First Time in America Episode Four

When Chikobi arrived in America, he knew that his biggest problem would be how to find his wife's address. He does not have it. It was the first time he was coming to America. However, he knows that she was studying at Harvard University in Massachusetts. That makes things easier for him. He decided that he was going to travel to the school from New York City.

"I think that is the best option. I know I will find her there. At least, I can ask around or ask the school authority to help me find my wife. If truly she resumed studies, I will find her there." Chikobi said to himself. He paid for a train from New York City to Massachusetts. He was emotional when he entered the train.

"I'm happy that I came. Let it not be that my wife went missing and did not do anything to rescue her. Something bad must have happened to her. As a husband, it is my duty to do something to protect my wife." He said as he was on the train.

After a few hours of train ride, he arrived in Massachusetts. He soon located the Harvard University campus. It was when he got there that he realised that it was a weekend.

"Today is Saturday, I will not see students. My wife will not be here today. I have to find a hotel to lodge in so that I can return on Monday." Chikobi said to himself. He had money. Before coming to USA, he sold many of his properties, so he has enough money. He has money that can last him at least six months in America. He quickly got himself a hotel room and kept his bag there.

"I will stay in this room until I'm able to find my wife. I'm not leaving this country until I find my wife. She is the reason I came to America, and I must find her." Chikobi said to herself. He slept that night thinking of the next few days. The only mission on his mind is how to find his wife. He had no idea that his wife was in New York City, enjoying the weekend with her boyfriend, Roberts, who was busy spoiling her with money and gifts.

Liza has fallen deeply in love with Robert. Except on days that she is in school, she can't stay without him. Robert was a very good man. He knows how to take care of a woman. He also has a good heart. He knew that Liza was married, but he couldn't help but love her. She was beautiful and smart. Robert is approaching 40, and he is still not married because he was looking for a perfect black woman who meets his specifications.

His relationship with Liza progressed with speed, beginning from when she saw her at the airport in Nigeria to the moment he bribed the flight attendant to allow them to stay in his space on the aeroplane. Everything was fast, and now, he plans to take it to the next level. He is tired of being single, and he wants to marry Liza. One night, he decided to tell her about his plans.

"We have been in a relationship for about four months now. I know that everything is happening fast. We made love the first day we met. We made love in the most unlikely places. It happened on the airplane. I enjoyed it and I know you enjoyed it as well. The truth is that I would like to marry you. However, I have one problem. You are a very good person. You are beautiful and smart. You are intelligent and kind. You are the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. But you are married to another man. You didn't divorce your husband before coming to America. How are we going to handle this? cannot marry a woman who is already married." Robert said.

"I'm so happy you have chosen to marry me. We can get married. My husband will not know, and he can't do anything about it. I have already left Nigeria, and I don't think I will go back. I will never go back to my husband. You are the only person who matters to me right now. You are the only person in my mind, and I will never leave you. Please go ahead and marry me. I can't wait to wear your engagement ring." Liza said.

"The engagement ring will not be a problem. I have already bought the ring. The only problem in my mind is that you are not properly divorced. Your husband is in Nigeria. I will not marry you if you are still married to your husband in Nigeria. We have to tell ourselves the truth. I'm a very rich person and I'm well-known.

I have to do things right. Before I will marry you, you have to properly divorce your husband in Nigeria. I don't know how you are going to do it, but that is what I want. I don't care sponsoring you to Nigeria so that you can go and do it." Robert said.

"So if I don't divorce him, you will cancel our relationship?" Liza asked.

"No! I will continue to date you, but I will not marry you. I have to be sure that you and your husband are properly separated before getting married to you. I cannot marry another man's wife. If you agree to go back to Nigeria, I will give you the money to go there and divorce him and then return to America. Once you are back, and I can see evidence of the divorce, we will get married. I truly love you, and I'm prepared to spoil you with money. The only thing stopping me is that you are married to another man. If you don't divorce him, I may leave you and marry another person when the time comes." Robert said. Liza was heartbroken, but she started mapping out her plans.

"So, if I can go to Nigeria and get a divorce from him, you will still marry me?" Liza asked.

"Yes! In fact, if you want to go tomorrow, I will pay for your flight and everything. Just let him know you are no longer interested in being his wife. Get a proper divorce and come back, and we will get married." Robert said.

"Alright! I will go. I don't want to lose you. You are the person I want to be with. Nothing will make me to lose you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are a kind person. You have shown me so much love since I met you on the airplane. I'm ready to do everything you are asking me to do and even do more." Liza said. That night, she did not sleep very well. She kept thinking of what to do next.

She started planning how to go to Nigeria. She knows that if she can move very fast, Roberts will buy her an engagement ring and marry her with speed. Two days later, she decided to tell him that she will travel to Nigeria within 24 hours so she can go and finalise the divorce. Robert agreed and gave her all the money she needed.

"Before I travel to Nigeria, I will go to Harvard University and pick up some of my clothes that I left there. I don't know how many days I will stay in Nigeria." She said to herself. She left Robert's house and travelled to Harvard University.

Meanwhile, Chikobi, Liza's husband, has decided that he will stand at the Harvard University gate with his wife's framed photo as he is searching for her since he does not know the address of where she lives.

When he woke up at the hotel that morning, he went straight to the main gate of the school. He stood there with the framed photo and also asked some people. That was when his wife was driving into the school with her expensive car. She was going there to tell her supervisor that she would be travelling to Nigeria for a few days. As she was driving into the school, she saw her husband standing at the school gate with her framed photo.

"Who am I seeing? Is that not my husband? Is my eye paining me or what?" Liza asked herself.
