Not My Fault Chapter 32
Chief Adejare surveyed his son from where he sat opposite him, trying unsuccessfully to hide his unease from his father's ever watchful eyes.Chief Adejare had sent for his son, Dapo that day, using the opportunity of his wife's short absence to have a heart-to-heart talk with his only child, who, sadly, was not following in his father's legacy.He had instructed their chef to make one of Dapo's favourite dishes of spaghetti risotto served with succulently spiced goat meat, just like Dapo liked it. He had topped it up with a chilled bottle of non-alcoholic wine.Dapo had been pleasantly surprised when he sat at table with his father. Only his mother could have taken such great troubles to put a smile on his face like this but she was far away in Ilesa, their hometown, making preparations with the members of their families for his forthcoming wedding ceremony.Dapo's tongue had been loosened by the hearty meal and he had chatted on rather unguardedly with his father in the course of the

"Snap out of this melancholic mood, man!" Dare scolded his friend, Dapo, whom he had come to see after his several phone calls had been rebuffed by Dapo. The situation must have been quite serious for his friend, Dapo to have shut down and kept to himself and also miss club attendance for three consecutive nights, especially when 'Kard Dee', his favourite rap artist was featuringO. on those nights.Dare had even had to let himself into his friend's apartment with his spare key, which, thankfully he had brought along with him, as his incessant knocking had not been answered. He found Dapo sprawled on his large bed in the master bedroom, amid half a dozen empty bottles of alcoholic drinks of different sizes, starring into space.Dare scoffed as he beheld his friend's listless form on the bed. He had nothing but his boxers on. Dar

Osaro and his daughter were in the Kaodiliyes' well-lit garden. His wife had made sure that he made the second visit in a single day, and at night too, not giving in to his 'flimsy excuse' of not liking the idea of driving in the night."Let one of the drivers take you then! When Ame sees you again tonight, she'll know that the case on hand is a serious one." Rosa had knocked out his excuse with her retort.Osaro had had no choice than to tell Bello, one of his seasoned drivers, to drive him, in an unmarked car, to the Kaodiliyes'. Osaro was rather thankful that neither Ego, nor her mother, the matron, was at home when he made his nocturnal visit to their house. And, the Colonel was

Ego walked briskly to the reception, where the receptionist had a caller on hold for her. As she made her way downstairs to receive the impromptu call, she wondered at the urgency of the call and was surprised that her boss could have allowed her to even pick the call in the first place. The top executives in her company were in the middle of a tough deliberation as regards the recent relocation of some sensitive equipment to their sister factory and the government officials treating the issue were trying to act smart. She gave Amanda, the receptionist a brief smile as she picked up the receiver on the large semi-circular desk that took up half of the floor space. She turned her back discreetly at the young lady at the desk as she spoke into the phone.

Osahon stood defiantly before his father. He was in his father's study and his father, now playing judge, sat at his desk, presiding. His cousin-cum-brother, Segun, on a visit with the family, stood at a respectable distance from the desk where Osaro sat. Rosa Obasogie was noticeably absent.Osaro was tapping the top of his desk as he addressed his younger son. "I will have no child of mine exhibit any trait of hooliganism, Osahon! You were not so taught!""But dad, he-" Osahon began to protest defiantly but his father's roar startled him into silence."No more meddlin

Obiageli Kaodiliye tossed restlessly again on her bed. The nightmare never left her alone. She knew that her conscience will forever hold her guilty before a holy God, Who had demanded nothing but holiness from her. Yet she was afraid, deeply afraid of being misunderstood. Her dear husband had been away for two weeks now on an official duty, and she could not discuss her inner turmoil with him over the phone. These were the times when she really wished he was around her. She knew he would have given her sound counsel on how to approach such matters.Ego was a 'no-no' as the fervent preparations for both her marriage and that of her friend's was eating up her whole attention. She rarely had time for anything else. And, how would her daughter have taken her mother's appalling and unfounded allegations? Ego could be heady most times, and Obiageli was not sure if approaching her daughter would settle the present

There was a mild shower in the morning on Ame's wedding day. Ame had turned down the beauticians her mother had sent to her, choosing only to be attended to by her best friend, Nwakaego Kaodiliye. For her wedding dress, since her mother-in-law, Mrs Abiola Adejare had insisted on providing it, she had chosen a silver, ankle-length gown which enhanced her curves to an advantage. The shimmering ankle-length cape attached to the dress added to the beauty of the dress and made Ame look like a dazzling nymph. For her adornment, Ame wore the diamond necklace which Philip had given her, her mother had given her a pair of diamond earrings and diamond bracelet to accentuate her necklace. She wore the silver Swiss wrist watch which her father had given her on her twenty-third birthday. The only makeup she wore was the pale peach lipstick that Philip liked. And, she had also insisted on wearing her hair in the style Philip had preferred. Her dressing on her wedding day was all for her dead love,

"Ol' boy, you really strong o!" Dare's voice hailed Dapo at the other end. His wife was out shopping by herself and so Dapo had taken the liberty to call his friend back home in Nigeria to break the news of his wife's pregnancy to him.Abiola Adejare had been ecstatic when she received the news hours earlier and had promised her son 'the package' on his return to Nigeria."Any improvements after that first night?" Dare asked his friend. The couple were in their fourth week of honeymoon in Los Angeles, America because Ame refused to go back home yet.Dapo hissed in answer to his friend's question. He didn't want to remember the ugly incident. They had reached America the next day of their travel and Ame had claimed jet lag and tiredness as an excuse not to perform her conjugal duty to her husband on that first night. The wife's continual rejection the whole week long had made the young husband take to the bottle and on their fifth night in America, a drunken Dapo had forced himself on h

The early morning sun smiled down warmly as Amenaghawon Obasogie made her way out of her father's limousine and into the grand Cathedral. She floated down the aisle on the arms of her father, who was dressed in the full traditional attire of a Bini chief. Philip and his best man, Julius, waited patiently at the level ground before the altar. When his bride reached him, Philip was expected to lead her upwards to the altar, where they would be joined in holy matrimony before a holy God and man.Julius, now a law student in a prestigious school in America, where he and Omar had since relocated to, had flown in all the way from America to grace his best friend's wedding. Omar too was in attendance, having flown in from Liberia, where he was attending a world summit Leadership conference.Even Philip's surrogate family members were also in attendance, with two of Amanda's children also there to give their support.

"What?!" Ame began to shake violently. Segun quickly grabbed her and tried soothe her. Femi held her hands more firmly. Osahon moved closer to them as well. Between them, Segun and Femi did their best to calm her down.Ame found it hard to believe that Philip Omagbemi, the man she had loved almost all her adult life was alive! He had been alive all these while when she had cried out her heart sore, pining for him? He had been alive all those harrowing months when she had gone through the traumatic experience of the after effects of being raped, and then the gruesome torture of a loveless marriage to Dapo Adejare as a result of being found pregnant by her rapists! Oh, that her Philip had been alive, and walking the surface of this same earth as she had given herself up, albeit unwillingly, to a passionate experience in the arms of another man!The tears flowed down her cheeks unhindered and none of the men in the room made any effort to stop them.

"Nah wah o! Things are happening in this our hospital o!" a nurse retorted."Are you telling me!" was the reply her partner gave.The two nurses sat conversing among a cluster of trees near the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Ward, just idling away as they were on their break period."Who would ever believe that Obasogies's daughter would ever be brought to our hospital?!" one of the nurses asked as she turned to her friend, her eyes wide with an awesome wonder.Her friend gave a short, mirthless laugh as she rolled her eyes. "Babe con see security! It was her former husband's father that visited her the other day o, after her child died!" The nurse informed her friend as she shook her head sadly."Eyah!" Her partner swept her hands to cover her mouth in pity. "No wonder! Chai, that woman don suffer! I pity her o!" She shook her head sadly. Then she looked at her friend as she asked curiously, "But why did her husband not come to visit her, at lea
Not My Fault Chapter 63
A group of medical persons comprising of doctors, nurses and attendants was already converging when Dr. Philip Omagbemi made his way to the wide doors leading to the emergency theatre of the hospital. From the snatches of hurried conversations around him, he gathered that it was a critical case involving multiple patients; a case of 'hit and run' involving a mother and her child, who had been brought into their hospital as a last resort, having been rejected by the hospital nearest to the scene of the accident.Dr. Omagbemi carefully washed his hands in the bowl of antiseptic liquid held before him by one of the attendant nurses. He went forward and another nurse decked him in the operating theatre garb, complete with the cap. Other surgeons were being attended to in the same manner somewhere in the large corridor.Soon, some nurses wheeled in two gunneries on which the bloody forms of the mother and her child were placed. The Chief Surgeon chose a handful of med

Osahon parked his vehicle near a cluster of trees by the sidewalk. It had been a herculean task digging up Dr. Philip Omagbemi's whereabouts as he had had to go 'solo' mostly, seeing that none of the elderly ones around him would approve of his schemings, but he wanted what was best for his sister. He had to make this right by her; he had to seek out her old love."Excuse me, please I'm here to see Dr. Philip Omagbemi," he told the pretty-looking nurse at the reception desk.The pretty nurse looked up from the file she had before her and flashed a sweet, welcoming smile at Osahon."Do you have a previous appointment sir?" she asked him sweetly, giving him all her attention.Osahon briskly shook his head as he turned on his charms."I'm afraid not, Miss. You see," He leaned in closer to her as his voice dropped into a whisper, which the nurse strained to hear. "This is a surprise visit of sorts!" He laughed as if he had just divulgeded some kind of

Nurse Bolanle was idling by the reception desk and having a light banter with the nurses at the reception desk when Philip's name came up."Enhen, how far with you and your bobo, nurse Bolanle?" One of the nurses asked and all eyes feasted on nurse Bolanle for her answer."Don't try me o, nurse Benedict! My plans are going to be put in effect asap!" Nurse Bolanle laughed lightly as she batted her eyelids at her colleagues. Everyone laughed at her comic display then one of them asked a question."Abeg, which one be 'asap' again o?!"Before Nurse Bolanle could even reply, another nurse hissed loudly and then retorted, "Mumu, like you! Must you show your stupidity?! Who doesn't know that 'asap' means 'as soon as possible'?!""Is that the reason you should insult me then, madam 'know it all'!" the insulted nurse attacked back as she gave her colleague a withering look."Enough, both of you! My bobo is heading this way!" Nurse Bolanle quietened the squabbling nurses. She adjusted herself as

Philip descended the short flight of steps from the plane onto the tarmac. He looked around him and took stock of his surroundings. The Murtala Mohammed International Airport; the MMA, had not changed much in the three years and four months that he had been away.

But for God's mercy to him, he had never thought that he would see his beloved country again.He knew his surrogate mother was wrong when she had said that Nigeria had nothing to offer him anymore. His beloved Ame walked on the very soil of this land, and though her father's re

Femi sat tensed on the single seater where he sat, not moving. He was oblivious to the tears that ran, unchecked down his face. Ame sat before him, dry eyed and seemingly looking unbothered but he knew she had been through hell and back. He could not begin to fathom how she had single-handedly gone through the ordeal she was now narrating to him.He had flown her and her daughter out of Ibadan over to his place in Jos, to offer her respite from the ordeal of the unpleasant publicity which her separation from her husband, Dapo Adejare, had caused.
