In love with the housegirl
Episode 17-18
Mrs. Ola came back with 3 sticks of roasted corn as I asked…
“Good. Now go in,side and bring me some solid food..whatever you prepared” I ordered as I unrapped the corn and began eating. I finally had Mrs. Ola at her throat…
I finished eating and returned to my room. My sentiments were strongly telling me to hide my phone in,side my cupboard, which I did. I put it back in,side it’s carton and put it in my cupboard. I locked it up and kept the key in,side my wardrobe. I should take advantage of the occasion and tell Mrs. Ola to give me money so I free Jane…I thought to myself. I heard a bang on my door and it was Mrs. Ola with a coolval stories large pistle in her hands…
she held it firmly. I wondered what she intended to do with a stick and why she would badge into my room like that. “Jade, I can’t let you ruin my plans. Wouldn’t want you to let my husband know about what I’ve been doing” she said as she charged towards me. Before I could get on my feet(I had been kneeling all this while to arrange a few stuff at the bottom of my wardrobe) Mrs. Ola hit my head with the large stick…
Dark angels..butterflies..showers flowing backwards..voice of my dad calling from a faint distance. A bridge behind me broke. Strange voices crying…others laughing…ghosts parading up and down with white clothes…
Jade’s Mom(mama Chibuzor) POV
I arranged my farm tools and prepared to take my leave to the farm when mama odera my neighbor and customer rushed into my compound p-nting. Before I could say a word, she fell on the ground and cried at the top of her voice.
“Jade oooooo, Jade oooooo” were the words that left her mouth. I still couldn’t understand.
“Jade my son, what happened to my Jade, what happened?” I asked as my blood pressure increased and tears began to cloud my eyes
“Papa Okey just returned from the city. He confirmed that someone k….lled Jade and before they could rush him to the hospital it was all over ohh” she said shouting and crying uncontrollably…
I opened my mouth to talk but words could not come out. My eyes began to deem and my body weakened. I fell to the ground. Voices of neighbors and well wishers brought me back to life. My compound was already full of people.
“Why didn’t you leave me to die? Let me go and join my husband. Leave me to die. What’s the point of living. My lineage has been wiped off. I want to go and meet my boy. Let me gooo. He s-ckled from these br33sts” I said, trying to fall and take life away from myself. There was no point living. The only thing stopping me from taking my life was some women who kept holding me and tapping my shoulders. They would not understand.
“My enemies will laugh…they will laugh at me ohhh, my lineage has been wiped off. Jade I didn’t finish b…ryrying your father, you have joined him. Oh, oh, I am finished” I wailed in pain….
Shola’s POV
I left my room and went to check on Jade. As I approached his room, Ola ran out with a pistle. I knew something was wrong. I rushed to his room and opened the door. He lay on the floor l33feless. “Jade,Jade” I called but he didn’t respond. I brought out my phone. I called the regional hospital line for an ambulanc3. I didn’t notice when streams of warm tears flowed down my eyes.
The health personnel arrived about 5 minutes later with a van. 2 men came into the room with a stretcher, put him on and carried into the van which I followed. As we arrived the hospital, some nurses ran to the ambulance with a stretcher and placed him on it. He was pushed into the em33rgency ward while I was asked to wait at the reception. I was restless…I wasn’t sure what to do. Oh, Ola how could you? How can you hate a human to this extent? After 45 minutes the doctor came out of the ward all sw33aty. His face didn’t look bright. “Is he ok? I asked, but the doctor didn’t respond. He just stared at the floor and shook his head…..

Episode 18
Shola’ POV
“Doctor, what do you mean? Shaking your head doesn’t answer my question” I asked the short bald headed shrout man probably in his mid 50s
“Whoever attacked him did a lot of damage. He is in a very critical state but we will try our best He has been put on oxygen…
I breathe a huge sigh of relief knowing there was some hope. My only wish at that time was that he should survive
“What are his chances of surviving, Doctor”? I asked still worried
“Well, his chances are 15% because we have all sophisticated instruments to handle such a case. Had it been he was in another hospital he wouldn’t have survived” the doctor replied…
“We will need a deposit of 3.5million before we can run further tests on him. Please get to the cashier and bring a receipt to my office. Every second counts maam. I would start rushing if I were you” the doctor added as he quickly turned and returned to her office.
I had no idea how I was going to raise the money but I had to. Life was more precious than any amount of money. My dad had just sent my allowance of 450,000 which I used part of it to acquire Jade’s birthday gift. I stood outside the hospital building thinking about my next move.
A black Hummer Jeep drove into the hospital compound and two men stepped out. One of them was a young man and the other was an old man in his early 60s wearing an “agbada”. He tucked his agbada dress to his shoulder as he stepped out of the car. Then another lady stepped out of the vehicle. It was a familiar face. The lady looked like Anne the househelp. I looked more closely and saw that she looked so familiar. The stress had probably gone to my head because I had a lot in my mind. It couldn’t be her…I snubbed and left not certain about where I would get the balance.
Jade POV…
A white being stood in front of me…it muttered some words which I couldn’t hear. I could only hear it calling my name in a feminine voice.
“J-boy, j-boy…..!” it called as my vision became blur and blur. The voice suddenly stopped and became more real as my eyes gradually opened. The face I saw was familiar…
“Anne, is that you? I asked with difficulty, trying to come to the reality that I was still alive.
“J-boy, it’s me” she said as she bent herself and hugged me on the bed. She looked so much beautiful and her clothing was expensive. She wore make-up and her l-ips glowed… Streams of warm tears trickled from my eyes and w-t the bed as I hugged her. I felt life again. There was something about Anne which gave me energy and hope. I felt I was part of her somehow.
“Am sorry, things didn’t go as planned. I wanted to come visit you at the inn…
“Shhhh” she interrupted as she lose herself from me. I wanted to stand up but I felt a very severe pain in my head which caused me to lay back on the bed. I cried more, realising I was helpless. My memories began coming back, causing more pain as my brain restored itself. Within the flash of 5 seconds I felt a sudden rage. I felt like taking life…the life of Mrs. Ola. I was blood-thirsty at that moment…
Shola’s POV.
I returned to the mansion to report what had happened to my sister’s husband so she could apprehend her criminal wife and make her face justice while we sought for a solution on how to raise money for Jade’s operation. I opened the door and found Ola in tears…
“Honey, he tried to rape me, he lured me into his room and started undressing me. When I wanted to run out, he held me and pushed me to his bed. I…..I managed to fight my way back up but he pushed me again. I was defending myself, am sorry. The gateman you brought here is a rapist…he tried to rape me” she said in tears as she leaned on her husband’s chest and cried more. I was dumbfounded and dazzled. I couldn’t believe my sister could dish out such horrific stories. I watched her shed crocodile tears on the shoulders of her ignorant puppet husband. I didn’t know my sister anymore. She had become something else….a beast. I couldn’t find a good adjective to describe what she had turned into…
