Ghost pov
He pressed the door bell again but no response.
" Am sorry. Is someone here?"He said peeping through the hole of the door but couldn't find anyone.
What was that for? He murmured to himself as he quickly turned the door knob and find an empty space.
He frozed immediately with his mouth wide open. He tried quenching up what his mind was suggesting to him as he walked around the whole house but all was as empty as air.
He slumped on the couch with the whole world revolving around him.
He quickly brought out his phone to dial her no but not connecting. He dialed her mum's number but all was dead.
He quivered and blacked out. This was his state for close to three hours when he staggered up as he walked disjointedly to no direction in the living room.
" June, am dead". He slumped again,this time wounding himself on the head.
" Ahh!! Na!! No need for the wound cos the wound I feel right now has nothing to compare what is ahead of me". He soliloquized with a cracked voice .
June's pov
" Are you sure about this?" June's mum asked looking concerned.
" Mum,I really have to do this . I really need to go far away."
" So where will you be going, leaving your dad and I?"
" Mum?" She called, sitting beside her.
" Go ahead cutie"
" Do you actually want me to be fine?".
" Of course. I mean you really looked messed up. This is opposite of you."
" Fine. Now you have to do me this favor by allowing me to go to remote village and stay".
" But we have already left the house your husband bought for us which you said we should leave."
" I know . I have to go away from you people cos I don't want to cos burden on you. Mum,just look at yourself. We are really poor. I thought we would be good cos I thought God used the empire to bless us. I never knew it's a curse. I loved him mum with my whole heart but I didn't know it's going to shatter me".
" I know. Ok,fine. Where do you want to go?"
" I want to go back to school and work at the same time in another environment and get my degree ".
" Come give mum a hug". Mum said allowing her daughter passionately into her arms.
" Lol. Wish me luck mum". Common, don't do that. You know,I have always wished you well in life . My only regret is allowing my daughter to marry one who doesn't love her. "
" Not your fault mu.. I ha..."
" Ooops,I know you will say that. I promise to train you in school, ok ".
" Don't weigh down pumpkin". Dad who had been silent echoed.
Ghost pov
He blacked out. Unfortunately,no one to help him out as he wandered into the dream land.
He sat in his living room,his mind hovering at nothing but his wife. He looked So thin but that was the least of his problem.
The door bell rang. Who could that be ? He questioned himself. He can't remember the last time he had someone press a door bell. He quickly stood up and here stood his wife, glittering like a slivery flowers.
His jaw dropped,his eyes popping out with short of words as they stood for close to a minute.
" Surprised?" June asked quietly as she looked into his eyes.
" Aaam sorry . " He responded with a red eye.
" I will punish you Ghost". She said sternly.
" I gladly accept it kitten but am not going to allow you slip away off my eyes ".
" Can you stop this your " kitten stuff". My name is June". She snapped back at him making him looked surprised.
" What?"
" You heard me".
" Am sorry,am not gonna do that angel." He stubbornly said.
" I said my name is June. And I want to be address me as that for you don't deserve me!!"
" You are hurting me". He quietly said with a pained voice as he drew closer to her making her draw back.
" Are you in or out, Ghost?"
He turned around as he woke up to reality.
" June, please come back to me!!" He quickly ran like a wounded lion back to his car.
He drove to his compound and sighted a lauggage arranged at the compound. His heart panicked .
" My wife is back". He quickly rushed inside. Seeing no one inside,he rushed to the whole house but couldn't find anyone.
He rushed outside with a mean face going straight to that place the laugages were kept.
" Where is she?" He asked his men.
" Am sorry boss. The last time we saw her was last week. She dropped this laugages here and left". One of his men, Wilson whom he has trusted a little responded. He has literally understood what his boss was going through.
Ghost beat his head remembering she left them there. He quietly tried not letting his men see his tears as he tried packing them inside.
" I will get it from here". Wilson responded as he tried collecting those bags.
" You don't do that. That's my wife's bag". His baritones voice shoved him out.
He packed them all inside. Unpacked those bag as he carefully arranged those her wears in the wordrobe. The last clothe left in the bag,he raised it up as he held that so deeply. Imagining what was left of him.

Two months later
It has been two months she left Ghost. It has been a month and three weeks she left her parents house to a remote village selling some fruits.
She kept on feeling sick every now and then. This time,she rushed to the nearby hospital as usual.
" Miss,is it not high time we run a different test. Maybe, we can detect what the problem is?"
" Huh, how doctor. What kind of test?"
" Ok,can I ask you something?" The doctor asked making his heart to ache.
" Ok".
" When was the last time you saw your period?"
