If Only She Knew - Season 1 - Episode 17

“Take me home please,” said the terrified Shania tears streaming down on her face.

He took his jacket and gave it to her. He walked out of the room, his hands on her shoulders.
“Ohhh wait for me here,” said Andy.
“Where are you going? “I don’t have a car so I am going to take the gentleman’s car keys. I am sure he won’t mind if I take
his car.”

“Let’s go back together.”
“Okay if you say so,” he held her hand.
They went back to the room and Roy was still lying on the floor.

“Is he not dead?” asked Shania wiping the tears.

“No, he is taking a nap. He had too much to drink. He will be fine,” he searched his pocket
trousers and took the keys. “Let’s go.”
“Wait!”

Shania kicked Roy on the stomach.
“Idiot! Fool!”
Andrew just smiled.

“That was a good kick,” he said as they headed to the exit door.

The car was parked at the front of the hotel. He opened the car door for her.

“Thank you for saving my life in there.”
“You welcome madam,” his eyes fixed on the road.

“How did you know I was in there? Ohh sorry. You wearing a uniform.”

“Yes, security guard. Manager advised me to check the rooms. That is when I heard screams. I
wanted to go back and call him but then I thought. What if it’s a killer? I took a deep breath and yanked the door open. That is when I f…,” he stopped at midsentence and looked at her. “Some men are dogs. He deserve to be thrown in jail.”
She smiled.

“Me calling men dogs. It sure made you smile right.”

“Not exactly,” she said laughingly.
They talked and laughed until they reached Shania’s house. He drove the car inside, parked it.

He opened the car door for her. They walked inside the house.

“What happened to you?” asked her father.
“That idiot son of a Minister tried to rape me,” she sat down.

“Young man. Take a sit,” he offered.
“Thank you, sir.”
He sat beside his daughter.

“Tell me what happened?”
Shania explained everything that had transpired to her father.

“D--n him!” he shouted banging his fist on the table. “I should have known that’s what he was up to.

I am very sorry, my princess. He will pay for what he did to you.”

“No, just let it go. I need to go and take a bath,” she said getting up leaving Andrew with his father.

He stood up and walked to the bar area. He poured a glass of wine.

“Wine?”
“No, sir. Thank you.”
“So. You my daughter’s superman?” He raised a brow, and a slight smile teased at the corner of his lips. “No need to feel nervous. Thank you very much for what you did. It’s all my fault,” he looked steadily at him. “Trying to hook up my daughter with someone I, myself hardly know,” he took a sip. “What a bad father I am. Look now I left my daughter with a criminal. I will surely win an
award of being the worst or bad father of the year.”

“You don’t have to blame yourself, sir. You didn’t know things were going to turn out this way.

We all want whats best for our children. Miss is a grown up woman now. I think it will be best if you let her make her own decisions. In that way you won’t blame yourself for her mistakes. She is a good woman,” said Andrew.

“I guess you right. Wise words young man. I should take your advise, let her be. Shania can be
stubborn sometimes. But what you said it really make sense,” he took a sip and placed the glass
on the table.

“I better get going. My son will soon worry of my whereabouts. I have to go back with the
gentleman’s car.”

“No need for that. I will ask my driver to drive it back. He will take you home. Thank you once
again. I didn’t get your name.”

“It’s Andrew, sir.”

“I see.You work at my hotel,” he said walking him to the door. “Have a safe drive.”

The driver took him at his house. Upon arrival Calvin was still awake studying.

The next following day Andrew spent the day washing his clothes and his son’s. He cleaned the house and since he was on night duty. He spent the day at his house. Calvin came back from
school

“I am going to work,” said Andrew at around 7pm. “Lock the door before you go to sleep.”
“Okay, dad.”

He was about to open the door when his phone rang.

“Hello!” he responded.

“It’s doctor Susan. You need to come to the hospital. It’s about your daughter.”

“What happened to her?”
“It’s best you come, sir.”
She hanged up.

“Calvin. Take your jacket now. We going to the hospital. Something is wrong with your sister. They couldn’t tell me what it is.”

They got out of the house and took a taxi to the hospital. It dropped them off. He ran inside the
hospital with his son trailing behind.

“What happened to my princess?”
“We found a donor,” said the doctor in her office.

“But?”
“You need to pay the money for the operation so it can be carried out tomorrow.”

“I have half of it. Can’t you do the operation then I will pay later.”

“We cannot do that sir. Please excuse me. I have a patient to attend to. ”

He walked out of the office. Hours passed as he sat on the bench with his son waiting to talk to the
door, beg her. “What are you doing here?” she asked
He looked at her surprised to see her.
