Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3
First Time in America Episode Three
It is now two weeks since Liza travelled to America. Her husband, Chikobi has not heard from her. She did not call her husband to tell him she has landed in the US. She also refused to pick his calls. Back in Nigeria, family members were worried that something may have happened to her. Everyone was calling her line but she was not picking up. Her husband was seriously worried.
"I love my wife so much and I don't want anything to happen to her. If I had known that it will be like this, I wouldn't have allowed her to travelHow can she refuse to call me for two weeks? She did not even call to let me know that she has arrived. What is going on? She promised not to forget me, but it is only two weeks after the journey and I have not been able to even hear her voice." Chikobi said to himself.
People have been telling him not to worry. They insist that his wife might be busy with her studies, but Chikobi refused to accept such a flimsy reason. He strongly believes something terrible is going on.
"My wife cannot just disappear into thin air. She cannot just stop calling me barely two weeks after travelling to America. That is very strange. I have to do something. Maybe, someone is holding my wife hostage, or she did not go to America, or there is something stopping her from calling us. She cannot just abandon me and the children. She loves me. She loves her children and I can't believe what is happpening. "Chikobi said.
He could not just understand why his wife behaved the way she did. She decided that the best was to call the school. She found the phone number of his wife's school in America and called them. Someone picked the call.
"Please, did my wife resume school? She left Nigeria to resume her masters degree studies. She has not called me since she left Nigeria. I would like to know if she arrived the school. Is she now in the school? I'm so worried and everyone wants to know if she is fine." Chikobi said. The person who picked the call asked for time to verify the school's records to see if someone with that name has resumed.
A few days later, the school called Chikobi and notified him that indeed, his wife has resumed and that she is fine and well.
"Why then has she refused to contact me? Why is she not calling me? Why is she not taking my calls. She has not heard my voice or the children's voice for many days and she is not worried about it. This is not good and it is highly unusual." Chikobi said to himself after he dropped the call.
"I think the best thing to do is to go to America and look for her. I cannot just stay here and do nothing while I don't know what is happening to my wife. She abandonned me too early after leaving Nigeria and I strongly believe someone is manupulating her with charms. I will apply for a visa and travel to America." Chikobi said.
He started making arrangements to trave to America. He quickly applied for a visa. The wait for the visa was too long. But he kept praying for his wife and being patient. Finally, three months after he applied for the visa, he was told it was successful. He quickly packed his bags and flew to America.
"So four months after I permitted my wife to go for her masters degree in America, I'm now travelling to go and look for her. This is so strange. I never expected to make this king of journey at all. I thought everything would be fine, but the moment she boarded the airplane, she seemed to have forgoten me and the children. Did someone confuse her with charms? Did someone confuse her with money? But I gave her all the money she needed and even more. Why is she behaving like this? Maybe she is no longer in her right senses. My wife can never betray me. I trust her so much. I know she is a faithful wife and she cannot leave me for another man. I believe something terrible must have happened that would make her not to call me or to even try to hear from the children for a whole four months. I'm going to America to rescue my wife." Chikobi said to himself while in the airplane.
Meanwhile, Liza has resumed school. She did not know that her husband was coming to look for her in America. She was enjoying her life with Robert. Just as he promised, Robert rented a beautiful apartment for her near the school. He also bought her a car. Everything was happening so fast that even Liza herself was finding it hard to believe that she has abandoned her family and stuck with a white man.
"I can't even believe that this is happening. It is just like a movie to me. From the day I met Robert in the airplane to how he accepted me into his life without even knowing me well. I'm blown away by how fast my life has moved in America." She said to herself one evening. It was a weekend and she was about to go back to Robert's house as she used to do every weekend.
"I can't wait to see my Robert. I have missed him so much. My husband, Chikobi is free to marry another woman in Nigeria. I no longer care about him and my children. I have moved on with my life. I have seen money. I have decided not to remove the sugar Robert is putting in my mouth. My life is now better than what it used to be when I was married to my husband in Nigeria. Now, I have so much money and I don't even have to work or struggle for anything. I have a big apartment, a nice car and I fly around anytime I want. This is the kind of life I like to live. I was just pretending to be a good wife in Nigeria because I didn't want to disturb anyone. Now that I'm America, I will live my life to the fullest." Liza said.
Soon, she drove to New York City to be with her boyfriend, Robert who is always around waiting for her. Robert is a tech billionaire and he has people working for him. He will never run out of money even if he stops working. When Liza arrived, she saw him relaxing outside the house, chilling with a bottle of wine.
"I have missed you so much." Robert said. He stood up and hugged Liza.
"I missed you too." She said..
Meanwhile, Chikobi has just landed in America. However, his biggest problem is how to locate his wife. He doesn't have her address. The only thing he knows is the name of the school.
"How am I going to find her? This is a big problem. I don't even have her dress." Chikobi said to himself.
