CHAPTER FORTY SIX Melody laid down helplessly on the hospital bed, she was on drip. she stared up at the ceiling, counting how many pieces was used for the roofing. The door opened and Joel walked in with his parents, Melody still laid without moving a muscle. "Hello, Flower, how are you doing today?" Joel asked all smiles walking towards the cupboard beside the small table top fridge, he kept the provision and fruits he bought and walked towards the bed. "Melody my dear, how are you feeling now?" the elderly woman asked. "Do you need anything?" the Husband asked almost immediately. "Who are you people?" Melody asked all of a sudden sending everyone into confusion. "Bambi, what do you mean?" Joel asked trying to hold her hand. "Stop calling me that" Melody flinched, snatching her hand from his grip. "Who am i? how did i get here, Melody? is that my name?" she breathed in and out hastily. "Joel dear, what is she saying?" The elderly woman asked looking from Melody to Joel and then to her husband. "I don't know, Mom" Joel replied crouching to be the same height with Melody. "Sunshine, it is me, Joel. we are dating and we are so much in love with each other, don't you ?" He asked greasing his face in confusion. "I don't know who you are, neither do i been in a relationship with you" Melody replied glaring at Joel. "Nnam, (My Son) i think you should go and meet the doctor, this is getting out of hand" his father suggested. "Okay Dad, i will be right back" Joel answered rushing out immediately. The doctor was on the phone with someone when Joel rushed into his office without knocking. "Oh, am sorry" he muttered. "Let me call you back ASAP, i think i have an emergency now" the doctor said hanging up. "It's a good thing you referred to it as an emergency because it is really an emergency" Joel bellowed, his heart was beating fast and loud like the day he handled their church drum, that was when he was 16. "Okay Captain, what is the problem?" the doctor asked leaning towards the desk. "Agwo no na akirika (There is a snake in a thatched roof). An igbo proverb concurrent to "There is fire on the mountain". "Captain just go ahead and tell me what happened, this one you are speaking Igbo?" the doctor sighed. "It is Melody, she lost her memory. Memories of us and all the time we spent together, all gone" Joel replied weakly, he hadn't bothered to sit down. "Which Melody?" the doctor asked confused. "Oh God, what kind of question is that? how many Melody did i bring to this hospital?" Joel hissed. "One na, and if she is the one you are referring to, that means you have nothing to worry about because i ran every necessary test on her just two days ago, so she didn't lose her memory" he exclaimed hastily almost out of breath. "But she denied knowing or ing who i am, or even who she is, damn, and even my Parents too" Joel bellowed. "Captain, that girl is hurt, she is pained, it's possible she is trying to live in Oblivion of what happened to her, it's better she pretends to forget than keeping it in her mind. Just talk to her and make her the good memories of you guys" the doctor explained with a smile. "Okay then" Joel replied with a frown. He got back to the ward and his parents rushed him with questions, he sighed and slowly muttered "Mom, Dad, you guys should give me some time alone with her, i need to talk deeply with her" he let out a breath. His parents left the room without arguing. He slowly walked towards the bed and crouched down again to be the same height with Melody who stared at the 24 inches plasma television hung on the wall. "Bambi" he called out slowly taking her hand in his "do you the night we spent together in my room? the night we shared our first kiss? the night we slept, cuddled in each other's arms, the night we shared our past with each other, do you ? the night i told you how much i love you"? Melody flinched and slowly removed her hands turning to the other side of the bed, her back turned on Joel. Joel sighed, got up and walked to the other side of the bed and crouched down again. "Sunshine, you are the love of my life, God knows i have no other, I love you, Melody, you redesigned me. you showed me what true love is. You think am not hurting too? you have been here for the past 6 months, i miss you, my Lady, i miss you so much. These past few months have been hell for me, without you" Melody sniffed, the tears poured, she wiped effortlessly. "Joel" she muttered slowly "That bastard raped me, i felt pain, i called out to you, i screamed, i yelled, i warned, i threatened and i pleaded with him but all to no avail" She spoke amidst sobs. "Am feeling guilty Bambi, i have been filled with guilt since all these happened, i feel guilty for not getting to you on time, i feel so guilty for letting that idiot lay his hands on you, Am sorry, i don't have any excuse, please forgive me" Joel cried too hugging her. "My Virginity is gone" she whispered with a sniff. "Shhhhhhh, it's okay, just let it go and focus on the good memories of us" Joel said still hugging her dearly. "Am sorry, i faked Amnesia" she sniffed again. "It's okay Bambi, even if you have Amnesia, i would have still loved you the same" Joel said separating from the hug. "Won't you feel somehow? seeing me will constantly remind you that another man took what i would have given to you. I think you should let me go, Joel, i want to go somewhere far and start up a new life" she wiped her tears. "Go where? Melody, i love you and not your Virginity, yes, i was proud that you were one, but circumstances have changed everything. you think what i feel for you is a joke? I love you with every fiber of my being, you are my Treasure, i want you for life. You are not going anywhere Madam, you are stucked with me" Joel eyed her. "Am sorry" she said hugging him, the tears poured. "I love you Joel, am sorry i suggested leaving" she sniffed. "I won't even let you go, am holding you tight" Joel replied hugging her affectionately. "Where are your parents? I need to apologise to them too" She said as she separated from the hug. "I will call them in right away" Joel said, stood up and left the room. 13 Likes 4 Shares |

CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN Joel happily drove into the compound, Melody was back home. He came down from the car and walked to the other side to open the door for her. darkness had already settled in the sky, he had decided to wait till night before going to pick her up from the hospital. "Welcome home Bambi" He smiled. "Thanks, Soldier boy" Melody chuckled slightly, she turned and waved at the gateman, who in turn waved back at her too. They walked into the house, Joel's parents were already in the sitting room smile plastered on their faces. Melody slowly walked to the elderly woman and hugged her like her life depended on it. "Welcome home, my child" the woman said caressing her back. "Thanks Mom" She replied, shifting to where Joel's father stood, she hugged him briefly before going back to Joel. "Welcome home dear, we missed you" the man said with a sigh. "Thanks Dad" Melody replied all smiles. "Okay, let's go to the room, you need to rest now" Joel said holding Melody on her waist with his right hand and holding her left hand with his other hand. "Okay son" his parents replied. They slowly but steadily climbed the stairs with Melody ing herself with the rail. They got to Joel's room and entered inside, Melody walked straight to the bed and sat down. "Do you need anything, Bambi?" Joel asked, his chest almost bursted open with the way joy filled his heart. "No, soldier boy, am fine" Melody reassured. Joel shrugged and sat down with her on the bed. "I missed you" he said sparing her a glance. "What happened to the bastard?" Melody asked through gritted teeth. "He was killed. I slashed his shaft and electrocuted him to death" Joel replied with a hint of pride in his voice. "Okay" she shrugged. she didn't want to cry. Joel walked towards the television, he brought his phone and connected it to the auxiliary cord plugged into the DVD. "Duduke by Simi" played calmly in the background, He fished a ring out from his tro pocket and knelt on one knee. "What are you doing?" Melody asked. She had been watching him closely. "Bambi, i want to grow old with you, can you give me the privilege of making you happy the rest of your life?. You are my life, without you, i will suffocate to death. Melody, please marry me" he completed. "Oh Joel, i love you too. You truly love me even though i came from the slums, you are my knight in shining armor. yes, i will be your wife" she wiped the tears that already poured. "Yes" Joel jumped and punched his fist in the air. He walked towards her and slipped the ring on her finger sitting beside her on the bed. "I so much love you, Bambi" he said turning to stare fully at her. "I love you too, Captain" Melody replied. "When are we going to see your people?" Joel asked. "I don't have people, just my maternal Aunt who stays far away in Lagos" she shrugged. "No paternal relative?" "They are distant relatives and my marriage doesn't concern them, we will just meet my maternal Aunt and her husband. they have been helpful since my parents died" she replied casually. "Are you a ghost?" Joel asked abruptly. "Yes, am a ghost and i will eat your flesh in the night" she opened her eyes wide and took her eyeballs up trying to look scary. "I wouldn't even mind being in love with a ghost, because this thing i feel for you? is the Zenith" he chuckled. "Werey" she eyed him. "I know what that means ooo, don't think i don't understand your language" Joel bragged. "You understand nothing oga, everyone know what werey means" she cackled. "Look at this one" Joel chuckled. "How is "I love you" said in your language?" she asked. "I won't tell, you will have to pay me" He smirked. "Olodo, didn't you promise to teach me your language?" she eyed him. "Afurum gi na Anya" he replied Swiftly. "What does it mean?" Melody asked still eyeing him. "I love you, that's what it means na" he shrugged. "Wow, i can't wait to learn your language and speak freely with it" she smiled. "I will personally teach you, Bambi, but not for free though" he chuckled again. "Oya how much should i pay you?" "Not monetary payment. I just want you to forget the past and focus on the future" he took her hands and squeezed lightly. "Yes, Captain" she gave him a mock salute and laughed. "I love you so much, you make my life complete" Joel said claiming her lips in a kiss, she kissed him back with so much vigor and carressed his back soothingly. Be patient sweethearts. Just one more chapter and we will be through. Then my new story "Baggage Claim" would commence in earnest. 9 Likes 3 Shares |
