MY NAME IS DERA
CHAPTER 17+
Kennedy had gone from one police station to another laying the same complaint but none seems to have a clue about the whereabout of Dera.
Giving up was not an option because something kept telling him that Dera was alive and waiting for him where ever she was. He was ready to spend his savings just to find where Dera had disappeared to.
Kennedy was at home thinking of the next step to take when Tracy walked in. She sat opposite him on the cushion.
Honey... I am sorry I never told you, I was a bad friend too to Dorathy. I encouraged her to cheat back at her husband for cheating on her.
Kennedy opened his eyes in awe.
Yes Tracy nodded her head and continued. That’s why she wanted to get back to me. But I’ve gone back and apologized to her. I know it won’t bring her husband back because the did is done. I want this family to get back stronger.
Tracy was still talking when Kennedy's phone started ringing... He was reluctant to pick up, none of the calls he's been receiving lately talked about Dera or the whereabout of Dera.
He picked up...
Hello.. Caller : Is this Dera’s father?
Kennedy immediately stood up from his seat.
Yes yes he answered anxiously.*.
What poison did you give her ? Doctor Eunice asked Kelvin with tears in her eyes.
I don’t know kelvin said shaking his head and pointing at the little bottle on the floor at the corner of the room. Doctor Eunice picked up the bottle and quickly carried Dera outside. Dermian , Peter and madam Sonia all followed Doctor Eunice leaving kelvin behind.
The police which Dermian had tipped off not minding the warnings of his wife came into the building as they were leaving. They arrested Kelvin and the guys who he was with.
The public transport was tight but no one wanted to be left behind. They all wanted to be with Dera. Dermian urged the driver to hurry up as he was ready to pay any amount needed.
Dera was still sweating after her clothes were removed inside the car. She was crying and shaking. Doctor Eunice and madam Sonia couldn't stand the pains Dera was going through. They couldn't hold back their tears as it flowed down their cheeks.
They arrived at the hospital and Doctor Eunice quickly took Dera into the emergency ward. She called for the help of other doctors. Kelvin had given Dera a deadly poison which kills in a hour. They have elapsed more than an hour and Dera was still fighting for her life.
Madam Sonia kept trying to go in but wasn't allowed. She was outside sobbing like a baby , her husband who consoled her couldn't control his tears either. They all prayed Dera is saved.
It took quite a while and doctor Eunice came out of the room wiping her tears.
Tell me she is okay doctor, Madam Sonia asked walking up to doctor Eunice immediately.
She is stable now, but needs a little time to heal ma. The poison almost damaged some organs but she will be okay if she takes the necessary drugs.
Thank God...Thank goodness madam Sonia said holding her hands together. She she went into the room with Dermain and Peter.
There was Dera lying down innocently and sleeping. Isn't my baby girl cute madam Sonia said looking and admiring Dera.
Peter was happy Dera was safe again. He only prays the couple will forgive his wife and not send her to prison for damaging Sonia's womb.
It was night already, no one has left the hospital ever since they came in with Dera.
Dad...Dad…. Dera called out softly..
I want to talk to my daddy Dera said as she opened her eyes. Dermain moved closer to her, I am here my child. I want to talk to me Daddy Kennedy Dera said and a tear dropped from the side of her eyes.
Dermian looked at Sonia and she nodded her head giving him a go ahead.
Dermian brought out his phone and Dera called out Kennedy's number. Dermian launched the call. It took a while then someone picked.Kennedy: Hello
Dermian: Is this Dera’s father?
Kennedy: Yes yes
Dermian: Dera wants to speak with you.
( Gives the phone to Dera)
Dera: Daddy ….
Kennedy: Yes Dera, where are you?
How are you doing?
Thank God…. Dera…. My Dera is alive..
Where are you Dera?? ( Voice filled with happiness)
( Dermian takes back the phone)
I’ll like to see you here soon. I’ll send you my home address so you can make it tomorrow.
The next day, Dera was free to go and she left with Dermian and Sonia.
Dermian and Sonia left Dera who was sleeping and decided to talk about those who had offended them. What do you think we should do to my brother who is in police custody and doctor Eunice Dermian asked his wife.
Honey, Doctor Eunice damaged my womb because she was threatened. Anyone will fall for that trap, but she saved our Dera. She told us the truth and still helped us save Dera's life. I think we should have mercy on her. Your brother Kelvin was misinformed, you could see his remorse. I also think you should have mercy on him, because sending him to prison means Doctor Eunice will loose her license as a medical practitioner and will join him behind bars. The more evidence we present against Kelvin, the more it points at doctor Eunice. Besides, you can't punish your nephew and niece because of their father's sin.
The maid walked in , sorry sir. Some people are outside, they said you invited them and they are here for Dera.
That must be Kennedy Dermain said, let them in.
Kennedy came in with his wife and his two children. They had taken the first bus just to make it earlier to the place they were going to.
Kennedy walked in admiring the affluence of the entire environment especially the royalty decorated parlor. After exchanging greetings, Dermian asked them to seat down.
The maid came again, saying a couple had also come to see them. He asked to let them in. It was Doctor Eunice and her husband.
Doctor Eunice came with the 10 million that Kelvin had offered her to kill Dera. She gave the money to Dermian. He looked at her with a smile and asked her to keep the money and was forgiven already. Doctor Eunice danced around with Joy thanking the couple. She never knew wealthy people could forgive.
Dermian narrated to Kennedy briefly all that had happened and the fact that Dera was their lost daughter. Dera walked in surprised to see everyone together. Kennedy ran and hugged her. Tracy came begging Dera for forgiveness on how she treated her. The parlor was filled with emotions as madam Sonia announced to Dera that she's their daughter.
Dermian told Kennedy he will give him one of his buildings close by so he can relocate with his family. So Dera won't miss them.
Dermian asked for Kelvin to be released. Even though he acted wrongly, he was still his little brother and won't like him to spend his years behind bars. That will only bring more distance and enmity between them. Kelvin came with his family and asked for forgiveness from his brother.
A year passed by and doctor Eunice got pregnant. Peter was filled with Joy, after many years of being barren. His wife was pregnant with a child, God really showed them Mercy.
Doctor Eunice gave birth to a baby girl and named her Dera.
Three years later and Madam sonia had come as usual to the hospital to visit and pay off the debts of the poor. She walked into Doctor Eunice's office with Dera.
Dera always loved to carry doctor Eunice's daughter. So she walked up to her and lifted her up. Then she asked her jokingly as usual.
What is my name?Your name is sister Dera..
And what is your name…
MY NAME IS DERA she said smiling sheepishly…
