Ruby woke up with a start.

Her body had suddenly touched something like oven and she became alert immediately.

She turned on the bed side lamp and saw Jake shivering.

He was almost on the verge of having convulsion.

Fear crawled down Ruby's spine, she began to panic.

"Jake what is it?"

She said almost in a dry voice.

She shook him vigorously but Jake lay there shivering.

His body was extremely hot.

Ruby was confused, she did not know what to do.

She ran out of the room into the small kitchen to boil warm water in the electric kettle.

She ran back to the bedroom and sat at the edge of the bed staring at Jake with naked fear in her eyes.

"Please Lord don't let anything happened to Jake"

Ruby murmured and covered him with the thin bed sheet.

She loved Jake so much.

She can't let him knew what transpired between her and Mark, the news might give him heart attack.

She had received a phone call from Amaka yesterday evening to come to the house this morning.

She had been contemplating whether to tell her madam what her husband did to her when she slept off.

Jake's sudden sickness had made her strong and help steady her troubled mind.

No, she won't unless she was pushed to.

She heard the distant church bell chimed 4 O'clock in the morning and checked her time, 4am.

She stared at her boyfriend and silently prayed for day to break.

Jake was sweating and shivering at the same time, his raspy breath came in quick succession.

She heard the water boiling and rushed into the kitchen to get the water.

Jake opened his eyes lazily and saw her moving into the kitchen.

"Ruby p..p... Please get the ...the key

. ...my..my car..."

He tried to stand up, fall back on the bed and passed out.

Ruby heard him talking and ran back to the room with a bowl of hot water and a thick towel she found in the bathroom.

She soaked the towel inside the hot water and began Mop Jake with it.

His body temperature seemed to be increasing.

The bed was soaked with Jake's sweat.

This is getting worse, she needs to get him to the nearest hospital before he dies.

She began to sob

"Please Jake, don't do this to me."

As if reading her mind, Jake suddenly jerk his head up and developed instant convulsion.

Terrified; Ruby ran outside to get a taxi.

She raced along the street and swerved round the bend that led towards the express road.

Luckily she saw one driver riding home slowly immediately she burst out and rushed to the center of the road.

The taxi man stopped when he saw a slim girl on a night wear standing in front of him.

He stopped the car and tossed his cigarette out of the window.

"What on earth in wrong with you young lady? Do you wanna get yourself killed?"

Bawled the taxi driver as Ruby ran up to him.

"Sorry sir, please help me. My friend is dying."

The driver looked at her and his eyes glowed with lust.

The transparent nightie gown hardly covers her body and Ruby saw the intense look in the driver's eyes as he continued to look.

"Em, well.

Read " Unholy Condemnation " by the same author ( Best Stevenho )

. I will help you. I don't see the reason why such a pretty lady like you wanted to kill herself. Hop in"

Ruby began to back out.

"Its OK sir. I think I made a mistake. I will manage."

The driver came down from the car.

The lustful desire was cleared registered in his eyes.

"Come on, you need help huh? We can amuse each other for a while. You don't need to pay for the fare. With a body like this, I can drive you to the moon and back"

The driver said and began to approach Ruby.

She quickly ran away and the driver followed her in a hot pursuit.

She ran blindly along the express road; trying to put as much distant as possible between herself and the taxi driver.

She looked back and saw the driver entering his taxi.

She stopped, panting and trying to regained her breath as the man drove away leisurely in his battered taxi.

Ruby jogged back to the junction and saw a black truck as it eased out of the road. She recognized the truck.

It belongs to Jake's neighbour who sell fruits in the market.

He always move early in the morning for his morning business.

She had seen him a couple of times driving the fruit truck home.

She suddenly stopped him.

"Sir good morning. Please sir Jake is very sick. He needs medical attention."

Sobbed Ruby.

Without saying a word the man reversed the car, Ruby entered and the man drove back to the yard.

He came down from the car and followed Ruby inside.

Jake was on the floor sleeping.

"What happened to him?"

The man asked and touched Jake.

He withdrew his hand as if he had touched a hot iron.

"What! He has fever. Come let's carry him to the vehicle."

They both carried Jake to the truck and Ruby joined him on the back seat; Jake's throbbing head resting on her thighs as the driver started the truck and drove down the road towards the nearest hospital...

    @Rhoda. the story was scripted but yet to be shot due to lack of sponsorship. though I reduced the density of the romance scenes. it still passes the same message.
