Chapter 5 Black ink marks

Chapter 5

The moment Dr June disappeared, Natasha closed the door from inside then headed to the bathroom.She filled the bath tab with warm water and allowed her body to get soaked.She closed her eyes as bitter tears continued flowing down her cheeks.

She had tried convincing herself that she was not going to cry anymore for him but she could not stop her self.It was true that loving someone could be so sweet and on the other hand could be so painful.

The moment she left Kenny's house, she did not even know where she was going.Her step mother had always treated her very harshly and she did not think about going to the Johnson family.

Her father, Johnson Peter had died in a car accident that involved his and Sophia's car, Kenny's girlfriend and Sophia went into a two years coma and only woke up that day.

Kenny had told her that he was driving while drunk but Natasha knew that her father would never do such a thing.She was told that he died on a car accident.

Her mother , Sasha had committed suicide when she realized that her husband had another woman who had a child with her husband.

Thinking about her dad,the best man she knew, Natasha felt a large lump in her throat.She didn't know what she had done to deserve it all that was happening in her in life.

Her mother committed suicide,her dad died in an accident and the only person she thought would give he happiness disappointed her.She even questioned her existence. She thought that she was a bad lack to the society.

If not for Dr June,maybe she would have slept on the streets that night.Dr June was the one who had been attending to her everytime she visited the hospital.He was the one who told her that her blood was being given to Kenny's girlfriend and that she did not have any kind of illness.

If not for him, she would never have realized that Kenny had been using her as a blood bank for two years.She had thought that Kenny loved her but she now realized that she had been lying to herself from the very beginning.

After staying in the bathroom for almost an hour, she wiped her body dry and picked some pyjamas from her bag before putting them on.She was not in the mood to eat anything so she lay on the bed to sleep.After a few minutes,she was already asleep.

On the other side, Kenny rushed to the hospital and inside the ward she saw Sophia lying on bed with her eyes open.His mother was holding her hand as she talked to her.

"Kenny, you are here, where did you go?" She asked.

"I was going to meet a friend when you called me," he said as he pulled a chair to sit at the side of the bed.

"Kenny, you should always keep her company, don't leave her alone, she has just woken up from the coma and who knows if something might happen to her again," she said.

"It's okey mum," Kenny responded."When is she going to be discharged?" Kenny asked.

"The doctors said that she should stay till tomorrow so that they can observe her closely," Kenny's mother explained.

Mother Kenny stood up and went outside to pick up her phone which was vibrating.She looked every corner to make sure that there was no one to eavesdrop her conversation.

"Are they divorced? Where is she?" Mother Kenny asked.

"Yes madam, he signed the divorce papers and she left," she heard the voice from the other end of the phone.

"Good work," she responded before ending the call.

Inside the hospital ward,Kenny did not utter even a single ward to Sophia.He could roughly guess that she had faked the fainting so that he could not chase after Natasha.Kenny could not stop thinking about her but he was sure that she was okey since June had already taken care of her.

Mother Kenny came in later and sat beside the bed as if she had done nothing.Kenny looked at his mother and he could guess that she was behaving suspiciously but he could not bring himself to question her.He did not want to make a single mistake that would cost Natasha's life.

"Sophia, how are you feeling now?" Mother Kenny asked.

"Am okey, don't worry too much mum," she responded in a low voice.

"Okey daughter, you don't have to strain yourself, with Kenny here, am sure that you will get better quickly," mother Kenny said.

Inside her heart Sophia did not want to think that Kenny did not love her.She convinced herself that she was the one that Kenny loved and he will marry her.With his mother around, Sophia was sure that Kenny would never disrespect his mother so if she asks him to marry her then he would eventually marry her.

It was her biggest dream to become Kenny's wife and she did not want any woman to have him.

"Kenny,I have to leave and I hope you will take good care of her," mother Kenny spoke.

"No mum, you can't leave her alone, you have to stay so that you can help her do things that I am not able to help her do," he quickly said.

Kenny did not want to be left alone with Sophia.

Everytime he looked at her, he felt nothing other than hatred and disgust.

Everytime she tried touching his body, he felt as if he could throw away her filthy hands every time he washed the place she had touched thoroughly, but he was not able to do that.

Kenny did not want them to guess his intentions, since if they found out about his plan, then he would not be able to save Natasha.

He needed to make them believe that he was in love with Sophia and was planning to marry her.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated and he stood up to go and make the call.

"We need to talk at our usual place," he heard the voice from the other end of the call.

Kenny went inside the hospital again. He kissed his mum on the forehead, then did the same to Sophia.

"Mum, I am going home to pick up a few clothes for Sophia and you and also my laptop, since there is something I need to work on. I'll be back in a few minutes," he said as he forced a smile.

He asked the hospital staff to bring another small bed for his mother so that she could rest next to Sophia.

"Sophia,mom, you two should rest and I will be back," he said.

Sophia felt happy too when she heard his caring words.

Mother Kenny nodded her head," It's okay son, drive safely."

Kenny quickly drove out of the hospital.
