***MR LECTURER S2***
Episode 40
I returned to my house with a very heavy mind. i was so hungry, scared and uncertain of what next to do. Jessica hugged me as soon as she saw how scared I looked.
‘’I believe she’s hasn’t showed up yet?’’ she asked. I nodded and shrugged.
‘’that girl is just out to ruin us. We really need prayers’’ she breathed, and of course that was what I definitely needed the most. I needed God’s help in dealing with the situation. I couldn’t believe Comfort disappeared to take her own life. i just didn’t know what to believe anymore.
‘’dear LORD help me. Help and lead me to the right path. Haven’t I suffered enough?. I have learnt my lessons already. Please I beg of you, help me out please’’ I prayed earnestly.
———-
I woke up the next morning with a terrible headache. It was as if someone was hitting my head from inside with a hammer. I couldn’t even get out of the bed. Jessica as usual was very concerned and caring.
‘’I think you should take a rest today. You haven’t relaxed for quite sometime now. Please stop stressing yourself’’ she begged as she gave me paracetamol which I took and slept off again, waking hours later to see her dressed for outing.
‘’I’m going to the hospital with our daughter. Mum will accompany me because we will spend some time with dad at his house. You know we haven’t seen him for a while’’ she explained with a sweet smile.
‘’okay dearest just be careful when you leave the house’’ I added softly. She stared at me with surprise, drew forward and kissed me.
‘’is there anything you aren’t telling me?’’ she asked.
‘’no, but be careful when you leave the house’’ I said once again.
‘’I guess you will be at home till we return?’’ she asked.
‘’I really don’t know’’ I muttered with a deep breathe, remembering Comfort’s mother. I knew i had to check up on her.
——————————————-
Barely twenty minutes after my wife left the house with her mother and our daughter. I heard a loud knock on the door. I lazily dragged myself to the door, wondering who could be knocking so loudly. But as I opened the door I got the shock of my life. Standing before me was no other person than comfort.
She looked so unkempt, dirty and horrible but I was so overjoyed on seeing her.
‘’my God!, where went you?. Where have you been?’’ I asked. she instantly drew back with surprise in seeing me. It was as if she wasn’t expecting to see me but nevertheless quickly regained her composure, pushed me back into the sitting room, and gained access into my apartment in the process.
‘’where is Jessica?’’ she asked murderously, giving me the impression that she was out for a dangerous mission.
‘’she isn’t here, let’s go to your house’’ I stammered, drew forward and tried to hold her. She instantly backed away, pulling out a pistol which she aimed at me dangerously. My heart froze. I couldn’t believe it. I just couldn’t believe it.
‘’my God!, Comfort where did you get that from?’’ I asked with disbelief, not knowing what to do.
It was very obvious she knew what she was doing even though she looked like someone who had lost her mind. But no matter what I felt, she still was dangerous with the weapon of death she held.
‘’where is Jessica?, where is the stupid witch that killed my baby”’ she demanded furiously. I stared at her like a cornered rat, not knowing the best step to take. Of course I knew she wasn’t going to shoot me but the courage wasn’t there to reach forward and take the gun from her. Moreover I still was shocked to see her with such deadly weapon. For her to have such a thing meant she definitely knew how to use it.
‘’where is Jessica?’’’ she barked again,cocked the gun and headed to the bedroom in search of my wife who she probably felt was hiding.
Using the little opportunity her turned back presented, I dove and held her strongly, reaching for the gun, but she was a bit stronger than I expected, fighting bravely to free herself.
I was stronger and in no time my right hand was on the gun but just that same moment two shots rang out, sending me down with a sharp pain.
All I heard next was a loud cry from Comfort as she threw the gun and held me..
‘’noooooo my love. Noooooo’’ she screamed as she tried to hold me up. I tried to talk but couldn’t.
The room soon blackened out. I lost consciousness..
