Episode 20

The continues noise from my phone woke me up very early in the morning.

It was an unknown number again.

I didnā€™t pick at first, I thought it was Ireti who kept texting me with different numbers threatening to kill herself if I donā€™t accept her back.

The phone kept ringing and I decided to pick up
The female voice from the other end do not sound familiar.
ā€ Hello, am I speaking with Mr Martin Jr?
ā€ Yes, whoā€™s this?
I queried impatiently.
ā€ My name is Doctor Kate of Royal Hospital. Iā€™m calling on behalf of a patient who was admitted to our hospital yesterday. She gave us your number to call and insist we do . Her name is Ireti and she took an overdose drug and passed out in her apartment. sir, we will appreciate if you can come down to see her because her life depends on it. Please. When should we expect you sir?

I ended the call and exclaimed sadly to myself.
ā€œOh my God, what sort of problem is this now. Why is Ireti doing this to herself? she actually meant it when she said she will take her own life.
Or is this a set up to get me back to her?ā€¦I seriously hate this.
I breathed in, changed over, took my car keys and drove out.

Since Iretiā€™s life depends on me showings up, that is exactly what I will do.
I pray she doesnā€™t die and I also hope is not a set up to get me to pity her and accept her back.

That girl is capable of anything.
I drove to the hospital and was directed to where she was
I began to count my step as I walk down to her hospital room.

It doesnā€™t seem right to me coming to see Ireti after all she did but I hate the idea of she trying to kill herself and I donā€™t want to be the reason for that.

She was lying still in her bed and a nurse was checking on her.

Immediately I came in the nurse left.
Ireti turned and looked at me, she looks normal to me but she had tubes and drip tagged on her body.
ā€ Thank you for coming Mart. I know you are not so heartless to want me dead.
I stood watching her. She still looks pretty and even had make up on her face and red lipstick on her lips.

ā€ Why did you asked them to call me? You should have called Papi and not me.
I said with a frown while trying to understand why I even came at first when it was obvious she set up the drama.

She doesnā€™t even look like someone that wanted to kill herself.
ā€œMart, stop doing this to me. All I ask is for a second chance. Everyone deserves it Mart. Please, reconsider. I totally bared myself open to you. I withheld nothing. I told you all my secrets that I never told anyone. Is all because I donā€™t want to hide anything anymore. I wanted you to understand every reason behind my actions. I regret most of my actions and wish I can undo them. Iā€™m not proud of my past but I canā€™t change it. I was spoilt with money and gifts and felt like I got it all. Iā€™m sorry Mart for hurting youā€¦I never meant to and I promise, I swear with my life that I will never hurt you ever again. Trust me this time and I wonā€™t disappointā€¦I will do everything you want me to do. Anything at all. I love you so much Mart. I loved you more than I do for Papi. Please, donā€™t turn me down. I have told you every of my secrets, everything I hide away from everyone. I told you because I donā€™t want to hold any secret, no matter how small it may be from you. Please Martā€¦

I shakes my head unconcerned.
ā€ And when your Papi shows up, you will returned back to him. Iretiā€¦ Iā€™m done with your lies and deceit. I wonā€™t fall for this pretense. Iā€™m moving on and wish Sandra will forgive me for what I did to her. Sandra, the lady you accused, humiliated and insulted. I wish I can see herā€¦ searched everywhere for her already but is negative. sheā€™s very angry with me all because of you. You caused it Ireti and you are putting up this show for me to consider and accept you back but somebody like you do not deserve a second chanceā€¦ at the end you will mess it upā€¦
She straightened from the hospital bed and sat up.

ā€ Mart if you leave me I will kill myself for good. I canā€™t live without you. Papi is not Coming back for me. He said I betrayed him and does not want to have anything to do with me. I wonā€™t disappoint you Mart, give me a try first. Sandra is gone for good. She asked you not to look for her. I guess sheā€™s gone to be with her boyfriend and do not need disturbance or reminder of what sheā€™s trying to forget. Mart, please donā€™t forget the good moment we share togetherā€¦give me a chance to make it up for the bad time we had. I promise not to ever leave you for any man or disappoint you.

I try to have a rethink over Iretiā€™s offer. She seems real but Iā€™m trading safe. I donā€™t want her to play with my intelligence.
I left her and went home.

After two days I kept thinking of my traveling out or giving Ireti a chance.

she sounds sincere and I want to give her benefit of doubt.
