I walked gingerly down the stairs, admiring everything about the house. It was so big and magnificent. The photo of a beautiful dark skinned woman and a man in a garden caught my eyes. They looked so happy, so alive, so...

" She had a lovely voice too"

I whirled around in fright and Emeka caught my hand before i could collapsed on the floor in sheer fright.

" Easy, didn't mean to frightened you."

" Its okay. Your parents?"

" Yea."

" Do you still miss them?"

" Sometimes. They had the virus, actual my dad had it and they only discovered when they went for their medical test as required by the church for their wedding"

My eyes drifted close.

" Despite dad testing positive to HIV, Mom insisted on marrying him, her family cut her off and they ran away together. They lived in happiness for five years until a condom accident one night, it either slipped off or broke"

" And they had you."

" Yea"

" So how come you also have it? didn't she have you through a C_section?"

" In those days the stigma was much worse, she was rejected at many hospitals when the news got around and she had me on the way to the hospital"

" Am so sorry"

He shrugged. " Dad sold off his business and properties and put the money in a trust fund for me because he knew his family would try to take them away from me. None of them wanted me anyway, one day dad met doctor Debola and recognized the kindness in him. He made the doctor my legal guidian and for a whole i was glad to have a home until his wives found out i had it and they became mean. "

" What did doctor do?"

" He sent me to a boarding school and always came for every open days and parents meeting. When i turned 18 i made Ada my surrogate, her only child and son was my best friend but he died before we graduated."


" So much death"

" Yea"

He walked away. Before i could see his tears.

Great story, but just thought to point out about Emeka's parents. Since the father knew he was he was positive why didn't he strive to make his viral load undetectable? Also there are drugs the mom could have taken (PrEP or so) to prevent getting infected.

Wow!am speechless..keep on with d good wroks..altho am late buh I'll stil wish u a happy birthday frm d deepest part of my heart..#Age with Grace.

Good points babe. There was a lot of misconception abt the virus in those days and the knowledge of it isn't as it is now. It was believed to be the end and no one would even want to speak to u because of their ignorance. Moreover the victims don't seek for help because of the shame and stigma associated with the virus in those days.

Yea, you are right. I just thank God for how far technology has come in the management of this disease. Now it doesn't have to be a death sentence anymore and those infected can go on to live long, good quality lives.

Please tell me ify later get herself cure; can't wait to read that

Yea thank God for technology. Wen i was a little girl a relative was rumored to have it. She locked herself in her house n only comes out at night. Even my grandma forbade me not to pass in front of her house. You can imagine, so painful

Eya. Can't imagine what she must have gone through.

I thought of it myself but did we have pre and post exposure prophylaxes as far back as twenty years ago when Emeka was born?

please permit me to say this...I love you...no lezzy though...just pure love from a greatful heart....

Ebere

I mumbled in my sleep and drew the thick duvet over my body. It was past 8.am no doubt but i felt so tired all i wanted to do was sleep. The ring tone of my phone resonated in the room, I grumbled and threw back the duvet, the call disconnected before i could reach for the phone. I fell back on my pillow my hair cascading all around me. I was too tired to look for my hair net the previous night. I heard a sound at the door.

KO! KO! KO !

" Oh God! Who is trying to ruin my beauty sleep?!" I moaned with fatigue and got out of bed. This better not be one of those Jehovah witness or GNLD people trying to market their drugs. I don't want to argue with anyone so early in the morning about the six classes of food and food supplement. God Forbids!

" Hold on! You want to break my door?!" i turned the door knob and my breath ceased.

" Hi. Can i come in?" He flashed me a killer smile which had my heartbeat racing for the hills.

" H.....hi....su...sure" i stammered.

What was he doing here? why now when i looked like something the cat won't even drag in! my hair was a mess, my face didn't look as radiant as that of the women in western movies when they wake up in the morning. My eyelids were puffy.

" Sorry for not informing you before barging in on you like this, but i doubted if you would pick my call".

" Have a seat please. Excuse me for a minute".

I walked slowly to my room and jumped into the shower, i flew out seconds later and hurriedly dressed in a casual top and jean. I considered wearing some make up but i didn't want him to think i was trying to look good for him, in the end i settled on lip gloss and walked back into the living room.

" Sorry for keeping you waiting"

" It's alright, i didn't know you sleep in" he accused.

" What?! i don't sleep in......I was just too..."

He laughed. " Don't get me wrong, i just thought you would be awake by 9 am''

I nodded.

" Am sorry for what happened at my house, i'm sure you must have overheard our conversation because you were gone by the time i came back downstairs".

I nodded. " The other lady......why was she so set against me?" i asked even though i knew the reason like the back of my hand.

'' Lola? I'm sorry you overheard us, believe me she's a very sweet lady and such a kind soul." Ayo said.

" So why was she so set against me?"

He rubbed his palms together, i noticed he did this whenever he was about to say something that made him uncomfortable. " She has cancer"

" Oh poor Lola" i cried out.

He cocked a brow. " You sound like you know her personally"

" Umh? no, no, I imagine it must be a really trying time for her" .

" Yes it is and she obviously need a nanny for Liz but she's insisting on taking care of her by herself. She has only few months to live so she want to spend the remaining time with her but it's telling on her health."

My heart took a deep dive and i almost collapsed to the floor in shock. " Liz? the red haired girl?"

" Yes, she's my niece. Mildred my wife, soon to be ex wife is a bad influence on the kids. She let them do whatever they please just to spite me" he sighed." Please i need you to come back"

" Lola is your brother' s wife? how about your brother and.....and....the little girl with pink hair?"

" My brother is late, a fatal accident when Liz was only a baby and Tess is Mildred' s niece."

" So only Monkey is your daughter? You mentioned something about your wife being your ex soon"

" Yea Constance is my daughter, Mildred and I are getting a divorce."

'' Sorry about the questions. "

" It's alright, will you come take care of the girls? "

" All three of them?"

" Yea for now but Tess will return to the states with Mildred."

This was my chance to get close to my child, how about Ify? how will she cope without me?

" You don't have to decide now, i know you are skeptical about working for me but please give it a thought. " He stood up like he could read my mind.

My tall, dark and handsome. " Why me?" I blurted out.

" Pardon? Oh! The girls likes you and they tagged you cool besides it would drive Mildred crazy."

I stood up and saw him to the door.

I heard the door knob click open as i was about entering my room. I wondered if Ayo W. Forgot to tell me something and walked back. She flew into my arms with a big smile.

" Ebere! I Have missed you so "

We both laughed. " Have missed you too. Hi Emeka!"

He grinned at me. " Hi yourself."


Ify let go of me and walked back to him, she pecked him on the cheek, he kissed her softly on the lips before taking his leave. I jumped up happily and fell back on the couch in a fit of bubbly happy laughter.

" What is wrong with this one?" Ify smirked at me before settling on the couch.

" My God! I' m glad you have been having fun in my absence"

She blushed to the root of her hair and held out her hand. The big stone on her finger glittered beautifully and i could swear i saw my reflection in it.

" Wow! babe! Come here"

I pulled her into my arms. " Mama is so happy for you"

" I am too."

'' How did it happen? how come you are so lucky! in less than two weeks that i have been away you have managed to hook another elegible bachelor! " i feigned jealousy and she laughed.

" Oh come off it!. How are you? "

I laughed happily. " Please let's talk about you biko."

" My mother told Juliet i had cancer, apparently she's ashamed of me".

" Oh Ify"

" No Ebere. Am fine, I have realized that she will never love me and she would never accept me unconditionally. Surprisingly it was just what i needed! I have stopped searching for Love where there's none."


I took hold of her hands. " If there's anyone on earth who deserves to be happy it's you girl! you don't need anyone to love you or accept you for who you are and it's their loss any way! "

She smiled. " Thank you. Ehen Who was that? "

" Who?"

" Come on! the tall dark guy! Ayo W.?"

" Yes. Pinky is not my child"

" What?"

" It's Liz! I couldn't even recognize my own child ! and oh! I ran into Dayo yesterday, more like i rammed my car into his!" I got up dramatically.

" Oh Ebere! What did Dayo say? did.....did you tell him?"

" He's married to the President' s cousin and the bas.tard was so cocky and full of himself! God! "

" Oh Sweetheart!"

" He gave me his card but i tore it into bits. I can't still believe his nerves! my God! he asked if i was still standing! you should have seen his face when i mentioned that i was pregnant when he left........he offered me money!"

" He's such a bas.tard!"

" Ayo wants me to come work for him."

" How about his wife?"

" He's getting a divorce and Lola is not his wife! he's married to the other Chimney pot i told you about. "

" You should go work for him, you will get to see Liz and forge a bond with her."

" Lola has Cancer, i don't think i want to upset her"

" What! She has had your daughter for ten good years! I don't think it would be selfish of you if you try to get closer to her now!"

" You think so? My God what a mess! ha!" I suddenly remembered something and i ran into my room excitedly while Ify looked on in bewilderment. I tentatively brought out the vials in my drawer and walked back to the living room.

" My cure?"

" Yes love. Your cure!" I kissed her bony cheek.

'' Thank you Ebere " she said so softly. " I don't know what i would do without you, how do i pay you back for your kindness "

" Pay me back by getting well, i have a wedding to plan too! my! am so excited! "

She laughed heartily. " How did you manage to cross the border with the contraband and how' s Kofi?"

" Kofi is bouncing. Am yet to call him tho, will give him a call later. Let me brew some tea, the oil is to be dropped into the boiled tea with a dropper and the green powder is to be taken with Soy milk. You shouldn't take cow milk hence forth it's bad for your health."

" Alright Mama."

" When this one finishes i will go back for more so we have to be careful with these ones, it should last up to a month. ''

" Oh Ebere!"

" You will be alright, you just wait and see! "

The supposed ' cure' was working. Within two days my energy level and appetite were back to normal and i had started to put on some weight. My T_ cells also increased and Emeka gave me some calories boasting drugs. It seems everyone was struggling to give me my life back, maybe it was time i start fighting for it too. My dad found a way to smuggle more of the' cure' for me through the help of Kofi' s daughter, Bella.

We lost some of our dear ones in a little over a month, Racheal had brain seizures, Kofi had CMV of the eye and one day Bella found him cold in bed. Christmas was just weeks away and i was prepared for my wedding.

" A penny for your thought " Ebere walked into my room. " Wow you look lovely"

She had caught me wearing the Italian wedding gown Chiboy had bought for me.

" You could have knocked!" I said, embarrassed to the side.

She laughed. " Really you look great!"

" I would like to wear this gown for my wedding "

" That would be fabulous! "

I scrunched my face. " But it was Chiboy that bought it!"

" All the more reason you should wear it!" Ebere said with a wicked laughter. " Imagine wearing the gown bought by another man on your wedding day! it would serve him right!" She gave me a high five.

" How's Liz"

She groaned. " The girl is something else! Lola is still not speaking to me. She doesn't even want me near her ' child' "

" How about Ayo? What' s brewing there?"

She fluttered her lashes. " Nothing. And i wouldn't want to have anything to do with him anyway?"

'' Why Ebere? . What are you hiding from me?"

'' His father is Senator Williams"

" What has that got to do with anything? "

She looked away.

" My God! You.......you....."

" Yea. He recognized me too and he throws subtle innuendos whenever I' m in the same place with him."

" Oh no! does he also live there? "

" No but he finds an excuse to come visit every day!"

" I think you should tell Ayo"

" Tell him what? that i f*ucked his dad? and his niece is actually my daughter?"

" Ebere i' m sorry.....but there has to be a way out!"

" The only way out is for me to scram out of there before they discover that i am a fraud".

***************************************************

After Ebere left for the restaurant because it was her off day at the Williams' s residence i drove down to Ikoyi. I could do some of the things i used to do before since i started using the miraculous ' cure'. I had wheedled the address from Ebere without giving myself away.

" Your madam is expecting me" i lied through clenched teeth.

" Madam no tell me anything o, Abeg wait make i go confirm from her"

" My friend do you want to lose your job? do you know who i am?"

" Sorry ma, na protocol "

" Protocol my foot! Open the damn gate!"

" Yes ma, sorry ma" the security was already sweating.

He pushed the gate open and i drove in. I marched down from my car like i had been to the house on several occasions, i slide open the glass door and entered the cool air conditioned living room. An ebony woman sat on the couch flipping through a fashion magazine, she was so skinny i could wrap her around my little finger. She looked up in apprehension.

" Who are you?" She demanded.

" Lola, my name is Ify and I' m here to see you" i could see recognition register on her face briefly before she gave me a blank hostile stare.

" Leave at once! i don't know who you are and I' m not interested in whatever you have to say to me."

" Why? What are you afraid of?"

" I will call the securities if you don't leave right away"

" Why are you acting so hostile? is it because you know who i am and why I' m here?" I sat down at this point. " She did you a favor Lola"

" Please leave" she pleaded.

" You would have lost your husband and probably your home too if Ebere hadn't helped you...... your husband would have married another woman if you had failed to give him a child if Ebere hadn't helped you ".

She covered her face with her palms in despair. " I offered to pay her!"

" It wasn't and isn't about the money Lola, Ebere was born to love others and give her all without expecting anything in return, don't you think the least you could do is give her a chance to get to know her child?"

" She's trying to steal Liz away from me! I can't lose her now!"

" Nobody is trying to take Liz away from you and if you think so it means you don't know Ebere at all!"

" She's not trying to steal Liz? then what is she doing here pretending to be a nanny?"

" She only want to know her"

" I don't want to lose my child! I have lost my husband and she's all i have left"

" Give her a chance, try to know her"

She managed a half hearted smile. " I see why Ebere loves you, because you have her back. I wish i have someone one to stand up for me too."

" Ebere would be there for you if only you can stop seeing her as the enemy. "

" Am dying, Liz is the only bright spot in my life now."

" You are giving up easily, fight, Lola fight it back"

" Am only being realistic "

" True. But you have already stopped living, start living once again, not just for your daughter but also for yourself." I said, standing up.

" I wish i have your courage and your strength. Thank you"

If only she knew how i was furiously paddling underneath the water to stay afloat. I let myself out while she sat immobile, deep in thought.
