Vivian looked at her son, frank, with concern. You're a successful business man and could have any woman you want, yet you've chosen to remain single. Is there a reason you haven't found a partner? I want to be a grandmother before I die. Please tell me what's holding you back. Frank smiled and look at his mother and said, you know am a busy type, flying from one country to another attending to many meetings. I don't really have time to sit and discuss with ladies and also afraid of marrying a wrong partner. Because when women see you are wealthy, they will hide their real self only to be enjoying your wealth. Vivian looked at him in an angry manner and said. Shut up!! not all women, women are not the same for Christ sake. Can't you see how you are? gradually growing old every day. If you can't get a wife for yourself then I will do it for you. There is this girl in the village she is very good and hard working, I think this is an opportunity to bring her to you. Frank was shocked!! mom what are you trying to say? You want to get a wife for me, this can't be possible!! I will get married when am ready and I will choose a lady my heart please. You can't just give me what I don't want, beside she's a village champion, I want a lady who will be attending to meetings and signing documents when am not around not an illiterate. Frank don't tell me that the rumours are true!! So you're a ritualist who has vowed not to get married? Listen closely let me tell you, if you don't marry that particular girl, I will not accept any other lady in this house or else she will live her life miserably!! Vivian said angrily. I totally disagree with this opinion of yours. You have given birth to me, I now have the right to make decisions and if my opinion can't stand, mom, just bear it in mind that you've drawn the battle line. Frank said as he stood up and leave the room. After that discussion Vivian had with his son,frank on the issue of getting him a wife, she began to treat frank in a different way, making him to be uncomfortable In his own house. Frank can't bear it any longer, he decided to get a lady, Deborah by name as his girlfriend. After the have dated for months, frank found out that Deborah was the exact lady he had been searching for, perfect in all things. He engaged her, and the both wedded and become couples. Frank!! you have succeeded in marrying an outcast as a wife. You turn down on my advice just to bring in a witch "Vivian said". Oh mom, what is it this time?? I've gotten myself a wife and I can see you are not happy about it, what has Deborah done to deserve such words "he replied". Are you blind? Deborah is not the perfect wife for you, I don't know what you've seen in her or are you under a spell. Since you can't obey my words, I will live your house but just watch and see "Vivian said as she leaves". Two weeks after the wedding, frank travelled for a business trip, which he will stay for months before coming back. Deborah was left alone in a big house and had nobody to talk with, she decided to pay her mother-in-law a visit at the village. Without knowing that's the beginning of her problems. The next day, Deborah pack her things and traveled to the village. Mama!! Mama!! am here o, your sons wife has come to stay with you a little "said Deborah". Vivian had the voice from inside and recongise whose voice was that. She hurridly came outside to know if her ears was deceiving her, she saw Deborah and hug her, and claim to be happy with her visiting. My daughter, go inside and drop your bags and have some rest. Vivian sat down, smiled a little and said "this is the perfect time I have been waiting for, since my son neglected my advice and married you, Deborah i will make you barren!!. What is wrong with you!!This is now a year you got married to my son, and you have not given him a child. I told my son that you are just a tree without fruits yet he rejected my advice and married you. Now he's facing the consequence. "Vivian shouted. Take it easy on me mom, this is just a year, I will surely get pregnant and give you grandchildren when the time comes, let's keep hoping on God"Deborah replied ". Hoping on what?? Can't you see am getting old and I can't wait to hold my grand children. And you still have the guts to tell me when the time comes. When will the time come!!. When will it come? will I wait till heaven falls or when the holy spirit overshadow you like virgin Mary. I have waited for a year, I can't wait any longer, am running out of patience"she added". Deborah can no longer bear the words of her mother-in-law, tears began to rush down her eyes like rivers rushing out from rocks. Few hours later, frank returns from work and saw Deborah sitting very guiet. Why are you sitting like this? honey, what's wrong!why crying! say something "frank said". Did I hear my ears right? who did you just call honey, how can you call bitter leaf, honey! you married your fellow man in the name of a wife, I can see that something is wrong somewhere. Stop it mom!! it is just a year and you are desperate for a child, give us time. Even if she can't conceive I will adopt dozens of children for you "frank said". No!No!No!! This can't happen in this house, I need my own grandchild not anothers pls. This is really getting out of hand, frank!! you've to choose between me or Deborah."Vivian said. From your words mom I can see you have hands on what that's happening to my wife, don't let me choose, because you won't like the result "he replied ". You don't have to choose me over your mom, everything will be fine someday. Before she could finish what she's saying, Vivian gave her two hot slaps. Is this just a mere dream or a revelation. Why do I always see Vivian in my dreams touching my stomach and declaring mysterious words that I can't understand. Maybe am not the cause of my barrenness, someone has a hand in it. What if I try to tell frank about my dreams, he might think I made it up to pay claims on his mother"Deborah said". (Frank walked in and saw Deborah walking up and down the room murmuring) what's wrong with you! You looked so worried, what's troubling you. " he asked".( Deborah was shocked) ah! ah! how long have you been standing here. For few minutes and why are you talking to yourself "he asked". Nothing actually, just a nightmare and am worried about it "she said". A nightmare! Can you share it with me, I will love to hear it " frank responded". I don't know how it will sound to you, the dream is all about.... Is all about what!! what do you have to say, you have nothing reasonable to say than giving me a child "Vivian interrupted". Excuse me mom, you are not invited in this discussion, pls stay away from this" frank defended" as he turns to Deborah and said "can you continue what you were telling me pls. Oh! Is nothing I have forgotten what I wanted to say and she left. (The next day, frank received an urgent call from the office and left before his wife could wake up from sleep). Vivian walk straight to Deborah's room and saw her praying, she interrupted her by saying " I have been watching you for the past few days and I can sense that things are not alright, something truly is bothering you but you're not comfortable discussing the issue with my son in my presence or are my the topic of your gossip. Excuse me woman, I don't know what you are talking about, can you please leave my room " Deborah said". What! What gave you the right to talk to me in that manner? "Vivian ask as she walk close to slap her, Deborah hold her hand and push her to the floor. Honey, I think your mother is the cause of my barrenness "Deborah said". What! I didn't hear you well, I know you are not in good terms with her but that doesn't make her the cause of your problems. " Frank replied" I know what am talking about, I have seen her countless times in my dreams with some women declaring words I don't understand "she added". So are you trying to say my mom is a witch! don't say it again because she will not be pleased when she hear it"he said". What is going on here! Frank I heard your voice from inside, what are you guys debating on "Vivian batch in". Is nothing mom, we are just discussing about something "he defended". About what! Debby you said am the cause of your barrenness, how possible can that be, you are trying to say am a baby sucker! why didn't I eat up frank when he was still in my womb "Vivian said". I know you, stop pretending, you evil woman, I have seen you in dreams eating my kids you witch!! (Deborah said as she tries to leave, frank drag her back and gave her a slap) who are you talking to in that manner, don't you know she is your mother in-law "frank said". Did you slap me "she asked" I will slap you again if you don't respect yourself. "He said" Just take a look at who you married, a lady who can't respect her mother in-law, I told you earlier that she's not qualified to be your wife but you didn't listen " Vivian said" she turns to Deborah and said "listen young lady, your days are numbered, just get prepared to leave this house soon . Frank I can't believe you slap me, am still shocked! But you were here when your mom called me a barren woman. Don't worry the God I serve will visit me someday, I trust in him( Deborah said still crying). Pastor! Pls I need your help, am dying in pain and sorrow- Deborah said running into the Pastor's office.What's wrong young lady! who is chasing you "the pastor asked". Am really suffering in the hands of my mother in-law because I have not given her a child since I married her son for the past one year and am also seeing her in my dreams with some women touching my stomach and chanting some evil songs that I can't understand "she said". Are you really sure of what you are saying! for how many times have you seen her in your dreams "he asked" I have seen her countless times and she's now maltreating me, I don't know if she had posses my husband too "she said crying". Don't worry, their is no need to cry becos when you cry the devil will be happy, this is a spiritual warfare not a crying marathon, I want you to fast and pray for two days with this holy oil then the final day I will join you and conclude it "he said". (Thanks allot pastor, she stood up and left). Where are you coming from! you think you can sneak out of this house and come back when ever you like "Vivian shouted". Mama am just coming back from the church, I went to meet a pastor " Deborah said" A pastor? Oh you have become pastor's wife, a little thing pastor, a little pastor and I know you are not coming in with that thing you are holding "Vivian query". This holy oil! the pastor said I should be praying with it, I did not see anything wrong with it "Deborah said and walk into the house. (Frank returns back from work). Honey! I told you that this my problem is not ordinary someone has a hand in it "Debby said" hmm again this time and what made you said that! "he asked". I went and meet our pastor today, he said this is a spiritual battle that I should be praying with the holy oil he gave to me and he assured me that God will see my true "Debby said". In that case I will join you in the prayers"he said". What!! It can't happen "Vivian shouted". Vivian tried all she could to stop the prayer from hosting but all to no avail and she had no other option than to pretend to avoid been a suspect. On the second day of the prayer, Deborah and her husband were studying their Bible as the wait for the pastor to come. Son!! Are you sure that the pastor will break your wife free from barrenness, you know the can't be trusted these days, majority of them are using marine powers in the name of God "Vivian said". (Deborah looked at her but didn't utter a word) mom! John has been our pastor all these years, we have seen what God has done through him, he is indeed a man called by God "frank replied". Honey, I think is time to start singing worship as we wait for the pastor "Deborah said" As the sang for few minutes the pastor came in and sense that the atmosphere was not good, he began to speak in tongues, Deborah raised a song and the prayer changed dimension. Vivian looked at them and smiled quietly as she claim to be praying. As the pastor pressed deeper in the spirit to clear the atmosphere, Vivian wasn't comfortable as the presence of God has covered everywhere. She went inside the next room and the presence of God was still there. Where is your mom! I have a question to ask her " the pastor asked still blasting in tongues". (Frank left to drag his mother in, the pastor followed him) the saw Vivian rolling on the floor and screaming, pst John increased the volume of his tongue as he was already soaked with sweat, Deborah crying and praying passionately. What have you done to her! where did you tie her! "the pst asked in an angry tune". I don't know what you are talking about, I have no hands in what that's happening to her "Vivian replied still rolling on the floor". Go and get the anointed oil "he said". Deborah ran inside her room and behold the oil was nowhere to be found. My mother-in-law's enchantment 8 Deborah search for the oil and couldn't find it, she was worried about who would have taken it from where she hid it. Vivian was still rolling around on the floor screaming "leave me" "leave me alone" am not the cause of her barrenness. (Frank can no longer bear to see his mother rolling on the floor, he couldn't control his emotions but to shout) stop!! Stop!! my mother is not a witch and can never be the cause of my wife problem. Pst John and Deborah were surprised at the words of frank. Honey, are you sure you know what you're doing, can't you see with your eyes! your mother is on the floor meaning she has something to do with my problems "Deborah said". Listen Deborah, if my mom is a witch she would have killed me, I wouldn't have been successful in business so shut up your mouth and you pst John please leave my house, I don't need this deliverance anymore "he said". As pastor John packed up to leave, Deborah saw the anointed oil on top of the fridge, she rush and took it and pour it on Vivian. She screamed, I will confess!! I will confess!! the fire Is too much on me. Mom what are you saying "frank said". Son, am the cause of your wife barrenness, I tied her womb when she visited me in the village, I took her undies and I put something in the food she ate. please forgive me, Deborah forgive me "Vivian said crying". The next day pst John travelled to the village with them and destroy those ENCHANTMENT. Few months later, Deborah became pregnant. THE END @Bu Eze
