CHAPTER TWO(ONE TEASPOON OF LOVE)
It has been three weeks since Mark and Lillian tied the knot,they were still sharing nice memories. Eventhough they were both workers,they found time for each other. Lillian prepared fried sweet potatoes and eggs, she was waiting for Mark to return so they could have dinner together, it was getting late and Mark still hasn't returned from work. She decided to wait for him while watching a series on TV.
After an hour,the door opened and Mark walked in, looking tired.
"Hey sweets,sorry I'm late,work was hectic". He knew she wouldn't ask him why he was late but he felt he needed to explain to her. She didn't say anything, just walked to him,took his briefcase, removed his tie and told him he should have called her though. He told her his mom called and invited them for dinner the next day.
. At the evening dinner,Mark's mom kept staring at Lillian, it was just a little dinner but Lillian wasn't comfortable. No matter how hard you try to forget about the injury, the scar is always there. Lillian tried to forget the past,the painful words Mark's Mom told her just because she didn't want Her son to marry a girl from another tribe.
She was brought back from the journey of her thoughts by Mark's father who wanted to know how living together has been for them.
"So how is marriage life? I see my boy is looking fresh" he said smiling,trying to make everyone laugh since he noticed the atmosphere of the table wasn't nice. Mark and Lillian replied him. Though he was trying to make everyone laugh, his mission failed as Mrs Ade kept a straight face.
"Are you not going to say anything? Mr Ade asked his wife since she has been quiet. Though Mark would prefer his mom being quiet than saying something rude to his wife.
" What do you expect me to say? Any sensible daughter in law would know that she's supposed to come early to help her mother in law prepare dinner when asked to come over for dinner for the FIRST time after their marriage " Mrs Ade replied her husband. Mrs Ade has small lips which makes it obvious that she's the mother of Mark.
Mark tried to reply his mom but she wouldn't let him explain. She gave Lillian laser stares. Everyone on the table was staring at Lillian knowing Mrs Ade wanted to hear her explain. "I'm very sorry ma,I tried my best to come earlier but we had so much to do at work and you are right ma,I didn't know I was supposed to help my mother in law cook,that's my wrong ma,if I had helped to prepare dinner, maybe the salt wouldn't have been too much". Mark was surprised at Lillian's reply but he kept quiet.
After the dinner, Mark had a little discussion with his parents before they left. while driving home,the couple didn't engage in any discussion. Lillian was busy with her phone but Mark just focused on driving the car.
Lillian noticed Mark's quietness,she realised he was angry because of the way she replied his mom,she wanted to start a conversation with him but Mark said he was sleepy.
" Good morning, sweets,breakfast is ready". Lillian tried to loosen the awkward atmosphere between her and her husband but Mark just replied "morning" . They were eating their food quietly till Mark told Lilian that the food was salty.
"The rice is salty,you should reduce the amount of salt you add to the food next time". Mark was being sincere but Lillian felt he was doing it on purpose because of what she said to his mom last night.
" I'm sorry, I was rude to your mom"Lillian told Mark sincerely, because she was tired of him giving her the cold shoulder.
"I was angry you said it that way though she was rude too and I told her I didn't like it when I spoke to them. He smiled as he told her.
"Sweets,I'll reduce the salt next time but you should try adding one teaspoon of love to our relationship.

Chasing smokesLillian I've been having dreams,you know those dreams you wake up from and feel relief that it was dream. I wouldn't like to share such dreams with Mark,perhaps I don't really care about dreams but this one left me shaking, more like trembling,I'm unable to control my hands,they keep shaking,I'm still feeling startled. But the dream wasn't scary,it wasn't some beast with three heads pursuing me with a knife. It was me,running in the dark, chasing smokes,trying to see where it leads me,my bloody naked skin didn't bother me,I was running after the smoke in confusion, I could hear mark calling me but I didn't turn,I was focused, running.

NO HARM Unsettling dreams
UNSETTLING DREAMS Mark wakes up,the room is dark,he feels unsettled with the atmosphere around, he hears the wailing of a child,he looks around searching for Lillian. "Sweets,Sweets" he calls but there's no response, the only sound he can hear is the sound of a crying baby. He rushes down to the sitting room,the child is naked on the sofa,crying. He looked at the child confused, "what's a child doing in our house?",he asks. It feels like he's going insane, a scenerio he couldn't understand but his emotions were mixed,happiness and sadness. He looks at the kitchen, he can see a figure standing there,vague. There's a baby in his house,he can't find his wife or Jay. The more he moves closer to the kitchen, the slower his steps begin,his curiosity about the figure in the kitchen becomes frightening, why is he afraid? He ge

A LITTLE MORE FAITHLILLIAN Jemima called,she has been calling everyday since I saw the envelope, she never fails to call,just like my husband and mom,they all think I've lost it, but,they just can't see why I'm unhappy when I'm expecting a baby, but that is not the point, I am not unhappy, I am just afraid of trusting too much and still loosing it. I've never heard Mark speak so much about faith than this period of our life Mark does all the house chores and cooking, he doesn't allow me to lift a finger,we are being so careful, especially Mark,I don't think I can face him if I lose this baby,if after all these, it doesn't stay, I'll feel so much pity towards him. I'll tell him we need a maid when he returns. "Welcome sweets" I walked to him to take his briefcase, but he doesn't want me to. My baby bump isn't even noticeable yet. I frown a little to

NO HARM A crack in the wall
A SMALL CRACKMARK I got tired of my mom pressuring me for grand children. After she found out that Lillian couldn't have a child, she let her be. I thought it was peace at last but she started disturbing me to get a wife or divorce my wife. I couldn't bring myself to tell my wife about what my mom said,I mean,it wasn't her fault. Then Kemi came into the picture,she was the perfect bride for me according to my mom. If marrying Kemi would make my Mom stop bothering me and my wife, I decided to agree. But Lillian is a tough nut to crack,I know she wouldn't just allow me marry a woman because I wanted to end my mom's war so I played "falling for Kemi" but if only she knew that I didn't fight for our love for so long just to divert my heart to another woman later. * &nbs
