Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 64

It took another two hours for Mac who’s sweating profusely to finally come out of the theater, he heads straight to the reception when Tobi instantly got up on sighting him
“Mac…..” he goes standing by his side and the three women walk over to him

“The worst is not over yet but all is fine” this doesn’t still sound good in Tobi’s ears
“Get rid of that face brother and congratulations, you’re a proud father of a baby girl” Tobi jumps up and then on Mac because of this news for a hug

“Mother and child doing well but Mel lost a lot of blood, we have put her on transfusion and she was actually luck to find our blood bank not empty”

“Did hear that mum….I’m a Dad” Tobi is so excited and for a moment, Ofelia is confused but she brushes it off as merely the love he has for Mel

“Thank God…. I was so scared something would happen to my daughter…. Thank you doctor” they shake hands and Jane too can’t hide her excitement

“Can you come with me brother”
“Sure” Tobi follows Mac to his office
“I don’t like your face…..did you lie to us out there”

“Of course not, why would I….Mel gave birth but”

“Now what’s with the buts….no more bad news please”

“Relax, the worst is not over yet, she hasn’t woken up and I’m positive she’s going to soon but now the baby”
“What about my daughter”
“She needs blood and you know….I couldn’t say this out there, there is only one person now who can save her and that’s you…you need to give your blood and no one is going to find out”

“Anything for my Angel…. she and her mom are my people… how is she, does she look like me”

“Hahaha….that’s nonsense, she’s still too tiny to tell but she’s healthy and beautiful” Tobi smiles

“Can I see her”
“Not now….. she might catch bacterial infection so I’m keeping her safe”

“I trust you Bro”
“I’m so jealous you know”
“Hahahaha you better be….you have to get a good woman in your life too Mac” he says teasingly

“Love is a beautiful feeling let me atest to that”

“Sure….you don’t have to say it twice because I’m not blind…..but guess what” he leans closer

“I think I just found the one”
“Who could she be”
“Not so fast…..don’t be so curious but I shall let you once all this is over”…….

” Thanks for keeping you word Mac, I would have died if Mel had not pulled through, I trust you’re going to make sure she’s made it…………..

The tension has calmed down a bit and it’s getting late, Tobi is not even sure if he wants to go home without seeing Mel but he has to go, he needs to clean up and change and Ofelia assures him that he has nothing to worry about, he has to go bring them something to eat then head home which he does good enough there is a nearby restaurant Jane who has been there all throughout tags along with Tobi who tells her he is going to drop her off somewhere where they can find her a cab and she proceeds to the office

“You have to go lock the offices, we just left everything without leaving anyone in charge….. I won’t be in office tomorrow, you can come early and reschedule all my appointments”

“To which date”
“Until when Mel gets better, I need to be there for her”

“You’re really excited to be a father ”
“So excited Jane….. over excited in fact, I can’t wait to hold my daughter in my arms….do you even know that I have already given her a name”

“Really?….. can I hear it or Mel has to first”
“You’re right about that bad I’m only telling you for all your help all this while and for being my friend…..she’s called Alesi (For love) Miracle”

“Wonderful name…..but why Alesi?”
“Because I’m with Mel for love and not pity or anything….. there are four woman in my life who make me want to be a better man everyday……my mother, Melanie, you Jane… yes you and now my daughter” Jane wasn’t expecting this and she gets teary
“Remember when you dropped in your application, I had no plan to consider you but it came at a time when my PA that time had developed some wings, I was young and no one would listen to a young single boss…. in fact they were all throwing their selves on me…..but four years working with you has been so interesting, I celebrate and pray for you every day, I hope and pray you find a good man who deserves a woman who is more than beautiful” she shades more tears
“If you weren’t driving Tobi, I would ask for a hug…. there is no man out there like you, your love for Melanie has made me realise and had hope that I have a man out there waiting to find me…..you know sometimes I have this crazy thinking that the reason why I haven’t found love is because you keep me in the office for far too long and by the time I come out it’s already late and no man notices me” this really gets to Tobi and he laughs with tears in his eyes

“But you know what….I’m certain what Mel had was no accident” she says and Tobi stops abruptly

“What do you mean…… is there something you know that I don’t know”……..
