**SUPER STORY... Episode 73 Mike followed me into my room, sat on my bed and crossed his legs. “isn’t it time you start leaving, it’s past six already?” i asked coldly, while he shrugged and yawned. “i see you are all out to provoke me today, but why?” he asked with a mild tone, “because you have been provoking me lately and i’m equally not in the right frame of mind this moment. Dad had an accident and he is helplessly lying at st Mary’s hospital, so please let me be” i lamented and robbed my eyes. He gasped and held me, lines of shock and surprise appeared on his face as he stared down at me. He appeared genuinely touched. “why didn’t you call to inform me earlier?” he murmured as he held me. I broke free from him, “how do you expect me to call you, when it’s obvious you are still having a good time with your baby mama?” i accused. He swallowed hard. “i know you aren’t thinking properly right now, i better leave so that you can freshen up, sleep and get yourself back. Good night dearie” he said to me, planted a kiss on my forehead and left without another word. Early the next day, i headed back to the hospital. My heart flew, when i got to the ward and saw Mike seriously chatting with mum and dad. He never told me he was coming.However dad was in lively spirit, so was mum, leaving me with no choice than to relax. I walked up to them, greeting. “how was your night?” my parents asked. I shrugged and smiled, “i couldn’t sleep because i was worried” i replied as i gave Mike a strange glance, which made him shift uncomfortably. My phone rang soon after, breaking my attention as i reached for it. “hello Benjamin” i greeted as i answered the call. A slight frown appeared on Mike’s face as soon as he heard me call Benjamin’s name. “mum told me your dad was involved in an accident, i tried calling you last night but couldn’t get you. How is he?” he asked, “oh he’s getting better, though we are still at the hospital. St Mary’s along the school road” i replied, “my mum and i are coming over right away” he replied, surprising me, “oh no you guys shouldn’t bother” i murmured, “we are coming ooo” he replied and hung up while Mike silently stared at me. We said nothing to each other even though we had alot to say. 11:30am, Amara walked into the ward with Chike by her side, i was extremely surprised to see both of them, especially Chike because i knew he came for my sake. I was nervous as i watched them draw closer, while Mike and my mother exchanged glances. My heart pounded furiously as i equally remembered that Benjamin and his mum were also on their way to the hospital. “oh no!” i gasped.Amara sensing the tensed atmosphere in the room didn’t allow Chike to spend nothing but few minutes with us before politely dragging him away, but the few minutes he spent with us however didn’t stop him from giving his feelings away by the manner he stared at me, which Mike noticed. He however never made any silly remark, probably because of my parents presence and the environment we were in, but it never stopped me nor any curious person nearby from guessing what was going on in his mind. His behaviour and restlessness revealed everything. Mike really was extremely overwhelmed by Chike’s boldness or should i say alarmed over all he witnessed, but his surprise and fury further heightened when he saw Benjamin and his mum walk in few minutes after Chike and Amara had left. However he was very diplomatic as he exchanged pleasantries with them, of course he had no choice than to be, even though his coloured face almost gave his feelings away. As my parents chatted with Benjamin and his mum, i felt like shedding tears. I never imagined nor dreamt that my dad would ever be an object of pity, lying in such a poor helpless position. Yea i wore a smiling face, but i was dead inside. I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through in Benjamin’s mind, his mother’s mind and even in Mike’s mind. Oh how terrible and devastated i was as the whole event unfolded. Benjamin and his mum later left. “be strong dear, most times challenges come to test our faith and courage, how we withstand it, is what truly matters in the end, there isn’t any need crying over split milk. Your dad is a strong Man” Benjamin’s mum had advised me as they got ready to leave. The good old lady was nothing but kindness. She also gave me three thousand Naira before leaving. Mike’s cold gaze rested on me as soon as they left, “please can we talk outside?” he said to me, forcing out a dry smile with which he confused my parents with.i knew he was dying of jealousy. “Why do Men always feel threatened over a minor issue?” i wondered.
