MY WIFE: the end
ROSSY: I am so pleased to have you join us on this platform today!
Thank you!
So let’s start with you, madam Bola. What do you have to tell our readers? Please keep it short
MADAM BOLA: my message to you all out there is that life is so erratic. The tables do turn quite unexpectedly. Be kind to all!
I also want to use this opportunity to tell you all that I and Adaku are now like mother and daughter.
She is due to have a baby this month and she has asked me to come to Canada and I can’t wait to do everything her mother would have done for her if she were alive.
ROSSY: awwwww! Amazing! Well, we wish her all the best and pray your relationship continues to flourish.
Zain, we didn’t see much of you in the whole story, but you definitely weren’t insignificant. What do you have to say to our readers?
ZAIN: erm, it was very hard for me to kill my initial feelings for Funmi. But I went home and tried to put myself in her husband’s shoes. Then I decided I would help her rebuild her home instead of destroying it.
My advice to everyone out there is, before you sleep with a married man or woman, think of how much damage you may be doing to their home.
If possible, help them rebuild their home. Quit being a home breaker.
It is also my pleasure to announce to you guys that I and Nkechi got engaged last week. We will be getting married in August by the grace of God
ROSSY: wow! How? We didn’t see that coming?
ZAIN: I know hehehe. After the hospital reunion, I became the family’s friend and would occasionally visit them…one thing led to another and I just fell in love with her
ROSSY: fantastic! Well, we wish you both all the best for the future. Madam Ebere, you were more or less neutral towards Funmi; how did you feel when your son broke the news that he was getting married to a Yoruba woman to you?
MADAM EBERE: erm, I didn’t necessarily hate her, and I wouldn’t say she was my favourite person in the world either.
When Ebuka brought her to the village, I welcomed her and made sure she was comfortable. But deep down, I think I wished she could understand the Igbo language so I can have some deep conversation with her.
To everyone out there, please accept whoever your child chose to spend his life with. Your duty is to give them your blessing and be a mother to both of them. Funmi has been a blessing to my household and I will forever be indebted to her.
ROSSY: Wow! Thanks for that advice. Chika! I particularly find you interesting! What were you thinking!
CHIKA: hahaha! I know Rossy!
ROSSY: how could you allow your girlfriend travel with a man! Tell us!
CHIKA: erm, my girl is trustworthy. She has been from day one, so she merits that depth of trust.
But I have to admit that things were playing up on my mind while she was there. There were times when I called her in the middle of the night just to make sure they are not having sex or something. Hahaha!
ROSSY: I can imagine! So what does the future hold for the both of you?
CHIKA: well, we will be going back to Spain after our traditional wedding a week after Zain’s. Currently, I am setting up an NGO in her name. They will basically help rebuild broken homes where possible, and where not, they would support victims to get back on their feet.
To every man out there, get a girlfriend like mine. Hahaha! Just support your girl in whatever her passion is. Cheers
ROSSY: awwww! So nice of you to have done that for her! Thank you. Ebuka! Hmmmm talk to us.
EBUKA: I actually lack words.i just want to say to everyone out there, if you find true love, keep it.
Things are not always what they look like, please verify before you crucify.
Also, it is your duty to protect your wife against external attacks. By external, I mean both families and friends.
Let me also mention that I’ve now found another job in Chevron as a managing director.
The best part is that I and Funmi are expecting our first child.
I have expanded her shoe business. It’s one of the biggest in town.
Please permit me to say a very big thank you to Amara. This lady is the reason my family is back together.
Special thanks to you, Amara and from the depth of my heart, I wish you a very successful marriage with your sweetheart, Chika.
ROSSY: awwww! Someone pass me some tissues! Okay! I need to remain professional! Dear Funmi, talk to us. By the way, pregnancy looks great on you!
FUNMI: (smiles) thanks, Rossy. It wasn’t easy being hated that much. At some point I felt Like doing that which I was accused of so that the whole ill treatment would be justified.
I would like to emphasise on the need to be careful with best friends and secrets.
Please keep some secrets with yourself. Trust no one hundred percent.
For Nkechi, I just want to say I love you and I hold nothing you did to me against you.
I would give you my kidney over and over again.
I’m so glad to be both Igbo and yoruba, and I am learning the Igbo language so I can communicate better with mama in law
ROSSY: awwwww! I must admit you are such an angel. Just trying to imagine what I would do in your shoes. Heaven help me! Hehe! Amara the girl!
Can I just say you are my namesake!
AMARACHI: awww really!
ROSSY: yes! So what made you the way you are. Not so many people will go out of their way to mend a broken home. What pushes you??
AMARACHI: my desire to see a better world. To leave the work better than I met it.
You know my initial understanding was that Ebuka needed to be rescued. Nkechi told me he was being abused by the wife, she turned him against his family bla bla. On getting there however, I noticed that it was in fact Funmi who needed rescuing so I quickly changed position.
I’m glad this family has not joined the statistics of dysfunctional families in Nigeria.
Special thanks to my fiance for his understanding and support. Only a guy like Chika can date me haha! It’s not easy knowing that your girlfriend is somewhere playing a woman of loose morals in another man’s house.
That said, I must admit that I did do certain things I wouldn’t be doing anymore this time.
ROSSY: what are those?
AMARACHI: going to France with Ebuka was just extreme. Anything could have happened. In my subsequent ones, I would device safer means to achieve my goals.
I love Nkechi, I love Funmi, I love EBUKA and I love my dearly beloved Chika more!
ROSSY: wow! Thanks you guys for letting me Into your personal lives and giving me the opportunity to share your story to the world. I enjoyed every bit of it and I have learnt invaluable lessons I wish to apply in my daily life.
THE END!!!!
Thanks for following me on the long journey with this story my wife. Thanks and i will start another serries soon. Thanks.
