Is It A Sin episode 17
CHIEF NNAMDI CONTINUES HIS STORYLINE
“She just took the coffee; no doubt she didn’t poison it, even if she does; that means we are both going to die.” I thought, I was about to drink the coffee when I heard a footsteps from behind, I look at the direction and it was Chioma coming back from the kitchen; she was holding a tea cup, I looked her from head to toe as if I just saw her for the first time, she was smiling as she was approaching me, I lowered the coffee from my mouth as she walked up to me.
“This is always good every morning, I’m always surprised that you love taking coffee every morning, I think it’s high time I start emulating you.” She said jokingly as she was pouring herself a cup full of coffee from the kettle.
“Cheer, darling.” She said as I strengthen my hand forward and we cheer the tea cup.
She devour the coffee within a nanull second, I was just looking at her, she pick up the kettle of coffee as she pour herself another cup full of coffee.
She had succeeded in convincing me, I mustered some courage to devour the coffee, I drank the coffee earnestly and it really taste good, I fetch myself another cup full and I also devour it within a glimmer of an eyes.
{sigh}
“Had I know I would have heeded to the warning of the doctor.” My spirit exclaimed as he (my spirit) nodded his head in detention; but true to be say; I wasn’t myself; my brain seems to be blank; I fell more in love with Chioma as if I just saw her for the first time; she seems to be more beautiful to me than ever before, I wasn’t able to think of anything else except her, the doctor warnings was nowhere to be remembered, I was totally brain-washed; who knows what she has done?
{BACK TO THE SCENE}
Chioma changed position after she saw that I had successfully devour the coffee; she walked to the sofa she had sat earlier, she sat on the sofa and she continued watching her TV show, I also joined her in watching the boring movie, we were gisting, chatting and discussing on some irrelevant issues. Some minutes later, I feel some stomach pain, it seems like a sword was piercing my kidneys, lungs and heart, I felt some pains in my stomach; the pains developed gradually to become unbearable, I gro-ned in pain when it seems that I can’t be able to endure the pains any longer.
“Chioma!” I scre-med when the pains has become unbearable, she looked at me and turn back to her TV show. Later on, after one minute of my gro-ning in pains, I fell down from the sofa, I was rolling on the floor, I was scre-ming for help but it seems no one was there to help me, just then Chioma stood up from the sofa and walked up to me.
.
“Idiot! Do you think I am such a nuisance like you, you saw the message, hehe! Does that stop your death? No! And it can never stop your death; I saw you all through yesterday night only if I won’t talk; I knew how and when you read the message, I saw your reaction, how you forwarded the message to your doctor and your lawyer.” She paused as she took a deep breath.
“I am a mother and not a wife, my staying here is just because of my two children, I want them to inherit all your properties and that is my reasons of staying here.” She paused.
“Aaaaaarrrggghhhhh!” I was gro-ning in pains but she seems not to be interested in me.
“I know you are such an old fool and dumb, I drank the poisoned coffee, does that means that I will die? No and never I can’t die now.” She exclaimed. “Anyway, I am not an idiot like you I had token the anti-dote, I will only advice you to stop disturbing yourself and let the poison work perfectly because no one is at home to help you.” She paused.
“I am only sorry for your innocent Nnena, because she isn’t the one that poisoned you, I did but she must be held responsible for your dismissal.” She exclaimed as she moved in a zig-zag manner.
“It was a well-planned works between me, your lawyer and your doctor, I texted your doctor to called you, I knew if he call you, you will excuse yourself from the sitting room, then I poisoned your coffee when you went to received the call; I cajoled your lawyer to will all your properties to me, Chinendu and Chiamaka.” She paused.
“I never knew I marry such a smart and wonderful husband, well I am a woman and I remain a woman; we women are devil itself, no matter how strong a person might be, a sensible, intelligent and brilliant woman hadn’t been sent to such person to suppress or kill such person myth; I knew you must have heard about Samson’s story in the bible, it was a woman that succeeded in suppressing his power, we women win wars without using guns, spears, swords or any forms of weapons. Well, I see no reason why you should live since you had diverted all the love you had for me and my children, you had diverted it on Nnena and Obinna that bas***d.” She yelled.
“Nnena will definitely rot in jail and she can’t escape that; she served the coffee, no other person, so he poisoned my late husband.” She said laughing.
“Obinna on the other hand, have to pay for all the harsh words he had uttered to me because of that upcoming prisoner (Nnena), he knew me as his mother, I also want him to know how painful it is to talk trash to one’s foster mother.” Chioma expressed.
“Chief Nnamdi Richærd! Rest in peace.” She concluded as she opted for the master bedroom.
.
“Father!”………
***************************
Lo and behold it was Nnena; she was holding a polythene bag which contains all the items Mrs. Chioma sent her to get, she tossed the polythene bag as she reluctantly run up to Chief Nnamdi who was lying unconsciously and he was also gro-ning in pain.
“Chief, what’s wrong? Who did this to you?” She asked allegorically as she was trying to help the Chief up.
The Chief was unable to utter a word, he looked at Nnena with pitiful looks, he held Nnena firmly as he burst out in tears just then Mrs. Chioma came back to the sitting room.
“What happened to my husband?” She asked spuriously; she pretended as if she didn’t know anything about the incident.
“I don’t know ma, I met him here lying unconscious.” Nnena replied as she was struggling with the unconscious chief.
“Let take him to the hospital.” Mrs. Chioma commanded as she joined Nnena to convey the chief to the car.
Few minutes after their arrival at the hospital; Obinna, Chinendu and Chiamaka barged into the hospital, they couldn’t believe their hears when their mother narrated to them that Nnena poisoned the Chief.
.
I HOPE YOU ALL REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED ON THEIR WAY TO THE HOSPITAL AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THE HOSPITAL AND HOW MRS. CHIOMA PROCLAIMED NNENA TO BE THE MURDERER OF HER HUSBAND, THEY ALL WTNESS HOW CHIEF NNAMDI WAS CONVEY INTO THE MORTUARY.

{BACK TO THE MAIN SCENE}
“Hmmmm that is life for all of you!” Chief Nnamdi exclaimed.
“But dad, you were admitted into the mortuary we all witness that, how did you managed to survive after you were warded into the mortuary.” Obinna asked eagerly as he adjusted his position.
“Hmmm!” Chief Nnamdi exclaimed as he continued.

“Some nurses accompanied my lifeless body to the mortuary, they handed me over to the mortuary workers, A male mortuary worker was about to dressed me when he felt my pulse; he looked all over my body and he could see one of the left leg finger moving and shaking, he was shocked at first; but as a trained mortuary doctor he summoned some courage to examined my pulse a little and it seems this lifeless body is still half-alive, the mortuary doctor summoned the doctors-in-waiting but it seems they were all busy attending to one patient or the others, he thought for a while, he later opted for administering first aid on me, he brought out some office pins, he injected over fifty pins all over my body including my noses and ears; he was piercing and pinning my body with his fingers; he is doing this just to make my body to response to stimuli on time.” Chief Nnamdi paused.
“After Nnena was arrested, Mrs. Chioma was summoned into the doctor’s office, the doctor consoled my wife, he impacted some moral on her and he sympathized with her.
“Doctor, does that insinuate that I can never see my healthy and beloved husband alive?” She asked as she burst out in tears.
“Just take heart Madam, God knows the reasons behind this, Chief Nnamdi was my good friend when he was alive, I’m his personal doctor; I tried all my best as a professional and well-trained doctor to rescue his life but it seems the poison has ingested his hearts and kidneys.” Doctor Akin (the doctor name) commiserated.
“Ah! God what have I done to deserve this?” Mrs. Chioma scre-med as she paved way for more tears from her eyes.
“Just take heart Madam, hope the murderer has been arrested?” Doctor Akin asked.
“Yes, some policemen had arrested her some minutes ago.” Mrs. Chioma replied sobbingly.
“That’s good; I will make sure she rots in jail.” Doctor Akin retorted boastfully.

“Ah! God what you have done for me this time is unfair.” Mrs. Chioma yelled as she was rolling on the well mopped powder blue tile.
“Madam, what…” Doctor Akin was unable to finish with his statement when he heard a knock from the door.
“Who’s that? Please come in, the door is not locked.” Doctor Akin asked, commanded and concluded at the same time.
The door was unlocked; Alas! It was Ben (the mortuary man).
“Good day, Dr. Akin.” Ben greeted.
“Good day Mr. Ben, hope there is no problem, I see you here?” he expressed suspiciously.
“Not at all Sir, I just want to let you know that the patient whom we warded into the mortuary some minutes ago is not dead; he is in coma and he is totally unconscious.” Ben voiced out as Mrs. Chioma raised her eyebrow in disbelief.
