Stand By Me - Season 2 - Episode 2

continue from the last scene

Kola was angry why his father still needed to see us, but I pleased will go see him, we went to his house, so guest were still around celebrating. He took us one side and came us a flight ticket to travel to Canada for our honeymoon, i was shocked, I guess kola was too because his mouth was wild open, we were to travel the next day. We thanked him and went home.

Kola and I took our bath separately I was kinda shy, as a new couple we weren’t in a hurry to do anything, we played music and dance, every step we took kola will place a kiss on my neck and whisper “I love you baby “in my ear. We had a romantic night, it was my first experiences but kola did a nice job by treating me gentle and romantically.

The next day we went for our honeymoon, here is the thing when a woman say ‘I do’ the next thing people are expecting is children, anything less than that the woman is ‘tag’ as being barren.

The first year into our marriage was fun, sweet, romantic great. My husband doesn’t drink, womanize or even keep late night, and whenever he was at home he helps me in doing the house chores. I was the lucky woman on earth what more could one ask for? But I wasn’t happy, a year after my marriage and I haven’t even had a miscarriage. I was really sad, broken but anytime I talk to kola about it he will tell me “God’s time is the best” and that will give me a little hope.

Three years has gone now, and yet I’m not pregnant ‘God what’s happening, why me God, who have I offended”

Kola and I have visited almost all the hospital in Lagos and outside yet no good result they all said “you people are perfectly ok” but how can we be perfectly ok yet no good result to show for it, it won’t be long before my in-laws start hating me.

One night I couldn’t sleep, my heart was heavy I was so worried, my mother had me but why I’m I not having my own God “what have I done to deserve this kind of pain” I cried bitterly that night, my cry woke kola from sleep.

KOLA
Baby, you are still awake? What’s on your mind?

RITA
How can I sleep, when I can not give you children (tears still flowing down)

KOLA
Not again baby, I thought we have talked about this? God’s time is the best baby.

RITA
Kola, I’m beginning to doubt if that God truly exist.

KOLA
Don’t Blast flame against the holy spirit, it’s just a matter of time, we will get through this ok? (he kissed my forehead)i promise you ok?

RITA
You think so?
