I’ve been married for the past 17 years. My name is Mrs Olajumoke, I’m 35 years old. For 17 years I’ve been praying for the fruit of the womb. I and my husband have been to different hospitals for medical check up, but all to No avail.
The Doctors said we are both fertile (meaning we can Both make babies).
I married my husband at age 18 while I was still a virgin. My husband has always been there for me in everything, understanding and supportive in our trying times.
About 2 years ago, my childhood friend advised me on what to do….
Following her advice I remembered “Bayo” My 22 years old house help.
Bayo has been with us since he was 8 years old, we treated him as if he was ours. I started talking to him about his personal life. Few months later, my husband travelled to his home town to see his people, so I utilized the opportunity!
I locked Bayo in my room and begged him to have s*x with me, He refused at first, then I threatened him that I would send him back to the village….he later agreed, so we had s*x 5 times b4 day break! The next day my husband came back.
Few weeks later, I discovered !’m pregnant, unknowing to Bayo that I was pregnant, I gave him some money, told him to take d money and go back to the village……..he was very gratefully satisfied but my husband objected but later reluctantly gave in and personally took him to the village.
Few days later I told my husband that I was pregnant and he instantly became the most happiest person in the world, he called his mother, updated them about the news and they started buying kid clothing and Toys.
Few months later we did scan and the doctors told us that it was twin. Glory be to God, I gave birth to taiwo (female) and kehinde (male).
Then it was on Saturday, few days after my delivery my husband woke me up in d middle of the night, held me close to his arms, looked into my eyes, and asked me “Jumoke, who is the father of our kids”?
I was shocked, scared that he must have known somehow, I just knew he had known because of the way he asked me, I didn’t know what to say, I was so shy bcus I knew I’ve betrayed his trust, I looked at his eyes and I burst into tears…….. he then told me “jumoke, before u start talking, I have a confession to make”.
I cleaned my face and sat upright. He went ahead and told me how he had unprotected s*x with a girl in his village and contacted STD and how he didn’t treat it for a very long time, that eventually when he went to the hospital, the doctors told him that the std he didn’t treat ontime had made him sterile (can’t impregnate a woman).
He however said he treated the STD b4 he got married to me, and he has always known that he was sterile, and that all those test we’ve been doing that he has been paying the doctors to give me a wrong result. He also added that one of the women he had s*x with back then got pregnant and the child is BAYO, our house help.
He went ahead saying that he has always wanted to suggest we adopt children but that he is waiting for the right time and trying to find courage to tell me about all these but hadn’t mustered the courage to do so. But that now that he has managed to do so, that he’ll like to know who the father of our twins is.
I don’t know what happened next but I found myself in the hospital surrounded by my family and his and my mother and younger sister were carrying our twins, and then two female doctor and a male doctor.
I recalled I was on the bed with my husband but I don’t know how come now in the hospital, I was initially told not to worry but later that evening my husband told me that I fainted in the middle of the conversation, that he rushed me to hospital and I was revived.
I thought to myself, why didn’t he allow me to die. Suddenly it seemed he noticed the worrying look on my face and instantly assured me not to worry that everything should be okay.
But this is not going to stop me worrying because it means everybody has known what happened and just as that was going in my mind and I was about asking him what he told them that made me faint, he went on to say he just told the doctor that the reason why I fainted could be as a result of after birth complications. I didn’t talk and then he continued to say that what happened is between us.
It is now over two weeks since I was discharged from hospital and just early this week, precisely on Monday night before we slept, he popped the question again. I didn’t give him any answer and he stopped.
But why must he know?
He wanted children and his family, especially his mother, wanted children and we now have them.
Why doesn't he want to know, thought he said he was normal and potent. However he has continued to ask me. Right now, I don’t know what to do, if to tell him, I’m confused, sick again.
Before I slept with Bayo, I vowed to die with the secret. Pls advice me, what do I do?
