Nothing to write….so
much to say…see my life….
Sister-in-law: Sykik,
come here, I want to talk to you
Sykik: Yes ma
SIL: Sykik, God
will answer our prayers in Jesus name. I was with my Baba Deji for seven years
before I got pregnant for him. I know what I went through, from one holy water
to another, from one mountain to another. What are you and your husband doing
about this thing? I hope you have both gone to the hospital…shebi you know this
our husbands don’t even want to imagine that anything is wrong with them…
Sykik (fidgeting on
her toes): Yes ma
SIL: ehn…ehn…sometimes
you need to leave all this big name hospitals you are going to , they collect plenty money and nothing to show for it, look for a
small by-the-corner-cheap one…… they are also very good oh.
Sykik: Yes ma…
SIL: Also, get
closer to your mother-in-law….you should take leave from your office, all this
work, work, travel today, travel tomorrow is not good. Take some weeks off and
go and cry to your mother-in-law…tell her “mummy, I am here”….. “What are you
doing about this my situation?”
Sykik: Huh…..
SIL: Yes oh…you
will tell her, mummy, you must do something oh….you can’t be watching me like
this
Sykik: Yes ma….ehhhmmm….my
Hubby is calling me…
SIL: ok. Oya, go
and come back quick
Abeg, my friends
what do you think….that I carried my two “tontinrin” leg back to continue the
monologue …mbanu
I can’t get over
myself with laughter ….please, make una helep me ask my sister-in-law, when my
mother-in-law started possessing pregnancy inducing powers.
-->My darlings, you should have seen the seriousness
on her face, no be small thing oh.
P.S.: I know she
means well and she wants me to join my mother-in-law in her “operation Sykik
must be pregnant praying mission”.
I am
not sad or crying oh…I am only sharing my day-to-day TCC experiences….. just maybe
someday, someone might read this blog , , realise someone also went through this phase
and soared above the tides
