As Naomi stewed in her thoughts, a sense of resolve began to form. She couldn’t let Ben’s betrayal go unaddressed. She needed to confront him, to make him understand the depth of her hurt and disappointment. Determined, she decided to visit Ben and lay out her feelings face-to-face.
The next day, Naomi went to Ben’s apartment. She knocked on the door with a firmness that mirrored her determination. Ben answered, surprised to see her. He had expected that all the women he had hurt would need time and space before speaking to him again.
“Naomi, I wasn’t expecting you,” Ben said, a mix of guilt and wariness in his voice.
“Ben, we need to talk,” Naomi said, pushing past him into the apartment. She didn’t wait for an invitation.
Ben closed the door and turned to face her, bracing himself. “I understand you’re upset, and you have every right to be. Iโ”
“No, Ben,” Naomi interrupted, her voice trembling with emotion. “You don’t understand. You can’t just say you’re sorry and expect everything to be okay. You don’t realize the impact of your actions. You made me believe in a future with you. I turned away other suitors, convinced that we had something special. And now, you tell me it was all a mistake?”
Ben sighed, rubbing his temples. “I know, Naomi. I made a terrible mistake, and I can’t change the past. But I thought being honest with you was the right thing to do.”
“Honesty?” Naomi scoffed. “You call this honesty? You were living a lie the whole time! How can I trust anything you say now?”
Ben looked at her, a mixture of sadness and frustration in his eyes. “I can’t change what happened, Naomi. All I can do is try to make things right moving forward. I understand if you hate me, but I couldn’t keep lying to you and the others.”
Naomi took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions inside her. “I don’t hate you, Ben. But I can’t just forget how you’ve hurt me. You need to understand the consequences of your actions. People don’t just get over something like this.”
Ben nodded slowly. “I understand, Naomi. If there’s anything I can do to help you move forward, I will.”
Naomi’s voice hardened. “The only thing I will accept from you is for you to marry both me and Ada. You need to marry two wives because you can’t just leave me like that. All the suitors who came to ask for my hand in marriage, I told them I already had a husband. Not knowing that you were planning something else. I can’t take this from you. You can’t just break my heart and live happily in your own house. No way. You must accept to marry me, or you’ll regret leaving me.”
Naomi continued, “Since I told my parents you are no longer interested in marrying me, they laughed and said they told me to marry one of the suitors coming my way. But I insisted I had someone who would marry me.”
Ben tried to reason with her. “Naomi, please understand. I don’t want to marry two wives. You can still find another husband who will love and take care of you.”
“Where will I find another husband now?” Naomi retorted. “I rejected all the ones who came because I believed you would marry me. Now look at what you’re telling me. I can’t accept this. Ben, are you marrying me or not? Tell me, I need to know.”
Ben took a deep breath. “I know it’s hard for you, but you need to accept it and move on with your life. I don’t want to marry two wives.”
Naomi’s eyes flashed with anger. “So you don’t want to marry me. You’ll regret this in the future. As I’m begging you now, you’ll beg me later.”
Ben felt a pang of regret but knew she was right. “I understand. I’m truly sorry for everything. Don’t think badly of me or try to harm me. I need to marry only one wife, not two. I can’t handle two at the same time.”
Naomi’s voice softened but remained firm. “You don’t need to control them, just make peace with them. As I said before, you’ll regret this.” With that, she left.
Meanwhile, Ben sat alone, contemplating the aftermath of his actions. He knew the road to redemption would be long and difficult, but he was committed to becoming a better person, starting with his relationship with Ada.
Ada had been understanding but cautious. She agreed to give their relationship a chance, but with the condition that Ben must earn her trust back. They began to rebuild their relationship slowly, focusing on open communication and honesty.
However, Naomi’s words lingered in Ben’s mind. He realized that his journey to becoming a better man was far from over.
One day, Ben was sitting in his room, thinking about how he would raise the money to pay for Ada’s bride price. Both his parents, Mr. Abdul and Mrs. Umi, along with others, were asking him to get married.
If Ben had known, he would have saved all the money he spent on all the girls around Abuja. When he had money, he spent it recklessly.
Ben’s thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door. He opened it to find his friend, Jamal, standing there with a concerned expression.
“Hey man, you look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Jamal said, stepping inside.
Ben sighed heavily. “It’s been a rough couple of days lately. How are you doing?”
Jamal replied, “I’ve been busy all this while. Why are you sitting here like this? Is something wrong?”
Ben took a deep breath. “Jamal, there’s something bothering me.”
“What is it? Tell me,” Jamal urged.
Ben hesitated before speaking. “It’s about my past. I had so many girlfriends, thinking it was a good thing. Now, I want to get married. I chose one over the rest, and the others are not happy. They said they hoped to marry me. Although I explained to them that I want to marry another girl, most of them agreed, but one girl insisted that I must marry her.”
“Naomi is her name. Since she came over, things got really intense. She demanded that I marry both her and Ada.”
Jamal raised his eyebrows in surprise. “That’s serious. What did you tell her?”
“I told her I couldn’t do it,” Ben replied, running a hand through his hair. “But now I’m dealing with the fallout. Ada and I are trying to rebuild our relationship, but Naomi’s words are haunting me. On top of that, I have to figure out how to raise the money for Ada’s bride price.”
Jamal nodded thoughtfully. “Well, you know you’ve got to start somewhere. Maybe it’s time to make some sacrifices and start saving up. You can’t change the past, but you can control what you do from here on out.”
Ben nodded, appreciating his friend’s support. “You’re right. I need to focus on the future and take responsibility for my actions.”
Jamal clapped him on the shoulder. “Exactly. And remember, you’re not alone. We can figure this out together. Let’s sit down and make a plan.”
The two friends spent the next few hours discussing ways Ben could save money and improve his financial situation. They came up with a budget that would allow him to cut down on unnecessary expenses and start saving for the bride price. Ben also decided to pick up extra shifts at work and look for freelance opportunities.
Days turned into weeks, and Ben diligently stuck to his plan. He worked long hours and made every effort to rebuild trust with Ada. Slowly but surely, he started to see progress. Ada began to trust him more, and they started making plans for their future together.
One evening, as Ben and Ada sat on the porch of Ben’s house, enjoying the sunset, Ada spoke up. “I can see you’re making a real effort, Ben. It’s not going unnoticed. I appreciate everything you’re doing to make things right.”
Ben smiled, feeling a sense of relief. “Thank you, Ada. I know I’ve made mistakes, but I’m committed to being a better person for you and for our future.”
Ada nodded, squeezing his hand. “I believe in second chances, Ben. Let’s take this one step at a time.”
As the months passed, Ben’s hard work began to pay off. He saved enough money for the bride price and formally proposed to Ada, who accepted with a smile.
“Ben, I want us to have a traditional wedding in secret. I don’t want everyone to know about it,” Ben suggested.
“Why do you say that?” Ada asked. “Why should we do it in secret? I don’t want anything secret. Don’t worry if it’s because of money. I will help and support our marriage.”
Ben explained, “I know that I still need money, but it’s not because of that. It’s because of those I have wronged in the past, those I promised to marry. If they hear that I’m getting married, they might show up and disrupt the wedding. That’s why I think we should do it in secret.”
Ada frowned. “Why should my wedding be different? When my friends got married, everyone knew about it. Why should ours be secret?”
