STORY: M . A. R. Y (Maria . Audrey . Rachael . Yvonne )

I want to tell you the story of four women who brought a grave problem into their lives as a
result
of their carelessness which they thought was
bravery but it turned out to be much more
than
they could handle and it brought the most terrible
problem man would never think of into their
lives…
Maria is a happily married woman with a cool
husband MAX, a well-to-do business man,
they got an issue with their marriage which was
childbearing, and they live in a nice duplex. Audrey is a fair beautiful lady, a spinster who
has a
boyfriend who is 20 years old called Chinedu
while
she is 30, a working class lady, quite rich.
Rachael a beautiful fat girl but feels she’s ugly &
too fat always complaining, because of her
low self
esteem she marries a man who is after her
money;
a womanizer. Yvonne a beautiful lady, with an obfuscating
husband, she lives as a working class lady,
can
stand her ground but emotionally weak.
These ladies are gorgeous, that type of
beauty that will put you in a confused state of which to
love
most.
One problem with MARY is that they just
can’t get
wise. The fact that Maria has a responsible man
doesn’t
mean she chose wisely but just lucky to have
him……….. This is their story
Maria’s face was not looking bright as Max
drove home; he constantly glanced at her while
driving
“Sweety, what’s wrong?” Max asked
“Nothing” she said looking through the window
“Look we’ve passed the stage of you saying
nothing, am your husband I deserve to know what
the problem is” he replied
“Ok why am I not pregnant?” she said looking
at
him
“What kind of question is that” he asked “Just answer the god-d--n question” she
said
loudly
“Am I to answer that?” he said
“O yes, answer” she said
“Well, the doctor said you’re fine, you’ll have your
pregnancy soon” he said
“The doctor! The doctor!! The doctor!!!
Always the
doctor” she said
“What’s it? He said you’re fine, you can get pregnant” he said
“Yes am fine what about you?” she said. The
words
rang in Max’s ears as he immediately parked
the
car. “What did you say?” Max said looking at her
“Yes are you capable of getting me
pregnant?” she
said
“What? Did you just say that to me?” he
asked “Max for God’s sake it’s 5 years now and we
have
no child” she said
“I see so this is what you’ve had in mind for a
longtime now right” he said
“Honey am sorry about what I said” she said touching him, he ignored her as he started the
car
and continued driving, they were both silent
until
they got home.
The security guy opened the gate for them as he
drove in & parked the car amongst the rest
cars in
an open garage
“Welcome sir” the gate man said to max as he
steps out of the car “Thank you Obi” he replied
“Welcome Ma” he said to Maria
“Thank you” she replied
They both walked into the house and went
upstairs
into the bedroom. Maria sat on the bed taken off
her jewelries and Max went to the wardrobe
to
take off his clothes
“Honey am so…just forget about it, I don’t
feel like talking” Max interrupted her
He walked into the bathroom and locked the
door,
(he doesn’t do that).
Maria knew he was angry; she changed her
clothes and went down stairs into the kitchen to
prepare
dinner. Tobecontinued

episode 1&2She prepared a nice meal of Egusi soup with
turkey
and some meat with pounded cassava and a
pack
of fruit juice and set it on the dining table. She
sat down in the palour while watching a movie;
after
20mins Max came down stairs and sat on the
sofa
away from his wife
“Honey, food is ready” she said “Am not hungry” he replied with a straight
face
“Am sorry Na, I didn’t mean what I said what I
said”
“Ya you never mean what you say” he replied
“Please come and eat your food” she said, now he
was angrier
“I said am not hungry, cant you understand
that?”
he said loudly
“Ok, if you say so” They both sat quietly for 10mins watching TV
until
she said something
“I prepared egusi soup with turkey and goat
meat
with pounded yam” she said without looking at him.
Immediately his eyes widened as he turned to
look
at her
“Ehn? What did you say?” he asked
pretending not to hear her and she understood him
“It’s on the dining table” she said moving her
head
in the direction of the dining table. He ignored
her
and after about 2
