CHAPTER8: THE TWO STRANGE VISITORS.
"The long day has been far spent" Dooter said and at this point, Dooter's pregnancy was 3 months, she was alone in the house as her husband had gone out with friends for evening outings.
While she was taking a little nap, she had an unusual feeling that made her uncomfortable, as she rolled over on the bed her eyes suddenly pushed open, Lol! and behold! She saw something very odd at this point. Two beings looking very awkward but calmed down to listen to whatever they had to say to her because her husband was not there to help her.
Soon they began to talk "We are friends who are always there to watch over you and protect you, the child in which you have in your belly is a very special one and he is also a friend of ours that is why we had to come over to make ourselves known to you. You need not to be afraid whenever you see us because we cant do you any harm. We would come regularly to visit you and our unborn friend until he is born". At this time, she listened to them for more than half an hour without knowing who spoke because she could not face them. While they kept talking peacefully with full assurance of not being there to harm her, her mind became free from fear and she began to accept whatever they were saying. She tried to know where the hell they must have come from but they told her not to border herself because it wasn't necessary. They gave her the assurance that she was going to be protected and no harmful force will come her way and succeed. She thanked them for their kind statements looking at them in their faces fearlessly.
In gladness and happiness, she wanted to get some wine for them to drink so she took permission but not telling them of where she was going to, on her arrival after getting the wine for them, they were nowhere to be found. She looked around for them but fond them not. She picked up her phone immediately to call her husband but was having some network issues so she decided to chill and wait for him to return from where he had gone to.
Within a short period, Mr. Martins returned and immediately she set her eyes on him, she ran to give him a very strange hug but he did not understood why she was acting so bizarre. She took him to the living room and began to narrate the experience she just had. Mr. Martins putting up his face in doubt, smiled at her and told her that nothing of such has happened and then said to her that it was either a day dream or her hallucination giving his reasons to be that because of her pregnancy. He said again that she had been into imaginations but Dooter, in trying to make it clear to him, said again to Mr Martins that she was veracious about what she saw with her eyes. Trying to call it off, Mr. Martins hugged her and planted a soft kiss on her forehead and told her that "Nothing is going to happen to you". He brought out the roasted meats (suya) he had bought for her which they both ate together. Few days after she told him of the staraordinary visitors, even though to him it was just her hallucination or a day dream, he showed care and concern by suggesting to his wife if they could hire some securities to watch over them and also the house at large since they were not living in his company's staff quarters and also a lady to become a house help to her which she agreed to but jokingly asked him if he would get his eyes off and not be lust over the lady that would be brought home. Mr.Martins as he heard that from his wife, laughed and again assured her that nothing will happen. After giving her the assurance, Dooter now told Mr Martins to bring a hard working person and also told him to ask well before bringing in a criminal to the house. Mr Martins after listening to his wife, nodded his head in approval and then they end the discussion.
After 3 days. he came back home with two Security guards....Both were older than him and then he called his wife and introduced them to her and also introduced her to them as his wife.
The security guards were grateful that at least they had gotten the opportunity to be paid and can feed themselves so they thanked both Mr. Martins and his wife.
After introducing the securities to his wife, he took them to the security room to rest before calling them back to tell them their duties.
Early the next day, Mr. Martins summoned the two securities to the parlor again and told them that he is not always in the state or country because of the nature of his work as a senior staff in a very big shipping company. He told them that he travels from countries to countries and as such, he would want them to watch over his wife and also told them not to allow strangers in unless the person knows her but they should always inform her and also take her decisions serious. Haven his information passed onto the new securities, he asked them to begin their duties which they immediately stood up, thanked him and left.
Few days after employing the securities, Mr. Martins now found a house help for his wife, she was an aged woman but not too old. He said to her that it was made known to him that she is a hard working woman and then explained further to her that his reasons to bring in such a woman to his wife was not just to be a helper but an adviser to her and also take her as a daughter. He brought the lady to his wife and on seen the lady, his wife felt very happy.
After Dooter welcomed the house help, she asked her if she would feel comfortable working with her and immediately thanked her and said to her that she's filled with pleasure to be with her and then assured Dooter of giving her maximum best and from there, she (Dooter) took her (The helper) to her room.
Mr. Martins after observing the workers he employed, he found out that they were all hard working and then, went to the market and bought them all good smart phones and gave it to them and told them that they would use the phones to call him, his wife and even police if necessary. He advised them not to be addicted nor carried away by the supremacy of the phone.
Been very grateful to him as he handed the phones to them, they all thanked him but he again, assured them that if they put more effort and give him their very best, he will do more for them and they also promised to give him their very best.
After having the conversation with his workers, he went into the room and told his wife( Dooter of his plans to travel abroad to carry out some of the tasks given to him by his company but assured her of not over staying just as he did the first time but she told him that it was all fine and then he hugged her and gave her a sharp kiss.
She called the house help and told her what to prepare for breakfast and she immediately entered kitchen to prepare it and brought it and served them on the dining which they also invited her to eat with them.
After eating, she appreciated Mrs Martins( Dooter) for the offer. Mr. Martins after resting for some hours, he told his wife to go to bed and then he supported her to the bed.
Early in the morning the next day, Mr. Martins was set to go. He called his securities to help him do some cleanups and also put his bags in the boot and then Dooter (his wife) held his hand as they all prayed.
After the prayer, he entered his car and then drove to the sea port and when they reached there, he gave the car to a hired driver to take it home as his flight took off.
