My Boss Wife - S01 E06

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 6

While we were discussing who to invite and

who not to invite to the wedding, what food

to prepare and what not to prepare, my

phone beeped. It was my husband.

“Hello honey.”

“Hello Madame.” A feminine voice said from

the other end.

“Who are you? What are you doing with my

husband? Tell him I’m leaving his house for

him.” I cut off the call.

“Who was that?” Busayo asked.

“It was the woman my husband is messing

with?”

“Messing? No, I trust your husband would not

be doing such a thing.”

“See, the fact is that no man can be trusted.

I’ve trusted my husband far too much and he

has not reciprocated that.”

“Don’t think about that now, what is most

important now is to know whether your

husband is fine or not.” Before Busayo

finished speaking, my phone beeped again.

This time around, it was an unknown number.

“Hello, this is Dr. Ijeoma from the Federal

Teaching Hospital.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“It’s your husband.”

“What? My husband, is he alive, is he…”

“No Madame, he is alive and recovering quite

well.”

“Thank God.”

“Your husband was the luckiest of all the

victims of the bomb blast. He didn’t sustain

many injuries and would be discharged

tomorrow or next.”

“Oh Jesus!” I exclaimed, breathing in and out

in a fast tempo.

“What’s the news now?”

“She’s even a doctor.”

“I said it, your husband can’t be involved with

any other woman.”

“I know joor…you just can’t be so sure.”

“That’s true but you can trust your husband.”

“I trust him of course. Oh, who are we

inviting next?” I brought us back to the

subject matter of our earlier discussion.

“Oh, I’m thinking of specially inviting my

colleagues.”

“See you, you can’t forget that naah.”

As we talked on, my phone beeped again.

“Who will this be now?”

“Pick it first naah.”

“Ok, it’s another unknown number?”

“Hello.” I said.

“Hello.” The voice on the phone sounded

familiar but it was difficult deciphering whose

voice was that.

“It’s Kayode, your husband’s company’s

engineer.”

“Oh, the one that repaired our fanning

systems!”

“Yes, your fanning systems.” He said as we

both laughed. “I’m calling with particular

reference to your husband.”

“What about my husband?” I said as if I’m

totally ignorant about his condition.

“We’ve just been informed by the Federal

Teaching Hospital that your husband is one

of the victims of the bomb blast but he was

the luckiest of all the victims. He was

minimally injured by the blast.”

“Thank you for the information.”

“You need not mention.”

“There’s something else.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s about the other day. Since that day, I

couldn’t stop thinking about you.”

“Thanks but you need not go there. I don’t

have time for such rubbish.” I hissed as I cut

off the call.

——————–

My husband returned the next day in the

evening with his head plastered.

“Honey, what happened to you?”

“It’s a long story my love.”

“Don’t worry my dear, go and shower first, we

would talk about it later.” I was helping him

remove his tie from his neck.

“Daddy, daddy, welcome.”

“That’s my boy. How are you my brain box?”

“I’m fine daddy, our Aunty told us that there

was a bomb blast and I’ve been waiting to

ask you because mummy does not know

anything?”

“Close your mouth there.” I said.

“Odin, mummy knows something ehn?” Odin

shook his head in acquiescence.

“And the bomb blast, some lives were

saved.”

“Thank God Daddy.”

“That’s my boy.” My husband carried him on

his shoulder playing with him before he took

him to his room before he went to shower.

As he was taking his bath, Odin ran to me.

“Mummy, mummy, daddy bought me

chocolate.”

“Oh, and he bought me nothing.”

“It’s because I know something more than

you like the bomb blast.”

“My boy is intelligent. He knows about the

bomb blast.”

“Yea! I know about the bomb blast.”

“Have you done your assignment for

tomorrow?”

“No mummy but I have started it.”

“Now go and finish it before lunch is ready.”

“Yea! I love my mummy.”

“I love you too baby.” I pinched him as he

goes to his room, laughing.

When my husband finished showering, he

came to the kitchen where I was.

“So what happened honey?”

“I need to cook for my family first. It’s been

long I did that.”

“What can you cook? Do you think we want to

drink tea for lunch?” I was laughing out loud.

“Ok, I want to surprise you.”

“Really?”

“Yes my love, so you go and rest in the room,

I’ll invite you when it’s time.”

Going to my room, I met Odin coming out

from our bedroom.

“And what is my baby doing in our room?”

“I was looking for my mummy. I love my

mummy even though I know something she

doesn’t know.”

“I love you too my baby.”

“So have you finished your assignment?”

“I’ve finished it mummy.”

“Can we go to your room, let me check it

out?”

“Yea!”

“Wow, this is great. I love it.”

“Yea! I love my mummy.”

“I love my baby too.”

As I was jollying with my baby, my husband

called.

“My love, call Odin and you two should come

and have something delicious.”

As we were eating, Odin spoke up.

“Mummy, the food is yummy yummy.”

“That’s true my baby.”

“Thanks honey for this. You’re everyday

bringing joy into my life.”

As soon as he finished eating, he rushed to

the sitting room, putting on the telly. As soon

as we finished eating, my husband carried

me like a baby.

“What are you doing honey? Stop it.”

“I want to tell you what happened to me in

the bedroom.”
