Hey good people! Welcome to the month of July, I've been trying to change my writing time to human time, been reading a lot about sleep time and so I want to change my pattern so I can live long. Hmm.. I still have a lot to accomplish.
If there's a break in transmission (lol) please know that I'm trying to adjust. Meanwhile, I'm not sure what to say about today's story.
Gigi is currently confused about the discovery that she just made. Her mother is a well respected woman in the place of worship where they had attended from when she was a child.
She met her husband through her mother, her husband’s mother and her mother had been good friends from when she got into the University and when her mother’s new best friend saw her she immediately took a liking to her and told her that she would be her daughter in law.
It all started like a joke when her mother’s friend aunty Flo, visited with her son Jake and they all laughed over the fact that his mother actually dragged him to meet his future wife. Well, they got married and they still think that it was the best decision they took to have listened to their parents.
Now the story is with the two mothers, Gigi got a call that her mother needed help and that she should come to an address, first she wondered what her mother was doing in that part of town in the first place. It was almost in the slums and her mother had never been to that part of town to the best of her knowledge.
She tried her mother's number but it was switched off, she did not want to cause any panic so instead of calling any of her siblings, she quickly called her husband to come home so they could go together, just in case it was a prank call that was going to put her in harm’s way.
Jake drove while Gigi prayed that her mother was safe, she had lost her father almost six years earlier and her mother had become everything to her and her siblings. She was their role model; strong, disciplined, highly spiritual, hardworking and very upright. So many thoughts ran through her mind especially how she would break the news to her younger siblings if it was something really terrible.
They finally arrived the address, it turned out to be a residential building and as Gigi walked up to the gate, a young man approached her and introduced himself as the caller, Lucas ran out of the car as soon as the man approached his wife but had to exercise caution when he saw that the man appeared harmless.
The young man was blunt when he told both of them that Gigi’s mother was inside that particular house with her lover, it took every bit of strength in Gigi to remain standing. He asked them to wait in the car and watch when her mother would leave, he told them that she would leave first and an hour later her young lover would exit the house.
It played out exactly as he had said it would, but the surprise was far from being over, Jake's mother came walking out of the same house, while Gigi and Jake waited for their mother’s lover. Gigi had to hold her husband back from jumping out of the car, his own mother walked out with her young man who looked like a fitness personnel.
The caller had revealed to them that these over sixty women were a group of friends; and they came to spend time with their young lovers in that exclusive house.
The women were mostly widows who were highly placed in the society so they chose that shabby location to hide their forbidden pleasure. The location seemed safe enough; their peers were never going to come to that part of town and the building belonged to one of the women through a third party.
Gigi and Jake realised the secret to the bond that their mothers had; both of them are still not sure how to handle this shocking discovery.
Both women are widows and somehow are free to live the way they want to but the couple still feel that this is very wrong and need their mothers to stop; they both have moral obligations to uphold. The young man who made that call was Gigi’s mother’s aggrieved former lover; he was also a staff in the institution where Gigi’s mother had worked. He revealed everything about Gigi’s mother and her friends to Gigi and Jake.
Jake has not gotten himself to say a word to his mother and she doesn't know why her son's behavior towards her suddenly changed.
Both women are planning a short vacation to Kenya; they had both embarked on such trips a couple of times before. This time, Gigi and Jake know that there's more to this particular trip. How do they put an end to this very illicit habit?

Dear Amaka,
ReplyDeleteVery pathetic,
I can imagine that the lives of widows may be quite lonely and loveless; with strong temptation to seek embraces of younger men.
But lack of moral freedom; free rein to our disordered impulses is the greatest tragedy that can befall anyone.
And given that the gravity of sin increases with the severity of scandal; theirs is quite grave and their scandal is very severe.
The remedy; the children should be bold enough to face the two sinful mothers and let them know the severity of scandal they have caused.
Without undue publicity, because sinners still do have proprietary rights over their good name, they should commit them to fervent prayers.
A lot of prayers are needed because a lot of grace are needed to break from hypocrisy (double life) associated with sinful lust.
Ok so what's the problem here? Who are they cheating on?? Whose husband is it? I don't get what the problem is. Looks to me like the kids are being very judgemental here. The two women are adults and have "been without" for a ways. Marriage isn't for them obviously so this is how they scratch their itch. It's their prerogative. Most they can complain of is the location and that's easily remedied. Ko s'arugbo ni Ghana jo.
ReplyDeleteOur society is a bit complicated. The women should look for companions their own age to marry. The children should handle this issue as adults. We all are sexual beings.
ReplyDeleteIf those widows were widowers having secret trysts with young lovers, would anyone have called the children to out" them?
ReplyDeleteChai....... what a beautiful arrangement, full joy to d mothers jor. Live it up !!!!
ReplyDeleteThe children should get a life joo! Let their mothers be biko! The mothers are adults and are free to enjoy themselves. The snitch should go take a high dive into a teacup! If he was still enjoying the 'Ife nsoli' would he have 'blown the whistle'?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting piece we've got here.
ReplyDeleteLogically, these old chics aren't hurting anybody so they should be left alone.
Morally, they are very wrong and bad examples to those looking up to them for guidance.
The children's disappointment is justified coz no matter how grown up one May be, it's still unimaginable to hear that one's mother is having sex even if the partner is one's father.
To the snitch, I think they have withdrawn the guards from the lagoon. So he should do the needful.

I don't just understand this argument of being an adult? If what they two widows are doing is morally right where at a hidden location? They widow yes and have a right to remarry but not a right to illicit sex. Beside the life duality is sinful and should be seen to be so. Being adult do not justify committing sin. Their children disappointment is premised on the fact that they are living a life of duality.
ReplyDeleteThese children are not serious. They should thank their mothers for being discreet. The young lover of my friends mother lives with her (he is younger than 4 of her kids)
ReplyDeleteThe young lover(she is younger than 3 of us & is mate with the 4th) of my Pastor father sleeps over at will.
Dear Amaka,
ReplyDeleteI followed the comments trail of the forbidden pleasure.
I was a bit saddened but not surprised.
My friends are fast losing their sense of sin.
Given awareness of our wretchedness and ugly personal sins, we have become afraid to call sin by its name.
We are quick to rationalize disordered acts as rights since we are adults.
It will be very unfortunate for our society when we become relativistic - no sense of right or wrong based on natural law.
This calls for re evaluation of the ethos of our society.
What do we really care about: moral integrity or forlorn pleasure?.
I dont see any problem here! They are both widows so technically, they're not cheating on anybody. What law says that you should be with someone of your age.
ReplyDeleteAbeg make them carry go! Y.O.L.O!!!!!
Their husbands are dead so pls no ome to cheat on and they wre hidding it tats why they chose that particular location if it wasnt for an agrevied lover no one should have found out
