--continuation-- The time was 9:10pm and Mark was getting ready to sleep when he remembered his family in America. He felt a pang of guilt the moment he remembered that he hadn't spoken with them for over a week now, his wife, his mother, his boss in the states, his colleagues, a whole lot of people. "Am I drifting apart from them?" He asked himself as he picked up his phone and dialled his mother's number. While he waited patiently, he prayed within himself that his mother at least picked his call. "Hello mum." He half screamed the moment he heard the sound at the other end, but silence 'replied' him. "Mum, are you there?" He asked. "Mark, is this you?" Grace's voice boomed. "Yes mum." He replied. "Mark, what happened to the love you have for your family? For the past eight days, you didn't call me, you didn't call Kimber. Even when she called you, you refused to answer and even switched off your phone." His mother began. "Mark, whatever happened to the love you have for this small family of yours, its better you trace it, face it and fix it once, because you have upholded this family for many years, during your highschool days. Kimberly joined us few years later, you have been the man of the house since then and now, just two weeks in Nigeria and the music changed." Grace continued. "Mum, its not what you think..." He protested, but she cut him short midway. "Keep quiet and let me talk. If you being in Nigeria is the cause of this problem then I want you to return. If your working for the CIA will make them transfer you to the hottest war ravaged countries, then I think you should resign. Mark, I am tired. I can no longer wake up every morning to console Kimberly. She felt she has lost you. Mark, this is your family, Kim has your child, retrace your step before it is too late." His mother continued. Something he had learnt over the years was, when Madam Grace was talking(most especially with anger) in your own best interest, just keep your mouth shut. Attempting to deny or argue with her will only make her talk non stop for twnety four hours. "Mum, can you please stop this already, you don't know why I have been unable to call and you are here lashing me as if..." His voice trailed off. "Talk to me." She urged. "Where is Kimberly? I need to talk to her." He said fearlessly. "Fine, I'll just give the phone to her." His mother said and a minute later, a tired voice came on. "Hello, who is this?" The feminine voice asked. Then it dawned on him that his mother had played a fast one on his wife, because the Kimberly she knew when angry will never pick your call. Not even by mistake will she answer your call, even with an unregistered number on her phone, she'll just switch off her phone, not minding if the caller want to talk business. "Please don't hang up baby. Its me Mark." He pleaded. "Mark! You." She exclaimed and the line went silent. He listened to her cries for the next ten minutes, because one thing he had learnt over the years was that when a lady is crying, she tends to make it look worse, by crying to a point that one think she is unconsolable, provided there is man lending her a shoulder to cry on. But when one leaves them to cry all they want, sooner than later, they will stop crying. "Mark, are you human at all?" She asked with a shaky voice. "Baby, I can explain." He said. "There is nothing to explain. I have spoken to my lawyer, we are meeting in court." She threatened. The word divorce was the only word he failed to include in his dictionary and heading to the court less than a year and a half since they left the court as couples would be a very bad idea. "Baby, I have a story to tell, only if you'll listen to me. The day you called me, I was at the hospital, after I alongside my colleagues averted a bomb blast and unfortunately, I was hit." He explained. "Oh my God! Baby, how are you feeling now?" He could feel the fret in her voice. "Its nothing serious. I am good now." "If you could hide such news from me, then I know you are hiding your current state of health. I am catching the next available tourist flight to Nigeria." She said before hanging up. He heaved a sigh of relief. "Did I lie to her? No, I was hit during the blast." He thought, and just then the light in his balcony went off and in the dark, he could see a figure climb and land unto it safely. --to be continued-- 1 Like |
