???? Delilah Episode Seven:
“What are you saying? What happened to the baby? I asked.
“Are you blind or something? Can’t you see blood? Take me to the hospital! Loveth shouted on me and I quickly had my clothes on and rushed her to the hospital.
Everything was not still clear to me as I waited outside for the doctor to attend to her, only for the doctor after some minutes asked me to come in and when I did he announced that we lost the baby.
“How? I asked him.
“We lost what? No you’re mistaken! Loveth shouted and attempted to sit up but a nurse held her
“Calm down ma’am else you’ll hurt yourself, the nurse said while I was just looking at the doctor.
‘Im sorry, the doctor said tapping my shoulder and Loveth began to cry.
I slowly touched her when they left us alone but Loveth pushed me,
“This is all your fault! She shouted.
“My fault? What did I do? I also lost my baby, I said.
“Really? Hope your mother is happy right? She took my baby from me, what did our baby do to her? She asked crying and I scratched My head and held her but she pushed me away again.
‘My life is at risk, I saw her pursuing me and now my baby is gone. What else will she do to me? Will she kill me next because of you? She asked.
“Love I’m so confused here, in fact I don’t know what to say, I weakly replied.
“Its simple cant you see? We just have to end this, go back to them so I can live, Loveth said.
“No no what are you saying? You can’t leave me, I thought we promised forever? I asked holding her while she struggled.
“I don’t want to die please go, she said..
“And who said you’re dying love? I won’t let anything bad happen to you I promise, I said.
“I wish you said the same thing for our baby, but look she’s gone and we could not do anything, I feel so helpless, she said crying and I painfully closed my eyes.
“It took us by surprise I know but I will definitely see my mother tomorrow okay, I said.
“But its not enough, Will that bring her back? Oh my baby, Loveth cried touching her stomach and I hugged her.
“It’s alright love, I’m so sorry, I whispered in her eyes and my heart was in rage for my mother.
I left Loveth in the hospital the next morning feeling so mad with the way she was so moody. I hate to see her that way so I left to see my mother.
I got into my father compound and knocked on the door violently,
“Who the hell is that! Frank shouted and opened up and saw me.
“What are you doing here? He asked.
“Get out of my way, I didn’t come for you, I replied pushing him aside and got in to see my mother sorrowfully sitting down on the sofa.
“So you’re here? I asked.
“What do you mean by that? Frank asked.
“I already said I didn’t come for you so mind your business, I said to Frank and Patricia Came out looking at me folding her arms and I concentrated on my mother.
“When someone sees you so quiet, they will think you’re A human being When you’re nothing but a heartless witch. How dare you kill my unborn baby tell me! I shouted and my mother looked at me.
“Patrick! Frank thundered and raised his hand to hit me.
“Leave him, my mother said and Frank hand hanged on the air.
“Is that all you can say? Oh I see why you told me that it won’t last, were you talking about my child Loveth was carrying thats why you pursued her in the dream and caused her to have a miscarriage? What have you gain now? I asked breathing hard and my mother heaved.
“Patricia take me to my room, she said and held the hand of the sofa to get up while Patricia approached her and I uncounsiously pushed her heavily back to the sofa
“Mama! Patricia called out touching her and looked at me,
“Did you just push mama? Frank asked.
“So what If I did? Let me make this clear to you all, stay clear from I and Loveth. From today I don’t know any of you and please I am begging you leave us alone! If anything happens to Loveth, get ready to face me squarely! I shouted and stormed out of the house leaving them shocked.
I returned back to the hospital and saw Loveth didn’t touch the food I left for her,
“Babe don’t do this na, I’m just coming back from there and I have nothing to do with them anymore. I’ve warned them to stay clear from you okay, its just us now, I said touching her face and she sniffed.
“But I was happy that a life was growing inside of me, they just took my happiness, she slowly said.
“I’m sorry it wont happen again I promise you, please be strong for me, I said and kissed her.
That evening she insisted to go home and everything went back to normal.
The organization was really paying me well and we parked into a well furnished house after some months and I planned of surprising Loveth with a brand new car on her upcoming birthday.
There was money and I spent it well on her and threw her a big party where she invited her friends and business partners.
When I handed her the key of the brand new car I bought, she just laughed and hugged me,
“Thanks honey, its belongs to us and not just me, she said.
“Its mainly for you my love cause you deserve it, don’t worry I’ll buy mine okay, I said to her.
“Until then, but for now I’ll be giving you a ride with this to your office everyday, she said and I laughed.
‘You don’t mean that do you? I asked.
“Of course I was joking, thank you so much, she replied laughing and hugged me and i was so pleased I made her happy.
Life was so rosy I must confess until an impromtu meeting Was held where I work and I was surprised that I didn’t know Of the unplanned meeting when I held one of the big positions there.
But a new manager was introduced to us and the good news Is I was promoted and the new manager saw me fit as the one he can work with. Knowing I don’t have a car, he quickly gave me one of his new ride and I drove happily to Loveth Shop I expanded just to tell her the good news but she was not there.
“Where’s my woman? I asked the girls she employed.
“She left not too long sir, one replied and I tried her number but it was not reachable.
I got home and she was not there either, and when she returned she gave me excuses of how she went here and there but I shifted that aside and told her the good news.
‘Oh my God, I wanted asking of who has the car parked outside, congratulations honey, she shouted falling on me.
“Thank you, I said to her.
“And this manager, who is he? She asked and I told her his name.
“Uhmmm alright, congratulations again, she said…….
I began to see changes in Loveth and I couldn’t place my mind on what’s going on neither did I wanted to believe that she was cheating on me. She starts coming home late and when I wanted to voice out she turns violent at me and surprisedly I saw myself begging for peace and apologizing. I became scared and tired but I didn’t know how to break off and she was already threatening me if I am thinking of leaving her.
One day I ran into Patricia and she acted as if she didn’t know me and I don’t blame her for that.
“Please let me drop you off, I calmly said to her.
“Will you just leave me alone? Who the hell are you by the way? She asked and hissed. She stopped a taxi and I followed her behind to know where she’s staying now, I was beginning to feel lonely but I didn’t know how to make amends and return back to my family.
After two weeks my manager called me to his office and handed a big briefcase to me,
“Why sir? I asked.
“Take it home Patrick, that’s 8 million naira and I feel some people are monitoring me. Meet me in the bank tomorrow very early because am scared, he replied.
“What? Why me sir? I mean……. “Patrick no one knows that is money if it is you holding it so don’t reject it because there’s no one else I can trust here. Calm down and act cool, I’ll text you the bank later, he said and I felt sick instantly.
I returned to my office looking at the brief case and thought of where I should keep it. Keeping such a thing in the house now that Loveth is acting strange will give me high blood pressure and I didn’t want any trouble knowing the money does not even belong to the organization.
I got into my car with the brief case and drove off. I got home and sat down thinking hard and Loveth came home,
“Hi honey, she said and pecked me.
“Welcome, I Coldly said.
“There’s a problem right? Common you can talk to me, she said.
“I’m just tired, I said.
“But you know…… ‘I said I’m fine, I said and left the sofa to the room and laid down to sleep.
That night it was as If I heard a hit on the gate, but I was too tired to pay attention not until the hit came on the door and Loveth woke me up shivering,
“Honey robbers, She said holding me and I jumped down to the sitting room and tried to make a phone call informing the police,
“What are you doing? She asked.
“Calling the police of course, I replied.
“What do you think they can do now when they are already here? She asked.
“I know you’re in there but we came in peace. Let’s discuss Like matured people so open the door slowly without a fight, a strong voice said.
“No way! I said when Loveth becknoned on me to do that.
“Didn’t you hear what they said? I’m opening up please don’t shoot! Loveth Said and ran to the door before I could say anything and huge guys walked in with guns.
“That’s so smart of you woman, one said as Loveth laid on the floor crying.
“What do you want? I asked but one took my phone from me.
“Unlock it, He said.
“That’s my privacy, I said and they used a gun on my belly and I fell.
“Please please I can unlock it don’t hurt him! Loveth shouted and unlocked the phone for them and they saw the text from my manager.
“So it’s true huh? Where is the money? One asked.
“What money? I asked and they smiled.
“Search the house, the strong voice said and they searched everywhere and saw nothing.
“Where did you keep it? They asked.
“I am not with any money, you just wasted your time to come here, I replied.
“Interesting, I guess you are not ready to talk things through, take him away, One commanded.
“Wait to where! I shouted struggling but they hit a gun on my head and I passed out.
