Baby Husband – Mary Ogun’s

I ignored my mother in-law questions as I was wondering what she’s doing here after she spent one month with us, left last week and here she’s again.

“Where are you coming from?” My mother in-law asked and I gave my husband “what’s she doing here” look but he looked away

“Am coming back from the office ma” I answered

“At this time of the night?” She eyed me

“It’s just 5:01pm” I said checking my wristwatch

“Mom, I told her not to work_ I sent a death glare to my husband which made him stop

“You went to the office in this tight clothes to seduce your boss abi?” She scrutinized me and I became angry

“You’re a married_ I didn’t listen to the rest of her cheap talks as I walk to my room without sparing them a glance

“Bisola”

My mother in-law barged into our room and I frowned at her uncultured behaviour

“Mama, what if I was naked?” I asked angrily

“Shiooor, Is there something you have that I don’t?” She hissed and I facepalmed

“What’s all this, Mama?” I pointed at the pot of soup she’s holding like a lifeline

“You’re wasting my son’s money on this” she said and I shaked my head”If only she knows I cooked the soup with my money”

“The only thing you know how to do is squander my son’s money, That’s why you’re not pregnant yet” she said and the last statement triggered me

“Babyyy” I shouted and my husband rushed to our room

“Yes”

“Tell ur mom to go back to her matrimonial home, we got married five months ago, we still need our privacy without interference” I said

“NEVER, Do you want me to chase my mom out?” He asked with wide eyes

“I didn’t say you should chase her out, Tell her to give me breathing space” I argued

“Never, Nothing can make my mom leave this house not even you” He retorted and I blinked back the tears that were abt to fall

“Fine, I’ll leave this house till you realise that your mom and I have different position in your life, For our ship to sail, there can’t be two helms (Ur mom and I), Grow up” I said as I began to pack my clothes in determination to leave the house for few days.

“Let’s see if your mom will be with you at night also”

“What are you doing here?” My mom asked after I entered the house

“Momm, Let me sit down fess” I said with a slight frown

“I came to spend the weekend with you guys” I said and I didn’t miss the glint in her eyes

“Try your lies somewhere else not with me” She said with a frown and I cowered in fear explaining everything that happened to her

.

.

“But you’ve to go back” She said

“Mom, Do you want me to goan die ni?” I asked with a frown

“God forbid but you’re married already, Did you see me leaving your father’s house to stay in my own father’s house?” She asked in a sincere tone

“But Dad loves you and doesn’t behave like a baby husband” I muttered

“But still_

“When am going back in the next two days, We will go and be living there together” I mumbled biting my lips

“Huh, Why?” Mom furrowed her brows

“If my husband can bring her mom to our home then so do i” I said

.

“Ehhn, What about me?” I heard the voice and turned to see my dad

“Daddyyy” I shriek in excitement as I hugged him knowing he’s going to give me advice(s)

.

.

“So, Your husband is a Mama’s boy” my dad said, He’s a marriage counselor and I nodded

“My mother in-law knows literally everything going on in our home, He tells her everything with an excuse that “she’s an elder woman who knows more than us” I cringed when I remember the way he said it

“Hmmmn, I need to see your husband before I can start anything” My dad said and I frowned

“He won’t come, My mother in-law won’t let him come” I mumbled

“Is it this bad?” He asked and I nodded

.

.

I woke up the next day to see my husband sitting on a chair beside my bed and I shriek in fear

“Relax, You’re acting as if you saw a ghost” He said and I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand hoping I was hallucinating

“W_wh_what are you doing here?” I asked with a frown

“I came to take you back home” He said looking at his fingers like a kid who saw new toys

“Am not going with you” I groaned

“I miss you sooo much” He got up and sat on my bed

I look at my husband as if he has grown two horns

“I miss you soo much” He got up from his chair and sat on my bed, holding my hands which made me feel a tingling sensation like a highschool girl who was held by her crush

“Let’s go back to our home” He said and I chuckled

“Our” ke, It’s your mom’s house not our home”

“Stop this nau” He kissed my forehead and trail the kisses down to my neck

“Wait, What’re you doing?” I asked knowing what he’s trying to do, manipulating my vulnerable state

“I miss you” He said huskily in my ear and I shudder at his touch

.

.

The door opened and I whispered “Thank you Lord” as my mom came fully into my room

“If mom didn’t come in, something would’ve happened” I thought

“Bisola, Why didn’t you cook for your husband yesterday morning?” Mom asked with a scowl on her face and I was confused

“I cooked for him, Mom” I said and she looked at me as if i have grown two horns

“I don’t understand” Mom mumbled and I looked at my husband

“I cooked for you yesterday morning even packed your lunch abi” I nudged him to defend me by saying the truth

“Hmmmn” He scratched his neck nervously

“What did you do?” I whispered knowing he did something bad that’s why he’s nervous

“Ermm… N_nothing” He said

“Your husband told me that you didn’t cook yesterday and abused him even when he asked for his breakfast” Mom said and I screamed in horror

“Why did you start lying?” I turned to him and he look pale

“I_i d_didn’t mean to do it” He stuttered and I was confused

“Tell me the truth” I spat

“M_mo_mom told me to do it that you will come home when your mom hear it” He said and I went red in anger

“You mean my mother in law told you to lie that I didn’t cook for you yesterday and You did it?” I asked in disbelief

“Y_ye_yes, Am sorry” He mumbled biting his lips and I facepalmed

“GET OUT” I said and he looked shocked

“Bisola, Calm down o” My mom said

“I said “GET OUT” I shouted again and he scurried away

“Why’s my husband behaving like a baby?
