HER JOURNEY đ©âđŠ±đ
Episode 7
Many weeks had passed and Rolandâs three sons and their mother were giving Roland more troubles, gradually Roland had began to develop hypertension without even knowing it.
He had began to consider Collinâs advice of relocating to the United States or United Kingdom but when he remembered Agnes and his daughters he decided to wait till he had reconciled with his first family.
One day, Roland got a call from his buddy Collins. âGuess what, my friendâ Collins entered in excitement.
âPlease tell me my friend, Iâm not feeling well, Martha and her sons will not kill meâ Roland entered
âYou need to see a doctor then, but I have a great news, Chloe your daughter finally responded to the direct message I sent to her on her instagram handleâ Collins revealed at the other end of the phone.
âShe did, what did she say?â Roland responded in excitement.
âI have introduced my self to her and i requested for her phone number, I just hope she sends itâ Collins entered.
âIâm happy now, you know what my friend, I will come to Lagos tomorrow, I want to be there when you speak to herâŠâŠI didnt bond with my daughters when they were little because I was always far away because of my job, I watch them grow in pictures but whenever I am around, I always made up for the lost time. I hope my daughters especially Chloe remembers me and the time we once shared together, I know I was a terrible father, my job and my terrible brothers separated me from themâ Roland responded and he wiped tears from his eyes and continued. âMy friend, I hope Agnes had not remarriedâ
âThat I donât know, all I know is that Agnes and your children donât bear your surname anymoreâCollins revealed.
Roland felt so bad, he instantly lost the little hope he had of ever reconciling with his first family, within him he had concluded that he had lost his daughters and he wonât be able to reconcile with them. Instantly, Roland began to feel very ill, he began to feel very dizzy and shaky, he didnât even know when the phone fell off from his hands, Collins who had no idea of what was happening to his friend began to say âRolly, are you there? Hello?â the next thing Roland slumped on the floor.
His second wife, Martha saw him when he fell and she suddenly began to alert her sons, Even Collins could hear Rolandâs wife Martha, scre-ming out his name. Collins became restless and scared at the other end of the phone.
âPlease Lord, nothing should happen to my friend, oh why did I tell him that his daughters did not take his name, oh what have I done?â Collins thought.
The poor man was so confused and didnât know what next to do, Collins and Roland have been friends since they were children and they shared a special bond. Collins ended the call and rushed into one of his cars and was heading to the highway and his destination was Ibadan.
âLord, Please save my friendâhe prayed as he drove.
On the other hand, Roland had been rushed to the hospital and it had been revealed that he was hypertensive and worst his Coronary artery is blocked and an emergency surgery is needed to rectify the medical issue but first he must deposit at least a sum of five hundred thousand naira.
According to the doctor, a surgeon had been contacted and will be with them shortly but first the payment should be made immediately.
Two hours later, Collins had arrived Ibadan, when he called Martha, the rude woman reluctantly told him the name and the address of the hospital where Roland was admitted.
âThe doctor said Roland need five hundred thousand naira for the surgery and i and my sons donât have that kind of money, Roland your friend had refused to share his properties among his sons when he was healthy, we canât access his money because he refused to grant us access â Martha entered at once and Collins told her to send the hospitalâs account number so he could transfer the money.
Half hour later, Collins had arrived the hospital and he ran to the doctorâs office without saying a word to Martha.
âDoc. How is my friend, Roland? What is going on?â Collins asked, the doctor could see fear and anxiety clearly written on Collinâs face.
âPlease calm down, we will do our best, the Surgeon we invited from Lagos is here alreadyâ The doctor responded.
Just as they were conversing a beautiful lady walked into the doctorâs office and the doctor greeted her respectfully. âMadam are you ready for the surgery, the theatre is readyâ the doctor entered
âOh yesâ the beautiful lady replied and the doctor turned to Collins and said
âMr Collins, she is the Surgeon that we invited from Lagos, she is so good at what she does, I assure you your friend is in good handsâ
Collins turned to greet the surgeon, one good stare at the beautiful young lady, Collins recognized her immediately, âPaulinaâHe said in shock.
