MAMA, I MADE IT!?
Episode 36.
Story by MARIAM EDEM ( Miriam Eyen Efik)
I didn’t know when I slept off on my mom Laps and we woke up the next day with a knock on the door and the doctor walked in,
“Good morning doctor, I greeted.
“Morning Purity, sorry I was tied down and I heard what you did for the man rushed in, he said.
“How is he now? I asked.
“He’s fine, he’s fine, and your dad? He asked.
“Honestly I haven’t checked him today but I did before I slept off, he will come around soon, I replied.
“Okay let me see, he said checking on my dad while I heaved cleaning my mom face.
“We don’t have our toothbrushes here, I said to her but she yawned while I left her and drew near to the doctor.
“He’s picking up, he said to me.
“Yea, I said nodding and remembered something.
“Sorry doctor I couldn’t talk with the nurse yesterday because something came up, I had to rush out, I said.
“I hope there’s no problem? He asked and I told him what my step mom did to Success and he shook his head.
“What exactly is wrong with her? Is she possessed or something? He asked.
“I don’t know I don’t know, but my boyfriend is fine and he’s insisting to leave today because he wants to follow her up, I replied.
“You really have to follow her up else she will commit more havoc, he said.
“That’s right, so I may not really be steady with my dad, please help me keep your eyes on him, I said.
“There’s no problem I understand okay, alright you can still see the nurses, he said.
“Sure right away, I said and he left the room while I took my bag searching for my card.
“Mom are you following me to the hotel so you’ll clean up and have something to eat? I asked her.
“What….what….bout him? She asked.
“I can bring you back to stay with him if you want, you have to change up and are you okay? I asked and she nodded and Success mother called.
I began to shake thinking she has heard what has happened to her son and I picked up,
“Good morning ma, I greeted.
“Morning Purity, are you two not coming back already? She asked.
“Ma I thought you knew? I asked.
“Knew about what? She asked and I was relieved and told her everything but excluded the part Success was harmed.
“Oh my God! I don’t think you’re going to come back this week with what I’m hearing, but how is your mother is she okay? Because I was worried, she said.
“She’s fine ma, and she’s the one helping to look after my dad, I replied.
“I understand but dear treatment need to be completed first and I wished I gave you her drugs. She skipping it is not too good even if I know she is recovering, she said.
“Ma I believe my mom is fine, because even if I want to send her back now she will still Refuse to go but she’s doing good, I said.
“Okay if you say so, please take care of yourself okay and where is Success? He’s not picking his calls or even remembered to call home since when he travelled, she said.
“I apologize for that ma but he has busy with the police, I’ll call him right away, I said.
“Please do and you all should take care of yourself okay and feed your mother with fruits and vegetables, she said.
“Noted ma, thank you ma, I said and the line went dead.
I sighed out happy she doesn’t know Success was hurt else she would have stormed here and insisted Success is going with her.
“Mom let’s go, dad will be okay, a nurse will be here soon, I said taking her hand and we left the room……………..

I took my mom back to the hospital and gave her enough fruits to keep her going because I had no idea when I will come back.
I checked on my dad again but he was still in the state I left him, but as I about to go meet Success I saw his finger shook and I stopped.
“Dad, I gently called out and left to tell the doctor what I saw.
‘That means he will be up soon, the doctor said after checking on him.
“I know but I’m worried I may not see him when he gets up, I sadly said.
“Purity I’m sure he will understand just take things easy with you, he said and Success began to call and I rolled my eyes.
“Okay i have to go now, bye mom, I said giving her a peck and hurried off,
“Dear I’m on my way there, I picked up and he dropped the call hearing that.
I arrived at his hospital and we left together though i wasn’t happy with his decision of leaving knowing his wound is so fresh and deep.
I know he’s in pains but he keeps denying it just so I won’t worry, but since its his decision to risk it I couldn’t do anything about it.
We got to the police station and met the man I saw yesterday.
We talked for a while and Success was taking the case to court as Eunice kept shouting she won’t let this go and she wants her lawyer.
“But are you sure that woman is in her right senses? She is using her hands to sign her death warrant, despite all the wrongs she has committed she is taking it to court like how is she going to win this? I asked and Success smiled.
“Funny enough not every case won in court was just and fair, and she already has a lawyer standby as if she is always prepared for trouble. We don’t know the capability of her lawyer, he said.
“But we have a case here and our witness is just live and ready to talk, aren’t we going to win this? I asked.
“We will if we are wise and sensible enough, but don’t worry leave that to your lawyer. So sir we will be taking our leave now, Success said.
“Okay, I wish you guys luck, he said as we stood up and we thanked him and left.
“So you lawyers do lie just to win a case huh? I asked Success on the way.
“No one likes to be on a losing part, he replied.
“What happens to the truth and fair part? I angrily asked and he stopped.
“Hey calm down, besides I’ve never been on the cheating part but I’ve faced lawyers in court defending the offenders just so they can win, he said and i shook my head.
“Unbelievable, so what now? She’s getting her lawyer, and you’re going to stand against a lying cheating and Cunning lawyer, I said.
“I know but we need our evidence intact, such lawyers twist the truth and make you stupid in court, he said.
“But i believe we stand a Better chance here, my mom, my dad and you are the witness and they will tell the court what she did to them, I said.
“What will your mom say? That Eunice made her mad, how? Where are the prove? Do you know the doctors responsible for that and can you find them? Look the lawyer can just tell the court your mother is still sick and doesn’t know what she is saying except there is a witness to attest to this allegation with prove, he said.
“Then we have your mom don’t we? I asked.
“Honey I’m in the system, but now i want you to do something for me. Try to ask your mom questions and see if she can remember the hospital she was first taken to. I’ll call my mom and let her know about this so she can backup with more prove for your mother.
Then for your father, I’ll go to the hospital he was treated before he got transferred. I won’t send you there because you had a fight with the doctor, and if I’m able to see the nurse that talked to us I can get the nurse that was treating your father and if your father is strong before that day, the court can hear His own part of the story. Besides I don’t have a difficult case here, I made sure the pen knife she used was gotten as sample and her fingerprints is on it, so don’t worry okay i gat this fight, he said and kissed me on my forehead and i hugged him.
“Thank you, I said.
“You’re welcome, he said touching my face and Charity call came on phone.
I told her the situation on ground and she offered to hit the road soon so she can help me out over here,
“Thanks a bunch darling, I said when i heard that.
“You’re welcome my TomTom and don’t stress yourself too much okay, she said.
“Yes sir! I shouted and she laughed dropping the call.
“I’ll take you to the hotel so you can rest, I said to Success.
“Huh why? I want to see your dad, you said it yourself he will soon open his eyes, he said.
“Yes i said that but I didn’t say that part of you wont see my dad just because you are going to the hotel. I only want you to rest, common how will you pass from hospital to another hospital? I asked.
“Did I? It was from hospital to the police station rather, he corrected.
“Whatever, then add the hotel because you need to change up and clean yourself up and this time around you are not saying no, i said very serious and all he could do was just laugh while we held our hands together.
“Have you called your wife? I asked him.
“I did nah, he replied.
“No you have to call her again so she will know you’re okay, its bad though you were not always calling her, i said.
“Ma’am i was busy and i know she wasn’t worried about me because she knows I’m with you, but it was for your mom, he said.
“Does she know about us? I asked.
“Nah not yet, but she knows it in the spirit, he replied and I laughed.
“That naughty girl will know when she comes here, she will practically rip my ears off with her shout, I said.
“Yea by then i hope i won’t be around, her trouble is just too much, he said and i smiled.
“And i love her like that, i said.
“You’re making me jealous now o, now the thought of your side chick coming is so painful, Success said and i fell on his chest laughing my stomach out.
“Don’t let her hear this from you, she will just skin you alive, I said.
“But it’s not easy o, how can i be struggling My girlfriend with a girl na? I Wish it was a guy I would have known how to beat him hands Down, but Charity own is just one of a kind, he said laughing.
“Its your fault because you decided to be in the friend zone, But she’s not here for trouble na, she only want to help out and I will really appreciate that help, i said.
“I know and thanks for not telling my mom about my chest, oh the gates of hell would have been open on Eunice today, he said.
“But that would have been better if that happens, very easy, i said with a frown.
“But things need to be done the right away, but what about your step sister? I saw her so sober and scared, what do you think? He asked and i shook my head.
“I think she should remain there until her mom is in jail, because if we release her now, Eunice might be using her to spoil our plans out here because she won’t want her mom to be in jail. So let her be there until the ground is cool, I replied.
“uhmmm i think you have a point, even the bible said “we should be careful for nothing” he quoted………….
