Josh's POV

I had missed lot of calls from Tola, mum , dad and Mercy, I decided to call Daddy, because I know no matter what it is, dad is the best person to speak to.

Good evening sir, am sorry I missed your call I said, good evening, where have you been, we have been trying to reach you since, please come over to the house he said. Hope no problem sir, not at all, we just wanted to sort somethings out, your mom called you three days ago, you didnt pick or return the call, that was why we gave you series of calls, he said . Ok dad I will be with you in a jiffy

Welcome my son , mum said after greeting her, sit down let's talk about this issue, mom there is nothing to talk about, I love her , can you keep quiet and let me talk, she said a bit angry, she brought out her phone, look at this, she said, wow!!, I said watching the video.

For her to go this far, it shows that she has really changed, dad said, yes she has , trust me mum,  this really amused me, who am I to condemn her for her past, I was only trying to be careful, you know, have heard lots of story, she said, Mom believe me, she is God's will for me, ok , no problem dear, when are you visiting her, like to sort the whole issue, Dad said. She is currently in Lagos for an important appointment, Mercy said, ok then, we will all go to Lagos by weekend, mom said.

Thank you so much mum and dad, I said hugging them, I need to go now, my husband will be waiting for me, Mercy said

The phone call interrupted us, Am I unto Mrs Alabi, hello ma'am your husband just collapsed at the clubhouse, and has been rushed to this hospital, salvation clinic , the caller said cutting the call.

I told Tola what the caller said, we rushed to the clinic, after waiting for sometimes, he finally regained his consciousness, the doctor spoke to us, Your husband has cirrhosis of the lover, he is at a very critical stage,  I was shocked,  How??, Why??, Doctor answer me. The too much of alcohol in take , oh my God, i sat  on the floor crying, this is not a time to cry, lets just hope and pray to God .

Asake came over the next day, what are you doing here Asake I asked, who did you leave the kids with. She stared at me and then continued.

How do you expect me to bring 4 kids to the hospital with my condition,  she said. Is it me you are talking to like that, I said, madam I no come for your wahala, I came to tell your husband good bye she said. she walks close to the bed and gave Alabi a peck. I was so confused, I didn't even know what to say

Come back here , Asake, abeg comot your hand from my body, we no dey the same level again, she walks away hurriedly.

Three days later, it was a Thursday, Alabi's Condition grew so worse, please take me home, he begged. The doctor persuaded him to stay but he refused, he was discharged the next morning.

Immediately we got home, Alabi begged me and tld me to take him to Asake's room, he opened the drawer to take the note,  his eyes where weak, he could not really read them, Tola had to read it.

It says, 

Alabi Olatunji, thanks for being an instrument God use to uplift me,  am so happy I met you, my husband is so grateful to you .

Uche and Chukwu are not your children, even the baby I am carrying is not yours, I slept with you for your money and properties thank God I got it.

When I found out you had that disease of yours, I persuaded you to change the property name to my children's name. I only pity ur wife for entrusting all her hard earned money to you.  REST IN PEACE.
