IN THE DARK SEASON 2 EPISODE 32
The conversation that took place between biodun
and all of the people present was something I had
no idea of. After few minutes, I noticed that the
house was empty and I concluded that my child
was gone. I cried my eyes out and the surprising
thing was that the more I cry, the more my baby
wept as well. As little as she was, she felt my
pain and got emotional. I stopped to cry when I
eventually lost the strength to. I comforted my
baby and she ended up sleeping in my arms. I
wanted to be strong for my remaining child but I
could not bear to see my child disappear right in
front of me. The pain I felt was more than the
pain I felt when I got pregnant, it was even more
than the one I felt when James turned his back
on me, even the pain I felt during labor could not
be compared the pain I felt when my child was
taken away. I eventually fell asleep with the hope
that I would fight for my child the next day.
The cry of my baby woke me up the next morning.
I didn’t have an idea of when she was taken away
or when biodun joined me in be. I rushed out of
bed and ran to the nursery. I was so surprise to
see my child sleeping peacefully in a cradle. I
was lost on where I heard the cry from. I decided
that the cry might be from my other twin. Though
I was crazy, I was so sure my child was crying
wherever she was. The only place I knew she
could be was James house, I quickly wake the
nanny and told her to look after my child before I
sneaked out of the house. Though the street was
cold and empty, I didn’t care, all I wanted was to
see my child.
With a weak hand I knocked on James door after
about an hour walk. The door was opened by
James and I could tell he was not surprise to see
me. I heard the cry of my girl immediately the
door was opened. I became unrest, all I could
think of was comforting my girl. Something made
me believe that I could still win James over and
this made me plead with him to allow me comfort
my girl. James nodded and left the door open for
me. I got inside and met my girl lying on a couch.
I rushed at her and was about taking her into my
arms when James’s dad came out of the house.
He got furious at the sight of me and threatened
to call on the cops if I fail to leave. James tried to
convince him but he was boiling. I knew James
dad was ready to carry out his threat but I was
not ready to back off after the long distance I
trekked just to see my child. I took the baby into
my arms and started to rock her. James dad
disappeared into the room and so did James. The
next thing I heard was a loud argument between
them. That was when I realized that, to an extent,
James was been influenced by his dad and I
believed he still had his good side.
I was b—-t feeding my girl when I suddenly
heard the loud sound of a siren. Without been
told, I knew the cops were around. I didn’t move
an inch, neither did I stop to feed my child. I was
bent on waiting for the worst to happen.
A tap on the door and James dad bounced out.
He welcomed the cops and pointed at me as the
intruder. James was grumbling and trying to stop
his dad but he was too weak to stand for my child
and i. James dad forcefully took the child from me
and I was taken away with my hanging boobs. All
I could do was to look at my child and cry. My
motherly right was denied.
I was locked up until biodun arrived. The cops
made me sign an agreement that I would never
see my child again else I would face the court. It
was the most difficult agreement I had ever
signed, but I eventually did. I agreed to give up
my child before my bail as granted.
That very day, I had a heart to heart talk with
biodun. Biodun made me see the reason to move
on for my girls. He made me realize that she was
just out of our home but she wasn’t out of the
world. He told me that fate would bring my girls
together just the way it brought us together. I
took in biodun’s words and believed in him but it
was difficult to move on. Separating a mother from
her child is the worst thing that can happen to
any mother.
###############
After a year of trying to move on and going back
to my vomit. Biodun decided that we should
change our environment. According to him, the
pains the environment caused me can never be
healed without me moving out of it. We finally
decided that the best place to go was no other
place than home [Nigeria].
With my family and all the beautiful memories I
had back home, we believed it would help to
bring me back to me. We packed our backs and
sold off all our properties. With a heavy heart I
said goodbye to Canada and everything therein.
We arrived Nigeria with the hope of starting over
again.
‘We arrived Nigeria with the hope of starting all
over again.’
Nancy
My mom paused and gazed at the floor as if she
was lost in thought. At this point in time I could
not hold back my tears, realizing all that my mom
had been through and she still managed to be a
happy woman during her time on earth. My mom
raised her head and he saw stream of tears
rolling down her cheek. I realized that no matter
how long it might have been, the memory was still
fresh in her and the wound would be forever
fresh. I was lost in thought until when Kelvin held
my hand and jerked me back to reality. I looked
at Kelvin and faked a smile with my teary eyes
before I focused on the big screen. My mom had
already gotten rid of the tears in her eyes. She
faked a smile and continued.
“I was so happy to be back home, where I truly
belonged. My parent came for us at the
Airport. I must confess, seeing my family gave me
lots of joy. A welcome party was organized for us
and introductions were made. To everybody,
Lillian was back with her husband and a beautiful
daughter. Nobody knew I was back with a child
that could be called a b—–d.
I met with Biodun’s family as well and stayed with
them for some period of time. We left when we
secured our apartment. Biodun portrayed my
daughter as his and nobody knew the whole truth.
Since my girl looked exactly like me, everybody
concluded that she took after her mom over her
dad.
We started a new family in Nigeria. Biodun started
a business and after about five years of our
return, my dad died. I took over most of our
companies. My mom also died two years after my
dad’s death.
Everything was willed to me and I was left to take
care of my kid brother. I transferred most of the
companies to my husband and we lived our lives
as a happy family.
Though I still missed my lost girl, I was
contended with all that I had. I lived a life I
wasn’t proud of but I was able to learn from my
mistake.
Nancy, baby this is the reason why I will never let
you out of my sight, because I know what excess
freedom can do to young minds. It all because I
love you.
The only regret I have in life is me not been able
to give Biodun a child. After my first issue, I
could not conceive no more. He never made me
feel bad about this, he only made me see reason
why I should be grateful for not aborting my first
and last issue.
I never met James, until that day you brought him
over for dinner.
Yes, James, you brought him and his family over
that very night. That was when I learnt that the
lady he ended up with never had any issue for
him. My girl was the only child he had. I let the
sleeping dog lay and I did the whole forgiveness
thing for my girls and for my late husband.
I gusse by now you should know that James is
Stanley James, Nelly’s dad, your dad Nancy.
Biodun is Abiodun Williams. My late husband and
your foster father.
You and Nelly are my twins girls. (Nancy and
Nelly).
This is my story baby, This is my life people. I’m
sure any writer can make a beautiful piece with it
but it’s not something I am proud of.
I’m sorry for lieing to you about Nelly, I didn’t
have the courage to tell me about my rough past.
I hope you will meet with her and start a beautiful
life as a proud set of twins after you see this
video. Forgive James too, he regret his actions
already. I’m not sure if I will be with you after you
see this video but if I have the opportunity, I will
see to the reunion.
Baby, learn from my story and you will never fall
in any pit. I pray you will find a man like Biodun
before a wolf like James locates you. You have
my blessings baby. I’m proud of you and your
sister.
This is all I have been keeping for years. I know
you all have been in the dark”
