Episode 37

Joseph felt his days coming to an end. with each day that passed by, he grew even more weaker. He had lost the strength to move around like he used to. He was angry at himself, he had become a burden to the one woman he loved the most. His death was near, he could smell it with each day that passed. This wasn't the life he had planned for. He had always wanted to father a child, and now  that christ had blessed him with a child, nature has said it was time for him to go. He cursed this advanced cancer. He cursed this sickness that had chosen to cut his life short. He hadn't bargained for such life, for such pain.
Karina was eight month pregnant already, she was heavy with his child. She was stressed more than ever. He could see the fear written all over her features.
Bella had come to Bayelsa to take care of Karina. She had been a great help to them both, because none of the maids could convince Karina to eat. Karina had been seriously skipping her meals which had made him worried. When Bella had come, she had worked her magic on Karina, had given her a heart to heart talk, that she wasn't only putting her life at risk but also her unborn child.
Karina came into the room, which interrupted his thoughts.
"How are you feeling" she said smiling softly and holding his hands.
"I am feeling great" he said weakly.
"please Joseph be sincere, how do you feel?" she asked yet again.
Joseph sighed "I feel like an engine running out of steam. It feels like i have just enough energy to do one or two small things, and then its gone. I get tired of being tired, it is so frustrating" he confessed and felt guilty immedietly after saying that because of the sadness he saw in her eyes.
She nodded sadly. She couldn't even encourage him by telling him he would get better because he knew she would be lying.

Karina was in the sitting room when she felt it. Something bad was going to happen. Bella had gone out to get Joseph's medications. Karina tried pushing herself up to her feet, on the second attempt she got up. She dragged her feet because her legs were swollen and they felt heavy. She needed to get to Joseph's room as fast as she could, her guts were telling her.
When her feet finally carried her into Joseph's room, she gave God a silent thank you but was immedietly driven to fear when she saw Joseph, he was on the ground, he must have tried calling for help but she hadn't heard.
"Oh Joseph!" she said rushing to him crying. She tried dragging him up and at the same time calling for help, but there was not enough strength to get him up. Was he even still breathing?, she had left her phone in the sitting room and Joseph's phone was no where in sight. Fear sliced through her heart. Soon after, she felt something else which was definitely not just fear. Her water just broke!

The place was beautiful, they had gone to a beach house, and the room had a nice view of the ocean. It was wonderful.
"Thank you so much Xavier, exactly what i needed. Will you play a song for me, like old times" Nathalie asked with a seductive smile. She wanted everything to be back to normal.
Xavier laughed "you look like a baby, let us go and eat sonething first. I am famished"
He took her hand and led her to the resturant, but were stoped midway by a screeching voice.
"Xavier is that you?" A slim model like girl walked towards them. Nathalie glared at the girl "way to go Xavier, you just had to spoil everything" she said under her breath. The girl came closer staring at Nathalie, or rather, checking out her competitor.
"I can not believe it Xavier, what a coincidence!" Miss horrible voice screeched. Nathalie stepped closer to Xavier, putting her hand around his waist, and the so called mystery girl got the hint but did not step back.
"Hello, i am Nathalie, Xavier's fiancee " Nathalie said,throwing miss horrible voice a victory smile.
"Xavier you never told me that you had a girlfriend, or rather fiancee when we met" miss horrible voice said with a smirk.
Xavier's body tensed and Nathalie dropped her arm from his waist and scowled at the girl. "You are?" Nathalie asked misd horrible voice with a strict tone.
Miss horrible voice smiled, knowing that she had gotten a reaction "Sofia dearie" she said, drawling her voice.
"Okay Sofia, can you do me a favour and get lost!" Nathalie said partially screaming the last word and walking away from them.
She had gone back to the beach house without listening to Xavier's explanation. She had locked herself inside a room bawling her eyes out. He didnt care, she thought.
He was a flirt. "How could he?" She pondered.
She remembered the first time he had asked her out, she had been on the verge of screaming out of happiness. She had been crushing on him for five years while she had watched him date her friends. She had been the different one out of them all , quiet, composed, reserved and shy. She had been twenty three when he had asked her out, he had been crushing on her too, before he had finally grown the guts to   ask her out.
They had won best couples thrice in the university. At that time she had never doubted his love for her, not even for once. His family loved her, and as for the relationship between her parents and him, ditto.
Nathalie sniffed, sinking to the ground and resting her jaw on her knees. She was pathetic now, what was stoping him? His parents were rich, he could settle down into marriage with their help, but he chose the latter. He wanted to be independent.
"Damn you Xavier, why dont you just marry me, what is holding you back, Xavier what?" She asked no one in particular.
"Or am i not good enough for him?" She asked aloud. She was definitely going gaga
