Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22
âs carry him to the car!â Mwewa screamed at the company Auditor.
The Auditor shoveled up the back with his arms while Mwewa lifted the legs and carried Mr Binwell Tembo to the car outside.Mwewa instructed Mr Binwell Temboâs driver to steer down to the City Hospital.
On the way,Mwewa searched for Mr Binwell Temboâs phone which luckily had no password and called Majorly.He personally did not own a phone at the moment,since he left Mwakaâs apartment without it.
âYes Father,â answered Majorly.
âHave you left for school yet?â Asked Mwewa.
âNot yet.Whoâs this?You donât sound like father,â said Majorly.
âWhere are you?â
âAm still at my fatherâs house.Who are you?â
âCome down to the City Hospital,father just collapsed,â said Mwewa.At this point Majorly knew this was Mwewa for he called Mr Binwell Tembo his father too.
Majorly went like âWhat?What happened?â
âJust come to the hospital, okay?âsaid Mwewa.He guessed Mr Binwell Temboâs sudden break down could be cancer complications related.But he couldnât disclose Mr Binwell Temboâs health condition against the old manâs wishes.He thought it best for Majorly to find out about her fatherâs heart breaking health disorder perhaps later this afternoon when she would come to the hospital.
A few minutes later,they were at the hospital and a medical team rolled Mr Binwell Tembo on a stretcher into an emergency room.A nurse kept Mwewa and the Auditor in a bench outside the ER.
Majorly rushed into the hallway to the ER and found Mwewa and the Auditor in the bench.
âWhat happened to my father?â She whined.
Mwewa stood up to talk with her,â relax.We are waiting for the same report.â
Standingly they both waited silently for someone to come out of that ER and tell them something.Minutes later,a lady came out with a stethoscope in her hand.
Marjoly blocked her way,âwhatâs wrong with my father?â
âOh,you must be Mr Binwell Temboâs daughter right?â guessed the doctor.
âYes,please,â said Majorly.
âYour father has regained conscious after some elevated levels in his BP but we are keeping him here as he is in the last stages of his health condition.We need to prevent him from getting too depressed again,â said the doctor.
âExcuse me?â Marjoly puzzled up,â what do you mean â heâs in the last stages of his health condition?â
âGo in and talk with your father for a minute,I will talk to you later,okay?â said the doctor.She sensed Marjoly had no idea about her fatherâs disorder.
Majorly hurried into the ER.Mwewa followed with the Auditor.
She couldnât hold back her tears seeing her father in a stretcher.
âFather!What happened to you?â She held his laid right hand.
Mr Binwell Tembo held her back with his left and said,âam fine now, darling.Am alright.â
âYes you are alright now.You have to be for me,right?â Said Marjoly.
Mr Binwell Tembo forced a faint smile.Inwardly he felt the pain but was really trying to hold it.Though lately, Marjoly had roughly thought about his unexplained weight loss which she mistook for work stress.He had ever hated to imagine himself disclosing his health status to his daughter.He really despised the feeling of seeing her worry about him.But now, feeling that he would not make it to his medical life expectancy,he losened his secret to let his daughter know about his troubles.
âYes am alright,â he began and stared into the ceiling,âbut the doctor said that I wonât be able to live the six months I was expectedâŠâ
âFather!What are you saying?â
Mr Binwell Tembo glanced at Mwewa and then turned his head back to his daughter, âAsk your husband,he knows my condition.â
âI donât understand,father,â Majorly felt confused though she began to think something was really bad here.Sheâd have sought a clear answer but the medical team pleaded to let them take him out of the ER.
âExcuse me,madam.Heâs been just admitted and we need to commence treatment right now,â said a nurse who came to roll the stretcher.
Mr Binwell Tembo said to Mwewa,âhelp me tell my daughter about what has left of me.And when you done,go back to work and work with the Auditor.Come back here after work,with my daughter, I have something important to tell both of you.â
Majorly tried to follow the stretcher but she was left standing in the center of the hallway.Mwewa walked up behind her and said,âheâs gonna get well.â
âWhatâs wrong with my father?â Asked Marjoly without looking behind her.
âLetâs go to your car,â suggested Mwewa.She agreed.
The Auditor waited in Mr Binwellâs car and was instructed to tell the driver to wait too for Mwewa.
Mwewa sat in the passenger seat next to Marjoly in the driverâs.
âFather warned me not to tell you about it because he thought it would hurt you badly and affect your studies ,â began Mwewa.
âAbout what?â Marjoly was both nervous and curious.
âFather has Colon Cancer stage 4..â
Marjoly looked in Mwewaâs eyes hoping to see it a lie even though she knew he wouldnât make a lie for such a thing.
âCancer?â She asked.
âYes.He told me the last time you brought lunch to my office.He also told me that his personal doctor had medically proven that he would not live more than six months,â said Mwewa.
Marjoly stared in the windscreen speechlessly.She felt a weight in her heart as it pumped profoundly.She lost her strength and leaned her forehead over the steering and sobbed softly.Mwewa put his arm over her back.
When she was done sobbing, rubbing her eyes, Majorly said,â I need to be alone.â
âHoney,I need to be by your side now more than ever,â said Mwewa.
âWhat do you care!â Said Marjoly.
âMarjoly,heâs my father too,â said Mwewa.
âI said I need to be alone,â she told him.
âOkay..â said Mwewa and got out of Marjolyâs car.He went to Mr Binwell Temboâs car and told the driver to take him back to SD Rides.
âGet me all the reports against Daniel,âMwewa ordered the Auditor when they reached SD Rides.
Later in the evening,back at Danielâs house,Mwaka had been trying to escape from underneath the house.
She had been in the basement not knowing the duration of her stay in the cellar.It was too dark in there to distinguish a day from a night.
But she had used her senses of touch to locate a third hand cupboard that felt in her hands as the door of the basement.Actually the used cupboard covered a small window of the Cellar,and it was that prevented light from getting into the room.
She kept pushing the cupboard thinking it was the door she could break open.But it was too hard to break by pushing.Eventually she tried to pull âthe doorâ and the cupboard moved an inch.Her hopes went high and she kept pulling until she realized she had been pulling something else,but there was a small window without burglary behind the object she had been pulling,that shed through a little electronic light from the flurocent tubes outside .She broke the window with a spade she found in the Cellar and squeezed herself out of the basement through the window.
On the other hand,Mubita had plans to get into Danielâs house to search for the Tittle Deeds.On the way into the yard,he spotted Mwaka trying to get away.He gave her a chase.
She took him down an alley and curved away into a tared two-lane road that it could take a minute for him to see her running up the main road.She was screaming all the while,âhelp! help! Somebody help me!â
Nobody came to her rescue until she almost bumped into the on_headlights of a car that braked emergently into her shadow.
âHelp me!please!â She hit her fists over the boot.Hesitatingly,a door to the car opened and Mwaka jumped in, panting and choking.She sank herself in the passenger seat next to the driverâs.
âWhatâs wrong?â Asked a voice from the back passenger seats and Mwaka,frightened for once thinking it was the person persuading her,she looked behind and popped out her eyes into Mwewa.
âMwaka?!â
