My New Body

One major thing that happens to married women after years of marriage and childbirth is the sagging of the breasts. This is one thing that a lot of women have in common although it varies. Some women's breasts are completely gone while a few enjoy fuller boobs. The reason for sagged breasts is not farfetched; breastfeeding of children and husbands. Some women have even admitted that their husbands suckle more than the kids. That is a known fact anyway because even years after the child is weaned off breastfeeding, the husband carries on without recourse to the owner of the breasts. 

So, the main cause of sagging breasts in women contrary to what most people think is the man and never the innocent babies who suckle for a purpose. 

Being aware of what goes on in a woman's body after childbirth, nurturing a child and a husband, I strongly believe that it is insensitive for a husband to complain about his wife's body let alone recommend any sort of body enhancement surgeries. 

When Akan gave his wife an ultimatum to either have a breast lift or implants and a tummy tuck to save her marriage, it was rather callous especially since it was something that his wife Nsika never considered.

She openly spoke against women who took the risk of plastic surgeries. She felt it was an easier option although it was dangerous. However, when her marriage was on the line, she knew she had to do everything humanly possible to save her home. Her children were young and needed a stable home and so she accepted to have the two surgeries six months apart. 

A delighted Akan paid for one of the best plastic surgeons and Nsika spent over one year in the United States getting the body her husband wanted. She had the breast surgery first ad her sagged boobs went up to a 36DD cup just like her husband recommended. Unlike the breast surgery, the tummy tuck was complicated because her wound did not heal as expected. 

On another follow-up visit, it was discovered that the wound had also been infected and she had to be admitted again. It took over six months to heal from the tummy tuck surgery and Nsika feared for her life. 

It took exactly two years and three months before she was given a clean bill of health and allowed to go home.  On her way back, as she waited for her flight to Lagos at the JFK airport, Jack sat opposite her and when she looked up after a long while of playing candy crush on her phone, Jack's tiny eyes were peering at her and she became uneasy. 

Jack smiled and waved at her with just two fingers. Nsika nervously waved back and she became conscious of the stranger's stare which made her more nervous. Men had made passes at her in the past but she had never felt as uneasy as she did at that moment. She was grateful to hear her flight being called and she scurried off as quickly as she could. 

Some hours into the flight, Nsika couldn't sleep and so she walked to the back of the plane to stretch her legs and almost jumped in shock when she saw Jack standing there holding a glass of wine. 

She wanted to run back but Jack suddenly spoke saying, "we meet again" without looking at her, Nsika said yes and added, "I wonder who is stalking who?" which made Jack smile. He introduced himself as Jack and told her that his company had a project in Lagos. He would be around for two weeks and that was his fourth trip to Lagos that year. 

They chatted about different things and only realised that they had been standing for that long when the flight attendant told them that the captain would be announcing their descent into Lagos in a short period. 

Jack made his way back to the business class but not without exchanging numbers with Nsika. 

Can you guess what happened next?
