13 years in marriage

Chapter Seven

Lauren sounds really confident about this, I'm no longer interested in going round and drinking different medications. I've had enough and it doesn't work.

"Where do you want to take me this time around, Lauren?". I asked her with doubts because she once took me somewhere, yet nothing ever worked out in my favour. So yes I have reasons to doubt if it will work out.

"I want to take you to my pastor. He's a very powerful man man of God. I know you're probably wondering why I took you to the shrine master when there is a powerful man of God right?? Well, I knew him after I took you to the shrine master. I've known the pastor for the past two years now and honestly things I've really changed in my life. He has changed a lot of people's lives and I believe he might change your life as well. So what do you say?? Lauren explained everything to me and asked if I want to go ahead and try this one more time.

"Well, since I'm still desperate to have a child, ok I will try this for the last time. Though I can't really tell you that I have hope about this. I have tried a lot of things so yes you can understand me". I said this with a doubtful voice. So after I told her that, she asked me when we can go and I told that I'm expecting my mother in-law so I will go when she goes back home.

"Actually this weekend I'm expecting my mother in-law, she said she's coming to visit. It won't be okay leaving her alone at home especially that she's upset with me. I will tell you when we can go". I told her and I thanked her for always trying her level best to help me. "Lauren, thank you for always being there when I need you and for always trying your best to help me. You're indeed a very good friend and a sister". I appreciated her.

"Well, you can always count on me for anything Miriam, we have been friends for so long, so yes you're more like my sister to me and I will do anything for my sister". She replied with a cheerful voice.

"Alright then, bye". I hanged up and continued with what I was doing.

Weekend...

It's weekend, I'm anxious to the thought of my mother in-law coming here. My husband and I are patiently waiting for our mother to alive. My husband knows that his mother talks a lot, so he tells me not to be upset and just ignore whatever she may say. "Honey, you know that mom talks a lot and she never gets tired of it. Please don't be upset, just ignore whatever she may say in a hurtful manner ok". My husband tells me and I just nodded my head as I know this weekend is gonna be hell for me.

Time has passed since my husband and I had our talk and maybe mother in-law might be here anytime soon...

Mother in-law POV:

I'm on a tax going to visit my son after a while. He married a very beautiful wife but she can't conceive, so to me that's no beauty at all. When someone gets married, they need to have children, otherwise why are they marrying in the first place? I need grandchildren from my son and if it means getting another wife for my son, then I will do just that for him. He simply can't just be in a marriage for nothing.

"I'm going to talk to my son today. He cannot be married yet has no children for 13 good years, no, I will not allow such a thing to continue going on under my nose, no!".I'm talking to myself as I am on my way to my son's house. After few minutes, I spotted my son's house and I knew I have finally alive.

Daniel's POV:

We have been waiting for mom to alive and time has passed since she told me over the phone that she has started off her journey coming here. I'm pretty sure she will be here soon.

"I think mom will be here in few minutes". I'm telling my wife who looks so lost and out of place. From her facial expressions, I can tell that she's really scared of mom because of the issue we're facing. So I decide to calm her down by holding her.

"Hey my love, don't be scared, it's all gonna be okay". I assure my woman. To be honest, I don't like seeing my wife like this. But I don't know what I can do about it. My mom talks non stop and in these past years that Miriam and I have been together, my mom never said anything nice about my wife apart from when we had gotten married. Ever since she found out that my wife is having difficulties in conceiving, she's been saying awful things about my wife. And she keeps on advising me to remarry another wife. But I don't want to do that cause I know that would hurt my wife and hurting Miriam is the last thing I would ever do. Not even in my widest dreams do I ever think of hurting her.
