MANUSCRIPT FROM UKARI(6)

 (the finale) 

"Look at this boring housewife calling me a prostitute." Gladys shouted, in reply to Faith. 

Gladys had grabbed, kissed, and introduced Uncle Dan to the room as her "baby" when he walked through the door. 

It took him a while to realize that Faith, his daughter, was also in the room. Because the elderly "guy-man" had bounced into the room with the intention of "wowing" his chic's friends with his grandpa's swagger. 😎

Faith could not control her emotions, as her head blew a fuse the moment her dad realized he had caused her serious embarrassment. She took out her frustrations on the drunken Gladys. 

"It is ladies like you that give us a bad name, you shouldn't have gotten married at all. I pity your husband, and I pray you've not given him any dreaded disease." Faith continued. 😠

On hearing that Gladys had a husband, Uncle Dan locked his fingers and placed his hands on his head. 🙆‍♂️

He sat down, disappointed. 

"And she doesn't even feel any remorse or shame for whoring herself around like that." Said Ochanya, as she tried to calm Faith's nerves. 

"Zip it, you this ssssmelly woman" Gladys fired back. 

"I am trying so hard to save your marriages here, do not push me."

Behind the wooden divider and curtains, some of the men intensified their prayers, God must not allow Gladys to run that mouth today. 😟 🙏

Jibrin was disturbed, Aisha's revelations broke his heart. She wasn't happy. 😢

John regretted not bringing a bottle of booze with him to this hideout. Ochanya will make his life miserable if she knew he had slept with Gladys too. 

Magai has done everything to be a good husband, but his wife doesn't even trust him. He wasn't happy and also had a rethink. 

Moses was trying to imagine which of his friends here had slept with his wife, and which ones were still chasing his prized jewel. 🤔

"Slut" Mayindi called Gladys. And that was what unzipped Gladys' mouth. 😂

"You are not only shapeless, you are unbelievably ugly too. I still can't see why Oga Magai is still married to your ever-hungry ass. I just pray you don't mistakenly eat your child one day." Gladys attacked her. 

"And you" she faced Faith now... "How do you manage your husband's weak erection sef?" 🙆‍♂️😲

"Continue sleeping in church and think you are better than everybody. I just pray your husband doesn't find out you've been sleeping with my cousin, your pastor. He tells me you are a real worker in the house of God." Gladys laughed out really loud after she said that part. 🤣🤣😂

The Jet Li in Faith jumped up, she wanted to pounce on Gladys for saying that, but Aisha blocked and dragged her to the extreme corner of the room. 

"Don't waste your strength on this drunk lady, talk to her when it all clears up tomorrow." Aisha said as she pulled a chair for her to sit. 

Aisha didn't notice the men sitting around a table in the corner, behind the curtain, until Faith shouted "Blood of Jesus!" 😲

..............................................................

"Most of you think you are married but you are not. You are just legally living with another human being, and legally having sex with them because marriage is a criterion in our society" Said the old man as all nerves settled around the table. 

Faith was crying uncontrollably. 

She tells her pastor almost everything about her marriage, she even told him how she doesn't enjoy sleeping with her husband again because he drinks alcohol every day. The young pastor used her own stories to not only get into her head but into her pants as well. 

Uncle Dan had to leave after apologizing to Moses. 

Moses is like a son to him, he watched him play and grow alongside his sons, because he was his dad's friend. 

Now his daughter and her husband Makai would never respect him again. His hyperactive pecker has finally disgraced him publicly.

 "Usually, we marry the people who help our hearts heal when the ones we truly loved left us for another person." The old man started. 

"And this is why our hearts are never with the ones we finally settle for. Some of you hurriedly married the wrong person just so your ex doesn't get married before you."

Facing Moses he said, "your supply of sex does not match your wife's demand for sex. But instead of focusing on improving and satisfying her desires, you waste your limited energy on chasing other girls. Now she sleeps around because she can't tolerate your inactivity in that department."

Turning to Aisha he said, "and you, on the other hand, do not meet your husband's demand for sex. And now he cheats and threatens to get a second wife, instead of discussing the matter like adults."

"When sex is the reason you got married to someone, then expect these challenges. No two people have the same appetite and energy for sex, and it later becomes boring as you age together. So what would you do after then?"

"I will always blame the women for giving men the power to treat them like trash. A man proposes with a ring and you start shedding tears. You make it look like he is doing you a huge favour by asking you to marry him. Like you have waited a lifetime for him to ask. Like your own life has no meaning without him."

"Wives tend to expect so much from husbands, when they are actually supposed to focus on themselves and what they are expected to do in a marriage. The men are not better than you, why depend so much on them and give them the power to disrespect you?" He asked. 

"A real woman can do it all by herself, but a real man won't let her. And if your man can't provide for you, shut up and provide for him. Help and support him to find his feet again. But if he's an idiot, treat him as such and focus on your happiness... With your mouth shut."

"Most men are nothing without your support and assistance, but when you are nothing without a man's support and assistance, you carried the wrong mentality into marriage."

"You can never see a widower seeking help because his wife died, women are usually helpless if the husband died suddenly because you make the mistake of depending on your husbands instead of being a support."

"Ssssso what has all these sermons got t't'to do with our c'current situations now p'p'please?" Asked John, angrily. 😠

"Because your wives expected happiness from marrying your lousy asses, instead of building themselves. Most of them would have been greater and happier if your paths didn't cross." Answered the old man. 

"I know my marriage may not survive today, so I wanna apologize to everybody". Gladys said. The alcohol seems to have cleared now. 

I will work on myself, I will learn sexual discipline, but most importantly, women should keep their horny husbands from chasing me. I am not the devil here, I did not force John here to drill me, neither did I use a spell on Makai and his father-in-law. Men chase after any woman who looks good." 😲

Ochanya stared into John's eyes as she reached for the wine bottle on the table. 

John still has a scar from the iPad she smashed on his head last February. So he just wanted to run this time, but Leema quickly took the bottle from his wife's hand. He sat back down with an "I'm sorry" look on his face. 😟

Jibrin and Aisha amicably agreed to get a divorce. She is now a member of the Federal House of Representatives and happily married to a man who pushes her to pursue her dreams. 

Moses and Gladys are still together, both working on themselves and their shaken marriage. She is patiently teaching him how to love her right. They are just a rare, crazy breed. 

Ochanya moved out and came back within a month. She couldn't foot her bills, so she came back with a warning. John also told her to tidy herself up and challenge herself. He wants to be proud of her for anything other than being his wife and the mother of his kids. 

Magai and Mayindi got divorced. He got tired of her display of distrust and doubt. He moved out of the house after she insisted on going through his phone one evening, he gave it to her and she found nothing incriminating. He doesn't even wanna see her again, but for the kids. 

Makai and Faith are still pretending to be married, both of them know it's over between them, but they don't want society to slander them. So they will continue to distrust each other and be unhappy till they die. 

It was Ahmadu who married Aisha. He finally decided to settle for an ambitious woman. He is a successful husband and a businessman now. 

Aji started seeing a lady he liked so much, they aren't too serious yet but he is seriously considering wifing her if she would be able to deal with his multiple personalities. 

The Old man finally died just two days after dancing with Leema and Aji on their wedding day. 

Yes, Leema was the lady Aji started seeing, now they are married and doing great together. 

The couples will never have another family reunion again. 

THE END

#FICTION
