PREVIOUSLY ON EXTRACTION

And I slapped her….

“Get out of my sight!!!!”I shouted but she did not flinch…

She stood before me fearlessly…

“Get out!!!”I yelled…

“Get out of my sight before I hit you again…”I shouted at her…

“I’ve had worst.. This is nothing compared to what I received when I was living with my foster parent.. I’m not afraid of getting hit mom…

I’m not like you, who runs away because of fear..

I stand and fight back…”she raised her voice at me….

NISSI’S POV

“You’re talking back at me, Treasure…”I shouted

“I am!!! Because you’re wrong…”she raised her voice at me…

“Mommy!!! I love you so much.. I want you to be happy… Uncle T wants the same thing.

You didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself..

He loves you mom…

His challenging daddy because he wants him to reconcile with you…

His doing everything because I asked him to… All I wanted is to live happily with my mommy and daddy…

I’ve seen and overheard you several nights crying because of daddy and because you’re scared to die..

You wake up in the morning, pretending like nothing ever happened..

You love daddy but you just don’t want to forgive him…

Mommy no body is perfect..

We all make mistake…

Just the way I made mistake, I receive scolding or beating as my correction and I learnt from my mistakes..

I’m scared mommy…

I’m scared that I may never see you again….

I’m scared of staying alone…

I hate to see you sad mommy….

I hate it when you cry yourself to sleep..

I’m sorry….”she explained sobbing…

All my anger faded off, I locked her in my embrace tightly….

She’s right and I’m wrong..

“Thank you…. And I’m sorry too..”I apologized to her…

“You have to apologise to my dove.. When he called me, he sounded sad..”

“Your daddy..???”I asked slightly confused

“No… Uncle T.. His pet name is dove…”She explained…

“Why dove???”

Ooohhh!! I forgot…

His favorite tattoo on his body is the dove

“Because during the baptism of Jesus Christ, a white dove rested on his shoulder…”we said chorusly..

Then we chuckled together..

“He’s truly a dove.!!!”I exclaimed letting out a deep breath…

“Mom!! He’s at home… You have to apologise to him mommy…”

“I will… Let’s go…”

---

“Come-on in…” Travis murmured stepping aside, gesturing for us to enter…

“I’ll head upstairs…”Treasure spoke up

“Make yourself at home princess…”

“I will dove… And try to resolve your differences like civilized adult…”

“Ooohhh come on… I’m an adult, Angel…”Travis grumbled jumping on his sofa…

“I’m way matured than you, dove…”Treasure teased him running upstairs…

“I can’t argue with you right now..”Travis shouted and she chuckled running off…

“I’m sorry for my out burst..”I spoke up sitting opposite him..

“It’s normal.. And I owe you an explanation…”he said..

“I’m all ears…”

“After your last therapy session with me, I thought you were getting better until treasure called me up in the middle of the night to tell me that you were crying.. At first I thought it was because you were scared of dying but then I noticed your change of mood..

I observed the difference in your laughter and smile… Most at times your smiles are fake…

And before then, I observed how Fabian stare at us…

I noticed his jealousy..”

“Psssshhh!!!”I huffed in disbelief…

“I’m a man, babe…”he defended…

“Okay, go on…”I said, trying not to change the topic…

“I knew he had no idea of his feelings, so I deserve to trigger his emotions..

That’s when Treasure and I concluded to make him jealous..

The result was good because he admitted to her that he liked you…”

“When was that…???”I interrupted..

“The day he had an attack…”he replied…

“So he came to my office to tell me he liked me??!”I asked

“Yeah… Treasure texted me using his phone which she deleted… He overheard our discussion.. Though not from the beginning but he was convinced that you loved me, that’s the real reason why he had the attack..”

“He said something like that to me last night…”

“The next day he visited his doctor which coincidentally is my uncle.. Troy Greene… After his consultation he realized he was in love with you..

That was when I challenged him…” Now i understand how Fabian found out about Travis last name..

“You see, he wasn’t ready to accept his feelings if not because of the challenge…”I tried putting the blame on Fabian..

“Just the way you’re not ready to admit to yourself that you’re still in love with him..”Travis countered…

“I don’t love him…”

“You do…”he challenged me…

“I don’t love him…”

“Really..??? Why then were you crying when he walked out on you..???”he asked, and I was stunned by his question..

“I don’t know…”I stuttered..

“Oh yes!!! You do…”

“I had a flash back on the day he rejected me”I blurted out…

“Why then did your eyes flashed with hurt and sadness, when he said he was dead to you..???”he asked…

“That’s because I was hurt… I wasn’t expecting him to react like that..”

“And how were you expecting him to react when you told him you wished he was dead and that you hate him”

“I don’t know… I was just angry and confused…”I admitted…

“Why were you confused…???”he asked…

“I don’t know… And this is not a therapy session doctor Travis Greene…”I shouted changing the topic

“It is… I’m your doctor and I’m also your friend… Don’t change the topic..”he caught me…

“You’re smart when you’re in doctor mood…”I praised him

“Treasure said the same thing.. And don’t change the topic…”

“It wasn’t my intention this time… I just wanted to compliment you…”

“I think you’re scared…”

“Why should I be scared…???”I asked

“You should ask yourself that question… What are you scared of??? Why are you scared…???”

“I don’t know…”I mumbled..

I know…

I’m scared…

I’m f—–g scared….

“What are you scared of…???”

“I’m scared of getting hurt again… I’m scared of rejection…”

“And you said you’re not in love… How can you be scared of rejection, if you’re not in love…???”

“Oooooohhh!!!!”I exclaimed…

He’s right…

“You have to admit what you feel..”

“Why should I…??”I questioned…

“I’m the doctor, you don’t have the right to question me.. say everything in your heart…” He urged me..

“I’m scared of being rejected again.. I’m scared of getting hurt by Fabian… Well I never truly hated him… I was angry and hurt… I’ve always loved Fabian and I’ll always love him with all my heart and soul…”I declare.

“Go!!! Tell him what you just said…”

“I can’t…”I breathed out…

“Why…???”he asked…

“I’m scared…”.

I can’t bear to see him hurt and depressed..

“He loves you back… There’s nothing to be scared of, babe…”he murmured…

“That’s the reason I’m scared… I’m scared of hurting him…”

“What do you mean??? Is this because you’re sick…???”he asked..

“Correct… If I accept him back.. What will happen to him, I don’t make it out ali…”

“Shussssh!!!”he silenced me…

“You’re a fighter… You’re gonna make it out of that surgery alive…”

“But what if..”

“Not again… Trust me… God won’t be crazy enough to deprive you of your life on earth… He loves you… You just have to believe and have faith…”

“You’re sounding like a pastor right now… Maybe you should switch profession…”I suggested chuckling softly…

“God forbid… I love my profession babe….” He chuckled…

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you…”

“It’s okay babe… I just want you to be happy… For real…”he hugged me…

“I love you alot…”

“I love you too babe…”I responded…

“Well, I’m glad you’re not attacking each other anymore…”Treasure said before rushing to embrace us…

“Thanks pals…”I murmured…

“I can’t be left out…”I heard James voice…

“Ooohhh my gosh!!! When did you get here…???”I asked as I rushed to embrace you…

“I’ve been here before you came…”James replied…

“That means, you’re also involved in this game..”

“Yeah!!! Guilty as charged…” James replied..

“I love you all… Group hug please…”I said and they pounced on me all in the name of hug….

“Too tight…”I choked and they released me..

“All this wouldn’t have been possible without Treasure…”James said..

“She’s too smart to be a kid …”Travis said…

“You finally accept it… I’m way smarter than you…”

“Ooohhh please!!! It’s only when I’m not in my doctor mood…”Travis defended…

“But, I’m smarter than you, admit it…”Treasure said triumphantly…

“Ooohhh please!!! You’re still a kid…”Travis countered..

“I know but I’ll be smarter than you when I become an adult…”

“Until then, I’m the adult…”

“I know… But I’m the smartest one here, admit it, dove..”

“Say it….”James chipped in…

“Okay fine, Treasure Fabian Rois, you’re the smartest person I’ve ever met in my entire life… You’re gonna be way smarter than me when you become an adult.. Even as a kid you’re way responsible, mature and smart… I can’t compete with you..”Travis declared

“Way better… Come here, you deserve my blessings and a kiss…”she replied and I forced myself not to laugh out loud but I failed..

James and I were laughing helplessly..

“She’s a drama queen..”Travis whispered…

“I heard you…”Treasure chuckled…

“Now mommy, you have to get daddy back… It’s your turn to fight for him…”

“How will I do that…???”I asked…

“Ask the smartest one..”Travis said pointing at Treasure…

“He has instructed the security not to let you near the company… He meant every word he said… I’ve known him for years… He’s a man of his word..”

He sure is….

“This will be difficult…”I whispered…

“Hhmmmm!!! Stay calm I’ll think of something.. “Treasure said…

“That’s more like you. Smart one..”Travis hailed her..

“You’re a celebrity Mom, he’s a celebrity… Give the media some news.. let the social media trend with the gossip…”Treasure suggested…

“You’re not a kid”I declared…

“You’re a genius…”Travis hugged her…

“That’s a great idea.. it’s time for me to abuse my power as a celebrity…”

“Yeah!!!”they said chorusly…

“But he doesn’t have to know about my Illness…”

“You have our word..”James said…

“It’s better he doesn’t know for now, so that he wouldn’t accept you back out of sympathy…” Travis chipped in..

“You’re on point…”I saluted him..

“It’s time to win back his heart… I’m coming for your love, FABIAN ROIS…”I declared…

“That’s the spirit…”they said cheering and clapping their hands for me…

---

“Here we are!!”James exclaimed..

I’m having cold feet..

I’m freaking out…

“Mommy are you okay…??’Treasure asked

“I’m fine…”I replied looking out of the window staring at the large numbers of reporters who awaits my presence…

“Every one is curious to hear your confession..”Travis said unclasping my seat belt…

“They all want news… Celebrity gist…”I said chuckling softly…

“You’re tensed up…”Travis pointed…

“I am!”I admitted…

“Mommy!!!”treasure said holding my hands…

And I felt at ease…

“Brave heart like us aren’t afraid.. We stand and fight…”

“We stand and fight…”I repeated sounding courageously…

“We are here for you, babe…”Travis said as they hugged me…

Just what I needed…

“Thanks guys… The plan remains the same..”I stated…

“Of course…”Treasure said…

“Uncle James will make sure daddy is watching the news… We’ve gat your back mom…”Treasure said…

“She’s too strong to be a kid…”James chuckled opening his door..

“It’s surviving spirit… I learnt things the hard way… And I have a strong Gene…”Treasure replied him and James chuckled before walking away..

“It must be from your father’s Gene because your momma isn’t that strong..”Travis chuckled..

“Hey!! I am strong.. I just don’t wanna scare people off…”

“It’s time to prove that..”Travis said…

“I’ll…”I replied…

“I’m not afraid of anything…”I declared…

“Mommy you were freaking out a while ago…”Treasure scoffed…

“I was just tensed up… That does not mean I was afraid…”

“James have sent his signal. He’s with Fabian now..”Travis said…

“Okay guys… Let’s go!!”I said stepping out of the car…

We walked majestically towards the paparazzi…

Treasure looks more like a heroine walking with pride, just like her father..

The world stops and stare…

“Here they come…”I murmured to myself as the paparazzi rushed towards us…

I halted at the entrance of FABIAN’S company, adjacent to the parking lot…

“Good day everyone…”I greeted. And they answered chorusly before bombarding me with questions…

I raised my hands to silence them..

“Let me do the talking now…”I requested and they grew silent..

“As you all can see, I’m standing outside one of the world single millionaire’s company, Fabian Rois, my ex boss, my friend and my baby’s daddy…

I’m sure, you all are aware of my relationship with his brother Jayden Brown.. But you’re not aware of my relationship with Fabian Rois..

I remembered vividly when we told you guys that we were just friends and no string attached…

He was right back then but for me, there was string attached…

I was just scared to admit it, when I finally did, he rejected me..

His reasons were valid but his actions was not..

I was hurt but I never stopped loving him. Instead I forced myself to hate him because I was angry..

But along the way, Fabian fell in love with me.. I was shocked, I wasn’t ready to accept him…

I was still angry with him, then I said hurtful things to him…”I paused…

“He left me, hurt and heartbroken.. Fabian Rois vowed to stay away from me.. I was hurt once again… That’s when I realized I never hated him, I’ve always and will always be in love with him…

I want to use this medium to say, I am sorry… I overreacted..

I’m sorry for the hurtful things I said to him…

I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused him..

I’ve learnt from my mistake, the same way he learnt from his mistake…”Suddenly rain started pouring heavily…

That was not part of the plan…

Most of the reporters ran away under the parking lot for shelter, while few reporters stood watching me…

“You can’t stay under the rain..”Travis spoke up ..

“No… I’ll wait here for him…”I stated firmly…

“Ma’am, what if he doesn’t come…???”one of the reporter asked..

“I’ll believe he’s not watching and have no idea that his Nissi is under the rain… Cold and weak…”I replied…

“Daddy! Mommy is sorry… Please forgive her…”Treasure spoke up…

“Go inside..”I stuttered, shivering helplessly…

“No mom… We stand and fight… I’m not running away…”Treasure stated firmly..

“Fabian… I love you.. I love you Fabian…”I shouted…

The rest of the reporters rushed to the parking lot as the rain pour became heavier..

“Hey sexy!! Your prince charming isn’t coming… Come with me…”One drunk guy showed up from nowhere with an umbrella…

“Back off…”Travis shouted…

“We can have a threesome…”the idoit drunk guy said pulling me but I’m too cold to protest…

I’m shivering and dizzy…

I feel frozen…

“Get off her!!!”I heard Travis shouting..

Everything happened too fast but I was suddenly in the arms of a familiar fragrance…

The drunk guy was dragged away by the security guard…

Even without looking at his face…

I know he’s the one…

He came for me…

My Fabian…

“I love you”I whispered

Then everything slowly became dark…
