[STORY] MY INFERIOR HUSBAND (Episode 19)

Episode 19.

The curious part of me overshadowed me and I decided to see Ikechukwu’s mother as she proposed. I wanted to go with my mom and Elijah but my mother was just angry and told me I could not take Elijah with me. I was angry with my mom for refusing to go with me as I was afraid of going alone.

Ikechukwu still called on daily basis to ask after my son which I only picked when I felt like as I was not obliged to him anymore.

I was still without any source of income as I was still breastfeeding my baby and this restricted me from staying long from my baby even though my mom was there with me.

The day came and I went to Ikechukwu’s parents house and was welcomed even though I could sense they were disappointed. I was later asked why I did not bring my son while coming as they wanted to see him and not me. I just laughed and told them he was my son and anyone interested in my seed should also be interested in the tree.

I was served but I refused to eat as I could not trust them . it was after the lunch that I was told the main reason I was invited.

Ikechukwu’s mother told me I should give over my son to them once he was six months and I would in return been given money and a good job while I would never see my son again. They told me they wanted to give my son a better life than I could ever give him. I was confused if I should agree or not as I was without any income to take care of him and he could be an obstacle to me getting a man to marry me as it was a different thing to be a single mother and another with the child living with her.

I also thought he would been given a better life than I could like they said but I could not afford not to see my son again after all the pain and suffering I went through.

I did not know the answer to give but I told them I was going and would give them a feedback when I am ready but for now my answer was ‘No’

I got home and was surprised to see my son crying even though my mom tried all her best to stop him but it was all futile. I had to collect him and pet him before he could stop. I wondered if he knew I was confused and could give him out anytime and that was why he was crying bitterly.
My mother asked me how the outcome of where I went to went and I told her all I was told.

My mother was angry and disappointed with me at the same time and told me she wondered if she actually was my mother as I was a mother without mother’s feeling. She told me I should never give my son out as she would disown me if I should try anything stupid with her Elijah. My mother was actually fond of my son and would call him ‘My Elijah’.

I had to voice out all my pain and fear of keeping Elijah to myself. She was disappointed and told me all I said was a pointless reason to give my son out forever without me ever going to see him. She told me she was going to take Elijah with her once she was going as she could not trust me. I knew the decision of giving him out was bad but I also have a life to live.

Ikechukwu and his mother would constantly called me and asked about my decision and I would tell them they should wait till he was six months.

I noticed my mother was drawing Elijah to herself most of the time and would only give me when he was hungry but I could not think of any reason for her action.

Elijah got so fond of my mother and would always cry when he could not see my mom. I was still thinking of either keeping him or giving him out. My mother stopped advising me and told me I should do what I wanted as she saw I was not ready to comply with her advise.

Six months came and Ikechukwu’s mother called me to remind me it was six months already and they were ready to take Elijah from me ,I could not give them Elijah as I had come to loved him and could not afford to lost him. I decided to go and meet them to tell them about my decision.
I knew my mother had stop talking to me as she feared I could actually give him up but I could not tell her my mother instinct was already working.

Elijah had gone so fond of my mother than I and would always be with my mother. The only connection I had with him was breastfeeding as my mother ensured he was always with her.

I decided to visit Ikechukwu’s mother after I remembered all the pain she made me pass through and was so responsible for Ikechukwu inability to marry me. I knew she was did not deserved to have the custody of my son . I could give him the very best of life if I was ready to pick the pieces of my life and start afresh. I could not afford breaking my son’s little heart after the lack of love I showed him. I deserved him more. This was all my thoughts as I could not sleep all through the night.

I woke up the next day only to find my son and my mother missing. I tried to call my mother and tell her I was not ready to give him up again but she would not pick . I was angry and happy at the same time,on a second thought I was afraid that something bad might have happened to them.
