Chapter 12. What I fear most.

If only parents knows the pain their children

go through when deprived of their choice

making in marriage they will cut them some

slack.

Phillip kept wondering the kind of war

Jennifer want's to give him, he decided to

break the news to his friend Ken to help him

decide next step to take.

Ken .......Hello bro

Phillip....Hello

Ken........What's popping bro?

Phillip... Nothing much guy

Ken........You sound worried bro, what's the

matter?

Phillip....Bro I'm in a big mess right now and

don't know what step to take.

Ken ........What mess?

Phillip....You remember Jennifer right?

Ken........ Off course yes, I introduced you

two.

What about her?

Phillip.....She claims to be pregnant for me.

Ken ........Preg what?

How bro?

Didn't you guys use protection?

Phillip.....I can't remember if we did use it

because I was really drunk the last

time we had sex, that was on her

birthday. After drinking with her,

I woke up the next morning just to

see the both of us naked on the

bed.

Ken......But you have never been this drunk

since I knew you. Or could it be that

she got you drunk just to have you?

Phillip....You think so?

Ken........Yes bro

That babe is a pure desperado, I

introduced you two so you can have

fun with her not marriage.

she's for fun not for keeps.

Phillip...She called and threatened that I

I must marry her or she give me

war. What do you suggest I do?

Ken........Take her to your own doctor to

confirm if she's pregnant or not.

After that then we will decide what

to do.

Phillip.....Thanks bro, I will do just that.

Phillip dressed up, called Jennifer on

phone to come to his place.

Jennifer herself was so happy thinking

Phillip us already dancing to her tone, dressed

so seductively to Phillip's place but met Phillip

all dressed up.

Jennifer......You are all dressed up?

What for?

Phillip......Good afternoon to you too

Jennifer..... Whatever!!!

Phillip........We would be seeing my doctor

today. Want to know if you are

really pregnant.

Jennifer....Suit yourself doubting Thomas.

They arrived at the hospital, did PT test and

was told to come back for the result but

Phillip refused to leave but rather wait behind

fir the result. After an hour the doctor called

him.

Doctor... Welcome once again Mr. Phillip,

please have a sit.

Phillip....Thanks sir

Doctor....Well, Ummmm, where's the lady you

came with?

Phillip.....I understand what you mean by this

question but please just talk to me

instead, she has gone home and as a

matter of fact I'm the one who needs

this result not her.

Doctor....Well the result actually confirmed

she's pregnant.

With your facial expression I don't

know if I should say congrats or not.

I pray everything goes well with you

sir. Do have a nice day.

Phillip walked out of the doctor's office

devastated and dumbfounded.

He went home, got himself high with

alcohol and dosed off on the floor.

As he was still sleeping Jennifer's call

came in. That was what woke him up that

morning.

Jennifer....... Doubting Thomas have you

confirmed your confirmation?

And how come I was able to

reach you today?

Oh you've decided to unblock

me?

Phillip........What offence did I commit by

knowing you?

Jennifer.......Is that the question you

suppose to be asking now?

The question should be, how do

I meet your family and elders

for your bride price.

Phillip........You better wake up because

that will never happen.

Jennifer.......I can see you need war and I

promise to give you handful of

it.

Phillip hangup the call and stood up from

where he slept, took a shower and headed to

work. On his way to his office, he heard a

conversation between Dianna and someone

on phone just as he was about passing her

office door. Out of jealousy he entered her

office just to be sure he hasn't lost his love to

another.

Dianna......Goo.....goo.....good morning sir.

Phillip...Good morning love, you look so

happy this morning.

Dianna...Ummmm, had no idea.

Phillip....Who was that on the phone?

Dianna.....That was Musa sir.

Phillip...Why is he still calling you love?

Dianna.....Ummmm, sir ummmm I don't know.

Phillip .....It's ok.

He left to his office worried and

contemplating on what to do.

Dianna on the other hand would be

celebrating her birthday tomorrow, Phillip's

mind is so occupied with stuffs that he didn't

remember that. He was on his way to lunch

that day when he saw Musa bringing lots of

beautiful flowers and box of gift to Dianna.

He became so jealous that he ordered the

security not to let him in. But still Musa

patiently waited outside, called Dianna and

told her all that happened.

Dianna hurriedly finish up with work and

went down the gate to meet with Musa. She

was entering Musa's car when Phillip drove in.

As Phillip was trying to reach out to Dianna

they drove off.

Phillip went into his office and kept trying

Dianna's line but couldn't reach her.

Dianna wasn't actually ok with hanging out

with Musa but "common" it's her birthday and

no one else would have made her day special

if she says no to Musa since Phillip on the

other hand didn't remember.

Musa took Dianna to one of the most

expensive eatery in town and lavished on her,

treated her like a queen and was about to

bring up the old topic when Dianna stopped

him.

Dianna...Please don't be like this.

This is my birthday and I want it to

be memorable.

Musa drove her home after their celebration

and pleaded to pass the night but Dianna

didn't buy the idea so he left.

Dianna went to work the next day, wrote

a resignation letter and handed it over to

Phillip's PA. Gathered up her things and left.

Phillip got to his office, called his PA for an

important meeting, after the meeting his PA

handed Dianna's resignation letter to him.

Phillip read it and went was really mad.
