My Boss Wife - S01 E11

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 11

As a kid growing up, my dad always picked

me up from school and I always imagined

those memorable days anytime I went picking

up my son from school. Since I lost my

husband, I always made sure I was there for

him at all times but it happened this

afternoon that I was in a meeting with the

Board of Trustees of my husband’s company

and I couldn’t go to pick up Odin from

school. I almost forgot when I sent a text

message to Busayo to help me pick him up.

Thirty minutes later, I received a phone call.

“Hello.” It was just after the meeting with the

members of the Board of Trustees.

“Is this Mrs. Anthonia Raymond?” A manly

voice from the other end spoke up.

“Yes, who am I speaking with?”

“You are speaking with Dr. Henry from St.

Gerald’s Hospital.”

“How may I help you doctor?”

“I’m sorry to inform you that Miss Busayo

was involved in an accident.”

“You mean Busayo, my friend and my only

child?” I yelled over the phone.

“I’m sorry ma’am but your presence is

needed urgently in the hospital.”

“I’ll be there right away.” I ran out of the

office and went to the parking lodge. My

hands were shaking when I entered the car.

To steady myself, I sat back and took a slow,

deep breath. My mind was filled with images

of my son and Busayo. Hope they were not

dead or seriously injured? I was not only

concerned but really worried. All the way to

the hospital, I couldn’t shake the mental

image of my son from my mind. He was all I

had and I didn’t want anything to happen to

him. As soon as I reached the hospital, the

nurses were walking up and down, carrying

files and hardly speaking with anyone.

“Good afternoon.” I greeted a nurse whose

hands touched mine mistakenly.

“Good afternoon ma’am.”

“Please some accident victims were brought

to the hospital.”

“Ooh, are you related to any of them?” My

heart was beating in a fast tempo and I had a

feeling that something bad had happened but

the doctor didn’t want to let me know over

the phone.

“Are they fine?” I quickly asked the nurse.

“We’re doing our best ma’am.” The nurse

said and at that instant, I nearly fell down

before somebody held me from behind. It

was another nurse.

“Um…thank you nurse.”

“You’re welcome ma’am.” The nurse said and

walked away.

“Doctor.” I called the doctor who was

passing but he didn’t stop. “Doctor, doctor.” I

called again and again before he stopped.

“Yes, can I help you?”

“Yes doctor, I am Mrs. Anthonia Raymond,

the one you spoke with on phone.”

“Oh, I remember.” He paused for some

seconds before he added: “Can I see you

immediately in my office please.”

“Are they fine?” I asked but the doctor was

trying to calm me down. “Doctor, is my son

alright?” I shouted and the doctor held my

hand.

“Yes, your son is fine.” He said and my mind

calmed down.

In his office, the doctor wanted to speak to

me when he stammered.

“Doctor, is everything alright?” I asked him,

my mind still perturbed.

“Madame, everything is not alright; we lost

the two other victims.”

“What?” I shouted and started crying.

“You need to be strong ma’am.” The doctor

told me in a calm tune. He led me to the

room where Busayo’s body lay covered. I saw

my friend’s corpse and I couldn’t hold myself.

I stood there speechless and tears fell from

my wet eyes. The doctor looked at me before

he covered the body.

“What about the other victim?” I asked in a

trembling voice.

“Madame, the other victim is in the next

room but the husband to the woman is there

and wouldn’t want to be disturbed now. I

shook my head, my eyes still wet with tears

as I asked the doctor if I could see my son.

“Can I see my son then?”

“That’s no problem ma’am; your son is in the

children’s ward. He sustained a minor injury

and a nurse was helping to dress the wound.”

“Ooh, my son.” My eyes were streaming

tears.

“Mummy I love you.” My son said.

“I love you too honey.” I carried him and

kissed him.

After I had seen my son, the doctor led me to

the room where the other victim lay. I left my

son with one of the nurses and followed the

doctor. As soon as I stepped my feet inside

the room, I froze when I saw the husband of

the deceased. It was Mr. Kayode.
