Adesewa - S01 E23

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 23

Since Adesewa wrote me a poem, I really love it and i planed surprising her back with a poem also . I wasn’t good at writing poems, but whatever that will make my Adesewa surprise and happy, am ready to go far for it.

After alot of tireless attempt, I was able to compose one. I memorized it off hand then search for a perfect time to recite it for her.

After dinner one evening, she was lying her head on my laps, and was slowly caressing her hair.

” Adesewa, I have something for you ” I said.

“Really? What is it ” she asked. I smiled at her then kiss her forehead.

” its a surprise ” I said.

” a surprise? ” she said.

” you just stay calm and listen to me” I said.

” Adesewa temi nikan so so,

Ife ti mo ni sio sowon,

Ife bi eji owuro,

To fun fun lele lowo,

Iwo ni enikeji mi,

Eni ti okan mi fe

Ife re ti pami bi oti ojo pe

Ife ti mo ni sio po gan

Ife otitio

Ife ti ko labawon

Iwo ni eni ti okan mi yan

Okan mi

Iwo ni adun aye mi

Ato na mi

For the first time in my dismal life

I feel love flow in my heart

the same heart once thought cold and lifeless

fills with glorious joy and happiness

because of a woman

whose spirit is full of passion

her eyes that shine like sapphire stars

filled with warmth and beauty

a smile that brings happiness to my sad existence

I have never known love until now

because of the way she touched my heart

took hold of my depressed soul

and showed me the beauty of life’s wonders

everything that I thought impossible

all seems to be within my grasp

I see everything in a new light

because of something I thought unworthy to feel

to feel love’s tender kiss

and I bask in its beauty so

because of the feelings of a woman

whom I would love now and ’til

my heart beats its final note to life’s great song.

Adesewa I will forever love you.

I think I got her surprise this time, she jumped on her feet then hug me passionately. She needn’t to say anything, her heart says it all.

Love is the only feeling in which no words is required.

“I’m not sure what life could bring,

I’m not sure if dreams come true,

I’m not sure what love can do,

But am very sure about one thing.

And that is – I love you a lot! ” she said then we kissed.

Faith makes all things possible. Hope makes all things work. Love makes all things beautiful.

I and Adesewa were in a beautiful world of our own. A world with true love. Since Adesewa time is nearby, I began doing all the works in the house, I will wake up very early in the morning and prepare food for her, tidy the house, fetch her bathing water then I will head to my working place. I also do wash her clothes, she didn’t like the idea of me doing all the house chores. But I also can’t watch her doing the works with her ball belly.

On a beautiful Wednesday evening, we were both in the kitchen preparing our dinner, actually am the one doing the cooking and she was doing the talking.

Adesewa : Ay can you believe that ever since you deal with that slot, he has been keeping his distance.

Me: you mean our landlord son?

Adesewa : exactly

Me: that’s a good news.

Anybody else disturbing you?

Adesewa : I got 50 more.

Me: you got to be kidding me.

Adesewa :*laughing * am only kidding.

Me: I thought as much.

Adesewa : Ay have been thinking about my dad.

Me: huh?

Adesewa: yea, have never be away from him this long. I don’t know how he is feeling right now.

Me: he denied you of true happiness.

Adesewa : yea I know, I have once disown him has my father… but I have forgiven him.

Me: yea you have to, cos he pushed you to run away. Am happy that you have forgiven him. That’s why I love you.

Adesewa : have been thinking of giving you a pet name, I don’t like calling you Ay anymore.

Me: really? So what’s the pet name you wanna give me

Adesewa : hmmm… I don’t know yet. Maybe I should call you Mine

Me: ummm.. Wao and I will call you Lilly.

Adesewa : thank you , am feeling dizzy I want to lie down.

Me: okay, do you need help?

Adesewa : no am OK.

I observed her for a while, she was lying but very restless.

” are you sure you are okay? ” I asked.

” get me a water ” she said. I was on my way to get her water when I heard her screaming. I ran back to her.

” Adesewa what is it? why are screaming ” I asked with a shaking voice.

” I think the baby is… Ahhhh.. The baby, the baby ” she said in voice full of pain.

” stay calm am going to take you to the hospital ” I said then I quickly run inside am pack some things

***** **** **** *** *** ****

At the hospital, I wasn’t allowed to go in with Adesewa to the labour room, so I stayed outside impatiently and praying. Whenever I see a nurse I will approach her then ask about Adesewa, but non of then give me a satisfactory answer.

After some time the doctor came out.

” are you Mr Ayo? ” he said. I answered him back with several yes.

“Your wife gave birth to a female child” he said. On hearing this I jumped up then hug the doctor.

” but sir.. ” he said

” what is it sir ” I asked immediately.

” your wife lost alot of blood… We tried our best… am sorry we lost your wife. ” he said.

I look directly at him. ” I don’t get you sir” I said.

” I mean your wife is no more ” he said.
