"There is a shadow, reflecting in my eyes when my eyes glittered on it, it looks so dark…, I could've died, if I didn't set my eyes, off your evils.
Don't ever ask me of your baby again, because, your excitement with me is full of evils. You can't just have interest in your baby and betray me as a mother. It's time for you to feel the pains more than me. Then you will know they is difference between pains and sorrow."
The clamoring of war is always in the hearts of a lion. When the mind is set to haunt it, enemies, it doesn't look back. it must glittered it eyes on it until it get it done.
James Parker was sitting down on the bed as if he is innocent; watching the drama, going on in the room. When Jessica set her eyes on him, she incited him the more. "A man with a double heart; you are there, watching this harlot; talking to me as if I am her mate. I know you are the one, who sent her to embarrass me.
James, let me asked you one question--"
"Oh, a wife with one heart – go on with your nonsense questions--"
"Good of you, Mr. Double Hearts." Jessica crooned, "Did you take me as your wife or your girlfriend? Just let me know what is going on here.
. . . But I can't wait for your stupid feedback. Let me tell you, one more time. You should tell me now. Whether, I'm your wife or your girlfriend."
James bang his legs on the ground. "Your question like the spirit of merry making. Don't you know Katrin is my wife? Are you waiting for me to tell you before you recognize her as my second wife? I don't expect such stupid questions from you," he
Whizzed and walked away.
"I know I'm so stupid for a long, long time before now. I also realize that I was a stupid lady before you fall in love with me – not just today but then and then in many miles. If you said, I'm stupid, it means the flames of love were intimidated you with stupidity before you made such an attempt of falling in love with me." She fold her hands on her chest, "Why don't you call me by my nickname: ugly death witch? That could have been the proper name for you to call me as your wife.
Does it sound clear to you? She turned her head towards Katrin. "You mean Katrin Oliver is your second wife? She huffed and walked towards him. "I don't think two female lions that are hunting at each other can stay in one roof. You better tells me now, who will stay and who will leave your home. Else, I will do something, you never expect in your life.
. . . Nonsense–" she said and walk down to the doorpost and clip her hand on it.
"Jessica, do anything you want to do. I have no time for you," James shrugged.
"There is no problem. Let us wait and see what would happen in the next few days," said Jessica.
Katrin stood up from the bed and double her mouth with laugh:
"Ha, ha, ha, I have kept quite on you, ever since, because of your senseless life over our relationship.
So, you have the gods to call me harlot.
Before you became a married woman – as you call yourself. What was your major occupation then? You mean harlot has become your new name? That is your own cup of coffee. . . . You are the harlot, not me; because you came to J- J- Fashion as an apprentice, not as a wife. Now, you have claimed to be a wife, because of your longer throat. . . . You ugly witch, you better look for a black goat, when it is not yet dark; because, James is my fiancé and my lover, and not yours. It is better you park your loads, down to your village and continue with your witchcraft," she bossed.
"Katrin, I don't blame you, it is James who invited you to come and insult me, anyhow," Jessica replied.
For a short while, Jessica jerked her head on James,
"James, there is no sign of love in you towards me. You are pretending you love me, but there is no love, reflecting in you. That is why my ugly face is exposing
me to danger. I have detected your plan ever since, that your love to me is no more existing. That is why you refused to render you loves to me. And you also rejected to love me in the daylight, except by night; because you hate me the more." She quavered, "Well, today, I have learned important thing from you, which I will never forget in my life. You only called me, J- J- when people are not around. You only call me, J- J- when it is night – that is when the appreciation of loves comes into play.
When the sun is shining, you turned back on me, and called me, an ugly witch.
Let me tell you, you can't just frustrate me and go free.
Mr. Double Hearts, you should regard me as a wife, but not to betray me as an enemy. Now, you have hated me, more than your worst enemy; because of your double hearts that gleed in you.
As long as I'm concerned, there shall be no peace in this house.
James, I hate you---" She jerked her head and face Katrin. "You stupid harlot, husband snatcher – you came to destroy my relationship without reasons. I will never forgive you in my life." A mighty rain, reflect on her eyes as a raining day in sun's hearts.
"Point of correction; don't ever call me, stupid harlot – because I'm more intelligent than you. Because your waywardness is wordless in the hearts of my fiancé. You have to leave this house for me in other for my fiancé to fills my heart with love.
Nonsense," Katrin replied.
James walked in and whispered on her. "Jessica, I heard your conversation with Katrin. Are you waiting for me to introduce her to you as my second wife? Let me tell you, I was with Katrin in a serious relationship before I knew you as my fiancée. Don't think you are the first woman I knew."
"Then why did you come to my end, when you were already with her as a propose wife?" Jessica asked.
James walked closed to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Well, I can't tell lies; there was same certain character, you possessed, earlier before now. And your family is interrelated with my own family. In the other hands, I didn't want to disclose the relationship; I had with Katrin before I fall in love with you." Katrin Oliver was laughing on them. "As from today, you have to recognize Katrin as my second wife. There is no need of hiding anything from you. . . . Okay!" he boasted.
Jessica clips her hands on his neck. "Come again . . .! Did I hear you say, second wife?"
"Yes. I can't deny her, because of you. She is my fiancée and the most beautiful Queen, I always think of," he gleed.
Jessica glittered on him. "James, I told you earlier before now, you are a pretender, right?
You are a mad man in my heart because of love. Why don't you tell me earlier, you have a serious relationship with Katrin ever since? After you might have impregnated me; and I have delivered a handsome baby boy to you and you think – It is time for you to frustrate me and take Katrin as a wife.
Remember, you told me, you loves me; is the love gone out of you that you no longer cares about the love you meant to love? Are your eyes darkening that you can't set your eyes on me? Is your hearts, flames with fire that you can't groom my love, which we swear to love? I think you are worst more than the enemies of war. If you think you can frustrate me, I will also frustrate you as well.
. . . I swear."
After a while, she left the room, shrieking with tears. There were all sitting down on the bed, laughing at her.
When she approached the living room, she sat down on a chair. An evil came into her mind, immediately and her mind became a heart of devils.
At about 4 a.m., when the nature hits the clocks, she stood up from the living room, where she slept. As she was about calling a taxi driver on her phone, she wrapped the baby with a rapper and walked down to the front door. She looked her left and right, she couldn't see anyone, confronting her. She took some steps, silently and moved straight to a deep pit in the backyard. And she dropped the baby, inside and left without the knowledge of anyone.
When she approached the front door, the taxi was already there, waiting to pick her with her loads.
Immediately she finished parking her loads in the car, James came out to see the vehicle that drove inside the yard. Not knowing, the taxi was about to leave. He looked inside the car and he saw Jessica without seeing the baby: "J- J-, where is my baby?" James asked.
And Jessica replied and said. "Mr. Double Hearts, there is a shadow, reflecting in my eyes. When I glittered my eyes on it, it looks so dark. . . . I could've died, if I didn't set my eyes off your evils. What concern you with the baby? You can't love your baby and betray me as a mother. Let it be as a sound of warning to you. Don't ever ask me of your baby; because, your excitement with me, are full of evils. It's time for you to feel the pains more than me. Then you will know they is difference between pains and sorrow."
"What do you mean? I have much concern about you and my baby." Tears, ran down on his cheeks, "Please, it's not up to that extend. Don't go away from me; I still need you as my wife. Come back to me, everything will be all right," said James.
"Thank you so much for your stupid love. It is too late to embrace your dirty love, full of funny evils," she whispered and ordered the taxi driver to move.
James hits the car in other to stop it. "Wait a minute. Can you show me, where you keep my baby?"
"Oh, baby lover! You mean you are looking for your baby!
Oh no. . . . Why did you hate me and decided to like your baby?
If you need your baby, you better walked down to the pit at the backyard, and you would see the baby, waiting for you.
Mr. Double Hearts, it is time for you to continue with your stupid love.
Goodbye to you, Mr. Double Hearts," she hissed and the taxi drove away from him.
When the car was moving, he ran to catch up with the car, huffing rapidly. "Driver, please, waits a minute; let me talk to my wife." But the car could not stop for him.
After the car might have gone, he was running to meet up with the car and he could not: "So, Jessica had dropped my baby inside the deep pit? If she did that, it means, she is wicked to me." When he looked through the street, he could not see the car any longer.
Reaching the pit, he could not see the baby, because it was already night.
Immediately, he returned to the front door, he sighted Katrin, standing beside the door and he said to her. "Have you seen where Jessica dropped my baby?"
"No, I didn't see any baby. It looks like; she has gone away with the baby?"
"I don't understand Jessica. Can you imagine when I looked inside the car; I could not set my eyes on my baby. She told me that I should check the deep pit at the back of the house. When I got there, I could not see the baby.
What have I done to this woman that is so wicked to me like this?" He murmured, "She can't do that to my baby.
Well, let me go back the second time and check, if I can see my baby," he grumbled.
A week later, he called Jessica on phone; and she denied him, "Are you okay with your senses? Point of correction; what do you mean by James? I have no husband for now. If I decided to have a husband, it couldn't be you.
First of all, why did you call me, when you have already shared your hearts into two? Let it be the first and the last; I have nothing to do with you .A man with Double Hearts – go away from me.
Goodbye to you."
The conversation was ended with a red rock.
Six days later, the baby was found at the bottom of the deep pit with the help of the neighborhood. As it pleases God, the baby did not die. It was as if the baby was inside the mother's womb.
The following day, being the seventh day, the baby was named, according to the customs and traditions of Janport Island.
James had invited his family members, friends, and the neighbors, including his in-laws for the naming ceremony. The Janport Royal Family was not left out. There were all present, including the King of Janport Island, King Pedro the 2nd.
As the guest arrived at #35, Pokka Street, which is closed to J- J- Fashion Enterprise; James and his new wife, Katrin Oliver, presented the newborn baby to the minister in charge of Flow of Salvation Bible Church, Rev. Fred Mark in other to announce the baby's name as Lawrence James Parker;
"May he lives to serve the Lord, the nation, and his family at large: in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To God is the Glory." Amen was answered, chorally."
After proclaiming the baby's name, the Mighty dancers of Delid City, presented their cultural dance with their cultural attires, singing and chanting in different songs. This was the first in the history of Delid City.
At the end of the naming ceremony, the guest and well-wishers, departed to their various homes with happiness and joy.
