Episode 48

Ben and nancy were extremely exultant, as smiles emitted from their face.
Faith stood staring at them, she on her part, was happy for them, she herself never knew the content of the letter, she was only told to deliver it to him and much to her chagrin, he was promoted.

Ben and nancy disengaged from the long embrace when they realized faith was still standing with them.

They grinned at her while she grinned back displaying her white sets of teeth.
“Congratulation sir!”
faith said enthusiastically.
“oh yeah, thanks very much”
ben replied smiling at her.
“i’ll take my leave now sir”
faith said and made to leave but nancy stopped her.
“ah! No, you can’t go yet, let me offer you something”
nancy said hurriedly going to the kitchen.
“don’t worry ma’am, am okay. besides, i’ve overused my time here”
faith replied.
“you can go, thanks once again”
ben said and added.
“and please, extend my greetings to the ceo, i’ll resume work next week.”
“alright sir, i’ll do that, bye sir”
faith replied and walked out to board a cab which conveyed her to her destination.

Ben and nancy embraced each other for the umpeetenth time in the day, immediately faith was out of sight.

“i’m so happy nancy”
ben whispered in her ear, while she mimicked him laughing.
“well, all thanks to God for everything”
nancy said
“yes, God is just great, he really proved himself, you’re eventually pregnant after all these while and yet again, my job was restored, not only restored but i was promoted also.”
ben shouted happily.
“c’mon lets go celebrate this!”
nancy shouted and held his hands as she walked to the dining and ben tailing behind.

Ben sat down and nancy quickly went and brought two glass cups full of red wine.

They sat facing each other, she tossed the drink to him, he took it and they both held their drinks up in the air.
“happy celebration!”
nancy shouted as they tossed their drinks for a toast making a clinking sound.
“cheers!”
ben said as they drank in merriment.

Ben sat down on a swivel chair in a new office which was assigned to him.

The office was enormous in size and having an ample space unlike the office he was before.

Documents and books littered on the desk in front of him, undone works which his boss left before he was expelled.

Mr kelvin, his former narcissist boss was fired by the ceo when they discovered he’d been defrauding the company.

Ben smiled gleefully as he was gratified he had no opposition in his current post of office, and he was beign paid handsomely.

Nancy also started her boutique shop as she couldn’t withstand staying alone at home till ben came back from work.

She was fatigued from the boredom and she decided to resume her boutique.

She employed attendants that would help in selling her wares.

Things blossomed for ben and nancy as days rolled by, they had less or no worries as everything was back into shape.

Nancy’s protruding stomach was now extensively big as it was obvious to the eyes.

People trooped in her boutique shop like water as they buy one thing or the other.
She couldn’t sit watching as they were many unattended customers, she struggled and she attend to some she could attend to while her salesgirls attended to the others.
Within minutes she was fatigued and started feeling drowsy, her legs were suddenly trapped to the floor and her eyes were radiating anticlockwise in a 360 direction.
Her legs couldn’t stand her anymore and she slumped to the ground with a thud.
With what seemed like seconds, People surrounded her and quickly rushed her to a nearby hospital, as they realized she was
in agony and pains.

Some Nurse immediately took charge of the situation and they
took her to a specified delivery ward and started work on her.

Ben was in his office working tirelessly as beads of sweats oozed out from his forehead, sweating profusely, the airconditioner only helped in surpressing the heat in his body systems.

He had lot of works to be done and was given a limited time to finish up.
His phone suddenly vibrated and started ringing diverting his attention to the phone.
He quickly scrutinized the phone with his left eye not wanting to be disturbed or distracted from what he was busy doing.
It was an unknown caller, he hissed and returned his gaze back to his work.

The phone rang for a couple of minutes then stopped.

The phone rang again for the umpeetenth time disturbing his peace.
He looked at the phone with a bloodshot eyes infuriated at the caller.

He hesistated before he picked it.
“hello”
he said with a hoarse voice and a frustrated tone.
“hello, your attention is urgently needed now in God’s care hospital, your wife is on a delivery bed.”

An unknown female voice said with a tone of urgency.

“what? My wife?”
ben stuttered on the phone but got no response as the line went dead.

With no second thoughts, he dashed out of his office and drove speedingly to the said hospital.
