Dave POV

“Is…. that……my ……son?”

“Alex go inside,” Debbie said.

“Why?” He asked.

“Just do as I said” she said and he did.

“Please stay with him, I will be back soon” she said to the grandma who was standing with Alex.

“Ok” she said and took Alex in.

She moves closer to me, “let talk somewhere private” she said.

“Debbie!” I said. I wanted to touch her but she moved away.

“Want to talk or not” she said coldly.

“Let’s talk in the car” I said while she nod. We both entered the car.

“It’s been five years, I never thought I’d see you again” I said elated.

“Why did you leave?” I asked.

“Because I no longer love you” she said while I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

“What?”

“You heard me right, I left because I was tired of you, you took my family from me, people hate me because of you, do you still expect me to have any feelings for you” she said without blinking or feeling guilty.

“So you ran away because, you hate me?” I asked.

“Yes” she said straightforward.

“For five years, I’ve kept on searching, looking for you badly, thinking you might be hurt but I was wrong” I said clenching my fist.

“Yes, you were” she said with no feeling of remorse.

“That child, is it mine?” I asked hoping for a positive answer.

“No,” she said.

“What do you mean? You left five years ago and that child is also five” I spat at her.

“He is not your child!” she fired back.

“Then who is the father?” I asked.

“A man I fell in love with the moment I left you” she said.

“The day I left, I found another man and we had something and that resulted to Alex” she said as I felt more pains in my heart.

“After you left?” I asked

“Why, are you surprised? It took me only a few days to get on your bed so why are you shocked” she said. That is the kind of person I am” she said.

“Debbie, why are you doing this to me? I get the fact you are angry at me but please stop, please” I plead.

“I don’t know what you are talking about but everything I said is the truth” she said. She is not shaken, she looked calm.

How could she?

“Then where is the father?” I asked.

“He died” she said.

“If that is all, I’ll leave” she said about to leave but I held her back.

“I don’t care if you given birth to another man’s child or not. No, it doesn’t matter, I just need you back. I love you Debbie” I said as tears rolled down. It was neither of happiness or sadness.

“Do I have to said it loud, I don’t like you Dave, I hate you, seeing you disgusts me” she said and jerked my hands off her’s.

“I hope not to see you again” she said and left.

“Ah!” I winced in pain touching my chest. Why does it hurt so much? It feels like there is nail in my heart. The pains won’t stop.

Debbie POV

I couldn’t hold my tears, as I went to my room locked the door and cried my eyes out.

It hurts so much, am sorry Dave, am really sorry. I just can’t put you in that position again. I can’t let you chose again. I love you too.

Am really sorry, I deeply love you.

Few Days Later

Dave POV

I prepared my stuff, ready to leave this place. I know this place will bring me nothing but pains. Her words, burning my body like fire, it pierced my heart like knife, all her words brings was pains.

Pains that I will never forget, pains that will be struck in my memories no matter how hard I try to forget.

“Sir, someone is here to see you” faith said.

“Who?” I asked and Alex entered.

“Alex?” I called surprised.

“Mister, you are a liar. You said you will come to visit me but you are liar. Is it because I talk too much? You said you like me but you don’t” he said crying

“It is not like that” I said.

“Then what? Why are you leaving without seeing me” he said crying while I went to him, carried him and hugged him.

“It is not like that, am not going to leave you” I said.

“But how come you are?” I asked.

“The mister there brought me, he said you are in pain” Alex said while I smiled at faith who was fidgeting with his fingers.

“Would you like something to eat ?” I asked.

“No,” he said.

“Why? Are you not hungry?” I asked.

“No but am afraid that if I eat too much, you’ll leave” he said.

“Of course not, I won’t” I said.

“Stay here, I will be back” I said putting him on a chair.

“Stay here” I said while he nod.

“Faith follow me,” I said and we went to a room.

“Thank you so much, you don’t know how happy I am” I said.

“It is ok, but the child is not yours so what are you going to do?” He asked.

“I don’t believe her, she is lying” I said.

“How do you know that, sometimes it is good to let go” he said.

“Think about it, I have never been attracted to kids before, Alex is the first. I can’t let him go like that, am sure he is mine, he’s my son” I said.

“My instinct tells me that” I said.

“But your instinct is not going to let you have him, him being here with you is called kidnapping” he said.

“I know, am also frustrated” I said.

“You still have a chance, DNA test?” he offered.

“Yes, of course. Thanks buddy” I said and hugged him.

“I can’t breathe” he said gasping.

A Week Later

(At ayoola hospital)

“Mr Dave” the doctor said and shakes hand with me.

“Here is the result,” he said and hand it over to me.

I opened the envelope and my eye widened, I feel disappointed.

Debbie POV

I sat down at a chair, just returned from work and my body hurts.

I heard a knock on the door, “Alex mind getting that door for mommy” I said.

“Ok,” he said and opened the door.

“Dave, what are you doing here?” I asked surprised.

He held Alex’s hand, “can you go wait for me in the car” he asked.

“Why will my son go wait for you?” I asked.

“Please, me and your mommy needs to talk” he said ignoring me.

“Ok” Alex said and followed Mr faith.

“Where are you taking my baby?” I asked.

“Here” he said and threw me a envelope.

I looked at him, surprised and scared.

“Dave, I….can…. explain” I stuttered.

“Explain? what are you going to explain. How the child you claim not to be mine, how his DNA match up with mine?” he said angrily.

“I have my reasons, I did it for you, because of your family” I said.

“My family, Debbie I was ready to give up everything to be with you, I didn’t even care about my family, did you think it doesn’t affect me but I was ready to give up everything for your sake” he said as his eyes become weary.

“Dave, am sorry” I said crying.

“You know what makes me angry the most, the fact that you told my own child that I was dead. Wow, am really surprised, how could you be so cruel, how could you tell such lies to our child. You made him believe he had no father, am sorry but I can’t forgive you for that” he said.

“I love you Debbie, at a point I was hoping he wasn’t mine because I don’t think I will be able to forgive you if he was. Am sorry Debbie but I have to do this” he said.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Am taking my child away from you, I can’t trust you with him. If you lied that I wasn’t alive then you could do worst.

“Am sorry but I can’t allow my child to stay with you” he said.

“Dave, please don’t” I said kneeling holding his knees.

“He is my happiness, everything I ever wanted so please don’t do it.”

“If he was your everything as you claimed you won’t have lied, am sorry but I have no choice” he said removed my hand from his clothes and head outside.

I followed him but it was too late as he entered the car and he drove off with my baby.

“No, don’t take my child” I said crying.

“Am sorry, please don’t”
