I MADE HIM FALL IN LOVE WITH ME β€οΈ
HEART OF VENGEANCE ππ
CHAPTER 12
I had to stay home on the 31 December to care for my mother because she fell sick seriously some days ago.
“Mom, please take this medicine first before sleeping oo
“Have I not taking it before?.” She asked looking pale.
“You haven’t so please take it ma.” I said and get water for her.
“Thank you my pikin.” She said holding the water cup with her shaking hands.
“I have told you severally to be resting a while at home, just see how you are shaking today of all day when we ought to go to church for pass over night.
“We can go na, sickness can’t stop me from going to worship my father.” She said laying back on the bed.
“if you still haven’t recovered fully I don’t think I can allow that ooo but for now just take your time and sleep abeg.” I said leaving her to sleep and go outside to pour the dirt in her recycle bin away.
Florence and Anita have been calling me to know about my next move and I have sat and thought about The two decision and just doesn’t have choice than to do it, most especially the Gabriel own in other to earn money for my mother health because I can’t stay back at home without doing anything while she’s sick. I believe everything that is meant to happen will surely happen and this is just one of my new year challenge I will be facing. Imagine staying back home on the 31 just to nurture my mother who is sick, her doctor said she shouldn’t go out until she’s fully recoverd. I know the amount I have spent on her illness and I wouldn’t want something that will incurred more challenges for her. Having a lower back pain is such a delicate thing that can hinder someone from doing most things in the house.
I believe and prayed that she will be fine by God’s grace. I sat on my bed and checked my account balance seeing that it’s palatable to see and my mother drugs needs to be bought before it finished. The same private number that as been calling me called again and still I didn’t pick it because the person won’t say anything. At this moment I can’t really figure out my mood if I’m happy or not but I believe I will be scaling through it in no time. A text message popped up and it’s written like this, I HOPE YOU’RE DOING FINE? I dialed the number and it was switched off.
“Who is this person for crying out loud! why is this person not wanting me to reach out to him or her abi is the person stalking me or what? or probably around this house all the time.
I stood up and look around our surroundings if there’s anyone there and it turns out that know one is there. I heard my mother calling me and ran back to meet her.
“Mom, what happened?.
“Abeg one of my customer just called now that she needs 10 create of mineral, shey you can go and sell it for me?. She said.
“I can, but you know I can’t leave you only at home because you will need my attention.” I said adjusting the pillow behind her back.
“Don’t worry, just go I will be fine my dear. Quickly go and answer her please.” She said pointing towards her bag behind her door to take her shop key there.
I don’t know why some mother’s will not want to forgo their business when they’re sick and focused on be heal first but instead their mind will be at their shop as if the sales they will not sell at that moment will last forever. So, I took her key and go down go get shop to meet the said person, she bought exactly the 10 create and with just the 10 create I sold I felt the heaviness on my body. I now understood the struggling behind her back pains if she should be carrying more than 10 create to different customers per day. Mother’s are really trying seriously especially this my mother. I’m ready to stop this business for her to give her money to start a stress-free business instead of this, but before I could do that I will have to work for Gabriel to get the 1.5million to establish it for her.
“God, the only thing I’m seeking now from you is to heal my mother and Grant her good health because she must enjoy the fruit of her labourπ€°Amen!.
Some Hours Later
Vero called me if I will be chanced to come see her in her house that she has an urgent matter to discuss with me. I told her I wouldn’t be able to come as my mother isn’t feeling well.
“Can I come over then?.” She asked.
I paused for a moment and think if it would be a good idea because I don’t want anything that could indulge my mother life.
“Don’t worry, I will come see you tomorrow.” I answered.
“Okay, no problem then. Please, when coming you can come with passport.” She said.
“My passport, is it a visa passport?.” I asked.
“No, your normal photo passport.”
“For what?.” I asked.
“It is for a purpose okay, when you come you will know about it.” She answered.
“Okay,” I answered clumsy.
“Bye”.
“Bye”. I said as I ended the call. What did she wants my passport for? I don’t want any issue abeg ooo
ππππππππππππππππ
This is the first time in my life I will be entering new year at home, I believe it’s well no to God and the purpose will be restored back in testimony. My major thanks to God is the gift of life, I’m so grateful for his guidance for the previous year over my life and mother.
Around 2pm I set out to go Vero house after settling things in order for my mother, I told her I will be back in no time. I boarded a Cab heading to Festac and while in the cab Florence called to ask about my mother health after shouting happy new year excitedly.
“She’s getting better thanks.” I answered.
“I think this is the right time she needs to stop that her business ooo.” She said.
“I know, but where is the money Florence?.” I asked.
“Why are you talking like this Anita, you have a great opportunity to earn money and you’re saying where’s the money. See, babe I don’t mind helping you out in anyway you want just for your happiness, at least I have encountered how your mother worked in and out just to provide for you while in school so, why won’t I help out at this point.” She said and I exhale struggling to hold back my tears because she just reminded me of my long time struggling.
“It’s okay Florence and thank you for your consideration, I want my mom to get better more before I embark on the Gabriel work.” I said.
“I understand okay so just take your time and I will also come check on her doing weekend okay.” She said.
“Okay thank you babe.”
“My regards to her ooo nothing will happen to her in Jesus name.” She prayed for her.
“Amen oo thanks babe.” i answered cleaning my tears with my handkerchief. Take care na, bye…bye”.
I ended the call facing the front of the car at the stop of the traffic light. After some minutes to the green light I looked beside me and saw Gabriel car beside the cab as he looked away immediately I saw him.
“Is he following me or what?.” I asked looking at him with my side eyes.
The green light showed up and he drove away speedily. I laughed and see that a message was sent again by the same unknown person written that STOP CRYING PLEASE I almost jumped up in fear as I look behind me maybe the person is sitting in the car and realized I’m the only passenger. I look at the concentrated driver and know he couldn’t have send it because he has been driving all along and he is the only one that will know I just cried.
“Abi Dem don fix camera dey watch me somewhere?.” I touched my body and quickly put off my location on my phone. This one don turn something else ooo who is monitoring me around Jesus? because na only you I fit ask like this ooo
Some Moment Later
I called Vero that I’m at the front of her house as she ordered their maid to bring me inside. immediately I stepped into her compound I saw the earlier car that belongs to Gabriel, I wondered what he could be doing here or perhaps it might not be his car. The maid open the sitting room door ushering me inside as I almost lost my balance seeing Gabriel, Vero brother, Vero father, judge and Vero herself sitting on the couch as all eyes are on me.
“Good afternoon…..sir..” I said stuttering with a pondering heart wondering what is actually going on.
TBC.
