It’s getting to mid-day and Cindy couldn’t reach Samuel, so she put a call through to Ellen.
📲 Girlfriend
📞Ellen… how’re you?
📲I am fine, and you?
📞I am not fine…at all.
Cindy said, whining like a baby.
📲What happened to you? Where are you? Are you okay?
📞I miss Samuel.
📲Are you seriously telling me this?
📞Of course! He’s not picking my calls and he haven’t spoken to me since yesterday when I left his house
📲He might be busy or something. Calm down…have you eaten?
📞 He’s not a type that wouldn’t create time for me
📲Have you eaten?
📞I cooked but I lost interest at the end. I want fried yam but I’m too lazy to do that. So I’m hungry.
📲I will get someone to bring that for you right now. Eat first, then we’d talk about Samuel later. Bye!
📞No dear. Samuel should come first before…
Ellen has ended the call before Cindy could finish her statement.
“Oh…gosh ! Ellen you’re one trouble!” She said resting her back on the couch.
“Sam…” She called with a sleepy voice. Minutes later, she was fast asleep.

The doorbell to Lizzy’s apartment rang.
“I wasn’t expecting anyone today.” Lizzy said.
“Is that Angela?” Ann asked.
“I am not sure. But let me get the door first. Focus on your assignment.” Lizzy said.
Ann nodded innocently and continued her assignments while Lizzy went to the door.
“John told me he won’t be around this weekend…” She muttered as she get more closer to the door.
She opened it without peeping through the peeph0le on the door.
Her eyes w¡dened in shock and her heartbeat increased seeing the figure in her front.
“J..j..John?” She called more like a questioning manner.
“Yeah babe. Are you okay?” John asked.
“Yes I’m okay. You told me you won’t..”
He interrupted her.
“Yes, I said so. But the trip has been cancelled till another time. So I just branch here to give you the surprise visit.”
” O…okay.” Lizzy said finding it hærd to breathe.
” I expect you to hug me for you told me you gonna miss me a lot. And now I’m here, you’re acting weird. Any problem?”
” Not at all..” Lizzy answered and hugged him even though her mind is not at rest.
” Mummy, I don’t know this particular number. Can you come and explain to me?” Ann voice was heard from the living room.
Lizzy wished the ground to open up and swallow her that moment.
John slowly withdrew from the hug and made her face him.
” Did I heard right?” He asked.
Lizzy was picking on her nails. Word failed her.
” Mum, you are not…” Ann came to view but stopped talking as she saw John.
” Sorry, I have no idea you have a visitor.” Ann said and turned to leave but John called her back.
” Pretty girl”
” Me?” Ann asked.
John nodded and gestured for her to come close and she did…
” What’s your name?” He asked.
” Annabella. Ann for short.’
“You have a sweet name.”
“Thank you sir.”
“You’re welcome. How old are you?”
“I’m eight. I’d be nine in two weeks time.”
” Really? Happy birthday In advance.”
” Thank you sir.”
John handed one of the bag he was holding to her. It contains food & snacks.
Ann hesitated looking at her mum innocently waiting for her approval but she’s getting none.
“Have it, your mum won’t say anything.” John said studying the little girl.
“Mum told me not to collect things from strangers.” Ann said
“Am I a stranger to you?” He asked.
Ann nodded her head positively slowly in response.
“Why? I thought we just converse some minutes ago.’
” But I don’t know your name.”
” I’m John. ”
” What do you do for a living?”
” A doctor.”
” Wow! Mum is a nurse. Does that mean, you both work in the same hospital?” She asked.
” Yes.” John answered.
” Who are you to mum?” Ann asked again.
” Ann…just leave.” Lizzy muttered.
” Mum…please.”
” Leave the little girl alone. Have it,okay? If your mum beat you, just let me know when next we meet.” John said.
” I can’t wait to see you again! Thank you for this.” Ann said and smiled cutely.
John smiled in return and the little girl left them giggling on her way to the living room as she checked what she’s holding.
Lizzy couldn’t breath as she was lost in the world of her own thought.
“She’s lovely.” John said facing her.
Lizzy looked up to meet his gaze but quickly lowered it again.
“Have this too. Take care. See you at work on Monday.” John said, took her hand and gave the bag to her.
He turned to leave when Lizzy spoke out
“I… I’m sorry.” She said faintly.
“For?” John asked.
She kept quiet again. John took a look at her and left.

Alice and George slowly entered the said ward and their eyes w¡dened seeing Dammie on the hospital bed with a woman by her side.
“Good afternoon.” George said.
Mrs Jenny looked up to their direction and hissed loudly.
” Welcome…you are George, right?” She asked ..
” Yes ma’am ” he answered.
Mrs Jenny scanned him from head to toe along with Alice that’s standing beside him with a disgusting face.
” Do you know her?” She asked pointing at Dammie.
George nodded positively.
” Good. She’s pregnant for you and you’re the father. Get ready for the necessary things ’cause my daughter would never be put to shame by nurturing the pregnancy all alone in my house.” Mrs Jenny said
” What do you mean ma?” George asked again to be sure.
” Dammie’s pregnant and you must marry her because she must not abort the pregnancy. The chances of her giving birth smoothly without any problem Is even slim…what is it that you don’t understand?’ Mrs Jenny shouted at him tears rolling down her cheeks.
Emmanuel had angrily left the hospital after hearing what the doctor said.
He couldn’t believe his ears when the doctor told them of the series of abortions she’d indulged in and the complications that might arise with the current pregnancy.
“That means you’re busy having abortions in Cindy’s hospital… that’s why you don’t want that lady for me in case she told me about it right?” He had shouted at her when she woke up earlier crying like tomorrow never exist.
“You’re busy painting the innocent lady for me when you’re the one doing the acts?” He had said angrily and stormed out of the hospital.
Mrs Jenny’s eyes were watery too. She couldn’t believe that she failed as a mother on her two children.
She was busy crying too when she asked Dammie about the pregnancy and the owner.
” Erm…ma. I and Dammie would settle this when she’s perfectly okay.” George said and looked at his side but couldn’t find Alice.
She’s left!
“Alice!” He shouted and hurriedly left the ward not minding the issue at hand.
