Mr Ojo: Dear am very sorry, please forgive me, I didnt mean to hurt you like this please forgive me!
He sobbed as he held her hands on the bed, her neck and legs bandaged heavily and a drip was connected in her hand..
Mrs Ojo: you wanted to kill me, that’s why you did what you did…
Mr Ojo: How can you say that? How can I kill you, you are my wife and even though we fight and quarrel I still love you very much, please forgive me please!
Mrs Ojo: you threw a knife at me, you wanted to kill me na, if that knife had pierced my heart I would be dead by now and you will take another wife isn’t it?
Mr Ojo: no na, how can I kill you, please stop talking like that.
Mrs Ojo: look at me now, just look at me, the doctor said the knife has damaged my spinal cord and for that I won’t be able to use my legs again. I will be placed on a wheelchair, all because of you. You caused it. Its your fault!
Mr Ojo: am sorry. Am so sorry! Mr Ojo kept on sobbing….
Mrs Ojo: How did we get here, we used to be so much in love, we used to be happy, with our kids, we used to work together, how did we get here?
Mr Ojo: honestly dear, I do not know ……
Mrs Ojo: do you think its karma? Do you think we are paying for all we did to Queen and her daughter?
Mr Ojo: it may be, but isn’t this punishment too much for just sending them away and taking their properties? We have lost our three beloved children and we’ve lost all we have isn’t it too much?
Mrs Ojo was silent for a while before talking, dear I have a confession to make! ”What is it”? he asked, she paused for a while before continuing.
”Its Ruth” she finally said, ”what about Ruth”? Mr Ojo asked
Mrs Ruth: she is Queen’s real daughter, she went ahead to narrate all that happened 19 years ago to her husband. Mr Ojo’s mouth was wide opened as he listened to his wife. He was not aware of this evil done by his wife, but all the same they are in it together.
Mr Ojo: wow! You really did a lot and I believe its karma indeed, so what do we do now?
Mrs Ojo: we need to find them and ask for their forgiveness, if not we can never have peace.
Mr Ojo: find them? Its over 19 years now, how on earth do you think we can find them?
Mrs Ojo, I honestly do not know!
They both sat down and discussed for a while before deciding what else to do!
