CHAPTER 54

Am now 7 months gone, we just moved into our new house.

I and my husband are busy with our children décor.

For some days now my husband is trying to keep a happy face but I know something is eating him up, I know he doesn't want to talk about it.

Sometimes I will be talking to him and he would be lost in thought.

" Hey, my king" I called as he was placing the babies wardrobe properly.

" Yes my queen" he said.

I held his hand and made him sit on the couch in our babies nursery.

" You can talk to me, I am your wife" I said.

" I don't get you" he held my chin. Do you feel I am hiding something from you?" He asked. Faking a smile.

" Yes, even you smiling at me right now isn't that deep, I know you are bothered, I know something is eating you up, you can share with me, I see you go to your study, every time you return from work whenever I peep to check on you, you are always thinking, tell me what is it? I asked. My husband sighs before talking.

" My job is in a mess right now" he stood up. " I shouldn't be telling you this right now, just go and relax, I can sort it out" he stood up to leave and I hug h from behind.

" I want to hear it all" I said and he uses his palm to touch my palm on his shoulder.

" Okay, since you insist" he said.

" You know I told you before commencing work on this building that we are expecting a big commission from one of our reliable customer" he said.

"Yes I remember" I said.

"He and his guarantor disappeared, the property as collateral is in the hands of 2 other banks.

"What!" I exclaimed and release my self from hugging him and I sit back  while he stood there.

" Now the bank is a great debt, even the children of the founder are not managing well, all my salaries from this month goes to the company and there is already a rumour that the board of directors will be changing the C.E.O of the bank and many things will change, those that did not meet up with their  customers outstanding loans will be suspended.

"I have just little savings left, all the money had gone into the completion of this house." he said, he turns to look at me, I was already crying and he came to me and embrace me, this is why I never wanted to tell you because you won't be able to handle it" he said. " It will be fine" he said.

Two months later, I was putting my baby stuffs together since my EDD will be in 3days, although have been feeling back pain and little abdominal pain since morning and but it wasn't severe I was expecting my water to broke.

Then the pain hit me really well this time that I screamed before it relieved me again.
