NANCY’S TEARS
Chapter 6
Nancy gave birth to a premature baby girl, she died immediately she was born Nancy was ever grateful likewise the doctor
She lay on the doctor’s laps telling him how she felt like giving up the ghost both of them laughed out loud
What next Nancy? He asked touching her hair
What next how? You wanna chase me out? She asked laughing
Not that,I think you should go back to school…he said scratching his hair
School? I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer but my aunt deprived me of that, she always picks me up from school by 10 o’clock everyday to hawk pure water and cold drinks.. Nancy said smiling
Doctor Charles didn’t say anything,he was silent for awhile and then said his mind
“By next term you will go back to school Nancy” he replied
Nancy stared at him hugged him tightly jumping up and down
Take it easy Nancy,you are not yet strong..he said laughing
I’m strong Charles, even much stronger than you.. she said laughing
Doctor Charles laughed and swinged her round the room…
Eno went to market to get something for her madam, she was about paying for the meat when she saw someone who looked like Nancy
Eno went closer to her and screamed
Nancy! She screamed
I’m not Nancy but uchechi… Nancy lied
It’s a lie, Nancy it’s you..
Nancy turned and left the place still looking back to see if she was tracing her
Eno got home and called Jacinta out “I saw Nancy at the market today”
Are you okay,dead Nancy..
Nancy is not the dead, she is alive I even saw the mark you gave her with knife…
Lies,you saw Nancy’s ghost please I’m busy inside.. she replied and left
Eno held her nylon tightly,bit her lips and went inside
Jacinta’s husband came back from work in the evening, Jacinta told him what Eno said earlier
She must be insane…Mr Christopher said swallowing his food
I think so, she really scared me today and even my Melissa nobody knows where she is..Jacinta said and bursted out crying
Mum enough of all these, can’t you see we are eating? Immaculate shouted
You’re talking to your mom immaculate.. her dad warned
A murderer? A murderer can’t be my mum… Bethel said and dropped his fork
Hold your son Christopher.. Jacinta shouted
Bethel stood up and left the dinning table followed by immaculate
That’s what you brought up.. Mr Christopher told his wife
Jacinta looked at him and sighed, she left the dinning
Nancy got home and told doctor Charles what occurred “She must have told your aunt everything by now” he said
Their business.. Nancy replied serving his meal
I got something for you..he said bringing out something
He brought out a nylon and dropped it on the floor asking her to open it, Nancy didn’t hesitate to open it, the nylon bag was filled with clothes and her new school uniform
Thank you very much Charles my youngest doctor.. She praised
You’re always welcome..he replied
Doctor Charles was already falling in love with Nancy while Nancy was also hiding her feelings
Doctor Charles dropped Nancy in front of her new school, she was about entering the school compound when she collided with Melissa
Jesus Christ! Melissa screamed
Lissa! Nancy exclaimed
Nancy you are alive..Lissa said touching her
Of course Lissa, what are you doing here? Nancy asked overwhelmed
It’s a long story Nancy I’ll follow you to wherever you are staying my madam wants to kill me.. Melissa said yawning
You look tattered and unkempt please let’s go.. Nancy said and dragged her inside the classroom
What is it Melissa, how come you now stay with someone else? What happened?
My mum strangled me and I pretended to be dead, she dumped me inside one of the empty rooms
Gosh! Your mum is wicked Melissa, she strangled her own daughter.. Nancy said
My mum sleeps with Eno…
What do you mean? Your mum sleeps with Eno? Nancy asked
Yes Nancy,Eno isn’t a good person I’ll tell you everything when I’ve eaten.. Melissa replied yawning
