MY WIFE’S BESTIE
Episode 10
In a period of three months, Lucy reported a positive change in her mental state and sexuality. When Dr Mercy and Laura were notified of the change, they relaxed their visits to once in a week, on Saturdays. Peace, love and happiness had visited my family for the very first time.
Talking about Sandra, she resigned from my work place three months ago, after getting back with her husband, Ben and since then we never saw each other again. She was completely out of my way.
One month down the road, Lucy surprised me with something every husband on this planet would wish for. I had just arrived home from work and found her watering the flowers together with our daughter, Norah.
They both rushed to me.
Norah took my briefcase and car keys to the house while Lucy stood there smiling at me.
” You look happy! What’s going on? ” I asked Lucy curiously
” Honey just guess what! ” My wife, Lucy shouted looking all excited
” What! ” I replied
” Just guess already. ” Lucy said tapping her feet on the ground
” Love! you know I’m not good at guessing, right! So just tell me. ” I replied
“Well, Dr Mercy’s assistant was here this morning with my test results! And It shows I’m a month pregnant. ” Lucy said with a heartwarming smile
” Woohoo! This is the best thing happening in a very long time! ” I said to Lucy
The happiness I felt at the sound of that was uncontrollable. I felt like jumping so high into the sky and screaming to the whole world.
I held Lucy’s arms and said to her, ” I just don’t know the right words to use to make you realize that am really thankful for this. ”
” Ohhhh! I understand you completely. But Dr Mercy and Laura are the right people you should be thanking especially Laura. She’s such a good lady! I didn’t know that my s*x life would ever be normal. ” Lucy said
” You’re right! They deserve the credits. ” I replied
” You know, this Laura seems to know a lot about you! Like each time I tried to praise you, she would supplement the praises. ” Lucy expressed wrinkling her face
” Oh yeah! Actually I didn’t tell you something, Laura’s mother is good friend of my mother, the two shared a lot together years back! And Laura and I grew up together. ” I explained
I admitted Laura and I knowing each other though I didn’t mention about her being my ex girlfriend.
” Oh wow! I see! I was wondering how she knows so many things about you. ” Lucy said
” By the way starting tomorrow, I won’t be going to work because my one month work holiday has finally been granted. So tomorrow we’re meeting Dr Mercy together. ” I said
” Ohhhhhhh! ” Lucy reacted
She took my arm and led me to the house.
The following morning, Norah, Lucy and I got ready and left the house. We passed by Norah’s school and dropped her off at school. Lucy and I then proceeded to Dr Mercy’s hospital.
We were shocked to find Ben leaning towards his car at the the hospital premise.
” Ben ! ” I said in surprise
” Oh Tony, Lucy! long time, how are you guys doing? You both look good!” Ben said looking all excited
” We’re doing well. ” Lucy and I replied at once
” How are you doing? ” I said to Ben
” Am good… Am good! ” Ben replied
” So what are you doing here standing all alone? ” Lucy asked Ben
” Sandra and I came shall be expecting a baby in about five months. I escorted her to see a doctor. ” Ben revealed
” Wow! This is good news. ” Lucy shouted
” So where’s Sandra? ” Lucy asked
” She’s still picking her medications. Oh here she comes! ‘” Ben replied to Lucy
Sandra joined us, we greeted her.
” And by the way what are you both doing here? ” Ben asked curiously
” We’re here to see a doctor as well because Lucy here is…. one month pregnant too. ” I replied to Ben
” Wow! Wow! Wow! I’m happy for the both of you. ” Ben said rubbing his hands together
Sandra’s face dimmed covered with fake smiles at the mention of Lucy’s pregnancy.
” Ben we’ve to go we might get stuck in traffic! Lucy, nice time please! ” Sandra said, opened the car and sat.
Ben waved to us and joined Sandra in the car. Lucy and I went on to meet Dr Mercy and later stopped by Laura’s place.
By the time we left Laura’s house, it was past time to pick up Norah from school. I drove quite fast to get to the school only to find the caretaker locking the school gates already.
I hopped off the car and rushed to the caretaker.
” Hello, I came to pick my daughter! Why are you locking already, is there no one in there? ” I asked the caretaker
” Oh Mr. Tony, your daughter was picked by her aunt, Madam Sandra. ” He replied
I was angry at the sound of the caretaker’s response. I went back to the car and drove to Sandra’s place.
I parked outside Sandra’s gate and Lucy went in to pick Norah.
When we got home, I attempted to hug Norah but my daughter wouldn’t let me touch her.
I thought she was angry because I didn’t pick her up from school in time but I was wrong. The behavior kept on getting worse to the extent that Norah turned disrespectful towards me. She would shout back at me and when I tried to find out what her problem was, she would wear her headphones and turn her back to me.
On Friday morning, Norah wouldn’t let me drop her off to school.
” I’m sorry Dad, I can’t come with you to school. I will wait for the school bus outside. ” Norah stated frankly
” Excuse you! ” Lucy shouted immediately
” You heard me right mummy! ” Norah replied
” Enough of your strange behavior! ” Lucy fumed and slapped Norah. Norah fell down on the sofa.
I rushed to grab Lucy’s hands. Norah stood up and walked out.
” Did you see that! I have been watching this girl disrespect you for days and I can’t take it anymore! Who does that to her own father! ” Lucy shouted angrily
” It’s okay honey! Look tomorrow is weekend, she won’t be going to school. I will try and talk to her. None of us knows what could be bothering her! Just take it easy on her. ” I said
Lucy went off to the kitchen angrily while I followed Norah outside of the gate and watched her board the bus safely.
I was furiously angry and at that point I could tell that Sandra said something to my daughter Norah.
Norah’s act was tearing me apart….
