PENDAGOGUE 👔📒.. season 2 ...
..............................FINAL EPISODE......................................

‘’well I guess It’s now time to explain myself’’ Henry muttered , breathing heavily. We all nodded, eagerly waiting for his own side of the story.

‘’I met comfort through my cousin some years back and as a young man was very much attracted to her, but her behavior kind of pushed me off because the silly girl simply friendzoned me upon everything I did to win her. So I had to walk away and move on with my life even though I still saw her occasionally through my cousin until she had problem in her department which she needed cash to settle. I cashed in on the opportunity, had s*x with her and gave her the money. Ever since then, she totally blacklisted and turned me to her enemy.
She stopped every contact with me and having nothing to lose I equally avoided her until about a year and half later when Caleb invited her to my hotel.
The d--n girl pretended not to know me and I equally pretended not to know her since I knew all my friend Caleb wanted was just to catch fun with her. I felt telling him about our past would definitely spoil his game and as a friend, I kept my mouth shut and allowed him to catch his fun but soon afterwards it became a constant thing for both of them and before I knew what was happening Caleb started avoiding me.
I tried numerous times to reach out to him, but he always had an excuse to avoid me. Of course I wasn’t a fool to force myself on anyone. So I also had to keep my distance until I read on paper about him taking advantage of a student and putting her in a family way. And the girl in question was no other person than Comfort. I tried once again to reach out to my friend but he still avoided me. Isn’t it so’’ he wrapped up, throwing a quick look at me. I nodded with embarrassment.

‘’’however , I forced myself to visit him in his office few months later, after reading another publication posted about him and Comfort. At first he wasn’t too pleased to see me, but later confided in me, telling me his story. I really felt pity and wanted to help, even though deep down I felt comfort’s child wasn’t his, knowing the girl’s history. Nevertheless I offered to help out in getting a house for Comfort, which I did.
I desperately looked for a way to get Caleb suspicious of the girl’s pregnancy without being too direct since I wasn’t sure if the baby was actually his or not and so had to tell him the truth about Comfort’s doctor, hoping that it will give him enough reason to be suspicious which it did but unfortunately the baby turned out to be his child after the second DNA test was conducted, clearing every suspicion.
But I don’t know how comfort found out that I had a hand in it and called me for the first time to threaten me. According to her words, Caleb is the reason she’s still alive and if I should take him away from her. She won’t have any reason to live again and she won’t go down alone. She threatened to kill Caleb, Jessica and everyone who stood in her way before committing su***de. Of course I knew she was deadly serious about it and had no choice than to keep my mouth shut for Jessica’s sake. The poor woman has no reason to die over something she knew nothing about. I kept quiet to protect Jessica and her baby. Still the d--n girl shot me. She tried to kill me’’ he summarized with a heavy tone, leaving the room deadly quiet after his long speech.

Jessica instantly began crying while my mother drew close and held her. My good friend, the priest instantly cleared his throat.

‘’finally we have gotten rid of the devil and every secret has been revealed. We should all thank God that things ended the way it did. Let’s now forget about the past and forge ahead with our lives. My son Caleb made a mistake by cheating on his wife and there isn’t any doubt he paid dearly for it. But God forgave him the moment he realized his sins and ran to him. I still remember the very first day he came to me, crying and confessing. I told him what to do and he followed it to the last. Please let us forgive him. He has suffered enough’’ he begged everyone, leaving his gaze on Jessica who wiped her tears , drew close and sat beside me.

‘’marriage is for better or for worse. We made the vow together and I have always stayed by your side. Yes I have long forgiven you. I have nothing against you and I do love you with all my heart’’ she breathed, forcing tears down my eyes with her words.

‘’what matters most is learning from your mistakes. A man who makes a mistake and tries to correct it, is indeed a real man. You are a real man, my love’’ she breathed and kissed me, creating an emotional scene with her action.

‘’we also have to beg the young detective with us here. We have to appeal to him to close this case. If not Caleb may end up in another trouble if he proceeds with the case’’ my mother in law added, making everyone to face the detective, pleading at the same time. Detective Johnson blushed and looked down.

‘’yes I will find a way to close the case. We are all like family now. Isn’t it so’’ he said with a calm smile. Everyone clapped with happiness…

———————————–

I was discharged from the hospital four days later, returning home to meet a great homecoming party my wife organized for me. My family, friends, colleagues were all present and it was such a happy reunion and a new beginning for me and my lovely wife.

Comfort never showed up till this day and nothing on earth would make me cheat on my wife ever again.
Cheating is bad. One way or the other you will get to pay for it. i almost lost my job, my family and my life over it. I was definitely lucky to survive in the end…. I sought for redemption on time and God helped me. Moreover I had an understanding wife and a great family..

Please dear friends, try to understand and stand by your spouse in difficult moments. Remember two heads are better than one..

Jessica and i still live together as one happy family till this day. Our house now filled with kids.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR FOLLOWING UP.... LOVE YOU ALL!!!

PENDAGOGUE 👔📒.. season 2 ......Episode 22 ...
SEMI- FINALE

‘’I have to go check what’s going on out there’’ Henry muttered , bravely heading to the door but my mother in law instantly stopped him.

‘’no my son it isn’t safe. Let’s wait till the detective returns’’ she said , stopping him. I swallowed hard and shifted nervously on my bed. I was extremely scared. I just couldn’t wait to find out what was happening outside. I just couldn’t imagine who the gunshot we all heard was meant for.

‘’oh Lord protect Jessica. Keep her safe for me’’ I prayed silently.

‘’hey brother what’s up?. I just got back to the city yesterday only to learn from detective Johnson that someone shot you’’ Henry suddenly said to me. I breathed deeply and stared at him accusingly.

‘’you have a lot to tell me. You have a lot of explanation to make. you have to start talking’’ I said seriously. He shrugged, drew closer and held me by the shoulder.

‘’yes I know I do have a lot of explanation to make’’ he muttered slowly, but before he could go further, detective Johnson walked into the room, sweating seriously.

‘’she got away. The d--n girl was smarter than I imagined. She fired into the air as soon as she left the hospital reception area, creating chaos that made me lose her. Nevertheless she dropped my gun outside the hospital gate. That girl is something else’’ the detective explained, settling my mind with the explanation. I instantly thanked God that no one was hurt.

‘’you guys do have some explanations to do. I’m still unable to understand the drama that played in this room some minutes ago’’ he pushed on, throwing a sharp look at me. I smiled nervously, nodding at Henry.

‘’I guess Henry has a lot of explanations to make because I’m also confused’’ I answered, turning everyone’s attention back to Henry who shrugged and breathed deeply.
Just that moment, Jessica walked in with my parents and my good old friend, my parish priest, making the room a full one. I smiled with great delight on seeing them all while Jessica instantly looked around with suspicion.

‘’what’s going on here?. You all look so tensed up’’ she asked curiously.

‘’Comfort was here. She held us at gunpoint for some minutes’’ her mother quickly explained. She instantly gasped with shock.

‘’my God!” she exclaimed.

‘’apparently she was here to say good bye to your husband when we walked in on her. But I think it’s a good thing it happened that way because it seems like everyone in this room has a secret’’ the detective answered, creating more tension with his words.

‘’well you should all listen to what I have to say’’ Henry chipped in, drawing back every attention to himself.

‘’I very much knew Comfort before my friend Caleb got to meet her. In fact we had a little affair. I meet her through my cousin. The girl standing before you all’’ he explained, touching the familiar looking girl by the shoulder.

‘’I think you should all listen to what she has to say first’’ he added, paving way for the girl to talk. She instantly cleared her throat, breathed deeply and smiled at me.

‘’you stare at me as if you don’t recognize me sir?’’ she asked. I shook my head unable to say a word.

‘’The first time Comfort walked into your office, I was the girl she later brought in to meet you. The girl that failed to show up at the hotel you arranged to meet us for the exam i missed. Comfort just lied to you by attaching herself in the said exam. she wasn’t even a student as of then ’’ she explained carefully while my mind slowly played back the events of that fateful day (season1). I slowly remembered her face. She was definitely the girl who was supposed to meet me at the hotel with comfort but failed to show up.

‘’yea that cursed day’’ I breathed with regret.

‘’I failed to show up because firstly, you asked us to come over to a hotel very familiar to us. The hotel managed by my cousin. And Even though I badly needed to pass that exam, I had to stay back. Secondly my friend Comfort desperately wanted you by all means and that was her only opportunity, using the exam i really missed as an opportunity to get to you, not minding that she once had an affair with the manager of the hotel where you invited her. However she never knew you guys were friends until she met you two together at the hotel and luckily Henry pretended not to know her.’’ She narrated and stopped for a while.
The room was as quiet as a grave yard as the story buried in our heads.

‘’well to cut the long story short. My friend Comfort was rusticated in 200 level when a person she paid to sit for an exam on her behalf was caught. Prior to that moment, she followed the bad girls on campus for money because her parents never catered for her and the girls she followed got her into cultism, forcing her to do a lot of dangerous things that affected her studies. All these happened before you got employed in the school. And in a bid to get herself back into the department, she tried reaching a deal with our former HOD (head of department) . Dr Okorie who retired before you got into the school. Dr Okorie demanded for hundred thousand naira which she couldn’t afford at that moment and so had to do everything to get it, including sleeping twice with my cousin Henry to raise part of the money. Unfortunately the old man couldn’t help her in the end and soon got retired from his job, leaving Comfort very dejected and confused. She couldn’t go back home to face her family as a failure and instead stayed around in school and hoped for the best. Finally when we got to our last year in school which equally would have been hers as well, she grew more desperate and tactful, finally deciding to dig her fangs on you Mr Caleb who just joined the department as a newbie. Though she presumed you were single. But after learning that you were married it never stopped her from throwing herself on you. According to her, marriage was the only way out of disgrace and uncertain future. However it seemed that she fell in love with you afterwards and began doing crazy things until she finally got pregnant. when she got pregnant, she never expected you to treat her the way you did at first. And She finally had to travel home after our house rent expired and her parents got involved, something she never bargained for.
Her parents involvement changed her whole plans and after they came to the school to embarrass you, she became totally scared. But the school authorities instead of investigating properly , hurriedly punished you to save the school from public scrutiny because of the public attention the news gathered. The press equally did no form of investigative journalism which left everything back to her favour. She capitalized on it and got back to your house. You all know the rest.’’ She narrated solemnly, leaving a great air of suspense and confused minds all over the room.

We all faced my friend Henry to finish up the story, because he still had a lot to explain, especially his reason for keeping every helpful information concerning Comfort from me…

PENDAGOGUE 👔📒.. season 2 ......Episode 21.....

Comfort sat beside me, felt my pulse and breathed deeply.

‘’I’m really very sorry my love. you know i never meant to shoot you. I even risked everything just to be with you right now. I know the police are already looking for me’’ she muttered and swallowed hard.

‘’you shot me’’I said accusingly.

‘’you know I never meant to. You are the last person I will ever hurt deliberately’’she replied slowly as tears quickly filled her eyes.

‘’but you were in my house to kill my wife? What did she do to deserve such attempt on her life?’’ I queried breathlessly. Her eyes quickly lit up. She bit her lips and closed her eyes for a second.

‘’she killed my baby. The d--n woman killed my child with her trickery’’ she exploded, shaking with rage.
‘’she got in my way. She refused leaving you for anything’’ she poured out like someone possessed with a bad spirit. I felt like slapping her that moment not withstanding how weak I was. I really was filled with anger, but couldn’t do a thing.

‘’I wasn’t born to be a desperate cold hear-ted girl but the world pushed me into it. I was raised in a very poor family where I did everything to survive. I had nobody to help or provide for me like your parents did for you. In the process, I was used and dumped countless times by men like an old rag. I never believed in love until you came into my life but everything still turned against me. You were married. You never loved me. We cant even have kids. Nothing has ever gone well for me’’ she poured out miserably.

‘’I have decided to leave. I have decided to free you and your life. I’m leaving the country. I’m traveling to Ghana. I have concluded every arrangement and I used part of the money and things I got from your apartment to get it done. A cab is waiting for me outside. I don’t think we will ever meet again. But you need to know that the love I have for you is greater than what your wife feels for you. Before I leave, I do need your forgiveness. I’m sorry for shooting you. I’m sorry for messing up your life’’ she breathed solemnly. I just couldn’t believe my ears. I just didn’t know what to tell her. Nevertheless i was glad she was about doing the right thing even though i felt she was going about it the wrong way.

‘’you are not doing this for me. I know you are running away’’ I breathed. She stared at me for some seconds, shook her head and breathed deeply.

‘’you are always very inconsiderate. I should have let you die when you helplessly fell in your apartment, but no. I stopped your bleeding and called the police. Would you have done that for me, supposing I was the one who got shot?. I guess you don’t know what it feels to wake up every morning uncertain of your future, uncertain of your next meal. You haven’t sacrificed anything in life. I know you wont forgive me, but I’m leaving’’ she added, kissed me and got up.

‘’it pains me to do this. I will forever miss you’’ she breathed and turned to leave.

‘’wait’’ I suddenly said, forcing her to stop and face me with eyes filled with tears.

‘’I forgive you. I pray God guides you in every step you take from now onwards. But why are you throwing away your future by running away?. You haven’t done your national youth service yet. I can get the police to stop looking for you. You can finish up the program-me and make something out of your life’’ I offered with all sincerity. She smiled and shook her head.

‘’no I cant stay back. There are many things you still don’t know about me’’ she breathed .
Just that moment, detective Johnson, Henry and a girl who looked very familiar walked in.

On seeing them, she quickly drew back and pulled out a pistol from her handbag, surprising everyone, most especially the detective who was caught totally off-guard.

‘’drop your weapon sir, unless you want people to get hurt. You know this is a hospital’’ she said to the detective whose right hand was already on the butt of his gun. He nervously looked around like a cornered rat, not sure whether to obey the command or not. Comfort laughed and stared at Henry.

‘’you know what I’m capable of?. I shot you once and you survived, randy goat. Tell the cop to toss his gun” she shouted at a terribly scared Henry who nervously faced the detective.

‘’please sir, do as she says. She has nothing to lose in life and so is capable of shooting everyone. Please drop your weapon sir’’ he begged the detective who slowly pulled out his gun and dropped it on the floor, kicking it towards Comfort..

The room instantly became silent and hot.. Our hearts all pounded furiously.

‘’you know you aren’t getting away with this. You better surrender, let’s end this peacefully’’’ the detective said professionally but his words had no effect on comfort who simply laughed.

‘’seems like you didn’t understand what Mr. Henry said to you?. Mr. detective, I have nothing to lose, moreover how will you stop me from getting away?. You are all alone with no backup. You are facing my gun’’ she said with a soft laugh.

‘’and who told you I have no backup?’’ the detective asked.

‘’I know you came alone. You never expected to see me here’’she answered with a shrug.

‘’don’t be too sure’’’ the detective stammered, trying his best to talk Comfort into putting down her weapon but his words failed to have any effect on her.

‘’Comfort why are you making things more difficult to you?. You can’t get away with this’’ I managed to say.

‘’don’t worry about me, I have always been in difficult conditions. This isn’t an exception’’ she replied and eyed the girl standing with Henry.

‘’even you?.i thought we were friends’’ she said to the girl who almost pi**ed on herself out of fright. It was very obvious the girl, Henry and comfort were somehow mixed up in something I just couldn’t place my hand on. It was very clear that Henry knew so much about comfort that he admitted to me.

‘’I think the best option should be for you to leave now that you have the chance’’ Henry cautiously muttered, drawing back comfort’s attention to himself.

‘’you had the chance to help me when I so desperately needed help but instead of helping , you felt it was better to take advantage of a helpless girl. Don’t even try preaching any nonsense to me’’ she shouted at Henry, Cocking her gun in the process.

‘’you needed money which I gave to you via my own condition. I never asked you join cultism. I never asked you to cheat in your exams, I wasn’t the school panel that rusticated you. Simply walk away now and find a way of fixing your life instead of blaming everyone. Or do you want to shoot us first ?. Will it make you happy?’’ Henry suddenly blasted, speaking out as if he wasn’t scared of getting shot anymore. I simply listened on, unable to understand what was actually going on.

‘’in which school was comfort rusticated?’’ I wondered,
‘’no it isn’t my school. What are they talking about?’’ I wondered uncomfortably.

‘’’so you told your cousin that I’m a cultist?, after everything I did for you. My mess with Caleb even started because of you. I slept with him so that you could pass and graduate’’ Comfort suddenly faced the scared girl once again with red eyes.

‘’no, no let’s be sincere, you didn’t sleep with Mr. Caleb because of me. You did it because you wanted him for yourself, using the exam I missed as an opportunity to get close to him’’ the girl quickly defended, while I helplessly laid on the bed and listened on . I couldn’t believe the whole twists were so real. I felt so horrible listening to how I was used.

‘’anyway I have you all where I want. What will stop me from shooting you all and saving the last bullet for myself?. I’m tired of living in a world full of lies’’ she threatened, forcing me to sit up with great pain.

‘’I really need to know the truth. I’m still very confused. What’s going on?’’ I asked, drawing every attention back to myself. Unfortunately my mother in law walked in that moment with little Jessica in her arms, something I never expected to happen. It was very obvious they missed Jessica on the way.

‘’dear Lord’’ I gasped as the old woman walked in and froze with shock on sighting comfort holding a gun.
Comfort looked at me and smiled. My head exploded with tension. I couldn’t believe that the nurses on duty outside my room were yet to realize that something closer to a hostage situation was going on in their premises.

‘’please shut the door madam’’ Comfort commanded my mother in law who quickly obeyed.

‘’so what stops me from killing Jessica’s child just like she killed mine?’’ she asked, but no one made a single comment.

‘’please madam, hand over the baby to the good young man by your side’’ she commanded once again, leaving my mother in law with no choice than to hand over little Jessica to the detective who kind of had a hard time carrying the child. It was quite obvious he wasn’t used to it. I simply watched on, so terribly scared.

‘’I’m leaving for good. I’m so sorry things got this messy’’ Comfort said, throwing a quick look at me.

‘’good bye my love. You can now enjoy your life. You can now fix everything and start all over. I will never forget you though’’ she added, picked up the detective’s gun and ran out of the room like a quick athlete.
The detective gently returned little Jessica to my mother in law and ran after her but unfortunately the time he wasted handing the baby back to my mother in law was enough to give comfort a clear chance to getaway.

A gunshot soon rang out as the detective made his way to the crowded hospital reception, causing great uproar that shook the whole building. It was obvious someone has been shot.

‘’I hope someone hasn’t been shot?’’ I pondered with fear as we all stared at each other, Henry, my mother in law and the familiar looking lady.

PENDAGOGUE 👔📒.. season 2 ......Episode 20 ...

I returned to my house with a very heavy mind. i was so hungry, scared and uncertain of what next to do. Jessica hugged me as soon as she saw how scared I looked.

‘’I believe she’s hasn’t showed up yet?’’ she asked. I nodded and shrugged.

‘’that girl is just out to ruin us. We really need prayers’’ she breathed, and of course that was what I definitely needed the most. I needed God’s help in dealing with the situation. I couldn’t believe Comfort disappeared to take her own life. i just didn’t know what to believe anymore.
‘’dear LORD help me. Help and lead me to the right path. Haven’t I suffered enough?. I have learnt my lessons already. Please I beg of you, help me out please’’ I prayed earnestly.

———-

I woke up the next morning with a terrible headache. It was as if someone was hitting my head from inside with a hammer. I couldn’t even get out of the bed. Jessica as usual was very concerned and caring.

‘’I think you should take a rest today. You haven’t relaxed for quite sometime now. Please stop stressing yourself’’ she begged as she gave me paracetamol which I took and slept off again, waking hours later to see her dressed for outing.

‘’I’m going to the hospital with our daughter. Mum will accompany me because we will spend some time with dad at his house. You know we haven’t seen him for a while’’ she explained with a sweet smile.

‘’okay dearest just be careful when you leave the house’’ I added softly. She stared at me with surprise, drew forward and kissed me.

‘’is there anything you aren’t telling me?’’ she asked.

‘’no, but be careful when you leave the house’’ I said once again.

‘’I guess you will be at home till we return?’’ she asked.
‘’I really don’t know’’ I muttered with a deep breathe, remembering Comfort’s mother. I knew i had to check up on her.

——————————————-

Barely twenty minutes after my wife left the house with her mother and our daughter. I heard a loud knock on the door. I lazily dragged myself to the door, wondering who could be knocking so loudly. But as I opened the door I got the shock of my life. Standing before me was no other person than comfort.
She looked so unkempt, dirty and horrible but I was so overjoyed on seeing her.

‘’my God!, where went you?. Where have you been?’’ I asked. she instantly drew back with surprise in seeing me. It was as if she wasn’t expecting to see me but nevertheless quickly regained her composure, pushed me back into the sitting room, and gained access into my apartment in the process.

‘’where is Jessica?’’ she asked murderously, giving me the impression that she was out for a dangerous mission.

‘’she isn’t here, let’s go to your house’’ I stammered, drew forward and tried to hold her. She instantly backed away, pulling out a pistol which she aimed at me dangerously. My heart froze. I couldn’t believe it. I just couldn’t believe it.

‘’my God!, Comfort where did you get that from?’’ I asked with disbelief, not knowing what to do.
It was very obvious she knew what she was doing even though she looked like someone who had lost her mind. But no matter what I felt, she still was dangerous with the weapon of death she held.

‘’where is Jessica?, where is the stupid witch that killed my baby”’ she demanded furiously. I stared at her like a cornered rat, not knowing the best step to take. Of course I knew she wasn’t going to shoot me but the courage wasn’t there to reach forward and take the gun from her. Moreover I still was shocked to see her with such deadly weapon. For her to have such a thing meant she definitely knew how to use it.

‘’where is Jessica?’’’ she barked again,cocked the gun and headed to the bedroom in search of my wife who she probably felt was hiding.
Using the little opportunity her turned back presented, I dove and held her strongly, reaching for the gun, but she was a bit stronger than I expected, fighting bravely to free herself.
I was stronger and in no time my right hand was on the gun but just that same moment two shots rang out, sending me down with a sharp pain.

All I heard next was a loud cry from Comfort as she threw the gun and held me..

‘’noooooo my love. Noooooo’’ she screamed as she tried to hold me up. I tried to talk but couldn’t.

The room soon blackened out. I lost consciousness..

I opened my eyes to find myself in a hospital. My wife, my mother in law and detective Johnson were all present with a look of concern on their faces. I tried to smile but was unsuccessful. I tried to talk but couldn’t.

‘’oh dear Lord, he’s finally awake’’ Jessica breathed happily, handed over my little daughter to her mother, drew forward and sat beside me on the bed, touching my chest.

‘’baby’’ she breathed. I tried once again to force myself to talk but still couldn’t.

‘’please relax dearest. You are still in shock’’ Jessica said softly. I speechlessly stared at her as I slowly remembered what put me on the hospital bed. I quickly remembered Comfort. My heart beat quickly increased. I became overly scared.
I was scared because comfort was still free out there, probably lying in wait for Jessica and my little daughter. No one was there to stop her. I alone knew what the d--n girl was capable of. She shot me for God’s sake.

‘’I think he’s trying to say something but it’s a pity we have to wait till he recovers his speech’’ detective Johnson said aloud and shrugged.

‘’my God who could have done this to you. You have been here for almost eight hours. Two bullets were removed from your body. Luckily none of your vital organs were hit but you lost a lot of blood’’ Jessica said to me. I felt very bad. I cursed comfort for putting me is such lame condition. I cursed the day I met her. I simply stared at my loved ones unable to say a word.

‘’well I think it’s a case of robbery gone wrong. The hoodlums must have seen you and your mother leave the house and never expected to find your husband at home. A scuffle ensured and he got shot. They then went ahead to ransack the whole apartment and steal every valuable thing they could find. The most confusing thing here is why none of your neighbors saw a thing?. I guess they are scared of getting involved or they don’t trust the police. None of them are saying anything and I cant even find the good neighbor who used your husband’s phone to call me. She really saved his life with it. I guess we have to wait till he gets better. Perhaps he can give us a lead.’’ the detective summarized while I listened painfully. I just couldn’t do anything than listen.

A doctor soon walked in with a smile, checked me up and tapped my shoulder.
‘’you are a very strong man Mr Caleb. You will be discharged in few days. Just keep the spirit up’’ he said professionally.
————————————

I woke up very early the next day to see Jessica sleeping on a chair beside me. Tears fell from my eyes as I watched her silently. Of course I deserved everything happening to me. I brought ant infested wood into my house and deserved everything I got out of it. But Jessica didn’t deserve all these. I just couldn’t imagine what comfort was up to, nor where she was. I felt so helpless watching my wife so vulnerable unaware of the risk she was facing.

My eyes closed once again as the thoughts crossed my mind. I slept afterwards, waking hours later to see Jessica smiling at me.

‘’my love. My dearest. I so much love you” she breathed with a smile. I swallowed hard.

‘’you are so brave my darling. You stay strong’’ she added, kissing my forehead.

‘’our daughter is with my mother. They spent the night in my dad’s house. I will be leaving for some minutes. I have to go freshen up, feed our daughter and get your food. I will be back in thirty minutes. I equally spoke with your parents last night. They will come over today’’ she said sweetly.

‘’Comfort. Comfort. comfort shot me’’ I stammered, shocking my dear wife with the unexpected news. She instantly gasped.

‘’what!, comfort did what?’’ she asked with disbelief.

‘’call detective Johnson. Tell him the d--n girl is out in the loose. You are in danger. You and our daughter is her target. Please call the detective.’’ I begged, sweat drenching my body as I used up all my strength to talk.

‘’of course I will. I will call the detective on my way out’’ she muttered, grabbed her bag and ran out… I quietly prayed to God to guide and protect her.

‘’dear lord please don’t let anything happen to her’’ I prayed with tears.

Jessica had barely left the hospital when comfort appeared from nowhere showing up like a ghost. I panicked on seeing her. I just didn’t know what to make of her presence. I couldn’t figure out if she was there to finish me up or to do something else. I helplessly stared at her as she drew closer and sat on my bed with a face devoid of any expression.
