DISASTER
Chapter 3

Who are you? Nelson asked the caller
Please give my wife the phone. I want to talk to her, replied the caller.
Nelson looked at Neme, and she turned her face to the other side immediately.
Who is your wife? What's her name?
Chinemerem nah, Neme, Neme, Neme... please give her the phone.
Nelson ended the call and faced Neme.
For how long now, Neme? He asked with a teary voice.
I don't know Nelson; you're the cause of all these. You pushed me.

I, Nelson, pushed you? Okay, leave my house and never return. He barked.
I will leave. I am tired. Let me go and meet Alex. I love Alex, and he is the father of my unborn child. Neme cried, picking up her handbag.
The father of your unborn child,I see. Leave this place right now before I summarize your life at this moment.
Neme looked at him from head to toe, sighed, and walked away from him.
Neme..he called
Get behind me, you Satan, she replied, walking faster.
Neme got home, she sat down crying uncontrollably, she wished Alex never called, she has messed up her marriage, and she doesn't even know the real father of her unborn child.
Her mom opened the door, and she came in with Alex.
What are you doing here, Alex? Neme shouted
I came to check up on you. Who picked up your call today? Why was he asking me those questions? He asked
Which of the questions do you want me to answer? Alex,  please leave now.
I'm going nowhere. Neme,why are you ch?
You're the caller, I guess. Who are you and Neme?
What's the problem, please? Mrs. Cynthia asked, shocked.
I am Neme's husband. They responded at the same time.
Neme held her hair,ran inside her room, and locked the door.
I don't know you, young man, said Mrs. Cynthia.
Me? You don't know me, Mrs. Cynthia? Alex shouted with anger written all over his face.
Nelson sighed and went to meet Neme.
Neme, please, we need to talk...
Talk about what initially? Talk about what Nelson said: After cheating on me with Dora, Nelson, I am done, she replied from inside.
I'm sorry, Neme,but who is that guy? Why is he claiming to be your husband? Are you married to him? Neme, please open the door.
Nelson Just leave. I'll be going to the hospital to abort this pregnancy, Nelson. I am tired. What did I ever do to you? You just paid my bride price weeks ago, and here you are cheating on me. Why can't you wait after the wedding? You can then cheat as you like. Please leave. Besides,  you asked me to leave your house too, so leave here.
You are also cheating. Neme, we can fix things, please. Forgive me, and I'll forgive you too. I can't afford to lose you. He pleaded, still knocking on the door.
You can't afford to lose me. Why did you cheat on me?
Dora drugged me; she did. He lied.
Neme stood up, unlocked the door, and stared at him.
You disgust me, Nelson. I forgive you, but... where's Alex? Has he gone?
Who is Alex? The guy out there? He asked
Neme didn't reply; she pushed Nelson and went to the parlor.
What was the meaning of that, Neme? Why do you want to bring shame upon this family? You're always disgracing yourself; who was that? Her mom thundered.
I don't know him, mom, she replied, turning to face. Nelson
Let's go, please, she said, going outside.
I'm sorry for what just happened. Neme is always causing confusion at times. Mrs. Cynthia said, patting him.
It's mom; see you later. He answered and left.
Everyone was busy preparing for Neme and Nelson's wedding. Nelson was in his room in the hotel where he lodged with his friends when Dora came in.
Hi Dora. Dan greeted
Hi Dan, what's up with you guys? She waved, laughing.
We are cool. You look pretty. Sam complimented
Thank you, Nelson. We need to talk.
Talk about what initially? Can't you see I'm busy? He asked
Nelson, this wedding is not going to hold.
Nelson and his friends stared at each other; the whole room was quiet like a graveyard.
