The unimaginable was about to happen. I stood behind Patrick
and saw as mama entered the house and fell on her knees and started
apologizing. She started sobbing heavily
but we were told to leave her. She narrated the story of how they travelled for
consultations to put Patrick under her armpit. She doesn't want to loose
control over her son and that as a wife I was disturbing her. The confessions
went on and on. She also spoke about the pregnancy that was terminated in their
evil world………. And lastly the keke napep boys were her boys.
The whole plan was just her stage and everything was working
out well for her. I started crying also; not for mama but for all I’ve been
through in this short period of my marriage. All that was supposed to be
blessings came out in an opposite way. Baba consoled us and told us not to
permit her come close to us again. The way she feels now is temporal, he said.
When the spirit comes again, the envy arises.
We thanked Baba as he left. Mama left too and we entered and
thanked God. The next day my husband’s phone rang with an unknown number and
surprisingly it was mama. Patrick was sarcastic in response when he discovered
who it was but with what mama said sympathy has to be shown. She slumped
outside the gate but has been revived. When Patrick ended the call he was
contemplating either to go or not when his phone rang again. Baba was on the
phone and he said, that was the spirit again. We shouldn’t go anywhere. The
spirit of mother in law is an envy spirit. A spirit of jealousy and not letting
go. Now you can see why I said at the beginning of my story that to me Patrick
is an orphan. We are relocating to Canada where there is no mama…….
