Must Read: My Husband

Jane was glad the day was finally over.She had yam and fish
stew for dinner.The event of the past few days flashed in her
memory.
She had explained to Jacob how sad she was when she learn’t of
Pero’s baby.She came home that night trying to hide the
truth.Her sisters soon suspected her foul mood anyway.
She was left with no choice than to confide in them,by morning
the girls came up with the idea.The girls were the brain behind it
all.Pero fell for the money and busted Katherine.
Jacob felt happiness in him,when she shed light on the
issue,though she was afraid at first,she was able to pull
through.He came clean about all that happened with Katherine
while she was dating Jane,Jane was a bit suprised,she wished
she could be bold enough to tell about d!ckson,her NYSC
foolishness.Jacob had taken the girls for a special treat the next
day.
She was glad,she was home now.Jacob had gotten all the
necessary papers and document for their travelling within the
space of three days.


They were scheduled to leave on Thursday for their shopping,her
dreams were finally becoming a reality.
She was already dozing when Jacob called in,he apologised for
what he did in the afternoon,and promised to make it up to
her.He explained that he wanted the best for her.Not quite
long,an unknown call came through.she picked it on the third
ring.It was Lucy calling,she had been admitted in the hospital
five days after her final paper.
Lucy had revealed that,she had a little misunderstanding with
Taliroyce,and he got furious,at the end of the minidrama.She got
into the hospital,she was eight months gone already.
The doctor warned that,should be beaten again,she might not
survive the child birth.This had sent a chill down her spine.She
shuddered at the thought of losing her friend.
Her parents were making matters worse for her,they distanced
themself from her.And she was still hiding her baby’s father
identity from her brother.Not wanting her brother’s to get
violent,should it get to their ears of how Tali treats their kid
sister.
Only Jane who knew he was,and she was even prevented from
speaking to him.When Lucy dropped the call at some minutes
past one o’clock.


She was tired and her eyes were teary,it hurt to know that Lucy
was making her useless.The poor girl needed help now than
ever,at least someone to console and strengthen her.
She would be discharged on the morrow..
Isn’t it absurd,Lucy was crazy in love with Tali,a man that beats
her.She was forced to close her eyes when the strong arms of
sleep gnawed at her eyelids.
When a debtor postpones his day of payment,don’t worry that
day would soon come.
Such was the case of Jane’s wedding,oh the wedding is 6weeks
away,oh its three weeks away.And finally its here just two days
away.
Their trip for their wedding shopping was
successful,Ajoke,Cynthia and Jane had gone on another
shopping session to make sure all was intact.
She and Jacob united their love again,casting away all grudges
to make their day a colourful one.
Since her return,she had been a regular caller at the spa,Funmi
ensured that,she was given a full body treatment,her eyes,nose
hands,fingers,toes,necks,legs and every visible part of her
body,was washed with various kinds of ointment and
cleansers.She had enjoyed being immersed in water with sweet
scenting oils and cleanser but she got tired when the session
was growing endless.
Adetoun and Hannah would tease her non stop,that she would
soon become a mermaid but encouraged her to do Funmi’s
biding.She remembered the day her dress was brought home.


The girls screamed non stop,Toun continued to stare at the gown
in awe.Even Funmi was pleased with the style and design.She
had arrived home one evening to catch Hannah wearing it,she
forgave her sister knowing she was merely excited and happy for
her.



Adetoun agreed to best her after so many persuassions from
Hannah and Jacob.Jane was lucky to have two pregnant ladies
as her lady in wardrobe,Jaiye’s wife Cynthia had insisted she
would partake too.And three of her trusted beautiful female
workers would be among the bride’s maid.
All the dresses and shoes were settled.She had even parked most
of her things,Jacob had refused toodisclose where they would be
having their honeymoon.Jane was content to enjoy the surprise
anyway.
Funmi and Biola were planning it,working more than the event
planner Jackie.All the designs for the cake and dishes were
choosen.
Kenneth was there to give her moral support and was ready to
bear every expenses put to him.
Jane checked herself in the mirror,she loved the lady she
saw.Fastening the tiny gold necklace to her smooth neck.she
smiled to herself.
Tonight was their grand party,Jacob’s friend had planned it for
them,most of his friends and few close associates would be
coming too.So she had to look her best and make Jacob proud.




Hannah and Adetoun were dressed up too,they would be leaving
for the party anytime soon.
…………….
The wall clock struck twelve midnight,Jane looked around,her
disorganised room was evidence of her wedding taking place
soon.She was supposed to be sleeping,tomorrow evening was
her engagement ceremony.
Ajoke and Cynthia would be there to help her dress.She wasn’t
too sure about Lucy.But..she hoped she would be able to make
it.
Her mind glided to the episode at Katherine’s house,what if she
had died?what if Amaka had died?what if..?
There was so many what ifs running through her mind,she was
nervous,anxious at the same time.She hoped nothing would
destroy her day.
She had become worried,when she learnt that Katherine had been
released on bail of five million.She picked her bible and prayed.
That seemed to comfort her,she reminisce the event of the last
evening.She had mesmerised everyone at the party,in her red
daring crazy gown coutsey of Jacob.He had bought it specially
for her.


He almost went crazy when she emerged in it,he had eyes for her
only.She prayed those cute eyes,and s*xy** lips would forever
remain hers,no matter what turbulent water they encountered.
This night,all her doubts had been erased about the
marriage.She would be getting married to Jacob Smith,every
other person,can get a map,find a car and drive to hell.She fell
asleep with a beautiful smile on her face.

Jane examined herself in the mirror over again,the young woman
standing beside her who happens to be the make up artist
smiled.She wanted to be sure she looked good.
The artist smiled again,Jane took her seat on the bed sipping the
glass of warm milk carefully so as not to ruin her lip gloss.she
placed the glass down on the table.
”Iyawo drink up,its almost time.”Ajoke walked in,wearing a wine
satin gown that fitted her perfectly,her potruding belly helped fill
up the space of the material.she sat by Jane adjusting her veil.
”Green will you drink some milk?”Jane asked Green,her little
beautiful cousin,she was just two and half years,but she was
smart and preety.She was a product of the union of her mother’s
younger sister and her doctor hubby.




”No,aunt Jane,i’m full,but i don’t mind a pack of juice.” her little
voice sounded cool and firm.There’s this funny air about the
small girl. Jane’s aunt had warned her that Green could be a
pain in the neck anyway.
Jane loved the little girl,she wanted to have kids too,as much as
five.She smiled as Lucy handed her a glass of juice.
Jane looked at her well painted fingers,she had thought the
engagement party would never end.Jackie played her several
videos of engagement and Cynthia,Jaiye’s wife helped Jane
choose one.Jane was a bad one on the dance floor,so in the
morning Hannah and Ajoke and Cynthia had put her through
some nice steps.
She put those practice to good use,last evening.It seemed it
wouldn’t come to an end,with the series of kneeling and
embracing,dancing and singing.Her feet hurt because of the
heels,Adetoun helped her massage her legs.Thanks to those
miracle pills Ajoke gave to her,she woke up hale and hearty this
morning.



The make up artist took a lot of time,she insisted that she didn’t
want an eye lashes fixed,the artist informed Jackie who spoke
with Jane to allow the artist do her job.Her face was cleaned and
painted nicely.
Then she moved on to make little Green’s hair and powder her
face.Her white gown was a miniature of Jane’s.
The Ac was high because,the artist insisted that Jane needed to
look fresh.”You have to finish that,so that i can get you
more.”Ajoke said,while fitting Jane’s sequin embellished peep
toe bootie.


The door opened and Hannah walked in,s*xy** was to say the
least,she looked good in her pink floor lenght pisa gown.Her face
and hair was rolled up and curled dropping to her face curtesy of
the artist.”Mother called,she asked if we are on the way
already.”
”We’re ready.”Lucy said,fastening a necklace on,she looked a bit
weak,but she was steady,she wore the same gown as Ajoke and
Cynthia.




Jane looked around her and bristled with laughter,”Whats funny
sis?”
”I’m just happy that i’m surrounded by kids.”she said.
”Kids?”Ajoke asked.
”They’re all cute and i can’t wait to have five of mine”Jane
smiled pointing at Lucy and Ajoke’s potruding belly.Every one
rattled with laughter.
The three other girls were ready too,adorned in pink floor length
pisa gown just as Hannah.
”All is done now.”The artist certified her perfect after taking
several shots of her.
”Jacob just called,they’re leaving home already,on their way to
church.”Adetoun said coming in,her creamy white gown clung to
her beautiful body.
”I hope we didn’t forgot a thing.”Jane said standing on her
feet.She was just perfect,as she spoke her eyelashes fluterred
giving her that s*xy** look.
”No.”
Lucy led a short prayer…..Jane led the way to the car,followed
by Green and Adetoun,the others trailed behind them.
The cars were decorated with the wedding theme blue and
pink,the drivers were waiting already.Adetoun helped Jane into
the back seat,and sat with her,while Green the little bride sat in
the front seat.



The others filed into the two other cars and the drive began.
