CHAPTER FIVE

She pattered across the mini corridor adjoining the sitting room and froze at sudden sight of him.
Relief washed over her momentarily making her forget the four meetings she had been in back to back, how her bones were crying, how she drove back home bare footed and almost walked into her home same way.
He lay fast asleep on the four-seater sectional white and purple sofa looking so innocent, adorable and peaceful like a baby. Even today, she couldn’t help the thought of what their children would look like, as she always did every time she watched him sleep and hoped they looked more like her husband.
She could have reached out, kissed, embraced him and even shed tears of joy coupled with relief but the anger bubbling within her took the upper hand. How could he be asleep so peacefully when all she had done was worry over him? Her forehead creased and her heart beats quickened.
Casting her handbag on the sofa and pulling off her shoes, she marched decisively in her skirt suit to the kitchen.
She returned with the sharpest among her collection of knives in right hand, her eyes fierce, and blood vehemently coursing through her veins with same brisk steps she had left with. Her anger fueled at his still-sleeping form.
Without pausing to think, she lowered the sharp and cold edge of the knife to his neck and slit.
Scrambling off the sofa at the sharp pain, sleep flew far from him and his eyes widened at the blood spurting from his neck.
“Jesus…Jesus ” He muttered after he grabbed his neck just for his palm to be soiled with blood. When she advanced him once more like who was possessed with an evil spirit, he used his left arm to bare the attack.
The knife fell off her hand to the rug soundless at the sight of so much blood. Panic surged through her; she made to run upstairs but barely halfway, ran back down, picked her bag and fled barefooted.
***
Gnashing teeth in pain, he mustered strength, pulled off his T-shirt and wrapped it around his neck. Bent over, he placed his bleeding arm on his thigh and applied pressure. With shaky right palm, he reached for phone which was partially stained with drops of blood and hit speed dial button.
“Eni…” He began breathless with blur vision. “Come now. Lillian…stab…stab…” The phone slipped off his hand as he laid sprawled, pain numbing his senses. His right palm applying pressure on the already soaked T-shirt with his eyes closed and breaths laboured.

Don't leave without commenting.
