So what are you saying, am I

"Mom, I see that you are not
been understanding and I really
have to go, Gina needs me now,
just send her away when you’re
done admiring her. Ken said and
rush out of the house to go to the supermarket, he wants to buy
everything in the world for her."
"No..no..no.. please don’t come
down from the bed, just stay put,
I will do everything for you, just say
the word and it’s down Ken told
Gina."
"Hahaha, Ken please am only
pregnant not sick, and beside is
just two week pregnant I still walk
and thing my things."
"I know but as long as am here
you don’t need to do anything I
will do everything for you and my
baby, he said and started robbing
her belly."
"Hello baby are you listening to
me? Don’t give mommy trouble
ok, be a good boy ok."
"So who told you is going to be
a boy? Gina ask."
"I know because am the father,
is a boy."
"No.. is a girl Gina said."
"Wow.. you like my first child to
be a girl?"
'Yes, I want a girl first, then the
rest can be boys."
"Why did you say so? Ken ask
Gina."
"Because I need someone that
will take my side."
"No.. she will take my side too
Ken said."
"Fine, but she will be mommy’s
girl."
"And she will be daddy’s girl too."
They augured for a long time.
"You know what? Ken said, I give
up, let the baby be a girl and a
mommy’s girl, but am going to
spoil her with all the good things
of life, he kiss Gina on the
forehead."
Ken stayed in the hospital with
Gina not wanting to go back
home.
"Ken you need to go home Gina
said."
"Why? You don’t want me by
your side?"
"No.. why wouldn’t I?
"Then let me stay with you."
"Ok if you say so then you can
stay as long as you want."
"I want to stay with you for the
rest of my life, he told Gina."
"Then marry me. Gina said and
Ken was like,
" wow.. yes, yes! Let’s get married
immediately, he got up to run out
of the hospital.
"And where are you going? Gina
ask."
"Am going home to tell my dad,
we need to finalize this marriage
so you can be my wife and I can
take care of you and my baby
without anyone interfering with
me."
"Ok, do as you said but please
be careful, take your time don’t
rush."
"Ok, dear, I will see you soon, he
kiss her and left the hospital."
"Ken your father is looking for
you, his mother announce to him
immediately he enters the house."
"Ohh. Ok am looking for him too,
I want to tell him am ready for the
marriage."
"Fine you can go and see him
his mom said."
"Good morning dad, ken greeted
as he entered the sitting room."
"Morning to you too Mr. Jackson
greeted ken back."
"Dad I have something to tell you."
"Ok, go head."
"I want to get married to Gina,
she is pregnant for me and I don’t
want to delay this marriage again."
"Really? That’s good news then.
But do you know this woman.?
"Which woman? Ken look around
but didn’t see anyone just him
and his father where in the
sitting room."
"Victoria come out. Mr. Jackson
called out Victoria."
"Dad I can explain."
"Ok, go ahead. Mr. Jackson
said."
"I didn’t do anything with her."
"Ok. Mr. Jackson said looking
at ken for more explanation."
"Is that all? You didn’t do
anything with her is not an
explanation Ken."
"ok, I only had something with
her once, that’ all."
"Is a lie, is twice Victoria yell
at ken."
"Victoria, is just once, I can’t
remember doing anything with
you a second time, please go and
look for someone else to hang
yourself on not me."
"I am not lying the baby is yours."
"Dad, please believe me I didn’t
get her pregnant she is lying."
"Ken, once or twice is enough
to get someone pregnant,
depending on the period she
was in when you met her, once
or twice is not an issue, do you
understand, Mr. Jackson said
hating the fact that he was the one
explaining these things to ken."
"So none of you believe me in
this house, is fine you guys have
not believe me anyways, you
always support others but me."
"Ken that is not what it is, you
impregnated someone else’s
daughter is not something we
need to take your side."
"Fine, do whatever you want
but I want to marry Gina and why
is it that no one is talking about
Gina anyways?"
"Ken the truth is that I have
already taken miss Victoria to the
hospital and the doctor confirm
you are the father."
"How?, when?"
"I took her to our family doctor
who run a DNA test on her and
confirms that you are the real
father to the baby."
Ken sat down on the floor.
"This is not happening to me,
where did I go wrong? I did not
want to marry two woman never
in my life, no…no..no..no this is
not happen, he got up from the
floor and the only thing he could
think of is."
"You need to get rid of that thing,
he pointed at victoria with so
much anger on this face."
"What? Victoria and Mr. Jackson
shouted at the same time."
"Ken, are you out of your mind.?"
"No dad, I am not going to marry
two women period."
"Leave us Mr. Jackson ordered
victoria."
"Yes sir, she bow and left the
two alone."
"Son, there is nothing bad in
marrying two women."
"Really? And how am I going to
handle two women at a time?"
"Is simple dear."
"How?"
"Just be good to the two women,
pretend is one woman and you
will not have a problem."
"Really? Is that how you do it
with mom and ben’s mother."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean where you pretending
to love my mom?"
"God forbid that I will pretend to
love my Tina, she is the only
woman I have ever love in my
whole life."
"Hmm, so what about ben’s mom?"
"She is my wife too."
"Hmm I see, she is the one you
are pretend to me my mom right?."
"That is not what I said, Mr.
Jackson said, sit down let me
tell you a story."
Ken sat down and Mr. Jackson
told him the whole story of why
he married two women.
"Hmm. I see, so what plays out
in your life is repeating itself in
my life?"
"That’s the true son of his father,
Mr. Jackson said to ken."
"So dad how do I stop it? If I
don’t want to marry two woman?"
"Well, as it is right now there is
nothing you can do about it, you
just need to accept their two as
your wife."
"No dad, I love Gina so much I
don’t need to hurt her that way."
"Yea, me too, I loved your mom
so much I couldn’t stand to see her
marry another man so I hid her
away from my parents, I only go
to marry her when I first married
ben’s mom, because of the fear of
my father, but yours is a little bit
different you know."
"How?"
"You can marry Gina first before
victoria."
Ken’s eyes widen, yes!. "Thank
you dad."
"You are welcome Mr. Jackson
said, feeling sorry for his beloved
son, he knows how it felt like to
marry someone you don’t love,
that pain, is heart stabbing."
Ken walk away feeling so down,
this day was supposed to be the
happiest day of his life but what?
Everything is a mess because of
the way he lived, damnit, Peter
has kill me, no.. don’t blame peter,
blame yourself, peter wasn’t the
once who bang those chicks but
you, he keep quarreling with
himself."
"Son what is it? Why are you so
sad this morning?"
" Nothing mom, am fine. Ken
reasoned that ever though he tells
his mom everything what could
she do? She would just support
others but not him, am fine mom
just leave me along."
Tina has never heard her son talk
to her like that before.
"Ken what is wrong with you
and why are you angry at me?"
"Mom I said am fine, leave me
alone let me carry my cross all by
myself, can you help me carry it?
He ask his mom almost in tears."
"Ken what are you talking about,
please tell me am your mom.
And please don’t cry."
"Am not crying mom, am angry
he yell at his mother."
"Please am here tell me anything
and I will do it for you but please
stop shouting at your mom."
"Am I shouting? ken ask his
mom, looking at her a drop of tears
fell form ken’s eyes."
"Oh my dear what is really making
you cry, his mom wants to hug
him but he push her aside."
"Don’t touch me, you don’t love
me."
"Why ken, that’s not true, I love
you with everything in my life."
"Then prove it."
"How?"
"Send that girl away, I don’t want
to marry two wives."
"Ohh.. is that the problem?"
"Yes that is the problem."
"Fine, I will send her away right
this minute, but please don’t
shout at me again."
"Am sorry mom, you know I love
you and Gina, I will not do
anything to hurt both of you, I
only love two women in this life,
you and Gina, he said hugging
his mother."
"Don’t worry son, I will make
sure she leaves this house before
you know it."
"Thank you mom."
