Continuation from last scene...
Flash back to what happened 2 years ago...
Scene 1( at the hospital)
I was so scàred that I quickly called my parents to tell them what happened..
Some hours later the doctor came out..
Henry: howfer doctor what is happening? What is going on?
Doc: I'm sorry we need to perform an emergency surgery for her so she can deliver the babies..
Henry: babies? How
Doc; yeah they are twin.. you don't know?
Henry: wow.. twin? I didn't..
Doc: yeah they are.. I'll give you document to sign and some money to pay before we begin
Henry: hmm but doctor what are the chances please? Will she be fine and the babies?
Doc: only God can determine that but we will try our best ok!
Henry: hmm alright doctor.. then he followed the doctor to his office..
Some hours later, one of the nurses in the theatre room came out..
Henry quickly rushed to him..
Howfer nurse? What is going on.. it been hours already..
Nurse: sorry please I need to talk to the husband
Henry: here I'm talk to me.. I'm her husband
Nurse: you? How? How come the babies are...
Henry: the babies are what?
Nurse: never mind... the doctor will soon come out..
Henry: please just tell me what is going on..
Nurse : I'm not in the position to say anything please..wait for the doctor..
Henry: hmmm but is the babies and mom ok
Nurse: wait for the doctor...she said and left..
Henry: rested his back on the wall..
Hmm what is going on? What is the nurse trying to say?
About 30 minutes later the doctor came out
Henry ran to the doctor..
Please doc what is going on
Doctor: congratulations sir.. everyone is ok.. surgery was successful
Henry: exhaled softly.. oh thank you lord..
Doctor: yeah.. but we need to talk please.. let go to my office
Henry: hmm... doc what is it?
Doctor: nothing much just a little discussion..
Then they entered the office...
Doc: sorry to ask you this question
Is that lady your wife?
Henry: not really but we have a son before this.. she's like a baby mama to me..
Doc: hmmm.. you both live together?
Henry: not until recently..
Doc: hmm... the issue is that the babies came out different..
Henry: different? How
Doc: in your family do you have any generation of white?
Henry: white? How please
Doc: hmmm I mean your babies came out white.. and that is not normal
Henry: white? In what way?
Doc: those babies looks like a white a baby or half cast.. from the hair down to the skin..
Henry: what are you trying to say doc?
That they aren't mine?
Doc: you just have to be sure and confirm yourself..
Henry: please can I go and see the babies?
Doc; yeah sure..
Then they both left to the room where the babies are kept..
Henry got inside and saw the babies and immediately was convinced that those babies aren't his..
Doc: what do you have to say?
Henry: they aren't mine doctor.. you're right!
Doc: you have to calm down Mr Henry I know what you thinking right now but please don't do or say anything to your wife now. At her current state she needs care not scolding..
Henry: kept quiet and left the room...
He went and sat at a quiet place thinking..
Some minutes later a call from his mom came in..
On call..
Henry: hello mom
Mom: my dear.. what is going on?
Henry: she has put to bed mom
Mom: wow congratulations.. I have another grand child oo.. she said shouting on the phone..
Henry: they are twins actually.. girls..
Mom: you don't mean it.. for real? A twin? Wow. This is bundle of joy
Henry: the kids came out white mom..
Mom: huh? White how? You mean they are very fair?
Henry: no mom.. real white.. like white babies. Mom those twins aren't mine.. he said and busted to tears..
Mom: Henry what do you mean its not yours? Your dad is fair na.. they might have probably taken your dad's skin colour
Henry; no mom.. I know what I'm saying.. I saw them already they aren't mine..
Mom: hmmm we're coming now..
She said and ended the call
Henry was still crying bitterly when one of the nurse called him..
Sorry sir.. your wife is awake she's asking of you..
Henry: okay thank you..
Then the nurse left...
About 10 minutes later he left where he was to go meet lizzy..
While going he saw the nurses talking send pointing fingers at him..
They were gossiping about him... .
He ignored and walked awày...
He got the room lizzy was.. and met her sitting on the bed already..
Lizzy: babe..
Henry: howfer? He responded coldly
Lizzy: I heard they are twin.. we have a twin now babe
Henry: yeah you do..
Lizzy: I do? What do you mean by yeah you do?
Henry: have you seen the babies?
Lizzy: no.. but I asked the nurse she said they are beautiful girls..
Henry: oh really? Is that all she told you?
Lizzy: Henry what is going on? What are you not telling me?
Henry: lizzy the babies you gave birth to are white babies.. those babies are not mine!
Lizzy: hmmm... so you eventually found out?
Henry: what? What do you mean?
Lizzy: i never knew you would find out so soon... Well.. actually the babies aren't yours.. they are for my white boyfriend..or let me say ex boyfriend..
He got me pregnant and denied it.. he said he does want a baby with a black person.. After some time I was deported back to Nigeria.. I never wanted to bring the child to you but I thought about their future.. how would I be able to take care of them.. so I had no choice than to put everything on you..
Henry: you're so èvil lizzy.. ah swearr you're so èvil. I can't imagine i once loved someone like you.. I regŕet the day i know you.
Lizzy 🙄🙄🙄...
Henry: thank God they are your baby... you have given birth to them you should take them awày yourself.. I don't want to see you around my house again
While still talking Henry's mom walked in..
Mom: what is going on here..
Henry what were you saying on the phone?
Henry: mom we don't need any explanation again.. she just told me everything.. the babies aren't mine..
Mom: what? Lizzy is that true?
Lizzy: your son just said it...
Mom: you this èvil girl.. so you came to my house to lie to me? How dare you..
Henry: mom please let not waste our time on her...
I have told you lizzy I don't want to ever see you around me again. And forget about kelvin to..
He said and left the room with his mom..
******Back to reality ******
Samuel: hmmm... wow lizzy did all of this? Hmmm
So is that how it ended? How did the babies get to you? I thought you left her at the hospital?
Henry: yeah... I did but the following day I got a call from the hospital saying she ran awày from the hospital leaving the kids..
I told my parents about it. My mom asked me to forget about the kids.
But I couldn't.. my heart won't let me..
I went back to the hospital and carried the baby since I was the one that signed for the surgery.. and i signed as the father..
Samuel: hmm you did well by taking the babies i would have done so too..
Henry: yeah.. so that is it..
Look at the babies now.. they have turned part of me.. I love them so much.. they call me mama and dada..
Samuel: haha... that's nice..
You have done well actually...
Henry: to be sincere at some point I wished you were here with me then..
I went back to your old house almost all the time to check and ask your neighbours if you guys came back..
Samuel: hmmm.. none of them know where we were..
Henry: yeah I thought so too..
The past 2 years hasn't been easy..
Taking care of babies is not easy.. I actually understood how tedious it is taking care of babies.. but you did it then with easy.
Samuel: smiles..
Henry: yeah.. so where do you guys live now?
Samuel: the house behind this building is ours..
Henry: wow.. I'm so happy for you..
You eventually did well for yourself and family...
Samuel: smiles.. it wasn't easy though but thank God.
Henry: yeah. You're looking so nice now I must confess.. you're glowing!
Samuel: i should! I no longer work as a nanny.. what do you expect?
Henry: hmmm... why are you talking that way? I never called you that Samuel. You know that
Samuel: you don't have to call me but that it what it was! Anyways it all in the past..
Henry: yeah... so when can I see you again?
Samuel: see me for what?
Henry: hmm nothing just for us to hang out and talk..
Samuel: hmm that is not necessary again..
Henry: why? You don't miss me? It been 2 years sam.. I miss you so much!
Samuel: hahahaha... Henry Henry! You haven't changed..
You know the problem with you is that you're not man! You can stick to your word as a man.. you're easily carried away.. After everything lizzy did to you.. she came back with pregnancy you accepted her immediately.. ever since then you start giving me attitude..
You forgot about all the promises you made to me.. it was that easy for you..
The day before I left I wanted to talk to you but lizzy fakèd a pain that night that made you ignored me.. thinking about all of that i just knew I have lost..
I love you though but love isn't enough!
Henry: I'm sorry for everything!
Samuel: me i have forgiven you o...
I left you with a good heart. No grudges..
Because I wanted you to build your life with lizzy.. but see how everything turned out..
Henry: but can I ask you.. be sincere
Do you still like me? Can things still work out between us?
Samuel: eeh? Things do what? God abeg.. no ooo! My life mustn't revolve round a particular person.. I have moved on with a different person..
Henry: wow! It was that easy for you?
Samuel: should it be difficult?
I should be waiting for you ? Imagine things didn't go bad between you and lizzy. Would you be here explaining all of this?
Henry: hmm but I believe everything work with how God wants it.
Samuel: hmmm.. true! Same way he gave me a different person..
Henry: so you truly have a new person?
Samuel: you thought i was joking?
Excuse me please let me pìck this call..
He said and carried his phone..
On call..
Samuel: hi babe
I'm fine..
Henry: hmmm... he's actually serious? He said in his mind while looking at Samuel...
Samuel: I'm at mom place oo.. you want me to come over?
Hahah ok baby I'll soon come. Should I bring food?
Aha alright babe. See you later bye
Love you too
Call ended..
Then one of the waiter came and met them..
Sir, your mom is calling you!
Samuel: I'm coming please he said and left immediately...leaving his phone
Then Henry quickly carried the phone before the light goes off to check who Samuel was talking to..
He checked the call log and couldn't see any recent call..
The last call there was around 8:15am with his mom...
Then he smiled and dropped the phone back quietly...
Not long after that Samuel came back.
Oh sorry its my mom.. she asked me about something.
Henry: hmm ok its fine, so I guess I finally lost!
Samuel: yes you did.
I met a different person who showed me another angle of love..
Henry: hmm I see.. im happy for you.. he said and smiled in a weird way
Samuel: what funny?
Henry: but can we still be friends?
Samuel: yeah sure!..
Henry: alright..
We talk soon right?
Samuel: yeah..
Then Henry gather the kids and left...
Immediately he left...
Samuel: exhaled softly ... hmmm
He sighed and entered the restaurant back..

Samuel: Jesussss... Henry! He shoutéd and ended the call out of shame

He said and he fell on his bed laughing so hàrd...
At least this more than enough justification that he's still much available... ahh thank you lord! This means I still have a chance...
The following day as early possible... Henry drove to Samuel's place... he met the restaurant closed because it was Sunday morning..
Then he followed back and saw the entrance to the main house..
