What's happening here? I asked my husband. He said he couldn't stand it for my mom to visit UK before his mom. So all this while, he has been processing the papers for his mom. That was why he told me not to call my mom until we are done so it can be a surprise.
Immediately, my mother-in-law told my husband that he doesn't owe me any explanation. Wow. Wow. And my husband too kept quiet. My mother-in-law quickly told my husband to show her where to keep her things. He left me in the sitting room. Someone that came for omugwo didn't even touch the newborn baby the very first day she came in. My husband has been the one bathing me and holding the kids when I need to rest.
The week my husband was on night shift, my first child was having a fever and the new baby was crying all night. I needed assistance from my mother-in-law. I called on her to please assist me with the new baby so I can attend to my first child. My mother-in-law told me never to disturb her sleep again. You know why I can never like you?
Because you made me a fool before my friend who I wanted my son to marry her daughter. You came from nowhere to enjoy life, She said so many things to me that night, I started wondering if she is aware I'm the reason we are in this foreign land today. It's obvious she's not aware that i sold my lands for us to move, but I refused to tell her all that. I managed to take care of my newborn, and my first child together that night. We slept around 5:30 a.m. Around 6:05 a.m., my husband came back and was hungry. I was still sleeping. He came in, woke me up. I told him it's not long we slept. The kids were sick and disturbing all night. My husband apologized for that and still begged me to come arrange something for him to eat. I told him to please tell his mom because my eyes are paining me. His mom overheard it and came towards us. She started shouting, Why will a married man not have food waiting for him after he's out there struggling with hard jobs?
I was tempted to slap or shout at her. I was just managing my anger. My husband supported his mom and told me to stand up and arrange something for him to eat. Very helpless guy, man. Very helpless guy. He took his mom out to the sitting room and came back immediately to also beg me not to be angry over whatever he said. I only supported my mom, so she won't feel I am a woman wrapper. That's a lot. After that, I became sick. I couldn't move or even touch my kids. I was shivering all night. My newborn baby was crying all night. My mother-in-law would be the last person to come check on my child. Inside me was praying and begging God to help me send peace to my baby so she can stop crying and sleep. After a while, she slept. I was glad my prayer worked. As for me...
I was still shivering till my husband came in. He noticed my health and immediately rushed me to the hospital. We got to the hospital around 6:46 a.m., but came back around 5 p.m. When we got home, my first child didn't rush to come and hug us, so my husband asked his mom about the kids. Your kids are inside. The key is on top of the table in front of you, she said. It happened that my mother-in-law locked the kids inside the room. My husband and I quickly rushed and opened the door. We found our kids on the floor, not moving. Jesus, come and help me. They are d3ad. That was my first shout. Relax, relax. We rushed to the hospital, but my kids didn't make it. They di3d. I lost my children. What was my crime? What? My mother-in-law killed my children.
