Chapter 42

"And what makes you think he told me about his whereabouts, were you not at home with us yesterday?. Why are you asking me all these unnecessary questions, please let me be"- I replied with a harsh tone 

"This is so confusing right now, where could he be?. Or does he want to run away from his own family, because I think he might have planned all these moves with his friends. I know what he his capable off"- He said looking so confused and angry 

"You better give him a break darling, besides he is a grown man. He is above the age of 18 and that automatically makes him an adult, you can't keep monitoring his every move.

  If he doesn't come back today, he will surely come back tomorrow, so why are you so stressed out?"- I asked 

He sat down on the sofa while trying to figure out what next. I didn't even feel bothered about his current mood, because he was the whole mastermind of all these challenges we are currently facing.

  I told him it was a bad idea to send Andrew to Nigeria, but he insisted that his decision is final and he even threatened me to make sure that Andrew complies, so it's not my fault at all

"What do you suggest. Do you think we would look for him or report this issue to the police?"- He asked

I ignored his question and walked straight to my room, but he grabbed my waist and pulled me to his chest

"I am talking to you young lady and since when did you start walking out on your husband. What's wrong with you?"- He said 

I looked at him straight in the eye, and he could vividly see that I am very angry at this very moment but he wouldn't let me go 

"Nothing is wrong with me, let go off me this minute"- I yelled at him while trying to remove his hands from my waist but it was just too tight 

"You should know by now that I am a man who doesn't rest till he gets a satisfied answer to his question"- He replied with a serious face 

"Then you can go and get your answer in the toilet, it's not from me."- I replied rudely, still trying to free myself from his tight grip 

He was quite surprised by the kind of reply that I gave him and I am pretty sure he won't like that at all 

"Is there something wrong with your mental health, why are you acting like a mad lady or did you drink something that's rewinding your brain?"- He asked 

"Oh really, let's say you are the one who is rewinding my brain here. You are driving me crazy old man, and I can't take this anymore.

  Here you are, trying to accuse me that I know of Andrew's whereabouts when he clearly left our presence during the Chruch service. You were at home yesterday, did you see me have any conversation with him?"- I asked 

He remained quiet without saying anything as he removed his hands from my waist

"Now i see where Andrew got this rude character of his. You clearly don't know how to talk to a man"- He said while taking his leave 

"And you clearly don't know how to take care of your family. You just wake up and make decisions and expect everything to fall in place. 

  This family was fine before you brought this your new business plan to the whole picture and you expect me to be happy about it. Just get lost"- I replied with a rude tone 

"I don't care if you it hurts you or anyone. My decision is Final, he is leaving this country for good and if I don't see him by tomorrow afternoon.

  I will inform the police about it and make sure they fish him out from his hiding place. And I will start with the houses of all his friends, I will track them down"- He replied while matching to his room like an angry soldier who lost his mind 

I felt really bad about this whole issue and I don't even know where to start from at this point. I looked up at the ceiling while thinking of a way to fix the whole issue before it gets out of hand.

  Where could Andrew possibly be?. His phone is switched off and moreover he didn't leave with his car. At least I would have been able to track his movements through the car 

I laid down on the sofa and picked up my phone to dial my sister's number. She is the only one that can help me out that this moment

"How are you doing my dear, I trust that everything is going well over there"- She said immediately after picking the call 

"Nothing is fine over here. There is fire on the mountain and I am scared that this fire would burn us all if we don't find a quick solution to resolve it"- I replied looking so weak 

"What's happening my dear sister?. Is Andrew giving you any trouble this time?"- She asked 

"Yes my dear, infact his dad is equally giving me a hard time lately. We all went to Chruch service this morning and Andrew slipped out of our watch with the excuse that he wants to use the restroom.

  It has been five hours since he left our sight and we can't even reach him because all his phone lines are switched off"- I replied with a tone which indicates that I am completely broken at this very moment

"How did this happen so fast, did he leave with his car?"- She asked 

"Not at all, I don't even know where he is now. He left the Chruch premises like a ghost and if disappeared with his car, then it would be very easy for me to track his location and get what's going on"- I replied

"So you mean he just disappeared like that, have you called his number to find out if the phone is switched on?- She asked 

"I have tried that sis. I have tried everything in my power, but my husband is putting everything on me.

  He said I know about the whereabouts of Andrew and I clearly have no idea that he would even carry out such actions like this"- I replied 

"Just take it easy. Maybe he would be back tomorrow morning. Let's just say he went to see some of his friends or something like that"- She said 

"We have never restricted him from going out to see his friends or do whatever he likes. But we only get ourselves Involved when he tries to misbehave or disgrace himself in public.

  But what baffles me the most is the way he left the Chruch premises without even letting us know. I don't even know he actually left the premises or if he was kidnapped or something like that"- I Replied with a shaky voice 

"I understand what you are passing through right now, but I want to assure you that everything is going to be okay. I don't think he was kidnapped

  Let's just wait till tomorrow before taking any action. I would advise you to get some rest for now and just leave your husband for the main time. He is probably upset about the issue too"- She said 

"Then does that give him the opportunity to pour the whole issue on me as if I am the main culprit. He started this whole ugly situation when he suddenly brought the discussion about sending Andrew to work in the new company that he is currently building in Nigeria.

  At first I deemed it to be a very good idea but I asked him to discuss the issue first with Andrew, but he refused. He told me to tell about it and also Threatened me that I should make sure he complies, who does that"- I asked 

"Your husband is really funny, why would he say such a thing. Is your son a robot or a machine that obeys any command that comes it's way?"- She asked jokingly

"He is not funny, he is just being rude and uncaring. He doesn't even portray the quality of a good husband or father, now I see why Andrew finds it hard to cope with him around"- I replied

"Like I said before, just relax and remain calm. I definitely know that he would come back home tomorrow, maybe he went to see or discuss something with his friends and he doesn't want to inform you all"- She assured me 

I felt quite okay with the way she was just cooling down my temper. Seriously, she is an angel and that's why I always call her whenever I am down and lost 

"Alright sis, I will do as you have said. Thank you so much, love you for life"- I said 

"Love you too. Good night dear"- She replied while hanging up the phone 

I called out to my maid and I requested for some chilled wine while I watch my favorite television show. Let me entertain myself with some korean movies 

"Here are the chilled wine you requested for"- My maid said while properly them on the couch besides me 

Just then, my husband walked in looking so stressed out and weak, I could see it all in his eyes but I kept quiet as if nothing ever happened

"Here you are, enjoying yourself while our son is nowhere to be found. How are you even relaxed about this whole thing that is happening right now"- He asked with a sad voice which suggested that he was already helpless at this stage 

"If we should look at this issue from a different angle, you are the one to be blamed for all this calamities"- I replied 

"What do you mean that I am the one to be blamed. How is it my fault young woman"- He asked rudely

"Oh, so you really wanna know how it's your fault right. Have you forgotten that I told you to properly discuss this issue about your new business in Nigeria with Andrew and seek for his opinion first.

  But guess what, you said your decision is final and there is nothing that can change that, you even threatened me to make sure that he complies with your so called decision"- I yelled at him 

"Yes. And I would make sure I do everything in my power to make sure he doesn't go against it"- He replied without any feeling of remorse for his previous action 

"Then why are you tormenting me then, go and look for his and make him obey your commands. I have no business with this issue anymore 

  And if Andrew should eventually decide to run away from home, then it's up to him. I don't give a fuck about anything, as long as it doesn't affect me."- I replied 

"You should be ashamed of yourself, just take a look at what is coming out from your mouth. You even have the guts to say that you don't care if anything should happen to our son or if he decides to run away.

  What kind of woman are you, Instead of you to be looking out for ways to track his movements, you are busy watching korean movies and drinking wine like it's none of your business"- He replied

I didn't even make a move to reply him anymore, he can say whatever he likes because there is nothing that can ever make me feel worried about this issue anymore. It's high time I take my decision and stick with it, I can't keep killing myself because I have a son or because I am married 

  For God's sake, I am not the only married woman on earth
