Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 60

Tobi has been holding a meeting with a client for the last one hour plus some minutes now, and it looks like the meeting is not about to end soon, it’s not a secret to anyone in the office that whenever Tobi is having such a meeting, no one disturbs him no matter the urgency of the matter, it’s always Jane to take care of any emergency that comes, even if one calls his personal cellphone he will not pause the meeting to take the call unless it’s Melanie calling, so as he’s in the middle of this important meeting, his personal cellphone starts to Ring, he gets it out of his pocket and it’s Jane, he wonders what could be so important that she would forget he doesn’t pick calls at such moments, he ignores the first call, the second and on the third one, he switches off and continues with his meeting……..

Jane after the third attempts begins to get frustrated with Tobi
“Please pick up pick up Tobi…. pick the d--n phone up” she tries again and it’s unreachable, she puts her phone down finally and takes to her feet running towards his office, everyone in the other offices all come out in the corridor asking her what the emergency is but she has no time for them just yet, she chooses to ignore them and just run, she reaches Tobi’s door and without, knocking just pushes open the door startling him and he stands up, he looks at Jane like he has seen a ghost, she’s breathing heavily and trying to catch he breath
“What’s wrong with you Jane…..don’t you know I’m in a middle of something so important”

“I’m so sorry but it’s her….it’s Melanie…. she… she…. she had an accident”
“Jesus…..” he drops the phone down and takes to his feet pushing Jane out of his way
“Wait for me” Jane screams but he’s already on his way almost reaching the reception area, Jane decides to take off her uncomfortable shoes and takes after him…….Tobi reaches the reception and he’s about to get out of the building when Jane screams
“In the rest room” Tobi changes the direction so sharply and by the time he got there, guys had just gathered and are doing nothing apart from watching the almost lifeless Melanie, Tobi pushes through them and dives landing besides Melanie

“What happened to my wife…..My love….babe what happened to you… what happened please talk to me, why did you reject my offer to drive you home” he can’t control his emotion because he’s already shading tears just, all his employees are so dumbfounded and beyond shocked, they had suspected it but they thought it was not true, Mel and Tobi’s relationship was indeed beyond the relationship between a boss and employee….they have managed to keep it from them and no one knew except Jane, this like a bomb to them but seeing Tobi really shading tears means he truly loves her, before all of them could even react to this new developed, Jane arrives

“What are you all looking at, didn’t you all say you had no ears to hear a voice in need of help, how come you all have ears to hear what was going on here….get back to work” they leave without any objection and once they are gone, Tobi who is still mentally confused turns Mel and sees blood on the floor and also on her thighs

“She’s bleeding Jane….she’s bleeding, she’s loosing our baby” he looks scared and Jane asks him to move away she checks and can tell more blood coming

“She’s loosing too much blood, we need to take her to the hospital” they carry a bleeding Mel to the car and both of them are headed to the hospital

“What happened Jane…..what really happened”
“I don’t know….”
“She was just in my office before this happened, I wish I had insisted more on taking her home…..I just hope she’s alright and nothing happens to my child too”
“I’m sure nothing will happen just have faith because you’re a good man but right now I just want you to calm down and and drive in clear mind so we can save her and the baby”

“We were just at the doctors the other day and he assured me that Mel and our baby were doing fine, I was so happy that in a months plus some days time I would become a father”

“Calm down Tobi….. have you called her mother”

“I couldn’t even think about it….please help me, I left my phone behind”………..
