Episode 23.

🌷SAM🌷
It’s obvious someone came around the house yesterday apart from our neighbor.

But I can’t remember who it was and Deborah shut the door on my face this morning when I went to talk to her.

I was hoping she would know or notice the person that came around, I had a lot of questions to ask but she’s not in the mood it seems.

What could be vexing Debbie? I remember she came around last night and we drank and… Well, yeah… We drank as usual. That’s all.

Nonetheless, I am making Rose’s favorite food and I will take it to go see her at the hospital.

Eva must be there and I can’t wait to see them, I have really missed them.

I checked the time through my phone for the third time, “Eish, how can it be running so fast” I hissed.

It’s almost eight o’clock in the morning and it doesn’t seem like Eva replied my mail, text or even bothered to call.

“She must have been busy, kids can be a handful,” I smiled at the memory of a big daddy babysitting his kids.

“Should I call her first or Mama?” I mused thinking of how Mama left without my knowledge.

I just realized that I have been so busy wallowing in self pity and must have neglected my family in the process.

“Amanda, you must pay for everything. How come I didn’t notice your plans all the while you were extorting money from me… Am such a fool”

I regretted ever hiring her out of pity, she doesn’t even have good grades and reports. I was only being kind and I can see there’s no good in helping others.

How can she take advantage of my goodwill? Was she sent by…probably an enemy? Who really is she?

“Sam, see your family first and foremost. After that, big up and chest your trouble like a man, you can’t keep running away from it like a coward!”

I took a food flask left lying on the counter and wondered how it got there because I didn’t see it there last night.

“Could it be possible that Eva was the one that came here? If she did, then she saw my text”

But then, why didn’t she…maybe it’s because I was sleeping. I will find out exactly what has been going on under my nose when I get to see my sweet Eva.

I whistled to entertain myself as I washed the flask so that I will use it to take food to the hospital when the doorbell interrupted.

“I’m coming!” I went to check who’s at the door. Jake stood there dressed in casual outfit when I opened the door.

“Hey, dude?” He extended a hand for a shake.

“Mr. Single, you actually look promising outside your office dress, hope you have been booked up?” I mused as we shook hands.

We went in,side the kitchen together.

“Do I look otherwise before?” Jake posed around proudly.

“Do you care for some coffee?” He sat down on a kitchen stool and watched me closely as if he’s seeing me for the first time.

“Am happy you are in your right senses today, Sam. What has been going on with your life, dude?” He asked being more serious than I have ever seen him.

“What are you driving at? It’s not my fault that I trusted the wrong person or have you come to mock me?” I misunderstood, I guess because his countenance whitened.

“No! Not that, or it could probably be because you’re not the Samuel I used to know” he said.

“I still don’t get you. Stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point, I’m getting more confused by your meaningless accusations” I ass**ted.

“Okay, are you aware of the fact that Eva attempted suicide two days ago?!” He dropped a bombshell for me.

“What?! How? When? Why?!!” I dropped everything I was doing and gave him all my attention.

“See? You are even surprised! How can you still call yourself a husband?!” He exclaimed jumping off the stool in anger.

“How… God, why would she think of something like that not to mention acting on it? No, Eva won’t…”

“Why wouldn’t she while her daughter is bedridden and her husband is facing the worst days of his life and blames her for the misfortune!”

He isn’t serious, is he? No, I still think he wants to play one of his pranks and it’s getting to me because I hate such plays.

“For your information, she called me early this morning and requested for annulment” he let out and I gripped his collar angrily.

“Don’t joke with me like that again! I know I was an assh-le when I asked for divorce but it wasn’t serious and I hate to be reminded of that nonsense!” I snarled.

“Oh, you think am joking? Get your act together and I will help you clean your mess or I rest my case, young man!” He returned.

Jake brushed off my hands and stood up to me for the first time and I know he’s damn serious.

“You think you are the one who’s sad about what’s happening, actually, no, Eva is the one that’s more affected by all this things and yet all you do is hurt her more!”

He snapped pointing disgustingly at my face. I opened my mouth to defend myself and he raised a finger to quieten me.

“Am not finished! You go about cramming your system with alcohol and beats her or anyone else that comes to your presence when you are freaking drunk!”

“Who does that?! Tell me! You are no different than an animal and you disgust me for…”

A punch landed on his jaw and sent him flying backwards, I was overwhelmed by rage and I only noticed I had thrown the punch when I looked at my knuckles.

“Interesting! I should have known you are still as good as drunk!” He screeched and turned angrily to leave.

“F-ck! What the hell is wrong with me? Jake, come on… Am sorry!” I caught him before he crossed the sitting room.

“Get your freaky godforsaken hands off me or you pay for this!” He yelled trying hærd to push me away.

“Come on, I already said am sorry, should I kneel down?” He calmed down but still glared at me, “Sorry…” I pleaded.

I know his anger suddenly subsided because of the willingness of which I apologized. That’s the most awkward thing I ever does, he knows the amount of energy that one word takes from me.

“You had better be… And please, fix my jaw, I want to eat Christmas rice” He spoke more quietly.

“I will, anything you want. What do you suggest I should do? I didn’t know I… God, it was Deborah that led me into drinking like her miserable self” I explained sadly.

“Deborah? Benny’s mother?” Jake inquired recalling my worst adviser of the year neighbor.

“Yes, I went drinking with her a couple of times for the past few days and even…”

“Last night?!” His eyes popped out.

“Yes, how did you know?” I asked wondering if he’s the one that came last night.

“No wonder! In your bedroom, right?”

“Yes, we…”

“Sam! You have killed yourself, Eva came here last night and like she told me, Deborah was on top of you clearly not as intoxicated as you!”

“She did?”

“Not once, but twice and you broke her heart those two times. First, you man handled her and secondly, she saw you and another woman on your matrimonial bed!!”

“Jake, am finished! Deborah is a devil!! So that was her motive for feeding me with fake advises that will rather mar me!” I gro-ned.

“We had better start going to the hospital, who knows, you might get a chance to win your wife’s heart back, if you don’t, am sorry for you” Jake proposed.

“Right away, let me bring the food I cooked” I ran into the kitchen.

🌷EVA🌷
“Mama, I will spend the night at the hospital and I will come home with Rose tomorrow, the doctor said she’s fit to be discharged”

“Kate might be a lot of stress, are you sure you can handle her together with…”

“Don’t worry, mother, I will manage. She has missed me a lot this few days” I forced a smile to my face, I still have got not enough courage to tell them my intention to divorce Sam.

“Okay, that’s so thoughtful of you. Take my car key for easy transportation” She returned my smile and touched my cheeks fondly.

“Thanks” I said and went off.

*at the hospital*

“Mom, where’s Dad? Why isn’t he visiting me?” Rose is at the verge of tears and I feel horrible because I will have to lie again.

“Your father is very busy, Rose. I thought we have already talked about this, don’t worry, he will come soon, okay?”

“Can you at least call him so that we will talk over the phone?”

“His phone has been off since yesterday and I guess his battery must have run down” I came prepared for this.

“How can that be? Dad never leaves his phone uncharged”

“Since you know so much, call him yourself!” I scolded and ended up startling Kate. She started whimpering immediately.

“You must be happy now” I am becoming unnecessarily angry this days and I don’t like it.

“Sorry…” Rose mumbled and lay down on the bed slowly.

“See, honey, your dad will come visit soon. I promise” she nodded though this is the fifth time am making this same promise and I know she isn’t buying it.

I gave her hand a light squeeze, “How is Tyrone?” She asked concerned about her younger brother.

“He is becoming as unbelievably irritating as every boy his age would be, he misses you” I replied brightly, happy that she is coming around.

The door opened and the doctor came in first, then Jake and Sam…

I stood up from the hospital chair I sat at once.

“Dad!” Rose made to stand up from the bed when her father moved towards her.

“How are you doing, honey?” He hugged her and I saw her brighten up even more.

“What is he doing here?!” I glared at Jake.

They are best of friends, what was I expecting…
