CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was a blessed beautiful new dawn that slowly transformed into a bright morning. The long-anticipated day had finally presented itself with a clear blue sky. Nevertheless, it would be a fat lie if Esther claimed that she'd any interest in seeing it despite all its splendidness; the glimmer of the beaming rays of the sunrise that streamed through her window, the calm breeze that blew inside her room, the fragrant smell of roses which Jina had gathered outside the garden before the cock crow; these, she had deftly woven into garlands that she hung in the living room and they seemed to transmit their pleasant scent to the whole mansion. All these seemed to draw Esther into much distress. It's been hours since she woke up. To say the least, she hardly winked the whole night. As everyone was too expectant to embrace the pleasures of Britton's birthday, she spent the entire night trying on the awkward outfit that Jina had bought her.

It was a slap breakfast that should have been enjoyed by everyone, and yes, everyone did except Esther. She was anxious. Every minute that passed contracted her palate. She was tense and ground the food until it was pap in her mouth. Even then, it was hard to swallow it down her throat. Mellisa kept peeking at her and wondered, "Why isn't she eating?" She had no inkling what Esther was going through, but intuitively knew she was anxious. "This is so frustrating! I must feign sickness. I can't go." She thought. It wouldn't be easy for her to execute this plan particularly because it was never her suit.When breakfast was over, which she practically barely touched, she preceded everyone from the table and her cousins followed her.Jina lingered at them and shouted, "Girls, try to keep time. We still have a lot to do and there is little or no time left."

Esther gave her body a nice scrub and got out of the shower. In a few minutes, but as soon as she entered her room, heat consumed her. It felt as if she was being steamed. Fear and anxiety gripped her and caused her a lot of discomforts. Suddenly, she heard Jina already screaming downstairs summoning everyone out."Please, hurry up everyone." She shouted climbing up and down the stairs as if she was crazy. She did it so repetitiously that Richard started to get irritated."Honey, take it easy. It's just an hour's drive." He said blow-drying his hair." You don't understand, dear." She said, advancing to where he sat. Pat will scold me if I delay for even a minute. He's always been impatient."Ok, I know, but whimpering won't help. Why don't you dress up first? Unless you

"Oh my God!" Richard spoke in an undertone of bafflement. Everyone turned and looked at Esther with admiring glances except Jina, whose intended purpose seemed to have been ruined. Her jaw dropped as a vent of anger filled her heart.Esther's beauty was breathtaking. She lingered on the entrance and faced everyone and then realising that all eyes were on her, smiled slightly and bowed her face, their intrusive stares making her uncomfortable. Just like everyone, she couldn't believe that she was the same poor girl whose identity and appearance had always been unnoticeable and always proved to her that she was a complete derogate."Isn't my daughter very stunning today, Jina? What a gem!" He exclaimed feelingly in a deep sweet warm voice and snuggled close up to his wife, leaning on her shoulder, his heart flooding with affection and admiration for Esther.

A set of white tents popped out in the middle distance. Jina and the kids had been so engaged in a chit chat and none of them realised that they had almost reached their destination until he notified them. "My dears, we are just a few metres off Patt's residence." "Yippee!" Mellisa screamed in excitement. "That was so swift, dad. This wasn't a ride but a flight." "Do you think so?" "She's right. You really stepped on it, honey. You have the experience and tact." Said Jina with a benign smile on her face. "As always, I am the best- in everything." He said proudly and snorted with laughter. Jina nodded agreeably with an alluring stare. "I do not doubt that, so I ca

"Why did Julie come here? She ought to ruin my day." He muttered and rapidly withdrew his eyes trying to ignore him. A spasm of fear seized him. There was no way he would avoid her and knowing her obsession with him she was already going gaga to sit at the table on her right close to her fella, her sloe eyes luring him. Richard couldn't refrain from peeking at him and as he did, Julie blew him a kiss and then leered at him. Esther saw her face was subdued. She was behaving in an uncivil way with Richard. "She is a whore, look at how she's rolling her devilish eyes. I won't stop myself if she does it again." She thought and kept looking at her with accusing eyes. Julie met her gaze and gave her an unflinching stare and sneered.Richard felt uneasy. Jina would be enraged if she caught sight of the ugly spectacle."This crazy woman is here to cause me

Jina exchanged greetings to one of patts in-laws who was standing outside the entrance and inquired," Have you by chance seen Richard around?""no, thank you. I have been here for just a couple of minutes. the man with a missing tooth in front responded with a dashing smile and then hearing the clapping inside went in. Jina was confused. "If Richard is still in the restroom it only means there is a problem," she muttered, straying her eyes near and far and seeing no sign of him, taking the route to the restroom in the male wing expressing worry on her face.minutes had passed since Richard and Julie interlocked in the whims of passion.Richard luckily gained his senses and released his grip but Julie glued on his chest.

At the sound of Julie's voice, fear lanced through Richard's heart. He got the jitters and gasped stupefied. Jina instantly twisted and turned to look back and her eyes met the stranger, who seemed to have an acquaintance with her husband, something she couldn't trivially consider.The unlined skin on her forehead quickly formed deep furrows as her eyes narrowed into a hard stare which made Julie slightly unnerved. "You can't become shaky in front of her. Soon you will overthrow her. Firm up, Julie. It's high time you let the truth hang out." She told herself and veiled her nervousness with a radiant smile and walked towards them.Richard's knees shook. He could hear the sound of her footsteps as she came closer. "Julie, you have succeeded in ruining me, why are you doing this?" He contemplated in fear and sweat streamed down his body. Jina snorted

A hunk of a man in his youthful ages- perhaps 27 years or in that range, with dark narrow eyes and thick lips dressed in faded jeans and a light blue old T-shirt with a white-collar stood in front of Richard's portal. His untrimmed beard and his thick grown awry hair leave us to think that he's either untamed or his unfavourable circumstances could have contributed to his weird appearance. Either way, the truth opt to unveil his true identity. He lugs his stuffed travelling bag across and props it on the wall on his left near the strong pillar of the solid wall fence.Seeming uncertain, he lingers around in the direction of the path with a display of impatience and then decided to walk around admiring the blooming rose flowers planted near the fence inhaling their enchanting sweet fragrance.Jina noticed the presumed stranger first.

Their flight was at noon. Esther's crew sat charting in the departure lounge as they waited. Five minutes towards the flight, they had an alert. They had to leave the terminal. It was time to bid goodbyes, which is never an easy thing to do. Simon and Esther broke off and headed on to board the plane. Suddenly a middle-aged lady came running after them shouting and flagging down Esther, "Hey, Esther, wait! I have something important to tell you." She was looking desperate and weak with sunken eyes and a thin body, her hair rumpled. Esther looked behind and saw her and stopped, poking at Simon, " That lady…" "Love, do you recognise her?" Simon asked. Anyone would have thought she was mad gauging her appearance, but Esther decided to talk to her because, how did she get to know her name? There must be some co

Simon was now a desperate man. His luck presided in the hands of destiny. He was glad that at last Queen had regained her memory but on his part, it could have a negative impact, that is; if Queen failed to recollect ever having been part of his life. Richard would certainly accuse him and the mayor's family of keeping her away from her family. Do you know what would happen? He wouldn't spare them but send them to jail and they would rot there. So much the worse is that Simon ought to die of desperation for we all are acutely aware of his terrific love for Esther. He leaned against the wall and observed her sweet tender face incapable of accepting her rejection.Dr Ben stared at his desolate face and was touched. On mature consideration, he walks to him and tries to console him,"Take heart, Simon. Who knows, maybe when she wakes up agai

"Reverand, I need your help…" Simon spoke on the phone for quite a long time and in forty minutes, a light-skinned man dressed in a long white cassock came in and found him alone sitting on the chair conversing with Queen as if he was crazy. He didn't see him come in. The reverend stood behind him and listened to his monologue and was baffled, "What kind of faith is his! Surely the good Lord will not abandon him!" He meditated and tapped on him, "Son!" Simon jolted,"Eh, Reverand Antonio, welcome. Are you ready?" His face frowned."Son, are you sure that you want to do this?""Yes, Queen will love this. She was so happy before her wedding day. I am sure she will be much happier if she wakes up and finds out that she's already married to me. Nothing will ever separate us then."

Marriage eve "Simon!!" The noise was too loud to awaken a lying ghost. He had almost pushed it through his flesh until he saw her desperate face. "Kill me instead." She said coming closer. His hands shook with the knife. "Don't come close, Queen. I don't want to see your tears anymore. At Least save them for the future. Promise you will not lay a wreath on my tomb." Tears spilt down his face like rain. Miguel's legs were numb and he knelt on the floor begging for forgiveness. Emilia followed suit but their pleading voices were like thorns pricking deep in his heart. "Love, give me that!" Esther beseeched and he became weaker and weaker as if her timid voice was controlling him. To Emilia, this was a sign of what his son's life would be like if they got married; a putty in her

Simon sped off jauntily, jingling the car keys in his hands and came to the living room, his eyes scouring for his love. Esther sat sulking on the chair in the corner, her mind immersed in deep thought and her heart intense in sadness. Simon spotted her and shouted with verve, "Love!" Her head jerked up and she noticed that his face was swathed in a smile. It was symbolic of some good news but she seemed disinterested and merely returned a phoney smile. He moved nimbly towards her and enfolded her in his arms with vitality, "Love, finally mom and dad have accepted our relationship! We are getting married in two weeks!" He was extremely ecstatic."Really?""Yes, love! Very soon you'll be my legal wife- my better half!" He gave hearty laughter, kissed her and swung her around with a feeling of triumph.She had mixed f

There was a mien of fear in Maxwell's eyes because Sylvia dawdled to decide. "Three failed marriages!" She contemplated this and had niggling doubts about this sudden relationship; It was best to nip it in the bud before a heartbreak."Won't you mend my broken heart?" He asked in a shaky voice. Her silence seemed to deplete all his boldness and he was nervous."What a joker!" Emilia said and gave a mocking smile. She was having fun just like Miguel who was killing himself laughing.Suddenly, Simon, Nisha and Nathan started cheering, encouraging and coaxing Sylvia, "Say yes, say yes…" And the applause went on and on. She hoisted her face and gazed at them. They were happy for her, so why wouldn't she be happy for herself? Then she shifted her gaze to the man trembling in front of her and saw the tr

Esther saw Emilia first and quaked with fear trying to recoil from Simon's embrace and muttered,"Love, stop- it's your mother!"He twisted his neck and looked at Emilia and then ravished Esther with a kiss."It's high time she got used to this, love. I don't see any reason why I should feel guilty to show affection to the woman I love, otherwise, she might mistake me for a loveless man. Have you heard about this? He chuckled heartily and was ludic for a moment which made Emilia almost choke with a lump in her throat. Her lips quivered and she was speechless with rage. However, they knew that her silence was just a lull. She flew downstairs and went to look for Sylvia in her room because she had a lot to answer."How could she let this happen?. She will not l

WARNING!!!Contains explicit scenes. Read at your peril.Esther didn't have any idea what to do or how to start, but when she saw the docility of Simon lying stiff on the bed near the oxygen machine, she flurried and run to him,"Simon, please don't leave." She lamented, her voice trembling with anxiety. She gave him a firm grip on his hand and fiddled his cold face. "It's me, love, wake up, don't do this to me... Okay, I accept I fouled up, but...I don't know how or when it happened. Maybe it was my frailty- the frailty of human nature. You hate me, don't you? I promise I will go far away from you, but you must wake up."Her eyes fraught with tears and she drew much closer and with fervour, she kissed him. Suddenly, his chest heaved and she stopped conscious of what she might have perceived as friv

Simon's health degenerated day by day which dealt a blow in Esther's heart and compelled her to contrive to stay around for the time being until the conundrum had been solved. Then one night- one cold night, he broke into continuous hiccups and had complications with breathing. Dr Maxwell came out of the room vexed and spoke to Miguel, "This is fatal!" Said Dr Maxwell. He was one of the most reputable doctors in the city. He too was frightened. Miguel jerked, debilitated by the doctor's statement. "What are you implying?" " He's not doing well, not at all!" How could he tell him bluntly that his son was on death's door? "I'll put him on the life-giving machine immediately. May God have mercy!" He turned to go, and
