I AM NOW MARRIED Episode 6 – Princess Stories
Mark is seen with his wife in the bedroom
“Babe” he called as he cuddled her in his arms. She was reading a book but he wanted her attention
“Yes dear.” She replied
” Can you tell me about your past” He asked, a question that made cold chills run down her spine. She sat up to look at him
“I don’t understand your question” she said in a low tone, not knowing what to say
“I mean you should enlighten me the more on your past” he said pulling her close
” I just want to confirm something” he said further, stroking her hair so she won’t be tensed.
“well… I used to go to club. I do that because of money, just to feed my mom and siblings. I hadn’t intended to but I just had to” she said shortly
“Is that all” her husband innocently asked as her heart raced.
“I think so” she said gently. He kissed her passionately, just for her not to be afraid or worried about what he asked
“I still love you okay” he said as they disengaged from the kiss.
“Buh honey I want you to be prayerful these days” he added
Kemi knew he had brought up this issue not quite long, she didn’t Know why but her instincts tell her something’s up.
“Okay, I will” she responded
“Promise me” he said with smiles, glad that she didn’t stress him with arguments this time around
“Yeah sure. Anything to keep my marriage” she replied
💖💖💖💖💖
Kemi started becoming worried about the way Mark has been emphasizing on prayers these days.
She didn’t know what to do. She thought of calling her home to narrate what’s up in her home to her but she remembered there should be no third party in her marriage.
“Oh God, Please help me make the right choice.” She said as she was still in deep thoughts. She decided to take a step. She finally resolved in embarking on a three day fast, to close by 6pm daily.
Part of her prayers was for God to give her wisdom to manage her home.
On the second day of her fast, she heard a knock on the door. It wasn’t Mark because it was still a bit early. She opened the door to discover it was her mother.
She was surprised and at the same time very Happ, thanking God that she came because she really came at the right time. Her mom has recovered from her sickness, all thanks to God and Mark
“Ah mama….I’m so happy you came ma” she said as she offered her mom a seat.
“Yes my daughter, I came to check on you. How are you oko mi” her mom responded
“I’m very fine Ma” she said in between smiles
“And how is your husband” she asked further
“He’s very fine Ma” she responded, still wondering whether to tell her what was bothering her or not
“Well, that’s good. How’s your prayer life.” Mama asked
“Fine ma” she responded smiling
“I don’t want fine.When last did you fast” Mama asked
“I’m fasting presently Ma, to break by 6pm. This is the second day Ma” Kemi responded
“Oda. That’s good. Vigils nko. When last did you observe that one” Mama said. Kemi fell silent as she couldn’t recall when last she observed it. She has been so obsessed with her husband and showing her bestie all he’s been doing for her. The last she could recall was three months ago
“Dakun oko mi, you’ve not answered my question. Or it doesn’t deserve an answer.” Mama said, snapping Kemi out of her thought.
“Ehm… Mama, I can’t remember ma” she said, as she couldn’t lie to her mom, it’d only worsen the situation.
“U said wat?….Kemi.” Mama exclaimed
“Do you have to wait till trouble cones before you begin to pray, fast and observe vigils? Ehn Kemi….haa. why are you behaving like this nw. Why you behaving like I never thought you these things. Have you gotten so obsessed with the fact that you’re now married despite your past that you let your spiritual life grow cold. Kemi!! I’m talking to you” Mama kept lamenting
“I’m sorry Ma” she said
“Sorry for yourself o. So you’re just like any other girl. So Mark isn’t enjoying the benefit of marrying a Christain. You’re just elany other woman out there that face different kind of challenges without any help……no no no, Kemi you didn’t think well o” Mama said
“Come to think of it….” Mama said further “Why are you fasting, there’s fire on the mountain abi.”
“Ehm…..I don’t know Ma. But my husband said I should fast. I think something’s bothering him Ma” Kemi said, feeling sad.
“I said it…..and there’s no oil in your lamp.” Mama said
“Ma?” Kemi said, not understanding what she meant.
“What is Ma?…..there’s no oil in your lamp now, there’s no past prayers or fasting for you that’s make the job easier. Now you have to start working it out now. I pity you o” Mama said
“Anyway give me food let me eat.” Mama said as Kemi got up to prepare something
Mama stayed few minutes more and left, saying she didn’t intend sleeping over.
When mama left, Kemi was in very deep thoughts concerning what Mama had said.
She remembered how she said she had wanted to take care of the spiritual environment of her home as well as their individual spiritual lives. Instead, she spent those times in gisting and boasting about Mark to Esther
“I’ve made a mistake” she said amidst thoughts. Then, something just flashed through her mind. She remembered that even back in those days, Esther had always been the jealous type.
She vividly remembered when a guy asked her out and she was still thinking about his proposal when Esther snatched him from her
“Wait…..wait o. Is that why Mark is asking me to pray. Was that why he asked about my past. Has she revealed my secret. Jesus…..I’m in trouble” she exclaimed as she ran into her room to resume prayers again
I AM NOW MARRIED Episode 7 – Princess Stories
Mark returned home later in the day, very tired and late as his job was time consuming and also drains his strength in the process. Mark had resolved in his heart to spend a little time with his wife before he slept, as the temptation he got from the two ladies were becoming overwhelming, that was why he wanted his wife around him these days just to remind him that his woman is always available for him and there was no reason looking outside or consenting to their demands.
“Babe, you’re late.” Kemi said as she welcomed her husband
“Yes and I’m sorry. It wasn’t my fault” he said as he forced a smile
“No problem my love, dinner’s ready. Let’s eat” she said as she helped in removing his suit and tie.
“You’ve not eaten?” He asked as he made his way to the dinning room.
“I haven’t, I just drank water so I could have enough strength to wait for you. Now come sit let me serve your meal” she said
Mark watched as Kemi dished his food and sat beside him to feed him a bit before eating.
“Surely, this woman doesn’t deserve to be cheated on.” He thought to himself.
He kept staring at her as till they finished their meal
He had resolved in his heart to stay with her that night till he fell asleep as he was way tired.
They ate their food in silence. Mark was tired and Kemi hadn’t wanted to discuss anything, seeing he was tired. She silently packed the plates to the kitchen to wash them.
Mark felt she was taking alot of time so he went to look for her.
He found her still washing plates and smiled to himself.
“Hey babe” he whispered as he hugged her from behind. She was startled at first, but smiled later on to find out it was her husband
“Hey” she replied
“You’re taking too long, I want to be with you” he whispered, kissing her ears and neck slowly
“But I’m not done” she protested
“I don’t care…..just leave it and let’s go upstairs” he said, holding her waist this time. Kemi sensed what he wanted and smiled to herself
“Okay fine, I’m coming.” She responded.
“come now. I need you now, the dishes can wait please. Or do you want me to start here?” He asked, making Kemi to laugh.
“Okay okay…..let’s go then” she said as she left what she was doing and followed him to the room. Mark had wanted to carry her bit he was tired, he only regained some strength after eating…
💖💖💖💖
Although Mark got what he wanted that night, he was still thinking of how to spend quality time with his wife; he hadn’t wanted to lose her, neither had he wanted to look outside. Taiwo had almost stopped pestering hik but Esther was neck bent on having him to himself
He was still awake and deep in thoughts as Kemi was in his arms, fast asleep. He stared at her a bit and smiled, kissing her lightly on her forehead.
“I love you dear” he whispered
“I know what to do.” He thought to himself.
💖💖💖💖💖
Mark had gone to work and today was the third day of Kemi’s fast. Kemi had given a flimsy excuse to Esther so she wouldn’t visit her for the meantime.
Kemi was very tired as a result of the fast as she had planned to extend this day’s own a little from 6pm to 9pm and it was just 5pm
“Jesus….I’m so tired. I didn’t think this thing through o” she said as she left the house to her compound to just look around.
All of a sudden, a tattered man came to her from the gate
“Jesus…..Tunde!!!…Tunde!!!!…Tunde ooo…..olatunde. God, where is this boy” she said as she kept quiet because strength was oozing out of her
“Ma!!!…. Madam you called me….”
“Yes I did….now can you explain this” She said, pointing to the obviously mad man.
“Madam I no know o”
“Tunde. I don not have strength so please for God’s sake, how did he get into this compound”
“Madam, I went to buy something for myself madam. I no know say e dey follow me. As I wan close gate, na so e appear com force himself for gate. As I dey look for am from the other side naso I com hear your voice ma say u dey call me mada” Tunde explained in a sincere Manner
“Water please….I’m thirsty and hungry” the supposed mad man said, while on the floor.
“Water. Okay I’m coming. Tunde, close that gate” Kemi said as she got him water and the food she was supposed to break her fast with. After eating for sometime, he regained his strength and began to speak
“Ehe…. thank you for your water. I only asked for water and you add food join. Continue to do good o, because it will save you one of these days. And, be careful of unfriendly friends.” He said as he carried the bottle of water and found his way out of the compound, leaving Kemi dumbfounded…
