đ«đ The Other Woman Episode Thirty Eight:
By morning, mama had already been discharged, just as the doctor had said and she was sitting in the back seat, behind Nkem and her husband, as they drove home.
She woke up to find herself on the hospital bed, and had been both surprised and worried, afraid that something serious could be wrong with her.
âMama, you know Iâll tell you if thereâs any reason to worry. Believe me, the doctor said you just passed out because you were worrying too muchâ Joe told her, when she kept asking to be told what exactly was wrong with her.
But she was only able to relax, after Nkem put in some words too, begging her not to worry so much about anything.
âWere you able to reach the pregnant girl?â she asked all of a sudden, as their car continued to glide along the tarred road, towards their house.
The couple exchanged worried glances, recalling than they had both agreed to ensure that mama didnât have to see reasons to worry about Farida and Max.
âOh yes. I was told they travelled to see Faridaâs fatherâ Joe said tersly, his grip on the steering wheel, getting tighter
âWonderful! So they are already looking for ways to get their union legal, when they are yet to sort things out with the people, whose lives they have tried to mess up?
âRemind me Joe, but does she have the right, by law, to get married to another person, when sheâs still married to you?â mama asked her son.
âActually mama, I was told they wanted an elderly person to be with them when they come to ask me to let her go be with the father of her unborn child, and to inform me officially, that the child is actually not mineâ Joe lied to his mother, not knowing how to tell her that Farida and Max, had gone missing, without making her worry some more.
Very early that morning, he had called to know the situation of things, and didnât know whether to be happy or to get more worried with the report the officer gave him.
âAll the boys on the mission had been captured, with some of them falling in the course of exchange of gĂ»n shots between them and my men.
âBut their leader was nowhere to be found, same as their target and his companion.
âI had my boys searching for them in the neighbourhood, and even had to expand my perimeter, but we were unable to get Stone and the kidsâ the police officer had told Joe.
âMy God! What does this mean? Could they have been taken away from the crĂŹmĂš scene before your boys arrived?â Joe asked the officer, who said he wasnât quite sure of what had happened.
âI am still trying to wrap my hands around all that is playing out in this case. Weâll continue with investigations, and let you know whatever comes up laterâ he told Joe, and hung up.
Joe and Nkem continued to analyze the situation with Amarachi and Ben, and in time, Ben came up with some points.
“Could they have been captured and taken away by Stone, before the police arrived?” Nkem asked
âIf they had already been captured and taken away by Stone, I do not see any reason his boys still had to make an appearance, and put up the fight the fight they put up with the police.
âTheir boss didnât sound like he needed to be in the picture, from how carefully, he had already made the plans for the operation. So he could have chosen to stay back and wait for the boys to do the dĂŹrty work.
âBut the question is, where are they? Where is Farida and Max? Why did they choose to go offline, at this time?
âIs it possible that they had coincidentally both gone off because their phones ran out of battery?
âIsnât it so much of a coincidence that they both went dark, on the very night that they were targets of a notorious Ă ssassin?â Ben asked.
âYou are so right Ben. If the target was already out of location, the boys had no reason to make the attempts that they madeâ Joe concurred.
They talked and deliberated on the matter, until they came to the conclusion, that since Mandy mentioned Faridaâs father when she called Farida that night, the two lovers may have gone to see Faridaâs dad.
But there was no way Joe was going to tell his mother that they were only making postulations and trying to assume this, from that!
He was happy though that he had been able to quench his mother’s curiosity, and she was back to talking about the things she wanted to get before Nkem out to bed.
Before they left, Ben told Joe and Nkem to go on, promising to bring Amarachi home, when he was done with what the hospitalâs MD asked him to help fix with the CCTV cameras for a particular section of the hospital.
So after they left, he went down to work, trying to sort out the things his boss needed him to do, before he left.
Amarachi was surfing the internet, keeping herself busy while she waited for Ben.
âWait! Wait!! I hope this isnât what I think it is?â Ben screĂ med suddenly, and got Amarachi clearly startled.
âWhat is it Ben? Youâre making me afraid. What are you looking at your screen as if your have just seen something terrifying?” Amarachi asked, getting up to join Ben on his table.
âAmara, it is Farida and Max! Theyâre here in this hospital, and I donât think their conditions look goodâ Ben said.
Amarachi rushed to Benâs sides, took a peek at the screen and covered her mouth in time, to prevent the screĂ m from escaping her throat.
âWhat could have happened to them? Jesus! Are they going to be okay?â Amarachi asked.
âI wouldnât know! And thereâs only one way to find out. Weâll go to the emergency unit and know whatâs going onâ Been said, getting up quickly.
He dialed Joeâs number as he moved, knowing that he needed to update both him and Nkem on want was going on.
âHello Sir, I just found Farida and Max. Theyâre both in the hospital here, but their conditions are really unsightlyâ Ben told him in a summary.
âOkay Ben, tell the man Iâll be interested in the deal, and Iâm sure my wife would like to take a look at the items too.
âBut I just arrived my house now. Iâll settle mama, then head out to take a look at the goods with my wifeâ Joe answered quickly, his facial expressions, remaining as controlled as he wouldnât have imagined he could keep it.
He got mama into her room and asked the house keeper to take care of mama, before he rushed out with Nkem, heading to the hospital again.
âNkem, I know you already know that weâre not truly going to see any goods.
âBen just found the kids, and they’re in the hospital. But you have to take a grip if yourself.
âBen said theyâre not in good shape, but I think you deserve to see them, and know if thereâs anything we can do for them.
âI do not need to remind you that you have to remember that you’re first a mother to be, before any other thing.
âDo not act recklessly because worrying so much wonât change anything.
âRemember that worrying is like a rock chair. It keeps moving, but goes nowhere. Please do not put my unborn child to any risk with your reactions because in the end, the reactions wonât be the reason they get better or otherwiseâ he told his wife, who only nodded and continued to blink rapidly to keep the tears back.
When they got to the hospital, Ben was waiting to take them to the emergency ward.
And true to what Ben had said, Farida and Ben were both lying on their respective beds, still unconscious and looking really bĂŁd.
Joe and Ben assessed the situation, and in no time, they could see that apart from the first aid to stop the blĂȘĂȘdings, nothing much had been done for them.
Ben called the shots, and the doctors were scurrying everywhere, and Nkem was sitting outside the ward, praying the help didn’t come too late for Max and Farida.
