THE WEDDING
The Wedding – Episode 15
Theme: Can I Love You?
………………………………
The next day…
Selena got home still pretending to be sad, she went to the room and wore an invisible rubber pant that was given to her.
She made sure no one was around and suddenly started screaming. Nigel and Jean rushed from where they were to check on her.
Nigel: Selena! What is wrong with you?!
Selena: My baby…Help me please my baby, it hurts a lot (she started crying)
Jean: Call the ambulance Nigel, we need to take her to the hospital, my gosh sheās bleeding.
[He called the ambulance and they helped her downstairs, the ambulance arrived in no time and took her away. Nigel and Jean drove to the hospital following the ambulance. They waited impatiently at the reception]
Nigel: This is all my fault
Jean: Stop blaming yourself for everything Nigel, itās nobodyās fault.
Nigel: You donāt understand Jean, I was never there for her. I neglected her and my child and now look what happened.
Jean: If you will just calm down Nigel, you will understand that this would have happened whether you neglected her or not. Besides, you stay with her everyday, you only go to visit Angel once in a while.
Nigel:(Sighs) I really want to be with Rose and my son, yet I donāt know how to do it.
The doctor walked to them, they quickly rushed to him with questioning looks.
Jean: How is she doctor?
Doctor: Iām sorry… She has gone through a lot of stress, she lost the baby.
Nigel: Damn it! Where is she now?
Doctor: Sheās currently resting at her ward over there (he left)
Jean: You should go see her, I have to go inform mom at home.
Nigel quietly went to Selenaās ward, she was lying down with tears in her eyes which really made Nigel feel guilty. He doesnāt love her yet, he should have given her some attention. Ever since he saw Rose, no woman mattered to him anymore.
Nigel: Selena… Iām sorry.
Selena: My baby is gone, I canāt believe it. I just wanted to raise a family with you even though you didnāt love me, I had hoped that I would hold my baby in my arms very soon but now I canāt (she started crying again while he consoled her)
Nigel: Iām sorry Selena, itās all my fault. Please donāt cry, Iām going to make amends for everything from now on… Iām sorry.
Selena: Please donāt leave me(She smiled to herself for a job well done)

Rose sat down in her new office, arranging the files of the patients she is to attend to, a nurse came in with Angel.
Everyone in the hospital loves the baby and his mother, it also helps in concentrating on her work.
Rose: Tessa
Tessa: Your baby is really adorable, I want to quickly attend to a new patient so I decided to bring him back.
Rose: Thanks Tessa. (Collected the baby) Awww my little Angel, letās go out for a walk.
Tessa: (Smiles) Iāll be back for him. (leaves)
Rose: Letās go out my dear.
Harry came into the office just as she was about to leave.
Rose: Harry… when did you arrive?
Harry: Iām sorry I didnāt knock but it was open and Iāve been watching you and your baby for a while now, I really love the bond between mother and son. Thatās why youāre my dream woman Rose.
Rose: (Blushes) Harry, the things you say….
Harry: I mean every bit of them… So how is work going?
Rose: Great… Nice place and good people reside here ( Looks at his hands which are behind his back) What are you hiding?
Harry: Oh… I was actually passing by and I decided to say hi and drop this.
He gave her a very beautiful rose flower, she smiled and collected it.
Harry: A Rose just like you, but not as beautiful as you.
Rose: Thanks Harry, Iām speechless.
Nigel already came out of the ward where Selena was admitted and was on his way to the cafeteria when he saw someone holding a baby in one of the offices.
Thatās because the doors and some other parts are made of glass and can be blocked if the person wishes. He looked well and smiled when he saw that itās Rose.
His smile dropped immediately when he saw Harry, he clenched his fists and barged inside.
Rose: Oh my God, Nigel why canāt you knock?!
Nigel: What are you doing with this J**k?!
Rose: Harry is my friend and I donāt see any reason why I shouldnāt be with him, besides itās my life.
Nigel: Get out punk! I want to talk to my woman.
Harry: The last time I checked you donāt own this hospital or Rose, so you canāt order me around.
Rose: Harry please… please excuse us, I will talk to you later.
Nigel: (Scoffs) Talk to him later.
Harry: If you say so… bye Rose.
(Harry left, a little angry)
Rose: (Drops Angel And faced Nigel) Listen to me Nigel, you donāt own me and Iām not your woman. Harry is my good friend and I like him, stop pestering me.
Nigel: Youāre the mother of my child Rose and the woman I love, I canāt stand seeing you with anyone, especially him.
Rose: I am not your property Nigel, stop claiming me, what are you doing here anyway?
Nigel:(Sighs) Selena had a miscarriage.
Rose:(Gasps) Thatās terrible… How is she doing now?
Nigel:(Smiles) Now you care about her?
Rose: Iām human and Iām not heartless… Iām sorry for your loss, shouldnāt you be with your wife now?
Nigel: Yes… I was going to get some food but I saw you talking to that j**k with my son.
Rose: You can leave now Nigel, Iām all good.
Nigel: Do you really want to move on with him?
Rose: I donāt know yet, but wherever my heart leads me, I will follow. Iām gonna stop hurting and make myself happy, I deserve this much.
Nigel: I can make you happy, I always make you happy, didnāt I?
Rose: Yes but that was before you found out I wanted to dupe you from my very own father.
Nigel: I wanna believe you Rose, I wanna let go of the past and love you.
Rose: Youāre Married Nigel (turns her back on him) Please leave.
He walked towards her and hugged her from behind.
Rose: Let me go, Nigel. This is a hospital.
Nigel: I donāt care… I missed you so much, look at how youāre trembling. Does my touch affect you that much?
Rose: Please let me go Nigel (He kissed her neck) just stop.
Nigel: Are you sure you want me to stop?
He turned her around and grabbed her by her waist.
Nigel: Youāre not saying anything which means you donāt want me to stop, youāre mine Rose.
Rose: You think Iām that easy right? (She pushed him off and went to open the door)
Leave right away.
Nigel: (He walked to the door) Yes Iāll leave… for now. (He quickly kissed her and let go)
Voice: What is going on here?!
Rose: Ke…Kelvin?
Kelvin: Hello baby…
TBC… @everyone
