One day, Papa and Mama called me to their room that they wanted to discuss something with me, I immediately knew what they wanted to say, I knew they were going to talk to me about my marriage to Adegbe, and in my mind I was already calculating how to prepare my defense before them.
When I entered the room, Mama went and sat down on her bed, and beckon on me to come and sit down on another stool that she already set in front of her then Papa got a seat and sat too…
Hmmmmmm! She breathed Mama then she said Chioma my daughter we your parents called you here this afternoon to tell you a very vital information that we know you did not know about your family, we want you to listen to and please listen well, because you are now of age, (I was 23 going to 24 then)…
and it is now time for you to know….
divorced his wife he will tell you that he does not know, and Chimamanda my third daughter she too got married and the same scenario… her own case is still fresh, just last year…
This is what is bothering us your parents; we don’t want what happened to your elder ones to happen to you… that is why we are sad…
When I heard that, something fell off my eyes and it looks as if I just woke up from a deep sleep…
Curse!!! I whispered with a stern voice
Yes curse replied mama, calm down my daughter let me tell you everything
In your father’s family females don’t get married and stay married, there is an age-long curse that forbids ladies from the family to stay in their husbands’ house the minute their dowry is paid, and they are genuinely married like you want to do now, their husbands will lose interest in them, and that feeling will continue until their marriage collapse.
Jesus! I screamed what kind of curse is that… who laid this curse and why was the curse laid on our family mama?…
