Angel Of Mine – Episode 22

Angel of mine

Ins**t 22

‘You know I am happy that old hag is no longer living with me but then how will I know that the pills are working when she is no longer at my house?,’ she asked that afternoon.

She will never know because the pills that I gave her are much stronger than she anticipated. Emily is a fool and to think that she has ever since followed everything that I have told her. The lies and all of that. Honestly I feel pity for her mother-in law, I know I mustn’t have used her like that. This was between me and Emily. Ever since high school, Emily has always been the devil’s daughter. I know I was friends with her but she had that b***hy kind of character. I remember back in high school, she didn’t want me to make any friends when I had officially become her best friend. I lost a lot of good people because of her and this is my way of paying back all the horrible things she has ever done to me. I have since filled her head with so many lies, from the start, I envied her. She had a cool mother-in law but she was just too blind to see. Thank goodness, God gave me a good mother-in law and I will forever be respectful towards her. I more so feel pity for Jamal because he hasn’t woken up yet and God knows if he will ever wake up.

‘You will know,’ I said to her and my phone chose to ring at that exact moment.

It was Bradley, my soon to be husband. With a smile spread across my face, I responded. I loved Bradley a lot and I was making an effort. Unlike Emily, I respected my mother-in law, not just because she was my fiancée’s mum but she had made me feel welcome in the family and never had I raised a hand on her or insult her. Emily had done the worst with her mother-in law and I know 1 day she is going to regret mistreating her.

I got off on the phone with fiancée and looked at Emily. We were hanging out at her house and she has been dodging work. Well after all she was the boss, she answered to no one.

‘I have got to go,’ I said up on my feet.

‘You just got here,’ she said.

‘I am going to see Bradley and he wants us to go and see his mother. She just came back from Italy,’ I said to her and her facial expression changed.

‘Really Tiffany. I am alone.’

Well b***h you will surely end up alone. If only you hadn’t listened to me and loved your mother-in law, then you couldn’t be complain right now, I should have said to her,

‘I will come and see you tomorrow.’

That was just a lie; I had so many things to do back at the house. I left her house and she wasn’t pleased at all. I mean who cares if she was or not pleased at all. She messed things up for herself and that wasn’t at all my fault. Well maybe a little of my fault, I drove over to Bradley’s house and boy you could have seen the smile on his face when I stepped out of the car, priceless. I had missed him a lot and the funny thing, I had seen him yesterday. I am always with him, I hugged him and he broke the hug,

‘Come,’ he said taking my hand and we walked in,side the house.

He opened the door and,

‘Surprise!’ people shouted, ‘happy birthday Tiffany.’

Oh my, I had honestly forgotten that it was my birthday. You see why Tiffany didn’t deserve to be my friend, I am perfectly sure that she had forgotten about my birthday. It has always been about her and not caring about other people’s feelings, that’s why I was done being used by her but instead made her pay for all the terrible things she had done to other people. Soon enough she will be left with no one in this world. I took some few pictures with my sister-in laws and my mother-in law as well. Everyone who saw me walking around in town thought that she was my mother but instead she was my mother in law, that’s how close I was with her. We got along very well and I loved her.

Seeing Tiffany smiling like a fool with her mother-in law just made me laugh out loud. Soon she will be crying because of that woman she called mother-in law. I don’t comment her status and I seriously forgot that it was her birthday. So did Tiffany honestly think that Bradley’s mother loved her that much? Oh please all mother-in laws are the same. Very soon she will come to my house telling me about her evil deeds, I will just seat and watch. I throw my phone on the bed and click my tongue. As if Bradley’s family loved her, I am sure these people were pretending to like her. If I was Tiffany, I would get rid of them before they start mistreating me but Tiffany was just too blind to see that these people were just pretending to love her.

Well with that said lets go back to my story. Besides me being stressed out about my mother-in law, if she is dead back at the village, my Jamal hasn’t woken up from that comma. I feel like Pravan is being incompetent, I mean it’s been weeks already and his condition, it hasn’t changed at all. I had missed Jamal and I seriously wanted him back. As I was busy sipping on some wine, I felt like throwing up and rushed to the bathroom. When I got there, I threw up and wiped my mouth,

‘What’s wrong with me?’ I asked myself and had another run again.

I had never felt that way before every time I had some wine and this was unusual. I kept running and running until I decided to drink some medicine. The thought it hadn’t crossed my mind yet but now more than ever, I wanted to feel better. I don’t know how I ended up falling asleep but when I woke up, I was so damn tired and I was feeling dizzy. I was supposed to go and see Jamal but instead I asked the driver to take me to my doctor. I wanted to find out if there was something wrong about me, maybe I had suddenly developed some sickness.

He drove me there and it was at around afternoon that we arrived at the hospital. I had already called Prisca to let her know that I was coming over to the hospital that means she was already waiting for me as I walked in,side and went straight to her office. It had been long since I last saw her. I wasn’t someone who always visited the hospital. Even when I was very sick, I always told Jamal not to take me there; I guess I never liked the hospital. Even now it’s hærd for me to be there, where Jamal is being kept but then as his wife I have to be there for him and be present when he wakes up.

Anyway I didn’t want to have some chit chat with Prisca since I needed to go and see Jamal just after having done some tests because I had already told her what I was feeling and she had suggested that I do some tests. It took me 30 minutes to finally be done with the testing procedure and Prisca said that I can wait for my results but I had no time for that, I needed to rush to the hospital and see my Jamal. I told Prisca to call me when she has the results; I drove to Pravan’s hospital. I was late for visitation and I was never that late. When I got there, I just stepped out of my car and locked my door. I walked in,side and went straight to see Jamal. When I opened the door to his room, he wasn’t in,side and that freaked me out.

He can only not be in his room if they have pronounced him dead or maybe he had woken up. With my heart pounding really fast, I didn’t want to ask the nurses but I instead went to Pravan’s office were I found him pacing up and down,

‘What happened to my husband?’ I asked him and the woman he was with quickly rushed out of his office.

‘You need to sit down Emily.’

You know what I hate the most, what he just said right now. How can he expect me to sit down when I wasn’t in the mood to do that, I needed to know if Jamal was safe and sitting down right now,

‘Where is Jamal?’ I asked again and he had that look on his face.

I don’t know what he was hiding from me but I didn’t want to think of the worst, I just wanted to see Jamal.

‘Jamal is gone. I am sorry,’ he said calmly.

‘Gone as in dead?’

I had to ask because the words were not that hærd to come out of his mouth. I felt like there was something more and I was yet to find out.

‘No, someone came to take him.’

‘What do you mean?’

Seriously Pravan was getting into my nerves. Didn’t he know the person that had taken my husband?

‘Someone took Jamal Emily and by that time, I wasn’t around.’

‘Where were you and where did they take him?’

‘I have no idea, my workers they don’t know the person who took him.’

‘What kind of nonsense is that? Someone just takes my husband and your people do nothing about it. They could have asked who it was. Don’t you have CCTV in here?’ I yelled obviously pissed off big time.

‘No,’ he responded and I almost felt like punching him.

What kind of hospital was he running when he didn’t have any cameras installed? I should have taken Jamal at Prisca’s hospital instead. Right now I have no better words for Pravan, he has failed his job and I just want my Jamal. I didn’t know the person who could have been responsible for that; it couldn’t have been his mother because that woman was at the village. She would never do that if she knew what was best for her but then who could have taken him? These questions ran through my mind as I sat in Pravan’s office,

‘I am sorry Emily.

I glared at him and clicked my tongue while getting up. I had to find some help.
