evening, making the movement very easy for us….
It wasn’t easy for mother,I knew she was going through a lot,she really loved father,it only hurts that she was in love with the wrong person,she was trying so hard to heal,she was putting so much effort….
About two weeks on, rumors started getting to mother that father already had another woman in his life, though hadn’t married her legally,they were already living together,of course cohabitating, that seems to be all father could offer,and again,this broke mother’s heart who was still In her healing process.
One Saturday,, about a month since the whole situation,we were on holidays, Sammy was home with grandma,mother had asked me to stay back too,but I insisted I’d follow her,at least to assist her and the ladies..,yes,mother had two ladies working with her, business was indeed doing fine,she cooks good meals and was becoming very popular around.
You’re welcome, welcome ma,please sit,I could hear aunty mary attending to some customer,she came inside to get their orders..
about 15 minutes later, I then went out to see if there was anything,like dish washing I could assist with..
Getting outside,I couldn’t believe whom it was seated and eating.
