Episode 78
Arthur’s Pov;
Coming back to the house I live with Natasha felt more like hell for me.
Going back there each day makes me feel so miserable even without being miserable.
What baffles me is how the one I saw some months again seems to disappear from this planet.
Am so sure that I actually saw my Aliyah that day and I have been trying my best to find her but all my efforts keeps proving abortive no matter how hard I try.
Why is life being so unfair to me?
I have a feeling I will find her in no distant time.
I will do whatever it takes to find her and make her mine.
You might be wondering what will Natasha’s fate but you see right now I don’t care.
Am so tired of depriving myself of the true happiness I deserve which am not getting from Natasha.
We might have stayed together with each other for a long time I still don’t love her.
I have tried so many times to grow that love but I just can’t.
Why is all this happening to me?
I drove my car absentmindedly.
The thought that the business trip is over and that am coming straight to the house made me get depressed the more.
Nothing in that house gives me happiness.
Natasha??
Of course I don’t feel anything like love for her at all.
Then my son Patrick… That’s even the worst of it all.
He has been a pin in my neck and I always wonder if that boy is really my son.
He gets into trouble each and every time.
Always tainting the name of the family and dragging the name of the family in the mud.
He never ever gets himself into anything useful.
It’s always from one problem to another with him.
The fact that am going back to them makes me so downcasted.
Of what use is it going back to family when there is no joy going back to them.
Sometimes I wish I never had to meet Natasha.
Am so sick and tired of her being in my life.
It would have been better that I had no wife than to have one that am always disappointed to go back to.
My life has been he.ll with both of them present in my life.
I drove straight into the compound wearing a long face as usual.
I got down from my car and opened the car boot.
“Good evening sir” The gate keeper bowed slightly as he greeted me.
“How are you doing?” I managed to ask him.
“Am fine Sir… Welcome back home” he said as he carried my luggage and walked into the duplex.
“Thank you so much Miguel” I managed to force a smile at him.
I can’t afford to let them know am wearing a long face after such a long time of seeing my family.
I should be happy but I just can’t pretend when deep down there is no excitement.
I followed him after closing the car boot with my briefcase.
I walked right into the quiet duplex.
It has always been quiet like a graveyard cos there is no form of happiness in the house.
“Where are you taking those to? And what are those?” Natasha asked Miguel as she saw him with the luggage.
You are surprised right?
She doesn’t even have any idea that I was coming back today cos I didn’t bother to tell her.
“Uhmm… Ma’am Sir is back and these are his things” He replied as she quickly stood up.
“My husband is back??” She asked in surprise as she walked out to meet me.
“Honey..” she called out as she hugged me and I hugged her too coldly.
“You didn’t tell me you will be coming back today Arthur?” She asked as I disengaged the hug.
“You won’t understand” I said not knowing what else to tell her.
“You’re welcome back home Arthur.. if I had known you are coming then I would have prepared something really special for you” She said.
“Why? Can you even cook?” I said with sarcasm.
“Arthur?” She called in disappointment.
“Uhmm… I mean the maids are here to do the cooking so you don’t have to bother yourself preparing anything for me” I said as I headed straight upstairs.
“If you say so Arthur! You go freshen up then come to the dinning for dinner” She said acting all kind and sweet when I know it’s all a charade.
“Let’s go Miguel” I said as I walked upstairs straight to my room.
I sat heavily on the bed yawning tiredly.
I really need to catch some sleep cos am fvcking so tired.
I walked straight into the bathroom and took a warm shower before putting on my pyjamas.
I jumped on my bed already dozing off when I heard a knock on the door.
“Who could be disturbing my sleep?” I scratched my head yawning again and again.
“Who?” I managed to ask still fast asleep on the bed.
“Sir it’s me Sarah” that is one of the maid in the duplex.
“What is it Sarah?” I asked still really tired.
“Sir I just wanted to call you for dinner.. it’s ready and served” She said.
“No thank you! I don’t wanna have dinner cos am ok” I said covering my duvet properly.
“Sir? It’s actually ma’am who said I should call you cos she knows you must be hungry” She continued.
“Are you deaf or something? Or do you choose to be dumb for no reason?” I was started to get annoyed.
“No Sir” she snapped immediately.
“Then do what I told you… Go down and tell her that am not hungry and that I already had dinner” I said as she nodded and walked out of the room.
I continued sleeping.
What’s so special in eating together with them in the round table like we are happy when we really are not happy.
What will that add to our lives?
Pretending to be happy when none of us is happy.
Am tired of pretending like we are happy when we are not.
This is not a definition of a perfect family that I want cos am not getting what I want marrying her.
The thought that she made Aliyah leave me with our unborn baby in her womb makes my hatred for her grow each hour.
Aliyah should have been the one am with and am sure I will be so happy right now leaving in peace.
But she ruined in all my dreams with her selfishness.
Of course she only cared about what she wanted and not what I wanted.
I never wanted to end up with her but she made me loose the only person I truly loved.
I have to find her at all cost.
I have to find my Aliyah… Who knows how our child together will look?
She must be as beautiful as her mother am sure.
Am sure it’s gonna be a baby girl…
I don’t know why I should end up with this wicked lady.
She even told Aliyah’s Mom that her daughter is dead.
I need to rest my head for the meantime I can’t afford to get so angry this night.

Mrs Natasha’s Pov:
Patrick spooned the pasta into his mouth as I turned to him immediately.
“What’s wrong with Patrick?” I eyed him as he shrugged.
“What happened Mom? Did I do something wrong?” He asked about to spoon another into his mouth when I stopped him.
“You shouldn’t be eating Patrick! Come on son we should wait for your father so we can eat together” I said as he shook his head in disbelief.
“Is that why you stopped me mom? You wanted us to wait for him to come downstairs before we can eat our dinner?” He scoffed.
“Well of course is something wrong with that? Isn’t he part of the family and even head of the family?” I continued.
“You can wait for him Mom but I can’t do that am really sorry” He snorted.
“And why is that? We are a family and we should eat together so that we can stay together” I said.
“I don’t care about whatever quote you are going to drop mom? He can eat when he gets downstairs so I can eat my food if I choose to and I mustn’t wait for him before eating” He replied sharply.
“You know that isn’t nice right son?” I patted his shoulder.
“Mom?? I don’t understand why you keep saying we are together as a family when we are not” He said.
“What do you mean by we are not Patrick? Aren’t we leaving together?” I eyed him.
“We might be sharing everything together Mom but I don’t know why I feel like Dad doesn’t love us as a whole” He said as I gasped.
“Shhh… Why are you saying that? You know you shouldn’t say things like that right?” I stopped him.
“That’s just how I feel Mom.. at least I can still say what I feel right? That’s exactly how I feel and that’s how it looks” He said as he ate the pasta.
“Please do this for me son.. let’s just wait for your Daddy to come downstairs before eating” I convinced him as he dropped the fork.
“Argghhhhh… This is just freaking me out mom” he rolled his eyes.
Just then, the maid rushed downstairs.
“Where is he anyways? Won’t he came quickly cos am starving” Patrick rolled his eyes.
“Calm down son! He will surely come to eat with us” I said.
“Sarah where is my husband?” I asked as she bowed her head.
“He said he doesn’t want to eat” She mumbled.
“What? What are you talking about?” I asked with furrowed eyebrows.
“He said he has eaten so he doesn’t want to eat tonight and that you people should go ahead and eat” She explained.
“Have you seen that Mom? That’s the one you are looking out for telling me not to eat so that we can wait for him to come join us on the table” Patrick chuckled sarcastically.
“Patrick??” I called.
“What Mom? Isn’t it the truth? You stopped me from eating so that he can join us so tell me can I eat now?” He scoffed.
“Go ahead and eat and stop speaking in such a manner about your Dad that’s just not fair of you and you know it’s I said.
“Whatever mom! What he did isn’t fair as well and he should fair” He clicked his tongue and continued eating.
I gulped hard in disappointment.
He shouldn’t have done what he did should he?

Kim’s Pov:
I bit my fingers boiling with rage.
Anger burnt through me like I was going to collapse.
If not for the fact that am not fully recovered then I would have gone to meet that hoer and teach her the lesson of her life.
Why is she always trying to steal everything from me?
I won’t stop until I make her pay for what she’s doing.
I can’t wait to meet Martin and then he has a lot of explanations to do for me.
What will he be doing with that girl in the first place?
He went to the hospital to go see her after the humiliation she gave him back in school.
Is he under a spell or something?
I was still sulking when my mom walked in and held my wrist.
“The doctor said you will be discharged a day after tomorrow baby then you will start school as soon as possible” She said.
“That’s good” I managed to say as I turned my face away.
“What happened baby? Are you ok? Did someone annoy you child?” Mom asked anxiously.
“Am so heartbroken Mom!” I burst into tears immediately.
“My goodness what happened? Tell me baby? Who is making you so sad?”she asked.
“It’s Martin” I burst into tears the more.
“What?” Mom widened her eyes…….
