Along the road of life

Weird

Chapter 14

Maybe he's not that bad, maybe him raping Munira was a misunderstanding. But am living the life of a princess in this how even though he snatch my freedom, education, means of communication away from me. And yhu can't believe there is no TV in this house. He provide 3maids as promised, Asiya, Shafa atu and Gwoggo. Gwoggo was old but Asiya and Shafa are the same age as me. At least i have people to talk to.  There was a time they asked me about my marriage but Gwoggo stopped me from saying anything and said that anything behind my marriage should be a secret between the two of us. That the husband and wife should not allow anyone to come in between them.

"In our village, i was the most beautiful girl. All the guys want to marry me, i use to feel like a princess even though my father was just a farmer. Any man that come to seek for my hand was rejected by my mother. She had this motion that any man am to get married to must be handsome, rich, and won't just come to my father but try to win my heart. Finally i was in love with Abdullahi. He has all the qualities mama asked for and we were married within a month. We left for the city and we were in love but just 5months after the marriage he saw someone more beautiful and seek for her hand. I was jealous of course but i didn't say a thing and let him have his way. But the girl said she won't marry him if he has a wife. That call for war, we fight everyday and finally i give fight and he just divorce me. At 15 i was a divorcé. No one in my village wants to marry me again. So i just decide to do something with my life." Shafa said ending her story.

"Yhu really face so much at young age" i said to her

"People face there destiny Azeezah, everyone of us in this earth has his on test. Its either yhu accept and be patient  or try declining it but it'll still happen. Many of us have one problem or the other. Just because someone smile so radiantly doesn't mean he has made it in life. We all smile through so much pain, we accept, fight and struggle. That's what we do" Gwoggo said.

This woman made me feel like she's indirectly talking to me. But she just know the words to use all the time. And every time she talks is either stop yhu , or corrects yhu or preach to yhu.

"But Gwoggo, not everyone in the world is that strong" Asiya said
"I know that's why Allah don't test a soul beyond its ability" Gwoggo replied

"Azeezah" Osman called out making me inwardly groan.

"Yes" i answered walking towards him.
"Get ready by 3:30pm yhu are going to be introduce to my family"

"Woah, yhu have family?" I asked
"Who don't have one. Don't get ahead of yourself. My family are 10times worse than me, yhu better behave and get ready in time if yhu don't want to be on their bad side" he walked away.

I actually didn't expect this but then i never thought of my in-laws. If he says they are worst than him then girl i better hurry cause the last thing i want is having worst Osman like after my poor misery life. I already have enough, they should let me rest.

I'll be the most person on earth to see him tense and somehow sacred but that's in other situation. How can someone be sacred of his family this much.

"Please behave, don't call anyone's attention. If they like yhu then maybe they'll be a little bit nice. If they don't then believe me even the person in hell right now will be more in peace than yhu." He said as he horn. The gate was open, the house was the kind yhu see in movies. We get out of the car and walked in while i was silently praying that everything go smoothly.

"Good afternoon momma " Osman  greet the lady who seems to be at her late 40s and did the same as he did. She just stare at the two of us making me more nervous that i am not.
"Um" she said and walked away. What have i put my life into?
