She kept to her phone as though she was married to it. Despite all her drama, I still did not compromise. I had made my decision and that was final.
I was going through my phone as I sat on the sofa in the living room days after the whole drama started when she dropped a sheet of paper on my lap. I wondered what it was and opened it slowly. I ran my eyes through quickly and discovered it was a lab test result for Amara. There it was, Amara was pregnant!
“Baby, wow….you’re pregnant?” I screamed excitedly and rose quickly giving her a warm hug. She remained still without uttering any word. I withdrew from her, looked straight into her eyes and tried to win her over with my gaze. She twisted her lips scornfully and turned away from me as she dropped another sheet on the centre table.
“Off to the saloon” The note read…
************************************
“Sir you would need to sign here” The sales assistant at the car dealer’s shop I got Amara’s new car from informed me.
I had left the house immediately Amara left for the saloon in order to get her a new car. I already knew the kind of car she wanted because she had once mentioned it to me that she would love to change to that particular spec peradventure she decides to go for a new car before she came out openly to make her request. I wanted her to be happy especially now that she was carrying our first child. I thought of going to surprise her at the saloon but I also reminded myself that she could have left the saloon already. Well, I finally made up my mind to check her up at the saloon before I go home. A driver was assigned to drive the new car behind me as I headed for the saloon.
When we got to the saloon, I saw her car at the parking lot. I asked the driver to park behind her car while I went in to fetch her. Amara was shocked to see me. The hair stylist making her hair greeted me while Amara kept looking at me.
“Sweetie what’s up, hope you’re cool?” I smiled ready to blow her mind away with the surprise
“Yeah, I am” She managed to answer
“I would love to show you something outside” I informed her
“You can see I’m making my hair, I can’t get up now” She replied
“Hmmm…baby I’m sure you would love what I want to show you” I said as I moved closer to her.
“I don’t want to waste her time, she has other people’s hair to make, I can’t be standing up and down” She snapped pointing at the stylist
“Haaaa…Aunty no problem, I will wait for you…you can go…nobody is waiting Ma” The stylist said
“Come on babes, please….just come and see” I begged
“Hmmmmm…okay...give me few minutes” She finally agreed
******************************
“This is your new car babes” I said as we got to the spot where the car was parked.
“I don’t understand…I thought you said…” I didn’t let her finish what she was about to say…
“Shhh…forget what I said babes…this is your new car”
“Oh my God….Obim you’re kidding …right? Her countenance changed immediately. I could tell she was excited already.
“No baby…I am not…here’s the key”
“Oh my Go-------d…..Jeez, I can’t believe it babes…this is the exact car I wanted” She ran around the car in a euphoric state
“I know baby and that’s why I got it for you” I said amidst laughter
“Obim…so you were joking all this while…oh men, stupid me…to think I stopped talking to you because of this…wow...Obim you are just too much” She hugged me tightly
“You’re my wife baby, the mother of my unborn child; I will do anything for you my Ammy”
"Awwwwww...Obim...now you are going to make me cry"
