Chapter 4
Hints


John sat. She shifted back. The clock ticked on. The baby, Segun, cried into the room. Biola’s mind was made up about getting her child back. The two of them stared into the space. Then they shifted gazes and stared at themselves. She had dropped Lily at a daycare centre before heading for John's house that morning. She didn't mind caring for two children; she still had to get her baby back.
'Why now?' John said.
She swallowed. Her eyes darted towards the door. The curtain danced in the background. Her courage waned. Despite the fact she loved Kemi and her bestfriend, John, she couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes pinched her. Tears welled from them. And her face became wet.

' I can't stand it anymore. My breast yearn for the suck of a baby', she said.
He moved nearer. 'You can't do this to us. You'll kill her. You'll send her to an early grave'.
His voice, though not above whisper, came to her like a chainsaw, tearing every fibre in her.
'I want to come out with the truth. This lie… These… It’s killing me. Let me tell already and face the consequence. Let her know the baby is not her own', Biola blurted out. Her confidence returned.
John looked at the door that led to their room and went on his knees.
'Biola, if for no reason, please, remember the love I have for you'.
'No.'
'Please, I can't lose the two of you. I can't watch her also leave because of our deception'.
Tears poured down Biola's face. The air was cold. She must get her baby back. The only thing on her mind was her baby. She wiped the tears off her face.
'See... tell her. Tell her we exchanged her dead baby with my living one'.
'What dead baby?' Kemi said as she entered the room. 'Why are you kneeling?'
John turned to his wife and bared his teeth. 'We were only playing'.
Biola swallowed hard and nodded as she felt her heart bled. Tears were ready to flood her face. The baby's powder drifted into her nose. So, she coughed. 'We were just playing'.
But the feeling of foregoing this opportunity made her shudder. As if on fire, Biola rose. Everything was blurry. Her bloodstreams were on fire. She needed an outlet to help her tears escape. Her heart beat was faster than any air.
She brushed past Kemi. Her frail feature shouldn't have done so but it brushed Kemi's fat body anyway.
'What's wrong with you?' Kemi's voice trailed after her as she ran to the toilet. She held her breathe.
When she was sure the door was locked, she cried. As much as she tried not to make any noise, she groaned aloud.
'Biola', Kemi shouted from outside. She banged the door. 'What's wrong with you?'
She whimpered. Her lips trembled. Tears dripped down her face.
'Biola. Biola are you deaf? Can't you talk?' Kemi shouted and banged the door.
Biola shook her head.
'Leave her.' John said in a low tone.
'Don't tell me to leave her. Don't tell me to leave her at all.'
Biola held the basin. She just couldn't lose in two ways.
'Do you want people to say I'm a bad wife'.
'Go. I'll resolve it. She had a little issue with Uche'.
'But you people were playing just now'.
'Ehn... '.
Kemi hissed. 'Because the two of you are best friend doesn't mean others shouldn't know what's happening to you. We also care for you'.
She heard Kemi slippers slap the ground as she trotted off.
Biola held her tongue. Kemi had the man she ever loved and she also had her baby.
'Okay... 'She said, sniffing. 'But I have a little problem and I don't want...'
'You don't want her...' John said, and eyed the door. She nodded. 'Okay. Let's go to my car'.
Alright!’
John turned towards the door. 'Dear, we're coming; I'll want to show Biola something'.
'Ok! Please, remember to buy the Pampers'.
Biola moved ahead of John as she remembered all her life’s event and all the lovely days with Joy. She remembered how she relegated him to the friendzone, despite the glaring love they had for each other. He gave her everything- his time, money and life- but she just couldn't bring herself to watch herself love him. He was more than a friend to her. He was her brother.
She remembered things vividly, especially when he used an ungodly means to make her his own, when she could have embraced his love, how he fathered her first child, this child, Segun.

Firstly, you were lucky I made a mistake of removing your post, thinking it was an advert for something else. Then, your message to me made me go through the post and I discovered you were a member of the group created for Writers. which I'm also a member of.

I've gone through the chats and discovered you were to blame. As a friend of Akin Alabi, you should understand deadlines and order. Could you have made 1.5 Million from a job, as you claimed, if you stop your hand at dying minute?

You should have asked for verification before making him believe you've started.
Even if you couldn't meet up to ask for time. What you did there, claiming writing was spiritual, just shows how your spirit needs flogging. Any spirit that refuses to allow you do the right thing is demonic.
You're in the wrong here. And I'll so like the world to judge between you and the client, so I'm moving this to Literature section and sticking it. There, you can make your case.
Luckily, Winkmart has apportioned the blame of the other party to him for not replying. But I still support your buyer. Why will you bring up such claim on a deadline?

queenitee:
Divepen1 I've been trying to send you a mail without success *sad face* Where have you been?

You should have sent a Pm through Nairaland....


Don't mind me. I've been crazily busy. But I'll continue today or tomorrow.

Haro makes sense. My issue is surfing through their list per day has made me send their messages to Spam corner. But seeing this now, I'll check them out again.

proof or something

TemiGURL:
