Episode 34
Tania: âI donât understand a word you are saying. Did Bella tell you all these, you must know that she is a pathological liar and has been jealous of me for a long whileâ she said, thinking words would get her out of the conundrum she has found herself.
Police man: âWhatever you have to say, you will say it at the police station. Now quietly follow us or we will be forced to apply forceâ he replied.
Then it dawned on Tania that she was done for, if her husband heard any of this, he would have doubts and no matter how hard she tried to clear her name, he would always have doubts.
Tania: âPlease, how much do you want. I just found out that I am expecting a baby, my husband will be overjoyed, and this is just going to ruin the news. Please, any amount I will payâ she pled as she was led out of the hospital, with the doctors and patients gawking at her being handcuffed and taken away.
Police man: âYou are wasting your time, and even compounding your crimes.
As we speak, your husband is being informed as we found that the boy in question is his sonâ the police man replied her brashly.
Tania: âThis is Bellaâs handiwork, no doubt. Are you going to listen to that b—h?â she exclaimed, but the policemen did not reply her anymore.
Damilola was confused and distraught. He had been happy when he found out that Dayo was his son. It meant he still had a chance to redeem his past mistakes, but having waited for a week without Dayo showing his face, he was convinced that something had happened to the boy. It hurt him to find out that Dayo did âalabaruâ when his father had plenty.
Damilola: âForgive me Lord, I was foolish. Forgive me Khadijat, I didnât know better. My friends had their girlfriends abort babies, I didnât understand why you were adamant about doing same, I thought it was the norm. Please forgive meâ he sat and cried in a corner of his motherâs apartment. He felt a hand on his shoulder and when he looked up, it was his mother.
Damilolaâs mother: âHow long are you going to beat yourself up about this. I think no matter the lives that was lost because of the decision you and Khadijat, bless her soul, made, it is time to forgive yourself and move on. Thank God, your son is still alive, pick yourself up and go look for your sonâ she admonished. When she was done talking, she told him that his phone was ringing, it was the reason she came. He thanked her and checked his phone, he had a missed call from his wife and another strange number. He thought that perhaps Tania wanted to nag about him abandoning his life and searching for Dayo, if Gberan could do it, why couldnât he? He didnât understand why Tania was nonchalant about Dayoâs plight, didnât she love him? If she didnât why did she take him out? His doubts about the accident arose again, but he pushed them aside and called back the strange number. The first words he heard shattered his world.
Damilola: âHello, Damilola here, who am I speaking with?â he asked.
Police man: âYour attention is needed urgently, your wife has been arrested for a number of charges, among which is the deliberate ploy to harm a minor by name, Dayoâ the policeman on the other side of the phone said. Damilola was stunned, he allowed the phone drop from his hand and shatter on the ground.
Damilolaâs mother: âWhat is it, omo miâ She held his hand, but Damilola did not say a word, tear drops just fell from his eyes like dominoes.
The motherâs shouts brought Gberan from the other room, and he joined in asking Damilola, what had happened.
Damilola: âMy own wife tried to kill my sonâ he said, with glazed eyes that stared into space.
Gberan: âI donât understand you, what do you mean?â he asked.
Damilola: âWhat donât you understand, donât you understand or do you shy away from the possibility?
Tania my wife tried to kill Dayo! The accident was a deliberate incidence. The police just called, she has already been arrestedâ he said hysterically.
Gberan: âI canât believe thisâ he said, but he felt relieved, because he had thought that Bella had something to do with the accident. It was no news that Bella didnât like Dayo.
Damilola: âThis must be Godâs way of punishing meâ he said and began to cry. Gberan felt piteous towards him, he had never seen a man look so broken.
In prison, Tania was allowed only one phone call, it was expected that she would call her husband or her lawyer, but she called none of them. She called Skyby
Question:why will Tania feel calling Skyby is the solution
