CHAPTER 12 "maaaamaaaa........, mamaaaa.... I'm finished oooo, where will i start from now, who will i run to,... I cant face my husband's family,..... The only person that would've saved me is in coma,... My husband doesnt want to see me...... "i sobbed over the phone as i talked to my mother. I explained all the events that happened to my mother. There was silence,.... I checked my phone to see if my mother was still there " Hello, hello, mama, are you there? " She then spoke softly,...... She was speaking as someone mourning a dear one " Amaka nwa m, you did the greatest mistake of your life,.... I warned you about discussing your family issues with strangers,.... I warned you about involving a third party in your family issue,..... You couldn't even confide in me your mother,..... Amaka, this your life of thinking you can handle things on your own will destroy your home.... You have killed me.... What are you going to do now,.......? " " Mama, if i knew what i would do, i wouldn't have called you.... Pls i know i made a big mistake... I cant take the blame anymore,.... All i need now is solutions,.... Not blames!!!!, " I didn't know when i started shouting over the phone. " You still have the mouth to shout after everything you did,...... I don't have strength to start arguing with you,.... Just go back to your aunty Adanna and find solution to your problem,..... You always call me when things are out of control.,...... If you're not my daughter, i would've said your mother didn't bring you up well,...... After all i taught you.... You went to Lagos and threw everything to the wind..... " She cut the phone " God, pls save me!!!!!!! " " Madam take it easy oooooo,..... I'm done for the day,.... We've gone round Lagos,i think we're done for today "the taxi driver said " I'm sorry, it wasn't of my own making, pls how much is your fare,...... "you've wasted my day, but because of your condition just give me 10k,, " I didn't argue on the price,... I gave him the money,.... He brought out my luggage, and left, i stood there for 20minutes calling my mother but she refused picking my calls,........ I heaved a sign and picked my bags,...... I looked up and saw that i was standing in front of a church,....... I made my way into the church building, i ran to the altar, knelt down and cried my eyes out,...... I poured my heart to God........ I felt at home after that..... I didn't know when i slept off,......... *******,, "Sister, pls get up, it's late,..." I opened my eyes lazily An Angelic voice woke me up,....i looked up and saw a rev. Sister standing before me "Go home dear, the Lord has heard your cries,...... " I held her clothes " I dont have a home!,,,...... "i'm homeless,....... My husband doesn't need me, my mother has disowned me too" i cried helplessly "Calm down my child,..... Don't speak of such......." I told her how i came to the church...... "You can stay with us until you sort yourself out,.... " " Thank you so much sister, God will bless you " She helped me with my luggage and took me to the parish priest,.... She explained my ordeal to him, and he granted me permission to stay with them,....... She then took me to their apartment ........ Their apartment was well furnished, there were three rev. Sisters and a nun living in the four bedroom flat,.... They all welcomed me,.... Sister took me to her room and made me comfortable,....... I took my time to explain all that has been happening to me to the rev. Sister,...... I told her about my encounter with aunty Amanda, and the holy water. "My daughter,.... God loves you so much,..... You would've killed your mother in law,......... And your life would've been ruined because you would have ended up in jail,..... You need to pray without seizing,... That family needs you,.... Dont abandon them,... Your husband will still forgive you, it might take time,.... All you need is patience,....... " She prayed for me, after that i bathed and ate, we went foee their evening prayer before we slept,........... My phone's ringing tone woke me up,...... I checked the caller Id, it was my mother..... I was really over joyed.... I picked the call " Mama, pls i'm sorry for shouting at you over the phone,..... Pls forgive me,.... " " It's ok my daughter,..... Where're you right now,...?, " " I'm in a church, i'm squatting with a rev. Sister........ I'll be going to school from here, till things are sorted out,.... I'll continue praying,... My God will fight for me,...... " " This is good,.. I need to thank her ooo, pls just remain steadfast in your prayers,....but, i advice you go back to your husband,.... Beg him for forgiveness,...... You cant run away from your home..... I'll be calling you from time to time,.... If things are out of control , then i'll come to Lagos,... I cant be here in the village while my daughter is suffering,.... Take care of your aunty for me..... I'll continue praying for everyone " " Thank you mama, i'm happy now,i'll give my husband time to calm down before going back to him,,,,,thanks for your advise, take care of yourself, bye " I slept off,.... But sleep was far away from me, i started thinking of how to find out the truth about aunty Adanna,... I need to find her...... I decided to visit her tomorrow,... I need to talk to her neighbours,... I will visit mummy first before going to her residence. Thank God it was morning, we went for our morning devotion, after that i bathed and left, I went to the ATM first, to withdraw some cash,.... I was running out of cash...i noticed Nelson has transfered some cash to me...... Then i headed to the hospital,...... When i got there, i saw daddy and Nelson arguing about something, Chy was standing, looking confused,....... They were moving towards the gate,... I hid at the back of a black jeep "Nelson you made a big mistake,.... You should've allowed her explain herself,....just Because of what the detective said, you threw her out of your house,..... Now where's she?,...... We've been searching for her since last night to no avail, what will i tell her mother? "daddy lamented " Daddy i was hurt, i trusted her,.. Why would she keep secrets from me?, i thought she would be with Chy,....... I was shocked when i called Chy this morning, and asked after her,.... She told me she hasn't seen Amaka since the last time we visited,.." "just pray nothing happens to that girl,... Call her mother and know if she's in the village" daddy said "I cant call her mother ooo,... And i know Amaka too well,.... School will resume next week and she wont abandon school for anything,.... She's in Lagos,... But i cant figure out where she would be" "Have you tried her number?," Chy asked "so you think i havent called her, when i woke up this morning,..... I remembered that today is bb the last day of the month,.... I transferred her monthly allowance into her account,....... I called her to check on her thinking she was with you,. ... But her phone has been switched off since morning" I then remembered i forgot to charge my phone before leaving the house, i checked my bag for the phone, it wasnt there,....... I must have forgotten it on the table,........... "You've seen where your stubbornness has landed us,... We are battling with your mother's health, now this,..." daddy lamented "I never meant those words i told her, i just wanted to scare her,..... I wanted to teach her a lesson,........." "But you went too far,!, Chy shouted at him I watched daddy and Nelson drive out, Chy went back inside the hospital,.... I waited for hours before she left..... I sneaked into the private room to see mummy,...... I cried my eyes out,........ I prayed for her...... This is a family that loves me to a fault,.. Chy still loves me, she doesn't feel betrayed about what i did,..... My husband was only pretending to be angry with me........ But i couldn't trust them,.... I kept things away from...... I wasnt ready to face them,..... I left the hospital and forgot going to aunty Adanna's house, as i had planned,... I took a taxi home,.... *********i met the rev. Sister praying, i changed my clothes and joined her, after the prayer she served me food,.... She prepared a delicious jellof rice with fried beef and plantain,.... I was enjoying my food when she brought out my phone and handed it to me "I saw your phone on the table after you left, i charged it, it turned on on its own, then your husband kept on calling, i didnt pick at first but when the call became tensed i picked it,...... I'm sorry but the spirit of God led me to give him this address, he's on his way here,..... " My throat choked immediately,...... " I'm sorry, "she offered me water to drink " Running away from your home wont help, you need your family, they need you too,.... You're blessed to be in that family,.... Everyone loves you unconditionally........... " She was still talking when the door bell rang,.......i closed my eyes and prayed it shouldn't be Nelson,.... I wasn't ready to face any of his family member. Sister went to answer the door. 6 Likes |

CONTINUATION , ******* "The parish priest invited us to his office" the rev. Sister informed me We went to the parish priest's office and saw Nelson discussing with him,..... My heart skipped when i saw him,.... "My daughter, your husband is here to take you home,... " Nelson didn't bother looking at my face,.... " pls my dear child of God, no matter what the situation is, pls forgive your wife,....... Allow peace to reign in your home,....... May the peace of the Lord be with you and your family,....." the priest said with the sign of the cross We chorused "Amen" "Don't forget to always visit us, anytime there's need," I hugged the rev. Sister I went to the room, packed my things and we left. *****He ignored me throughout the night,... I tried talking to him but he wouldn't want to hear me talk,...... He spends most of his time with his office work,... He doesn't eat my food also,..... I didn't relent in my prayers,.. I spend most of my time in the church and hospital,... My mother calls everyday to know how things are,... I don't fail in giving her details of what has been happening..... I visited the family house to see Chy and Chizzy,... I met them in their room,..... I've been avoiding them since i returned, but i decided to visit them and explain everything to them. . "Chy, it's been awhile,... How're you doing?," "Are you kidding me,...... So you finally decided to talk to me,... I thought you will never talk to me again,......".. She continued folding her clothes, Chizzy excused herself and left the room, i knew she was angry,..... " Chy, pls, i know how angry you are right now,.... You have every right to be angry,.. But the truth is that i never knew about Nelson's paternity,..... I dont know anything about the murder,..... Pls listen to me,.... I'll tell you how i met aunty Adanna" "So you want to tell me everything now,........ There's no point talking to me..... My brother doesnt want to see mummy again, he only visits the hospital because he wants mummy to answer his questions,...... Daddy is only pretending to be happy,.... He tells us everything is ok but he's suffering within him,..... The family has shattered "she started weeping " I'm so sorry, i know i was wrong, just give me two minutes, i'll tell you everything " " Ok, i'm all ears " I took my time to tell her how i met aunty Amanda,the poison,, the Secretary 's death, the pastor, the water, the blackmail, and how i met them at home with mummy......... " So Lizzy's mother has been the one tormenting us,...She wanted mummy to marry that prostitute of a daughter...., and Mummy has been giving them money,..... And she tried to poison mummy and you,.... She even killed the poor secretary........ Ohhhhhhhh...... This woman must rot in jail,.... God will punish her and her daughter,.........., what i dont understand is how she found out that daddy isn't Nelson's biological father, and that mummy killed Nelson's father.......... " " This is what we all dont understand, only mummy has the answer to that question " Chy's phone rang, it was the doctor calling, " Hello doc " " pls rush to the hospital right now, there's a new development " " I think mummy is in trouble, pls let's go" We all rushed downstairs, into Chy's car and zoomed off to the hospital. 6 Likes |

*******Daddy was already in the hospital when we got there,.. We all went in, to see the doctor,.... "I have good news for everyone,... Your mother has regained consciousness,....... She's now out of danger,.... " "We all jubilated,.... We asked the doctor to take us to her,.... " There's still something important,.... Her heart is failing slowly,..... Dont give her news that will get her over excited or sad,..... Dont push her to say things she doesn't want to talk about ,... You need to take proper care of her,...... She must be coming weekly for her check ups,......... " He took us to mummy Mummy was awake when we entered, " Oh my sweethearts," she opened her hands wide to receive us into her arms,......" " I'm sorry for putting you through all alot,......"she hugged us all. Daddy hugged her too, he was thankful, "I must tell you, this is a miracle,.... We've lost hope of reviving her,......." the doctor said Mummy searched around as if she was looking for someone, "Where's Nelson,...... " " He's in an important meeting "daddy lied " Meeting more important than me?, " " Not that, i begged him to represent me, he was supposed to be here" "Can i speak to him on phone,? " " He's in a meeting and cant talk" "Ok, i give up, where's Kingsley, or can't talk to him too?" "He's still in school, you can call his Guardian " " Nooo,.... I dont want to disturb my son,.... How long have i been here "? " 4days"i replied her "Where's my phone" "It's been switched off, since you came here"daddy replied her "Pls get it for me,.... I need to make an important call" "Mummy don't you think you need some rest, you've been talking since we entered here,..... You're still not strong enough for all these...... Leave your phone for now,..... Your health first,...... What if you had died,..... Would you be talking about phone? "Chy said bluntly " God forbid nothing will happen to mummy,.... But mum Chy is right,... Forget your phone for now,.... Rest a little bit,... Ok? "i added " You now treat me like a kid,... No problem,... I accept,... "she yawned lazily " Oh God, i'm so hungry, you girls should get me something to eat and quit dictating my do's and don't 's, " We went to the cafeteria and bought something for her to eat,...... She ate the food hungrily,...and slept off. We stayed for sometime watching her sleep before we went home, Chy would be back in the morning with her food,.. I' ve called my husband severally but he didnt pick, i also sent him a text informing him about mummy, begging him to come and meet us in the hospital. I returned home and met my husband drinking .... I greeted him and went upstairs,.... He entered the room and closed the door,.. "Where're you coming from at this time of the night,...... Do you now have a boyfriend?,...... You cant be with a bastard,,,.. You hardly stay at home this past days,... You claim to always be in the hospital " " Nelson pls stop this,...... Dont pretend as if you didnt see my missed calls or my text, and what bastard are you talking about,...... You should be thankful to God that mummy has regained consciousness,....... You're here drinking yourself to stupor,...... And pls dont accuse me of infidelity,...... " " Yes, i'm happy she's alive, cant you see i'm celebrating,?,...... "he danced round a little " Now, she can tell who my biological father is and why she killed him....... I think i know why,..... She wanted to marry a rich man,..... My father would have exposed their affair to her husband, so she killed him for her to marry Chief,..... " " pls stop!!!!!!,, i don't know who has been feeding you with all these lies,..... Pls stop!!!, give mummy sometime, she'll tell us the truth,... Those people are only blackmailing her,....... " He didn't allow me to finish before handing his phone to me,. I went through the phone and found out that they have been blackmailing him emotionally, they're trying to make him believe their own story,........ " This is not true,...... Baby.... Mummy can never do such a thing,......, pls dont push her to say what she doesn't want to talk about, the doctor said her heart is weakening slowly,pls give her sometime "i begged him " So you trust her this much,...... But you couldn't trust me,.... You kept all these away from me.... You kept me in the dark,...... Is this my punishment for treating you bad when i first met you....... " That was a great opportunity for me to explain myself,....... I told him the day i met aunty Adanna, that was the day he took me to the salon,...... I told him how i trusted and confided in her, the holy water saga,her sudden disappearance and how i met them at home with mummy,....... "Baby mummy has suffered alot in their hands for many years,........ She has been dancing to their tune,.....Lizzy and her mother are on a revenge mission,..... Mummy needs us now,..... Baby pls calm down and stop thinking about yourself, think about other people,.... If you're doubting mummy, you can simply go for a DNA test, " " I don't need a DNA test, i need mummy to tell me the truth,........... He started crying,........ I went and hugged him tight, "Baby, i'm sorry for hurting for you, i love you so much,. I promise never to keep secrets from you," i begged him He was calm,..... He hugged me back and kissed me deeply,......." I missed you baby, and i love you so much that i cant even be angry with you for long, "he confessed..... He kissed me more then continued "Baby dont ever keep things away from me,.... I'm really sorry if i hurt with my actions,......, i'll visit mum tomorrow ". I hugged him and begged him to forgive me for not confiding in him,........we made up,..... I was so happy He had a fresh bath, i prepared dinner and we ate. I woke up the next morning and prepared mummy's favorite dish, i packed her food neatly in a flask. My husband was already dressed up when i went to wake him up,....... He would go to the office from the hospital,...... I bathed and dressed up,..... We ate our breakfast and left for the hospital. 7 Likes |
