DISASTER

Chapter 8

There's something I want to discuss with you, my husband. Angela told Nelson after one week of Dora's demise.
Dora's mom has been the one taking care of the twins; she always has tears in her eyes whenever she's bathing them.

What's it? Nelson asked, combing his hair.

I don't want Dora's children in this house anymore; their mother is gone, and her burial will commence in one month. Please take those things away from here. Dora's mother should take them to her house. I'm done talking. Angela stated

Nelson was shocked. He dropped the comb and faced Angela.

Can you repeat what you just said now? He asked, picking his belt.

I didn't say anything, but...

But what? Did I even marry you? Do I know your parents? Just stay away from me and those kids; if not, Angela, or whatever your name is, I'll disfigure you.

Angela eyed him, stood up, and left the bedroom.

The sight of those twins irritates Angela; she feels those children are obstacles to her, and she vowed to sacrifice their lives.

Neme waited for Sam to return from work; she has been waiting and standing for a long time.
She dialed his number, and he picked it up almost immediately.

Aren't we going to see my parents again? She asked, tapping her feet on the floor.

I'm driving. I'll soon be home. I hope everything is ready.

Please come home and stop asking rhetorical questions. She replied and ended the call.

Neme has decided to marry Sam after several pleadings from Sam and her mother, Mrs. Cynthia.
She had her plans anyway; she sat in the parlor patiently waiting for Sam to come home.

Sam came back and dropped his suitcase.

Let's go and visit Nelson first. We can go from there to see your parents. He told her, adjusting his tie.

Nelson's place? For what again? She asked, widening her brow.

Please, we need to go; it's getting late.

Sam called.

Yes, please, let's go haba.

Neme didn't reply; she wore her sandals and followed him.

Sam I called you here to ask you something very important. Nelson said, pressing his phone.

I'm all ears,he replied.

Dora's people asked me to pay her bride price before arranging for her burial. Is that right? He asked, lifting his head.

Of course.. Neme chipped

Why? Why do I have to do that when she's no longer living? Isn't that a waste of money? I'll still spend during her burial.

Yes, Nelson,you have to pay her bride price before the burial because she got pregnant for you. You even married her, so do the needful. Sam said

Nelson nodded, stared at Neme, and closed his eyes.

I heard you guys are getting married soon.

Yes, dear Nelson, and the bride price you paid will be returned to you soon. Neme replied, feeling hurt.

What if I refuse to collect the money? What if I need you back? He asked, smiling

Never Nelson; she's pregnant for me already. Sam responded, standing on his feet.

We are not fighting, please, but don't bother returning the bride price because I want my wife back.

Nelson, over my dead body, will I ever be with you again? You almost took my life. You must be joking. Neme told him to go outside.

Sam followed her immediately.

I don't know why you brought me here, Sam. Please let's leave.

A day before Dora's burial, Angela went into labor. She was lucky Nelson was around. He was arranging the parlor when Angela screamed his name, calling him all sorts of names.
Nelson didn't mind but rushed her to the hospital and left after receiving a phone call from his parents.
Not quite long after Angela put a baby girl to bed, she got angry the moment the doctor told her that her husband had left immediately. He brought her
She waited patiently for him. He came back in the evening with her friend Julia since he didn't know Angela's family. He dropped Julia and left immediately.

Wow, this baby looks like his biological father, Emma... Julia told Angela

You talk a lot. You want the whole world to know that this child doesn't belong to Nelson. Don't put me in trouble, Abeg. Angela begged, facing the wall.

Calm down, madam. Uche denied the pregnancy you carry and rubbed Nelson for body. You are a bad girl. Julia laughed 

Angela didn't respond; she was tired and, at the same time, thinking about what her friend Julia said.

Your co-wife will be buried tomorrow. Julia said

Let her go there and rest. By the time I leave this hospital and Nelson doesn't take those things he calls his children away, I'll put them in a big bag and dispose of them. Angela said bluntly:

Those kids are his; this one here doesn't belong to him. Don't throw his kids away; if not, I'll expose you myself. Julia told her she was dishing out food for her.

Don't dare me, Juliana; don't even dare me, she warned.

Madam, carry your food.

Angela collected the food and hissed before eating.

The next day, which was Dora's burial, everyone who knew her didn't fail to attend. Rumbles and screams from different angles were heard.
Dora, the epitome of beauty, was lowered down the grave. Her mother was heartbroken; her only child had been buried.
