Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 15

Perpetual ran into the Hospital screaming.. “ahh! They’ve killed my son.. Did I not warn him? They’ve killed him oo”

The nurses ran out and held her

“Madam please reduce your voice, you’re disturbing other patients..”

Perpetual kept screaming till the Doctor came out.

“Whats the name of your son Madam?”

“Uchenna oh.. Uchenna Ohakwe”She cried

The Doctor looked at the Nurse on Duty

“Nurse Loveth, any Uchenna Ohakwe here?”

“Yes Doctor, the young man that was rushed in here few hours ago brutalized”

“OK.. Lead her into his ward but make sure she doesn’t disturb him”

The Nurse nodded and led Perpetual into Uche’s ward.

She met Azeez and Hadiza there… Uchenna was bandaged from head to toe..

“Plz madam, don’t disturb him”Nurse Loveth said and left.

Perpetual looked at Azeez and Hadiza as they greeted him.

“Was it you that called me on phone?”She asked pointing at Azeez

“Yes MA”He replied

“Haaa which trailer hit him like this??”She cried and Azeez kept quiet

“Am asking you… Where’s the driver that hit him? Is it you??”

“No Madam… Actually, how do I put it? He was beaten up..”

“By who? Who’d beat up a human being like this??”Perpetual asked wide-eyed

“My Father’s boys”Azeez said and Hadiza nudged him, giving him signal not to talk

“I don’t understand o… Who is your father and why did he beat him up like this?”

Azeez hurriedly left the ward to avoid the Woman’s preying questions.

Perpetual turned to Hadiza and held her firmly by the hand.

“Young Lady, you don’t know me and am sure you wouldn’t want to know the type of person I am.. So tell me, what happened to my son?”

Hadiza groaned in pains as Perpetual firmly held her hand.

Hadiza told Perpetual everything she needed to know and gave her Alhaji’s home address…

ALHAJI USMAN’S RESIDENCE

Alhaji ordered for the release of Fauzi. She was brought out as she faced her father in the sitting room.

“Fauziat Allah knows I love you and all these that am doing is for your own good.. I want you to stop proving stubborn and adhere to my instructions. I am not just a Muslim, I am a well respected Sheikh.. What would people say when they hear that my own daughter is getting married to a Christian? Fauzia think! Don’t put me to shame.. I don’t want to impose anybody on you but just look around.. Alhaji Shehu’s son’s are all doing well.. Pick one of them and I’ll bless your marriage.. Anybody but not that boy.. Not Uche”

Fauziat looked at her father in anger

“Baba I have told u before, am telling you now and I’ll keep telling you.. it’s either Uche or no one! He is my soul!!”

Alhaji looked at her in a disappointed manner

“OK then, we shall see”He stood up and walked out of the house with his guards who drove him away.

Fauziat was crying in the sitting room searching for her phone to call Azeez to know his whereabouts with Uche when she heard noises at the gate..

She ran out and saw the security men dragging a woman outside as she was screaming and cursing them.

“Leave her..!!”Fauzi ordered ND they left the woman. It turned out to be Perpetual, Uche’s mother.

“Good evening MA”She greeted scared

“Swallow your greetings you daughter of Jezebel.. did I not warn you to leave my son alone? From the moment I saw you, I knew u were big trouble.. All these borno terrorists! Devil in human form!! Now see what u caused him.. I can barely recognize my own son.. Bandaged up like a corpse!! Where is that heartless father of yours? I heard he is a military man that’s why he has the guts to beat up my son in such a manner.. All am saying is, leave my son alone.. He will never marry you.. Leave him alone!!”She screamed and gave Fauzi another slap and pounced on her but the security men bundled her up and took her outside..

Fauzi went inside crying her heart out.

Is this really how love is? Pains and obstacles all over..

CHIEF FELIX’S RESIDENCE

Jide drove in with Janne and Juwon and ushered them into his house.

His mother was sitted in the Living room with Yetunde.

Janne courtseyed and greeted her

“Welcome my daughter.. seat down”Motunrayo said to Janne.

“Mom this is Janne, the lady I told u about.. And this is Oluwajuwon my son”Jide said to his mom.

Motunrayo carried Juwon up “How are u my child?”

“Fine”the boy replied looking down

“Call me grandma”Motunrayo said to the boy

“Does it mean I have two grandmas?”Juwon asked looking around confused..

They all laughed.

Chief Felix came downstairs and they all greeted him.

“You’re welcome..”He said to Janne

“Bring the boy to me”He told Yetunde who was already playing with Juwon. Yetunde brought him to Chief..

“There’s no need to argue.. Immediately you see the boy, you’ve seen Jide.. This is his photocopy! And he even has my nose”Chief said and they all laughed..

Chief told Janne all that happened.. how he was responsible for Jide’s disappearance as she put it.. He further apologized to her on everyone’s behalf..

About 30mins later, Pascal came in.. Seeing Janne there, he was taken aback..

“What’s happening here?”He inquired

“Is that your greeting?”Chief queried

Pascal apologized and greeted his parents..

“Well this is your brother’s Fiancée and this is their son”Motunrayo said pointing at Juwon who was laughing with Yetunde.

“What Fiancee? Mother this is my Fiancee.. The one I want to marry!”Pascal exclaimed

He moved over to Janne “baby didn’t u tell them?”

“Tell them what? Last time I checked, you called off the engagement after learning about me and Jide”…

Everyone was quiet..

Chief cleared his throat.. “Pascal, this is your brother’s wife-to-be..Just leave them alone in peace..”

“No father I won’t! not after Jide ruined my own happiness!!”He barked

“What are u talking about?”Jide asked
