Episode 2 part 2
"I missed you she said lurring him to join her in bed." Instead of turning her down and head to the hospital to see his wife Joe decided to stay on and spend the whole morning at Jessy's.
He looked at his watch, it was 15 hours." I have to get going" he told Jessy who was still in her small night silk dress.
she poured herself some wine as she folded her legs on the chair by the bar, " and why is that?" she said sternly looking at Joe.
" um uh i have to see my wife at the hospital. I was told she was in Labour and I have to check on her and see how it is going."he explained almost begging.
"Oh so am just to be used uh?" Jessy snapped standing up to face him.
" how many times have you promised me your time and commitment.? Now here you are talking about your stupid pregnant wife." she added angrily.
Joe sat down to reason with her. Telling her how much he loved her and promised to make up time for them, by the time he left her place heading to the hospital it was already 17 hours. he rushed to the ward as directed
by the nurse he met up from the reception.
He was told his wife was discharged an hour before he went there. he felt panick and guilty he had done that to her family. He couldn't even be there to receive his baby boy . slowly he made his way to the Jaguar car he had packed outside. he grabbed his fon and dialed Racheal's line as he joined the main road driving with one hand, The phone rang for the fifth time without her picking, as he drove on he planned the story he would give his wife as an excuse for not being their when she needed him the most. He somehow felt bad he had not lived up to his promises, feeling the urge to change especially for their child..
As the wall fence to his house emmerged, he drove right to the gate, the gate man opened the gate at his first hoot. "how are you boss ?" the gate man greeted him.
" am fine" he answered not really paying any attention to him..
"where is my wife ?" Joe asked as he locked the car. " oh boss am sorry but your wife just left, she came back in a taxi some 40 minutes ago and entered the house with a baby. she later on came out with a big suit case and went out ."
" what? " Joe screamed, "what do you mean she left? how could she just leave without saying anything?"
"And boss", the gate man added " there's more to that". Joe gazed at him still trying to digest the fact of his wife leaving with bags . "what now?" he snapped.
"boss she left the baby" he added in a low voice.
Instead of answering him Joe ran to the house and banged the door open. in his bedroom he found the baby sleeping peacefully and a note besides him.
Joe,
By the time you read this. I would have gone, i cannot take it any more. i married you and trusted you because I loved you with all my heart, but you have sudenly turned Into this person I cannot cope with nor understand. I can't do this anymore. am going to start over. but I cannot do it with this child. I leave him in your care. You will take care of him as he deserves and I hope for his sake you will change for the better. I love him very much, but I can't live with a part of you. I want a complete start over and I hope to find happiness and peace once again.
Good bye.. Rachael..
Joe folded the note as his hands shook, drops of sweat fall off his forehead. "oh my God Rachael how could you?" He sat down holding his child and cried. " what have I done?" he whispered to himself.
