Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 10
The Twin Pregnancy Episode Ten
When Roland returned to Nene's house, he sat in
the living room and demanded to be served
food as if he was the man of the house. Nene
and her mother did not even pay him any
attention. In fact, Nene slept off on a long sofa
in the living room, behaving as if Roland did not
exist.
"I told you to serve me food and you ignored me and slept off? You are so arrogant. That's why I abandoned you after getting you pregnant. I knew you would not make a good wife for me. If I had married you, I would have regretted it. However, weather I marry you or not, these babies are still mine. I'm the father of the quadruplets and I'm returning to Lagos with them." Roland said but Nene did not respond. She was not even hearing him anymore because she was deeply asleep.
"Now, you have turned yourself into a begger, begging the president and his son for money. Why are you disgracing my family? I told you that my family is rich and we have the money to look after the children, yet, you have turned yourself into a national beggar." Roland continued to talk until it downed on him that Nene was not paying him attention, neither was she hearing him.
At that time of the day, Nene's mother had gone to a nearby neighborhood market to buy some condiments so she can come home and cook for Nene. She wanted to cook porridge yam for her. There's this type of porridge yam made for women who just delivered. They drink the water. to help their healing. Nene's mother had brought some ingredients such as 'uda' and 'osrisa' but found out that there was no pepper in the house. She had gone to buy the pepper and other things she needs for the food.
The house was calm and quiet after Roland realized that Nene was asleep and stopped talking. Roland decided to implement the strategies he came with.
Roland stood up from the chair where he was sitting and went to where the babies were sleeping on the large mattress in Nene's bedroom. He looked at the babies with admiration in his eyes. At that moment, he instantly started regretting the fact that he had denied the pregnancy and abandoned Nene.
"What I did was wrong. I was ashamed of what people would say when they hear that I got a woman pregnant while doing my NYSC. I didn't know how to break the news to my parents. I was afraid. That was why I abandoned you people in your mother's womb. But I did not know there were more than one baby in her womb. I was a coward." Roland said to himself. Tears were rolling down from his eyes. He bent down and touched the babies one after the other, enjoying that feeling of fatherhood.
"Now, I have to take you people to Lagos for proper care. There's no way I will return to Lagos without the four of you. You are my children and I have to do what is right. I have to be with you and raise the four of you by myself. "Roland said.
He dashed out of the building and then went out of the compound. He went to the roadside and hailed a taxi. He entered the taxi and he was taken back to Nene's house. The taxi driver waited outside while he entered inside Nene's apartment. Soon, Roland started bringing out the babies one after the other and putting them in the taxi. He went four times.
When he had finished, he brought his bag and joined the children in the taxi.
"Drive to the airport." Roland tells the taxi driver. The car zoomed off.
Soon, Roland was at the airport lounge with the children. He had already bought air tickets in advance for himself and for the babies. The flight was almost ready to take off when he arrived. Before he came to Abuja, he had forged birth certificates for the babies and gave them names. This was what he presented to airport security to prove that he is the father of the babies. He was allowed to board the airplane with the children after he lied that their mother was waiting for them in Lagos. The flight departed Abuja for Lagos.
Roland was very happy that he had accomplished his mission of taking his babies from Nene,
"My parents will be proud of me when I arrive Lagos." Roland said as he looked at the babies beside him.
Nene slept for a long time. He is usually tired and exhausted due to the stress of looking after the children in the night. She is usually unable to sleep in the night because the four children are always crying. She stays awake to look after them, which was why her afternoon sleep used to be long and deep. She did not even know that Roland had taken the babies and ran away.
When Nene's mother returned from the market and did not see the babies, she raised the alarm. Nene woke up and they both looked everywhere in the room but they found none of the babies.
"Roland has taken the babies. He thinks he can reap where he did not sow, but he doesn't know me. He doesn't know the woman she is joking with. He is playing with fire and it will soon burn him. I will show him that I personally cared for those children when he was running away shamelessly. I'm going to track him down and get my babies back." Nene said.
"But do you know his house? Do you know where he lives? How are you going to find him?" Nene's mother asked with tears in her eyes.
"Even if he hides inside a hole, I will dig him out. She doesn't know who he is joking with. I'm Nene!" Nene said. She was not crying and she was not even showing any signs of emotional distress.
"Mama, don't worry, stay here and wait for me. I "Mama, don't worry, stay here and wait for me. I will be back with the babies." Nene said as she picked her bag and dashed out of the house to go after Roland.
