FATE OF MIRABEL
Season 2, episode 10.
“What did you say my name is again? Benita asked. “Eunice, mum your name is Eunice and I am Clara your only child, she said holding her hands tightly. She stood looking at Clara directly in the eyes and memories came flashing when she embraced Clara telling her to read well for her exams. “Mum you won’t stay long right?, Clara asked. “No darling, we will come back once the wedding is over, she replied. She remembered how she was discussing with her husband before they clashed. She held her head wincing in pain, then Clara made her to sit down.” Mum what exactly happened?, she asked her later. “Where is my husband?, she asked back. “His gone, Clara replied. A tear dropped from Eunice eyes, “it’s ok mum, I’m glad you’re alive but were where you all these years?, Clara asked.
“After we clashed I can’t remember anything but waking up in a strange house. A young man about your father age approached me and he was inquiring things about me which I couldn’t tell. He was so good to me and I accepted him when he proposed to me months later and we left the country. “Just like that mum! You got married even when dad was not yet buried? You forgot about me so easily? Clara cried. “I swear I didn’t remember anything Clara, if I did I would have returned to you. I believe fate brought us together my daughter, Eunice said painfully. “I wish the same fate will bring me to my daughter too, Clara said without thinking. “What do you mean?, Eunice asked. “Never mind, what about your husband?, Clara asked. ” Let me call him, she brought out her phone and called him, telling him to meet her right away at the address she told him.
“How have you been Clara, Eunice asked while waiting for her husband. “Not been good, she replied. “But you have a big establishment, why is it not good? She asked. “Nothing has been good for me since both of you travelled and never returned. Worst of all you’ve been alive and happily married while I’m suffering, Clara scre-med. “Clara how will I make you understand, why can’t you just believe me when I say I didn’t know, do you know how I’m feeling now that I didn’t even have the chance to see my husband burial or cry for him Clara!, she scre-med back.” No matter what you say, believe me you feel nothing because Dad was forgotten long ago, he was replaced so easily, Clara replied. Eunice stared at her and realised talking to her that moment was useless. She held her head in her palms, patiently waiting for her husband to arrive.
There was silence in the room as mother and daughter kept exchanging glances but saying nothing until they heard a knock on the door and the receptionist walked in. “Ma, a man is here to see one Benita……, bring him in, Eunice interrupted her. The receptionist stared at Clara and she nodded, then she left.
A fair well built man walked in briskly into the office as Benita and Clara just looked at him with an expressionless face. “Hey, why that face? He stood confused. “Johnson sit down, Benita said which shocked Him as he stood wondering why she should address him that way with his name. ” did I hear you right? Did you just call me Johnson?, he said looking stern.” Ok since you don’t want to sit, fine! She stood up from where she sat approaching him. “Can you now tell me, where is my wedding ring?, she continued. “What ring are you talking about?, he asked. ” The ring you took off from my finger when I was unconscious, cmon Johnson you knew very well I was married, but you kept me for yourself why? Johnson just stood looking at her, “why bringing this now after all these years?, he asked. ” Don’t you get it? My memories are back, so don’t you think you have a lot to explain to me huh? Eunice said.
Johnson leg got weak as he drew a chair and sat down slowly still looking at Eunice, “did you just say you have your memories back?, he asked. ” Yes, I can remember my family and my name. I am Eunice not Benita and this young lady you see here is my only daughter,she shouted.

“What! How did that happen? Johnson exclaimed. “Enough of the introduction! Do you know I can get you arrested this minute?, Clara told Johnson. “Arrest me? You must be kidding, he said. ” Do I look like I’m joking? Clara asked. “You should be grateful I saved your mum ok! Johnson shouted. “Grateful for leaving my dad to die and taking my mum for yourself huh?, Clara shouted back. “Your dad died at the s₱0t, didn’t you see his corpse? How was his body? Do you think he would have survived it? He asked. Clara held her head in pain as the picture of her dad body came live in her memory. “The accident happened in the night if Eunice can still remember and whoever caused the accident escaped because the state was terrible. I was coming back from Lagos to calabar for an important meeting so I didn’t mind driving so late so I can make up. Then I saw the accident, I stopped to take a look at it even when I knew it was risky. I saw Eunice and checked her pulse, there was still life in her but as for your dad, he was already dead. I wanted rushing her to the hospital but then I thought the doctors might not give her the necessary treatment and attention she need because her chances of survival was so small. I took her and treated her my self for months and prolonging myself in calabar because I couldn’t go anywhere with her in her condition. When she finally woke up, she had an amnesia, Johnson explained.
“So you took her for yourself even when you knew she had a family, you kept her just for your selfish desires huh! Clara said. “I don’t know Eunice family ok, Johnson defended himself. “Her pictures was on TV because her body was missing, didn’t you see that too? Clara asked. “Whatever I did, I only wanted to safe a life ok, Johnson said and Clara bashed out from the office, slamming the door hærd behind her. Johnson drew near to Eunice, “please dear, I know what I did is unforgivable but believe me…… Enough please! She interrupted and left the office too while Johnson followed her behind pleading for a listening ear.
“Clara wait! Bernard ran holding her hands behind as she wanted entering her car. “Not now please, I’m not in a good mood, Clara replied. “I know, let’s sit out please, Bernard pleaded. Clara saw her mum coming out, “fine! She shut the door and followed Bernard to his car while Eunice stood speechless looking at her until they were out of sight.
“What’s the problem? I’ve never seen you in this mood before, Bernard asked. “It’s nothing, Clara replied. “No, there is something, please tell me, Bernard insisted. Clara then narrated everything to him. “You should be happy your mum is alive, Bernard Said after she was done. “I know, but I don’t know how I’m feeling right now. It’s crazy right?, Clara asked. Bernard smiled,” I understand why you are feeling that way. Maybe because your mum is already married to another man Right?, he asked but Clara couldn’t say anything. “You shouldn’t blame your mum because it wasn’t her choice to have an amnesia, she has apologised, I know it’s hærd but you have to forget and be grateful you still have a family, Bernard advised. “Thank you so much, Clara said.” I should thank you Clara for confining in me and for the first time talking to me in a cool way, Bernard said. “Ermmmm, Clara said scratching her head not knowing what to say next. “It’s okay, I hope it will continue this way. I’m not a bad person, please stop pushing me away from you. All I’m asking is a chance to be a good friend to you, Bernard said holding her hands.
