To Hate Emmanuel Johnsons - Episode 41

Emmanuel:

I am on a truth seeking mission. I never ignore my guts and right

now, it tells me that this airport lady is my tessy. I don't know how

but i would surely find out soon. After the accident that supposedly

killed her,r none of their bodies were found. Something is fishy. The

little girl at the hospital is definitely olivia. I was so shocked

when as soon as i woke her, she smiled at me and called me cutie.

Before i left the hospital she was asking for tessy. I told her that

I'll bring tessy to her. If the little girl is olivia, then why isn't

she with tessy?. Everything doesn't add up. Before coming to my

office, i went to the HR department and aske for her file and behold,

the name on her file is tessy. The surname is different though. This

is too much similarity  to be called coincidence and i must get to the

bottom of this. If she's tessy, why did she change her surname? And

why does she pretend not to know me. Is she trying to hide from

something or someone?. Well, after all the tests i have planned

coupled with the private investigator i just hired, the truth would be

out. By the end of our 1 week trip to ughelli, I'll have my tessy in

my arms.

I had to deceive her that this work related to get her to join me in

my trip

. Now, everything is set. We are leaving this night. I sit in

my office going over all my plans as i wait for tessy. As soon as i

hear her enter her office, i hurry and take off my jacket, my tie and

my button down shirt. I pour the cold coffee on my shirt and pretend

to worry about the stain while shirtless. Tessy enters my office at

this moment and i hear her suck in a deep breath. Yea, i have been

working out alot since my surgery to keep fit and its evident in my

six packs and moderately big biceps. I know she's watching me and i

cant help but flex my biceps more. I hear another gasp and i turn and

feign shock at her presence.

"oh i am sorry, i didn't hear you come in. Have you been there for a

while?" i ask and i see the faint blush on her cheeks.

"umm. No!. I wasn't watching you. I am not a pervert like you" she

says and fold her hands. This pushes her breast up and my mouth waters

at the sight. She catches my eyes and she glare at me. The old tessy

would have shied away. Okay no more distractions. I walk closer to her

and pretend to search for something on my desk. She tries to divert

her eyes from my body until her eyes settle on my surgery scar. Good.

"what's that?" she asks

"what's what?"

"that scar, you didn't have that be-- i mean how did you get that?" i

smile inwardly. She was going to say, i didn't have that before and

only if she is my tessy would she know that.

"oh that, its a surgery scar. Its where the doctors extracted my tumor from"

"you had cancer?. Oh my God, i didn't know. I am so sorry" she looks

genuinely sorry. My tessy was always sympathetic.

"its fine now. The worst part of my treatment was being alone on that

hospital bed for months, friendless." i say"there's no need for

sympathy now, but If you know any cancer patient, you should always

chat them up, it helps the loneliness" i add. Her face shows

remembrance. I hope she just remembered 'favour lee' her fb friend

with cancer. After observing her for a while, i slip my soiled shirt

back on.

"lets be on our way, I'll stop by my house and grab my suitcase, its

already packed" she just nods and follow me. When we get to my house,

the one i lived in when tessy and her family came to visit, i drop my

briefcase on the sofa and get water in a glass for tessy, as i hand it

to her i intentionally let it slip and it crashes to the ground in

many pieces. I bend to gather the pieces and again intentionally press

my hand to the shards of glass and my finger starts bleeding.

"oh my God. Emmanuel umm i mean sir, are you okay!" tessy says and

holds my hurt hand and blow on it. I savour her breathe on me for a

second then continue my facade

"it hurts so bad. Go get the first aid kit"

"oh, okay" she says and dash to the bathroom upstairs to get the first

aid kit without asking for directions. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Tessy comes back with the box and she tend to my wound. I don't even

feel any pain.

. My mind is just consumed with the possibility of tessy

being alive and well. After tending my injury, i pick my suitcase then

we head for ughelli. As soon as we reach there, i take her straight to

the hospital where olivia is.

"is your hand that bad that we have to come to the hospital" she asks

"no, i have to see someone before we go to the hotel" i park my car

and we alight. As we enter the children ward, i watch tessy. She's

quiet. We enter olivia's room and she's awake. As soon as olivia sees

us, she runs to us.

"tessy, you are back. I thought you left me with mother forever.

Anytime i ask her to take me to you, she beats me and take away my

food. Thank God you are back" olivia says hugging tessy. I watch tessy

and she looks passive. This is not the reaction i was expecting from

her if she really is my tessy.
