Episode 21
âwho was thatâ Kelvin asked after i ended the call.
âIt was a friendâ a simply said and turn sideways.
He understood that i didnât want to talk and he shrugged and continued driving.
4PM the next day.
âKel, i want to go somewhereâ
âOkayâ he replied and faced the other side of the bed.
âare you still angry about yesterday? well am sorry, it was Vivian that called meâ
âwhat did she say and why didnât you tell me it was her initiallyâ he questioned.
âwell, she asked me to meet her at Oliveâs garden, that we have alot of things to catch up onâ i said to him and he brightened up.
âmy regards to her and the babyâ he said the last part like someone that his tongue was glued to his mouth.
âI will, well time to get dressed and head outâ
âsorry i canât go with you, i have to hang out with my friends tooâ
âthatâs not a problem, even if you didnât have any appointment, i wouldnât even let you comeâ i said backing him and picking out my cloth from the wardrobe.
âoh! Your girly talksâ
I smiled at him âtrust me you donât want to hear them, we discuss things like the latest fashion, pregnancy and childbirthâŠâ
âlalalala, i donât want to hear the detailsâ he said playfully covering his ears.
I started getting dressed and in no time, i was on my out of the house.
I get there earlier than scheduled to actually sit down and think straight.
What could be troubling Vivian to make her cry like that? Vivian was someone who was always capable of handling her emotions, she hardly cries and when she does it was always tears of joy but that of yesterday was different.
I racked and racked my brain but i couldnât come up with any reasonable explaination to why she had cried like that.
The only thought that kept coming to my mind was that she has lost the pregnancy.
I just hope itâs not true, God, help her, let this not be true!
Vivian later came and when i just saw her, i knew that all was not well, she was looking distressed, she wasnât the Vivian i knew she was looking some how hagard, not hagard as in hagard but she was under dressed.
The Vivian i knew always maximize any opportunity she has to flaunt her curves and her endownment.
She removed the dark glasses she had on and i could see dark circles under her eyes.
âVivian whatâs wrong, what happened to you, why are you like thisâ i asked three questions at the same time, she just kept quiet and sighed.
âSorry i kept you waitingâ she said after a while.
âV, talk to me, whatâs wrong, talk to me, am your bestfriend, your confidant, please talk to meâ
âKola has another wifeâ she said loudly.
âwhat!â i tried to say more words but nothing came out.
âhow did you find outâ i finally found my voice.
âhis phone rang yesterday and since he wasnât close by, i picked it and the caller, a female didnât even wait to hear me talk, she just said that his kids are ill that his attention is neededâ
âdid she tell you who she is to himâ i asked.
âNo, i cut the call immediately i heard thatâ she said amidst sobs.
âCheer up girl, itâs not the end of the worldâ i said holding her hands.
âhere i was thinking that i was carrying his first child, i wish i wasnât even pregnant with this childâ
âdonât say such a thing, it might not be his first child but it is yours so be happy about it, you will soon carry your child in your hands, isnât that enough reason to be happyâ i said trying to cheer her up but she began crying instead.
âWhatâs the point of carrying a child when you donât have a husband to support youâ
âV, you have a husbandâ
âI donâtâ she replied vehemently.
âV, Kola is your husbandâ
âHe is not and was never my husband, i canât bear the burden of being a second wife, itâs just like am a love peddler or somethingâ she said with bitterness in her voice.
âV, stop it, he is still your husbandâ
âhe is not, i already moved out of his houseâ
âDid you confront him about the kids issue before even leaving the houseâ
âThere is nothing to confront him about he will only lie to my face thatâs allâ
âso, how did he react when you packed your thingsâ
âhe had no idea, when he wasnât around and i switched off my phoneâ
âV, that wasnât the wisest thing to do, you should have atleast talked to him and hear him out before deciding if you should leave the house or notâ
âI have left the house for good, there is nothing left for him to explain, he has kids, finalâ
I got a text message from my phone from Kelvin, he was asking me if we were stilll at Oliveâs that he was coming over with Kola.
I replied him âYesâ without telling Vivian, i knew she would be angry if i told her, but i did not care, all i cared about was for Vivian and Kola to get back together.
I looked at Vivian and she was still crying âI wish i had listened to you when you told me to know him better before marrying himâ
âthis is not a time for regrets, just try and be strong for your babyâ i said while wiping her tears with my face wipe.
