Bimbo was seen shouting and crying after she had rushed out of her room. Everyone has known bimbo as a woman with nonchalant attitude, she never took any thing serious even if it depends on her life, she was a woman who was known for her barrenness for a long period of time. Twenty five years of marriage, without missing her period let alone carrying a baby in her womb .Her husband kola was a very patient man ,he loved his wife dearly, he believed that one day she will definitely conceive and give birth .
Kola's mother unlike her son could not endure being patient for a long time, she needed to do some thing, she decided to visit her son, and talk it out with him. When she arrived at his son resident, she waited till midnight before bringing the topic up, she called unto her son,. " dear son I am very sorry for disturbing your rest , we need to discuss some issues which are very much crucial to your life and mine, it's about your wife, you should have known where I am arriving at by now, I think it's about time you got another wife who will carry your baby ".his mother spouted out .

The mother and son conversation went till late mid night, kola 's mother was trying to prevail on him to have a second wife but he sticked to his word, he adored his wife so much that he never wanted her to feel betrayed. The wife, on the other hand had no iota of care in her nature, she took everything with levity hand, she wasn't concerned about giving birth, all what she's good at was to eat, partying and sleep, whenever her husband tried to talk about how things can work out between them she would ignored him, her husband would be left with no choice than to leave her and do everything possible to help her become pregnant all alone.
Kola embarked on the said twenty one days fasting for his wife bimbo, meanwhile his wife was busying enjoying her husband's wealth, she shopped almost everyday, she cares not about his well-being, if not for the fact that her husband loved her so much she would have been sent packing to her father's house.And If only she had realized how good her husband was she wouldn't have behave like that to him,.
Finally, The Almighty answered kola 's prayer, his wife conceived and gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, he was very delighted, he gave thanks to the Almighty for his blessings upon him. Kola named the child " olohun lolope".
Olohunlolope was an handsome boy, he loved playing, he never for once disturbed his mother may be he was aware of his mother's nature.

Ah what a bad evening for the innocent boy, unknown to him the nylon contain poison element left on the ground for the rats, barely had he consumed it when he died, what a painful death!. Not until thirty minutes after his death before his mother who has forgotten that she gave birth realised his death just because of her non chalant attitude.
When she eventually realised that the poison substance she laid down for rats caused the death of her one and only son, or probably her last son, she dashed out shouting and proclaiming how stupid she was all this while. However, When people realized that her son was killed because of her indifferent attitude, they started raining curses on her, she was humiliated so much that she resorted to committing su***de by consuming the same substance consumed by her son.
