Must Read: My Husband

?????????§?° tastes great.” Cynthia Olasupo said,enjoying the sweet
taste of fruit juice.she dropped the glass on the stool closest to
her.
Janet and Cynthia had become close friends over time,their
husbands were friends too.And just like family friends they
bonded quite easily.It was also A???? good idea to have A???? married
woman as friend.
“?»?·???·??????????????????????k?????????????·???·???«? to Nnamdi.” Jane laughed heartedly,she felt so
free with her friend.”He’s very good when it comes to fruit
mixing.”
Little Adora walked to her and insisted that Jane carry her,Adora
who celebrated her two years birthday of recent perched by
Jane.The Olasupo’s were very happy with their bundle of joy and
the baby served as A???? constant reminder of Jane’s failure.


“Come up here.” Jane lifted the baby and tipped. the glass of
drink into her mouth,she opened her mouth and finished the
drink.
“She loves taking drink.” Cynthia said.”And if you don’t take the
drink from her she won’t stop”
“I see.” Jane laughed.
Nnamdi informed them that lunch was ready and they trooped to
the dinning table.It was great as usual and they sat on the
leather couch conversing after eating.
“I hope Adora has not been troubling you of late” Jane asked.
Cynthia smiled,she was A???? beautiful woman and lively too.”She
has,but i have been mangaing.”
“Good for you my sister,how’s jaiye?”
“Hmm,he’s fine o.i’m just tired of his coming home late,its
gradually becoming an habit.”Cynthia sighed resting her hands
on her laps her eyes on baby adora who sat on the rug playing.
Jane thought for A???? while,”I’ll advice you to be patient with
him,you know how D?????????§???° men can be atimes.”




“What can i do than pray,i hope God answer me soon o”. Their
conversation was interrupted by Cynthia’s phone,it was her
mother on the line.
Jane eyed baby Adora wishing the baby was hers,she gently
tapped her stomach hoping it was listening to her.She just
couldn’t fathom the reason why her womb wasn’t fertile enough
to carry A???? baby.
“Jane !” Cynthia called,her voice A???? bit high.
“Hmm what? Are you done on the phone?” Jane stuttered.
“Yes,i ??·???·???????a????????????·???·????? done.” Cynthia said coming to sit by her.”And
i’ve been calling your name for the past 60secs.”
“I hope you have not been thinking again.” Cynthia asked holding
her friends hand.
“I have not.” Jane lied.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” She could feel the air disappearing from her lungs and the
tears very close to her eyes.”Cynthia my womb is dead and
you’re asking me not to get worried.” A???? tear streamed down her
cheeks.



Cynthia wiped Jane’s face.”I understand but i know your womb
is not dead,so stop crying,you should be glad that Jacob is not
even complaining,neither are his people.”
“Thank you,its just hard for me.”
“Is it because of Adora?”
“No no—no—“Jane quickly cleaned her tears.”I’m fine with
Adora and you know just how much i love her too.”
“Alright dear,hmm hmm that reminds me i saw your friend.”
Cynthia said.
“My friend? Who?”
“The one who was pregnant during your wedding.”
“That’s Ajoke,she didn’t tell she’s in town although she said
something about her husband planning to move somewhere
around here soon.”
“No,not that one,the slimmer one with the pale face….”Cynthia
picked her handbag and began to rummage through.”She gave
me her number to give to you.”
“Lucy?”
“Yes…lucy.”
“Oh my God.” Jane exclaimed.”You saw lucy,i really miss that
girl,let me have her number,i’m calling her right away.”
Jane dialled the number but it wasn’t going through.”I’ll try it
again later then.” She smiled,she was truly happy.




“We have to be on our way now.” Cynthia said.
“No way,you’re staying for dinner.” Jane said.
“I did promise,but i just remebered something i need to attend
to.”
Cynthia carried her bag while Jane carried baby Adora.she saw
them off to their car and waited for them to drive out before
rushing inside,she yanked open the sitting room door and made
for the nursery,scattering the neatly arranged cot,she knelt by it
and weeped.
…………….
Hannah picked the remote and changed the station,she was
wearing A???? blue top over black leggings,she sat on the couch in
the sitting room.She had just spoken to their mother over the
phone.
“I didn’t know you are here.” Adetoun said coming into the sitting
room.
“I just came in about an hour ago and you were sound asleep
inyour room then.” Hannah smiled,picking the remote to turn
down the volume of the Tv.
Adetoun sat on the couch opposite Hannah’s,she played with the
flower from the vase by the table.It was A???? mixture of bright
colours and it added glow and warmth to the room.
“Do you know Uchenna was here three times last week and twice
D?????????§???° past three days.”Adetoun said.
“Wow.” Hannah exclaimed,” He must be A???? very jobless man just
like me.”She laughed.
“You’re the only one who thinks that D?????????§° sounds funny,i don’t
see any harm in hearing him out Hanny.”
Hannah sat up to face her friend,” You’re A???? good orator dear,but
i’m not A???? willing listener so try the next house.”
“Uchenna is A???? cool guy.” Toun said
“So is Ade.”
“Point of correction dear sis,so was Ade.Because he’s now in
your past.”
“Hmm hmmm,whatever” she made the door sign with her right
hand,” i don’t like him,if you like him you’re free to go out with
him,i just hope Kelvin doesn’t scrape off his head anyway.”
Hannah responded.
“He brought us some groceries yesterday.”
“And did you accept it?”
Adetoun hesistated for A???? moment,”We did.”
“Good,because if he’s got money to dole out,we’re ready to
spend it.”Hannah laughed.”And please its enough,i’m enjoying
D?????????§ programme.”
“Hannah!” Rekia screamed as she rushed in.
Adetoun and Hannah jumped to their feet in fright.”What
happened?” They chorused.
Rekia stopped for A???? while to steady her breath,”Did you make
use of me email acct?” She asked raising her phone.
“Yes..yes..i did.” Hannah answered.
“Good because Almond group of companies sent in A???? mail asking
you to come on monday for your letter of appointment.”
“Wow.” The girls screamed and embraced each other.
