My second wife episode 5

MY SECOND WIFE LAST EPISODE

" Papa ! Papa!!! I blew it up!"
Adesua shouted . I was almost panicking , thinking another evil has befallen me , but the joy in her face made me relax.
" You want to give me a heart attack ? Haaà shebi you want to kill your dad Adesua ?
" Dad I blew my WEAC exam , dad I decapitated WEAC , DAD I said discombobulated WEAC!"
I was so happy seeing my daughter happy , I was relieved of my sorrows for the moment .

" Dad give me five !"
New school parenting this children are no longer afraid , was I mad to tell my dad to give me hi five ? He would land it on my face .

" Dad I got a parallel! I'm the best student who sat for WEAC this year ! I got nine As."
I was overjoyed I asked her to go and get me a pack of juice from the fridge , we drank I took her to ShopRite in Ibadan I told her to pick anything she liked , my daughter was picking books . It was hilarious
" Haaà Adesua how can an intelligent girl also be foolish ? I asked
She was confused .

" I told you to pick anything you want , I'll pay for it , you went and filled the trolley with books ? Hmmm ok let's enter GAMES shop"

I bought her clothes and shoes , I bought her a laptop of two hundred thousand. I bought her an iPhone my daughter cried for joy . She embraced me and called me the best dad in the world .
Adesua has always been a blessing to me and my family , we went to a eatery were she ordered assorted meals , I was ok with my amala and Ewedu soup with big Beef and kpomor. After eating we had a conversation about her mother
" Dad why has mum refused to return to the house ?
Adesua my daughter I've tried my best I went with my uncle to beg her family, she said she would only return if your step mother leaves the house ." I explained to my daughter

" Dad since I came back from school , I don't think you're happy , you're always looking depressed and devastated."
I nodded my head and smiled
" My sweet daughter now that you're back I'm fine ".
" But dad you I'm not your wife, go and get mum back , do whatever you must "
" Sweetheart what am I to do if your mum refused to come back ?"

" Dad are you happy with step mother being the one In your life ?
I was saddened by that question.
"She's not in my life she's just in my house and I'm feeding and housing her , my feelings For her died a long time ago."
" So why is she still here she asked ?"
"My daughter you'd not understand , I can't send her back to her father's house she has nobody there ".
My daughter was silent all the way home .
" Aremu what are you celebrating with your daughter and I'm not carried along ?
She wasn't around when Adesua broke the news . I ignored her as if there wasn't a soul standing before me .
Again I made the one hour thirty minutes drive to Ijebu Ode to see my wife and son , she was happy to see me we spoke for long but she still refused to come back with me except I sent Abosede packing . I didn't have the mind to do that .
My daughter Adesua again smashed national records by scoring three hundred and eighty in her JAMB examination. The Nation newspaper came to interview me and Adesua , even the Sun newspaper .
Then I heard Abosede crying I went to ask her what she was crying .
" You have succeeded in making me a childless woman ! You refused to help my son get bailed they sent him to prison and now they killed him !"
" Killed him who did ?" I was confused, I didn't feel hurt , those boys have made my heart sorrowful.
I called my cousin Brother who was working in the prison yard.
" Fayemi what happened in Kirikir? I heard Abosede son died ".
" Aremu your son was involved in a cult clash in prison , ;and somebody hit his head with a heavy wood and he slumped and died.
I looked at a Abosede with an accusing look . She turned those boys into criminals. He was buried ,in Lagos by the state government because I was tired of burying bodies .

Adesua broke another record by getting admission to five A list universities in America and UK to read aeronautic engineering on scholarship , even I have only three children I still walked with pride because people praise me for giving birth to such an intelligent daughter .

We were preparing for Adesua travel to UK after she returned from seeing her mother and brother in Ijebu Ode. Adesua was eating rice her served and then she started holding her chest vomiting blood and the food . Abosede called me from the office I drove like a mad man from work to the house. My daughter's eye was turning white I and Abosede took her into the back of the SUV and I drove to university teaching hospital. Kunle my in-law was already waiting for me because I called him ahead of time .
They rushed her into the emergency unit .
"Abosede did you poison my daughter?
Abosede bursted into crying saying i was accusing her of being a murderer
.
Later the doctor came with the bad news ,he said they could resuscitate Adesua , that she's gone to be the Lord .
I wept again I wanted to die , I wanted the ground to and swallow me . I was devastated, nobody could console me .after the burial people started leaving , Kemi was there with me for a week before she left for Ogun state .
I couldn't eat or sleep ,I kept seeing my baby Adesua crying in my dream , asking me to help her.
Then one afternoon I started hearing shouting from Abosede room.
" This mad Woman dont disturb my peace ! Am i the first man who made a mistake to marry a bad woman ? I will throw you out if you make another noise again ".
She was still shouting , I could hear the slaps but i couldn't see the slapper. I could see her holding her neck like somebody was choking her , the hands were invisible.

" I will confess ! I will confess!"
" Confess what?" I said .
Abosede ran out of the house shouting
"Fire fire they're burning my legs , they're cutting me with cutlass ."
She ran out of the house , she shouted and people ran to my compound .

" Stop beating me ! I said I'll confess "
She ran back into the house and brought a small casket tied in red wrapper
When she poured it out there were different kinds of juju .
There were all kinds of figurines and idols . Then there was this pregnant figurine with a needle pierced into it stomach And private parts.
" This one is the one I used to kill Adisa , I put the needle in her stomach and private parts to make sure she couldn't deliver until she dies ."

She laughed hysterically then picked up a two in one figurine which a needle was pierced into their stomach .
" This one I used to kill two of the triplets , how can Kemi children be doing well and getting praised and so I killed them "
She was still laughing mad
" Adesua was too stubborn , I tried to kill her with juju I couldn't so I poisoned her food ."
She laughed so much . At this point Mama and my sisters heard with their ears what they has brought on me. I sank to the floor only if I had listened to Kemisola and drove this witch away my daughter would have till be alive . I sank into the ground weeping like a child , men told me to be a man.

After her confession Abosede undressed herself and began to run towards the evil forest as the unseen people were beating her , she died at the entrance of the evil forest , by tradition no one could touch her body because she died by the road the young man cut branch and dumped on her.

I was so depressed , I didn't see a reason for living I lost six children in less than five years because of my mother , and my sisters . I was happy with my children being girls I was happy with Kemi until my mother and sisters made me marry the daughter of Satan as my second wife.
I bought a big rope, the type they tie cow with , I wanted something strong , that won't cut off . I knotted a noose , climbed a stool , I jumped off . I thought I was hallucinating but I saw Kemisola, it was already late as she had broken into the house ,I wanted to remove the rope it was already too tight .

Kemisola's brothers lifted me up immediately so my neck would not break they cut off the rope and rushed me the hospital .
Woke up to see my daughter whom I'd not seen in years at my hospital bed , my son was there , their mother was crying , my mum and sisters were all crying . I thanked God that k didn't die . THE END
