THE TRAVAILS OF JAMES GBENGA OLANIYI -Episode 6 of 6

EPISODE SIX


Rita was now 27 years old and I propose marriage to her and she accepted and her parent were really happy for they have been expecting this for a long time now. Mr. Ogah wanted my parent available for the marriage so, I took Rita with Edward and headed for Abuja.

10 years had passed since I saw my mum or even came to that area. But, I was able to locate the house but things were not as good as they used to be 10 years ago. Mr. Olaniyi had serious stroke and for five years now, his left side had been useless. The family was practically living off Nike who was now happily married with children. She was the only one who did not believe that I impregnated Vera and was so furious when she learnt what her father had done.

There was joy and sorrow at the same time on my mother’s heart as she narrated to me how Vera came to clear my name. Vera gave birth to a baby girl who fell ill two weeks later and needed blood transfusion which can only be given by the father or the baby will die and so Vera had to plead for blood transfusion from the real father of the child, her sister’s husband; the man we all thought was Vera’s father. And so the whole truth came out, Vera was impregnated by her sister’s husband and this made her sister really angry that she killed the man and was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Vera was then left alone with her sister’s children and hers so, she came to my mum and told her the truth before leaving for the village. My mum also told me how my real father now called Moses, came to her to plead for forgiveness for what he did years back and wanted to see me but there was no hope of seeing me as no one knows where I was or what had happened to me. She forgave him even Mr. Olaniyi also forgave him and they promised him to call him whenever I showed up. I also narrated to them all that happened to me, how Mr. Ogah became my father and took good care of me up to the level I was and now I want to marry his daughter. Two months later, Mr. Olaniyi recovered from his ailment.

A year passed, Rita and I got married. Our wedding was a remarkable one and never to be forgotten. Lots of friends and well-wishers were present and most of all I had three fathers on that day, Mr. Ogah, Mr. Olaniyi and Mr. Moses.
