Story of a Survivor - Season 1 - Episode 48

final episode

After eating all of the food in her plate she left
the plate on the table and went to put on the
television, she sat watching.

I later took my dirty Clothes and captains to the laundry room; I put some Clothes into the
Washing machine and switched it on. As I turned to leave the laundry room she stood akimbo at
the door.

My heart skipped a little but I
summoned courage and advanced towards her, she looked about two to three years older than me, I am taller and slimmer.

She is a beautiful lady I must admit and she has a classy aura about her.

Excuse me please I said, she gave way and I
passed through. She trailed behind me; husband snatcher!

She called, I feigned deafness, I say
husband Snatcher! She shouted; I am talking to you!

Are you deaf? She continued; I kept quiet.

You think you can just crawl out from nowhere
and take what is mine? I am talking to you are
you deaf? You this omo Ibo jati jati! (Useless ibo girl).

Listen let me tell you! She said: I have
been Ayo’s wife right from our Child hood, Ayo is my first and only love, Ayo deflowered me!

No man has touched me in my entire Life except Ayo! He is my life so do not come in between us! You igbo people have given him that thing you call Kobnomi! But it won’t work! Since Ayo went to that Igbo land, he has lost focus; it is because of you that he forbade me from coming
to see him at Enugu!

Answer me! Can’t you talk? She was poking her fingers at my face. I prayed silently that she does not touch me; I don’t know how much more I could take. I was moving about doing chores and she followed me around shouting and cursing.

I just kept my face expressionless as I
continued with my work.

Granny came out and told her something in
Yoruba language, an argument ensued. After
some minutes Granny began to raise her voice at Dupe and pointing fingers at her face. Dupe started to cry; she knelt down and started to beg Granny but granny walked out on her back into her room.

She came back to me while wiping off
her tears and whispered; Look Omo Ibo! If
anything happens to my relationship with Ayo, I swear by my life you will feel my venom. I did
not bulge.

When the Family was complete at night Granny came and told Mummy and Daddy what transpired in the House between Dupe and me.

The only thing I could capture from what Granny said was; Omo dada ni Omo Ibo yi! (This Ibo Girl is a good girl).

Captain went mad with anger, he called her on
the phone and dared her to come to his house
again , he promised to shoot her if she ever
comes around him again. Mummy was also
visibly angry as she called Dupe’s Mother and told her to tell Dupe to stay clear of our house!

Yes our House! I dare to say.

That was the last I heard of Dupe! Or so I had
thought, I won the War, but I did not know that
the Battle was yet to be decided.

The Ife visit came to an end after eighteen days; we had planned to spend two weeks. But it was worth it.

Captain’s siblings Segun and Joke
visited briefly and went back to their businesses.

Segun is a manager at Zenith bank Asokoro
branch Abuja while Joke the last born is at Lagos business school lecturing; she has a Doctorate degree in philosophy. I was so comfortable with the family but I had an internal challenge; I need to go back to School so I can measure up in such a family of academia.

They thought I was in
U.N.N. so U.N.N I must go!

Our Car was filled with food stuff on our way
back from Ife, several friends and relatives
brought gifts of farm produce to me. We could
not carry all of the gifts.

watch out for season 2
