TEMI {MINE} Episode 20
Written by Anthony Temiloluwa Kenny (Saintkenz)

A dour silence took over immediately Dami heard the caller talk. A girl that saved her from death after the tempestous mob lyned him to comatoseness more than a year ago. And though he had tried his best to unravel her mystery then. On a good day, he shouldnt be bothered, but getting Eliza trust and love had been the sole reason and even intensified the pressure.

Even, He still hadn’t known she was the one who helped with all the lush meals he ate while he was duned in his sapid police cell.

But he was told she was dead. That was what Dr Banji told him the day he recuperated. So how could she be the one calling ?

“Hey Dami, are you there ?” The voice came again over the phone

“Of cause i am. So who are you. ? Dami asked.

“The girl you wana know, your good samarithan you owe your life” Racheal answered sounding more with superbia. She had expected Dami awkardness and uneasiness. She smiled as she sensed the thousand thoughts ramping through his mind, and she had had a proper plan afore to use all his action as decoy to get him meet her.

“If Dami could see her now. That is the end.”

“Oh! The good samarithan is dead and gone. Ok ? So whatever impersonator you think you are, just know its not working. I dont want to meet you, i dont want to see you anywhere.. Cause you are nothing but a pseud and counterfeit being. Goodday” Dami vented out his umbrage anger before punching on the end button. Nothing matter more than Eliza now. He thought.

“Who is that ?” Eliza muttered silently

“Baby, that shouldnt bother us.. Plss lets continue with we started. So baby, i dont understand the reason you wouldnt ….”

“I cant give you a child! Dami!” Eliza yelled out like a deranged cur spurting out overwhelming flows of tears like tampered tap.

“What ? Is that to be a kind of joke, ? Or your own April fool but the last time i check we are already in July” Dami scoffed out with derision. He couldnt decipher what Eliza just said even though he could make out from her broody state and pensiveness.

“see baby, its not a joke. If you get married to me now, we can have a child of our own. I lost my womb, i cant give birth” Eliza explicated still wallowing in her tears.

Dami didnt say dime. As much the impulse to talk hoisted him, something seemed to have stymied his voice box, his larynx. His pinhead furrowed look gave Eliza edge to squealed more.

She told him everything, starting from the first he got back from work to meet his absence, and later found out that her mum was responsible for it, after threatning to maul him to death. She explained she didnt have a choice since she thought he was going to die, and he was the only reason she lives. So she had to stap herself. Expecting to continue their love in heaven, where nobody would interfare or any mother interpose. But apalled to be rescued from her purpose journey, and was even more outraged when he was told she had damaged her womb in the process. She would not mother a child again.

“So you are the one ?” Dami maundered out with eyes gone crimson. He didnt seem to wail much but creek of tears were streaming out more copiousl as he quivered and vibrated.

“I was released from that dungeon because of you Where i thought i would end my life. Mother received me me back into your life because of you. I was a giving a new life, because of you, now outrightly by you” Dami said exuding his own breath.

Then Dami immedately exit the sitting room they were and hopped the stairs down to his room leaving Eliza in her murky state still sopping with bizarre. She knew Dami wont take it lightly, but all the same he deserves to know. She couldnt keep it forever.

How she wished non of these was happening. She wished she could rewind the time and go back to the time she was unflawed. Now, how would she be with the love of her life with all these hamper and fetter ? “Oh God! Why all these ?” Eliza wailed. “I am sorry Dami. I am so so so sorry. I love you soo much, but i cant give you a single child”

“Eliza look at me” She heard a voice behind. She turned to see Dami smiling. She noticed the grimmace was up to stamping down his gloominess, sadness, dissapointment and fears.

Dami plodded forward to meet Eliza’s forlorn figure. By the time he got to the spot where Eliza was. He doused his right hand into his pocket and brought out what looked like erst tatty necklace.
He deftly fixed the erst necklace on Eliza neck still maintaining his literal smile.

“i’m sorry its old and ratty” he muttered.

Eliza looked in bewilderment as Dami went down on his knees again revealing the same crested diamond ring. While he was still in his throe of lethargy and tears.

“Elizabeth Badejo. The fact that i would love to carry my own children and have then by you still is not the reason why i love you. Seriously i dont know why i love you. All i know is that i love you with all your flaws.
Right from the first day i saw you, my heart want you to be mine, and now that you are mine i cant let you go. Eliza, with or without children you are mine, in pain and sorrow, you will be mine, in laughter you are mine, when walking through the valley of pain, anguish you are still mine, when everybody hates and despises you yo will Still be mine, when the world turn it ugly self on you, you wil be mine.. Only if you will accept me now. Eliza Badejo plsss marry me..!

Eliza’s heart melted, evenly as it was goaded with the joy and delight of the time. Her heavy secret had been offloaded, tranquility and repose had been replaced.
In the spur of moment, She looked at Dami and knoded in complecency. she hadnt made the wrong choice. So Dami still love her after all.

“Yes. I will marry you” she fushed amidst smiles spruce with happiness. While she plunked out her annualry for Dami to fix the ring.

“Baby, plss keep that necklace. Though its ratty and appears old, but you see it is as precious to me as it was for my mum. My mum gave it to me at her last hours, she removed it from her neck, and told me to give it to the woman i will love to spend the end of my life with. Now i dont want you to remove it, let it be a catchet of my love to you. I will never leave you. As for children.. We will adopt them when we are ready. Okay ? Dami explained.

“okay dear” she muttured. I dont know but i think i am scared. My body its not feeling to well, i have this eerie feeling something bad is about to happen now ..i have a feeling you go back on your promise someday… I mean it seems a day is coming you will deny you dont know me .. Dami are you sure of your promise ., are you” Eliza threw out with suspicious look.

“Trust me .. I will never ….”

“Ring ring ring ring” Dami phone bleeped out halting his mouth. He looked at his screen and found a familiar number calling.

______________________

Racheal now felt relaxed. In 30 mins time Dami is coming, and in 30mins time Dami would be hers forever. She had succeded in wheedling him to come. She trusts her decoy.

She gave out an evil grinn as she caresssed the ring on her finger. The magic ring that she needed to perfect her mission. As instructed by her uncle, Dr Banji, all she had to do was to shake hand with him, and immediately just like a vertigo, he would instantly develop a nonresistance but still illusory feeling towards her. He wouldnt be able to repose or rest until he has her.

She blamed Eliza for her breakup with Tunde, she had asked the reason why Tunde staunched there relationship but it seemed she didnt get an edge, as Tunde always told her he just needed a break.

Eliza might not have dated Tunde, she might not have accepted him, but she was sure Tunde loath for her, and that was what actually led to him breaking up with her. So forthrightly or indirectly she was still responsible for everything, and this the right time for her to have her revenge.

Just a handsake with Dami, then he would be enthralled in her love spell for life. He rubbed the ring once again, and knodded at is potency. “Just dont F**K me up.” She muttered. By the time she is done,, may

“So nice meeting you Damilola” she said as she stretched out her right hand for her purposed handshake.

“well, the pleasure is ..”

“Rinnng riingg rinng” a phone bleeped out to stanch the moment

“Hello dear, hope their is no problem” Dami talked with tautness. Eliza seemed to be worrying too much of what he could not emparthise.

“Baby. I am afraid. Something isnt going right out there”

“Dearie. You just calm down. Nothing bad is going to happen, to me, to you, to us. Okay ? You just need to wane all this your worries dear. Plss” Dami cooed.

Eliza’s breath sieved out of the phone. She was sure something bad was about to happen but was just not able comprehend what was coming, hence she uttered a tacit prayer. “Good Lord, nothing bad must happen to my Dami. I can’t afford to loose him now”

“So have you seen ? Racheal” she asked

“Yea. Just met her not quite long ago”

“Okay baby. Please be careful with her. I heard what the last words Tunde said to you. He said you shouldn’t trust Dr. Banji and Racheal. Do you remember that ?

“Sure yes. And thanks about that” Tunde replied. “Will be at home in a jiffy, kindly prepare my favourite..im on hell famished right now”

“Aitt baby. Love you”

“Love you more dear” Dami replied before hanging up.

“that must be your girlfriend” Racheal quiped

“Oh No! Not my girlfriend anymore. She now my fiancee. We just got engaged not more than one hour ago” Dami japed out with sort of haughty tone and feeling of complecancy.

“Oh i see” Racheal answerd beaming a frigid face. Dami’s love story wasnt the pleasant thing she wanted to hear now. Leastways, its about secs before she obtrude the whole story.

“So, should we start from where stopped” she asked with a nervy front but didnt bother to wait for Dami’s reply.

She just needed to do handshake now or else.

“Nice seeing you again” she smiled and stretched out the baited hand to complete her malefic intention.

“the pleasure is ..” Dami wanted to say and long to receive Racheal’s when

“Sorry ma’am your order is already” a passably rangy male waiter’s voice halted the moment for the second time again. The waiter dropped a bottle of red wine and two wineglasses on the bedighted table and left, Leaving Racheal more than discomfited and foiled. Though she still tried to maintain her elated face, leastwise Dami must not suspect a dime.

“I am sure you know i am not taking a thing here. I wouldnt want to miss my baby’s delicacy when i get home ” Dami quickly said prying the redwine and the two wineglasses laying still on the table.

“Oh no, not now. Not when this your first time of knowing me. And think you should know the bills are on me” Racheal squeaked.

“No i wont. I dont take stuff outside, not even when my Baby is straining herself now to get somthing prepared for me” Dami said with a candid face.

“Okk” Racheal curtailed him. If Dami is this lovesome, then she is not making a mistake of diddling him to herself at any expense. She sure needs a guy like him.

“So what are we here for ? I dont wana be late home cause of my baby” Dami explicated.

“Well, you are here to know your good samarithan, say thank you and probably get the burdesome mind you carried for a year exonorated.” Racheal explained while also trying to be risible.

“ohh. Is that what you think ? Because i think the only thing i came to do here is say a thank you to some one who only saved my life back them from death, and later vanished into the thin air to …”

“Not only saved your life Dami. I fed you while you where in that police’s dungeon. You got to thank me for that too” Racheal yelped out.

“So you did ? You were the one who fed me in that place ?”

“yes”

“But why do you keep appearing to get my Buttocks saved and the end you dissappeared like a ghost?”

“its not what you think. I tried not to remain spectral but it seemed nature wanted it that way.

Then, while i was bringing you food, i tried my best to see you but they would not allow me even at the expense of tipping them off. But it happened that on the day you were released, i had come to visit and bring food for you that day but was told you have been bailed out. It pained me to the bone. That i gave up on seeing you.

But fortunately, i got a transfer to Abeokuta here and was on my way to rolocate here when i saw you lying in your own pool of blood. I tried to saved and left you in care of my uncle. Thinking i will return some three days after to see you. But then, when i resumed my journey back here , i had a ghastly accident that almost claimed my life. In which of cause people thought i was dead, including you. But i was resuscitated after some months., and then uncle told me you have been discharged. So, i thought i didnt have any reason to return back there since it wouldnt be easy locating you.
But was happy to realise the Dami i once know as a driver now turned to be a mogul in Abeokuta here, hence the reason i called you here to day” Racheal squealed out.

Dami heaved a heavy sigh thinkin, “she had done all these for him, then at what reason” his thudding heart quizzed but could find an answer alternating Racheal.

“well, i thank you for everything you did. All your kind gestures.” Dami muttered with his palms glued together.

“But still,” he continued. “there is something that i still dont quiet understand about the whole senery. The feeding at the police, why did you do that.. We dont know each other before. So why did you choOse to bring me food ?”

“Racheal suspired. She was sure getting impatient now, really getting short tempered. She remembered she hadnt executed her plan, and that had been the core reason she wheedled him there, and not to answer jolly questions like an interviewee.

“If there wasn’t an answer to that, i guess i should take my leave. All the same thanks for everything you’v done in the past” Dami spewed out, trying to stand up.

Then all of a sudden, like a flash and in millisecond, Racheal deftly made to restrain him from leaving.

“Noo no, no, no, wait lemme answer the question” she said while grasping Dami’s wrist to confine him back to his sit.

Immediately her hand touched his wrist, he squirmed like someone in severe cramp of vertigo. Something he couldn’t decipher enshrouded him. His vision became slurred and vague. Delusion occluded him. He then squeezed out his hand from Racheal’s grip and tried to wipe out the unseen fog he though had been obstructing his view.

“What is it, hope you are okay ?” Racheal asked but got nothing as an answer as Dami kept rubbing his face till he was satisfied he was out of his delirium and wasn’t hallucinating anymore. He blinked to ascertain everything was now okay

“Sorii was is it you call your name” He asked Racheal who happend to have plastered a gleeful look. Seemed everything had worked out well. She thought.

“Racheal of course.” She answered with a charlatan facial expression. If the planned hard worked out, then he isnt returning home tonight. He will spend the night with him.

“No it shouldn’t be. You dont look like a Racheal. You look like an angel” Dami voiced out.
