Chapter 116 Sub 12: ...How to go about it!

...How do i go about it?!

...How do i go about it?!

I coaxed my friends to leave as well as Yeesha and Clinton but my parents remained for a while. I headed to the doctor's office, he received me with a very good courtesy.

I sat right after we shook hand. He cleared his throat then adjusted his reading glass that rested on the bridge of his nose.

  "Mr Jordan!" Doctor Phil began "First, accept my condolences, life it itself can be inevitable." 

  "Of course! Thanks alot, how's my wife doing?" I asked Hitting on the nail instead.

  "Ah! Your wife is better than i had imagined. This instant, she's in a coma...sorry to say!" He blurted forcefully then i chirped

  "What coma? Look doc, this is overwhelming. Can you tell me what went wrong, there's no way she could be under a coma...oh my god!!!" I became restless. I buried my face into my palms.

  "Mr Jordan? Please get yourself together. Please calm down. This coma may last a day, days, a week..." He added

  "Does that sound normal to you? This is life and death, doc?" I added 

  "Yes Mr Jordan, there's a better chance at this, i can i assure you! She's under a closer supervision. All you have to do is stay put, your wife would be fine and about a child, you both could always try; it may not be easy but you'd be fortunate. No doubts!" He assured

  "A'ight!" I sniffed the air and exhaled swiftly "I don't care how long it'll take, i will wait." I added calmly "I hope it's soon!"

  "Exactly! Once again, be strong my friend!" He encouraged with a tight smile, i nodded lightly. I stood up to leave then we shook again.

  "Just let me know about the bills..." I reminded

  "Oh come on, Mr Jordan! Anytime! Besides, your parents had gotten all of that cleared off."

  "Oh! That's great! Thanks again, doctor!"

I walked out instantly. My parents sat abreast each other holding hands, i loved what i sighted. I stood before them with a faint smile.

  "Mama! Dada! Y'all wouldn't stop teaching me how to love someone huh?!" I teased while they smiled at each other, father placed a soft kiss on her lips. "A'ight parents, i must remind you that im no longer intimidated at your romantic displays, im learning quite a few!" I added. They snuggled me to sit between them. Mother intertwined her fingers with mine and began.

  "Baby!! This is not easy for you which i know but you've got to be strong. I hate to see you suffer, i hate to see you cry, it reminds me of the past. Jamal would always say, losing children may hurt terribly but the love that exists and submerge between us would always make room for another. I know you love your wife more than we can imagine but you should always expect the worse from it!" She added, she rubbed my chin gently then kissed my cheek.

  "Danni's right! She's mentioned everything, you are a man from the Khaleefa's blood, man, cheer up! But you still got to explain why you hit that lady, Kareem!" Father reminded regardless "We were told!"

  "C'mon Jamal, Kareem needs space! We'll have to deal with that much later." Mother defended

  "I'll let you have the moment!" Father teased

They both stood up to leave then i joined in as well.

  "We should..." Mother began

  "...Its ok, Mama! I'll be here for the night, that's the least i can do." I stated boldly

  "That's my son. I'll see you soon, take good care of yourself and your wife!" Mother hugged me tightly for the last time.

  "We love you son, stay put!" Father added with a hug. I nodded positively. 

  "Sure! I love y'all too, don't get too cozy to make babies too!" I teased. Father grld mother by waist which made say something silly.

  "Someone's jealous!" Father said out loud as they walked away smiling and chattering, he was teasing her for sure.

I entered the ward with my eyes fixated on Gia's motionless body. I sat beside her, i held her left hand tightly placing kisses all around. 

  "Gia? Can you say something for once, please?! I'm so sorry for everything i caused you, i didn't mean it! I just wanna hold you close to my heart, i want you to feel my heart throbbing, i want to kiss your tender lips and tell you to your face how crazy you drive Jordan Kareem Khaleefa. I need you to see me long for you, Gia! Say something so that i  could forgive myself!" I said in soliloquy.

My eyes welled and then tears rolled down without a stop, seeing her in this state made my heart ache.

I rested my head beside Gia and then i slept off.

04:19am,

I opened my eyes abruptly. I wiped my eyes gently and sleepily, i turned to Gia who was motionless. Tiana walked in, she was skeptical but i wondered how confident she grew so fast after a deafening slap that i rendered on her. I was too sore to yell at her   

  "You don't ever listen, do you?" I cautioned. She halted beside the bed, clenching her fingers nervously. I've never seen her in that state before but it didn't change my mind.

  "Jordan, I've got to talk to you 'coz its important."

  "To hell with you, i actually don't care if you fall to the ground, lifeless 'coz that's a win win for me!" I blurted out negligently. I stood up from the chair, my body ached. I summoned the doctor immediately, good thing Phil was still around.

He walked in with a nurse beside him.

  "Mr Jordan, are you good?!" He asked 

  "Can't complain! I'm about to leave and I'd be back hours later." I stated taking my cell phone with me.

  "Alright, take your time; we'd be here to always do what we do best." Phil assured confidently

  "And one more thing, no one should be allowed to see her..." I instructed turning to Tiana's direction "...Not even friends like Tiana Dawson!" I added Sarcastically but truthfully.

  "That's certain! I'll see you soon!" Phil said then spoke to the nurse as he walked out.

I followed from behind diverting go the exit elevator.

I remembered that i left my car at my parents' house, I'd be needing a cab; i said to myself.

Calling my chauffeur would take alot of time, i took a cab instead.

Minutes on,

I entered the mansion as Jane and other workers approached in concern as we exchanged pleasantries  then dismissed them but stopped Jane.

  "Sir Jordan, is the madam ok?" She asked before i uttered a word

  "Follow me!" I motioned with my head in addition.

She was nervousness which tickled me but whatever she was thinking would never come to pass, not even a second if it. 

We entered my bedroom then i instructed her to sit on the couch. I poured myself some water then sat on the bed instead.

  "Did my wife tell you where she was headed?" I asked calmly

  "No...No! She only said that she'd be out for some minutes and would be back soon! She instructed me not rs to tell anyone. The next thing that happened was someone who called the residence, he told me about Gia and i insisted he called the ambulance...nothing else happened!" She narrated carefully in fright

  "Hmm! Are you sure that nothing else happened here in the house?" I asked for more details

  "No! Nothing happened! Bu.." She stopped, she seemed scared already

  "Do you wanna lose your job?" I asked as She nodded negatively "then tell me everything, you don't have to mention names, I'd definitely find out so...go on!" I coaxed

  "On your way to the car, i almost slipped. I realized that some sort of oil was spilled on the tiles leading downstairs, i cleaned the whole of it. She...She was staring at me while i cleaned and when our eyes met she scurried out instantly." She explained again and this piece of information made sense, i didn't have to be told that Tiana had this all planned but she pretended to not know anything with they way she acted earlier. You'd think that i was the devil and she was the saint.

  "She?" I asked tilting my face towards hers from a distance "Great! You should go ahead, you shouldn't tell anyone as well. Tell me more if you remember anything eventually!" I added in content.

  "Yes sir! Am i getting fired, im totally scared!"

  "Its Jordan Khaleefa you're speaking to, if i get you fired then you are but if i don't mention then you stand a better chance at your job! You may leave now!" I instructed sternly

  "Thanks alot sir, I'd be close just in case!" She reminded

  "Of course!"

She walked out instantly then i sunk into the bed, and that was it for the moment. I zoomed off.

Five days on,

09:15am,

  "Morning sir! Breakfast is served, please come eat!"

I heard Jane speak behind the door accompanied with soft knocks.

  "Ok!" I replied icily forcing my eyes to open for a bigger picture. I hopped down from the bed yawning and stretching, i activated the thread mill running some miles then lifted some dumb bells, fathers' impact on healthy living had inculcated some routines i could never do without. I headed for shower, minutes later i stormed out wiping off the droplets on me, i figured Tiana standing before me in a net like mini sleeveless gown. As always, her shoulder length wavy dark hair rested below. I froze.

I was only had a boxer to cover up my genitals, i rolled my eyes instantly. She's been trying to capture my attention for days now and for every attempt she'd go extra miles but i would not fall for any.

  "What are you doing here?" I asked in distaste

  "What am i doing here?" She asked again then scoffed "I'm  here to care got your, Jordan! You know that you are all that matters to me regardless.".             

  "Hmm! Nice try with words, you should work on them too!" I reached for my lotion which was in the drawer. She followed in discontent.

  "Jordan, we..Er..we need to talk..like right now! Its been bugging me terribly. please?" She blurted innocently

  "I don't know you to be so polite let alone ask more than once!" I smirked walking to the closet. I took out a grey shirt and then a black short. I brushed my hair then turned to leave as she chirped in hastily.

  "Its our child, he wants to meet with his father and that's you!" She blurted sternly

  "Oh ok! That's cool too but that's after we've ran a DNA test!" I walked out of the room negligently. She ran after me then held my right arm abruptly. I threw her a slap on her cheek, i couldn't control my temperance. "Don't ever touch me!"

You must must be wondering why i haven't handed Tiana to the cops, that's because there's been no evidence against her attempt to hurt Gianna, the police men stated. Sending her out of my house would only create a room for her to ruin my reputation, i wanted to gather my facts and then tell my friends and family about my baby mama and mysterious son.

  "Jordan you hit me again?" She asked almost tearing

  "Im only surprised that you didn't fall to the ground, you must have mastered some ethics on endurance!" I blurted out sternly then headed to the dining room.

Jane smiled a bit then asked

  "Did you sleep well, sir?"

  "Not until my wife returns home if not, i wouldn't be fine!" I turned away with a tight smile.

  "She'll return soon, not to worry!" She assured and i nodded in agreement. She poured some coffee into the cup.

  "Sir? Your Mother called the residence earlier, she tried to reach you but i guess you weren't close!"

  "I was asleep! I would reach out soon!" I turned then took a sip from the coffee

  "And another person called, he insisted to be anonymous but then would like to book an appointment with you in two weeks. He seemed strictly professional yet extends his concerns over madam Gia. I really wonder why he had to reach you through the residence not at the company?!" She pointed out intelligently. I concurred.

  "Sit!" I instructed politely and sge obeyed with thinking twice.
