SHE IS ME! (PART ONE)
“My sweet husband!” Clara said smiling as she hugs her husband who just came back from work. “how has your day been?” she asked blushing
“Pretty cool,” he said while sprawling on a couch “What about you, how was work?” He asked staring at her intently “what is wrong with your eyes, why are they red like strawberries?” He asked hurriedly as he noticed the redness of the eyes
“My eyes? It . . .”
“Daddy!” his three-year-old son shouted excitedly as he ran to him where he was sitting.
His wife heaved a sigh of relieving “thank God” she mumbled
“Where has my young man been?” he asked gazing at him playfully
“I asked him to go and take a nap but obviously he didn’t,” his wife said
“Hmm, young man, hope you kept yourself out of mischief because these eyes twinkled with it?” he said staring at the little boy playfully while he laughs
“Dad, Anty Tola slapped Mummy,” he said with his childish voice
His eyes wide with a hanger “What!” he turned to his wife “My queen, is that true?” he asked fuming
“It is nothing, don’t take it seriously! It’s just one of those things joh” she said nonchalantly with the wave of a hand
“Which thing? Was she drunk? Where is she?” he asked angrily
“Probably in her room,” his wife said and he dashed in like a whirlwind
“You this boy” she carried him, “have I not warned you not to be saying everything your eyes saw?” She said touching his lips gently “Are you a surveillance camera?” she asked smiling while the boy looks at her face blinking like a thief who was caught red-handed
“Tola!! You are sleeping, right? Wake up joh” he said giving her a spank as he entered her room
“Ha, ha, boda mi” she said yawning and stretching
“What audacity did you have to slap my wife?” he asked frowning
Hissed “that? She had reported me to you?” she said disgustedly and her brother gave her a hot slap “Yeee!” She cried “you slapped me because of your wife?” She asked with her mouth agape
“Yes! And if you are not careful, I would flog you” he said fuming “What nonsense? If the woman is not good, do you think you could be welcomed here? Are you not the one who told me about your friend who couldn’t go to her brother because of his wife’s hostility? God blessed your brother with a good wife who accepted you as her own sister and all you could do is to insult and beat her! ” He said fuming
“I didn’t beat her o, it was just a slap,” she retorted
“Can you hear the crap you are vomiting from your mouth? You would have look for a long cane to flog her nah. From today I want you to know that my wife is me and I am her” he said sternly. “If you disrespect her, you have disrespected me. How could you respect me and disrespect my wife? Nonsense” he said and left in a fury
“Hun, un, wonder shall never end” she clapped her hands sarcastically “he is his wife? So he is a man woman?” hissed “Woman wrapper” she said and went out furiously to her friend
Rose who was vacuuming their living room glanced at her friend when she entered “It is obvious you are not happy. What is the matter?” she asked with a curious look
“Is it not my brother and his wife that is turning their house to an oven for me? I am choked up with their attitudes” she said angrily
“Ha, ah, what did they do?”

PRAYER POINT: Appreciate God if your husband loves you as himself and if not, pray that God will have His way in His life, take away every spirit of selfishness and hatred from him and He will help him to love you as himself in Jesus name.
My beloved is mine and I am his (hers) . . . (Song of Solomon 2:6)
