CHAPTER 212

NINI 

week later.

A wake keeping was orgarnised for Dayo and we were  dressed in black, I  sat inside Dayo's sitting room crying, my Children beside me, his siblings, Mirabel and sons, his workers with his body lying in state inside the compound  inside the coffin.

I couldn't  go close to the coffin when the body was brought into the compound.

The coffin was a transparent  glass coffin, I  was told to  make arrangements of his death as the mother of his kids.

I just told his siblings I can't but the lawyer said I  am the one who can sign out money for his funeral because  he made me his trustee.

I signed out the sum of 2M for his funeral .

I never  thought I  would be signing out money for his funeral, I  thought we would be moving to United states and starting a new life, he was alright  the night before I left him to go take care of my children, his death is still a mystery  to me even the doctor confirmed that he is improving.

I walk to his study and I saw our wedding picture and our family picture, I  held it in my hand.

" Dayo, we never said our being together  will be this short lived , our vow was till death do we part but I thought we would grow old together, give our children out for marriage together just like your parent did, I  thought we would one day watch our grand  and great grandchildren running round our house, I  thought with all we have achieved  that we can live a better life abroad with no one interering, I  never knew all my dreams were just illusions that you would be gone soon"

MIRABEL. 

I stood staring at my wedding dress with tears on my face, my black dress is on the bed, traditional  attire for the traditional wedding and the PT kit on the bed, tears stream down my face. " With all my trying of having you Dayo, my sacrifices to become MRS Jaiye was in vain, my feelings for you were real, it was about you being handsome and brilliant at first but later turned into real feelings that sharing you became issue for me, the day I knew your ex wife was Daisy I became insecured because  I  had loved you, loved your kids like mine.

Your family  welcomed  me, I  am yet to believe that you are gone, the signs why you never loved me are clear , you push me away many times but I  never see it as a sign, your ex wife came back, I  should have left but no I didn't  and then we fix our wedding day and accident  happened and the wedding  couldn't  hold and I  was happy to be carrying  your child and few weeks ago you were alright,  you were all smiles then just 3 days after you were pronounced  dead and I lost one tie that could have kept us together after death, it's  just too hard to believe that I was destined  not to even  have a tie with you even after death" and my sister comes to touch me on my shoulder  and tears were streaming down my face uncontrollable .
