*Episode 13*
Nurse 1: “Madam, na because your
daughter no breathe again na him you come dey shout anyhow? Don’t you know some other patients are on
admission here? You don’t have to shout and wake them up. We called you more than an hour ago, you are just coming here now and you are here screaming. Is your daughter the first patient to die in this hospital? Mtccheeww”
Mama Samantha: “I rebuke you agent of the devil. My daughter is not dead. My God cannot allow my daughter die”.
Nurse 2: “It’s okay, madam, I will call the attention of the doctor right away”.
The doctor and the nurse ran to the
ward where Samantha was lying
unconscious. Mama Samantha wanted to go into the ward with them but she was prevented by the doctor who said it was against the rules of the hospital for relatives to be around when the doctor was on examination.
After some examination, the doctor
realized that Samantha had fallen into a coma again and was finding it very difficult to breathe. She was placed on an oxygen machine and when some tests were carried out on her mother, they realized that her blood matched her daughter's and she willingly donated to her daughter.
After Dozie left home with his travelling bag, he went to his parents’ house to collect his International Passport from his father who had seized it when he refused to get married to Eno. He had already booked a flight online and he was due to travel back to Canada in few
hours time. His father was having a cup of green tea when he came in.
Baba Dozie: “Ah, see who we have here; the latest groom in town. One would think that you will be so preoccupied with your honeymoon that you won’t even come out today”.
Dozie: “Dad, can you just cut that groom crab? It irritates me”.
Baba Dozie: “Okay, son. I see that you are not in the mood for jokes this morning. Come over and make yourself a cup of hot green tea, it will help calm your nerves”.
Dozie: “I didn’t come here for tea, dad. I need my International Passport and other travel documents in your
possession”.
Baba Dozie: “What is the hurry in that? You want your travel documents, you have them but you have to wait for me to finish my tea first”.
Dozie: “Oh common, dad. You can just go give it to me and come back and drink your tea in peace”.
Baba Dozie: “No, son. You met me
drinking the tea didn’t you? So, you have to wait for me to finish up. First things first”.
Dozie: “Dad, I have a flight to catch in
about an hour’s time”. He screamed at his father who was preoccupied with sipping his tea.
Baba Dozie: “A flight to catch? Where to? Are you travelling outside the country with your wife for honeymoon”.
Dozie: “What wife? Dad, I am not a child anymore. You forced me into this marriage and now I can’t even travel when I want?”
Baba Dozie: “Of course you can travel only that this time around with a different condition”.
Dozie: “What condition?” he asked
suspiciously.
Baba Dozie: “As a married man, you
either travel with your wife or you travel with her permission”.
Dozie: “What? This is so unbelievable…”
He was still talking when his mother and wife walked in.
Mama Dozie: “So you are here. What was that unruly behaviour you put up
yesterday? Why did you have to chase your wife out of the house at that time of the night?”
Dozie: “Mum please. I am really not in the mood for all these right now”.
Mama Dozie: “I really do not care what you are in the mood for. All I know is that you are going home with your wife and that you will never repeat such madness again. I don’t know what has come over you”.
Dozie lost his patience and began to
snap. “You don’t know what has come over me? Of course you know.
Dozie: What were you thinking when you succumbed to pressure and forced me into this marriage against my wish? I am tired of being the sacrificial lamb in this family. Look at Emeka over there in Canada, you
people do not interfere in whatever he does and yet he is older than I”.
Mama Dozie: “You didn’t have a choice but to marry Eno. Her mother was threatening to go to the Police and the press and that could have ruined my political aspirations”.
Dozie: “That is it, mum. Ambitions and aspirations, that’s all you know. Nothing about my feeling. Now I am stuck with a woman I hate for the rest of my life”.
Baba Dozie got up from where he was sipping his tea and made for his room.
Baba Dozie: “Forget about getting your travel documents until you learn to live in peace with your wife”. He walked upstairs to his room, leaving Dozie speechless.
30 minutes later, Dozie drove home with his wife in silence.
Samantha got out of coma with a start, scaring her mother who rushed to call the doctor. She had been in coma for 9 hours after she had the blood transfusion and all that while her mother who was praying and interceding for her never left her side.
Samantha: “They got married, they got married and left me single”.
Mama Samantha: “Calm down my
daughter. Remember that the doctor
said you need rest”.
Samantha: “They got married, mum.
Don’t you get that?”
Mama Samantha: “Who got married and why shouldn’t they?”
Samantha: “Eno got married”.
Mama Samantha: “I understand how
painful it feels that your friend got
married without informing you. But
don’t worry, your time will come”.
Samantha: “She married him”.
Mama Samantha: “She married who?”
Samantha: “I will kill them, I will kill them all!”
Samantha suddenly became violent and attempted to get up and remove her drip. The nurses came around and gave her an injection and she went to sleep immediately.
Dozie kept to himself after they got
home. He avoided Eno like a plague and when he went into his room, he
remained there watching TV ignoring
Eno in the sitting room. Tired and
frustrated, Eno went into the kitchen to get something to eat. She saw two packs of noodles and some eggs and she decided to fix herself some. She thought of Dozie and remembered that one way to a man’s heart was through his stomach. She decided to ask him if he was interested. With her heart pounding hard against her chest, she went to Dozie’s bedroom. At the door, she stood for few minutes before summoning courage to knock gently. When there was no response from within, she turned the knob and went in. Dozie who was watching his favourite team play on
SuperSport ignored her.
Eno: “I … I … er, you know, I just wanted to … to ask if you will like some noodles”.
There was a pause that felt like eternity and Dozie ignored her. Embarrassed by his insensitivity, she walked out of the room to the kitchen. She had just finished preparing the noodles and was
about frying her eggs when she heard her phone ring. She ran out of the kitchen to the sitting room where the phone was charging and while she was receiving the call, she saw Dozie tip toe to the kitchen but she ignored him. When she got back to the kitchen after the call, she saw Dozie in the kitchen.
Eno: “What! Dozie, what are you doing to my food?” She asked with shock and disbelieve. Dozie stood still when he saw her for he didn’t hear her footsteps approach the kitchen.
*FRIENDLY ENEMIES*
*Episode 14*
Eno: “What in God’s name are you doing to my food?”
Dozie: “What in the devil’s name does it look like I am doing?”
Eno ran to him and attempted to grab
the pot of noodles from his hands but he shoved her aside and emptied all of its contents into the trash can.
Eno: “You are wicked! How can you
throw my noodles away? What did I ever do to offend you in this world?”
Dozie ignored her and walked out of the kitchen leaving her sobbing behind.
Eno: “God will punish you, wicked man. You threw away the noodles I made to eat, that is sheer wickedness, nothing more”.
Dozie untouched by her reaction walked away to the sitting room and began to watch his favourite television show. Few minutes later, Eno walked out of the house to an eatery without saying a word to Dozie in the sitting room.
One month later Samantha was making steady recovery in the hospital, she was however preoccupied with the thoughts of the betrayal from two people she
trusted a lot. The doctor had told her
mother that her daughter was holding on to some grudges which was affecting her psychologically and that was slowing down her recuperation. Most times, they had to force her before she could eat and even swallow her medication. The
hospital had threatened to discharge her if she refused to cooperate with them.
The medical director came to her
bedside to speak with her when
complaints of her violent attitude were getting out of hand.
Medical director: “And how is my patient doing this morning?”
Samantha: “I don’t know, doctor”.
Medical Director: “And why is that? Any pains anywhere?”
Samantha: “I don’t give a damn about
pains. I want to die, I am tired of staying alive.”
Medical Director: “Why have you lost the zeal to live? As a medical doctor, you should know how important being hopeful is to a patient’s recovery.
Anyway, I heard that you have refused to take your drugs and that you get violent and pull out drips, that is so very wrong. Even though you are a patient, you should also remember that you are a doctor and this is not the best way to behave. So, brace up and pull yourself
together and you will be out of here in no time”.
Turning to her mother, he said.
Medical Doctor: “Madam, pull yourself together and encourage your daughter through this”.
Mama Samantha: “Doctor, why is she
behaving like this? Is my daughter ok?”
The doctor patted her on the back and walked away.
Mama Samantha touched her daughter on the hand and stared into her eyes.
Mama Samantha: “My daughter, please don’t do this to yourself, it is not the end of the world”.
Samantha: “All I know is that I will take my pound of flesh, they will never enjoy that marriage”.
Mama Samantha: “Don’t talk like that,
vengeance is the Lord and ….”
Samantha: “Oh please, mum. Just hold it there. I will have my pound of flesh myself, I don’t need God to help me”.
Eno came back to the house to discover that Dozie had moved her things from his bedroom. She tried to engage Dozie in a conversation with the aim of finding out where he had moved her things to but he was adamant and she had no choice but to go looking for them herself. She found them in the guest room and she came to meet him in the
sitting room.
Eno: “Why did you move my things to the guest room? We are married and we should stay in the same room together”.
Dozie ignored her and continued to
press his phone.
Eno: “Answer me, I am talking to you!”
Dozie suddenly got up from his chair and charged at her. Just before he got to her, he stopped.
Dozie: “Will you allow me watch this programme in peace? Stay out of my way and out of my room, whore!”
He grabbed his phone and walked out. That night, Eno could not sleep as her mind kept pondering on Dozie’s coldness towards her. It was cold and she needed to be with her man but the fear of his reaction kept her away. She thought of calling her mother, the only confidant she had to inform her of the situation of things between her and Dozie but she thought against it because she knew that her mother was good at blowing things out of proportion.
"Mum will just come here and make trouble now and I am not sure that will be the solution”, she thought aloud. Immersed in her thoughts, she remembered that she had lied to Dozie and his family that she was already pregnant and her heart
sank. “How will I keep up with this lie?
Very soon his mother will be expecting my stomach to start swelling. What will I tell them? I thought we would start making love immediately after marriage so that I can take in. What should I do
o?” She paused for some minutes and let out a sigh. “Okay, I know just what to do”, she said. She got up from the bed, changed the long sleeve and long trousers pyjamas that she had on and wore a see through transparent nightie that enhanced her curves.
She kept her cosmetics and smeared on a pepper red lipstick, her Ferrari perfume was handy and she sprayed it generously. She was going to seduce her husband in her matrimonial home and she needed all
the charm she had to do that. She stood before the standing mirror and the face that smiled back at her impressed her.
Her ebony skin shone under the
reflection of the bright bulb and her
sparkling red lips appeared irresistible.
“Lets see how he will resist all these
good things”, she said turning around
and catching a side view of her bum in the picture. Confident of her irresistible charm, she walked towards the direction of Dozie’s bedroom. When she approached the door, she stopped for a while to catch her breath for her heart
was beating furiously. She tried to calm her nerves but the harder she tried, the more disorganized she became. Back then in her room, she had been so confident that her charm was enough to sweep Dozie off his feet but standing close to him with just the door and the walls separating them, she felt uncomfortable. She thought she was
bold but there was something about
Dozie and his cold looks that discomfited her. Anytime he stared at her, she felt his eyes penetrating her souls and laying bare the innermost secrets of her heart and she couldn’t stand it. She raised her hand to knock on the door but her strength failed her. She felt drained and
couldn’t bring herself to turn the door
knob either. She stood there for five
minutes and she could hear his deep
baritone voice humming West Life’s
Soledad. She heard him move and she felt her legs quiver; she ran back to her room and collapsed on the bed in tears.
Mama Samantha decided to leave
Samantha’s bedside to go and shower in the general bathroom. All day, she had been afraid of leaving her daughter’s bedside because she had been behaving
violently and being a private ward, she was alone with her daughter in the room. She peeped at Samantha and she saw that she was sleeping peacefully, so she thought. As soon as her mother went out, Samantha got up from the bed, removed the drip she had on and tip toed out of the room. “I am coming for them, let me see how they will live to enjoy that marriage”, she smiled mischievously grabbing her mother’s veil, she disguised herself, picked up the knife her mother used in cutting
oranges for her, wrapped it in the veil
and walked out of the hospital gate.
Eno sat in her room all day. She was mad at Dozie for throwing her love back at her without any consideration for now she felt. She thought of her supposed pregnancy and she knew she had to do something fast as that was the only
thing she could use to hold Dozie
ransom. She picked her phone and
dialed her mother’s handset.
Eno: “Hi, mum”.
Mama Eno: “Hi, baby. How are you and your husband”.
Eno: “Mum, just forget about that one. I am as good as a widow”.
Mama Eno: “What is the matter again this time around?”
Eno: “Let’s leave that for another day. I called for something more important”.
Mama Eno: “Okay, bring it on”.
Eno quietly opened the door and
checked around to make sure that Dozie was not eavesdropping on their conversation. Assured that he was nowhere around, she close the door and continued talking. “The pregnancy mum, how do I keep up with that lie?” She said......
Dozie's mother and political ambition....Mtccheeww. Samathan, what is she about to do? Ha, you can't leave God out of this o, listen to your mother! Vengeance is the Lord's.....
