#THE_DIARY_OF_NIGRIAN *#JAMESS #WAYWARD #LIFE* EPISODE SEVEN (7) FINAL EPISODE BUT how could my boxer have disappeared into thin air just like that? Since when did boxers grow wings for flying? Anyway, somethings are better left unsaid. . . . FEW WEEKS LATER. . . While I was brushing my teeth one morning, I overheard a conversation between my Mum and Mrs. Lateefah. My Mum was telling Mrs. Lateefah that she could observe signs of pregnancy in her. Mrs. Lateefah comfirmed it. My heart skipped a beat. How on earth would my Mum ever believe that Mrs. Lateefah was carrying her grandchild? How on earth would she believe that Amanda is her grand daughter? My mum must never hear of it. My Dad must never have a glimpse about it. I must ensure that the secret is hidden under the sun for eternity. That evening, Amanda came to our house. She was with her school bag. She said she wants me to help her out with an assignment; to draw the landscape around the mountain at the back of our house. I agreed. Anything for my daughter. And so we went to the mountain. And she gave me a plane sheet of paper and a HB pencil. And I started drawing. I noticed something strange about Amanda. While I was drawing, her hand was in her bag. when I raised my head to look at her, she would give a smile. . . A kinda devilish smile. But I trusted my daughter much enough. At a point I ignored her and was fully absorbed in the landscape drawing. Withing seconds, the atmosphere of the environment changed. Amanda removed a pair of scissors from her bag. . . . And as she did, she screamed,...... You slept with my mum! Before I could blink an eye, she stabbed me on my stomach; She stabbed me again. She was going to stab me a third time when I used the last strength Ive got and kicked her very hard on her stomach. We both screamed in excruciating pain. ::::;;;::::::::::::;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;:: *...We both screamed in excruciating pain* Neighbours around heard our screams and came to find out what was happening. They rushed us to a nearby hospital. Amanda and I were admitted in the same ward. I was in coma for several hours. When I finally regained consciousness, I still pretended I was unconscious. The following people were in the ward: My parents, two neighbours from our street, Mrs. Lateefah and her husband. Honestly, it would have been better I never woke up from the stabbing. Amanda was on drip. Her case wasnt that serious. She was giving answers to their numerous questions Amanda knew all these while. She actually caught her Mum and I together. She had been with my boxer all these while. She had waited for me to think all was fine. . . And then she striked. Still feeling very shocked, Mrs. Lateefahs husband went to the doctor. A test was performed on him. The result showed that he was impotent. He demanded an explanation from his wife; to tell him how she got the pregnancy. She didnt hide a thing. She unleashed the whole secret. She told him I am the biological father of Amanda and the baby she was carrying in her womb. The ward was silent. Everyone was shocked. My Dad broke the silence. He said to me,From today henceforth, you are no longer my son! then he walked out of the ward and bounced the door. By this time, I was sweating and panting profusely in my FALSE state of unconsciousness; I wished it was one of my numerous dreams. But it was all happening for real. Now the two neighbours from our street had also left the ward. I blinked my eyes. My Mum was at one end with her hands folded and her mouth wide open. Mrs. Lateefah was at the other end, crying ocean from her eyes. Mrs. Lateefahs husband walked up to her. I thought he was going to strangle her. But he didnt! He put one hand on her shoulder. . . Then he used the other to wipe the tears off her face. He walked up and sat beside me. He held my hand and felt my cheek. Its alright! he said with a sad tone in his voice. He seemed to have forgiven me. But I dont think I can ever face that man in my entire life. As I laid on the bed with my eyes closed, I realised I was wrong all along. Hmmmm, I wish I should just rest on the bed till eternity. The secret didnt go with me down to the grave. Indeed, nothing can be hidden under the sun!! ....THE END...
