WILL YOU MARRY MY HUSBAND (Episode 2)

“Oh wow” i said

i wasn’t expecting her to find out about us yet , i was shocked i mean how could she have used ray’s phone to call me; maybe she has finally found out.
Many thoughts came in i nearly forgot i was still on call.

“hello, hope am speaking to vivian” she asked

“yes…yes it’s me, please i’m…”

“it’s okay! she cut in and continued “just that this line has been calling his phone for sometime now that’s why i decided to know who it is”.

she didn’t even allow me to complete my words though i wanted to apologise i don’t know i was stucked, confused but when she said she doesn’t know who i was i felt relaxed, my nerves was calm atleast it wasn’t about my affair with her husband.

“uhmm i’m his cousin , yeah his cousin but he hasn’t been picking my calls for weeks now” i spoke like his cusin with confidence awaiting her response while standing;

“but ray has never spoke about you to me before uhmmm never knew he’s got another cousin that i know nothing about; so bad of him”

i was sweating profusely

“well maybe because we had a little misunderstanding but we have reconciled though i was living outside the country for quite some time but am back so i decided to let him know my arrival for like weeks now he wasn’t picking up his calls” i breathe in after speaking.

“you claim to be his cousin but refused to come and check him up in his home if he wasn’t picking your calls hmm well ray is in the hospital!”

“you say what?” i raised my voice
“what happened to him” i asked.

“well ray has been hospitalized, he survived a ghastly car accident. for like weeks now he’s still in coma”

i sat down on my bed i was shocked at such bad news.

“i’ve been with him through out but my work is really demanding, please grant me a favour by coming to take care of him, abi what are cousins for, atleast i’ll be relieved and will focus well in my work place please?”. she asked.

i couldn’t turn down such request because it’s about someone i loved

I accepted with full chest

“i’ll come, i mean if i don’t take care of him as my cousin who will?”

i was happy he survived it ; maybe i would had committed suicide if he had died i never saw myself with any other man apart from him but i was abit sceptical about everything. what if she was setting me up ?
but whatever it was, ray was worth the risk

“hello vivian…you’re not talking”

i was lost in thoughts but awaken by her voice.

she thanked me and hunged up the call , a few hour laters the she sent the hospital’s location to my inbox.

just then lilian came into my room and glanced at me smiling. she asked why i was smiling i told her everything.

“you’re just taking risk for nothing what if she wants to end your life at once, i pity you , you better leave that family alone leave that woman’s husband alone; go and get yours, you won’t listen . she said

“oh oh please stop! she hasn’t even found out she was only asking me to come and take care of him in the hospital. so my dear i’ve got to cook his favourite ” i smiled.
“uhhmm lilian baby would you mind joining me in the kitchen”
i walked to the kitchen with a smirk smile giggling.

I was in the kitchen preparing what i’ll take to the hospital, his favourite meal precisely.

Lilian walked in sluggishly
“vivian…don’t you think it’s high time you stop this, i mean you’re beautiful you can get any man you want stop hasing after someone’s husband ; can’t you see it’s wrong.

i stopped slicing the onions and turned to her

“lilian i can’t help it anymore seriously i don’t mind sharing him with his wife am his girlfriend he is my responsibility i should be there for him in times like this, he would have done same if i was hospitalized see my dear love conquers it all. i held lilian’s shoulder but she threw my hands away and pointed her fingers on me.

“you want to split that woman’s home right?” she looked mean

“Noo love i can’t do that, i’ll rather share” i giggled

she left me walked out of the kitchen like a soldier . i wasn’t moved though.

i quickly prepared then turned everything into the food flask and hurriedly left to refreshen up , wore my clothe just then a call came i picked upbehold it was my mom

“vivian how are you”

“mom am fine” squeezing my face because i knew she was about asking when i’ll bring a man home to show her.

“vivian you know i am getting old, i need grand children o..infact what are you doing in Akwaibom self they are fine akwaibom men all over choose one please . i think i’m coming over there very soon” she said

“Noo mom don’t come i’ll be busy i’ll relate to you when i’ll be free… please i’ll talk to you later am in a middle of something right now please bye”
“vivian i want grand children bring a decent man home”

“mom what if i’m pregnant without a man you go like am?”

“Godforbid i only wanted you to get a man that will marry you not getting pregnant out of wedlock”

i smiled

“okay man nodey yet when e dey i go let you know” i assured her then cut the call and headed out to the hospital happily (to be continued)
