THE MIRACLE I NEED SEASON 2 : Episode 31 – The End
Episode 36
All men were not the same, and she believed Ken was different and would love Ella.
If Ella found out the truth about what was going on in her home, Ella would give up on love, and as her best friend she couldn’t let that happen, even if it meant suffering in silence.
“Aunty Tracy! My aunty wants me to ask you if she should make noodles for you,” Angela called from outside the bathroom door.
“Yes, please,” Tracy called back in a forced cheerful voice.
She didn’t even have the appetite to eat, but for her baby’s sake, she would eat. She needed to feed her baby.
Once she was done, she walked out of the bathroom with her towel wrapped around her and sighed when she realized she had left her backpack in the living room.
She opened the wardrobe door to pick up her long-sleeved pyjamas which were hanging in there and took off her towel.
Just as she slipped on the trousers, the bedroom door opened, and Angela walked in with her backpack.
Before Tracy could reach for the towel to cover herself, Angela’s eyes fell on Tracy’s back which had marks like she had been flogged with a cane or a belt
“Aunty Tracy!” Angela called out in a surprised tone. Tracy gave her an embarrassed smile as she quickly shrugged on her long-sleeved pyjamas shirt while Angela approached her with a concerned frown.
Tracy led her to the bed and they both sat down, “You can’t tell your aunty about what you just saw, okay? Let this be our little secret,” Tracy pleaded.
She didn’t need to ask who did it to know that it had to be Tracy’s husband.
Only an abusive husband could have done something like that. “But why? You are strong. You shouldn’t stay quiet,” Angela said with tears in her eyes.
“Ever heard that some people’s destinies are tied to yours? Your aunty won’t trust men or get married if she finds out that I’m having such marital issues.
You want her to marry Femi, don’t you?” Tracy asked, and Angela nodded.
“So just keep this to yourself. I will tell her once I sort things out, I promise,” Tracy said, and Angela looked at her with uncertainty but nodded her head.
“Good girl. Now go and help your aunty in the kitchen, I will join you soon,” Tracy instructed.
“Do you want me to help you rub ointment on it? Or get you medicine for pain?” Angela asked with concern as she stood up.
“No, don’t worry. I’ll be okay. I don’t want to take any medicine because of my baby.
I don’t want to take any risk,” Tracy said with a smile of gratitude, and Angela gave her a small nod before leaving the room.
Tracy sighed once Angela shut the door. Even if Ayo had beat her up, she knew without a doubt that he loved her… Or maybe he once did.
She knew she had her own role to play in everything that had happened between them.
She was only thankful that he avoided hitting her face. How else would she be able to explain bruises on her face?
After dressing up, she had her usual smile on her face as she joined them in the kitchen.
“Ah! You’re frying dodo!” She squealed excitedly, going over to where the fried ripe plantain had been kept and picked one from it, while Angela tried not to stare at her.
“So where did Ayo go to this time? And why is he always traveling when he has a pregnant wife?
We all spent so much time waiting and praying for this to happen, yet he can’t even take care of you?” Ella asked irritably.
“He has work to do, so you can’t blame him. Besides if he spent all the time taking care of me and our baby when will you have the opportunity to do so?” Tracy asked, wrapping her hands around Ella’s waist from behind.
“I suppose I should be thankful then,” Ella said with a grin, while Angela just watched the both of them in concern.
There was absolutely no way she could keep Tracy’s secret even if she knew she had seemingly good reasons for wanting to keep it away from Ella.
Tracy needed help before either she or her baby would be hurt. She couldn’t help wondering how long this has been going on.
Had she always been pretending to laugh and be happy whereas she was suffering in silence?
“How is Femi by the way? Hope you both are doing well?” Tracy asked as she chewed on another plantain.
“Sure. Although he has been very busy this period, he calls every chance he gets.
Sometimes I’m the one that gets tired of the calls sef,” Ella said with a giggle.
“Have you both started talking about settling down?” Tracy asked curiously.
“Isn’t it too early? We are taking things slowly for now.”
“But he has raised the issue at least?” Tracy asked again.
“Yeah. He’s still waiting for me to get ready. I will let him know once I finally get over my mistrust for men,” Ella said, and Tracy turned to exchange a look with Angela.
Angela understood the silent message she just passed, so she sighed.
She was going to keep it away from Ella but still find a way to help, even if it meant involving Tracy.
