Epic 30“You need me for what? If the baby needs blood why don't you get one for her, aren't you her father? Donate blood to her, do something to save your daughter”, I shouted at Leo, annoyed.“You won't understand, please!!! If only you can stop nagging and come help at the hospital, before I lose her, please!!!”, he said and I became more annoyed.“Why on earth won't I switch off my phone for you right now? I am going through a hard time, let's all learn to deal with our problems, don't add yours to mine, all of a sudden you have my number, and you call my digits right, but then, when I needed your help, where were you? You bluntly turned off your phone on me, and now you want me to come to donate blood to your daughter whom I am not even certain, has the same blood group as me, Leo for the past years, I have respected our friendship, but do well to honor me the respect of not calling my line next time, understood!!!”, I screamed and ended the call. My heart was burning, what exact
Epic 31.It's all over now, Thank God Micheal is still alive. I thought I just became a murderer. I wouldn't have forgiven myself if he was dead.“Mum! Look, it's drizzling”. Lisa said while pointing outside as my eyes followed in the direction of her hands. Raindrops kept dripping down the windows. A little smile escaped from my face as I looked at my little Angel who was seated on my lap. The moment I have long dreamt of. To finally have my baby by my side. To hear her sweet voice and lovely chuckles.This is indeed my Lisa, the baby I am well pleased with.“Yeah, it's drizzling. The rain is also happy to welcome mum back home”. I whispered to her face while staring deep into her eyes.“You will take me to school tomorrow eh, I want to introduce you to my friends, they will be happy to welcome you as well. I want to show them, my mummy”. Lisa mumbled while touching my chin.“Okay honey. I will”. I said while wrapping my hands around her as tears fell from my eyes. How long she has y
Epic 32While getting Lisa ready for school, as I finished feeding her, she still insisted that I will be the one to take her to school. So, after dressing her up, I was set to leave with her. Leo decided to give us a lift since I don't know the place very well.“Mummy, come sit at the back with me”. Lisa said while dragging me to the back seat as Leo laughed at us.“Let's just stay in front, I will lap you”. I said, still laughing.“No, I want us to stay at the back”. She shrugged while frowning her face.“Oh my God! This baby, how old are you again? Because your troubles are way too much”. I said before going to sit at the back with her, Leo couldn't stop laughing at us.“She is something else”. I whispered to him as we started laughing.“Dad”. Lisa mumbled halfway to the ride as Leo and I looked at her.“Yes, Darling”. Leo said while looking at her, through his front mirror.“When we get to school, you will open the door for us”. She said as I almost got choked from holding my lau
Epic 33“What is the news?”. I said anxiously.“Let's go inside the car first”. She said before I carried Lisa and we all went to where I parked the car.“So, What is the news?”. I said still anxiously as Dinma started laughing.“You are too inquisitive”. She said laughing.“Seriously, I don't have time for your jokes. Take care of Lisa, I will be right back, let me go and make an inquiry about the job”. I told Dinma while trying to get down from the car but she dragged me back.“Oh my goodness! What is it Dinma? Just keep the gist, I am coming, let me enquire about the job”. I said while squeezing my hands off her grip.“But, I want to tell you about it. I have already made inquiries about it”. She said as I relaxed back in the car smiling.“Wow! You already inquired about that. So, tell me, what did they say about it?”. I said smiling. “Mummy I want Ice Cream”. Lisa said while tapping me.“Okay honey, I will get you an ice cream when we get to the ice cream spot okay?!”. I said whi
Epic 34“Hello, Dinma”. I said while clearing my throat.“Where are you guys?”. She was a bit scared.“We went to a cafeteria, the interview with the headmaster took so much time and we were hungry so... That is it, but, is there a problem?”. I said“Not really, I heard a tanker fell a break that side and killed so many people”. She said still scared.“A tanker?! I didn't hear of that, let me ask Leo though. But, once we are done eating, we will start coming back”. I said.“Why are you coming back when it is almost 1p.m? Today is Friday, Lisa, usually dismisses by 1p.m on Fridays, so just hang around and bring her back as well”. “Ow! Okay, that is perfect then”. I said smiling, before ending the call.“What did she say?”. Leo asked.“She said we should order more food”. I said laughing.“Can you for one day, be serious?”. Leo said while laughing.“Okay, according to what she said. Seems, there was an accident that happened around, and lots of people lost their lives, also she said si
Epic 35“Madam please! I have no hands in this, I can swear on that. I am a mother like you, I just accepted this job because I needed money. Please!”. I pleaded to the woman who didn't seem interested in what I had to say.“Sir please!”. I said while pleading with the husband.“Don't you dare touch me”. The angry man thundered.“I am sorry sir, but we will have to take it up from here”. The policeman said as I looked at him shocked.“Sir please! Argh! My baby! Okay, okay, let me just call my husband. Please!”. I pleaded as the policemen were dragging me out.“You have to make it quick”. One of them said while letting me go I quickly dialed Leo's number and told him what was going on before they took me to the station.“Mrs. Angel, this is the second time we are holding you in custody in our station, and you know how we do things here. If you want mercy, you will obtain mercy but if you choose to make things hard for us, be assured it is to your detriment. So, tell us, do you or do yo
Epic 36“What did he find out?”. I managed to say after a deep breath.“He didn't make it known to me, but he seemed to have gotten a little information about the missing baby”. Dinma mumbled.“Tell him to stop stressing himself, that I have already accepted the crime”. I mumbled while noticing the tears that flowed down Dinma's eyes.“Hey! Don't cry, okay! I know everything happens for a reason, and we just have to let God do his will. I know Karma is always going to catch up with the person”. I muttered as Dinma joined me in bending her head, and silently muttered “Amen!”.“Your time is up!”. The angry policeman said while coming to where Dinma was.“Take care of Lisa okay!”. I said while cleaning my tears.“I will Sister, Always. Don't worry, we will get you out of here”. Dinma said while turning back, as the policeman pushed her out.“See how you are punishing your family members, worst of all, you even accepted to be guilty after everything. Wicked woman”. The police officer said
Epic 37“Nothing sir”, I stammered while looking at him shaking.“Do you want to lie to a police officer?”. The man said as I became more terrified. I just hope this will not be another means of attracting punishment.“We were only discussing family issues”. Clara said as the policeman gave her a weird look, before returning to his stand.“Oh my! Thank you”. I mumbled while still panting gently.“It is fine. We should be more careful next time”. Clara mumbled as I nodded my head while taking in a deep breath.“Woah! Such a day, I can't just wait for tomorrow to come”. Clara said as I looked at her smiling.“I know, I understand the feeling. I will miss you a lot”. I said smiling.“I will miss you more. Thanks for being not just a friend, but a sister. I believe we are going to meet in the real world”. She said while hugging me.“Of course we are”. I mumbled while rubbing her back.“It is time for the meal”. She said with a little tap on my body as I stood up and we all left with our
