When You Are Alive There is Still a Hope

Chapter 11

************

Alpheos was rooted on the same sport. His mind was miles away. His heart ached so much, he really missed his father. He was asking himself so many questions. He knew he was harsh towards his mother but he couldn't help but to chase her away because she made his wife cry. When he saw the mother of his children cry, his mind went blank. How stupid Merry was, she even tried to stand up for a person who insulted her..It is true that she is kind and a good woman. Alpheos blamed himself for not protecting her enough. While he was on his thoughts, he felt someone hug her on his back. He didn't have to guess who it was because he always smell this perfume on daily basis. He know this scent and soft hands.

"I am sorry Mr me. I am sorry you have to pick up sides. I am sorry that your mom hurt you."

He turned to look at her and they hugged each other.

"It's okay Mrs me. It's not about taking sides..it's about what is right and wrong. Yeah it is true that she is hurting me, it's because whatever that is hurting you..hurts me the most. I am sorry for not protecting you well.

"What are you talking about love? You are the best husband and a good father. You have protected me well. You can't take blame for your mother's actions. She is her own individual."

"I know, but I can't help the guiltless that I feel. I wonder what happened to her or she was like this the whole time, it was me who didn't notice?"

" Maybe yes or maybe not. I think you should pay her a visit since you not working this weekend."

"Why would I do that. That house is not my home anymore. I know she would cause a scene when I try that. She can call even the police as if I am an intruder. I just can't. I can't take it anymore."

"Waaah.....waaaaah....uwaaaah" * baby crying*

"I will check on her. You go and prepare her meal, she must be hungry."

"Okay."

Merry went to a kitchen and made a formulae milk and nestum for a baby. Alphoes was playing with their baby on the couch in a sitting room. The baby was giggling as if she was not the one who cried a moment ago.

" Who is the cute one huh.....who is daddy's litle princess huh...wawawa...

"ha.ha..ha..haa" * the baby was giggling*

Merry stood on the door and watch this beautiful scene. She smiled to herself and couldn't bear to interrupt them. The baby cried again because she noticed her presence.

She came on their side and took her from Alphoes.

"Hello my princess..are you hungry now huh....let's eat"

The baby continued to cry and both her parents didn't know what to do.

Baby let me change her nappy. Maybe its wet.

"I'll do it baby. Just wait for us here."

She took the baby into their bedroom and change her disposal nappy but the baby was still crying.

"Ncoooh come here litle one. Come to daddy." His heart ached.

"Let's eat now my dear."

He fed the baby and she wasn't crying anymore.

Merry was a bit jealous because of this. She even though she was useless as Alpheos's mother said. Alphoes noticed this and said

"Don't even think about it. You are the best wife and a wonderfully mother any family could ever ask for."

It was as if he was reading her mind.

"But I am failing even to stop the baby from crying."

"It was just a small thing and my lucky today. You always with her and you're doing a great job. Don't ever doubt yourself again. Do you hear me."

Merry felt better a litle and noded

"Yes sir".

she showed the sign of a police salute.

"Hahaha..hahaha...hahaha"

even the baby giggled

The family laughed together. They embraced each other. It is true that when you are alive there is hope.

********Mrs Zuh house******

She was pacing up and down looking at the watch on her wrist. She was boiling with anger. When she left her son's house she immediately called her traditional healer.

" Do you miss me already. I am still busy with my clients. I will call you when I am done." Said the traditional healer with a teasing tone.

"Don't you dare hang up on me, I swear I will make you pay." Old Mrs Zuh roared on the phone.

"What make the queen of darkness unhappy today?"

"Come to my house now."

She just said that and hung up the phone. It was after an hour later when the witch arrived. When he entered she couldn't help but vent her anger.

"I have been waiting for you too long. The staff you gave me has no impact..Are you playing games with me?"

"Wooow!? Hold your horses. Didn't I warn you about them. What happened?

" I went there and pretended to apologize as you said but guess what..my son took her side and even chased me away. I want that woman out of our lives for good. Just do something..now!" Old Mrs Zuh was angry, even her face turned red.

" hehe he...hehe he. Who do you think you are.. You can't order me around as if I am one of your slaves. We can't do anything to that woman. She is surrounded by the holy spirit. That woman is untouchable unlike you..who is ruled by darkness." The witch said sarcastically.

"Say that again. I'll cut your tongue."

"You are wicked. How can you do that to your own son."

"He is the one pushing my limits. How dare he choose that useless thing over me."

"Let it go otherwise you won't win this battle."

"Even when I award you with this!. "

She took off her clothes. The witch was tempted and his lower part was ignited. He came to her side immediately and started to touch her boobs.

"Ooh s**t. Mmmh I wonder what magic you using on me..I cant resist you at all you wicked woman." The wicked was aroused.

He pushed her to the couch ruthlessly and she hit a sofa with her head.

"Ouch! It hurts.." cried Old Mrs Zuh but the witch didn't care about her at all. All he wanted was to f**k her now. He took out his big black d*****k and play with it on Mrs thighs. He stripped her cloths ruthlessly. Mrs Zuh was turned on even if this man was rough. She licked her lower lip and open wide her legs. The man got crazy and entered her. He moaned and started pounding her.

He pounded her for almost one hour and thirty minutes. Mrs Zuh was drained. She couldn't even open her eyes. The man dresses and said

" Stay away from trouble. I won't help you any more".

"You can't say that after pounding me so much. You have to chase that woman away." Mrs Zuh said with hoarse voice. Anyone could see that she was grinded.

" I told you it's impossible. Just let it go.

" Why? Are you sleeping with her also. That b*******

" I don't owe you any explanation. I am not like you who doesn't know even when to stop. You can't do anything to them. You already killed your husband and got all his money and assets. What more do you want."

" How dare you say my husband's name. Don't you dare speak about him."

She got enraged and annoyed that her face turned red.

"It's true after all. After so many years of marriage, you killed your husband, you're still alive. Can't you changed into a better person and stop trying to ruin your son's life?"

Even a witch was amazed by this evil woman. He left without saying anything again. Old Mrs Zuh drag her tired body. She had bruises all over her body. She cursed that witch in her heart. She went to a bathroom and wash up.

" That dog is a beast. But he knows how to satify me after all. Unlike that sheep I got married to." She thought to herself.

****Alphoes pov***

Alphoes was fast asleep than usually. He felt so tired as if he worked double shifts.

" Alphoes! Its me..Alpheos! You have grown up my son. I am very proud of you".

" Dad! Is that really you...I missed you. Why did you leave me."

"I didn't leave you even for one second. It's just the body that is not with you anymore." Old Mr Zuh said

" Dad." he sorbed....he couldn't complete what he wanted to say. He was overwhelmed. He got so emotional. He felt tears aching in his eyes.

" Don't cry my boy, I am here to warn you. Your mother is an evil and wicked person I ever met. She slept with the witch and plotted against me so they can have all my money and assets. When I was about to change my will it was already late. They killed me using witchcraft. The postmortem said I had diabetes but it was not true at all.

" What! Dad why you didn't tell me. Who is that witch?I am going to avenge for you Dad."

"There is no need to avenge for me my son. You are not like that. You are the free soul with the heart of gold. I don't want you to change that. They will get what is due to them in time. Now listen to me carefully. Your mother is still seeing that witch. She is still wicked. She is still planning to separate you and your wife. She wanted to use witchcraft on you and your wife so you can return on her side. I thank God for your wife because..she is a praying woman. Your mom's plan didn't succeed. Your wife is a praying woman and she is surrounded by the holly spirit including you and your daughter as her family. Don't ever again open the gate for her. I don't blame you for chasing her. Becareful of her all the time.

Alphoes was shocked, he couldnt believe his ears.

"Was she always like this Dad?"

"Yeah..I loved her with all my heart. I thought she will change when I show her love and affection but she didn't change instead she even plotted against me and killed me.

".............."(he sighed...tears were flowing down his chicks)

"Now listen to me...love your wife and embrace her. As for my grandchild...( the old man couldnt hold his tears) Tears were flowing but he had a smile on his face. "oooh I missed her, but I have left something for her. Contact my lawyer he will know what to do. Do not ever, ever go near that woman. She is toxic. "

When he speak about his wife his face darkened".

" I hear you dad. I miss you everyday. I love you so much."

Alpheos cried

" I love you too my boy..take care...and ooh by the way your wife is pregnant with the baby boy. You should resign at your work in four months time. I will tell you what to do by then." After that he then bent on a baby's cot and kissed the baby on the forehead and turned into his daughter in law and touch her belly and turned to Alphoes and touched his forehead and said good bye and he disappeared.

"Dad!! Dad!!Don't go..daaaaaaaad"

"Alphoes! Alphoes wake up. You had a night mare."

Merry tried to wake him but he continued to shout and called his father.

"Don't leave me again..daaaaad"

"Alphoes you gonna wake the child..are you okay? There is no father here.. Wake up." Merry's heart ached for her husband. She knew he missed his father so much and today he go stimulated.

When he heard Merry calling her he sobered up and wake up eventually. He had breads of sweat on his forehead. He was overwhelmed with emotions. He recalled that he was dreaming. But why it seemed so real.

" Mrs me did I wake you up? I am sorry".

"Yeah but it's okay. What did you dream about?"

"Huh? My dream!? I....I.....I don't remember."

He was reluctant to tell her.

"You don't remember? How come? You have been calling your father non stop. You even cried and beg him not to leave you again. What is it about? You know you can tell me everything right."

" I know my love..it just that it felt so real. I didn't realise I miss him this much."

"Askies my love. It's natural for you to miss him so much. Especially with the drama your mother is always causing. Tell me about your dreams mayb you will feel at easy."

Alphoes began to narrate the dream as it was. Merry was shocked. Her mind went blank for a moment.

*******Mrs Zuh house******

She was tossing and turning on her big and soft bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. Whenever she closed her eyes..she always see her husband. This was very traumatic. She is loosing weight now. Today what happened was very traumatic. Her husband spoke to her for the first after death.

"You will never seize to amaze me Dora. Why are you doing this?" Mr Zuh said with a cold voice.

"Go away Phineas..you are dead..I know you are dead. Go away." Old Mrs Zuh was trembling with fear.

"I am here to warn you. Leave my son alone. Leave his family alone otherwise don't blame for being heartless. I know what you did with that witch." Mr Zuh said with a gloomy face.

"What do you know. Who the hell are you to order me around." Old Mrs Zuh didn't give in.

"I gave you all my love...I dedicated my time to you and what did you do? Huh?" He was shaking even his mouth. Even thought Old Mrs Zuh pretended to be calm but she was frightened, she has never seen her husband this angry.

"I washed and cooked for you but you on the other side you didn't make love to me the way I wanted to. I am a woman who still goes through my periods, my hormones were still working."

She didn't repent to her mistakes instead she is pointing fingers at him...Mr Zuh got enraged and came to bed and pressed her against it. It was until he noticed that she is out of breath..he let go of her.

"Did you ever regret killing me?"

"Yes..mmmh booohoboooohooo"

she was coughing violently and catching breath.

"You are the lier and cheater and a murderer. I will not kill you today but I'll give an advice. Go and transfer all my assets to my son's name..and stay away from him. If you ever try your dirty tricks on him or his wife or my grandchild....you will regret and cursed the day you were born. Just do the right thing okay."

Old Mrs Zuh opened her eyes and mouth widely. Her body was trembling uncontrollable. Her mind went blank, she couldn't process what she heard.
