Flora nearly ran mad when she got home only to find Noah gone.

“Anita,so you want to tell me that Noah left this house through the backdoor on his own without anyone telling him?” Flora asked menacingly as she walked towards Anita who shifted back in fright.

“Ma…..I….I… wasn’t..” she tried to say but was greeted with a thunderous slap. Anita cried out and knelt down

“Will you stupidly shut up that smelling gutter you call a mouth!” Flora yelled and walked off leaving her crying there.

“So,Noah…you left this house right? You finally left? Oh…you think I don’t know your plan?

No problem..you will come back here and meet me.” Flora said to herself as she walked into the bathroom to have her bath.

“But…sir!, Why didn’t you say it out all this while! It could be dangerous! You…you….have heart problem and you’ve been keeping it to yourself! God!” Charlene shouted. She felt tears rushing out of her face.

“Come on Charlene.. it has not been confirmed yet.
I’m just assuming because of the symptoms I’m having and infact…I’m no longer having them.” Noah said, trying to convince her but Charlene wouldn’t hear any of it.

“Sir… please stop giving excuses!.you are endangering your life.
How…how come your wife doesn’t know?

We are going to the hospital this afternoon and there is no refusal.” Charlene said and Noah breathed in. He buried his head in his palms.

Enny and Esther we’re sitting on a sofa in their sister’s living room, drinking side drink and gisting while their mother lectured Flora their elder sister. They were on their way home from school for holiday and their mother had come to the airport to pick them and decides to see Flora at once.

However,she was not pleased with the mood in the house. It was getting late and Noah was yet to return.

“Now what do you make of this,Flora? I warned you severally to control your hot temper but no! I told you to be patient!” Mrs Adeline said to Flora who sat carelessly on the bed.

She glanced up at her mother.

“Oh please mom. Spare me that! I should do what?
Exercise some patience? So that all those hungry looking fowls will snatch my husband? It will never happen.

Not in this house!” Flora shouted, going out with her phone as she tried Noah’s number.

It was not going.

“An an sis. We will soon be going na. Where is bross Yello?” Enny asked, referring to Noah.

It was almost ten and Noah was not yet back.

Flora was beginning to get scared as she dialled his number again.

Charlene had never been so confused in her life as she carried a tray out of her kitchen with a bottle of water in it,to the dinning where her boss was sitted.

Noah was lost in thought as he continued getting himself drunk.

Charlene placed the tray on the table looking at him.” Sir…. please….it’s already late and your wife will be bothered. It’s almost….”

“God Charlene!, You heard the doctor! I…I…..have a heart problem and it can develop to heart failure anytime if proper treatment is not done!

And you expect me to go to my nagging wife this night? So I can die?” Noah had tears in his eyes as he yelled in pain.

Charlene’s heart bled as she watched this man.

How unfortunate could someone be!

“You…you… mean you are spending the night here in my house?” Charlene asked and Noah looked up at her and stood up slowly as he stood facing her.

He was already drunk as he struggled to stable himself.

“Not only spending the night here with the woman who has shown me what care is…..I want to show you some appreciation.”
