Emmanuel's pov:

its Saturday already. Oh, i have been waiting for this weekend to

come. I hope olivia is ready. This would be fun. I would help her

loosen up a little. She doesn't do anything fun. She just thinks about

other people, forgetting about herself. I'll command her to do many

fun things this weekend. Oh, i cant wait to see the look on her face

when she realise that i live here . Hahaha. I am looking forward to

seeing olivia. I am happy that i was able to help in purchasing her

books. I wear my favourite t-shirt and jeans, then move to the sitting

room to wait for our special guest. Then i hear a knock at the door.

My dad is still in his room but i go to open the door. When i get to

the door, i see its Alex.

"guy, i have been trying to reach you, what's wrong with your phone?"

he asks as soon as i open the door.

"oh, it fell and i have not coupled it back together. What's up?"

"i told my dad about the pain you have been having. He suspects that

it is something big. So he asked me to call you so you could explain

to him better"

"at the hospital?"

"yea, he needs to carry out some tests too"

Alex's dad is a doctor and i asked him to tell his father about my

symptoms. Tessy and olivia can wait

. I need to see the doctor now.

I follow Alex and we leave the house. On getting to the hospital, i

tell Mr Alex(Alex and his dad bear the same name) about my abdominal

and back pain.

"have you had any vomiting spells?" he asks looking solemn.

"just once sir. It was just a stomach bug" the look on his face as i

tell him this, makes my stomach sink.

"Emmanuel, there is something i have to tell you. Your mother made me

promise not to tell you or your father" he says. At the mention of my

mother, i give him all my attention.

"what is it sir?"

"your mother had cancer. That's the reason she died"

"what?!. You must be joking. My mother committed suicide. I was the

one that found her in her room with her pills held tightly in her

hand. I held i lifeless body in my arms"i say, emotionally

"emmanuel calm down. Your mother didn't want to go through the pain of

chemotherapy, physiotheraphy and she said she didn't want you to watch

as she died slowly. We didn't discover her cancer on time so she

didn't have much time left. Am sorry" i just look at him numb.

"why i you telling me this now?" i ask

"because, my suspicion is that you inherited her cancer. Your symptoms

are the same as hers. But we cant be sure until we carry out some

tests"

"so, you mean, i am going to die soon?"

"if its still at the early stage we can treat it. Or you can go abroad

for treatment. Lets just do the tests" i just nod. This is information

overload. I have been carrying a grudge in my heart against tehila and

tessy.

Read " Mirage " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. Now i hear that cancer made her  commit suicide.

By the time i finish the tests, its already 8:30pm. I hail a cab then

go home. As soon as i reach the house, I go straight to my room as

nobody is in the sitting room. I cant see tessy right now. I have to

digest this news. I may not have much time left to live. To tease

tessy. Wow, what a shock!.. I have been pretending as a guy with

cancer on Facebook and now i may have it. God is this my punishment?.

I carry the picture of our family from my night stand and weep. No

wonder she looks pale in the photo.
