π«π The Other Woman Episode Fifteen:
Jackie saw Joeβs eyes turn red with indignation and noticed the moment he moved, charging towards Nkem and knew what was about to go down.
She got up from the ground quickly and as soon as Nkem stood up, Jackie saw Joeβs hand move in a flash, sending a slΓ p to Nkem.
Nkem managed to dodge the first slap and when Joe sent the second one, Jackie was already positioned between them, blocking the slaps that followed from reaching Nkem.
By the time Joe realized that none of the slaps had touched Nkem, because of the fact that Jackie had been blocking the slaps with her handbag. He became so enraged that he could have expended his frustrΓ tion on Jackie, the one who prevented his hands from touching Nkem, but the doctor and nurses had already rushed to hold him down.
βYou canβt let them go Joe. These two ΓͺvΓ―l women who could work hand in hand to kΓ―ll mama cannot be left to go. You must get them arrested at once
βOh mama! Itβs so painful she had to diΓ« this way Joe. And as her in-law, Iβm going to ensure that her Killers donβt go free, whether you agree to do the needful or notβ Mandy lamented.
βItβs okay maβam, you can calm down. The old woman is lucky enough to have got help as promptly as she did.
βWho ever it is that tried to kΓ―ll mama, messed with the ventilator, ensuring that she wasnβt getting oxygen.
βShe would have died of asphyxiation if we hadnβt arrived the very minute we did, to get the ventilator helping her lungs with both oxygenation and ventilation again.
βThe oxygen supply was tampered with, so her lungs were out of oxygen supply, and her brain would have shut down after a few more minutes if that bell hadnβt called our attention.
βBut right now, sheβs stable, and would be okay pretty soon. She only passed out now because of the stress her experience placed on her brainβ the doctor explained.
Joeβs eyes flew open in delightful surprise as he heard what the doctor said and he rushed to the bed at once.
“Forget about the arrest Mandy, I’ll do the needful after my mother gets out of this place. She’ll tell me why Nkem wanted to kΓ―ll her,even when she had been advocating for her, in recent times.
“I’ll stay here with Farida until mama wake up, and I’ll be able to talk to her, and know exactly what happened” Joe said
βCalm down Sir, youβre going to have to calm down. For now, weβll need to place mama under strict surveillance and monitoring.
βShe may not be able to cope with another dilemma if something goes wrong again, so we have to be sure that whoever it was that made that bad move against this woman, wonβt be able to have access to her again.
βI donβt know what is going on in your family right now, but as your family doctor, Iβm going to advise that you keep your two wives and every other relative away from here for nowβ the doctor told Joe before he asked everyone but Joe to step out of the room.
Nkem walked out of the room glad to know that her quick intervention had saved Mamaβs life. She was in tears as she reminded Jackie that she was right about deciding to visit the hospital immediately.
βI told you Jackie! I told you to allow me visit the old woman. Just imagine what would have happened if I hadnβt arrived when I did?
βSo Mandy really wanted to kΓ―ll Mama? And to think that she had the audacity to ask Joe to arrest us, wishing the old woman deΓ₯d alreadyβ Nkem told her friend.
βYouβre so right about your premonitions that made you want so bΓ£dly to visit mama, but the fact that the woman could have been kΓ―lled today, brings me to wonder if the one who wanted to kΓ―ll her, had a hand in what happened to her, that brought her to the hospital in the first place.
βCoukd that rΓΆbbery have been staged? And if what Iβm thinking is what it is, then Mandy is up to no goodβ Jackie said.
βErm, Iβm trying to understand what youβre saying, the dots arenβt connecting rightly though, because if Mandy tried to kΓ―ll mama earlier, it could mean that she was trying to keep her out of her way or to keep her from saying something.
βSo what could she be trying to keep mama from saying? They have never been close, so I know mama wonβt be having any secrets sheβd love to keep hiddenβ Nkem noted.
βIβm thinking of two possibilities, mama found out about something she doesnβt want Joe to hear about, something like everything about how you two arranged to get Farida in his room that night, or because Mama is still trying to keep Martha with Joe, making her see the woman as a threΓ t to her hopes of taking over everythingβ Jackie said.
βBut what will she lose if Joe knows we arranged Farida for him? Wouldnβt it only get Joe more angry at me?β Nkem asked.
βIt would, but it would also make Joe lose trust for Farida and Mandyβ Jackie said.
βWhatever it is Jackie, Iβm so glad that we were able to save mama. And thank you Jackie, I may have had to save the old woman at a very terrible cost.
βIf you hadnβt been there, then Joe would have surely made me lose this pregnancy with his sΓ¨nseless outburstβ Nkem said.
βItβs okay my dear. I just had to do what I could because I knew the chances of running into that despΓͺrado was very high.
βAnd knowing how mΓ d she must be to know that youβre pregnant now, I expected that she could try to get physical with you.
βWhat I didnβt expect was that Joe could be so mΓ d heβd want to hit you. So I had to do all I could to ensure he didnβt hit you for real because I know for sure that getting you to forgive him and accept him back when the time comes, would be hard if he hit youβ Jackie said as they walked towards their car.
βDonβt make laugh Jackie, Joe and I are history already. Iβm never ever going to get back with him again. Iβm so done with himβ Nkem said with a frown
βKeep deceiving yourself Nkem, keep letting the lie Mandy wants you to believe grow in your heart, when you know you wonβt ever be thrown away from your home forever.
βYou and I know that Joe canβt be blamed for all he has done so far because you orchestrated everything that is going on.
βI do not want to keep blaming you for it, but thereβs no one who wouldnβt have seen the desperΓ₯tion in Mandy as she urged you to get her daughter in bed with your husband.
βI tried to warn you, but I guess the human nature that makes it hard for us to recognize when weβre just one strike away from breaking the heavy log weβve been cutting for so long, didnβt let you hold on a little longer.
βAnd so my dear friend, itβll be in your interest to remember that you fetched the ant infested wood into your house yourself, and you have absolutely no right to blame the precious wood in your house for getting eaten by the ants.
βJoe is a man, and we both know that he never had any other experience with any woman before he married you.
βHe had been faithful to you these past twenty years and since he neither knows how to play the double game, nor had any sΓ¨xual dating experience with a much younger girl before, the ecstasy of the new experience is bound to make him carried away!
βFarida is a very beautiful and young girl, I donβt know what you were thinking of when you imagined that things would ever be the same after he had a feel of what it means for a man to be with a girl with both youthful body and moves.
βPlease purge your heart of all the bitterness against him, and understand that things wouldn’t have been this messy, if you hadnβt done what you didβ Jackie told her friend as they sat in the car.
βWell, I never looked at it in that light. But even at that, did he have to get so vΓ―olΓ«nt with me? He could have hit me real bad if you hadn’t saved the day
βHe didnβt even remember it was me, the very same one he said he could dΓ―e for, when he was aiming to hit me as much as he wanted toβ Nkem complained.
βMy friend, you seem to have forgotten that in his eyes back there, you were trying to kΓ―ll his mother when he arrived!
βFrom his own point of view, his mother was already deΓ₯d, and Nkem, if you were in his shoes, youβd want to also stranglΓ¨ the person that supposedly killΓͺd your motherβ Jackie said.
βWhatever it is Jackie, Iβm glad that I was able to save mama, and Iβm super grateful that you saved me from losing the one thing that matters to me, while I was at it.
βShall we go home already? Iβm famishedβ Nkem said and Jackie smiled at her, started the car, and pulled out of the parking lot.
The friends drove towards Jackieβs house where Nkem had a really nice meal, before she got driven back to her house in the evening
