Shackles (Thirteen) 3
Days passed by and Kina's change in character shocked everyone especially her husband. She prepared meals for the household and did any other household chores she was first forced to do. Her husband sat on the sofa in his room trying to reflect on his life. Ever since the day he married Kina he had been having sleepless nights. He tried all means to be able to divorce her but to no avail. He thought sexually and physically abusing her will make her family members ask for divorce but it seems the constant money he gives them had blind folded them. There was something special about Kina that he couldn't figure out. The girl was very beautiful and looked older than a girl of thirteen. He wished he had listened to the old woman instead of his friends and the society. "I will do everything to divorce this girl",he thought. I am to old to be her father and I bear to be blamed if this girl's future is destroyed. "Agoo!",A knock on his door interrupted his thoughts.
Husband:Who's that?
First Wife:It's me.
Husband:Are you nameless?
First Wife:It's your first wife.
Husband:(laughing)Mrs. First wife, don't you have a name?Anyways come in.
First wife:(She entered the room trying not to shuffle. She couldn't bear to be laughed at that evening)My husband good evening.
Husband:My dear nothing is ever good about the evening. What brings you hear?
First wife: Let me go straight to the point.The old woman wants to see you. Nowadays she keeps mentioning Kina's name. Looks like a very big trouble is about to happen.
Husband:Ei women. I have heard you, you can leave.
As soon as she left he went out to ease himself when he heard to distinct voices. They sounded like his third and fourth wife.
Third wife:We must kill him
Fourth wife:Yes but how?
Third wife:Cheif has given us only two months and the days are moving fast.
Fourth wife:It's the old woman that keeps spoiling our plans. She seems to know everything.
He left there very shocked to hear his two wives plotting to kill him. These two women always fought causing chaos in his house each day little did he know that it was all part of the plans to kill him. "So Nana can speak good English ", he asked himself.He had married from the camp of his enemies. "Here I am married to not only an enemy but two"he let out.
