???????? The Other Woman Episode Thirty Eight:
By morning, mama had already been discharged, just as the doctor had said and she was sitting in the back seat, behind Nkem and her husband, as they drove home.
She woke up to find herself on the hospital bed, and had been both surprised and worried, afraid that something serious could be wrong with her.
βMama, you know Iβll tell you if thereβs any reason to worry. Believe me, the doctor said you just passed out because you were worrying too muchβ Joe told her, when she kept asking to be told what exactly was wrong with her.
But she was only able to relax, after Nkem put in some words too, begging her not to worry so much about anything.
βWere you able to reach the pregnant girl?β she asked all of a sudden, as their car continued to glide along the tarred road, towards their house.
The couple exchanged worried glances, recalling than they had both agreed to ensure that mama didnβt have to see reasons to worry about Farida and Max.
βOh yes. I was told they travelled to see Faridaβs fatherβ Joe said tersly, his grip on the steering wheel, getting tighter
βWonderful! So they are already looking for ways to get their union legal, when they are yet to sort things out with the people, whose lives they have tried to mess up?
βRemind me Joe, but does she have the right, by law, to get married to another person, when sheβs still married to you?β mama asked her son.
βActually mama, I was told they wanted an elderly person to be with them when they come to ask me to let her go be with the father of her unborn child, and to inform me officially, that the child is actually not mineβ Joe lied to his mother, not knowing how to tell her that Farida and Max, had gone missing, without making her worry some more.
Very early that morning, he had called to know the situation of things, and didnβt know whether to be happy or to get more worried with the report the officer gave him.
βAll the boys on the mission had been captured, with some of them falling in the course of exchange of gΓ»n shots between them and my men.
βBut their leader was nowhere to be found, same as their target and his companion.
βI had my boys searching for them in the neighbourhood, and even had to expand my perimeter, but we were unable to get Stone and the kidsβ the police officer had told Joe.
βMy God! What does this mean? Could they have been taken away from the crΓ¬mΓ¨ scene before your boys arrived?β Joe asked the officer, who said he wasnβt quite sure of what had happened.
βI am still trying to wrap my hands around all that is playing out in this case. Weβll continue with investigations, and let you know whatever comes up laterβ he told Joe, and hung up.
Joe and Nkem continued to analyze the situation with Amarachi and Ben, and in time, Ben came up with some points.
“Could they have been captured and taken away by Stone, before the police arrived?” Nkem asked
βIf they had already been captured and taken away by Stone, I do not see any reason his boys still had to make an appearance, and put up the fight the fight they put up with the police.
βTheir boss didnβt sound like he needed to be in the picture, from how carefully, he had already made the plans for the operation. So he could have chosen to stay back and wait for the boys to do the dΓ¬rty work.
βBut the question is, where are they? Where is Farida and Max? Why did they choose to go offline, at this time?
βIs it possible that they had coincidentally both gone off because their phones ran out of battery?
βIsnβt it so much of a coincidence that they both went dark, on the very night that they were targets of a notorious Γ ssassin?β Ben asked.
βYou are so right Ben. If the target was already out of location, the boys had no reason to make the attempts that they madeβ Joe concurred.
They talked and deliberated on the matter, until they came to the conclusion, that since Mandy mentioned Faridaβs father when she called Farida that night, the two lovers may have gone to see Faridaβs dad.
But there was no way Joe was going to tell his mother that they were only making postulations and trying to assume this, from that!
He was happy though that he had been able to quench his mother’s curiosity, and she was back to talking about the things she wanted to get before Nkem out to bed.
Before they left, Ben told Joe and Nkem to go on, promising to bring Amarachi home, when he was done with what the hospitalβs MD asked him to help fix with the CCTV cameras for a particular section of the hospital.
So after they left, he went down to work, trying to sort out the things his boss needed him to do, before he left.
Amarachi was surfing the internet, keeping herself busy while she waited for Ben.
βWait! Wait!! I hope this isnβt what I think it is?β Ben screΓ med suddenly, and got Amarachi clearly startled.
βWhat is it Ben? Youβre making me afraid. What are you looking at your screen as if your have just seen something terrifying?” Amarachi asked, getting up to join Ben on his table.
βAmara, it is Farida and Max! Theyβre here in this hospital, and I donβt think their conditions look goodβ Ben said.
Amarachi rushed to Benβs sides, took a peek at the screen and covered her mouth in time, to prevent the screΓ m from escaping her throat.
βWhat could have happened to them? Jesus! Are they going to be okay?β Amarachi asked.
βI wouldnβt know! And thereβs only one way to find out. Weβll go to the emergency unit and know whatβs going onβ Been said, getting up quickly.
He dialed Joeβs number as he moved, knowing that he needed to update both him and Nkem on want was going on.
βHello Sir, I just found Farida and Max. Theyβre both in the hospital here, but their conditions are really unsightlyβ Ben told him in a summary.
βOkay Ben, tell the man Iβll be interested in the deal, and Iβm sure my wife would like to take a look at the items too.
βBut I just arrived my house now. Iβll settle mama, then head out to take a look at the goods with my wifeβ Joe answered quickly, his facial expressions, remaining as controlled as he wouldnβt have imagined he could keep it.
He got mama into her room and asked the house keeper to take care of mama, before he rushed out with Nkem, heading to the hospital again.
βNkem, I know you already know that weβre not truly going to see any goods.
βBen just found the kids, and they’re in the hospital. But you have to take a grip if yourself.
βBen said theyβre not in good shape, but I think you deserve to see them, and know if thereβs anything we can do for them.
βI do not need to remind you that you have to remember that you’re first a mother to be, before any other thing.
βDo not act recklessly because worrying so much wonβt change anything.
βRemember that worrying is like a rock chair. It keeps moving, but goes nowhere. Please do not put my unborn child to any risk with your reactions because in the end, the reactions wonβt be the reason they get better or otherwiseβ he told his wife, who only nodded and continued to blink rapidly to keep the tears back.
When they got to the hospital, Ben was waiting to take them to the emergency ward.
And true to what Ben had said, Farida and Ben were both lying on their respective beds, still unconscious and looking really bΓ£d.
Joe and Ben assessed the situation, and in no time, they could see that apart from the first aid to stop the blΓͺΓͺdings, nothing much had been done for them.
Ben called the shots, and the doctors were scurrying everywhere, and Nkem was sitting outside the ward, praying the help didn’t come too late for Max and Farida.
