He brought 100k, I borrowed 300k and his family completed the rest. His parents and siblings were very angry about the issue. I begged them to sort this out so that he won't go to jail. After the money was paid, community gave my sister the 300k. My husband even slept in community cell till the full money was paid.
The next day, he returned home. My sister say she can't live with us any longer and before we got home, she had packed her bags and left. My husband's family took him to the hospital for proper treatment. That period, I couldn't walk in community. the shame was just too much for us to bear. I said I can't take this, my family were also on my neck, threatening to come and deal with my husband.
I grew so thin because I was no longer eating and sleeping. When my husband discharged from the hospital, he told me in my face that he didn't do what my sister accused him of. I got angry and almost fought him, if not that his mother was there. Him denying the issue made everything worse. For the sake of my mental health, I picked my small bag, took my kids and left.
His family called and called but I didn't respond. My husband was sending his friends to come and beg me, because he could not enter our compound. My mother and siblings said I should not step foot in that marriage again. I was crying every night, praying for God to give me strength to pass this temptation.
I was in the market one day when he came to meet me. I tried to send him away but my neighbor said I should just let him in and we should talk. I even closed the shop so we can sit inside and talk very well. He said he didn't do what my sister accused him of. He said he was preparing to leave for work that morning when the boys showed up, and he was even surprised.
After we talked for long, I told him to go, that I will think about it. I prayed about the issue and one voice told me to accept him.
If he's lying, it's him and God that have that case. And another thing is that, ever since the incident, we have not set eyes on my sister. Some people said she was staying with one of the community boy outside of town, and I was even shocked.
So I forgave my husband. My family said they will disown me. They insulted me so much but I was determined to listen to that voice that said I should forgive my husband. I moved in back with my children and we were all living well. The matter soon died and everyone moved on. It was three years after the incident that my friend came to tell us that my sister was hawking pure water in traffick with a baby on her back.
I was surprised, because we haven't set eyes on her since then. I only heard she was living with a boy. That was when we started hearing news that the boy left her and her baby and suffer wanted to finish her. I pretended not to hear anything. My mother that have stopped calling me, called me last week and said she and my sister are coming to our house.
I told my husband and he said never!. We pleaded with him and he agreed. They came with two other of our siblings on the said date. If you see this girl, she was looking so malnourished. I barely recognized her. She cried and knelt on the floor as she saw my husband and I. That was when the truth came out that she lied. She said she wanted freedom but my husband was the one opposing her. So she and the boy planned everything. I shouted and ran into the whole community so that people should come and see and hear for themselves. People gathered in our compound and that day was like market day in our house. My husband's family also came and they said they will not treat this issue lightly.
They wanted to arrest her.
