Chapter 9.

9

"A wise person does what he can to help himself, to make his life more enjoyable. Being offended never really injures the offender; it only makes the one who was offended miserable. Often the offender is off somewhere enjoying himself, not even aware that he has offended someone. Sow mercy and you will reap mercy; sow judgment and you will reap judgment. Start sowing forgiveness. You may need some yourself some day"

The message on the Radio brought Joseph back to reality, he didn't want to listen any further, it felt as though they were talking to him.

'am i doing the right thing?

He asked himself, he refused to listen to the voice again, he switch off the radio in his office as he waited for Andrew's arrival. He didn't know what he wanted to tell him and he really didn't care, he was more happy to see him suffer the way he was suffering now.

Though he had made a name for himself just by being the family doctor to Andrew only, he wasn't interested in the name, he was more interested in destroying him. Did he think just saying sorry after so many years and offering him a job was going to make everything okay? He was not going to give up now that he could hurt him. He was going to take the chance to hurt him in the worse way ever.

Once again the knock on the door brought him back to reality, he was waiting for the man who caused him so much pain years ago, he may have tried to overcome his worse fears but he never forget how humiliated this man by his door just made him feel, his very presence irritated him.

"Oh Andrew come in, did something happen?

"How do you mean?

He asked as he walked in.

"Well I just left your place and you called almost immediately I was just worried about you"

"Well you know something always happens, my house is on fire, I am on the run, I cannot even concentrate on my business, I am really scared"

"Oh Mr Andrew, I told you already, you have nothing to worry about, being a HIV aids patient is not the end of the world, you can still live a normal life, just try and live your life, but you must try not to tell anyone about this, let this be our secret, I will continue give you drugs that will help you stay healthy, no one will notice the signs in you.

"I think I should tell my wife"

Joseph's face changed just by hearing what he had to say, he didn't want anything that would make them want to get help else where, Anna maybe just a girl of 21or thereabouts but she seemed determined to be with her husband and until she feels he doesn't need her anymore, his plans to hurt Andrew in the worst way would never come to realization.

"Don't even think about that, she will hate you even more, just leave her, keep her safe by leaving her and your child. If she doesn't want to leave the house, then leave the house for her, you are rich enough and it won't be a problem for you, just don't stay close to her so you are not tempted to touch her"

It's just that I am worried about her, what if I just tell her atleast she will know the reason I am leaving her.

It was becoming too difficult for Joseph to convince Andrew, he thought of how else to convince him, then he got the idea, he smiled at how evil his thoughts had become.

"What if I take it upon myself to tell her, I will know how to say it to her"

"That is so nice of you, thanks Joe, I don't know what I would have done without you, thanks once again, you are the best he said"

The details of when he would come to the house and everything was discussed. Andrew was happy, he trusted Joseph, he knew he would do a perfect Job, that day he went home feeling relaxed and happy, he saw her looking as immaculate as always, he thought that even if he isn't able to touch her and make sweet love to her like they use to before now, he was going to live happily with her till they discover how to give each other pleasure.

He awaited Joseph's plan patiently.
