DISASTER
Chapter 8
There’s something I want to discuss with you my husband.. Angela told Nelson after one week of Dora’s demise
Dora’s mum has been the one taking care of the twins, she always ad tears on her eyes whenever she’s bathing them
What’s it? Nelson asked combing his hair
I don’t want Dora’s children in this house anymore, their mother is gone and her burial will commence in one month time, please take those things away from here.. Dora’s mother should take them to her house,I’m done talking.. Angela stated
Nelson was shocked,he dropped the comb and faced Angela
Can you repeat what you just said now? He asked picking his belt
I didn’t say anything but….
But what? Did I even marry you? Do I know your parents? Just stay away from me and those kids if not,if not Angela or whatever your name is I’ll disfigured you
Angela eyed him, stood up and left the bedroom
The sight of those twins irritates Angela, she felt those children were obstacles to her, she vowed to fustrate their lives
Neme waited for Sam to return from work, she has been waiting and standing for long
She dialed his number and he picked up almost immediately
Ain’t we going to see my parents again? She asked tapping her feet on the floor
I’m driving,I’ll soon be home, hope everything is ready?
Please come home and stop asking rhetorical question.. she replied and ended the call
Neme has decided to marry Sam after several pleadings from Sam and her mother Mrs Cynthia
She had her plans anyway, she sat in the parlour patiently waiting for Sam to come home
Sam came back, dropped his suitcase
Let’s go and visit Nelson first,we can go from there to see your parents..he told her adjusting his tie
Nelson’s place? For what again? She asked widening her brow
Please we need to go, it’s getting late
Sam.. she called
Yes, please let’s go haba
Neme didn’t reply, she wore her sandals and followed him
Sam I called you here to ask you something very important.. Nelson said pressing his phone
I’m all ears..he replied
Dora’s people asked me to pay her bride price before arranging for her burial,is that right? He asked lifting his head
Of course.. Neme chipped
Why? Why do I have to do that when she’s no longer living, isn’t that a waste of money? I’ll still spend during her burial oooo
Yes Nelson,you have to pay her bride price before the burial because she got pregnant for you,you even wedded her so do the needful.. Sam said
Nelson nodded,he stared at Neme and closed his eyes
Heard you guys are getting married soon
Yes dear Nelson and the bride price you paid will be returned to you soon.. Neme replied feeling hurt
What if I refuse to collect the money, what if I need you back? He asked smiling
Never Nelson, she’s pregnant for me already.. Sam responded standing on his feet
We are not fighting please but don’t bother returning the bride price because I want my wife back..
Nelson over my dead body will I ever be with you again,you that almost took my life,you must be joking… Neme told him going outside
Sam followed her immediately
I don’t know why you brought me here Sam, please let’s leave
A day before Dora’s burial Angela went into labour, she was lucky Nelson was around,he was arranging the parlour when Angela screamed his name, calling him all sorts of names
Nelson didn’t mind but rushed her to the hospital and left after receiving a phone call from his parents
Not quite long Angela put to bed a baby girl, she got angry the moment the doctor told her that her husband left immediately he brought her
She waited patiently for him,he came back in the evening with her friend Julia since he doesn’t know Angela’s family,he dropped Julia and left immediately
Wow this baby looks like his bilogical father Emma… Julia told Angela
You talk a lot,you want the whole world to know that this child doesn’t belong to Nelson, don’t put me in trouble abeg.. Angela begged facing the wall
Calm down madam, Uche denied the pregnancy you carry am rub Nelson for body, you be bad girl ooo.. Julia laughed
Angela didn’t respond, she was tired and at the same time thinking about what her friend Julia said
Your co-wife will be buried tomorrow nah.. Julia said
Let her go there and rest,by the time I leave this hospital and Nelson doesn’t take those things he calls his children away,I’ll put them in a big bag and dispose them.. Angela said bluntly
Those kids are his, this one here doesn’t belong to him, don’t throw his kids away if not I’ll expose you myself.. Julia told her dishing out food for her
Don’t dare me Juliana, don’t even dare me.. she warned
Madam carry your food..
Angela collected the food, hissed before eating
The next day which was Dora’s burial, everyone that knows her didn’t fail to attend,roars,screams from different angle was heard
Dora an epitome of beauty was lowered down the grave, her mum was heartbroken her only child has been buried
