π« My Sexcapedes EPISODE THIRTY ONE: β£οΈ
I was really between the devil and the deep blue sea. Because If I failed to support my family in the war against Susan, they would see me as an enemy. Moreover, It would be unwise of me to wage a war against a woman who swallowed such a secret for me against all odds.
So I stood neutral in the whole fight. I never sided with any party.
Meanwhile I have talked to my mother and uncles severally to let Susan be but they insisted on otherwise. So I washed my hands off the case like Pontius Pilate.
My family, at some point, decided to go to Susanβs family to traditionally end the marriage by taking back their dowry. But things turned sour. Susanβs family didnβt welcome them. They insisted that since their son-in-law, when he was alive, never for one day brought any complaints to them in respect to their daughter not to talk of bringing her back to them, that our family has no right to do so now that he was dead. In fact, the issue caused a big problem that day to the extent that the youths of the family wanted to fight my people. My people went home very embarrassed that very day.
I heard that my family has been inviting Susan home to end the marriage amicably but she turned down their invitations.
Susan invited me to come over to the house. That we need to talk. So one Sunday, I decided to honuor her invitation.
I drove in and parked. Moments later, I found myself relaxing in the sitting room. Susan was all alone. The twins went out.
βSteven, you are highly welcomedβ, Susan greeted.
βThank you very muchβ, I replied.
βFood and drinks are all available. So what can I offer you?β, he asked.
βI am okay. Thank youβ, I replied.
βYou are afraid too, eh? You donβt want me to kill you the way I killed your brother?β, Susan sarcastically asked.
βWhat kind of talk is that?β, I asked.
βIs it not your people that accused me of killing my husband?β, she remarked.
βSusan, enough! Is this what you invited me here for?β, I had to ask.
βSteve, it can never be enough..whereas your people are waging war against me. Why canβt they allow me to drink water and drop the cup in peace? Am I the only widow in this world? Why are they accusing me of killing my husband? Why are they shying away from what killed him their son?β, she paused. βAnyway, I am not afraid of them. I am ever ready for them. I know their plans: they want to reap where they didnβt sow. But their plans have failed. Nobody will ever drive me from my husbandβs house. Nobody!..β, she was yelling.
I maintained silence. I didnβt talk or move while she was yelling.
βSo I am talking and you are keeping quiet, ehn? I donβt even know where you belong, Steve. Are you in support of me or you are against me?β, she asked.
βI donβt know..β, I replied.
βAnyway, I know you will not do anything stupid. Because any day you try anything stupid, I will let the cat out of the bag myself..β
βSusan, is that a threat or what?β, I interrupted.
βSteven, I am not threatening you, I am just letting you know what I am capable of doing,β she heaved a sigh. βThe other day your people went to my fatherβs house to collect back the dowry they paid on my head. My happiness is that they were met with the biggest embarrassment of their lives. Anyway, thatβs just the beginning. I am ready for all of them. When I am done dealing with them, whenever they hear a widow, they will be on the run..β
Halfway, she stood up, went to the bar and brought a bottle of wine with some glass cups.
βI hope you will drink with me?β, she asked.
βI wouldnβt mind. Let it not be as if I am rejecting all your offersβ, I said.
βDo you think I care? If you like, drink; if like, donβt drink..,β she said while pouring the drink into the glass cups.
βI heard your people are coming to Lagos to confiscate my husbandβs properties and as well chase me out of this house..β she added while sipping her drink.
βSays who?β, I had to ask.
βI had the information. My informant told me thatβ, she paused. βBut I am ready for themβ, Susan said.
βI donβt know about such an arrangement. Besides, I am not part of the whole plotsβ, I said.
βNo problem. I am waiting for themβ, she added.
βJust trade with cautionβ, I advised.
βI willβ, she paused. βSteven, I want us to talk..β
βAbout what?β.
βAbout us..β
βUs?β.
βYea. You know itβs been two years since I lost my husband?β.
βYeaβ.
βSteve, I am too young to be a widow. I want us back again. Please save me the lonely nights..β
βSusan, there will never be us again. What happened between us in the past was a mistake. Susan, what we should be thinking of is how to appease the angry spirit of my brother, your husband, to avoid his wrath, not this again,β I said.
βLook, dead men donβt bite..β
We talked at length that day. All Susan wanted was for us to come back to iniquities again. But I disappointed her by refusing her approach. At some point, I left her without saying goodbye that day.
But of the truth, I am not part of the whole thing. My family has been seeing me as a betrayal. For that reason, they donβt carry me along in whatever they were up to in their war against Susan. Even their arrangement to come to Lagos to confiscate my brotherβs properties from Susan and as well send her packing, I donβt know anything about the plot.
I was left in total darkness.
Susan was not lying. The plot to confiscate her late husbandβs properties was real. My people actually came to Lagos in their numbers. But they didnβt succeed. Susan defeated them. She laid siege to them with soldiers. She dealt with them mercilessly. She treated them like criminals. In the end, she locked them up in the barracks.
Few days later, I recieved a distress call from home. It was my mother that called and started explaining the whole thing to me, how Susan beat and locked my people at the barracks, this and that. At the end of her talk, I asked her how was that my business. She started pleading with me to beg Susan to release my people from the guardroom. That Susan has refused to listen to their pleadings all these while.
I actually spoke with Susan on the whole issue. She explained everything to me without leaving a single stone unturned.
This was what really happened: Susan had an informant in our family who always leaked every information to her. She was very much aware of their plot and date of execution. So she cried to her Army General friend for help that her husbandβs people were coming to throw her and her children out from her husbandβs house and confiscate the whole of her husbandβs properties. General Umaru was seriously bittered. He promised to support Susan to deal with whoever showed up.
On that fateful day, the general sent his boys to Susan. When my people marched into the house and started making noise, the soldiers trooped in and dealt with them all. The soldiers beat hell out of them. They were all compelled into frog jumps that day. The soldiers really dealt with them mercilessly before whisking them away in their vans.
I pleaded with Susan to release them. At the end, she promised to do so on a condition.
What was the condition?
At the end, Susan finally released them from the guard room. But my family signed an undertaking never to trespass again in any of my late brotherβs properties again.
The signing of an undertaking was the condition.
As if that was not enough, Susan, after some months, dragged my family to court to restrain them from coming close to her husband’s properties. In the end, she won the case. Meanwhile, before Judeβs sudden death, he had already willed almost all his properties to the twins except the one in Onitsha he willed to our parents and one other property in Lagos he willed to me also.
Susan came out from the court battle with victory. She respected her late husbandβs will.
My family was retrained from all my brotherβs properties with some exceptions β the one willed to my parents and that of mine.
My secret was safe.
But my quest for a child continued..
