Doctor Dapo had gone to concrete roof to puff , some few sticks of his Sarony cigarette, he had received a park or those from his friend and patient, Senator Boniface Edidiong, who often teased him, asking him how a good doctor like him could indulge in a bad habit of smoking .
“Something must kill a man Senator , if a fine stick of Sarony can be my undoing , I’ll joyfully return to mother nature , man just have to indulge in some of this vices , drinking smoking , or womanising , I choose this vice .” They both laughed it off .
Senator Boniface made sure Dapo got his pack of Cobhams cigarette every month . a pack cost over eighty thousand naira.
He blew up the blue smoke of the rich cigar as it wafted Into the air , he respected his work space and couldn’t smoke there , he had spent his earliest days in the profession in the US , where work ethics was held in high standards. You couldn’t be cut smoking in the hospital.
He wasn’t a chain smoker , he just loved to have one brown stick of the fat cigar . He checked his watch , it was almost his closing time , he had not had a difficult delivery section like had just had ,today . What odd family , why would the inlaws be acting all so suspicious? he was one who believed the woman, yes he didn’t believed in God or any supernatural being watching the universe , because he couldn’t see them , he only believed in what he could see . he couldn’t see God or whatever people called it this days , because he cannot appear , only faith faith , but he wasn’t a man of faith , but a man of science he wanted evidence, but they couldn’t give him any evidence .
But for voodoo and witchcraft he had seen it firsthand when he visited his paternal grandmother, he was attacked by forces .
Only if he could see Afonja standing just behind him with Nike, they waited patiently for him to finding his cigar and went back to his office .
Doctor Dapo was biracial, almost as white like his mother’s Caucasian skin . his mother was from America , his parents and siblings still resided in America . But his love for Nigeria and Africa made him come back to work at Serenade private hospital in Lagos .
The hospital was modern with all new modern medical equipment and technologies , a favourite place for Nigerian elitist who didn’t wish to fly to America or England for treatment .
He had gone into his bathroom to take his bath , and dresses in a navy blue suit, sky blue shirt and red tie , he was looking extremely beautiful. At thirty eight he was yet to settle down , he wasn’t a player , but then he didn’t want to rush into marriage.
He had finished talking to his long time girlfriend, and put his phone into the pocket of his suit , when suddenly he felt the presence of entities standing behind him .
He swirled around to face the two monsters standing behind me .
“What the heck? you beast what are you doing here ?” Do they looked dirty and filthy he knew who they were . They were the parents of the couple he had sent out of the hospital.
“A flie that refused to listen , will join the corpse into the grave !” Afonja said pointing at him . “My grandchild is mine to do whatever sacrifice what is your business Oyibo doctor ? your busy body has gotten you liked already.”
“Get the hell away from me weirdos!” doctor Dapo screamed .
“Shut up where do you want to run to ? wherever you go we’ll follow , moreover how did we get in since your door is locked fool!” Nike cursed . “Since you can’t mind your business, you’re going die this afternoon.” she hissed
immediately Afonja and Nike turned into two black cats and launched at Doctor Dapo , she shrieked and tumbled over his office table as they attacked him , sharp claws digging into his face . He fell over his office chair , the cat wife and husband climbed on his body and began to bite and attack him .
His screams brought staff and security personnel in the hospital running to doctor Dapo’s Office , but he had locked the door from inside , they tried breaking into the door , it was a beat difficult because the door was an original German bullet proof door .
