season 2 Episode 2
“so what’s the dream all about my love?” i asked with great concern. She shook her head, nodded and folded her hands.
“never mind my dear. Just go back to sleep, i’m okay. It’s better not to talk about the nightmare i just had” she answered calmly. I stared at her curiously for some seconds before caressing her back with my right hand, while thinking of what next to say to her.
“don’t worry yourself. Just go back to sleep my dear. I’m alright” she begged once again.
“of course you know i can’t. It’s either we go back to sleep together or nothing” i said seriously. She breathed deeply, nodded and slowly fell back on the bed. I gently laid beside her and caressed her stomach.
“please my love for the sake of this baby don’t get yourself worked up. Please let’s not lose him” i begged.
Very early the next morning, i headed out to the catholic church where i did my last confession a couple of months ago. I badly needed to talk to the Reverend father once again through confession. I badly needed answers and i hopefully prayed that he would be more explanatory this time around.
Scene: Catholic church chapel
“so father all i just told you is all that happened after my last confession. I need answers. I’m so confused. My wife really is now a shadow of herself. What can i do to end this nightmare” i begged after pouring out my heart to the good priest.
“My son i remember your last confession and just like i told you then. I don’t see the child nor her mother in your future. But oh yes the child is yours and you have to accept every responsibility. Don’t deny the child anything, and i say once again don’t deny the child anything. Children are gift from God and you shouldn’t insult our Lord by rejecting his gift. You tried reshaping the wonderful destiny you had but luckily you realised your folly before it got very late. Treat the girl like your own sister and equally give your wife the respect and Love she deserves. You will get your job back but be careful with it” he advised strongly before giving me some bibles verses and prayer points.
I returned to my house minutes later more worried than the first time i seeked the priest’s help. Of course he was more direct this time around by saying that Comfort’s child is mine while still adding that the child and her mother isn’t in my future.
“What sort of future am i even to expect?”
To be continued.
