EPISODE 6
“I can’t leave my family I have just realized that I don’t want to loose them. As I speak to you now my mother in law already packed their things out of my house. My marriage is almost gone and I’m so scared, I have to fight for my family and it won’t work if I am holding two things in my hand. Even the bible says you cannot serve two masters at the same time, as for your friend I’ll compensate her for everything and give her the go ahead to ab-ort the baby because she wanted it in the first place” Matthew said.
“And he even quoted the bible” Prisca said and heaved.
“What happened to her? He asked.
“I don’t know because I wasn’t at home. Neighbors said she was attacked and beaten at home which led her to this state” Prisca replied.
“Has any bills been paid? He asked.
“Our neighbor managed to pay a little thing to begin treatment on her, there are still bills to be paid which we have to refund the money back to her. I called Debbie family and they are coming down tomorrow”, Prisca replied.
“You’ll send me your account number, I’ll send 300,000 into it tomorrow to clear any bills here. She’ll be okay”, Matthew said.
“Thank you, Prisca said.
“Its okay, I have to go but I’ll visit tomorrow, Matthew said…
…………….
The next day Debbie opened her eyes and saw Prisca asleep, “Prisca, she slowly called out and Prisca woke up.
“You’re awake? How are you feeling now?” Prisca asked touching her.
“I know she did this, she fulfilled her threat” Debbie said and Prisca rolled her eyes.
“Wait here I’ll go get the doctor for you” Prisca said.
“She will pay for what she did to me” Debbie said and Prisca shook her head and left to get the doctor.
After she was checked, Prisca received an alert from Matthew, “you know I am doing all of this things because I put my primary reason first why I’m a doctor which is to safe lives, you haven’t paid anything yet” the doctor said.
“Don’t worry doctor I just received an alert, I’ll go pick it and pay for everything. Thank you so much” Prisca said.
“Sure we’ll be waiting, the doctor said and left.
“Alert from who and where?” Debbie asked immediately.
“Just rest I’ll be back” Prisca said, took her bag and left…
…………………
Matthew visited after Prisca left and saw Debbie awake, Debbie seeing him frowned her face and looked else where as Matthew went closer.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked but she was silent.
“In case you are wondering how I knew you are here” Prisca called and told me what happened, he said.
“Prisca really or your wife?” She asked.
“Take her out of this, she had nothing to do with what happened and I am so sorry for everything” Matthew said.
“She has nothing to do with what happened after she threatened me a day ago and i was beaten up this way again yet she has nothing to do with this huh?” Debbie asked.
“My wife can’t do this, I believe whatever she said was to make you scared to leave me, but I know she can’t do this”, Matthew said.
“Oh stop this rubbish! What has come over you? Just yesterday you promised to meet up with me so we will plan our baby future together, you kept me waiting and ignoring my calls only to see nonsense messages from you breaking up with me. What about our baby? What happened to you?” Debbie shouted.
“What happened is I want my family back, I was wrong and everything we had was all wrong! My family is what I need now and I no longer need you or the baby you are carrying, I don’t want to loose my family and I’m so sorry for that. Whatever amount you want as a compensation I will give to you, but I am seriously calling off everything with you Debbie” Matthew said making Debbie surprised.
“So she finally cooked the charm well, I can’t believe you are saying this to me after all the sweet tongues and promises you poured to me” Debbie said.
“I will be sending 500,000 naira to your account, that will be enough to say goodbye to you. Use that to go ahead with the ab-ortion you wanted having, take care Debbie”, Mathew said and left leaving her mouth opened…
………………
Prisca returned and cleared all the bills, went to Debbie room but found her in tears..
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling pains or should i call the doctor?” Prisca asked confused..
“The pains in my heart can’t be cured, imagine that man has left me and asked me to ab-ort the baby that he’s done with me. Its now he wants his family after all he has put me throu-ghdumping me like trash”, Debbie said and Prisca heaved.
“Seriously? In Case you didn’t know, you lost your baby yesterday so you are no longer pregnant. And you should know he was married with kids yet you still fixed your head there having high hopes because he had money, what were you expecting? He has finally returned back to his wife and family, if i were you I will forget about him, move on with my life and have my own man, Prisca said.
“I lost my baby?” Debbie asked surprised and Prisca nodded.
“Don’t give me that look on your face, you called for it” Prisca bringing out the drugs she bought and kept it on the locker.
“Really? Why always me?” Debbie asked and she looked at her and smiled, she brou-ght out the fruits salad she did and gave it to her,
“I remember you told me not to take the relationship personal saying you are just having fun and you can’t possibly fall in love with him or marry him, what are you thinking? Don’t tell me you fell in love with him?” Prisca asked..
“Yea yea you think its that easy huh?” Debbie asked and Prisca burst out laughing.
“That wasn’t funny at all, but thinking about Matthew dumping me in such a condition without having pity on me su-cks” Debbie said.
“You are lucky he didn’t dump you without conscience, he paid for the hospital bills and I still have balance left which I will hand everything to you” Prisca said.
“He paid for the bills just to shut my mouth up so I won’t go after his wife when she’s the cause of all this” Debbie said.
“You’re crazy girl, his wife is equally in the hospital, she gave birth to a male child now you see the reason why he dumped you. Forget about this man, you almost destroyed his home and you should be glad you survived this because any women can react to it” Prisca said.
“Point of correction, I didn’t do anything. He destroyed his home himself” Debbie said..
“Fine let’s say he did, now he’s gone get over it and forget about him Deborah” Prisca shouted.
“Whatever” Debbie said eating and her phone beeped.
Prisca checked it out and saw it was a alert, “that should be my goodbye message right?” Debbie asked.
“I think it is” Prisca said giving her the phone.
“This will push me far anyway, finally its all over” Debbie said.
“Sure it is, now don’t be stupid again to run after sugar daddies, you may get unlucky to meet the pepper daddies” Prisca said and Debbie laughed.

“I think it is” Prisca said giving her the phone.
“This will push me far anyway, finally its all over” Debbie said.
“Sure it is, now don’t be stupid again to run after sugar daddies, you may get unlucky to meet the pepper daddies” Prisca said and
“But it was fun right? One thing I know is I must get married to a rich guy” Debbie said winking at Prisca who shook her head.
“Then imagine girls running after him too” Prisca said.
“He can’t do that” Debbie said and scoffed.
“Anyway your family will be coming down today, I informed them about what happened” Prisca said.
“What! Why did you? In fact call them back and tell them I’m fine” Debbie said.
“They have the right to know” Prisca said.
“Know what? What will I tell them? Please call them back ooo” Debbie shouted.
Prisca heaved and dialed her mom number, “let me talk to them myself” Debbie said getting the phone from her as the phone was ringing.
“My daughter how are you? We are on the way coming”, Debbie mom said on phone and Debbie rolled her eyes giving Prisca a big five on her face.
“Mommy good morning” Debbie said.
“Deborah is that you? How are you? Don’t worry we are coming to see you”, her mom shouted.
“Mommy don’t worry yourself I’m fine. Prisca was just scared but don’t worry yourself about it” Debbie said.
“No I won’t accept, you were beaten till coma and you are telling me this, I am already on my way there, see you soon bye” Her mom said and dropped the call while Debbie looked at Prisca surprised who was busy smiling.
“I was beaten till coma?” Debbie asked.
“Of course, it was obvious” Prisca replied laughing.
“Prisca you know how my mom behaves na, she’ll start bombarding me with questions that will give me fever” Debbie said and a nurse walked in.
“Start taking your drugs now so you’ll have the strength to answer her questions” Prisca said handing the drugs over to the nurse.
“Was she able to eat anything?” The nurse asked.
“Only fruits, but can she eat any thing heavy?” Prisca asked.
“She wasn’t operated, if she can eat then its fine”, the nurse replied.
“I don’t think I can, my head still hurts”, Debbie said.
“You were hit on the head but don’t worry you’ll be fine”, the nurse said giving Debbie her Tablets.
………………..
Matthew asked the gateman to take him to the hospital where Veronica is, “are you sure this is a good idea sir?” The Gate man asked.
“What do you want me to do? Fold my hands and see my family leave me without doing anything?” Matthew shouted frustrated.
“Your wife mother, you know she’s a mad woman and who knows if those bouncers will be kept there to protect them against you” The gateman said.
“I don’t care, she is still my wife and I have every right to see her else I’ll cause a scene there” Matthew said and the gateman nodded.
………….
They got to the hospital and Joy, his first daughter sighted him entering the hospital.
“Aunty that is daddy coming”, Joy said to Princess pointing at him..
“Daddy! Marvel, his second daughter shouted seeing his father which Princess quickly covered her mouth and took the kids out of there.
“what’s the problem?” Veronica asked seeing the way Princess hurried got in with the kids and locked the door behind her.
“Daddy is here”, Joy replied and Veronica eyes bulged out.
“What is he doing here?” Veronica asked.
“Mommy I want to see my daddy, I want to see my daddy please”, Marvel cried making Veronica weak which Princess looked at her wondering what her decision will be.
“Mommy! Let’s go meet him, daddy is looking for us” Marvel said bringing back Veronica.
“No we are not meeting him, now keep your mouth shut” Veronica shouted.
“But he’s my daddy” Marvel shouted and began to cry.
“Princess please inform my mom about this”, Veronica said trying to keep Marvel shut.
“I’ll be back” Princess said and left the room before Veronica could say anything…
Princess met with Matthew while she was on call, “yes he’s here, bring the police along” Princess said staring boldly at Matthew.
“Tell the police to bring the D.P.O along, she is my wife and I have every right to see her” Mathew shouted.
“You can hear that right? Please be fast” Princess said and dropped the call.
“I am not afraid of you or the police and you know that. Now where’s my wife?” Matthew asked.
“Your wife? You have no wife Matthew after maltreating her and almost killed her with the baby. Did you think twice when you pushed her down? Did you care if she had fell on the ha-rd tiles? Did you care or have pity on her when she was in pains and your kids were crying on her? Did you bring her here in the first place? Now are you sure you are still her husband when her properties are no more in your house? If you don’t leave this place Matthew I will run mad with you in a way you will leave here in pieces. Get out! Get out now! Somebody help me, he’s hara-ssing me”! Princess said falling on Matthew making it look like he was fighting her.
“Can you please leave here now sir, you’re making a scene here and its not convenient for a place like this”, some attendants said showing Matthew the door.
“You know I’ll be back”, Matthew said to Princess in anger.
“Get out! And the next time you show your face here you will regret it. She’s not your wife” Princess screamed and the men took Matthew out.
Stepping outside he met with Veronica mother who just arrived, “welcome ma”, he said but received a slap as a reply from her.
“What are you doing here?” She sternly asked.
“She is still my wife, we are still legally married” Matthew shouted.
“So you were aware of that yet you cheated and treated her wrongly putting her life at risk. I swear to God if you don’t stay clear from my daughter I’ll kill you myself! Get out of here”! She shouted pushing him out.
“Please leave sir your presence is not welcomed here” people around said.
“Can I please talk to her please?” Matthew pleaded.
“Get out! You will see none of their faces till you die” Princess shouted and the men escorted him to the car to leave the premises.
“If that man comes here again and you let him drive his miserable self in, I’ll leave with my daughter”, Theresa told the men and left for Veronica room.
She got in and saw Veronica crying with her daughters, “what’s going on here?” Theresa asked.
“My children has been crying to see their father and I can’t help it, looks like my decision is affecting them and i shouldn’t have dragged them into this”, Veronica said.
“Are you sick in the head or something? They were dragged into all of this when he abandoned them and cared for his brat rather. Joy was sick and admitted but he never visited till she returned, and yet he called them prostitutes which father will say that to his own children? If you want to go back to him you are free but I won’t let you take my precious grandchildren to that bastard” Theresa shouted.
“Grand ma I thought the pastor always preach that we should forgive and forget, I remember you’ve always been telling me that too, right?” Joy asked in tears that Veronica looked at her.
“You want to go back there to him? You are ready to forgive your father?” Theresa asked.
“But he’s my father, we can’t do anything about it”, Joy replied.
“Veronica what do you think?” Princess asked.
“You still want him to be your husband?’ Theresa asked.
“Where ever my children want to be there I will be”, Veronica replied.
“Gosh I can’t believe it” Princess exclaimed.
“OK so you will make him your husband again after what has happened?” Theresa asked.
“I am not going back there as his wife, I am only doing this for my children. We will be only housemates please understand mom” Veronica said.
“Fine, its your marriage not mine and I think i have no right to come in between it anyway, I only want your safety and that of my grand children. He said he wants to make things right and I don’t know if that is true, But if he goes on with his madness don’t think twice of leaving him” Theresa said.
“I will, thank you. Best friend thank you” Veronica said but Princess only nodded and held Marvel.
“You’ll see him soon okay, are you happy now?” She asked and Marvel nodded.
“That’s good”, Princess said and a knock was heard on the door.
Princess opened up and the doctor walked in, “I’m sorry for what happened earlier” the doctor said after replying their greetings.
“Its okay, how is my baby?” Veronica asked.
“Actually that’s why I’m here, he will be brou-ght out tomorrow. The boy is such a wonderful boy”, The doctor said and Veronica happily screamed..
“Can we see him please? Theresa asked and the doctor smiled…
…………
Matthew got home like a drained fowl, he couldn’t think straight anymore that he didn’t even notice the driver was already home waiting for him to leave the car.
“Sir are you not going out?” The driver asked him bringing him back from his thoughts.
He slowly left the car, went in and drowned himself with alcohols.
………………
Debbie mother arrived, called up Prisca and she left to pick her.
Entering the room she announced her presence with a scream seeing the bandage on her daughter head,
“who the hell did this to you? Who did this? What happened?” She asked touching her.
“Mommy I’m fine it was just an accident”, Debbie replied.
“Accident at home? Or Did a car drove in and beat you up at home? Debbie you want to lie to me ba?” She shouted.
“Ah mommy why are you sounding like this? I was robbed since they couldn’t get anything from me they decided to beat me”, Debbie said and her mom looked at her.
“So they only attacked you in the whole compound? I hope you didn’t snatch another woman husband Debbie because I’ve been hearing news that you are now a big girl on campus and you don’t even call home anymore to ask for money. Deborah Deborah! How many times did i call you? You are lucky they didn’t remove your eyes stupid girl”, Debbie mother said angrily leaving Debbie shocked.
“Mommy I don’t like this kind of talk o, so if I snatched another woman husband is it your business? Is that not how you snatched one woman husband who entered the farm and pursued us with machete, so who I resemble now? Abeg don’t talk to me like that” Debbie shouted back.
