Ella never for once knew her husband would for once look at another lady except her. The way he proposed to her, and the way he went about his love for her, made her YES come speedily. It was during his NYSC passing-out party, which also happened to be on his birthday. Then, Ella was in 300 level, and she travelled all the way from her school, Abia State University, to honour her lover's ceremony. Her gown spoke less of her beauty because one could hardly tell which was more gorgeous. She carefully chose the pink gown which had a small touch of black, to go with her outfit for the day. Her black heels and black purse did more than compliment the pink gown. She was astonishingly beautiful, and mere looking at her, one would believe an angel had left Heaven to live among men. She arrived Ibadan the day before to help out with one or two preparations, and also to spend some time with her lover who she had not seen since he graduated from school. "I want to thank you all for gracing this small birthday party." Akande started, during his opening remark. "I really appreciate those who came from a far distance." He added. In no time, the party was over, and before the time for "Dance! Dance!! Dance!!!", Akande rose up to say something. "There is someone here in our mist that I want to talk about." He began. "She is my light, my queen, my eyes, my…" Akande went on to shower adoration and praises on Ella. In the course of it all, he moved closer to where she sat. Taking everybody by surprise, Akande pulled out a very beautiful ring from his suit, and with his two kneels on the ground, he asked, "will you marry me?" Everybody gave a thunderous clap and shouts as some ladies screamed and shouted. Ella was simply dumb-founded. Although, she suspected that Akande might propose to her during the occasion, but she didn't know he would do it in front of the crowd, and even his parents who travelled down from Lagos to honour the event. She was cut off-guard, and for that moment, she wished the whole world could freeze so that she could enjoy that very moment longer than she had. Her "YES" was followed by shouts from the crowd. "KISS HIM !!!" They commanded. She got up from her chair, wrapped herself around Akande, and gave him a very deep kiss.
It was just a matter of two years before the love birds consummated their love in Holy matrimony. Akande got a job in Ibadan where he served, and in no time, Ella and Akande were on a journey to marital bliss. They started out well enough as the couple decided to stay for some months without having an issue. "I want to enjoy you first before children would come in." Akande said, and Ella saw reasons with him. Meanwhile, Akande was in the habit of "sampling" all girls that come around to his office in search for job. The gullible ones to be precise. After few months, they stopped the Child-Spacing programme, and it wasn't funny to them when Ella continued to see her period. She was never pregnant for a second, let alone giving birth to a baby. Akande himself began worried, and they both visited different hospitals for tests and check-ups. But, the results showed they were both perfectly alright. All the while, Akande never gave a second thought to the sexual intercourse he regularly had in the dream with a particular faceless lady. He simply saw it as just a dream.

"The evil that men do lives after them." I strongly disagree with that expression. Yes. As for me, I believe that "the evil that men do lives WITH them." But, what just hurts me is that, evil men have a way of affecting people close to them when nemesis eventually catches up with them. Join me again tomorrow as we continue the story titled, BLOOD OF AN HE-GOAT.
