Episode 27.

🌷SAM🌷
“Gosh! I’m so tired, honey!” Eva sagged in my arms as I led her to bed.

The birthday party went as I planned and I give all glory to God for making it happen and gladly, Mama and Papa were very happy.

Bob and his siblings were joyful until they became overwhelmed by tiredness and they had no choice but to go to bed.

Eva’s happiness mattered much to me and she was all sprightly till our guests left before she allowed the signs of fatigue take control.

“I didn’t realize it’s already this late, there’s nothing more stressful than being the host of a party!” She whined twisting her neck in discomfort.

“Are you saying we should stop partying, huh?” I said helping her out of her shoes.

“I said nothing like that, I mean, hiring party planners and personnel that will take care of the party is better than playing host and serving your guests too” She explained curtly.

“Good, you did your work, didn’t you? You are a planner and it’s not bad to handle your own event” I teased trailing my fingers on her thighs.

“You win! Why didn’t you go for law in school instead of that business administration and all that…you know how to argue” She went on rom-nce revenge by gripping my neck tie.

“Who told you that I am not a law student, I’m taking lessons online because of you” I said and followed her gaze to the door. “I will lock the door”

“Do good to lock yourself because I’m very tired” She mocked and stood up from the bed.

“And where are you going?” I suspected.

“What does it look like, I want to take a shower and have a good night rest” she said and got ready to take her bath.

“Have a good night rest you say? What will happen to my odogwu that’s giving you a standing ovation?” I goaded and undressed quickly to join her.

“It will stand all night oo” She laughed and dragged me into the bathroom with her.

“This is the first time you said you are tired, are you really tired?” I asked putting our joke apart.

“Don’t worry, I can manage” She said placing her head on my chest as I turned the shower on.

“I can manage too” I said lifting her face so she would look at me. “You are trembling” sadness became visible in her eyes.

She stepped into the bathtub and urged me to switch off the shower and join her, we sat staring at each other for a while before a hot tear fell on my foot.

“Eva, you are crying. Did I do or say anything wrong?” I asked worriedly.

“No, Sam. I just can’t help but think about all that has transpired between us this past weeks, we were…” Her voice trailed off as she covered her face and cried.

“Hey, babe, don’t do that. Let’s put everything behind us and hope that this new us will yield a better result than before, please?” I held her hands away from her face.

She buried her face in the strength of my broad shoulder and cried the more, I felt bad for being a part of her sadness.

“I was very afraid, Sam, I thought I would loose you and everything we worked hærd to build, I didn’t know who to blame”

“You are never going to loose me neither will I loose you, I was consumed by anger and frustration that I failed to know that you are hurting the most”

“Sometimes, I think I don’t deserve to be happy but when I’m with you, I know that I deserve more, I feel different”

“And you are my world, Eva. There’s never gonna be me with you” I cupped her face so she would look at me.

“You know, I want to see Deborah’s deceitful face, I still can’t believe she is devious to that extent” she became the woman I met at the gym immediately.

“Are you planning to kill?” I flirted as I buried my face in her neck.

“I wish am capable of that, I will still ignore her because of Benny, she’s such a darling” her bravery worn out when I glanced at her face again.

“Yeah, I guess she purposely sent her off and I feel Debbie is suffering and depressed and she probably needs help” I said thoughtfully.

“You think so? If that’s the case, then I feel it’s related to her husband, I mean, Benny’s father” She implied.

“Whatever, let’s get out of here before you freeze on me” I coaxed.

We took a quick bath and went to bed, I didn’t cajole her into anything because she really was very tired.

The moment she lay down in the bed, she dozed off and I cuddled with her, it’s unusual to see her tired, everything that happened is taking its tour on her.

I awoke early the next morning, surprised at myself, I went into the kitchen and prepared a welcome dish for my family, I felt over the moon.

I took breakfast to her in bed and though she was awake when I got into the bedroom, she lay there mopping around as if she’s examining the bedroom for the first time.

“Hey, honey, beautiful morning” I greeted placing the tray of food beside her in the bed.

“Amazing Grace! Someone merits a medal for rising before me, what happened?” She chuckled.

“And you, an accolade for sleeping half of the day off, better stand before I pin you to bed and break your ribs with my hammer” I laughed.

“Awwn, he even made breakfast, today is my lucky day” She rose and opened the plate that contained her breakfast.

“You will remain lucky forever, my darling” I toyed with her earlobe.

“Thank you, I love you”

“I love you more”

She took a bite of fried egg and drank a little tea, “yummy! As irresistible as the maker”

“Don’t start, it’s too early for your naughty tricks, I just wanted to surprise you before going to the office, I have a lot to take care of” I warned.

“That reminds me me, have checked the kids?” She asked me concerned about Kate I assume.

“A ton of miracle is happening around this house lately, she slept peacefully all night till now, I think it has to do with you being here because she didn’t do that when you weren’t here”

“But she did back then and you would always complain, Jake is a good solicitor after all!” She winked at me.

“Accepted! I heard a lot about Yoruba women but I didn’t heed, we will talk about it next time”I laughed and went to prepare for work.

” It’s a good thing you learnt how to fry eggs, I was planning on hiring a house help” she called after me.

“The shower is running, so I can’t hear you!” I joked about it.

That’s the last thing I will condone in my home, a house help or any other domestic working stuff.

It would have helped when we were on the divorce agreement thing but I hate doing anything I have decided against.

🌷EVA🌷
I know how much he hates to hear about domestic workers, but I always love to tease him about his dislikes.

I expected him to get a nanny or a help during our little quarrel but he proved to be more headstrong than I thought.

He reminds me of my very self and that’s why we are so perfect together, oh yes, we are!

The morning went as smooth as it always was before things got out of hand, I was already driving out to meet with Sandra for business when I heard a cry from my neighbor’s house.

I parked in front of their gate and ran in to see what is going on because I heard Benny’s outcry loud and clear.

I knocked at the door and my heart beat increased a notch in fear of the unknown.

It took a long while before Benny opened the door and ran into my arms in tears, “My mother!” She wept.

“Benny, take a hold on yourself and tell me what happened” I had to be strong and believed it’s not what am thinking.

“I don’t know what’s happening to her, she’s not moving and there’s this…foamy substance all over her mouth” she gasped dragging me into the house.

My legs stopped moving, my blood seized and I froze at thee doorway, the rapid bangs in my heart became loud in my ear.

Oh, God, please. Let it not be what am thinking, by chance…let it be an illusion.

“I don’t want anything to happen to my mother! Please!!” Benny’s wail moved me again, I went into Debbie’s bedroom and I knew it’s already too late for anything.

“Benny, calm down, let’s go to my house, your mother will be…” I choked and almost slumped looking at the Debbie’s corpse.

“No! Why would she do this to me? She told me she will be my chief bridesmaid on my wedding day!! Why isn’t she moving?!” She refused to be consoled.

I felt like a dummy watching her shake her mother’s lifeless body in tears, my eyes were stung by hot tears.

“Come on, let’s go get a cab and take her to the hospital, she will be fine, okay?” I tried again because it would hurt her the more looking at her.

“Just tell me you will take her to the mortuary, I knew she doesn’t have the zeal to live again when she kept taking alcohol and kept looking for excuses to send me away!”

Oh, poor child! How does one forget times like this? Losing a loved one? Beloved ones betrayal? Unexpected departure?

I felt bad about what happened days ago in my matrimonial bed and I wished a lot of bad things to this woman but death wasn’t one of them.

Not in my weirdest dreams did I ever foresee her death in any other way not to think of her taking her own life, God is my witness, I never did.

Debbie, why? From the look of things, she must have taken poison or overdose of drugs on purpose to end her life for reasons best known to her.

Something caught my attention, a paper she held tight, she held it because she expected someone to see it and maybe it contains a message to her lovable daughter.

I was afraid to go close to her not to mention touching her so it was a great deal taking the piece of paper and stacking it into my handbag.

It’s obviously her last word to the world so I didn’t mind it right then. I compelled Benny out of the room and called Sam, Jake and Sandra.

I alerted other neighbors in time, her body has to be taken away from her daughter’s presence before we look for ways to send a message across to her family and husband if possible.
