Beep! Beep! Beep! The pitched scream of the white mechanical banshee is the only proof that i am alive! I can hear maybe even twitch a finger or two bt save for these rudimentary life functions i am unable to do much else!
She comes to my bedside everyday! Jezebel i can smell her perfume as it wafts into my nostrils! 'Estee Lauder' i bought it! It cost a whole months salary but she was worth it! The irony of life! I nurtured my murderer. I helped plot my murder!
The only regret i have is that i might be unable to avenge myself! She would probably go scot free. Who would suspect Kanyinsola of something as hideous as this? Who would believe that the mind behind that angelic face would be so devious? We all forget that even angels can have their wicked schemes!
I can see her in my mind's eye! I am sure she is dressed in black, mourning my grievous injury at the hands of the armed robbers! She has always been one for theatrics! But am sure the cut of her curvy black blouse would be extremely low showing her fresh cleavage! I am certain the slit of her outrageously short black skirt would run all the way up her thigh! I am sure she is at this moment in the doctors office genuinely feigning worry and concern over my plight while shamelessly flirting with him! They have probably begun some torrid affair! He is probably 'comforting' her right now on his office table, his medical books, equipment and clothes all scattered in clumsy tangles around the floor! I hope they forget to lock the door!, i hope they get caught!
Who am i kidding? Kanyinsola is a pro! Even if my doctor forgets she would personally lock the door.
How did i get to love this woman? How come even after all she has done my heart still skips a beat when i feel her soft small hands grasp mine? Whoever said there is a thin line between love and hate certainly hasn't lived my life! I can confidently say i both Love and Hate her.
Not alternatively! No at the very same time! With the very same heart! I hate and love Kanyinsola!
I can hear voices, they are getting closer! Its Kanyinsola and the Doctor! I wish i knew how he looks, i hope he is short, fat, ugly and bald! But knowing Kanyinsola he is probably prince charming!
They are way closer now! I can hear their conversation.
'Kanyin are Ɣ☺ΰ sure Ɣ☺ΰ want to pull the plug?' I hear a deep voice ask.
My heart slams against my chest! Pull the plug? Kill me? Damn so this is how it ends!
'Dr Paul, Ɣ☺ΰ know i cannot afford to pay all the bills piling up' her silky voice replies.
'Yes you can' i yell as loudly as i can think! 'What happened to the one million naira in our joint account?' I ask her from my mind!
I feel a warm trickle run down my face as the answer hits me! It is over!
She is sniffling now, her tears can melt an iron bar! Even when Ɣ☺ΰ know they are fake!
I hear clothes rustle, he is holding her!
'Don't worry baby, i would take care of Ɣ☺ΰ!' He rumbles in his deep baritone!
I was right they are having an affair! My blood turns cold! Its funny how i can still be jealous in a situation like this! My only consolation is that in about a year he would be the one lying on the bed! Paying for his sins, paying for his love!
'Have Ɣ☺ΰ filled all the forms?' He asks
'Yes' she stutters!
'Do Ɣ☺ΰ want to say your goodbyes?' He rumbles
She must have nodded as i hear him walk out of the room, after i hear their clothes rustle again and a smack that could have only been a kiss!
The smell of the perfume is getting stronger, she is walking closer, my heart is beating faster!
Then her hands again, in my hands!
'Kola i wish it didn't have to end like this' she whispers into my ear!
' Ɣ☺ΰ might not believe me, but i do love you! More than i ever loved any other man! This is the hardest it has ever been' She says still whispering, her voice caressing my ears! Teasing me, pleasing me!
She does love me! I might die today but i she loves me!
'Paul i am ready' she says as she stands!
I hear the doctor walk back in and walk closer!
The banshee wails louder, probably trying to drown my rising heart beat!
I feel his hands reach past my ear towards the direction of the Beeps! I am scared!
My life flashes before my minds eye! My family, my friends, my boss, my dogs, my church, my love!
My Kanyinsola! There is a freeze frame as her beauty fills my view!
Then i hear a click and then..... nothing!
