Peter came back to the hospital in a sweat, one could already tell that he had been involved in a fight, that was so him, he had been arrested many times by the police for fighting and the papers were always having one thing or the other to say about him. No matter how much the papers insult him and call him names, Peter never changes.
His twin brother rushed towards him thinking the blood on his body was his.
"Hope you haven't killed somebody, his wife pulled him by the hand into the convenience and started to wash him there.
She ordered for a new set of clothes to be brought in for him, but she was so crossed at him.
"What do you think you are doing, going over there to fight?
"Don't school me, he was just lucky, I would have killed him"
"If you kill him, do you think you will go free?
Don't you know what the law says about killing?
Peter looked up at his wife who was sounding too bold scolding him.
What if you kill him and they arrest you, do you think father would be able to do anything?
"Now you need to shut that mouth of yours before I shut it for you"
Have the law caught up with him for using his profession as a room to employ lies? What did they do, they were just sitting there even treating him.
I was unlucky today, next time, I won't be so unlucky, I will kill him and face the law.
"Look, I understand what he did, he wronged the entire family, but you have to let him recover fully so that we can watch him face the law squarely.
Paul barged into the toilet, to find his brother almost naked,he handed the new clothes to his wife and watched as she dressed him, scolding him at the same time.
His brother would always try to bend her, but she was always too sharp, she doesn't really accept defeat, and if she must scold, she would scold as though she wants to spank that person.
"Don't you know you are family man, how can you go outside in a hospital, where there will be loads of people and fight?
Peter didn't want to tell at her to keep shut again because his brother was there and he just wanted to respect his wife, but to him, he was begining to talk too much.
She took a good look at his naked form and could not help but admire him, he has an identical resemblance to his brother, but the obvious difference, was in the scar.
Peter carries a scar on his left side that have already given him a permanent mark that he could never clear off, it was also a result of a fight.
Petranilla was wasting time cleaning her husband's chest, she was almost doing it in a slow motion that Peter was loosing his cool, Peter grabbed the new shirt and without saying a word, put it on, he also changed his trouser and walked out on his brother and wife.
"I am tired of this brother of yours" she said to him, throwing his bloody shirt into the trash.
"You know he is always like that, but I I'll talk to him, I also want to know what happened when he got to the hospital.
Petra could not tell if Paul was after hearing the story of how the fight went, or if he was actually going to caution him, but she knew better, they were twins and they were more alike in attitude, just that Paul was not a street fighter.
