EPISODE 27

“Did he know before he left?”

It was nine days after the news of Ebube’s death came to them. Both women loved him in their own ways, both women bled deep inside, but one has taken up the responsibility of looking after the other.

No matter how much she hurt, she wouldn’t want anyone to notice. The old woman, who would have been her mother in-law walked around like a shadow, sometimes she looked at her and the little girl as if she has not seen them before, but the news of her pregnancy made the old woman smile for the first time after a long while.

Elizabeth couldn’t help but noticed how much the woman has aged within the few days “No mama, I didn’t know either until few months after he left”

Mrs Ojukwu held Elizabeth “He is going to be a boy” a sob escaped Elizabeth’s lips “Don’t cry child…” tears ran down Mrs Ojukwu’s cheek while she caressed Elizabeth’s face. Elizabeth nodded while fighting back tears “He is coming back…my son is coming back to me again”

Elizabeth shook her head in pains; how would she console the woman even with her own pains; it has been difficult for her to close her eyes and sleep in the nights, most times she would see him in her dreams; either drowned or cold dead. Last night, she brought out the ring he gave her the day he left

“You tricked me Bube…you lied to me” she had torn his letter to pieces

Elizabeth helped Mrs Ojukwu to relax her back on the sofa before she hurried to the kitchen where she allowed the tears to flow

“Auntie why are you cwying?”

Elizabeth quickly wiped the tears from her face and turned to the child “I am not crying darling, something entered my eyes”

“Yet me bwo it (Let me blow air into your eyes)” the child offered

Elizabeth smiled in spite of herself, she walked towards the child and bent to meet the child’s face “It alright now, I will wash my face and I will be alright”

“Auntie”

“Hmm?”

“Is it true that Daddy will not come back?”

The innocent question took Elizabeth off guard “Come her baby” she held the child in a tight embrace “Who told you that?” she asked

“I heard that man…he set Daddy will not comeback” the child said

“Oh No baby…” she kissed the child’s head “Daddy will be back alright? He will only stay a little longer than he said but he will come back for you” that was the only explanation she was able to come up

“I knew it…daddy doesn’t lie to me” the child said happily

“No he doesn’t” Elizabeth sobbed softly over the girl’s head

“He said he will come back and he will” the child said “He will marry you and I will start calling you mummy”
Elizabeth fought the tears

“Can I start calling you Mum now?” the child pulled herself away from the embrace and looked Elizabeth on the face

Elizabeth couldn’t say anything, tears streamed done her face, the child wiped them with her little fingers “Don’t cry Mummy, I know you miss daddy, I miss him too… see we are going to have a big wedding with a beautiful cake…no three beautiful cakes, one for me, one for you and one for daddy…no another one for grandma…”

Elizabeth wished she was a child, that she could be able to have hope like the little girl that stood before her. Her phone rang and she reluctantly picked;

“Hello…Okon what is it? What! what are you talking about? Okon…Okon!!”

“Baby you have to promise me you will look after grandma; mummy want to go to the farm now…have your breakfast before you turn on the TV”

“Okay Mummy” The child giggled “Calling you mummy sounds nice”

Elizabeth changed her cloth, took her car key from the table and hurried out

“Lock the door Oma!” she shouted before she drove off

*

Chike got back home later that morning and walked straight to the room with a bag, he exchanged no words with his wife who saw him from the kitchen window as he packed the car.

They had been like strangers for the past months, he would leave the house and would come home after few days. Their family income dwindled but he didn’t care, he was consumed by his own lust and thirst to get even.

Chike kicked his snickers off his feet and stretched himself on the bed, with every day that passed, it was becoming easier for him to gain assess into Elizabeth’s farm and her life, with what he did that morning, he had no doubt that she would be rattled so much that she would beg him on her knees.

He stood up pulled his clothes off and stepped into the bathroom; he wouldn’t want to bother himself with his joblessness nor his estranged wife, nobody would spoil that day for him, he would give her some time before he would call her.

“Where did you go to Chike?”

He met his wife in the room when he came out of the bathroom, she had his little bag with her and looked alarmed “What are all these?”

He quickly closed the gap between them and snatched the bag from her “They are none of your business” the content fell and scattered on the rugged floor.

Ada gasped at the sight of the chemicals, syringes, and gloves, “Chike what are these things? What have you been up to…” she bent to picked some of the small bottles

“Don’t touch that!” Chike barked

“What have you done Chike?” she didn’t wait for answer, she turned immediately towards the door and made to run our but she wasn’t fast enough; Chike grabbed her from behind and threw her on the bed

“You are not leaving here to run your mouth” he pinned her down with his weight while she struggled to free herself. she had done nothing but get on his nerves lately and he knew it was time to do something about her. Chike slapped her so hard on the face that she tasted her own blood, before he drew from one of the bottles with a syringe and inject in her.

“You have to learn how to mind your fucking business next time” he said

Ada was helpless, with her eyes wide open, she couldn’t move any part of her body. The Opium paralyzed her from neck down, she saw the hatred and the madness in her husband eyes, the man he used to be to her was long gone, she didn’t recognize the man that looked down at her.

*

“Okon how did this happen?”

“Madam I don’t know o, as I come this morning, them been dey alive o, I sell for costumers finish, I say make I go clean the other ponds, as I come back say make I clean this one, na so I notice say the whole fish way dey for this pond don die”

Elizabeth couldn’t make sense out of anything the boy said “Okon you are not making sense, how can you tell me say a full pond of healthy fishes…Okon, healthy fished…all died this morning!”

“Madam na true I dey tell you, I no know watin happen ma, I come out come see them like this ma…”

“All of them dead?”

“Some bin dey shake small small before I call you, but I no no why all of them just die…”

Elizabeth was almost going mad “Jesus! What is this? What is happening to me?”

“Madam I don know…”

She looked in the pond, that was the largest pond in her farm with fished ready for harvest “get me my gloves and my boot” the boy ran to the farm house and came back with her black rubber hand gloves, she entered the pond and examined some of the dead fishes “How is this possible?” she muttered as she took one of the fishes “I didn’t change their feed” she was confused

“Madam, Madam…”

“What?”

“Your phone dey ring”

She shoved her hand in her apron pocked and brought out the phone “Who is this?”

His laughter hit her like a punch, she recognized it immediately “I don’t have time for his, I have a pressing issue I am attending to right now…”

“That means you have gotten my little message to you?”

She was about to cut the call on him when she heard his comment and realized what he was talking about

“How many of them died? Twenty? Hundred? Or more?” he laughed with satisfaction “My darling, I told you that I can do anything with you and get away with it…”

“You are not getting away with this one Chike” there was something nervous about his tone that day and she sensed it

“Oh! What will you do big fat LovePeddler? Report me to the police? Or send your navy Bleep boy to me?”

She wasn’t scared of him anymore and that surprised her, she was tired; tired of crying, tired of hiding away from him, tired of his many jump scares. She was done with running, her experiences within the past weeks had toughened her “You are a coward Chike, you think you are tough?” she laughed hysterically “You are nothing, a piece of shit that is what you are”

“Are you talking to me?” He was not expecting her to sound the way she did, and she felt his reaction from the sound of his voice

“Wait let me finish Idiot! You know something Chike? When I dated you, I thought you were everything I wanted in a man, but now…I see you as the looser that you are, and I feel sorry for your wife, who ever she is. I hope by now she must have known what a buffoon you are” her anger built to an eruption point

“How dare you? how dare you talk back at me in that manner you daughter of the devil? You are the reason I am what I am now, you destroyed me and I will not rest until I make sure you become nothing…” He made his threats as usual

“I did nothing to you Chike, I didn’t make you lose your Job neither did I force you to leave for another woman. You know what? I don’t care anymore, you can rant from now till next year like a senseless dog that you are, I have a business to attend to” she said furious calmness

“Elizabeth you have forgotten what I can do to you, I will get you and will make sure you beg me to spare you. I will take what rightfully belong to me in a way you have never imagined it…”

“I owe you nothing you fool, and I don’t belong to you” she cut in

“You belong to me, your body is mine, I have tasted you before and will still take it…”

“I will rather die a thousand times than allow you have access to my body you pervert Idiot!”

“You will beg for mercy when I will turn you to my thing of pleasure, you will not be able to imagine it”

“I dare you Chike, come get me…” she brought the phone down and cut the call

“Bury these fishes and clean the pond Okon” she ordered

“But madam, make we roast am na, we go still sell am as dry fish”

“Okon will you do as I instructed you now? She barked

*

The girl they called Sagal stood by the door and watched him cut the woods, he had his shirt tied round his waist, his muscles were visible on his mahogany skin, the sweat that wet his bare torso, made his skin shone, the movement of his strong arms as he lifted the axe, gave a rhythmic movement of his masculine chest. He poured out his frustration and vexations on the wood.

Ebube stood to wipe sweat off his face and his eyes caught hers; she brought her eyes down and walked away, not fast enough to cover the longing in her eyes and the sadness of his rejection last night.

He didn’t blame her; he knew she wouldn’t look at him the same way again after what happened last night. He had woken up to her slender body nestled closed to his, her tender breast that kissed his back and a soft breath on his neck. He wasn’t sure how real it was for he has imagined
Elizabeth on his bed, he had responded to the touch, he must have even called out Elizabeth and had turned towards her. He came to full realization when he turned and she grabbed his lips with hers; the kisses had lingered and her moaning was different from that of his Lady,

“No, no…” he had pulled himself away and sat down

She couldn’t speak English, that made it difficult for him to understand what she said to him, “I cannot do this with you…” He wasn’t sure she understood him, but when he picked her cloth from the floor and handed it over to her, she took it with tears in her eyes and ran out.

Ebube eased himself from the tree he leaned on and picked the axe, yesterday he had thought of home more than before, he had thought of his lady. He needed to buy his freedom one way or the other, but how?

“Get the UN to stop fighting on the side of the Government” Adsame had asked of him

He would get back to the encampment, maybe he would have the opportunity to call home too.

EPISODE 28

“from our diagnosis, she has Hemorrhagic Stroke” Dr Nkama relaxed his back on the rotating chair in his luxurious office, tilted his head sideways and gazed at the young lady.

She sighed and shook her head “How bad is it?” she asked

Elizabeth returned that morning and met Mrs Ojukwu having seizures on the sitting room floor, Omalicha tried to pull the woman off the floor, but the effort was like lifting a dead weight.

The doctor adjusted himself on the seat and clamped his fingers together before he spoke again “Well, she has some blood leaking into her brain”

Elizabeth didn’t understand what the doctor meant “have she had any attack like this before?” He asked

“I…I don’t know…see she is not my mother actually” it was difficult for her to explain “She is the mother of my…my fiancée”

“So where is his son? Shouldn’t he be here by now?”

“Ehm…he went for a UN peace keeping mission seven months ago and…” she broke off

Doctor Nkama looked at the pregnant lady, he would have asked if the said fiancée was responsible for the baby, but the it wasn’t in his place as a doctor to go beyond medical practice to ask such question “Oh…” he exclaimed “So did your Fiancée ever told you that his mother suffered from stroke before?”

Elizabeth shook her head. She looked so tired and drained “He has never mentioned it to me”

“it is difficult to ascertain what could lead to this, as there is no previous medical file to look at…”

“Actually” Elizabeth started “Bube…My fiancée…” she tried explaining with her voice filled with emotions “we got a news that he was…he was shot at Somalia” She broke off again and swallowed hard “He is not coming back again” She wiped few tears and sniffled “his mother has not been herself since then” She said in-audibly

“Oh my God! I am sorry…I am so sorry…” He took the young ladies hand “I will not tell you that I know how you feel, the truth is that I don’t, but no matter how painful it is, please be strong for you, your baby and…you know…the woman who lay sick there”

Elizabeth nodded “Thank you” she muttered

“We will try all we can to help her, thank God you brought her on time” He withdrew his hand and took a pen and a pad, he scrambled
somethings on it “We have already commenced treatment as you have seen” he looked up at her with a smile “The drip and the injections are to reduce the pressure in the brain and control the overall blood pressure” he removed his eye glasses and rubbed his eyes “I would have recommended surgery but I will monitor her progress first”

“Thank you so much Doctor”

The doctor stood up, pushed the chair backward and grab his coat “Miss…”

“Miss Elizabeth sir”

“Elizabeth, I think you should go home now and catch some sleep” he wore back his eye glasses “Meanwhile, how many months gone are you?”

“I am not sure” She bit her lips “seven months maybe”

The doctor gave her his full attention “Should I take it that you have not been attending antenatal checks?”

“I registered with Obio-cottage home, but I have not gone for the past three months”

“Elizabeth!” he walked closer to her and sat on top of the desk “why are you doing this to yourself? Don’t you think that you may have complications? I know you have had a child before but, that doesn’t guarantee your safety in this one”

She lifted her tired eyes on him in confusion “What child doc? This is my first pregnancy”

“I thought the little girl…”

“No, she is a child from my late fiancée’s failed marriage”

“Sorry for my misconception” he stood up and walked towards his examination bed “Alright, can I take a look on the progress of the baby?” he tapped at the narrow bed and Elizabeth stood up from the chair and lay on the bed.

Doctor Nkama examined her and listened to the fetal heart beat; he lifted his head with a smile “Well Miss Elizabeth, I am not too sure but I think I heard two heart beats” he laughed but she did not “Come one, this should brighten you up”

“I wish he was here, Bube would have been over joyed”

“It’s okay, don’t be too hard on yourself young lady, you have so much to leave for now, think of your babies, the little girl and her grandmother” he placed his hand on her shoulder “She will be very happy when she hears this”

“Doc, I thought you said you are not too sure?”

“Hmm, since I didn’t do an ultra-sound on you, I cannot say categorically, but I am sixty percent sure” he dialed a number but it wasn’t answered, he dropped the phone “I will advise you to go for an Ultra-sound, and go for your Antenatal regularly”

“Thank you so much doc” she stepped down from the bed “I have to go back to my…ehm…my fiancée’s mother”

“Okay” Doctor Nkama watched the young mother until she closed the door behind her, she reminded him of his twin sister; chubby, fair, and filled with life till the day cancer took her from them. Mrs Elizabeth had everything her sister used to have, well, not everything; she lacked the brightness that was supposed to compliment her beautiful face.

*

He was getting ready to leave when Sagal entered his room with his Uniform and dropped it on a desk

“Thank you” he said without looking at her. He was uncomfortable around her, not that he felt anything for her, but because he sensed that she was subtly on a quest to get him to make love to her.

He had thought that last night was a mistake, but that morning, when he finished cutting the woods and had gone to take his bath, he had turned to see her hurried out of the dilapidated bathroom.

Sagal had tactfully opened the door and had stood un-noticed watching him. She had desired him the first day he opened his eyes, that was why she had given him her special care and attention. She knew Adsame would be mad at her if he noticed her lust towards the UN soldier but the desire consumed her and her Vagina dripped with wetness each time she set her eyes on him.

He still had his back on her, he didn’t even know that she still stood there; she wanted to turn and walk away but then decided against it, she decided to try again.

So there she stood, with nothing underneath, she pulled her Hijab off her head and slid her Jalabya off her shoulder and it fall on the rough floor. Her ebony dark skin glittered, her long dark hair loosed and made her face alluring. “Soldier” she called softly

Ebube turned to the sound of his name and saw the Somalian beauty in all her grace and glory. He was speechless for a moment, eyes fixed on hers and his feet rooted to the ground. It took him some time to get his voice back and pulled his eyes away from her “Jesus Christ!” he muttered, he took his uniform and walked out of the room.

He met General Adsame’s Right hand man on his way out, he had watched all the while.

Sagal sat by the window, she saw him when he left. He was with the militia General, the man that saved her from being stoned to death when her husband accused her of infidelity. Her husband had seen her chatting with Umar, his brother with her hear uncovered.

Her husband died two years after the war started and Adsame took her in as a servant and also his LovePeddler at night. Only two persons knew about her life at night with the General; the general himself and Abdulkareem, his right hand man.

The soldier and the general stood for a while and argued on some issues before they resumed their walk. Hot tears burned her cheek as she was filled with bitterness and anguish. She had wanted to have a taste of lovemaking outside the covet rape she received regularly.

She felt a hand on her head, someone coiled her long hair on his hand and drew her head closer to his chest “I know you want him” He said in their local dialect “I saw the desire in your eyes”

She gasped, she didn’t know it was that obvious, Abdukareem has a way of sniffing out her weaknesses and would blackmail her into fucking him secretly behind the General’s back

“Don’t worry, no other person would know” he pulled her up, bent her by the window, pull her gown up and brought out his rigid Dick. He tried to slide the D*ck inside her without success, he spread her legs wider and pushed his d*ck in her wetness “Good, you are already wet”

She was wet for someone else, Abdukareem knew it and he didn’t care, he hoped General Adsame wouldn’t return sooner so he could have his own share of the royal Pu*sy.

He jerked and poured his juice in her, they both heard the general as he came back and issued orders to those outside, Abdukareem pulled himself off her immediately he took his robe and ran out of the room.

F*cking her by the window was one big risk he took, but he loved it.

“Here, I made this for you” Amaka handed a food flask to her friend

“What is in there?”

“Open it first na”

“Okay o” Elizabeth opened the flask “Wow, Chicken pepper soup” She inhaled the aroma “Thank you so much Amaka, I don’t know what I would have done without you” She covered the flask and kept it on the table beside the hospital bed

“What are you doing?” Amaka grabbed the flask “My friend open this thing and start eating it now”

“I will eat later now; I am not hungry yet”

“No o, you will eat this whether you are hungry or not ah ah! Do you know the last time you took good care of yourself? Look at you, you are dying gradually. And to think that you are starving yourself with pregnancy, do you want to die too?”

“No Amaka, I have lost appetite for food, but I will eat trust me” Elizabeth looked down at the sleeping Mrs Ojukwu

“How is she?” Amaka followed her gaze

“The doctor said she will be fine; we were lucky to bring her earlier” Elizabeth shooed a mosquito from the old woman’s head

“Thank God, God will not allow us to have another tragedy” Amaka went for the flask again “Oya come and eat this food now or I will leave here without coming back”

“Amaka, you are beginning to sound like my mother” she took the flask and dipped her spoon inside the food, she sipped the soup and nodded

“This is good Amaka, it tastes nice”

“Thank you dear friend for finally agreeing to eat; your mother said you want to starve yourself to death, that was when I went to drop Omalicha with her” Amaka increased the AC in the hospital room “Lizzy”

“Hmm” she cut a piece of chicken

“I thought about this whole thing…All you have been through lately…Chike stalking you and trying to make your life more complicated that it is now…I think you need a new beginning”

“What are you suggesting?” Elizabeth got an excuse to stop forcing herself to eat and covered the flask

“I am thinking that you should start all over on a clean slate”

“With a stomach as big hot balloon of course” Elizabeth pointed

“I don’t mean that, I mean you should change somethings; like phone number, accommodation, I mean you need to move to a new environment”

Elizabeth thought of it for a while “Hmm, I wouldn’t mind changing environment, but I don’t think I can change phone number, what happens to my costumers and other important numbers?”

“Copy them all out and throw away the old number, trust me girl, you don’t need people from the past to remind you of the past, you have to move on”

“It sounds like a good idea, but the part of copying out numbers will be done by you”

“Lazy cow” Amaka called her

“I know”
