Episode 9.
The room was as quiet as a grave yard. Reverend Leo sat down with his hands on his head and his head raised up. He was totally lost in thought.
Alfred sat staring from husband to wife. Wondering what has gone wrong with the couple he onced loved and admired.
Rachael sat impatiently waiting for Alfred to respond. She was anxiously waiting and hoping that Alfred would not say no to her. Reverend Leo was silently praying for Alfred to say no. So that they can all move on.
Finally, he broke the silence.
Alfred: seven million.
Leo: What?
Alfred: Seven million for what you want me to do.
Leo: You mean you will sleep with my wife if we pay you seven million naira?
Alfred knew that the Reverend was not happy with his statement and this confused him the more because it was the reverend that called him.
Alfred: Reverend this is a sin against my God, myself and my wife and if I must commit this sin then you should commit it for a good reason. So if you will give me the seven million naira, then I’m in the game.
Leo: (disappointed) And what makes you so sure you will get my wife pregnant.
Alfred: well I don’t know, but I do believe that you saw the potentials in me which is why you chose me out of all the members of the church. I’m not a guarantor that she must get pregnant. Mine is just to do the job, collect my money and go.
Leo: (shakes his head in agreement sarcastically) the job of sleeping with my wife.
Alfred: Sir it’s a huge sacrifice I’m giving to you o. Sacrificing my child for life, forgetting about my own blood for life, do you think it’s an easy thing to do?
Leo: yeah right!
Rachael: It’s okay Alfred. We will give you the money.
Leo was shocked to hear his wife talk.
Leo : We will? Have you gone mad? Where do you plan on getting seven million naira from?
Rachael: Honey that is between us. (turns to Alfred) we will give you the money. My husband and I will raise up the cash for you by Friday. So that by Saturday you can start work.
Leo: Rachael! Friday? Start work?
Rachael: Leo please calm down and let me talk to Alfred. (Turns to Alfred) Brother Alfred, thank you so much. For this you’ve done or about to do for my family, God will bless you richly. Expect my call on Friday.
Alfred: it’s alright mummy, I will take my leave now. Goodbye reverend!
He turns and left the room, shutting the door behind him.
Leo: Rachael has the devil taken over you this deep that you no longer think before talking? Where on Earth do you plan on getting seven million naira within five days.
Rachael:(ignoring the question) Tell the doctor I need to go home. (She manages to stand up though from the way she struggles anyone would know she was still in pains, she starts gathering her things)
Leo: What? How can you go home, when you are not yet strong.
Rachael: Leo call the doctor, I am fine and I need to go home now.
Leo: How can you say you are fine. See you are still in severe pains and you are talking of being okay and wanting to go home. Are you really bent on killing yourself?
Rachael: is it your body Leo? Are you the one feeling the pain? I said I am fine, so call the doctor now to prepare my discharge papers now, if not I will walk out of here and leave you to settle with the doctor.
Once again, Leo knew she wasn’t joking and so he steps out to inform the doctor that his wife had insisted on going home.
The doctors and nurses all came into the room and tried to talk to Rachael and also enlighten her on the dangers of going against the doctor’s advice but she remained adamant and insisted on going.
And so the doctors signed and gave her the discharge papers.
Leo was disappointed and sad at his wife and everything going on around him. He wished it was all a bad dream that he should wake up from but he just didn’t know how to wake himself up.
