My First Love, Episode 7
"Let's go to the bedroom so that you will make love to me. The police have arrested my husband and my children have gone to school. We are the only ones at home," I said to Fred with joy in my heart.
Fred did not even wait for me to finish talking before he lifted me up like a feather and carried me to my matrimonial bed. He did not bother to go upstairs to the guest room. He is bent on sleeping with me in my matrimonial bed where my husband usually sleeps with me.
"Many years ago, your husband took you away from me because he is rich. Now, I'm in America to take you back. Now, I'm sleeping with you in the same bed that your husband used to sleep with you. This is sweet revenge. I'm so happy," Fred said as he swung into action.
"I'm happy as well. I have been enjoying myself since you arrived in America. You are my first love and glad we have reconnected. Our plan to get married will come to pass. My husband has already been arrested. I have taken the most important step. Once he goes to jail, we will start preparing for our marriage, but I have to divorce him first" I said to Fred, but Fred said I'm being too slow.
"I want you to file for divorce today. You told me that divorce is easy in America. Start the process today. Call your lawyer to file for divorce for you. Your husband has already been arrested and there's no need to waste time anymore. Now that he has been arrested, you can claim you are filing for divorce because he used to beat you," Fred said.
After thinking for a while, I concluded that Fred was right. If I file for a divorce now, I will have the greatest advantage because my husband has been arrested for beating me. It is a lie, but that is the claim I'm going to make. The truth is that my husband has never beat me since he married me 10 years ago, but I need to lie to frame him.
When we finished making love, I stood up from the bed and put on my clothes. I picked up my phone and called my lawyer.
"I want to divorce my husband," I said. The lawyer was shocked and he asked if I was sure of myself.
"I'm not a child and I'm not drunk. I know what I want. What I want right now is to leave Chief Amata. Please, file for divorce today. The reason I want to divorce him is that he has been beating me for 10 years," I said.
Once I told the lawyer that my husband used to beat me, he immediately started sympathizing with me and promised to make sure I get a huge amount of money from the divorce.
"Please, I want to get half of Chief Amata's wealth as compensation for the years of beating I have endured in his house. This is what you should ask the court to give me. I want the court to give me half of his wealth," I said to the lawyer over the phone. The lawyer agreed and the process started that same day.
Meanwhile, that evening, I was invited to the police station to give more evidence of my husband beating me. I used makeup to make my face red again. I told Fred to land some sllaps on my face so that my face will turn brown. Fred landed me seven hot sllaps. Even though I asked for the sllaps, I began to wonder if Fred enjoyed beating me.
"Fred is sllapping me as if he has been waiting for an invitation to beat me up. I hope he will not be beating me after our marriage? Well, I did not say anything, but I cried. My face has now really turned brown. I now look like I was truly beating.
When I got to the police station, I presented my case strongly.
" Loom at my face. My face is always like this everyday. My husband has been beating me everyday for the past 10 years. I suffered in silence, but now is the time to speak up. Two days ago, my husband beat me up until I lost my pregnancy. I landed in the hospital and the doctor said I lost my baby because of the beating. That is why I couldn't hide my suffering anymore. Please help me and send him to jail," I told the police. I was crying.
The police officer investigating the case is looking like he believes my story. My husband was brought out and he was presented with all the things I said. My husband started crying. It was my first time to see him crying. It was my first time to see an old man crying, but I did not pity him. I'm determined to deal with him and take his money. I'm determined to marry a young man and enjoy life.
The police started questioning my husband. They asked him if it is true that he has been beating me for 10 years. My husband could not say a word. This is because he knows I'm telling lies against him, but he didn't know what to say to defend himself.
The society always favours women in cases like this. It will be hard for the police to believe my husband after I have told them that he made me lose a pregnancy. I know what I was doing. This is an emotional game and it is not based on facts. My husband is innocent, but people will not believe his own side of the story because I'm a woman. They will pity me and believe me. My husband knows this very well and that was why he opened his mouth to talk, but he couldn't say much.
"My dear wife, why are you doing this to me?" My husband asked. That was the only thing he could say. He didn't answer any of the questions the police officer asked him.
"Madam, we will charge your husband to court tomorrow. We want you to bring evidence that you lost a pregnancy. Bring a doctor's report stating when and how you lost the pregnancy. This will help us to prepare strong evidence against your husband. You must have gone to a hospital when you lost the baby, so you should have a doctor's report. Remember, it is mandatory to bring the doctor''s report. I will also like to follow you to the hospital where you were treated after your husband beat you," the police officer said.
The police officer asked me to go back home and return tomorrow with the report.
"When you come tomorrow, you will take me to the hospital where you were treated after your husband beat you and you lost a baby. I want to speak to the doctor who treated you," he said.
I left the police station with trouble in my heart. This is because everything I said is a lie and I don't have a doctor's report. My husband did not beat me and I did not go to the hospital. I wonder what I'm going to tell the police tomorrow.
