mothers and one
father.
My father married my
stepmother after my
mother was unable to give
birth
to a child after six
years of marriage. As if
controlled
by some external spirit, my
mother
took in few months after my
stepmother was
brought home by my father.
However, my
stepmother was already
pregnant.
Kenneth my
eldest brother was born by my
stepmother before
Osarugue, my sister, was born.
Kelvin came next from my
stepmother's womb,
and then I did from my
mother's.
My mother took
over the baton completely by
giving birth to two
other children -Victory and
Nosa-
giving her a
perfect number of two males
and
two females.
My stepmother balanced the
equation by giving birth to a
set of female twin twelve years after
I was born. Father was hardly ever at
home while I was
growing up, and even up till
now, he is rarely at
home. He spent more time
away
doing business
than taking care of us at
home.life was sweet.
Really sweet,playing with my
brothers and sisters.
People said polygamous homes
are not peaceful but our own
home broke that theory.We
lived in peace that strangers
can never notice the home was
polygamous.Theyalways
allowed us play anything we
wanted to.They never had time
to follow us around or spy on
us since they were always busy
breaking melon and should i
say gossiping.
Our father
only spent four
days in a month with us, until
recently he
increased it to six days. He
claims
he is doing his best to ensure
we
have a good life.I never had
time to be with my dad,to know
and learn things from him,just
like other children. I appreciate
his efforts though, but it is
unwise to
shop a shoe for a
foot that has been cut off from
the body.
From one movie to
another, the TV became
irresistible. Sometimes, we
would
watch movies
up till midnight before my
stepmother would send
us out of the living room like
tenants owing rent. ……..
