🌼CHAPTER 54 & 55🌼

The Next Day…

Cindy’s ringing phone woke her up from her deep slumber. She slowly opened her eyes and closed it back when some rays of light entered her eyes. She located where the phone is with her hand and picked it without checking the caller.

📲 Hello

She said with a sleepy voice.

📞Good morning my daughter.

She removed the phone from her ear and checked the caller to be sure of the voice she heard.

📲 Good morning mother.

📞Hope you slept well?

📲Yes mother.

📞Can I see you this morning?

📲Yes mother.

📞 Alright, I will be expecting you in my house later

📲Okay

The call ended and she sighed wondering why she’d want to see her all of a sudden.
She tossed to the other side of the bed and closed her eyelid again.

“Welcome ma.” Eva greeted Cindy with smiles all over her face.

“Thank you my dear. Where’s mummy?” She asked.

“Right here, daughter.” Mrs Jenny answered from the staircase.

Cindy rushed to her side and hugged her slightly.

“Good to see you dear.”

“Thank you ma. How have you been?”

“Fine. Thank you. Let’s seat.”

Cindy settled on a two-seater couch with her handbag beside her.

Mrs Jenny sat beside her on the same couch.

” What should I bring for you, ma?” Eva asked.

” Nothing,I am fine.” Cindy answered.

” Why? I cooked for you myself.” Mrs Jenny said

” Oh..thank you ma. Okay, I’m gonna eat later before I leave.”

” Good then. You can come back later.” Mrs Jenny said and Eva politely left the room.

” How is the baby?” Mrs Jenny asked.

” Fine.” Cindy answered surprised, she could be asking her about her unknown pregnancy when her son doesn’t even care.

” Good. Just be resting and make sure you’re eating fruits.”

” Thank you ma.”

” How’s Emmanuel?”

The question caught her unprepared for. She didn’t even know where he is. She knew not if he came home last night or not. What would she say….she doesn’t like lying but this situation called for it.

” He…”

” Don’t bother. I know he is not okay mentally.” Mrs Jenny said causing Cindy’s jaw to opened in utmost shock.

“Mother …”

“Don’t worry my daughter, I knew of everything going in between you both. All the pains, abuses, insults and the effrontery to bring in a lady to live under the same roof with you , his PA for that matter…I knew about it all along. I know you are surprised, but don’t be. I called you because I know you haven’t tell your parents about it ’cause if you have, they’d have taken a step.” Mrs Jenny paused and studied Cindy who made an expressionless face.

“I have called him and he was giving me some flimsy excuses which prompted me to call you instead. Cindy, what do you want us to do concerning this issue? I don’t want you to suffer because I love you and I have a daughter also who will get married someday. Do you still wanna stay with him?” She asked.

Cindy looked from her to the space breathing out. She smiled and faced her mother in-law again.

” Mother, what did Emmanuel told you my offence is?” She asked.

” I don’t think that really matter right now because I don’t believe what he said.”

” what did he told you?” Cindy asked.

” He told me Dammie said you’re in a relationsh¡p with your Pastor’s son, which I know isn’t true.”

” Really? I can’t believe this lady. Where’s she now?” Cindy asked suppressing her anger.

” She’s went to work to finish some files. Don’t bother about that my dear. I wanna hear from you. Tell me what you want to do.”

“Don’t worry mother, I don’t know what to say concerning the question you asked, just ask your son what he wanna do with me. Whatever his decision is, I am okay with it.” Cindy said.

“I know you’ve never smile from morning till evening since you got married but What if he says he’s divorcing you to marry that lady?”

“I am very okay with it.” Cindy said without breaking the eyes contact with Mrs Jenny.

“Cindy…”

“Don’t worry ma’am. I have made up my mind to accept whatever happens. After all, I’m not the one that lost here.” She said, picked up her bag and stood up.

“Are you leaving?”

“Yes, mother. Just let me know of his decision. Bye!” Cindy said and walked out of the living room gently taking her step.

Getting to her car, she dialled Samuel’s number but he wasn’t picking it up which got him more worried.

She then decided to go to him by driving to his house.

“This is the second time..” Dammie said weakly.

She came to the office to finished her piled up work. But it turned out that she started not to feel well. She has been to the bathroom twice all in the name of vomiting.

“Did Eva added something to my breakfast?” She questioned herself feeling more weak and dizzy.

She managed to off the running tap and made her way out of the bathroom to her desk. Getting to her desk, she took out her phone and dialled a number ’cause her eyes were closing on their own….

She made to seat but missed where her chair is and fell to the floor. She let out a loud outcry and passed out.

I feel like I don’t deserve the calls or messages ’cause I’m putting you guys on suspence. I have no other choice but to continue with it… although I’ve lost inspiration but I hope to get it back as I journey on in the story.

Please accept my apologies and please don’t take it out on me by not commenting or liking the story..

****””

“Please, hold on let me pick this call.” George said to Alice.

They were in a restaurant having fun – laughing, smiling and cracking jokes.

“Okay …go ahead.” Alice said sipping her juice looking ahead of her when she saw Samuel in the restaurant, eating.

She thought she’d see Cindy with him but no, he came alone. Guilt covered her heart and he watched him eat..

“I wonder if he’s okay…” She thought.

📞What’s that’s noise, are you okay?

📞 Hello

📞Hello…

He repeated but no answer.

“What happened?” Alice asked.

“It’s Dammie…I just heard a loud outcry and nothing more.” George said.

” Where is she?” Alice asked.

” That I have no idea.”

“Do you know her house?” Alice asked.

” Not really. I’ve not been there before.”

” What about her office?”

” I’m not sure they work on Saturdays.” George answered.

” So, what will you do?” She asked, staring at Samuel with the corner of her eyes.

“I am confused. She’d be fine. Let’s continue our fun.” George said and the fun started again.

★
Cindy was pacing around her room (guestroom) with her phone in hand. She was still trying to reach Samuel.

“Why won’t he pick my call for goodness sake?” She questioned herself.

Samuel’s gatekeeper had told her earlier that he went out when she got to his house.

” Samuel…where are you?” She asked as her tummy made some funny sound signifying to her she’s hungry.

“Oh …food?” She chuckled as she made her way out of the room to the kitchen.

“So, what should we eat?” She asked herself.

“Tea? Bread? Rice? Yam? Swallow? Or what?” She asked walking around the kitchen.

“Rice would be fine.”

“What type of rice?”

“Fried? Jollof? Or what exactly?”

“Fried would take a lot of time. Ah! Gosh …I don’t even know what to eat.” She said ..

After some minutes, she settled for Jollof rice and fried meat.

★
“At least, she’s happy.” Samuel said to himself. It was their loud laughter that led his eyes to their table and was surprised to see them getting along,

“Well, it’s been months. What do I expect?” He said and wiped his mouth…

“Waiter!” He called.

A female waiter came to him smiling at him.

“My bills.” He said giving him his card.

“You look so cute.” The lady said.

“Thank you.”

“Here…thanks for your patronage.” She said giving him his card.

“Alright.” He said and stood up.

” Wait a minute. Can I have your contact please?” The lady asked.

“Why?”

“Just in case we have another food on our menu.” She said.

“I don’t come here often. Thanks anyways.” Samuel said and left leaving the lady to daydream.

**
On the other hand, Alice was cursing the lady in her mind for talking to Samuel.

“Who the hell does she think she is?”

Philip was home alone eating when his phone rang.

📲Mr Philip

📞Good morning sir

📲The files you’re to submit on Monday morning must get to me now and it’s urgent.

📞But sir, the contract got to our company yesterday and we’re still working on it sir. We’ve believed we’re to send it to you as early as possible on Monday.

📲But things has changed now. You got to submit the files today or we withdraw the contract ’cause other companies are ready to take the offer.

📞But sir…

📲No more word. If I don’t see the files on my mail in the next two hours, consider it null.

📞S..

The call ended.

Frustrated, he dialled Dammie’s number but she wasn’t picking it. He stood up, changed his clothes, fetch his car key and drove to his company still dialling Dammie’s number.

“Calm down ma’am. She’d be fine.” A nurse told Mrs Jenny.

She has been restless ever since she learnt her daughter was admitted in the hospital.

Emmanuel was there too with her, although he looked somehow calm ’cause there’s more going in in his head than been restless over any other person.

It was Philip that brought him to the hospital seeing her unconscious and has went back to the office to continue what she couldn’t finish.

Soon, a doctor walked in with two nurses behind him. Mrs Jenny quickly rushed to him and Emmanuel followed suit.

“How’s my daughter doing? Has she woken up?” She asked.

“Yes and she is fine. Who are you to her?” The doctor asked.

The other two nurses has left..

“I’m her mother and here is her brother. You can tell us anything.” She said.

“Let’s go to my office.” The doctor said.

Mrs Jenny looked at Emmanuel slowly.

“Let’s go.” Emmanuel said.

*★★*

“Gosh! Today was so thrilling and exciting. I love it out there!” Alice scre-med immediately they entered the house.

“Yeah babe.” George said

” Babe?” Alice repeated.

“Oh sorry…no offence.” He apologize.

“No…I…I like it.” She said.

“Really?”

She nodded her head positively. George closed the gap between them and hugged her.

The hug was interrupted by his phone ringing.

“Who’s this mood spoiler?” He grumbled as they parted.

“Pick it already.” Alice said softly.

📲Hello …! Come over to the hospital right now to come and clean your mess.

📞Sorry, who am I speaking with?

📲 SAN hospital, ward 207B

📞No…I don’t k…
The call ended.

“What happened?” Alice asked.

“I was told to come to SAN hospital right away.”

“For what? Is there any problem?” Alice asked.

“I don’t know not until I get there.”

“Then, let’s go together.”

“Is that okay by you?” He asked..

“Sure.”

And they went out together.
