đ«đ The Other Woman Episode One:
âCome on Joe, donât be like this! Itâs not even easy for me to do this, but itâs just what has to be done. Please donât keep saying no!â Nkem told her husband who was looking at her Ă ngrily.
âNkem, Iâve told you before and Iâm saying it again. Donât you dare pull that kind of stunt with me again, you wonât like how Iâll react to it!
âHow can you ask me to do something as prepĂČsterous as sleeping with another woman, how much more Farida your friendâs daughter. Are you okay Nkem?â Joe asked his wife, his face burning hot with rĂ ge.
âI know it sounds crĂŁzy, I know you feel so bad about me right now, but think about it, what other options do we have? Do I sit back and wait until your mother succeeds in forcing one of those despĂȘrate women she keeps bringing here into staying for real?â Nkem asked, crying.
âYou know better than anyone else does that my mother would never be able to make me do that shĂźt.
“If I was despĂȘrate, if I didn’t know that God will give us our own child in his own time, if I didn’t know that the reason we got married wasn’t just to bear children, then I would have bowed to my mother’s pressure all along, and I’d have had a good reason to call you one night to tell you that I’m taking a new wife because I got someone pregnant.
âTwenty years Nkem, twenty freĂ king years and you think Iâve not bowed to pressure to get another wife, only to do so now?
âIâve told you before, I wonât have anything to do with any other woman because we havenât been blessed with a child yet, I wonât do it Nkem!â he said with an air of finality.
“Oh please stop with the unnecessary hopes already! What do you mean “yet” as if we’re having one tomorrow?
“I’ve had enough of all these empty hopes that has kept me sitting on edges all through these twenty years of waiting, and I’m done waiting. I know you must take another woman to make us children, but all I’m asking is that , you let that other woman be Farida.
“Someone that knows and understands why I’m doing this, and someone who won’t be in the way of the love we share” Nkem tried to convince her husband again.
“Nkem, if that love means anything to you, if this marriage means a dĂŁmn thing to you, never bring up this topic. Please don’t ever present another woman to me, or I’ll have to choose her and send you away” he told her before he strode out of the sitting room in ĂŁnger.
âWhat kind of problem is this? How can he still insist on not doing a thing as simple as taking Farida for a wife and saving us from this trĂČuble that is looming?
âHow am I supposed to carry on if his mother makes good her threĂ t and brings another woman home at the end of the month?â Nkem thought as she sat looking very worried.
Her friend Mandy had suggested getting a young girl for her husband herself, to ensure she had perfect control over her home, even after the girl got pregnant for him.
According to the plan, the girl would most certainly take in as soon as she got married to Chief Joe, and keep her mother in-law from troubling her home with the different women she kept trying to force on her husband.
âNkem, thatâs the best thing you can do in the circumstance. When you get a girl that respects you, she will remain loyal to you, and you wonât even notice that someone was even added to your homeâ Mandy had told her.
âI know Mandy, but what if the girl turns bad? You know how the girls of these days are. What if the girl tries to push me aside the very moment she gets pregnant and tries to take all I’ve laboured for with my husband away from me?â Nkem asked her friend.
âOh please Nkem, you know that canât happen in this lifetime! Iâll help you scout for a good girl that will understand her position with you.
âAnd even if the girl we find chooses to be bad, your husband that we know, wonât let that happen! The force of the love between you two will certainly overcome whatever storm the side girl can raiseâ Mandy argued.
âForget all these plans Nkem, I still insist that adopting a child is your best bet now. How can you bring problem into your own house by yourself just because your mother in-law is troubling you, when your husband is standing firmly by your sides, something he has been doing for twenty good yearsâ Jackie their friend countered, making Mandy very furious.
âCan you hear yourself Jackie? You want her to adopt when you know so well that her mother in-law is crĂ„zy about getting a grandchild from her only son!
âIf you were in her shoes, would you agree for a child that has no blĆĂ”d relationship with your son be raised as his, when he could actually have his?â Mandy asked, making Nkem hug herself with tears burning in her eyes.
Jackie didnât have an answer for Mandyâs question and Nkem became more convinced that she needed to do something. She couldn’t agree less that every woman deserved to hold a child they know shares their blĂČodline for a grandchild.
Three days of planning and making contacts and Nkem ended up choosing her friendâs daughter, Farida, as a candidate, because she didn’t get a better option.
She had been so sure that her husband would readily accept her plans, seeing that she had taken measures to ensure that their marriage wonât be experiencing any turbulence as a result of the plans, but not only had he refused to do her biddings, he had been very mĂ d with her, and stayed Ă ngry for some days.
âHello Nkem, how is it going with the plans? I heard your mother in-law just arrived this morning. I hope she didnât come with another woman this time?â Mandy asked Nkem some weeks later, over the phone.
âMy sister, she did! And this time, the woman isnât ready to budge. My husband has been threatĂȘning fire and brimstone since morning, but she insists sheâs only leaving after she sees me pregnant!â Nkem cried.
âI donât know Nkem, but it seems to me that your waiting until these despĂȘrate woman who want nothing but to get their hands on your husbandâs wealth take him away from you in totality before you act!â Mandy told her.
âWhat do I do again my friend? Iâm so tired and confused. Iâve been crying since morning!â Nkem complained.
âNow isnât the time to cry my friend. Itâs the time to act. I donât know how Iâll be able to convince my daughter to do this, but Iâll see what I can do about it, and Iâll give you a perfect plan tomorrow.
âI canât sit by and watch a stranger take over my friendâs home, while I can do somethingâ Mandy said.
Nkem seemed happy to know that Mandy was ready to help her. From the plans, she’ll make her husband impregnate Farida, and marry her, just for the sake of the childâs legitimacy.
Then when the child is weaned, Farida would leave the child for Nkem to adopt officially and travel abroad with a good sum of money Nkem agreed to settle her with.
âSheâll find a good husband with her beauty and the money sheâll be having thenâ Mandy had said, and the two friends laughed over how it was going to be a win win for everyone.
âBut how will I make my husband agree to make love to her when the mere mention of it, nearly made him chase me out of his house?â Nkem asked her friend, but she asked her to trust her, and wait for the perfect plan the next day.
