The kids have informed
their parents of their transgression, the hidden marriage and the pregnancy but
something terrible has just happened.
“No! you absolutely
will NOT!”
My father stood up
bellowing, omo since we had decided to let our parents in on what was going on
it hadn’t been easy. It had taken a week and a half to get Derah’s mum in tune
with the idea and so far, his dad was still not on board.
Ogo and Derah were still working on Derah’s
mum and I sat before my parents telling them that I was four months pregnant,
married to the father in a secret registry ceremony and planning to do a proper
wedding.
My dad was not accepting of this, what didn’t
I hear? FOOLISH CHILD! WAYWARD! DISAPPOINTMENT! Sigh, it was better to go
through all that having Ifueko by my side. Derah had officially moved back to
Lagos and his dad was not pleased about that either even though there was
someone capable at the helms of affairs in Ghana, Derah’s dad applauded his son
for doing the noble thing but wanted him to be in Ghana, why didn’t he just
move his new family there?
Why did this woman come and change everything?
When he had had the guts to say it to my face including how I wanted Derah for
his money and prestige I was sure to tell him that I would have married and be
trying to remarry Ogo then if that were the case and that shut him up at least
for that period of time. I swiveled back from my many thoughts when I heard my
phone ring on my lap.
One of Ogo’s drivers was taking Ifueko and I
shopping to buy my dress with all of Derah and Ogo’s ATM cards, I decided to
buy my wedding dress with my own money which I actually had even though many
people chose to forget it. I knew Ogo would be mad if he found out but I had
ordered my dress the minute Derah had asked me to marry him and it hadn’t come
on time, now they were making alterations and sending it to me soonest.
“Hello” I said into the phone, frowning that
my brother-in-law was calling me so randomly, he sounded breathless, were these
randy children having marathon sex again and he was calling to gloat? I rolled
my eyes then
“Yes uncle, oga sir, how far?” I said a slight
smile tugging at my lips at the thought of him pounding into my sis from behind
the way she liked.
“Ifeyinwa has been in an accident Ifechi!” He
said more frantic than I have ever heard him
“We think her car has been tampered with!” My
heart skipped and began to pound heavily in my chest. I held on to the door
handle as my body shook with fear I didn’t know where it was coming from.
Ifueko turned to me and held my shaking arm.
“Turn back” I said slowly to the driver as I
got off the phone, Ifueko turned to me with a frown the driver looked at me as
if I were crazy. We had already reached Ikoyi and my parent’s house was at GRA
Ikeja.
“What is going on?” Ifueko said her grip on my
arm tighter
“Ifeyinwa was in an accident” I said still
shaking, she seemed to understand immediately because she didn’t say another
word, she pulled me into her arms as tears flowed while the driver swerved in
the middle of the road back to where we came from.
We came back to the house in total disarray,
my mum wailing as though my sister had passed on and my dad sternly telling her
to calm down. The news I had given them forgotten as my mum put things together
to go and be with her daughter – her crown jewel.
My mum always said she didn’t have favourites
amongst us but my brother and I never believe her. ifeyinwa was clearly my
mum’s favourite and for good reason especially since it was just her for 6
years before I was born. Ikedichi and I had given my parents nothing but stress
since we were born, Ifeyinwa had been the top student, senior prefect, first
class graduate, lawyer and now mother of amazing kids and good plus freaky
wife.
She was the perfect child and to be honest the
perfect sister which was why my heart ached as I watched my mum threaten to
fall apart. She wanted to involve the police but Ogo said no that it would be
handled, how he refused to say but he said he and Derah were working on it and
I was just supposed to be ok with that, they were both coming to pick me and
Ifueko up from the hospital and they were coming with little Michael as well.
Ogo and Derah came a few hours later and heralded
me and Ifueko away while my parents were driven to the airport by Ogo’s other
driver that had been driving me and Ifueko around. I was silent the whole way
back to Ogo’s, in fact everyone was not knowing what to say to me. For the
first time, Ogo didn’t growl or frown as he spoke to me, the calmness was sweet
and annoying too it made me want to cry.
Derah sat with me at the back and held me in
his arms rubbing my arm while I spoke to my brother about Ifeyinwa. Derah’s
touch was soothing but it made me so fucking horny as well and in the midst of
everything I wanted us to get home real soon so that he could fuck my fear
away. Ogo drove home like a mad man where I knew he felt most secure, he had
crossed checked his security and doubled it. once we were the car had stopped,
Derah scooped me up in his arms to carry me in the lift that took us straight
to the apartment building.
I clung to Derah as though my life depended on
it and maybe it did, I am not the most emotional person but since letting Ogo
and Derah into my life it has been an absolute whirlwind and it just kept
bringing tears to my eyes. Derah bent down to kiss the tears off my face as
they rolled down, to them I was crying because my sister lay passed out in a
hospital but I was hormonal and freaking horny to boot! Jesu
