Isokene (STOP MY WIFE FROM SMILING) - Season 1 - Episode 11

☆☆☆☆

“ His mistress? What do you mean ma?” Isokene asked in a very soft confused voice, a voice that broke me into uncountable pieces.
I must have wept for over 10 minutes as I recounted everything to her. She was as shocked as the word shocked.

“ Jesus!” was all she kept saying…
After about 30 minutes, she asked me the million Naira question…

“ So what you planning to do, Aunty?”
“ I …I am planning to relocate to the US, start a new life with my children and watch what God will do. If Henry returns back to his senses, all well and good but if not , still good. The end of a marriage is not the end of the world”
“ Just like that….You plan on giving up just like that on your 15 year marriage, Aunty all those messages you used to preach, did it ever register with you or you were just giving people like us Spiritual food and starving yourself” Isoken asked

“ Isoken, this is too much, Henry loves the woman and he has threatened me that if anything happens to the other woman, he will hurt me…..To avoid problems , Let me just be on my own”
“ No you can’t be on you own, God didn’t create couples to live separate lives, but as husband and wife….So we just need the wisdom of God, Yes we are going to pray, but more of wisdom, submission….”
“ Sub What?” I thought to myself …“How can I submit to a man who was hurting me..Isokene didn’t know what she was talking about. At that point, I just tuned off, I didn’t hear a bit of what she was saying anymore, her mouth was just moving….

After about 45 minutes , she told me she was leaving. After she left I called my sister just to say hi and I mentioned that it was possible we were coming for a short break at her place in Texas.
Days passed, Henry didn’t come back home and my pride didn’t let me call him either. Isoken, (now Officially Isokene since her husband spoke to me over the phone telling me he was over his insecurities and now everyone was permitted to see his wife’s smile and even call her Isokene which was His personal way of calling Isoken) was always calling me on a daily basis asking how I was doing….

After 8 days of Henry’s absence from home, I officially became enraged. I picked my phone to call him to give him the blasting of his Life….
“ Hello, Henry so the witch has officially caged your brain? You left me broken and not even a phone call to check if I was ok. what if I had committed suicide?” I said boiling in anger…
“ I know you can’t do that…Betty I am sorry, Margaret is the one holding me down here, she has refused to let me go, she said now that you know everything, you might stop me from seeing her”
“ Jesus! Was this my husband speaking or a 5 year old boy….?” I thought as I wanted to scream out but rather I just said
“ Give her the phone” and just like a baby Henry handed over the phone to the She-devil….
“ Hello Ma”…the husband snatcher/She-devil said with the most beautifully alluringly textured voice I have heard in my life….If the circumstances were right, I could have fallen in love with her voice......

PART 13
“ISOKENE “
(STOP MY WIFE FROM SMILING)
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
“Hello Ma”…the husband snatcher/She-devil said with the most beautifully alluringly textured voice I had heard in my life….If the circumstances were right, I could have fallen in love with her voice….,
“And why the unnecessary “Ma”?, was she trying to give me a fake impression about herself that she was respectful? Or trying to act like a good girl before Henry….Please she should give that to fools like my husband that she had tied down with her charm” I thought as I blurted out in anger the next few words….
“Hello..Margaret or whatever you are called, I don’t have much to say to you, because I believe you and I are not in the same league.. I just want You to think of how callous you are and do the needful, before I ask God to punish you…”
“ Ma, I know God Can not punish me because I am also a Christian, I am a born again child of God…” She said VERY CALMLY
“ Christi…or What did you just call yourself?….Please what brand of Christianity is yours? The type that steals other people’s husbands or the one that support polygamy?….If that is it, then it must be a new brand from the pit of hell you practice” I said angrily
“ Ma, the Christianity I practice is the very one you practice, the one Abraham the father of faith practiced that made him have more than one wife”
“ What?” My tongued became automatically tied, The She-devil continued
“Yes, the type David practiced and made him have more than one wife and yet he was the man after God’s own heart,”
I was as quiet as a graveyard as I unbelievably was listening to this devil quoting scriptures to me, scriptures she knew so well, she cited so many scriptures to me backing up her point, then just like a dream she said…
“ Ma I am not a devil, neither am I an agent of darkness sent to destroy your home, I am just a woman who has found true love and is not ready to lose it.
I am not asking you to leave your matrimonial home, all I ask is just share your husband’s heart with me.
I don’t even plan on destroying your ministry. This can be our little secret. Nobody has to know.
I just love Henry and He is the first man to show my children and I genuine love after I lost my husband. Ma, God bears me witness that I am not using anything diabolical on Henry, we just love each other and like I said Ma, I don’t plan on taking him from you, We can share him Ma, and I promise to be a good girl….Please ma, don’t take him away from me, because if you try, I might be forced to act back….” she said very calmly pleading
I had never been that tongue-tied in my life before….
“ Hello Ma, Are you there? Hello…” Henry took the phone from her…
“ Hello, Hello Betty, Hello Honey…I know you are there, please don’t do anything crazy especially for the sake of the kids…I love you and God knows, but I also love Margaret tooo…So are you willing to share me with her, If you say yes, I will come home right away!”
I couldn’t say No or Yes or what do you think I should have said?
