THE NIGHT IT HAPPENED



                                         PART V

I was helpless and was at that spot for more than 10 minutes analyzing what my best option was. With hands like jelly, I picked up my phone and saw myself dialing Fabian's number. He was the only person I could think of calling. 

It rang once and he picked, just as though he has been expecting the call anxiously; "So? What is your conclusion?" 

He said with the most wicked, emotionless voice I have ever heard from him. " Festus is dying" I summoned all the strength to say it. 

"You did it? What did you use? Rat poison? I knew you won't disappoint me, I will be on my way right now, to help you finish it up. We will make his death clean without implicating you." 

 I couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth and for the first time, it seemed like for the first time, I saw the wolf in the lamb clothing. He was the devil sent to finish me, I have revered him because he was so loving, he has been so pretentious. 

The love I felt for him suddenly turned into fear and bitter hatred. Unfortunately, Fabian's place was just a 10-minute drive from mine. It suddenly dawned on me that Fabian was coming to kill Festus.  

Was that what I wanted? Just then, a voice which I feel was the Holy Spirit, spoke to me. I lost the touch of that voice since my intercourse with Fabian in room 401, the voice of the Holy Spirit has been so far from me. 

I heard him saying, "Get Festus out of here fast." How was I going to get my giant husband out of the room, and out of the house? I was not even sure I could drive. My legs felt so stiff. 

 I decided to call our doctor to send the ambulance, which I did, but he told me the ambulance would take 25 minutes to arrive because of the distance. As I rounded up the call with my doctor, I heard the banging on the gate, I froze, "Fabian was around already"? 

I curled up beside Festus and said the only prayer I could mutter, " God please don't let Festus die, please send Fabian away." My phone started ringing, I didn't have to check the screen to see who it was.  

Suddenly, the banging stopped, I heaved a sigh of relief, Fabian was gone. So I thought until I heard a loud thud, Fabian had jumped the fence and was now in the compound. Oh my! There was no stopping him.  As a close friend, he knew our emergency entrance into the house, through the roof; Fabian was going to kill Festus. I had locked up all the doors hitherto. 

 I sat down defeated as I heard his footsteps on the roof. I went to further lock up every other doors that could lead to the room we were. Fabian got into the house and was now calling my name in the most loving way I've ever heard. "Grace Bae, where are you? I know you are scared, we can handle this together. Sometimes, bad things have to happen to others for us to be happy."  

 By this time, he was at the door of the bedroom. "Open Grace, Let's do this before the day breaks. You know I love you Baby, this is for us, when we are done with this, I will divorce my wife so we can be together." 

I didn't move an inch. I sat beside Festus who was already in a coma, as I kept checking if he was breathing. "Fabian, please leave me alone, I don't love you anymore." I said with the little strength in me. My eyes were gushing out tears endlessly. 

 "No you do, You love me and I love you, you are just stressed up." He said, trying to convince me. " Fabian you are destroying me, is that what you came for? I thought you came to help my music, but my music does not mean anything to me anymore. If you want to finish me,  please do, not my husband, he is a good man." I cried bitterly.

 " I love you, is that a crime? We are soulmates, if you had not married early, maybe we could have been married" Fabian was saying, using his sweet cajoling voice, but I noticed Fabian was moving around as he spoke. I did't understand why until I saw the knob moving. He was obviously trying to break in with a knife or something. Fabian was going to kill Festus! 

Just then, a miracle happened. We heard the siren of the ambulance. "You called the police on me, Grace?" Fabian asked in disbelief. NO, I mean it is, "I tried explaining it was an ambulance, but then it hit me that that was the chance to get the impostor out of the way, Fabian thought the ambulance was the police, this was the best opportunity. I didn't utter any more word. Fabian got furious, " Grace, you are going to pay for this, you called the police on me?" 

 He left the door, opened the back door of the kitchen and jumped out through the fence. With shaky hands and feet, I went out to open the gate for the ambulance.  

We got to the hospital on time, but it was too late, Daniel was already a vegetable, alive but no more active, my one night of adultery was giving way to more than I bargained for.  I had two problems now. First, what do I tell my Igbo in-laws? Secondly, I have to face Fabian's wrath. Fabian, the handsome monster I thought I knew before, at that moment, I didn't know what he was capable of doing next. 

Dear readers, this is the level it has gotten to. What do you have to say to me now? Do you condemn me totally?
