WIFE MATERIAL

Episode 20

Since Amara had stopped going to work, she managed herself and her baby from the money that her husband gave her for their upkeep. She had cut some of the expenses she deemed unnecessary.

She solely depends on what her husband gives her and won’t demand more. She had stopped making expensive hairstyles. Her regular hairstyle was cornrows because she was always within her neighbourhood.

She was becoming a different person, but she wasn’t bothered because her husband wasn’t complaining about her looks.

So one day a friend sent her an invitation card for her wedding. She needed to look her best as a married woman but didn’t have enough money to achieve it.

She then decided to ask her husband for the money when he came back from work.

Later in the evening, Amara and her husband were in the living room watching a television show and discussing.

“Baby, please, I need money to make my hair. A friend sent me an invitation card,” Amara said.

“Which friend and where is the wedding taking place?”

“My childhood friend. The venue is just within this town, at Andrew Multipurpose Hall, GRA. Let me show you the IV,” Amara said as she searched through her phone for the picture.

She saw the picture and gave the phone to her husband.

He collected the phone.

“Ok,” he said after going through the invitation card.

“I know that I was supposed to have given you money after the last one, but please, you need to exercise patience. You know this is the month’s end and I paid my employees yesterday. I am currently out of cash,” Ikenna said.

“Okay, no problem. I have a wig that I’ll use.”

“Thanks so much for your understanding, I’ll give you the money as soon as they come.”

“Alright, no problem.”

They continued their other discussions afterwards.

A few days later, Sandra requested that Ikenna should come over to her place.

So Ikenna made it a point of duty, he finished his work earlier and towards the close of work, he left the office.

He then drove off to Sandra’s house.

Some minutes later, he got to Sandra’s house, and she welcomed him.

Sandra brought a bottle of alco.holic wine and a glass cup. She opened the wine bottle, poured some quantity into the glass cup, and gave it to him.

He collected and started sipping.

“Ike, I miss you all the time,” Sandra said.

“But we usually see each other almost every day.”

“That’s not enough. You have never slept over in my house.”

“You know I can’t do that now.”

“No problem, I want to make a video of us together so that whenever I miss you too much, I’ll watch the video and I’ll be happy.”

“That’s a nice idea, we will do that.”

Later on, when Ikenna was done with his drink, both of them went into the bedroom, and their activity there was recorded.

Ikenna left afterwards.

Later that evening, Amara was at home waiting for her husband to return. She had finished preparing the dinner and had bathed her baby, who was already fast asleep.

Suddenly, a WhatsApp message entered. She picked up her phone to view the message.

“Hmmm, Sandra. She remembered me today after a long time. What’s in this video she sent?”

She then clicked the video to open it. As it was downloading, another message from Sandra entered.

The video had opened, and Amara was shocked at what she was seeing.

“Jesus! My husband! What did I just see? Wait! My husband, in bed with Sandra! I don’t think it’s real. Maybe it’s photoshopped.”

She then opened it again and saw the message which read: I know you have seen the video, and we are back together. Ikenna is mine forever. Watch closely, and you will see that I’m pregnant. I am carrying his baby. He spends most of his time with me. He is just leaving my house now. Bye.

“Oh my God! Am I dreaming? This is unbelievable, Sandra, pregnant with my husband. So the video wasn’t photoshopped. I trusted my husband. How could he do this to me,” she said and started shedding tears.

She cried for some minutes and wiped her tears.

“But why would she send me this type of video? I’ve been suspecting them quite right, but did she plan with my husband before sending it to me? Does my husband want me out of the house, or maybe she wants me to pack out of my husband’s house? I will pretend I didn’t see the message, I’ll get to the root of this.”

As she was talking to herself, the doorbell rang, and she went and opened the door. It was her husband. She tried as much as she could to make sure her husband didn’t notice her mood, but it seemed he knew her so well.

Immediately he entered, he looked into her eyes.

“Did you leave the house?” Ikenna asked.

“No.”

“Is Junior okay?”

“Yes.”

“What is happening to you? Have you been crying?”

“No, oo, I’m fine.”

“Hope there’s no problem.”

“There’s no problem,” she said as she carried his bag into the bedroom.

Later on, she served his food at the dining table.

He went to eat but she didn’t join him.

Amara wanted to pretend like nothing happened, but she couldn’t help it. Her husband’s presence irr.itated her.

She went into the bedroom and lay as if she was sleeping.

Ikenna was beginning to feel that she was keeping something from him. He couldn’t concentrate. He ate a little food and covered the plate.

He then went to bed and was still thinking about why his wife was behaving strangely.
