THE BABY I NEVER HAD

-

 On the early morning of Saturday, around 7, I was snapped out of dreamland through a call from “Da baby”


She dourly said—Adesoji has beaten me again, I can't see clearly again, can you come and take me to a hospital? She added


Where is your husband? I requested and she replied he has left the house, leaving me with our only 🧒🏽 


Yea, I could hear her sound-cry reaching my heart like a flash...


Da baby was supposed to be my candy but her daddy frustrated my dream of marrying her till the end, I thought


I will come right away, I assured her my word


I quickly had a shower and drove out my old rugged bike, the only property I inherited from my father...


Da baby deserves smile not tears— I said with tears helping me to tell my pain



This damsel deserves best man...


She was compelled to marry a man her heart has never beat for...


There are many stars in the sky but she is the brightest...


She loves to call me Da bobo and I love to call her Da baby


Her father's message is still ringing in my head...


“You are not a man if you are not with a bag of mazuma”


Francis, Da baby's husband, is one of the sons of the renowned Senator Adefarati...



I am just a teacher, whose salary is never regular


I guess the ball of our love has been hijacked by the storm of wealth...



I was on a reckless ride of saving the woman my heart truly beats for and of course, I know her body is enveloped in the mansion of another man but her heart is very much encapsulated in my arms


Smile and tears were combating for the full expression of duties on my face...


On getting to her residence, I met Da baby gasping for air under the tutelage of pain and regret



Minutes later, Da baby kicked the bucket...


I placed my head on her chest to affirm my suspicions, this time my suspicions were right



I sat down crying and sweating profusely under the cool breeze of air conditioner...


I was down, talking to the lifeless body of Da-baby — I was trying to remind her of how we started...


In the midst of my apologetic mood, I heard the sound-cry of a baby traveling to the sitting room...


I traced the sound-cry to the master-room, there I met an infant hankering for the gentle touch of her mother, I guess


It's a pity, her mother has left this sinful world. I gently wrapped her around my arms and took her to the sitting room



She was an obvious replica of her mother...


I kept saying sorry to Da-baby.I knew she couldn't hear me but that was all I could do


All of a sudden, a figure suddenly materialized from nowhere, and base on my assessment, it was Adesoji, “the monster himself”


You have killed my love and what is my daughter doing in your hands? He retorted!

                     MY BEAUTIFUL ONYINYE Of course, I read about Esau that nearly betrayed his existence all in the name of hunger that could be quenched by a loaf of bread But I know of a young beautiful lady that is still standing even when the storm of life is still breathing pain around the wall of her breakthrough I know of a young beautiful lady that silently hides her pain inside her smile I have had an encounter with a young beautiful lady whose desire to be great is of no equal and  she wouldn't surrender into the arms of corruption in achieving that I have seen with my eyes how "my beautiful Onyinye" didn't surrender her glowing body into the arms of one ugly giant beast who promised her a record-breaking success It's impossible to believe the reality of the fact that Onyinye still shines in darkness despite the pain that life didn't forget to offer her How can I explain to the world that her beauty still glows brighter than the
