The Other Man - S01 E07

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 7

After two weeks, my sister went with me to my husband’s house to plead with him to take me back.

Victor: How do you expect me to take back, sister T. She caused me so much pain which I haven’t healed from. Imagine a woman I loved with everything in me going to sleep with someone else, do you think that memory will be erased from my head and heart?

Tolani: hmmm but are you sure she is guilty of that accusation?

Victor: if I was told, I won’t believe it but the evidence is glaring, the video of her whoredom is everywhere

I bowed my head where I sat fuming silently. I felt pained that the man I call husband couldn’t even stand up for me. If he couldn’t defend me at this crucial time of my life, what is the essence of the love he professes to have for me?

Me: Let’s leave here big sis

Tolani: will you shut up my friend?

Me: Sister, what he is saying is arrant nonsense. What love do you have for me if you can’t stand up for me? Do you think I wanted to come here?

Tolani: shut up Teniola, why will you be disrespecting your husband in my presence?

Me: because he does not deserve my respect. See, I have laid a curse on you and it will come to pass. If you are truly the one responsible for my pregnancy, you will not prosper in life

Tolani: Jesus! When did you become like this Teniola?

Me: I became like this the moment he denied the pregnancy in me and sent me out of the house. You can go to hell, I don’t need you in my life. Let me sound you a note of warning, don’t ever come looking for me or my unborn child.

My sister was so disappointed in me but I cared less, Victor brought out the stubborn side of me. Well, all I said were out of anger because I loved Victor and didn’t know how I would survive without him. I think I should say I was being manipulated that day.

Since Victor wasn’t ready to take me back and I also wasn’t ready to apologize, i had to start living with my sister.

School resumed and I traveled back to school, my sister had to take over the payment of my tuition and other necessary bills.

Trying to go about my academic activities with pregnancy wasn’t easy at all. There were times I had a test to write but won’t be able to read because of pregnancy stress, there were days I won’t be able to attend lectures because of body pains. At a point, I started wishing I never got married in the first place.

To make matters worse, some students on my campus who happened to be my church members brought the news to the devastating school. Gossips were flying around but I was able to scale through.

The performance of my first-semester examination after the scandal was terrible that my HOD had to call me to find out what was wrong with me. Since she was a mother and was very loving, I wasted no time in explaining my ordeal to her.

She was touched after listening to my tale, She asked me not to give up on life and also pray for my marriage. She laid much emphasis on the aspect of prayer but I was too drained to pray.
