Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 68

“Just like you have put it out Tobi, it was an accident and accidents just happen, I stripped and fell maybe it was my shoe sole”
“I don’t think so but what’s important is that you’re fine and our baby too is fine…… I will talk to Mac and ask when you’re going to be discharged from here…. I need to look after you personally”….Mel tries to turn on her own but the pain makes her effort futile, and Tobi helps

” Melanie…… I know this isn’t the right time or place to talk about this…..you’re sick and so unable to talk but I just want you to know that I’m aware you heard everything my mother said out there but I’m not Happy with the way you’re trying to act upon that now….. we should be thanking God and celebrating this miracles not like this…. get rid of that face and let me handle my mother…… all I need from you is to not give up on us…..don’t you ever” he looks so sincere but as he said those words, she remembers Ron, a tear escapes and Tobi didn’t waste anytime but cleans it…..she looks at him and in her eyes he looks like Ron, she remembers how he got so furious with his mum when she could not allow them to date, how he defended her, how he made her believe real men still existed out there but only for him to hurt her Even more than he would have had he listened to his mother before it was too late…………Tobi is becoming so scared because Mel is just starring at him with tears but saying nothing

“Babe…. are you here” he shakes her up and she gets to her senses
“Tobi….don’t promise what you can not fulfil….. she’s your mother and she has done so much for you….. I beg of you, I can even get out of here now and go back home……I can take well care of my daughter from there”
“Our daughter Mel…. our daughter don’t forget that…she’s still so fragile and you can’t take such risks with her unless you want her dead ”

“Tobi…..I can never be hurt by anyone when he or she abuses me of my poverty…… why should I be hurt when it’s the truth, that’s who and how Melanie is and it can never hurt me…..it’s my identity” now it’s time for Tobi to shade his own tears
“I shall not refuse your help here because I’m sure I can’t even afford this hospital….. you have been nothing but my guardian Angel….. go, go see our little Angel” at least this statement is consoling
“I named her Alesi Miracle…. our miracle Mel” he can’t hug her right now but she’s so excited for the name and all they do is hold hands and he brushed them on her face

“Why Alesi of all names….I had not even thought of a name for her, remember we had no idea about the gender, we didn’t want to know till when she come out ”
“I’m with you Melanie just because of love and nothing else….. we were given an opportunity to decide If we wanted to have this baby or not…..remember it was not and easy decision but finally we did, it was all for love…. all because of love that we chose to keep her…she’s our miracle” Mel has even forgotten about hearing the ugly conversation between Tobi and his mother and she’s so happy, she holds onto his hands tightly……………
It’s coming to eleven am when Jane checks her watch and realises she needed to go to the hospital to see how Mel was doing with the baby, she collects her things and locks properly the office and gets moving, she walks past almost all the offices with everyone looking at her with anticipation that she might say something but she continues to walk till when she gets to the reception, she was even on her way out already and ignoring Janet but Janet calls out to her and she stops form walking out

“I had no idea you were in here, I could swear you were not in here for real”
“Did you look for me Janet… did you or is there any problem…wanted something”
“No no no not at all thought you didn’t come to work since I didn’t see you come in” Jane wants to walk out but something tells her to come back, she stops, turns andshe starts walking towards her until when she got closer to Janet who is not only shocked but looks sick, the glass is still there and she spots it, she takes it in her hand and water spill down, she looks yo to meet her eyes

“I know you had a hand in Mel’s terrible accident Janet….. I know you did something”
“Excuse me….what are you saying Jane,….this is harassment”
“Oh yeah.! are you ready to report this ….well Mel told me everything and once she’s fine all of us are going to sit down and and see what happens….so if you know what’s good for you, you should start talking now”…..
