Episode 8
“baby what’s wrong?” i asked again. She wiped her eyes and
shook her head.
“i lost the pregnancy. I lost it again” she sobbed bitterly.
I tried holding her, but she pushed me away.
I really was a bit relieved on hearing the reason for her tears but i
equally was far from happy over the terrible news she just gave
me.
“this is now the second time i’m losing my pregnancy. What could
be wrong?” she cried bitterly, melting my eyes as well. I drew close
and strongly hugged her.
“no this can’t happen. Nooo” i breathed with pain.
My wife lost the first pregnancy few days after our wedding
ceremony but we easily pushed it away, thinking that it was
caused by the stress of the wedding ceremony and all the running
around that followed it. But now it has happened for the second
time. A pregnancy not up to two and half months.
“What could be wrong?” i wondered with fixed feeling.
“i wasn’t feeling very well at work today, which forced me to come
back home the time i did, but i had barely settled down to rest
when i noticed i was soaked with blood” she sobbed.
“c’mon my love. You got to be strong. We still have enough time to
have as many kids as we want. So stop crying. I beg of you” i
pleaded passionately. She slowly broke away from me and stared
into my eyes.
“you smell somehow. I don’t understand the scent i’m perceiving
from you” she suddenly asked curiously. I froze with shock for
some seconds before smiling and regaining my composure.
“this your big nose really works overtime. What kind of smell are
you perceiving?” i covered up innocently, grabbed her a bit roughly
and carried her to our bedroom while she playfully protested.
Finally as the man of the house, i played down my wife’s fears
concerning the lost pregnancy and made sure she left her pains
behind, but nevertheless i equally was very worried because it was
a bit abnormal to lose two pregnancies in a year.
I couldn’t go to work the next day, but instead followed her to the
hospital where every required test was carried out and all the
results surprisingly came out fine.
“when next she gets pregnant, don’t allow her to stress herself too
much. Your wife is perfectly fine but i believe her body isn’t the
strong type” her doctor calmly advised me.
We returned home hours later, prayed together and hoped for the
best.
The next day i headed to my office to see about three well matured
female students, who looked much more like old models than
students waiting for me. I couldn’t help but imagine what they
came for.
“i hope Comfort hasn’t opened her mouth?” i wondered as i walked
into my office with a worried look.
To be continued.
EPISODE 9
After relaxing in my office for a while, i invited the girls inside and
curiously stared at them.
“good morning sir” they all greeted.
“yea what can i do for you?” i asked with a serious smile.
“we came to introduce ourselves because we believe you don’t
know us” one of them replied while i nodded in approval.
“actually we are students of this great department but we
graduated last year. Unfortunately the old man you just replaced
failed us in his course, forcing us to spend an extra year over it”
she summarized with a pleading look.
“OK i now understand because your faces really look very
unfamiliar” i said with a soft smile which lit up their faces. They all
stared at me hopefully.
“please don’t let us spend another extra year over the course. We
wrote the exam and tried our best in it, but we unfortunately
missed writing the text because we never got any information
about it” she murmured in form of an appeal. I breathed deeply
and nodded.
“write down your names on a paper, I’ll see what i can do” i
offered like a good man. They all breathed deeply with excitement.
“thank you sir” they chorused while i smiled over the way they kept
calling me sir. Of course two of the girls really looked a bit older
than I.
They wrote down their names on the paper, dropped it on my table
and left happily, but as i made to take a look at the paper, one of
the girls showed up again.
“i really forgot to invite to my parents marriage anniversary which
is coming up on Sunday” she said, presenting a small invitation
card to me. I collected it and read curiously. The names on the
card slowly hit my face like a hot slap.
“don’t tell me your father is a former senator?” i asked with
disbelief.
“yea i’m his last child” she replied, while a million questions hit my
head.
“what the hell is she doing, studying in Nigeria. The old man i just
replaced really had some balls to fail this girl. Damn” i breathed as
i weighed the girl before me.
“i hope you are coming?, some senior lecturers including the vice
chancellor will be there. Take advantage of this invitation. You are
a nice man sir” she smiled and left. My face instantly coloured
with excitement.
Just like every young man, I was very ambitious, but i equally
realised that the more ambitious i got, the more corrupt i became.
The invitation really was irresistible but somehow i was very
scared over my intentions and the direction i was slowly heading.
I was still battling with my mind when Comfort walked into my
office with a warm smile on her face. I instantly recoiled with guilt.
“what do you want?” i asked coldly.
“relax sir” she replied, drew close and sat on an empty chair
across my table…..
The damn girl was now like a silly no
.isy mosquitoe i couldn’t kill..

..............
“i’m sorry for barging into your office this early but seriously i do
have a heavy load in my chest i need to offload” she said with a
very light tone. I stared at her curiously, a bit eager to know what
she wanted to offload.
“the way you treated me the last time we met was so totally
uncalled for. You slept with me, used my body to satisfy yourself
and spit at me afterwards. I have been unable to sleep after that
incident. I felt so insulted and hurt. I do like you for who you are
but i just don’t know anymore. I now feel like an abused girl” she
poured out solemnly.
“you know we shouldn’t be having such discussion here at my
office. I have lots of things to do” i said carefully, trying my best to
act cool. She stood up and breathed deeply.
“so that’s all you are going to tell me right?” she asked with a
drawn face, forcing me to look up at her with worry.
“fine we can head to a quiet place far away from the school
vicinity to talk about your problem. Come back to my office by
12pm” i said to her. She shrugged, forced out a smile and left.
I breathed deeply and fell back on my chair.
“God what do i do with this girl. How do i settle with her. Thank
God she’s a final year student. In a couple of months she will be
out of this school and out of my conscience for good” i reasoned.
____
12 noon came faster than i expected. Comfort showed up at my
office at exactly 12:05pm. I quickly closed my office for the day
and took her to a small fast food joint at the other end of the town,
which was far away from the school.
“seriously i really do regret and apologize the way i treated you two
days ago, but you should have expected such behaviour from me.
I’m a married man and you can’t understand how badly my
conscience hurt after that dastardly act. I really should have
helped you and your friend without asking for sexual gratification” i
tried explaining to her.
“i do understand but since it has happened, you shouldn’t kill
yourself over it, moreover i think i’m in Love with you. I have to tell
you the true situation of my heart even though it’s very unusual for
an African woman to express her feelings to a man” she poured
out seriously. I instantly recoiled with shock.
I couldn’t believe my ears, but as her words buried in me. I slowly
smiled.
“of course the easiest way for a woman to get into a man’s head
is by professing her love to him. No she doesn’t love me. Perhaps
she’s after my money or something else. How can she genuinely
fall in love with a married man like me” i reasoned softly.
“you know we shouldn’t be having this discussion. You are trying
to get into my head. Hahahaha i know women” i laughed
nervously. She calmly placed her hand on mine.
“yea i know what i said sounded quite silly and unrealistic. But
seriously after the fun we had some days back. You left with a
part of me” she murmured softly.
“ah Mr Ezubuike! Long time, no see. What are you doing here?.
It’s been a while you know?” I heard a familiar voice greet me from
behind. I instantly looked up to see my wife’s friend smiling at us. I
was shocked and speechless.
I really was so engrossed in the discussion i was having with
comfort that i failed to notice the woman approach. Of course only
a fool won’t notice the suspicious air between Comfort and I.
Comfort however quickly took her hand off me, but it made no
sense at all because she did it very late….
Pls bear with me if I tease too much, it is one of my rules...😜
