[Eno is in the sitting room and is thinking about her predicaments. A knock on the door]
Eno - Who could this be? Please come right in, the door is open.
Oh!, it’s you Mary, long time no see. How body?
Mary - I dey manage am oh!.
Eno - Abeg sit down for chair make we talk. Where have you been?
Mary - I travel go village.
Eno - How is everybody there? I hope you bring something for me?
Mary - Everybody are fine. Abeg my friend, if you want something, make you come house.
Eno, from the look on your face, it seems something is really wrong. What is the matter?
Eno - My friend, I am undergoing one of the most difficult time in my life. I pray I survive it. My father and mother in-laws will never allow me have peace in my matrimonial home. They see me as a person who can never give them grandchildren. They have even told me to go look for another husband and live their son alone. There is no name I have not answer in this house.
Mary - Look my friend, you are the fault. I have told you time without number to come with me to an herbalist at our village who can give you a child. But your reply is always, “I am not interested”.
I tell you wait till your parents-in-law sent you parking and marry another wife for their son, then you will understand that “husband is a scarce commodity these days”.
Eno - My friend, I do not expect this from you again. Look, I have make-up my mind to wait for God’s time.
Mary - Wait! Go on waiting when you are 70 years then the reality will hit you like an atomic bomb.
Eno - God forbid.
Mary - Me, I don finish my own and I want begin dey go home O!.
Eno - Make I escort you reach outside. I dey tire since I return from work. Click here to read each chapter story of “Trusting in God” from Act 1 - Act 11
