Episode 29

The group of doctors have succeeded in dragging her out for a quick check-up, Adesewa’s stiLl vehement with her claim albeit she’s not as dangerous as before, it seems she’s now calmer, or wait, did she become calm when she saw blood trickling down her thighs, it seems that’s what she saw. Oh wait, it seems she has been awake all through Paul’s allegation and furtile demeaning argument, is she angry because of what she heard or because of what she saw? Nonetheless I don’t blame her, I deserve everything she calls me.

All this and may more were what is running through are mind haphazardly creating a commotion which she isn’t mentally strong enough to try and control. She has asked herself one question for the umpteenth time and she can’t give herself a convincing enough answer. ‘Who’s child is Adesewa’. What is she ends up being Paul’s child? Now she knows the shock of the news will surely kill her daughter…….

“God help me” she sighed.

Niphemi had hurried out of the hospital on receiving a call from his place of work demanding his presence before the new MD ‘Tennie’s husband’

As he walked towards the MD’s office, evil looking angry-bat like thoughts rushed through his head maybe prophesying his doom. He got to the office, knocked and entered after hearing the official ‘come in’.

Niphemi : “Good day sir” he said addressing the pot-bellied mean looking flaccid man before him. is this tennie’s husband? he pushed the wrong-timed thought away.

Bernard : “Good morning young man, you must be Niphemi” he said with Niphemi nodding in response, “I’ve heard a lot about you”

Now niphemi’s heart missed 7-beats, wonder he’s still sitting calmly.

Niphemi : “Hope the reports aren’t intimidating sir?” trying not to give his nervousness out.

Bernard : “No, no no, very good reports, it seems people are in awe of you everywhere, in all ramifications all I’m hearing are good reports, that’s very good boy, keep it up” he said with a straight face, sitted like a teddy-bear on his expensive chair opposite Niphemi.

Niphemi : now feeling relieved sir “Thanks very much sir, I’ll always try my best”

Bernard : That’s a very complicating offer.

Niphemi : I didn’t get you sir.

Bernard : your ‘I’ll try my best’ offer is so complicating because I don’t think you’ll keep on ‘trying your best’ on my wife. he said smash the table before him angrily, now he’s making use of an angry, devilish, evil face, standing up

All Niphemi could do is to stare into emptiness, now the game’s up.

Bernard : continues you know how much I love her, I did everything to make her happy, and yet she was cheating on me with you. Do you know how broken I am when she willingly opened up to me? She pleaded for forgiveness, and I found it hard not to forgive her because I’m madly in love with her, we are now good, but you’ll never see her again, because next week she’ll travelling out of the country.

Niphemi doesn’t know what to do or say, all he could do is stare, stare, stare at nothing.

Bernard : “Now you can go”

Niphemi stood up like a remote controlled robot, walking like a rain-drenched puppy, head bent as he walked towards the door.

Bernard : “Oh wait, I forgot to say, you are no longer needed here”

He doesn’t need a seer to tell him that it’ll come to this, he’s now in chaos.

“And don’t make any attempt to see or contact my wife” he hear Bernard say after him, bringing questionable stares to the face of that grotesque quail looking S.U secretary at the M.D’s office.

As he walked dejectedly out of his ex-place of work, he was startled by a message tone on his phone. He stopped to check it.

“We are sorry sir, but your account has been frozen for the main time due to some allegations said against you, we would employ you to come and sort out the issue, visit any of our nearest branches. Thanks so much, XYZ bank”
