***UNEDITED!!***

In the Car…**

Samuel tried a wh0le lot in consoling Cindy. It took him almost an hour before she stopped crying out her eyes.

And luckily, when they were leaving, no one noticed anything about them. They walked peacefully out of the hospital without any obstacles or anyone disturbing them.

He was still holding her hand as Cindy kept sulking in tears.

“What do we do now? We can’t just keep silent. We can’t do or settle it alone.” Samuel said.

“I’m left with no choice than to let my parents know about it.” Cindy said slowly.

“Just don’t panic. Emmanuel’s gonna marry you. I’m sure. ” Samuel assured.

Cindy smiled dryly and nodded.

Samuel placed her hand down gently before driving out of the hospital…

****

Dammie entered the house. She had angrily left her brother’s house and came home.

“Eva!” She shouted.

“Yes miss.” Eva replied running out of the kitchen with an apron tied around her body.

“Why didn’t you answer me before?” Dammie questioned.

“I’m sorry miss…” Eva apologized.

“Sorry for your head. What are you cooking?” She questioned.

“Yam and…” Eva was interrupted.

“Shut it. Trash that yam and prepared salad and chicken sauce for me.” She said.

“Sorry miss, but that’s what the timetable says.” Eva said.

“Do as I say. Fu*k the timetable.” Dammie spat and left the living room to her room.

She got to her room and started pacing around with different thoughts in her head.

“Cindy…that silly lady is really trying in enchanting my brother. If she eventually marry my brother…there’d be problem. Big one at that. Nun would skin me alive if she get to know my waywardness acts. what do I do? That lady must not get the happiness expected in a matrimonial home.” She soliloquies.

Then, Jenny, Emmanuel’s PA crossed her mind. She smiled like someone who won a lottery.

“yes! She’d be useful.” she muttered going to the bathroom.

“On the other hand, I expected that hottie to have chased his wife out of his house last night so I can have space in there….what’s happening? I got to visit George again to see what’s happening.” She thought as she turned on the shower.

*****

“What are you saying? Are you joking or acting?” Mrs Veronica flared up after Cindy had told them in tears that she’s pregnant.

Cindy went to her knees pleading.

“I don’t know how it really happen,mum. But it just happened. It’s still like a dream to me.” Cindy said.

Samuel was just watching with mixed feelings…

“Get up and sit down.” Lawyer James said.

“Sit where? she can’t sit. what are you looking when you’re enjoying the damn thing. Didn’t you think about the consequences before you engaged into it just two weeks to your wedding. What kind if silly stupid urge made you do the do?” Mrs Veronica asked angrily.

“I’m sorry….” Cindy muttered.

Lawyer James came to her where she was kneeling down and raised her up.

“Sorry daughter, hope you’ve told Emmanuel about it? I’m sure he’d be so happy.” Lawyer James asked .

Cindy bursted into another round of tears as she sat on the bare tiled floor wailing.

“What? I just asked a question.” Lawyer James said.

“Stop crying and answer your dad’s question.” mrs Veronica said glaring at her.

“Samuel…why’s she crying?”Lawyer James asked puzzled as he took his seat again.

“Hmm…the thing is that.” Samuel cleared his throat.

“No one knew who owns the pregnancy. According to her which I also believe , she hasn’t copulated with any man yet she’s pregnant. Emmanuel has knew about it before now when they went for the medical check up.” Samuel said.

The room fell into silence as they digested what Samuel just said.

The only sound heard in the living room is from Cindy as she cried nonstop.

The silence was interrupted by the opening of the entrance door revealing pastor & Mrs Walter.

They were taken a back seeing the scene before them. They quietly took a seat and looked at Mrs Veronica and Lawyer James questioningly.

“What happened to our bride to be?” Pastor Walter asked.

“Pastor…Cindy has put me to shame.” mrs Veronica cried.

“God forbid.” Mrs Monica said as she went to seat with her.

“What really happened?”

“She’s pregnant.”

“What? Pregnant before marriage? Cindy why? It’s just two weeks to your wedding. Why did you allow the flesh to take over you?” Pastor asked.

All Cindy does it cry and wailed.

“Well…nothing can be done to it, lawyer James. We should be thankful she didn’t keep it to herself by trying to abort it thereby kicking the bucket through it. We should be happy, right?’ Pastor said.

“but pastor…what about other people? What will they say about this? That my V-rgin daughter is pregnant two weeks to her wedding? What should I be happy about?” Mrs Veronica asked..

“hm…mrs Veronica…after all she’s pregnant for her fiance.. There’s absolutely nothing to be worries about.” Mrs Monica said.

“That’s where the problem lies mummy. We don’t know the owner of the pregnancy. Emmanuel has never touched her.” Mrs Veronica said crying out louder.

“What?” They both exclaimed in shock.

“Unbelievable! Were you raped?’ Mrs Monica asked.

“No ma. She wasn’t rape.” Samuel answered.

“We can’t blame Cindy. This is the time she need us most. Cindy isn’t a child that she wouldn’t know who got her pregnant if it was by s’x. Medically, women don’t get pregnant by s€× alone. They get pregnant through artificial method too called in vitro fertilization IVF. For Cindy to be pregnant without being rape or copulated with then it must have been through IVF method. For someone to do that to her, the person must so much hate Cindy and doesn’t want her happiness. Cindy as we all know, is a blessing to everyone around her. We all know what she can do and what she cannot do. Don’t let us blame her. As she is, she isn’t in her right state of mind. She need us all not to condemn her but to encourage her. I believe sooner or later the truth behind her pregnancy would be known.” Samuel said.

Just as if he enchanted them all…they kept silent as they digested what he just said.

“There’s sense in what this young man said.” Pastor pointed.

Mrs Monica smiled and nodded affirmatively

Lawyer James and Mrs Veronica stood up immediately and moved closer to Cindy where she was seated dejectedly. They helped her stood up and hugged her.

“Sorry Naomi. I’m really sorry.” Lawyer James said.

“Sorry darling.” Mrs Veronica said.

They hugged for some minutes before they parted and they led her to seat between them.

“Sorry…Cindy.” Pastor Walter and his wife said at the same time.

“Thank you.’ Cindy said almost in a whisper.

“But the person that do this to you will not go scot free. He/she will not go unpunished.” mrs Monica said.

“He/she will never know peace.” She added.

“It’s okay. Don’t bother cursing the fellow. God will surely fight for her.” Pastor said.

“Now…the next thing is to know what Emmanuel have in mind concerning the issue on ground.” Samuel said.

“Yes, you are right.” Mrs Veronica concurred.

“Absolutely.” Pastor said.

“Let me call him.” Lawyer James said taking out his phone from his pocket.

Cindy rested her head on her mum’s shoulder looking like someone in trance.

Everywhere was silent as they were watching lawyer James called Emmanuel.

Just when he was about to place the phone on his left ear…the door opened revealing Emmanuel and Mrs Jenny.

Cindy raised her head from mrs Veronica’s shoulder and stared at him. She can’t explain what she’s feeling.

She’s happy, sad, ashamed and embarrassed at the same time. She’s having mixed feelings as she just watch him came in fully.

Emmanuel on sighting Cindy rushed to her and pulled her up into a hug….tight one.

He hugged her so tightly to everybody seated surprise.

“I’m sorry for making you shed tears. I’m really sorry my baby.” Emmanuel apologized still hugging her.

Cindy smiled sweetly on his shoulder as she enjoyed more of the moment.

Everyone seated were in smiles.

Mrs Jenny took her seat beside Samuel.

“Open this damn door!” Dammie shouted as she continued knocking on the door in George’s house.

She had left the house after taking her bath. She didn’t bother eating.

George slowly walked out of his bedroom …

Alice has left the house some minutes ago. Samuel’s lawyer called to see her.

“What the hell do you want now?” He questioned as he opened the door..

Dammie kicked the door with her leg making it opened w¡der.

She walked in,side looking around again. She checked nook and crannies of the house but didn’t find anyone.

“Satisfy?” George asked standing akimbo.

Dammie glared at him. She walked to the guest room and pushed it opened.

She entered the room and looked around. She saw nothing. She opened the wardrobe and gasped at what she saw.

“George!!!! What the f*ck is this?” Dammie scre-med loudly.

“What is it? Why shouting?” George asked as he walked in,side.

“Who owns this trash?” She asked

“Trash?”

“Yeah..Alice, right?”

“And what if I say yes?’

“Then you must be mad!”

“Shut up. I’m the man here. You can’t just dictate for me.”

“Really? No problem! Keep it up. But mind you, Alice has no space in this house. I am yours and you are mine alone! No one can separate us. Not even a tiny Alice,understand?” Dammie yelled.

George laughed shortly.

“Do you want to know the truth? I will tell you now.” George said as Dammie glared at him shaking her body vigorously.

“Alice was my ex girlfriend. We’re together for more than ten years. You don’t need to know what happened that made us separated . just know that Alice was my first love. I loved her and I still love her and I’d still continue to love her no matter the circ-mstances.” George said.

Dammie was trembling as George finished talking.

“You told me….she….she sed-ce you.” She managed to say.

“Well…that’s how naive you are. I love Alice I can say that millions of time.” George repeated.

“You must be joking. How dare you, George? After offering you my body and heart you still have the gut to say to my face that you love another stinking lady! See….listen and listen good. I have nowhere to go. You and I are made for each other. Alice has no space in this place like I said. I don’t Care if you’ve spent decades of years together…all I know is that we’re getting married soon.” Dammie said.

“You are joking. I don’t love you anymore, Dammie. I wanna make things work out with my first love. You are nothing but history to me now.” George said.

Dammie’s eyes were teary as she stared intently at George.

“Are you kind of joking?”

“No I’m not. I’m saying the f”cking truth?’ George said.

Meanwhile…Alice just came back from where she went to see the Lawyer. And she has signed the papers helplessly. She really regretted her past actions but nothing can be done to undo the past.

She had decided on her way back that she’s gonna live life at its very best. She’s gonna pick up the race again. She’s gonna find a decent job and live a happy life alone till she die. After seeing a job, she’s gonna leave George’s life and house. That was her thought until she got home and was hearing voices.

She listened carefully hearing everything being said.

She knew it’d be George and I girlfriend.

“Did Georg mean all these? No. It can’t be.” She thought as she erased the thoughts.

She stood still listening when she heard her spoke again.

“This isn’t the end, George. I’m still coming back.” Dammie said and stormed out of the room.

She met Alice and shot her a deadly look before leaving slamming the door hærd.

George came out minutes later and was surprised to see her.

“You broke her heart. Were you sent to be breaking lady’s heart on earth? Is that your mission?” She questioned.

“No dear. It’s because of the love I have for you. Please…let’s make it work again.” George pleaded.

“You must be sick upstairs. Liar!” She said and Walked passed him into the room.

George watched her leave and sighed.

“I love you,Cindy! No matter what, we are getting married two weeks time.” Emmanuel said.

“Really? Are you for real?” Cindy asked holding his hands.

“Yes. My love. I mean it.”

“Wow! Thank you darling. Thanks so much. I love you more.” Cindy gushed.

Everyone clapped.

Cindy went to hugged mrs Jenny.

“Thanks mother.” She said.

“No problem dear.” Mrs Jenny said.

“Samuel…thank you for enlightening us.” Everyone appreciated him.

Soon…the pastor and his wife left after praying for them all.

Evening

At the Walter house in the dining.

“This is unbelievable. But I’m glad God has stepped in to the matter. Sister Cindy is such an upright lady.” Peter said.

“I know right? But the person that do that will never know peace.” Joy said.

Philip was about drinking water when she said that. He choked on the water and started coughing.

“Sorry bro. But indeed…the person that did such to Cindy will surely suffer!’ Peter added.

Philip cough multiply in millions fold.

“Why the sudden cough?” Mrs Monica asked.

Pastor wasn’t in the dining. He went to the church to pray on behalf of Cindy for God to expose the evil doer behind the unknown pregnancy.

“Nothing.” Philip tried to say as the cough subsided.

“Sorry.” They said at once.

“Thanks. Stop cursing.” Philip said.

“Why? I expected you to curse the person too.” Joy said.

“Don’t curse again. Just pray for her to put to bed safely. It has happened already.” Philip said awkwardly.

“Pray? This isn’t praying matter. It’s only curse that can settle this matter.” Peter said.

“Children stop that already.” mrs Monica said.

“That person ehm…” Joy said.

“Warn them, mum to stop cursing. The lady isn’t their sister. Why getting stressed over another person’s problem.” Philip said obviously angry

“What’s making you angry?” Joy asked.

“Philip. Cindy isn’t just another person but our daughter. Our church member. We should care.” Mrs Veronica said.

“Continue caring but don’t curse.” philip said standing up.

“Where to?”

“To where there won’t be curse.” He answered and leave.

The table went silent as they watched him leave in awe.

Philip got to his room frustratedly.

“What have I done ? Everyone is now raining curses on me even my family members. Finally…I’m doomed big time! Thomas ….you will never know peace.” He muttered
