THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 27 . The attachments kept Cathy busy, she was enjoying the experience. It was awkward at first, attending to the women in the maternity ward but slowly she begun to get used. She became quet close with one of the clinical officers Mr Leon at the hospital. “Am sure everyone tells you how beautiful you are” he had told her “Oh yes, I hear that everywhere” she said and he laughed at her humor Cathy was finding more comfort in the company of Jane and Alfred. She visited them every weekend and Jane in turn passed through her house whenever she could. Her pregnancy was becoming very heavy and her entire body structure changed. Almost every part of her body had swelled up. Her nose had become so big Every time Alfred saw Cathy, who had become a frequent visitor, he silently cursed the day he had met Jane at the bar. “I dont like your friendship with Cathy, ” he said in the night “Why? ” asked Jane She was very much aware that Alfred did not approve of their friendship “She is like a wounded buffalo, you never know what her next move would be” he said “Oh maybe our closeness scares you because now you can’t sneak out to her, you stand no chance at all with her and just for your knowledge, she is now seeing a clinical officer” “What?! I mean well thats good for her” he said “Oh yes, very good for her, especially that they are about to get married” she said Alfred turned the other side. He had no intentions of cheating on Jane but Cathy was his girlfriend, how could she move on just like that? For some reason he had hoped that he would be with Cathy again but with the coming marriage, he would stand no chance. He was stuck with Jane , who had become so big and looked so old in her pregnancy attire. The following day Cathy was coming out of the martenity ward when she bumped into the clinical officer. They had a quick conversation , he just asked to have dinner with her. They met in the evening and Cathy wore her favourite blue long dress Mr Leon could not help smilling immediately he saw her enter the restaraunt. “You look amazing” he complimented “Thank you” she answered They ordered for food and held a conversation Then he confessed his love for her. It somehow caught Cathy unaware. She knew that he liked her but thats all, she didn’t expect a proposal, besides she always thought he was married “No am not married but I want to marry, guess I was waiting for you” he had told her Cathy felt absolutely nothing for him but she promised to think about it. However she wanted to be more careful with the person she was going to be dating, she didn’t want history to repeat itself in another form. She dug a bit digger and discovered that Mr Leon was married with a kid. She quickly accepted his proposal and he was very happy, however he refused to take her to his house when she had insisted on seeing his house. He said his father was home and it would be disrespectful to take her there. On her own, Cathy found his address and decided to visit him on a weekend. She reached his house and knocked and the door was opened by a beautiful young Lady, almost her age. “Hello” she greeted “Hai” answered Cathy. “I m looking for Mrs Leon” “I am Mrs Leon” she answered She had not expected her to be so young and beautiful. “Alright, I am Cathy and I would like to talk to you concerning your husband” she said. “Is he in? ” “Yes please come in” The house was beautifully furnished inside. She was directed where to sit and Mrs Leon went to call her husband. He froze when he saw Cathy “Miss Catherine, how are you doing? ” he said formally “Fine sir, I have come to visit you” she said crossing her legs. “Well ahh thats great, ahh well, honey get the visitor something to drink” he said trying to get rid of her presence so that he could quickly find out Cathy’s intentions. “Oh no, am not thirst” said Cathy quickly knowing his intentions. Mrs Leon smiled because she didn’t want to miss a bit of the event. “Ahh Mr Leon, so you are married? ” said Cathy “Hmmm yes, I was going to tell you that” he answered indistinctly. “Anyways I didn’t come for you, I have come to your wife to let her know the kind of cheat she is married to” And thats how she spilt the beans. She told her how her husband was proposing to her and promising her marriage. After saying all that she wanted to , she said her goodbyes and left. Mrs Leon had not said a word, neither did Mr Leon “Foolish man, you think am a fool to fall into your filthy hands” she said to herself as she left the yard She was happy that she had set Mr Leon’s house on fire, that was going to teach him a lesson. Foolish man. “I will do this to every man who comes to me. Married or dating” The following day which was sunday, Cathy was woken up by a call from Alfred. “Why are you calling me so early in the morning? ” she asked sleepily “Its Jane, I think its time” he said with so much panick in his voice. “Alright calm down, I ll be there just now” Jane had not invited any of her family member to nurse her and her pregnancy, Cathy had assured her that she would take very good care of her till she gave birth and she had kept her word. She had been very helpful to them. Being an upcoming midwife, Cathy had given Jane all the Dos and Don’ts of a pregnant woman. One of them was not to take any traditional roots or leaves or any herbs and Thats why she didn’t ask her mother to stay with her Jane just looked for a maid to be doing her chores. Cathy packed a few things, changed into uniform and started off. “Now is the time” she kept telling herself. What a coincidence, she had wished that Jane should deliver on a weekend when most workers would not be at work. The time to take the move was finally at hand. When the idea first crossed her mind, she had laughed at herself for having such an imaginative brain. It had seemed so impossible and now it was clear, crystal clear. She went to Alfred’s house and they booked a taxi to take them to the hoosital. Cathy’s heart started thumping, she was wondering whether to carry on with the plan or not “Foolish Cathy, this is the only opportunity you have, how can you forget so fast? ” a voice in her head rebuked her “It must have been you, its you who was supposed to be carrying his pregnancy” she thought as she wheeled Jane to the maternity ward. .

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 28 . Jane was wheeled into the labour ward, Alfred wanted to follow but he was stopped by the nurse on duty, “Cathy attend to her please, its good you are here in uniform, more emergencies today” Well that was her prayer, to be the one to help Jane deliver. “No problem sister” she responded “You will be fine sweetheart” Cathy told Jane whose groanings were becoming louder The martenity ward was almost empty, Jane was the only one in labour. Thats not what Cathy had hoped for, it was obvious that her plan wouldn’t work, she knew it wouldn’t because it was left to chance, she had very little to no chance of it being successful. She put her on the bed with the help of a cleaner. She checked to know how far the baby was, and it was very near. She started panicking, her plan wouldn’t go anywhere if the ward was that empty. Soon the contractions became very intense and Cathy kept encouraging her to push harder. Jane was doing it with might and she was slowly beginning to lose strength. As the baby was almost coming out, another woman was wheeled in. Cathy abandoned Jane to take a glance at the woman and check how long she was from giving birth. The baby was still far. She went back to Jane who now had given the last shot before giving up. And behold the little baby girl was delivered. Cathy quickly removed the gloves she was wearing and replaced them with new ones. She clamped the umbilical cord and cut it, she wiped the baby with a towel, removing the mucus from its mouth and nose. The girl gave a shrill cry and she quickly gave it to Jane, to bond, but she had lost conscious. Thinking quickly Cathy held the baby to leave the ward with it but the other woman in labour called out to her. She also had delivered without any help or much struggle. And earlier and faster than Cathy had expected . “I ll be back just now”, said Cathy She took Jane’s baby to the oxygen machine in the incubator to ease the breathing process as they did with every newly born. She rushed back to the labour ward which was a few metres away. She did to the other woman’s child as she had with Jane’s. She got the baby and behold it was a boy ” Oh its such a lovely baby girl” Cathy lied as she placed it on the mother’s chest. The mother held her child tightly with tears in her eyes. Cathy wondered how many children she already had and why she would be crying so much, seeing how easy it was for her to deliver, Cathy concluded that she must have had a chain of children. Cathy got the child from its mother and took it also to the oxygen machine. It was her show. She had lied about the child being a girl so that her plan could be carried out. Finally her plan was back to life. She put the second child in the incubator as well and left . She went outside and came back after about 20 minutes. She entered the labour ward and both Jane and the other woman were holding their babies. She smiled, as she walked majestically to where Jane was , with Alfred looking admirably at the baby. “Wow congrats my dear on being a mother” said Cathy with a smile. “Its a boy” Jane said excitedly “Eew Alfred Junior” exclaimed Cathy “Can you imagine I didn’t know what sex my baby was, when the nurses came with the children, that woman in the corner was able to remember that her child was a girl, if they were both of the same sex, we would have exchanged the babies unknowingly. ” said Jane “Oh yeah, I forgot to put the name tags when taking them to the oxygen concentrator ” said Cathy, “I took it for granted that they were of different sexes” “Oh so really this is my baby? ” said Jane trying to sound cheerful but her voice was still weak. “Yes” said Cathy assuringly. She went to the other woman’s bed to congratulate her again. She looked at her child with so much love Cathy felt her heart wallowing in pain, knowing that the child was not hers, “She is so cute” she said If only there was a way of exchanging babies without involving other innocent parents. “We have a chain of boys, me and my husbands have been wishing for a girl” explained the woman with a weary smile. Maybe it was for the better. Thought Cathy Jane was discharged the following day and her relatives as well as Alfred’s relatives came to visit. They were so happy and they brought different types of gifts. It annoyed Cathy that people were happy about the newly born, especially that he was a boy. After two months, the baby had grown into a chubby smiley boy. Everyone who saw him wanted to hold him, they had named him Simon, like Simon Peter. However the child had no resemblance to Jane or Alfred but it didn’t bother a lot of people, even Jane was not bothered but Alfred was. On a tuesday evening when Cathy passed through Alfred’s house to check on the baby, she was told that Jane was not around. She had gone to buy food for the baby. But Alfred was around It was a great opportunity for Cathy. She was really enjoying everything “So are you excited about the little boy? ” asked Cathy “Ofcouse you know I am, I love my boy so much” “And the mother? ” said Cathy “Cathy this is not about the mother, its about Simon. ” “But it should have been me, I should have been the mother, you promised it would be me, ” she burst, her emotions overidding her control. “Oh my gosh Cathy, do you still love me? ” “How was I going to unlove you, the heart has failed to accept defeat, I still love you the way I loved you when you saved me from that crazy man” Alfred moved closer and put his arm around her waist. “Am sorry baby, I should have been more aware of how you felt, you know I love you and I didn’t marry Jane out of love but out of responsibility. ” “Well then, divorce her and then we keep the child” she suggested “What? You know I can’t do that, I can only take custody of the child when he will be seven, and now I can’t stay away from him, I want to be a good father” “So you won’t be divorcing her? ” “I will, but not now, the child has to grow” “He is not even your child” she said angrily “What? What did you just say? ” asked Alfred in a shaky voice “The child is not yours, are you blind, can’t you see that he doest even resemble you? ” He removed his hand from her back. What she had just said was true, there was no resemblance whatsoever. “You are joking, Simon is my son and nothing will change it. We all dont have to resemble our parents for us to be their children. ” “You are deceiving yourself and keeping another man’s son” “He is my son, you better take your leave, its late” “Go for a blood test Alfred and you ll know the truth” she said as she was standing up. Everything was happening so perfectly. She went back home very happy. She was letting them have a small bite of the poison they had fed her. Alfred sat startled in the sofa wondering whether or not to go for blood test or DNA test. But why would Jane do such a thing? Cathy sat on the bed and gave a sigh of relief, shared pain is better than pain bottled up in the heart, for its like cancer. She was happy she was sharing her pain with the sources of pain. .

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 29 . Soon Jane came back from the market where she went shopping with her mother “How was the day? ” she greeted Alfred “Fine” he answered , turning his eyes to the television “Anything the matter? ” “No” he replied. “May I hold the baby” he told her “Umm he is sleeping” she answered It wasn’t typical of him to ask to hold the baby, he loved his son so much but he never bothered holding him. Jane went to the bedroom and lay the boy in his cradle. She went to the kitchen and busied herself preparing supper. Alfred stood from the sofa and went to the bedroom, he knelt down to take a closer look at the boy, there was absolutely no resemblance, how had Cathy noticed that so quickly. “Babies dont resemble anyone until they are about a year old” he told himself The entire evening he was in a mood, battling within himself whether to go for DNA or just leave it, but what if it turned out that really the baby was not his? It would do more harm, he convinced himself. The following day Cathy asked Alfred to meet her from her house. Three hours before the expected time, Cathy begun preparing herself, she had already swept the house and arranged the bed and the clothes. She wore a purple dress, which was not among her favourites but which people told her made her look extremely pretty. Despite not being short, it was tight, it shaped her curves and exposed the cleavage. That was the more reason she didn’t like it, her favourites were knee level flaired dresses. At 4 pm there was a knock at the door. She walked slowly to the door, her heart was beating very fast, she was going to recover that which she had lost. She opened the door and smiled. Alfred looked at her and smiled back, her face was so smooth, there was no need to use foundation or concealer to hide pimples or dark spots. His eyes involuntarily landed on the cleavage , the nipples were very visible in the dress, She had deliberately neglected wearing a bra. “Come in please” she said and he followed her like a bull going to the slaughter house “So how is Jane and the boy” she asked as she sat down “Well they are both fine” “I missed this place so much” he said looking around “It must be lonely around here” “Yes it is” she answered “no one to talk to, it gets scary sometimes, nightmares in the night other times” she said in a lower voice. “So you wanted to see me” he said “Yeah” she answered not really knowing what to tell him, she didnt want his help in anything, he just wanted his presence. “I just wanted your company, I could have asked Jane but then I know she is busy, you and Jane are the only friends I have, so to escape thoughts of committing suicide, I need to surround myself with people once in a while,,, ” she posed to read his facial expression. He pitied her. It was good because she needed as much pity from him as possible, she would use it to advance. “I hope I didn’t make you abandon other important things” she added “Actually you did” he said stealing glances at her. She didn’t hide her disappointment “But you are more important than all of them, so I abandoned them” he said with a smile and she smiled back. She stood and went to the fridge. Alfred watched her behind move from side to side, he couldn’t believe she was not going to be his wife. She came back with a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. Her hips that had protruded her pelvis swaying in a systematic way. “You take wine? ” he asked in shock “Ofcousre I do, ” “Since when? ” he asked teasingly “Since my mother’s death” she answered and the topic was closed. Her mother’s death must have left a really huge scar . “They took a few glasses and Cathy took the bottle back ” I dont want us to get drunk and do something we might regret later” she said “Cathy I love you and you know that, there is nothing that we can do that I can regret later, Jane was a mistake, a trap , you know that” he said. But Cathy seemed not to be paying attention. She decided to sit on a different sofa when she came back from the fridge. Alfred scanned her and she looked like a fruit. He moved to her and put his arm around her waist. The passion was ignited and it seemed they were both aware of what would happen because they each had prepared some protection. Cathy had bought them the previous night while Alfred had bought them on his way to her house. Clothes were flying in the air and landed on the ground. After minutes they both picked their clothes and put them on. “I have to go back home right now, am even late” said Alfred looking for his shirt behind the sofa “Which home? You can’t do that to me Alfred, am I just a intimacy gadget, to you, dont you like spending time with me. ” she asked amidst sobs wrapping her arms around him. “Just tell her you won’t make it home today” she suggested Alfred texted Jane to tell her that he would be home the next day. Jane tried to call him but his phone was off. She wondered where he could be, a strong opinion was nagging in her heard, that he was with another woman. Alfred and Cathy went to shower together and later slept in each other’s arms. Very early in the morning, Alfred got dressed and kissed Cathy lightly on the lips to go. Cathy who wasnt asleep pulled him back and drowned her lips into his. Alfred threw away everything in his hands and he bent down to hold Cathy. And Thats how they spent the next two hours in the blankets together. “It should have been you, you should have been my wife” ha had told her and she giggled. They went to shower and spent the whole morning and afternoon in bed, listening to some slow music which sent them into deep sleep. Cathy woke up around 3 pm and decided not to wake Alfred up. She went to drink some water and joined him later. Alfred woke up an hour later and went home after exchanging kisses with Cathy. He turned his phone on and there were a lot of messages and who called from Jane. He knew he was in trouble. He reached home and Jane was on boiling point He went to the bedroom and Jane followed her. “You were not at work, neither were you with Frank or Kelvin, I already talked to them. ” she said sharply “Is that how you welcome your husband whom you haven’t seen for the whole night? ” “Where were you? ” she asked starring at him “If I pour hot cooking oil on you then you will start saying that Zambian women are violent” she said angrily “Why can’t you just shut up and let me have my peace” he said harshly. “If you think am a fool, then you dont know me, I will kill you and your girlfriend if I ever find out thay you are cheating” she said, now sweating profusely “Jane stop acting as though our marriage is anything , your parents just dumped you on me, ” And at that, there was an intense quarrel between the couple. Cathy on the other hand was smiling to herself, she would put everything In order before going back to school. She had prepared pasta with chicken and was about to eat when there was a knock. Could it be that Alfred had come back ? She removed the key and looked through the key hole, it was a female. She opened the door and Jane stood there with her son on her back ” oh dear ” said Cathy giving her friend a hug “Come in” she told her. Cathy offered her some pasta but she refused. She then made a cup of hot coffee for her. When her nerves calmed, she narrated to Cathy how Alfred had disappered from home and only appeared the following day, she told her about their quarrel and how she thought he was cheating. Cathy soothed her and comforted her and told her to go back home and resolve the problem without quarrelling. Jane refused to go back and Cathy allowed her to spend the night. “You will be fine” she assured her. Some minutes later, Cathy’s phone rang, it was Alfred. She picked the call but kept saying hello, pretending not to be hearing him. It must be network , he thought. Cathy quickly put the phone on silent It rang again, she looked at it and told Jane she would be back. She went to her bedroom and answered the phone and Alfred said that he was on his way to Cathy’s house to spend the night. Cathy wanted to decline but she thought of the amazing moment they had shared together. She was looking forward to another day and it had come so soon. She told him that he would find her. She sat down to think of what she would do. She joined Jane in the living room “Girl I think you should just go back home, running away from your house every time you have an argument will lead to more problems.” “Cathy I can’t” she answered “Your mum is aware of your fight, she is as much hurt and she needs you” Jane looked at her , digesting her words “Think of it, you fought because he slept out, if you sleep out, he might think you are taking revenge and he will also do likewise, and the war will Not end. ” With this Jane was convinced . She put her son who was sleeping in the sofa on her back “Thank you very much love” she said giving her a peck. She left and went. Cathy sat back in the sofa relieved, she couldn’t wait for another night with Alfred. . |

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 30 . Alfred begun spending very little time at home and his mother inlaw decided to go back home seeing how their marriage was crumbling down. She somehow blamed herself for forcing them to get married. Jane ran to Cathy’s house for comfort everytime she got into a firght with Alfred “Am very sure , he is cheating” she had told Cathy amidst sobs. Cathy squeezed her hand and assured her that all would be well. Days gave birth to weeks and then months. The gap between Alfred and Jane was becoming big and they had become total strangers to each other. Cathy and Alfred had strengthened their relationship. Jane was just an intruder who had come in between them and she wasn’t going to stop their being together. However a big problem arose, Jane ‘s little boy started looking unhealthy, this got the attention of both parents. The boy was not sucking milk and he had lost so much weight and begun to look shrunk “This is what happens when the father of a child who is still on breast milk starts sleeping around. ” Jane had complained loudly “Dont you start again, we shall just take him to the hospital” he had told her harshly Jane had become very restless. When they took the boy to the hospital, they carried out tests on him and was found to be anaemic. “We need to do a blood transfusion” the doctor had told them and asked them to go back the following day. Cathy went to visit them in the evening to check on the little boy. Jane started sobbing when she saw her “Alfred hates me, he is mistreating me. I dont know what to do. But I love him” she whisppered amidst sobs. Cathy’s heart missed some beats when Jane had said that ‘How foolish, do you even know the meaning of love, the nerve’ she thought. She let her lean on her shoulder , the boy was sleeping in the sofa His eyes had half sunken, the skin was pale and he looked very small. Immediately Alfred joined them in the living room. “Cathy , how are you? ” “Am fine Thanks. What did they tell you at the hospital? ” she asked “He is anaemic” he said giving a sigh of sadness ” He needs a blood transfusion, we are taking him back tomorrow” “Am sorry to hear that, I know he will be very fine, ” she said. Jane was still leaning on her shoulder, her eyes were bloodshot. She never took her eyes of the child the whole night, lest he should leave her while she is in sleep, unless the sleep caught her unaware. “But don’t you think instead of relying on the blood donated, its better if you yourselves can donate the blood? It would be much better and safer for the child” Cathy had said “Yes I will donate my blood” Jane said enthusiastically That wasn’t what Cathy had hoped for, the whole point was for Alfred to find out that the boy wasn’t his, if only the blood groups with the baby could be different , then her plan would be succesfull. However the chances were 50-50 “Well Alfred Jane is weak, you can’t let her donate the blood, I think you should do it” suggested Cathy “Oh yeah, I will” he answered Cathy went back to her house after giving Jane a hug and a peck, she pitied the tiny little thing, which however was the only thing tying Alfred and Jane. Alfred escorted Cathy to the bus station. He gave her a tight long hug before releasing her “You should look after yourself my love” he said in a whisper “Ofcousre I will, dont worry much sweetheart, the boy will be fine” she answered. He hugged her again and then let go. Cathy reached home and started wondering what would happen if it turned out that the blood group of both Jane and Alfred was different from the one of the baby. It would ruin everything, maybe it was better if they just got the donated blood from the blood bank The following day at the doctor’s office, Alfred suggested that they use his blood. They took his blood and that of the baby and unfortunately he couldn’t be a donor. “Sorry to tell you this but you can’t donate your blood” the doctor told Alfred. “But why? ” ” because you are of different blood groups” said the doctor Alfred looked at the doctor with so much anger, for the first time he realised how dangerous the proffesion of being a doctor was. “How is that possible” he asked his eyes turning red “Calm down sir, its not,,,, ” “Tell me how possible that can be when he is my biological son” he asked angrily. The fear of him not being the real father dawned on him and he felt like death, the embarssment it would cause him among his family members and friends. He had become so attached to him, separating from him would damage him emotionally. “Such things happen,he is blood group A and you are B, so he must have got the type from his mother” explained the doctor Alfred gave a deep and long sigh of relief. The doctor saw it and wondered within himself where the fear in his eyes had originated from. “So what do you suggest we do” asked the doctor. “We use the blood we have here? ” “Well let me speak to my wife first” Alfred went to ask Jane who was sitting outside the doctor’s office with the baby in her hands. Jane suggested that she would donate blood. Alfred was against but she was very determined They both entered the doctor’s office and instead of telling her to take the blood to the lab, he decided to do it to save on time. After checking the mother’s blood group, his mouth was left hanging. “And what does that mean? ” asked Alfred It was then that the doctor realised that he had not attempted to hide the shock in his mind. “Well I need to speak to both of you” said the doctor “Is anything the matter doctor? ” asked Jane who was filled with so much anxiety “Not really, well are you two married? ” “Yes doctor ” answered Jane quickly. “And are you the biological father? ” he asked referring to Alfred. His heart begun racing “Yes I am” he answered horsely “Well am afraid none of you can donate the blood. Sir you are blood group B and your wife is blood group O negative, a very rare blood group while the child is blood group A. You can carry out a DNA test for clarification , otherwise those are the results. ” “Are you implying that am not the father? ” he asked shakily “For now I would suggest that you carry out a DNA, for now the most important thing is give the baby some blood. ” Cathy was anxious the whole day, Jane had promised to call her but she had not. She begun pacing up and down the room nervously. . |

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 31 . The baby was admitted and the whole night it was on a drip for blood. The parents had very little conversation. When the baby fell asleep and as they were having their bought meal, Alfred finally broke the silence “Jane instead of getting embarrassed and wasting money on DNA, will you just tell me the truth, am I the father ? ” Jane’s eyes became watery, her life was somehow ruined, thats not how she had imagined her future, being stuck with a man whom she had so desperately fallen in love with but who did not reciprocate the love. “Alfred he is your son, he is your biological son, my only boyfriend was stanely but we never had sex” Alfred looked down. He had doubted the boy since he developed a recognisable face “Alright” he said breathing out heavily. The following day, the boy looked much better and was put on medication. He suck some breast milk and they were discharged. Cathy kept calling to hear the progress, Jane had told her about the blood test and that Alfred had acted cool. In the evening of being discharged, Cathy asked to see Alfred who went to meet her in one of the bars. “Am very tired and I was supposed to be resting, why do you want to see me” complained Alfred. “Hey, dont be so rigid” she said shyly poking him ‘This wonderful woman knows all the romancing skills, ‘ thought Alfred smiling. “I heard from Jane about the blood tests, how is it possible that you have a different blood group from your son? ” “I dont know, the doctor said its possible but after checking Jane’s it turned to be a mystery, Jane is very sure am the father” he explained “So what are you going to do? ” “Well, I ll just leave things the way they are, I have become so attached to the boy, I can’t manage to lose him, the doctor suggested a DNA but I dont think I will consider it” Cathy looked at him with so much shock “Are you serious? Are you crazy? ” “What? ” he asked innocently “How can you raise a child who you are not sure is yours, Alfred you have to carry out the DNA test so that you can have peace of mind” In reality it had given him so much stress, wondering whether or not he was the father of the child. The same week he went for DNA test , he and the child were tested. It came out that he wasnt the father. Alfred sat down drowsily, everything was spinning, everything was becoming dark, his energy was quickly leaving his body. He leant against the wall strongly and kept telling himself he shouldnt pass out. He raised himself up after some minutes and went home. Jane had gone to Cathy’s house from the hospital. She knew she was in deep trouble. She knocked on Cathy’s door and it opened slowly. Cathy had hoped that it was Alfred. She knew it was the day of the DNA and that was it, thats what it was all about. It had happened sooner than she had thought. She was disappointed to open the door and find Jane standing with the child on her back, however it excited her to see her looking so lost and devastated Cathy managed to calm Jane who was crying like a little girl who just lost her parents. “You need to be strong for the baby, now tell me what the problem is” Jane managed to tell her what had happened. “But is he really the father? ” asked Cathy “Are you doubting me? Cathy you know I wasnt sleeping with Stanely and I wasnt seeing any other man. ” she said disappointedly “Dont get me wrong, Jane I trust you I just wanted to be very sure so that even when I face Alfred and talk to him, I can confidently tell him to be sensible. But how the hell did that happen? How could such a result come about” asked Cathy rubbing her chin thoughtfully. “Thats what am also wondering, I don’t know what to do” Theyy spent the night together and Jane went to her husband ‘s house the following morning. Her clothes were well packed in her suitcases. “Alfred, what’s this? ” He looked at her and looked away without a word “Alfred don’t throw me out, he is your child, I just don’t understand,,,, ” “How I became the father, you have made me a laughing stock Jane, just go and never show your face to me again. I never loved you, your plan has not worked. ” he said fiercely. Jane got her bags and went to Cathy’s house. She had to find a new house for rent . Cathy was irritated by her frequent visits and putting up with her until she found a new house would be hard “We were not meant to be together, I loved him but he didn’t love me” said Jane “But ,,,,, ” started Cathy but quickly thought against it. How did they sleep together if there was no love or did she seduce him? Cathy thought to herself. Jane was less emotional, she seemed to have had accepted the situation. Cathy finally had a chance to be visiting Alfred anytime leaving Jane home. After a week and some days, Jane found a house not far from Cathy’s house and she moved there. There was already furniture inside and being on maternity leave, she took more time to clean the house and look after the baby. The following day she went to Alfred’s house to get some of the things that he had not packed in her bags and only realised it after unpacking her things. Cathy and Alfred were having a good time and did not hear the knock. Jane opened her purse and got the spare key and opened the door. Alfred ‘s phone was off and she knew that it wouldn’t be considered theft to enter her husband’s house in his absence. She pushed open the door and went to the bedroom where she was supposed to have forgotten her stuffs. She was met with the most unbelieveable shock of her life. Alfred and Cathy were in bed naked. “What! ” she shouted, she put the baby down and moved closer to the naked bodies “Alfred! Cathy! ” she exclaimed The two pulled the bedsheets to cover their exposed bodies . To Be Continued This Evening Cc: Lalasticlala |

THE SMILE OF TERROR – . Chapter 32 . “Catherine what’s this? ” shouted Jane. She pulled the bedsheets they had curled themselves in and exposed their bodies. Catherine stood and got her underwear which was at the edge of the bed and a bra which was down and wore them. She raised herself up and moved closer to Jane “What’s what? ” she hissed “huh tell me, whats what? ” Jane looked at her confused “You and my husband in bed before we even….. ” “You shut up you fool! ” shouted Cathy and Jane moved backwards as if Cathy’s words were a heavy wind pushing her away “He was mine, he was mine before you betrayed me and took him away from me. ” “You have no shame Cathy, you and I were like sisters” “Yes, until you destroyed our sistership, I loved you Jane, like my blood sister” ” and you” jane said pointing at Alfred ” you are a big fool” Jane forgot what she had gone for , she picked her little boy and left. She held back her tears all through the bus until she reached home. She cried as much as she could. After getting rid of all the tears in her, she decided to call Stanely, she had not talked to him for a very long time. “Jane are you crying? Calm down and tell me what’s happening” said Stanely on the other side of the line. In less than an hour he had reached Jane’s house after she gave him directions. “Oh my God Jane, what happened to you? ” he asked hugging her tightily She looked nothing like the Jane he had so madly fallen in love with. This one had become so skinny, and dirty and different, she was just another person. Cathy had put on her clothes hurriedly and left Alfred’s house with no word. Jane narrated her marriage life experience to stanely in a summary. “Wait, so you mean, the blood group test and the DNA test show that Alfred is not the father? ” asked Stanely “Yes” she answered hanging on her head “But are you sure you weren’t having any other private affair? ” Anger was brewing inside Jane but she was helpless , so she had to hold it all in. “Stanely, I never cheated on you, I never understood how I ended up in bed with Alfred, until Lucy showed up and told me that Isabelle had us trapped to have her revenge on Cathy” explained Jane “What,, who is Lucy, what do you mean? ” asked Stanely Jane explained in details how Isabelle had planned to drug her and Alfred with a sexual energizer powder, “Her intention was to get photos of me and Alfred together and send them to Cathy, but in the process I got pregnant” Stanely couldn’t believe it all, shame swept over him when he remembered how he had not believed her story previously. “Am very sorry to hear that Jane” he said putting his hand around her shoulders. “But how is it possible that Alfred is not the father when he is the only man you slept with at the time? ” “I dont know Stan, I really dont know. And Cathy, she has betrayed me” “Was she there in the labour ward? ” asked Stanely “Yes she is the one who took me there? ” she answered “Who was the midwife on duty” “Its Cathy who helped me deliver” “Wasnt there any other midwife or people in the ward? ” “Am not sure, I was alone in the ward, but I lost conscious, when I regained it, there was another woman who had just given birth” she answered “And your babies were with you? ” “No, they were brought back by a certan nurse after sometime. They were taken to the oxygen machine” “With tags? ” “No, they didn’t have” she said “And where was Cathy? ” “I dont know” “Well I dont know if you see what am seeing, but Cathy must have been dating Alfred even before you gave birth, so she didnt approve your marriage and coming baby. She could have switched the babies” he said calmly. “What? Wait,,, that makes sense” She jumped and got her phone from the table and went through it with trembling hands “What are you doing? ” “Am calling Alfred” she answered. He got up and got the phone from her “We dont have the evidence yet, why are you in such a hurry? ” “I just want him to know that am innocent, that I didnt push the pregnancy on him” “Why, you want to keep a good record with him? Do you still love him after all that he did”? He asked angrily and Jane detected the anger ” no I dont, I never loved him, we were just forced to get married” she said quetly Alfred followed Cathy to her house to apologise for what happened earlier with Jane and they got back to terms. He spent the night at her house. The following day, mid Morning, Stanely and Jane went to the hospital where Jane had delivered from. They lied that they couldn’t remember the midwife on duty during Jane’s delivery, Stanely strictly didn’t want to involve the police. If the babies had been swapped, they would conclude that the midwife had made a mistake but then they would deal with Cathy independently A DNA test was carried out on the mother and baby and it turned out that it didn’t match The doctor announced the results to them in the afternon. “We suspected so doctor, thats why we came” They asked for the address of the woman who had given birth on the same day with Jane. Searching by the date, they found her details and address. The two are the only ones who gave birth on that day Immediately they left for her village, asking the people around , they finally reached the village. “This village looks spooky” whispered Jane “How? ” asked Stanely “Everyone seems to be in black, the place looks smoky, like a horror” she answered lowering her tone “Kikiki you are a freak ” he teased They entered the village and were greeted by a man who seemed to be walking aimlessly to and fro “Good evening? ” he greeted bending his knee a little. They responded and asked where they could find the woman, they mentioned her name. He looked at them puzzled “She is my wife, how may I help you? ” he asked. They asked if they could see the woman. He went inside his house with them and summoned his wife. Jane noted that she looked different, she wasnt the jovial woman she had held a short conversation with at the hospital. “How is the child” asked Jane but the woman looked down. . To Be Continued |

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 33 . “Madam am Jane we gave birth on the same day, can’t you remember me? ” she asked worriedly wondering how she could have so easily forgotten her. “I remember you” she said with a plain face. “Well I have brought back your child” said Jane with a smile. The woman looked at her confused. Jane explained everything that had happened and the woman tearfully got the child from Jane. Somehow Jane felt a loss as she had become so attached to the little boy, they had gone through a lot of things together. “I knew she wasn’t my baby, I and my husband have a chain of boys and and it was a miracle to have a girl, we were very happy, it felt strange and it has turned out that our joy was short lived” said the woman, holding the boy in her arms. “Well, you just have to cherish the moments you spent with her, the good thing is that you have experienced what its like to have a daughter. May I see my girl now” said Jane but the woman looked down without a word “Why do you keep silent when I ask to see my daughter, where is she? ” But the woman was already flooded in tears “It was a shortlived Joy” she said “I know ma’am but even a boy is as good as a girl, I know you really wanted a girl but I have to take her, am the mother , they have to be brought up by their parents” “She is no more” said the husband to the woman in a horse voice . “What do you mean by no more” asked Jane “Our little angel died yesterday” he said sadly, restraining himself from crying “Haaa how ? What happened? ” “She caught a cold the day before yesterday and at night she had fever, we were waiting for the day to break before taking her to the hospital but she died in the early hours of the Morning” he explained Each word that came from his mouth was a heavy blow on Jane’s heart and she wished he didn’t continue speaking. “We buried her yesterday” she told them Jane mourned for her child in the hut. “Give me back my child” she shouted as she attempted to get the boy back. “You killed my daughter ” she said. The woman wouldnt let go of her son and it became a bit chaotic . It took a lot of effort by Stanely to calm Jane down. Finally she gave up on it and asked to go and see where the child had been buried. She comforted herself by hoping that maybe without a child, Stanely would get back with her. She would marry him and have so many children for him and they would be happy together. They reached the place where the baby had been buried, she knelt down filling her hands with the soil from the grave. She was sobbing hysterically. Everyone stood back watching her painfully. She muttered some words and got up. When it was dusk they started off to town, the woman and her husband apologised for the loss. On their way back home, Jane wanted to go and confront Cathy about her act but Stanely told her to leave it for the next morning. “I’m going to rip Catherine apart, am going to kill her” she said in gritted teeth, at her house. “You and her simply need to sit down and talk” said Stanely in a cool tone. “Sit and talk?” She repeated his words “talk about what?” Stanely could see that Jane was on fire, he had never seen her that angry “I could take her to court you know, that is a crime” she shouted on top of her voice “Yes you can but is that what you want for her, to die in jail? She has no one remember, the two people she counted on got married without her knowledge, have you ever tried to put yourself in her shoe? The pain she must have gone through?” “Are you on her side?” She bursted. He didnt bother answer her, he simply stood and went to the kitchen. He prepared supper and Jane ate very little “Am I such a bad cook, that all you can have are two spoonfuls? ” asked Stanely. Jane looked at him and smiled. Such a beautiful soul, she thought as she forced more food in her mouth. They slept on the couch, and only woke up the following day with aching necks. “Ouch good morning, how come we slept on the couch? ” asked Jane stretching her self. Stanely stretched to face her. “Goodmorning to you, you are waking up, lets sleep some more” he suggested. “You sleep some more, I ll join you later” she said. She wasnt going to throw away the opportunity to showcase her wife material skills. She quickly cleaned the house and washed the few dishes in the sink, prepared Stanely’s favourite meal, grilled chicken and served at the table. She asked him to let her wash his shirt which was stained with some dirt. “How did you prepare that chicken so quickly? Marriage material huh? ” Jane smiled, very proud of herself . She stole glances at Stanely’s arms in the white vest he was wearing while she had washed his shirt. They looked fine After the breakfast they went to Cathy’s house “Bravo, I can see you two are back together, well its a year of reconciliation, however you guys took a while to reconcile” said Cathy clapping her hands and turning to Stanely she said “Uhmm good morning, forgive me for that, thats how we joke with Jane” “Goodmorning” he answered with a wink “Can we come in? ” asked Jane “Ofcousre why not? ” They entered the house and when Alfred who was in the bedroom recognised Jane’s voice and a male voice , he decided to go and see what was happening. Cathy was asking if they wanted anything to drink. She acted as though nothing had happened in their previous encounter . “Jane you have to drop that face, you look like a wounded buffalo, you are scaring me” she teased “That is because am a wounded buffalo, and if there was a way, I would eat you alive just now” she said angrily. Alfred entered and greeted them, Stanely responded “Cathy how could you, how could you swap my baby with another one, did I not apologise to you for everything? ” Cathy stood startled. “What are you talking about? ” she asked, confused. She knew she was dead meat if already the truth was out Jane narrated everything that had happened and the house was silent for minutes. Streams of tears pouring down her eyes uncontrollably . “She is dead? ” asked Alfred “Yes she is” answered Jane He moved slowly to Cathy with a gaped mouth. “You are a wicked woman,” Cathy could see the disappointment in his eyes and it hurt her. ” you are a snake, there you were entertaining me in bed , showering me with fake love meanwhile you had sold my daughter, Cathy how could you be so heartless, now our daughter has died, all because of you. You are a witch Cathy” he shouted shaking her violently “Shut up! Shut up right now! ” shouted Cathy fircely leaving everyone silent. Alfred took some steps backwards “You and Jane did this to yourselves and you” she said pointing at Alfred “You are a coward, you are also a snake, very cunning and doubled tounged. You slept with my best friend and impregnated her and you never told me, do you know what it felt like to come home and find my mother dead without warning,? I ran to you Alfred for love but you were already having an affair with Jane. Jane you were the sister I never had, even when you knew Alfred is all I had you still took him away. ” said Cathy indignantly, tears pouring down in every direction like the victoria falls “Its Isabelle, she put a drug in our beer and we ended up sleeping together” answered Alfred “And you expect me to believe that crap? ” said Cathy wiping away the tears which were still raining down her face “Well I can call Lucy” he said “Thats not necessary ” she said But Alfred had already dialled her number and commanded her to come. She feared him very much and she promised to be there as soon as possible. ” So are you happy, to hear that my daughter is dead? ” Asked Alfred “Am not but everything I ve done to you two, you deserve it , you cast me away at a time I was in need of you, you dealt treacherously with me” she answered Lucy arrived and she was asked to explain Isabelle’s plot and she did. Cathy sat on the floor speechless, so they were also just victims of Isabelle’s cruelty “But you never told me this” she said in a lower tone. “I thought I did” said Jane “I was very willing to be a step mother to your child Jane but when I came back you two were married, without considering how I would feel.” Jane and Stanely left the house and Alfred followed later. “You should never talk to me again” he had told Cathy Cathy was too upset to answer him, she didn’t need him either, after all he was short. She would survive by herself, she wasnt going to leave the world like her mother did. And she didn’t have time and energy to start crying for ungrateful beings in her life. Both her parents had committed suicide but she wasnt going to do that nomatter how tough life would be. In the evening Stanely was washing plates when Jane came to join him. “If you will be washing plates in marriage, then you will be such a wonderful husband” she said “Oh will I ? ” he said “Yeah, let me continue washing them? ” she said but Stanely insisted he would wash them, and as they played, pulling the plate which was in Stanely’s hands , in a flash, Jane stood petrified “You ve given up huh” said Stanely. Jane’s eyes were fixed on Stanely’s hand “Is that a wedding ring? ” she asked. Stanely starred at his ring as if he was seeing it for the first time. He had forgotten that he had it on. .

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 34 . “So,,,you are married” said Jane disappointedly. “No am not” said Stanely hesitantly Jane looked at him unbeliavably ‘Zambian men, with a wedding ring on his finger and still denying being married’ thought Jane angrily “Well what it really is is that, ,,,,” said Stanley ,stammering “No you dont have ro explain anything , I didn’t expect you to stay single over these months anyways” she cut him. She left the kitchen and went to the living room where she sat starring at the television without getting anything. Stanely joined her after some minutes. “So what next?” He asked But Jane’s eyes were fixed on the screen absent mindedly and Stanely could see it. “Jane ” he called her much louder and she turned to look at him. “Yes” she answered “I just asked you a question” he said “Really? And what was that question?” “Wha next now?” he asked “Next as in how” she said “You and Cathy, are you restoring your friendship” he said ‘Are you stupid?’ She said in her heart, why on earth would she make friends with Cathy? “No am not” she said coldly “am taking this case to court” she added “I thought we talked about this” said Stanely “I dont care what we talked about or not, all I know is that she will pay dearly for her actions” she said calmly “Do you know that she might be sentenced to life imprisonment ? And there will be no one to get her out” said Stanley Jane looked at him and laughed “Who cares Stanely, who cares? Let them sentence her to life imprisonment ,I dont care” she said in an I dont care tone. “Jane you can’t do this, dont repay wrong with wrong” “Do you know what Stanely, I think am very grateful for all you did for me, thank you for unlocking the mystery of my life concerning that little boy even thought it led to the heartbreaking discovery. But I think you need to go home tomorrow, your wife must be really worried.” The entire evening was so awkward for the two. There was less talking and no eating. The following day Stanely left her house early in the morning. “Why dont you wait for breakfast” asked Jane but Stanely said he had to go.Jane remained in tears ,she still loved Stanely so much Cathy was sweeping the living room when there was a knock on the door. She wondered who it was because she wasnt expecting anyone except police officers. She expected them to bang on her door and march in any time and drag her to the station. She slowly went to open the door. To her surprise it was Stanely. “Stanely” she said “How are you ” he greeted her , she responded slowly . “Dont be so startled, can I come in?” “Yeah,” she said smilling,”I wasnt expecting you, I was expecting cops” she said “You have a great sense of humour I must say” and they both laughed . “So what brings you here?” There was a sense of easiness in her voice. “Well to see if I can do something” He cleared his throat and continued ” how much do you hate Jane, on a scale of 10, be honest” Cathy looked at him startled ,she kept quete for a long time trying to hear what her inner voice would say “I would say 2” she answered “So that means you hate her 20% and love her 80%? ” he said and Cathy nodded her head “Thats a good one, so have you considered apologising to her ” “Over my dead body will I do that, I know she didn’t intentionally sleep with Alfred but she intentionally got married to him.” Stanely studied her for a moment. “She did a wrong thing to marry Alfred but she is hurting right now, her child is dead, whom she carried for nine months ,enduring the gossiping around town, gave birth in pain but hey, the woman she trusted so much swapped her child,she came back home with another woman’s child while her own child was dying in the village ,then she suffered emotional pain from Alfred who abused her so much. Please you have to forgive and start a new life, dont habour a grudge against anyone. God forgives us for every sins that we commit, why should we harden our hearts when it comes to us forgiving others . God does no punish us for every wrong thing we do, but he waits patiently for us to realise our wrong doings and ask for forgiveness and he forgives us.” Cathy was listening intently, she had not heard from the word of God for such a long time and hearing Stanely say that reminded her of her childhood sunday school days when they were taught how to memorise verses of which she could nolonger remember even one. “I did a wrong thing, it was terrible” she said quetly. “Now all you have to do is ask God to forgive you and then apologise to Jane and Alfred” ‘Alfred’ thought Cathy, he was the last person she wanted to see. “I ll do just that” she said in a shaky whisper. Stanely left and Cathy sat still in the sofa. She fell down on her knees and wept. She went to her mother’s bedroom and loked for the Bible, she had seen it a few times and she hoped she would find it. She found it in one of the drawers,she hurried to her bedroom and fell to the ground on her knees. With the Bible in her hands and tears down her eyes she looked up. “Dear Lord ,I ve strayed from the way, so far away from the road, I turned my back on you at a time I was supposed to cling to you, please Forgive me, please forgive me, forgive me please” She fell on her knees crying loudly. She pictured how Jane’s child must have had died without the opportunity to receive the love from its biological parents, how she had deceived the other woman into thinking that she had a daughter . She opened the Bible randomly and it went to Mark 2:17 ” ,,they that are well dont need a physician but they that are sick, I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance” She sat down on the bed, thats the comfort that she needed, Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repent ,he came to call sinners to repent, people who are not sick dont need a doctor,its the sick people who need a doctor. She got up and took a bath, without second thoughts ,she started off to Jane’s house after dressing up. She reluctantly raised her hand and knocked on the door. There was no response, she knocked much harder. Jane rushed to go and open the door thinking it was Stanely, but to her disappointment it was Cathy. “What are you doing here!?” She growled Cathy went on her knees “Please Jane forgive me” “What?! Are you mad? You really think am going to forgive you? You must be very stupid Catherine ” “Please Jane,am very sorry for what I caused between you and Alfred and to the baby” said Cathy still on her knees. “Dont even talk about my baby, what do you know about babies, leave my house right now” she shouted. “Am not leaving without your forgiveness ” she protested. “Huh I see, you really won’t leave without my forgiveness, am coming right now,give me a moment” she said as she rushed inside the house. She came back with a bucketful of water and poured it on Cathy. “Ouch ” exclaimed Cathy looking amazingly at Jane. She stood up looking like a soaked chicken. “Please Jane, I need your forgiveness ” she said looking at her. “If you knew how much I hate you, you would be on your way right now to your house” said Jane fiercely “I know why you want me to forgive you” she added “so that I dont take you to court,I can see through you, dont think you are clever.” “Please Jane you can take me me to court if you want, all I want is to be forgiven by you” she pleaded. Jane slammed the door and went inside, leaving the soaked Cathy starring at the door. She went back to her house. Jane locked herself in the bedroom and wept,she had so much to cry about, her child, Stanely and Cathy, she had lost them all. She picked her photo album, she and and Cathy had been so so happy. ..To Be Continued |

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 35 . “Dear mother,its been long since I wrote to you. Life has been very hard for me, I dont know if am paying for what you did to Melody or what, but your death opened doors to many misfortunes. But am happy to tell you that I have come to the knowledge that my God is always with me. I wish you had also been imparted with this knowledge, you would be still be alive. Am at peace knowing that the heavens are in control” Diana wrote in her mother’s Diary. She had taken a warm bath ,thank goodness her house was not very far from Jane’s ,so not many people had seen her in those wet clothes. Alfred was playing some reggae loudly when he head a loud bang on the door. He stood to go and open the door, wondering who that irresponsible person was, only to find it was Kelvin and Frank Whats with the bang?” He asked angrily “And what’s with the frown?” Asked Kelvin. Frank pushed his way through the door and entered the house while Alfred was standing in the doorway. Alfred moved aside to let Frank pass and he followed them to the living room. “You are not seen man, every time we arrange to meet, you never show up” said Kelvin “I know man, things have just been crazy” said Alfred. “We know and thats why we are here, and we would like to welcome you back to bachelorhood” said Frank. “Yeah, so what are we going to do With our lives since dating is not our portion ” asked Alfred to his smiling friends. “Well doesn’t it point to one thing?” said Kelvin “Which is?” asked Frank “Priest hood, let’s join the priesthood” said Kelvin. The other men laughed. They did not waste time before starting to water themselves with the heinken bottles they had brought. Alfred had missed the company of his friends so much The following day after cleaning the house, Cathy went to town then headed to Jane’s house. She knocked on the door but there was no response ,she pushed open the door and found Jane in the blankets shivering . She dropped the things she was carrying and moved closer to her. “What’s wrong?” she asked “Put more blankets on top, they are in the wardrobe” she was shivering heavily. Cathy got the blankets and covered her. She ran to their small market where there were a lot of taxis and boarded on one and took Jane to the hospital. Tests were run and she was found with malaria. She was not admitted, they just gave her drugs . Back home Cathy prepared her some food but she could not eat,knowing how her friend hated drugs, she made sure that she took the medication at the right time. She spent the night at her place and the following day Jane was already recovering . Cathy took a bath from Jane’s house and wore her clothes. “They look better on you” said Jane lazily. “And why isn’t there any breakfast,what kind of a woman are you?”said Jane Cathy turned and hugged her, her friend was back. The girls stayed locked in each other’s arms for some minutes. ” am baking some scones, still in the oven” said Cathy “Are you the one who came with the floweres and the Teddy bear?” Asked Jane “Yes, I brought them for you,” Jane picked it and hugged it, “I ‘ll call you Jathy” “We need to work on you girl” said Cathy. “Foolish girl” muttered Jane. In the afternoon they went to a salon to change their hairstyel and did a mini shopping. “So you and Stanely, are you getting back together?” Said Cathy on their way back “No, he is married ” “Are you serious?” Asked Cathy shocked “Yes girl” “Huh he looked so single” . Jane could not help but laugh “Its not like I expected him to be still single” said Jane sadly. “Oh thats bad” “But he denied being married,can you imagine, with the ring on his finger ” said Jane in a much angry tone. “Maybe he is not” said Cathy.”Maybe he was but not anymore, like maybe he is a widower or something” Jane laughed at her friend, she always had a way of adding some humour. “Who gets widowed in six months and still wear the ring” They reached home and took a quick bath and tried in their new clothings. “Do you talk with Alfred” asked Jane. Cathy told her how much she did not want to see him ever. “I thought you told me about the preaching that Stanely gave you on forgiveness, you need to forgive each other and move on with your lives, we are going to his house just now. You two should talk” said Jane. “No ways,am not ready,am just happy that we are back to our normal selves” said Cathy “Yeah,boys come and go but sisters will always be together” said Jane smilling.”now get ready, we are paying a visit to Alfred today. Just then there was a faint knock at the door. Jane went to open, standing before her was a short light lady. “Hai” said Jane “Hellow, am Mary” answered the lady. “Okey,how may I help you” said Jane trying to recall if she had seen the woman before. “Well am Stanely’s wife” she said. “Okey” she answered “May I come in?” “No” said Jane bluntly. “Am aware that my husband spent nights here at your call, can we talk from inside?” Said Mary. “Sure” She led her to the living room, Cathy greeted her and Jane asked her to take a seat. .

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 36 . Mary made herself comfortable in the chair and turning to Jane she said. “My husband spent two nights here” “Yeah, but nothing happened” she said without an expression on her face. “Do you still like him?” Asked Mary seriously “No I dont, why should I?” Retorted Jane “But then why did you call him and why did yiu make him spend nights here?” Asked the woman. “Hey lady look here, the one with the problem here is your husband, he is the one you should be talking to” said Cathy defensively “I called him because I needed help” said Jane. “Okey I just want to make it very clear to you that I love Stanely very much” she said haughtily. “Well then it might intrest you to know that am not intrested in your man” answered Jane. “When I met Stan , he was very devastated, he had lost his lover ,whom he had so much loved, he was about to propose to her but she disappointed him, she got pregnant for another man and even later got married to him, can you imagine some women” “Mary behave yourself ” said Cathy angrily “Dont you dare accuse me of things you know nothing about, dont you dare think you can judge me” Jabe said furiously ,now beads of sweat beginning to drip profusely. “Hey miss tame your temper” she said casualy. ” I found Stan when he was at his lowest, I tried to bring him back to life but it was hard, we however became best of friends over time and he confided in me a lot of things. I tried to initiate a relationship but he didn’t seem intrested , I thought it was the only way to help him recover, but it looks like the wound was really deep,I persevered and it looks like he dated me out of trying to be grateful for being by his side, during the friendship phase he had told me repeatedly how much he loved you, but do you know the surprising thing about when I first met him?” Asked Mary posing and looking at her audience. “What?” They both asked at the same time, they were listening to her attentively. Mary laughed at them. “Well he had a wedding ring on his finger,” she said taking a deep breath. “Ahh how?why?” Asked Jane who was as confused as you are right now, why would he wear a wedding ring before marriage. “He did not want to move on, he did not want to appear available , he wanted women to think that he was married, he loved only you” Jane did not know whether to be sad or not, but she maintained the same face. “The truth is that I and him are not married, he has been wearing that ring since you broke up” Unbeknowest to her, Jane smiled. “You are smiling, do you still like him?” Asked Mary and Jane quickly switched to a serious face. “Why are you telling me all this?” Asked Jane. “Because I have come to hand him over to you” said Mary “Well I dont need him” answered Jane “If you mess up this time ,I will get him for good” she warned. “so why are you giving up on him since you love him so much” asked Jane. “Because I love him very much” answered Mary. “I always want to see him happy and it looks like you alone can make him happy, he lives like a ghost and if we got married, it would be a loveless relationship, I want him to be happy, so just make him happy for me, if you fail I ll deal with you” Jane and Cathy looked at each other in shock. “Well that should have come from Stanely and not you, did Stanely send you to say all these things?” “No one sent me, Stanely doesnt even know that am here” she said. “Am taking my leave,if you fail to make things work, I will come to grab him, I ll be watching you” she rose and walked away. “What was that” asked Cathy laughing, “I really dont know” answered Jane. “I find her funny you know, she is so funny” “Do you think its true?” Asked Cathy “What?” “That Stanely is unmarried” said Cathy moving to where Jane was seated “Well I dont know if its good news or not” said Jane. “Call Stanely and ask him if at all its true, but Jane refused, her ego did not allow her to do that. ” just get ready, we are going to Alfred’s house” said Jane. 30 minutes later, they were at Alfred’s house. “What do you want” he asked them “We have come to see you” said Jane. “What for?” “We have something to discuss, may we come in?” They entered the house and Alfred offered them some Juice. “Cathy here has something to tell you” said Jane. Alfred’s eyes shifted from Jane to Cathy, she was in a purple flaired dress, she had tied her hair into a pony. Her face very clear as always. “Uhmm,,,” Cathy cleared her throat. “I have come to ask for your forgiveness, my anger had gotten the worst out of me, I didn’t know that you were also just victims of Isabelle’s plots, am very sorry for the harm I caused you, if I could reverse time, I would do the right thing.” There was silence in the house. Alfred looked down then looked up, Cathy was starring at him. “Am sorry but I can’t forgive you, I lost my child because of you” Jane got up and walked to him. “What did you just say?” She asked him. “Who should be more upset between you and me, you never even really wanted that child in the first place, you wanted me to abort her, am the one who carried her for nine months, and am the one who delivered, I went through more suffering than you, so just behave” she said roughly which shocked both Alfred and Cathy. Alfred was speechless, Cathy almost laughed at Jane’s courage and Alfred ‘s humbleness. “Alright, I forgive you, but we can’t be friends again. ” said Alfred. “She didn’t come here to beg for friendship but forgiveness” said Jane. “Thank you for your forgiveness” said Cathy but Alfred didn’t answer. “We are going ,thanks for the juice, only next time dont over dilute it” said Jane and Cathy laughed, Alfred caught a glimpse of her smile and quickly looked away, it was capable of making him refall for her,he didn’t want that. The ladies stood to leave and while they were halfway across the room,Jane turned and said to Afred. “Uhhm dont you think you are forgetting something? ” “What?” Asked Alfred. “Apologising to me and Cathy” “What for?” “To Cathy for impregnanting her friend and even marrying her without telling her, and for not being there for her when she lost,,,” said Jane “her mum” she said in sign language so that Cathy wouldn’t hear. “And you?” Asked Afred. “And me for all the mistreatment I received while living with you” “Alright” said Alfred. He started by apologising to Cathy. “I didn’t know how to tell you without breaking your heart and losing you” he ended his apology. Then he apologised to Jane and ended with “No woman deserves to be treated the way I treated you, am very sorry” The girls smiled and told him that all was but a past now. They left and went to Jane’s house. “We have to call Stanely now” said Cathy but Jane refused. “If he is serious,he will come” she had said. Cathy grabbed Jane’s phone and rushed to the bedroom and locked herself inside. Jane banged on the door “Cathy if I open this door ,you are dead,dont do anything stupid. ” Hey a lady called Mary came to my house, any idea who she is”Cathy sent the message to Stanely who called immediately. Cathy opened the door and gave the phone to Jane, “what did you tell him you fool” said Jane grabbing back the phone. “That a woman called Mary came” she whispered. “Hello” said Jane on the phone. “Alright” she answered and hang up. ” He is on his way” said Jane excitedly . “Well I better be going” said Cathy. “No ,stay” begged Jane. “You want me to watch your romancing?” She smiled. “Go and kiss Jathy a goodbye” suggested Jane. Cathy went to the bedroom and picked the teddybear on the bed, “Stay well Jathy, I love you very much, dont eavesdrop to what big people will be talking about here okey?” She said pecking it. She went to her house and Jane escorted her and promised to update her on everything. “What do I do now, its quete boring” said Cathy to herself. She got the Bible and went to her bedroom. Stanely arrived at Jane’s house in no time. Jane acted very formal, while celebrating in her heart. “So Mary came here?” Said Stanely. “Yes she did” she answered . “To do what?” “to tell me how you met and how she thinks you dont love her and in love with someone else” said Jane “Oh I see, did she tell you who that someone else could be?” Asked Stanely. “According to her, its me” she answered. “Did you believe her?” He asked “No” she lied. “Did she tell you about the ring?” “Yes” answered Jane. “Well everything she told you is true, she told me that she came here to try and make things work for me and you but I thought she lied. She is a good woman but my heart does not belong to her but to you” said Stanely. ‘OMG! I just wish I could record you right now’ she thought. She was so happy that keeping calm was so hard but she managed to simply smile. “Please give me a second chance and forgive me for not believing you” begged Stanely. Jane hugged him and they spent the rest of the afternoon chatting. She couldnt wait to tell Cathy the good news. “Now I can even remove the ring” he said. . To Be Continued Tomorrow Morning |

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 37 . Stanely left in the evening, it was like a dream for both of them. Jane could not believe it, how could life suddenly turn out to be such a sweetheart. She immediately called Cathy. “We got back girl” she said excitedly. “Did you seduce him?” Asked an equally excited Cathy. “Silly, I did not, he just asked for a second chance” said Jane. “Wow, that calls for a big celebration, let’s drink to it tomorrow” said Cathy. The entire evening, Jane and Stanely could not stop texting each other. The following day Jane went to Cathy’s house early in the morning. “Huh great aroma so early in the morning” said Jane sniffing around the house. “Hope,you ve washed up” said Cathy moving from the kitchen to the living room with a tray covered with a cloth. “Whats that?” Asked Jane. “Have you washed up?” Asked Cathy. Jane went to the shower and bathed and got into Cathy’s truck suit. “Do you have any idea, how difficult it is to wash that” asked Cathy but Jane ignored her, proceeding to the dining table which seemed to be the source of the nice aroma. “And now let’s start the celebration” said Cathy, there was grilled chicken and a cake and some scones and biscuits. “There is non like you” said Jane who was already salivating. The girls ate to their satisfaction . “Am pampered ” said Jane.”so what are we taking? Do you have any six pack or even Amarula” “Hell no, no alcoholic shall see its face into this house ” answered Cathy. “Oh I keep forgetting that you are a born again” said Jane yawning, “I think I need to take a nap” she said and Cathy agreed. They went to the bedroom and entered into deep sleep. They only woke up at noon. A week later Cathy begun preparing to go back to school,she was done with attachments and school was opening. “Stanely wants to take us for ice cream” said Jane to Cathy who did not object. The following day being friday, he took the ladies out .They wore their best outfits and they looked extremely beautiful with expensive necklaces. It had been long since Stanely saw that beauty in Jane, he almost silently cursed Alfred for having almost erased every jot of beauty in her. He took them to an expensive restaraunt which suited their looks. As they were almost done with their ice cream,Jane felt a metal at the bottom of her icecream container,she thought it was a nail, it shocked her that a metal had found its way in her icecream,. As she scooped it out,to her surprise it was an engagement ring. She was abit confused but as she turned to Stanely, he was already on one knee. “Will you please make me the happiest man,marry me ” he said. Jane got up and jumped in excitement,it had come so soon,.tears were streaming down her face. Cathy was so happy, she could not stop capturing pictures of the moment. She agreed and let Stanely slip the ring on her finger. He stood up and she hugged him and kissed him. She kept looking at the ring, it was really beautiful and it fitted her perfectly. More Stories @ [url]Classicpluz.com[/url] The following week ,Cathy left for school, leaving Jane very sad. “Dont worry love, Jathy will be my representative” She had told her. She saw her off, she promised to communicate the date for the wedding as Cathy was to be the brides maid. She reached campus and found that Kay had not yet reported .The following day, she went to visit Tom, it had been so long since she last talked to him, his line had been unreachable the whole time they were apart. “Cathy ,oh my goodness” he exclaimed. He gave her a tight hug and asked her to sit on the bed. “How are you?” He asked looking at her as if inspecting every part of her. “Well the good Lord is keeping me” she answered . “We thank God” he said. “And you?” She asked,” your phone has been off?” “Well am fine, what happened to my phone is a long story, as you can see that am using a different one.” He answered . ” let’s take a.walk” he said and they stood up and left. They talked about a lot of things, then Cathy told him about her mother, about Alfred impregnanting and getting married to her best friend and how she switched the babies. He sympathised with her over the loss and the heart break but rebuked her for swapping the babies of which she admitted was very wrong. “You know, I still cant believe I did that to those poor babies, my skin still crawls at the thought, I dont know how I was able to do that” “Its in the past now, you were able to get back with your best friend which is so cool, and you read the Bible and pray which is so marvelous “. said Tom and she nodded her head. He also told her about the girl she had dated during attachments and how they broke up. ” wow am glad you broke up” said Cathy . “Why asked Tom, ” are you by any chance crushing on me? Coz am not ready to enter into a relationship just yet” he said Jokingly to which Cathy laghed. “I dont have even a drop of crush on you buddy,in any case I would like you and I to be just like brother and sister, because relationships dont last but siblings will always be siblings, am not ready to lose you” she said. “Wow, for the first time you have thought wisely, ” so who will be older between us?” “You Ofcousre” said Cathy mockingly. “You think just because your body is small then your age will automatically reduce?” Tom laughed . The two begun calling each other bro and sis. “But how do you call someone whom you love sis?” His friends had asked Tom who plainly told them that he nolonger crushed on Cathy but loved her like his sister, he wanted to protect her and be by her side all the time, he wanted her to be able to rely and confide in him. “The love I have for her is like that of a brother towards his sister, that same one” he explained to them. They however admired him for the priviledge of having such a sister. A week later, Tom went home and he told his aunty about Cathy, how she did not have any relatives and how he had adopted her as his sister. His aunty asked him to go with her home the following weekend. He told Cathy and even though not sure at first, she thouht it was a good thing so they went home Together. . To Be Continued |

THE SMILE OF TERROR . Chapter 38…..SEMIFINAL . Tom and Cathy boarded on a bus,heading to Tom’s house. She was very nervous and she wondered why. “Was your aunty wearing a friendly face when she asked for me to visit?” Asked Cathy for the fourth time,and Tom told her not to worry at all, for the fourth time. “You will love her, she is a wonderful woman” Tom assured her. Minutes later they were standing at the door of the house.Tom gently pushed open the door and asked Cathy to follow him. She did a quick scan of the house ,photo frames on the wall ,it was good and clean. She sat on a sofa queitly and Tom disappeared to obviously one of the rooms. After sometime a light and short fat lady entered the living room. “Katarina” she said with a smile, “the most talked about newly found sister of Tom” Cathy looked at her and smiled. “You are welcome” she said shaking her hand. “How is school?” They talked about a few things and later asked her to join in the kitchen. “Do you know how to bake a cake?” She asked. “Yes I do” answered Cathy. “Alright then you will bake while I prepare dinner, I want to surprise Tom’s uncle today with a cake” She went on talking about how her husband spent little time home due to the nature of his Job,she talked about how Tom’s father who happened to be her brother was wasting his life away on beer even after being to rehab several times. “Tell me how did you meet Tom?” She asked her, she narrated how she had met him accidentally and how she had called him buddy and how everyone at school called him monk. They laughed. “Tom had always wanted to be a priest ,to take a vow of celibacy from childhood, thats what his father had taught him,that women are beasts, simply because his wife left him, I dont blame her at all. So even when I got Tom and begun living with him here,he hated me so much, but after sometime, he realised that am harmless and has taken me as his mother ever since.” Cathy watched the woman talk on and on, she was a real time entertainer. “Dont be surprised about how much I talk, am surrounded by men around here, my two kids are both male, so I dont get to have an opportunity to find a listening ear and a gossip mate.” She then asked her about her parents . She told her their names in full and what they did for a living. ” wait a minute!” She exclaimed. “Your mother was Elizabeth who got married to Patrick?” She asked in shock. “Oh Lord we live in a small world, your father was a hottie at college and we all crushed on him,the day he proposed to your mother, there was weeping among the ladies. Those two lovebirds loved each other so much, everyone on campus loved them. They just could not live without each other. Lydia will be so happy to see you” she said. It was the first time Cathy got to hear a few things about her parents’ relationship, it comforted her that they loved each other so much, she understood why her mother became depressed and angry with Melody for accusing her of being responsible for her husband’s death. Its a pity they both ended that way. They had dinner and despite her effort to let the two spend a night, Tom insisted that they leave. “Thanx for coming sweety, you should be coming every weekend and you should consider spending a holiday here, I will invite Lydia over, she will be so happy to see you” Cathy wondered who Lydia was but did not ask , she guessed that it should have been one of her mother’s college friend, probably bestfriend. “Wow I feel like I have just discovered a family, I love that woman” said Cathy in the bus. “We are your new family Cathy, she loves you as much, she told me that she can’t believe that she finally has a daughter.” Cathy looked through the window, trees racing behind her, it was a cool evening, life was really a struggle, and the battle is not always to the strong. The two sat silently until they got off the bus. Cathy burst into laughter, ” what now?” Said Tom. “Aunty told me about how you wanted to be a priest from childhood, what happened?” Tom looked away and laughed, Cathy had taught him the ability to love and showed him the other side of women, he had thought that the only good woman in the world was his aunt. The following day,there was a knock which woke Jane up, she went to the door hoping it was Stanely, only to find Alfred. “Alfred?” “Goodmorning Jane” he said. “How may I help you?” She asked “Its Catherine, is she dating?” He asked. “Is that why you came all the way, you could have just called you know” she said laughing at him. “Its very important to me” he said. “Why do you want to know, the last time I checked, you clearly said you dont want any friendship with her” she said looking him in the eye. “It was anger” he said. “She is not dating, what now?” “Oh thank God” he said making a cross sign and looking to the heavens. “I can’t let go off your friend, she has colonised my entire heart, I can’t pretend” he said. “Isnt it her, who should be hearing this? Not me” said Jane. “I need your help” “Come in” They enterd the house and plotted on how best to approach Cathy and with what words?” Jane called Cathy later in the afternoon. “Sweety, am asking for your brothers’ line” said Jane. “Who?” Asked Cathy “Tom ofourse” said Jane “What for?” She asked. “Iwe just send, someone wants to ask him concerning the course” She sent her the number and she forwaded it to Alfred. Jane later called Tom and introduced herself. She asked him if he could help by mentioning Alfred in their conversations with Cathy and see the response. “I dont think I like that Alfred guy” said Tom. “Your Job as her brother is not only to choose what’s best for her but also what makes her happy.” Said Jane When Tom met Cathy he said. ” If Alfred popped from somewhere,what would be your reaction?” “I would run away” she told him. Thats the same answer she gave him all the time which frustrated Jane so much. “I dont know if she still likes you or not, just go over there and tell her what you feel” said Jane on the phone. The following weekend, Alfred went to Lusaka to talk to Cathy. He called Tom and they met. “Will you accompany me? Brother inlaw?” He said. They went to Cathy’s room and Tom remained outside the hostel ,he called Cathy. “Sis I have a surprise for you” “What?” She asked. “Open the door if you are in the room” “Am still in bed, ” she said lazily Cathy walked to the door hoping it wasnt fools day in November. She stood on the door way shocked. Her heart was racing. “Whaaa,,,what, are you doing here?” Afred didnt know whether to smile or to look humble. “Am here to see you Cathy” he said. “Come in” Alfred entered, nothing much had changed, same wall paper, same carpet,same table, only the beddings were different. “Where is Kay” “She went for weekend yesterday,and how did you meet up with Tom?” “We are buddies” said Alfred “Well there is someone who wants to say hi to you” said Alfred opening his bag. “Who?” “Oh my God Jathy! Ewww I missed you so much” she shouted grabbing her from Alfred. “Ohhh” she hugged the teddy bear. “I missed you so much,how is Jane? Oh look at you all grown.” And thats how her mood lightened up. ‘Jane’s idea was really ideal’ said Alfred to himself. They talked a little about school, work, the weather, Alfred didnt take long before making known what he had gone for. “Somehow it looks like you ve gotten over me, which breaks my heart” said Alfred. “I got over you the day you called me a snake and a witch” said Cathy. Alfred kep queit, how on earth could he have called her those names. “Am really sorry, I was foolish to call you that, tempers were high and new things were being said. But am realy sorry, I just can’t live without you and my worst nightmare is you being with another man instead of me.” Cathy kept quiet. She didn’t feel the same way as he did but she knew that she çould easily love him again. “I could have given you a second chance but you see am a born again and I dont want to spend my life with a man who drinks, what will I teach my children?” Now that was very hard for Alfred, choosing between love and beer, he loved them both, “But you know am not a heavy drinker, I just drink on weekends” “Drinking is drinking” said Cathy. Alfred had to think quickly before he could be seen as one who loves beer more than Cathy or rush into a quick promise. “You can teach me how to stop, you can be giving me the Bible verses concerning beer and you can draw me closer to God” he said. “Well” said Cathy giving a sigh. Afred turned to Jathy. “Jathy please, help me tell aunty how much I love her. ” I ll think about it, tomorrow maybe” she said. She needed to enquire from both Tom and Jane. They talked about other things and after lunch Alfred left. “Where are you staying?” Asked Cathy as she escorted him. “At a friend’s house” he said. In the evening, Cathy called Jane and told her what Alfred had done. Jane acted surprised and called it romantic,she told her to go for it if she still liked him. The following day ,Alfred went to see Cathy again and was met with the goodnews, “Maybe we can give it another try” she had told him. He hugged her and thanked her. They went for a movie in the evening, with Jathy. Preparations for Jane’s wedding were underway and Cathy couldnt wait to close school and participate fully. They finally closed but her Aunty insisted that she spend a night home before leaving,so she went with Tom and left the following day. Her aunt gave her money for transport and told her to keep in touch. Back home, everyone was in the wedding frenzy. Alfred was so happy to see her Catherine. “We ve come a long way my love” he said kissing her. She smiled at him and as usual freezing him. He cooked for her sometimes and took her shopping from time to time and they went for picnics. “How come i didnt see this romantic side of you?” She teased him. “Well I have to be the best man for you” Soon it was the day of the wedding. . . .

THE SMILE OF TERROR . THE FINALE (Chapter 39) . “But how could you not invite Alfred to the wedding” asked Cathy “We ran out of cards, am really sorry and the reception hall can just hold a limited number of people.” explained Jane It was sad but Alfred told her that he would be out of town,on a workshop so it was for the good that he wasnt invited. Every one looked in awe as Jane marched in the church. She was escorted by her mother and joined Stanely at the front, who was escorted by his father. “,,,,he who finds a wife finds a good thing” said the preacher. They said their vows and it was time for ” you may now kiss the bride.” Stanely moved to his bride and as they both closed their eyes,they kissed passionately. Cathy wished Alfred was present, to get motivated, everyone cheered except Jane’s mother who was too embarrassed to watch . Church service was over and they went to take photos. In the evening, at the reception ,the introduction was made by the people on the line up,who danced their bones to people’s satisfaction. Then the groom entered dancing and then the bride. She was in a different wedding dress, nicer than the first one. It was a dropped-waist ,silk-satin gown which skimmed her hips and flared mid thigh. There was plenty of food and drinks and people merried, the couple fed each other the cake, . It was time for the parents to go upfront and deliver their speeches, its the most boring part of a wedding but these parents made it easier for the people as their speeches were very brief. Cathy was asked as well to deliver a speech, she had told Jane that it wasnt necessary but Jane had insisted that she does it. “Its my wedding, I make the rules and you follow, you are my bestfriend, you need to say something” she had told her. “I and Jane have known each other since we are just kids, God let us grow up together and now we are best of friends, today is one of my happiest days to see her get married to the man whom she loves, love is a beautiful,,,,,,,” She stopped as Alfred walked up to her, everyone was watching amusingly. He went on one knee and holding a ring in his hand he said ” will you marry me?” Everyone clapped,and cheered. “Oh Lord” said Cathy “yes I will” She looked at Jane and she winked. The wedding continued and people danced and got drunk. Finally it can to the end and Alfred went to Cahy’s house. “You and Jane tricked me into thinking that you were not in town.” Said Cathy “well it was Jane’s idea, all I said is that I had bought a ring but I didn’t know the ideal occasion to slip it on your finger.” She hugged him for the fifth time, “We are going to have a new family soon” she said. She had called her aunt about it and she was so happy “Set the wedding date and let me know” she had said. She was going represent her mother. In the evening, Cathy asked Alfred to leave. “We can’t spend the night together babe, fornicaion is sin.” “Ofourse my love” he answered. From time to time they met and read the Bible together, it was amazing how much of the Bible verses Cathy could recite and how well she intepreted scripture. “You know I never really took Jesus serious, I knew that there was God but Jesus dying for our sins never really made sense to me and at times i thought he never even existed, but now I know that he came and really what he did was a great sacrifice .I feel like I ve lived my life in darkness.” He had told her . Cathy went ahead expounding on the prophesies of Daniel and comparing them to Revelation and how prophecies of the Messiah in the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament . “Oh my God ,I can’t believe this” exclaimed Alfred. He took so much intrest in reading the Bible, holding Bible Study with Cathy. Since he had stopped going to church ,he joined Cathy’s church and got baptised. “I wish my girlfriend also could lead me to God, the only place she leads me to is the shopping mall” said Frank and the two other bachelors laughed. “I will invite you guys to the Bible study I will be holding with Cathy soon,” On a warm sunday, Cathy was seated on the log of a tree lying on the river bank with Alfred beside her. “The sun sets so beautifully” she said. Her thoughts were far away, she had sat there with her father, then George and now Alfred. It was at the same river that she fell in love with Alfred when he had rescued her from the criminal. Thinking through everything, it seemed like a dream, like a cloud of smoke disappearing in horizon far away, alo had happened.she put her hand on Alfred’s shoulder. Really love conquers all.
