Belina - S02 E14 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 14

Richard could not
understand the ploy of his
assistant. She had been
exceptional with her work
ever since she came but he
could not fathom why she
would dress so exposing.
He had noticed it the
previous day and kept quiet
but seeing it repeat itself
today sent a warning signal.
It was as though she was
bent on seducing him or
someone else. He hadn’t
meant to embarrass her the
way he did but he could not
think of a better way to
present it if he wanted a
change. Men are not stones
and if he could control
himself, he could not say
the same about the other
guys in the hospital.

Belina
had disapproved of her
immediately she saw her
for reasons he could not
understand but he knew
that she always trusted her
instincts and her
judgements are often
correct.

His Phone beeped notifying
him that he had a message
and he stopped what he
was doing to check it. He
also wanted to call his wife
to find out how she was
feeling, so in a hurry, he
opened the message but
what he saw gave him a
chill. It was not terribly bad
but he still could not
imagine it. He read the
message and enlarged the
picture attached to it.

The
sender of the message was
not identified but that was
not his problem. He stood
up from his chair
immediately and left his
office.

I lay in the bathtub feeling
slightly better than before.
The warm water made my
nerves settle and I felt good
within few seconds.

Remembering my
encounter with Kelvin, I
scrubbed my body clean
because I didn’t want to
have anything to do with
him. We are Christians, I
remembered him say. And
so what? Was he not a
Christian when he tried to
have his way with me,
knowing fully well that we
were not married yet?

Was
he not a Christian when he
got that harlot to his bed,
thinking he would be able
to persuade me with that
ridiculous act? He must be
out of his mind if he thinks
he can come between me
and my husband.

All these went through my
mind as I rinsed, toweled
and left the bathroom. I
remembered that Richard
always became slightly edgy
whenever Kelvin’s name
came up in a discussion. He
hated what Kelvin did to me
and always emphasized his
desire to punch the daylight
out of his guts for what he
did to me. Thinking of
Richard, I remembered that
I did not tell him I would
leave the hospital early. I
was about reaching for my
phone when it rang. The
number I.D was hidden and
I hesitated. I did not pick up
the first time but the call
was repeated. I picked and
placed the phone on my ear
without speaking.

“Hello” I heard a female
voice say over the receiver.

“Yes? Who am I speaking
with?” I asked
“Please, is this Mrs Belina
Branson?” she asked
instead of answering my
own question.

“Yes. Who is this please?”
“I would like to remain
anonymous ma. I love you
so much and I have read a
lot about you and what you
have been through. Your
story is very touching and
inspring. I know you but
you don’t know me. I
admire your inner and
outer beauty and that is
why I am not happy with
what your husband is
doing ma”.

I was surprised.

“What are
you talking about” I asked
curiously.
“Your husband is cheating
on you ma” I heard her say.
“What?” I yelled.

“You must
have someone else in mind.
I am sure of it” I said
confidently already feeling
irritated.

“No ma’am. He is cheating
on you with the lady
working with him; that lady
with huge buttocks and
breasts. Believe me ma, I
usually see them together
and I even saw them
kissing one day in the
eatery not so far away from
the hospital. I know you
would not believe me but
remember, I warned you”.
“Who are you and who sent
you?” I yelled but the line
was already dead.
