Arrested By Love

Episode 25

Amara wore a very short skirt on a high-heel shoes. One could see a small bag hanging on her elbow as she walked down the staircase. Unfortunately, she met her mother going up the stairs too.

“Amara, where are you going to?”
“To see Destiny at the hospital, Mummy”
“Get back immediately!” the mother commanded. “It’s barely few days your father was killed by the same man who you are going to see!” she added.
“Mother, he’s my friend! And you and i know the truth” Amara moved forward.
“Better start packing your things back to Paris!” the mother concluded.

At the hospital, Ebube became conscious and opened his eyes gradually to see a female face looking and siding beside him on the bed-that was Amara.

“Daria?” Ebube called with a low voice.
“Thank goodness you’re awake. It’s not Daria, it’s me Amara” Amara began to touch her cheeks smiling. Ebube opened his eyes widely trying to remember the name. “D-square is me, Amara” she added.

The name ‘D-square’ made thing easier for Ebube. So he called surprisingly, “Amarachi”
“Yes, it’s me”

Ebube fully became awake then looked around. He recognise that he was in the hospital. “What happened? And what are we doing here?” he asked.

“I came back for the death of my father”
“Your father?”
“Yes”

“Is your father dead? How?”
Hearing the question, Amara withdrew her hands from his cheeks to his palm. She began to sq££ze it gently in tears. Of course she was touched because if Ebube had known that the man he kill was her father he wouldn’t have killed him.

“Why are u crying? I’m so sor…” a knock at the door interrupted Ebube then Daria entered with Lana. She paused at a distant when she saw Amara in tears and holding Ebube’s hand after which Amara withdrew her hand swiftly and stood up.

“Hi, Daria, welcome” she said drying her tears.

“Why are u crying” Daria asked her.
“Never mind”
“Daria?” Ebube called Daria’s attention before she rushed him with a smile. However, Lana kept looking at Amara occasionally.
“Thank God you are awake” Daria also held his hand.

“How did i end up here?” Ebube asked.
“No need, the good news is that you’re awake”

Ebube touched her face gently with a smile on his face and said at the very sight of Amara, “I’m happy to see your face again”

“I’m happy too” Daria replied. Even Amara smiled but left the room immediately..
