Bad Influence: Episode 3: The Price of Pleasure

Fikky and Judi were back to their old ways. It was like nothing had ever changed. They laughed loudly, painted their nails, wore short skirts, and spent time with different boys—mostly the workers from the nearby building site. Some were bricklayers, some were electricians, and a few even claimed they had "big connections" in town.

Every day after school, Fikky and Judi would sneak out to meet the boys. The boys bought them shawarma, gave them airtime, and even sent money once in a while. Sometimes, they would lie to their parents and say they were going for school lessons, but instead, they went to cheap lodges.

To them, it was fun. They felt admired, respected, and grown-up.

But the fun didn’t last long.

One Saturday morning, Judi woke up with serious itching. She scratched and scratched but the itching didn’t stop. Then small rashes appeared on her thighs and lower stomach. She ignored them at first, thinking it was heat. But by the third day, she had painful sores and could barely sit.

She stopped going out. She told Fikky she had malaria, but Fikky didn’t believe her.

One day, Judi told her aunt that she wanted to visit a friend in the next town. Instead, she went to a small clinic far from their area, hoping no one would recognize her.

The nurse ran some tests and gave her the result: she had an STD.

Judi’s heart broke into pieces. She couldn’t speak. She looked at the paper in her hand and felt like disappearing. The nurse tried to comfort her and gave her some drugs.

Judi didn’t tell anyone. Not even Fikky.

She returned home and acted like nothing happened. But she became quiet. She no longer laughed loudly. She stayed indoors more often. She took her drugs in secret and cried silently at night.

While Judi was battling with her own secret, Fikky started noticing something strange about herself.

She felt tired every morning. Her body felt heavier. Then she missed her period.

She told herself it was stress.

But when a second week passed, and then a third, she began to panic. Her heart beat faster every time she checked the calendar.

One day after school, she sneaked out to a chemist and bought a pregnancy test kit. She went home, locked herself in the toilet, and followed the instructions carefully.

She waited.

Her hands were shaking.

The result showed two lines.

Positive.

Fikky screamed, but quickly covered her mouth. Her heart was racing. Her eyes were filled with tears.

“No, no, no,” she whispered.

She sat on the floor and cried for a long time.

When she finally calmed down, she began to ask herself a painful question.

“Who is the father?”

It was the hardest question in the world.

She had been with too many boys. There was the one who gave her a wristwatch. Another one who used to buy her suya. One promised to take her to Lagos. All of them were part of her past—but now, none of them mattered.

One by one, she tried to reach them.

Some didn’t pick up.

Some picked and hung up immediately.

One said, “Are you mad? Don’t ever call me again.”

Another said, “Pregnant? With whose child? No be only me you dey follow.”

Some blocked her completely.

Fikky was shattered.

She sat in her room, hugged her pillow, and cried until her face was swollen. Her mother knocked on the door, asking if she was okay. Fikky lied and said she had a headache.

Her whole world felt like it was falling apart.

She wanted to run. She wanted to scream. But she didn’t know where to go.

Her secret was growing inside her, and there was no one to turn to.

Judi still didn’t know about the pregnancy, and Fikky still didn’t know about Judi’s sickness.

Both girls were drowning silently in their own pain.

The price of pleasure had come—and it was heavier than they could carry.

Moral Lessons:

1. Every action has consequences. What seems like fun today can become pain tomorrow.

2. Quick pleasures often lead to long-term regrets.

3. When we hide our mistakes, we carry the burden alone.

4. Not everyone who gives you gifts truly cares about your future.

5. Real friends look out for your safety, not just your happiness.

6. Your body is not a game. Protect it. Respect it.

7. A moment of truth is better than a lifetime of hiding.

Bad Influence: Episode 2: Fikky’s Inner Battle

It was a quiet Sunday evening. The sun was slowly going down, and the sky was turning orange. Fikky sat alone in her small room. A small mirror stood on her wooden table, and she stared at herself in it. She was wearing a beautiful gown, the kind that could turn heads. It had shiny stones on the neckline and hugged her body just right. It was a gift from one of the construction workers she had been seeing.

She touched the dress slowly with her fingers. It was beautiful, but it didn’t bring her joy. As she looked deeper into her reflection, her heart began to feel heavy. Suddenly, her mother’s voice echoed in her mind.

“Fikayo, always do what glorifies God. Never bring shame to our name.”

Tears formed in her eyes. She looked away from the mirror. The room felt colder than usual. She felt guilt, fear, and confusion all at once. She had lied too many times. Lied about going to school. Lied about where she spent her weekends. Lied about the money and the gifts. She had missed so many classes that her teachers had stopped asking about her.

She had changed. Deep inside, she knew this was not the life she wanted. She didn’t feel like herself anymore. That night, she sat on her bed for a long time, thinking.

Later that night, she met Judi outside near the roadside kiosk where they often bought fried yam. The streetlight was dim, and people walked past them without noticing.

“I want to stop,” Fikky said softly.

Judi looked at her with surprise. “Stop what?”

“This life. Sneaking out. Hanging with those men. It scares me now. What if we get pregnant? What if we catch something we can’t treat?”

Judi laughed loudly. She bent over and clapped her hands.

“Fikky, you’re too young to start sounding like your mother. We’re just enjoying life. Nothing will happen. Don’t think too much. You want to start going back to church choir like those old mamas? Abeg, relax.”

Fikky forced a smile but didn’t reply. Her heart still felt heavy. She didn’t argue. She just nodded and left for home.

The next day, she decided to take a bold step. She didn’t wait for Judi. She went straight to school and stayed in class the whole day. It felt strange, but also peaceful. She stopped sneaking out. She told her mother she wanted to start going back to church choir practice. Her parents were surprised but happy. Her father even prayed for her one evening, laying his hands on her head and blessing her.

Fikky started trying again. She carried her school books and sat in front in class. She answered questions and even joined the school debate club. Her teachers smiled when they saw her taking her education seriously again.

But things were different.

She no longer had the nice clothes she used to wear. She didn’t have money to buy meat pie or chilled drinks like before. Her hair was not styled in fancy braids. She started wearing her old school shoes again. People noticed.

Her classmates whispered behind her back. Some laughed when they saw her simple look.

“See Fikky. Her shine has finished.”

“She no longer follows fine boys again o.”

Even Judi noticed the change. One afternoon, she passed by Fikky without saying hello. Judi was wearing a new top and had fresh lip gloss on. She was with two construction workers, laughing and holding a takeaway pack.

Fikky pretended not to see her. She continued walking home slowly. Her heart was full. Not with joy, but with sadness. She felt lonely. She had lost the attention she once had. The boys no longer called her. The other girls in the village now ignored her.

At night, she would lie in bed staring at the ceiling, wondering if she had made the right choice. Yes, she was no longer living in fear, but now she felt invisible. She didn’t know what to do. She was caught between choosing peace and choosing popularity.

Days turned into weeks. One afternoon after school, Fikky sat alone by the roadside under the mango tree near their school. Her tummy growled with hunger. She hadn’t eaten since morning. Her mother had gone to the market and couldn’t leave money at home.

She watched other girls pass by, laughing and holding gala and soft drinks. Some of them were friends with Judi now. They waved at Fikky but didn’t stop to talk. She felt completely left out.

She checked her pocket. Nothing. Not even enough to buy groundnuts.

As she sat there, hungry and tired, her thoughts returned to Judi.

“At least when I followed Judi, I had things. I had food. I had clothes. I had people who liked me.”

She tried to shake off the thoughts, but they stayed.

She closed her eyes and whispered, “I’m tired of suffering. Let me just go back.”

That evening, she walked straight to Judi’s house. Judi was happy to see her.

“Ah ah! My friend is back. I knew you would return. Hunger is a strong teacher.”

They laughed. Fikky didn’t say much. She just sat beside Judi, and together, they planned to go out the next day.

Fikky didn’t feel proud. She felt weak. But she wanted to feel wanted again. She wanted the world to notice her again. She didn’t know she was slowly walking into a deeper trouble.

Moral Lessons:

1. Choosing the right path is not always easy, but it is always worth it.

2. True peace comes when you do what is right, even if no one claps for you.

3. Friends who don’t support your good decisions are not real friends.

4. Being popular is not more important than being responsible.

5. It’s okay to feel lonely for a while when doing the right thing. Better days will come.

6. Temptation often comes when you are hungry, tired, or feeling low—learn to stay strong.

Bad Influence: Episode 1: Judi and Fikky – A Tale of Two Secondary school Friends

Judith lived in a small but popular village where everyone knew each other. Her friends called her Judi. She was raised by her grandparents, who were very rich. They lived in a big house, had cars, and enough money to live comfortably. But Judi’s grandparents did not pay much attention to her. They gave her whatever she asked for, but they never sat her down to guide or correct her. They were too busy with their businesses and left Judi to do whatever she liked.

As a little girl, Judi always got what she wanted. If she wanted a phone, she got it. If she wanted a new dress, it was delivered. She grew up knowing how to demand but never how to obey. She had no rules, no discipline, and no care. By the time she entered Senior Secondary School, she had become wild. She hardly stayed in class, and no teacher could control her.

Judi started sneaking out of school during lesson time. Sometimes she would tell the school gatekeeper that her grandparents were sick, and she needed to go home. Other times, she would climb the school fence or sneak out through the back gate. She did this many times just to go and visit her boyfriends in the village.

Judi had many boyfriends. Most of them were older boys who gave her money, gifts, and expensive snacks. Some were okada riders, some were tailors, and others were just jobless men who had sweet words and knew how to dress well. She liked the attention and always made sure she looked very fine.

One day, a girl named Fikayo joined her class. Fikayo was calm, soft-spoken, and always respectful. Everyone called her Fikky. Her parents were not rich like Judi’s grandparents. In fact, her family was struggling to survive. Her father was a pastor in one of the biggest churches in the village. Her mother sold palm oil in front of their house to support the family.

Fikky’s life was full of rules. She had to wake up early to pray with her parents. She couldn’t wear trousers. She had to attend Bible study and Sunday school. At first, Fikky did not understand why Judi was always popular in school. She wondered why everyone wanted to talk to Judi. Judi had long eyelashes, shining lip gloss, and new clothes almost every day.

One morning, Fikky forgot her pen at home. When she asked her seatmate for help, Judi overheard and gave her a brand-new pen from her bag.

“You can keep it,” Judi said with a smile. “I have plenty.”

Fikky was surprised and thankful. From that day, they began to talk more often. Judi started telling Fikky jokes and sharing snacks with her. Before long, they became friends.

Fikky had never had a friend like Judi. Judi was bold, outspoken, and had so many stories to tell about boys, outings, and fashion. Fikky enjoyed being around her. She felt cool and special whenever she was seen with Judi. She started changing little by little.

At first, she would only skip one or two classes to stay with Judi. Then she began lying to her parents that she had extra lessons, when she was really hanging out at a roadside kiosk with boys and Judi. Sometimes, she would leave home early and wait for Judi so they could sneak out together.

The village started changing too. The government began building a big estate project in the area. They were constructing 400 flats meant for tourists and staff who worked at the new railway station that had been built close to the village. Because of this, many construction workers were brought into the village. These workers were young men from different parts of the country. They had energy, new clothes, and cash to spend.

Judi saw this as a great opportunity. She started making friends with the workers, and soon, they were buying her food, clothes, and phone credit. She introduced Fikky to the men too. Fikky was shy at first, but when one of the workers bought her meat pie and malt just after meeting her, she began to loosen up.

Before long, both girls were spending their school days and weekends around the construction site. They laughed, played, and dated many of the young men who worked there. These men would give them small money, which they used to buy new bags, slippers, and hair attachments.

Everyone in the village started talking about Judi and Fikky. They became the most admired girls in the area. Other schoolgirls wished they could be like them. Mothers warned their daughters to stay away from them. But Judi and Fikky didn’t care. They believed they were living their best life.

Judi loved the attention. She would say, “Let them talk. They wish they were us.”

Fikky still had a small voice in her heart that sometimes warned her. She would hear her mother’s words in her head, “You are a child of God. Don’t let the world change who you are.” But each time she thought of stopping, Judi would make her feel like she was missing out.

“Fikky,” Judi said one day, “you’re too pretty to be boring. Life is short. Enjoy it.”

Fikky smiled and followed her again.

The more time they spent with the boys at the construction site, the less time they spent in school. Their grades dropped. Their teachers gave up on them. Their classmates stopped taking them seriously. But they didn’t care. As long as they had boys to give them gifts and people in the village to admire them, nothing else mattered.

One Saturday, while they were walking down the road in fine clothes and makeup, some younger girls clapped for them.

“Wow, see fine girls,” one of them said. “I want to be like you when I grow up.”

Judi smiled proudly. Fikky laughed nervously.

But deep down, Fikky was not happy. She had started to fear the future. She didn’t know what it held for her. She was changing into someone she didn’t know.

That night, while lying in bed, she whispered to herself, “Am I still the girl my parents raised? Or am I becoming someone else?”

Judi, on the other hand, felt like a queen. She believed nothing could go wrong. She didn’t know that life was planning to teach her a painful lesson soon.

Moral Lessons:

1. The people you call friends can change your life, either for good or bad.

2. Having money and fine clothes is not the same as having a good future.

3. Listening to your parents and teachers can save you from a lot of trouble.

4. It is better to be known for doing the right thing than to be popular for the wrong reasons.

5. No matter how fun a wrong path seems, it always leads to pain later.

6. Choose friends who bring you closer to your dreams, not those who lead you away from them.

I Accidentally Found My Husband's Secret Girlfriend's Number in His Phone, and She's My Own Sister

Episode 5: The Final Choice I Made Between Marriage, Blood, and My Own Sanity

Silence teaches you things noise never will.

After Kunle left the house, days passed slowly, like each hour was dragging a heavy load. I lived alone in a home that once echoed with shared laughter, arguments, and promises. Now, it only echoed with memories.

I stopped answering most calls.

I stopped explaining myself.

For the first time in years, I listened to my own thoughts without interruption.

Kunle kept begging.

He sent long messages about repentance.

He quoted scriptures.

He promised counseling.

He promised to never see Zainab again.

But promises were what broke me in the first place.

One evening, Mama Ifeoma came to see me alone. She sat quietly, studying my face.

You look thinner, she said.

Pain reduces appetite, I replied.

She sighed.

Marriage is not a small thing, Morenike. But neither is your sanity.

I nodded.

Later that night, Kunle showed up unannounced. He looked tired, unshaven, broken.

I let him in.

Not because I had forgiven him, but because I needed closure.

He knelt down immediately.

Please, he cried. I made the biggest mistake of my life.

I listened.

He confessed more than I expected.

He admitted the affair did not end emotionally.

He admitted he enjoyed the attention.

He admitted he felt powerful being wanted by two women.

That honesty hurt more than lies.

So I was a competition, I said quietly.

He wept.

I stood up.

Kunle, I said calmly, love does not survive where respect has died.

He looked up.

I forgive you, I continued, but I will not remain married to you.

His face went blank.

Forgiveness is for my peace, not a permission to continue, I said.

I told him I would move on legally and emotionally. I wanted separation, not because I hated him, but because staying would destroy me slowly.

He begged.

I did not bend.

The following week, I moved out temporarily to stay with a trusted aunt. I began counseling quietly. Healing is not loud. It is deliberate.

Zainab tried to reach me many times.

I blocked her.

Some relationships must end for you to live.

Months later, the family met again. The elders agreed on a peaceful separation. No drama. No public disgrace. Just truth.

Kunle lost more than a wife.

He lost trust.

He lost respect.

He lost the illusion that desire has no cost.

Zainab lost something deeper.

She lost her sister.

Till today, she avoids family gatherings when I am present. Not because I chased her away, but because shame has its own voice.

As for me, I found something unexpected.

Freedom.

Not the freedom to be reckless, but the freedom to heal.

I learned that love without boundaries becomes abuse.

I learned that blood does not excuse betrayal.

I learned that staying silent does not always mean being strong.

I am not bitter.

I am wiser.

Some love stories end so that self love can begin.

Is staying always stronger than leaving?

How many people are suffering silently to protect family image?

What would you choose if love and self respect stood on opposite sides?

Final Moral Lessons

Trust is fragile and once broken, it may never return to its original form.

Betrayal hurts deeper when it comes from those closest to us.

Love without respect is emotional violence.

Silence can protect others but destroy the victim.

Forgiveness does not always mean reconciliation.

Choosing yourself is not selfish when staying means losing your sanity.

Every action has consequences, even hidden ones.

Episode 4: Family Intervention Turned My Private Pain into a Public Judgment

By the next morning, the secret had grown teeth. It was no longer something whispered behind closed doors. It had become a family matter, the kind that pulls elders out of their homes and forces truth into the open like a wounded animal.

My mother arrived before noon.

She did not come alone.

She came with my uncle from my father’s side, Baba Kola, a man known for his calm wisdom, and my aunt, Mama Ifeoma, whose sharp tongue had settled many family disputes in Umuoma Village. They sat in my living room, their faces heavy with disappointment and concern.

Kunle sat opposite them, his head bowed.

I sat beside my mother, feeling like a child again, even though I was a married woman whose home was falling apart.

Zainab arrived last.

Her eyes were swollen. Her head was covered with a scarf pulled low, as if hiding her face could erase her actions.

The silence was thick.

Baba Kola cleared his throat.

We are here because something shameful has happened, he said. Something that threatens family peace.

My mother looked at Zainab.

Is what your sister said true?

Zainab broke down immediately.

Yes, Mama, she cried. It is true.

My mother closed her eyes and leaned back, her chest rising and falling.

Kunle, Baba Kola said, lifting his head, speak. Is this true?

Kunle nodded slowly.

Yes sir.

That one word carried so much destruction.

Mama Ifeoma clicked her tongue loudly.

With all the women in this world, you chose your wife’s sister? What kind of heart does a man like you have?

Kunle tried to defend himself.

It was a mistake. It started emotionally. I was weak.

I laughed softly.

Weakness that lasted almost a year, I said.

He looked at me, guilt in his eyes.

Morenike, please—

Mama Ifeoma cut him off.

You have disgraced this family, she snapped. Both of you.

Zainab cried harder.

Mama, I didn’t plan it. He helped me when I was broke. I felt alone. One thing led to another.

My mother stood up suddenly.

So because someone helped you, you decided to destroy your sister’s home?

Zainab knelt down immediately.

Please forgive me, Mama.

My mother looked at me then.

Morenike, she said softly, what do you want?

All eyes turned to me.

That question felt heavier than any insult.

What did I want?

I wanted my old life back.

I wanted my sister to still be my sister.

I wanted my husband to still be my safe place.

But none of those things were possible anymore.

I stood up slowly.

I want the truth respected, I said. I want accountability. And I want space.

Kunle frowned. Space?

Yes, I said firmly. I cannot continue living under the same roof with a man who betrayed me with my own blood.

My mother nodded slowly.

That is reasonable.

Kunle panicked.

Please, Mama, talk to her. I am ready to change. I will cut off Zainab completely.

Mama Ifeoma looked at him sharply.

Cut off? After you already cut her heart into pieces?

Baba Kola sighed deeply.

This matter is serious, he said. Kunle, you will leave this house temporarily. Give your wife time to heal and think.

Kunle’s mouth fell open.

Leave my house?

It is her house too, Baba Kola replied. And you are the offender.

I felt a strange mix of relief and sadness.

Kunle looked at me.

Is this what you want?

I met his eyes.

I want peace, I said. And I don’t have it with you here.

That night, Kunle packed a bag and left.

Zainab was sent back to my mother’s house under strict warning.

The house felt empty afterward. Too quiet.

In the days that followed, messages came from everywhere.

Church members asking questions.

Relatives pretending to check on me while fishing for details.

Friends advising forgiveness.

Others advising divorce.

Kunle called every day.

I miss you.

Please talk to me.

I’m suffering.

I rarely replied.

One afternoon, I met Zainab secretly. She begged again, crying until her eyes were red.

Big sis, please don’t ruin my life. I didn’t mean for it to go this far.

I looked at her calmly.

You didn’t mean it, but you did it.

She reached for my hand.

He said he would marry me if you left him.

That sentence felt like the final slap.

So you were waiting for my marriage to die?

She shook her head, crying.

I don’t know what I was thinking.

I pulled my hand away.

I don’t know if I can ever call you my sister again.

She screamed softly and held her chest.

Those words hurt her more than shouting would have.

That night, alone in my room, I asked myself hard questions.

Was love enough to stay?

Was blood enough to forgive?

Was walking away weakness or strength?

I realized something painful.

Both Kunle and Zainab loved pleasure more than consequences.

And I was the one paying the price.

Will Morenike choose separation or give her marriage one last chance?

What secret decision is Kunle about to make to protect himself?

Can Zainab live with the damage she has caused, or will she try to justify it further?

I Accidentally Found My Husband's Secret Girlfriend's Number in His Phone, and She's My Own Sister

Episode 3: When Silence Became Poison and the Truth Began to Destroy Us from Inside

I stopped pretending after the market day. Something hardened inside me, like a wound that refused to heal. I was no longer the same Morenike who laughed easily or believed explanations without proof. I moved through the house like a guest, careful, observant, quiet.

Kunle noticed the change more clearly now.

You hardly talk to me anymore, he said one evening as we sat in the living room, the television on but nobody watching.

I looked at him. Really looked at him. The man I married in Aiyetoro Town Hall, the man who held my hands and promised faithfulness before elders and prayers.

What do you want me to say? I asked.

He frowned. You used to tell me everything.

I almost laughed.

Everything? I repeated softly.

He shifted uncomfortably. Are you angry about something?

Yes, I thought. I am angry about everything.

But I said nothing.

Silence can be louder than shouting. Mine began to suffocate him.

That night, I made a decision that scared me even as I made it. I would set a trap. Not out of wickedness, but because I needed to see how deep the betrayal went. I needed to know if there was still any truth left in my marriage.

The next morning, I acted normal for the first time in days. I cooked Kunle’s favorite breakfast. I smiled. I even teased him lightly.

His shoulders relaxed.

Later, I said casually, I may travel to stay with Mama for two days. She said she has been feeling weak.

Kunle’s eyes flickered.

Oh, he said. When?

Tomorrow evening.

He nodded too quickly. That’s fine. I’ll manage.

I watched his face carefully. There it was. Relief. Hidden, but present.

My heart sank further.

That afternoon, I sent a message to Zainab.

I’m traveling for two days. Please check on Kunle if you can. He hates being alone.

There was a long pause before her reply.

Okay big sis.

Just okay.

I packed a small bag the next day and kissed Kunle goodbye. He hugged me tighter than usual, like a man trying to prove innocence through affection.

Be safe, he said.

I will, I replied.

I did not go to my mother’s house.

Instead, I went to my friend Ifunanya’s place. She lived not too far away. She was one of the few people I trusted with my pain. When I told her everything, she cried with me.

This is wickedness, she said angrily. Both of them.

I’m not done yet, I told her.

That night, I returned to my house quietly around 9 30 pm. I had a spare key Kunle forgot about. The house lights were off, but I heard voices.

Low voices.

Familiar voices.

My heart pounded so loudly I feared they would hear it.

I stood behind the curtain and watched.

Kunle and Zainab sat close on the couch. Too close. His hand rested on her knee. Her head leaned against his shoulder.

I felt something tear inside my chest.

So this was love.

Not stolen glances anymore. Not secret calls. Bold intimacy in my home.

I stepped forward.

Turn on the light, I said calmly.

They jumped apart like guilty children.

Kunle’s face drained of color.

Morenike? You said you traveled.

Zainab stood up immediately, shaking. Big sis…

I looked at both of them, my eyes dry but burning.

So this is what you do when I travel, I said. You turn my house into a hiding place for your shame.

Kunle tried to speak. Let me explain—

No, I said firmly. I am done listening.

Zainab fell on her knees.

Please forgive me, she cried. I don’t know how it happened.

I stared at her.

You knew how it happened, I said quietly. You just didn’t care.

Kunle moved closer. Morenike, this thing got out of hand. It doesn’t mean anything.

That sentence shattered the last piece of my heart.

Doesn’t mean anything? I repeated. So my marriage means nothing?

He reached for my hand. Please calm down.

I pulled away.

You slept with my trust. You broke my blood bond. And you say it means nothing?

The house was silent except for Zainab’s sobs.

I turned to her.

Get up, I said.

She stood slowly.

You will leave this house tonight.

Kunle protested. Morenike, it’s late—

I looked at him sharply.

You have lost the right to speak for her.

Zainab packed her bag with trembling hands. At the door, she turned back.

I’m sorry, she whispered.

Sorry does not heal this kind of wound, I replied.

After she left, Kunle collapsed onto the couch.

I made a mistake, he said, holding his head. I was confused.

Confused enough to betray your wife with her sister?

He looked up at me, tears in his eyes.

I love you, Morenike.

I laughed bitterly.

Love without respect is violence, I said.

That night, we slept in separate rooms.

The next morning, Kunle begged. He apologized. He swore it was over. He promised counseling, church intervention, everything.

I listened quietly.

But something else was coming.

My mother called that afternoon.

Morenike, she said gently, Zainab is here. She is crying. She says you sent her away.

My chest tightened.

Did she tell you why? I asked.

There was a pause.

She said she made a mistake.

I closed my eyes.

Mama, I said slowly, Zainab is having an affair with my husband.

The silence on the line was heavy.

Jesus, my mother whispered.

That was the moment I knew.

This secret was no longer mine to carry alone.

The storm had reached the elders.
