Thank goodness, you have being out for five days now, I was beginning to get scared that you would slip into a coma and I have being hoping and praying you don’t, because the doctors said If you slip into a coma with your unsteady heart beat and feeble body, you might not make it out alive, oh grand ma you voice actually pulled me from a wonderful dream I thought I was in the after world, because everything looked so beautiful and real. Tell me about it grandma replied sharply I saw a young beautiful lady waking beside to be my wife and we were heading to the get married, we had our notary certificate in our hands. it was so glorious, the weeding vibe, the lights, the glow and the atmosphere, oh grand ma, the girl was very pretty, beautiful and well spoken she seemed educated, her skin glowed like the sun and her smile so radiant and powerful it could melt the strongest of hearts in a jiffy, but one striking thing is that she looked familiar, I was trying to get to picture her face properly but just as I was trying to unveil my bride you called and now here I am ,why have you done this to me grandma its unfair, now I would never get to know the beautiful damsels face who finally agreed to marry me. Where do I start he search from and how do I go about it.
Did I hear you say you were getting married? Thank goodness finally my wish would come to pass, grandma I said in a dream, did you hear me when I said it was a dream. Which young sexy beautiful young lady that’s educated and well schooled would want to spend the rest of her life in a miserable marriage to a crippled man like me? Don’t say that son when the time is right you would find one. Oh please grandma that time would never come, trust me please just let me be.
Sir, I’m glad you’re awake I have being going from place to place praying my master does not die so that I can go on my annual all expense paid leave in a month’s time. I smirked at him as we all laughed lightly. The doctors said you would be here for some days so you could recover fully, that’s a ploy you and grandma has made to keep me from working and being on my feet. Yes speaking of feet sir your results came out and it showed you have a 65 percent chance of walking again if you give that physio thing a chance, please spear me the Bull sh*t that was not the report I was given the last time I was here they said that I might not be able to walk again, so where’s all this coming from? No sir some nights ago in your sleep or coma you were struggling and shouting a name as if in a manner that you were chasing after her while this was going on your legs were moving like normal. Wait what? That’s good news but whose name was I screaming I think it should be the name of the girl in my dream just now. Tell me what’s the name so you could start the search for her immediately, sir I’m not sure you want to get all excited right now you need to slow down because I’m not sure you would want to hear this name, get to it you f**l. ok then its Phil, Miss Phil Bruce. That’s the name you were screaming, no that can’t be, it can’t be, you’re playing a fast one on me right, I would get you fired Immediately, no sir it’s the truth grandma was here when it all happened, I looked at her, how long have you being beside my bed grandma, 5days son, 5 good days and your assistant is saying the truth. Phil Bruce how? Wait have you found her yet? Where is she I need to speak with her and apologize to her. Please hold on sir, we have not found her yet, she’s still missing, and the police suspects it was a kidnapping as the security footage just outside the Bruce mansion manage to pick up blur images of her being whisked away in a van with no registration plates. The police are doing all they can to find her we just have to be hopeful sir. I am cursed I said t grandma I am cursed and I am going to die along, don’t say that son I would why is it that it’s at that time I wanted to give into the thought of treating her well that she disappears. That’s it. We have spent our fair share of luck and it was just kidnapped. When can I leave here, I need to be alone, in fact I want to leave her now there’s no reason trying to save a life that’s ill fated and destined to die a lonely and miserable death. I would get the doctors to prep your discharge if you agree to go home with me for the next two weeks; you stay over at the villa. Fine grandma I would agree to anything right now, just get me out of here as she waved giving permission to my assistant.
Meanwhile Mrs. Bruce is making headlines. My precious daughter is missing and it’s as a result of the pressure and threat from that horrible Mr. Jeff who threatened our family to a forceful marriage hence our daughter ran away from home, from the last security footage we saw from our security cameras she was forcefully taken away by some unidentified men in a van that looks like the Jefferson’s utility vehicle Mrs. Bruce narrated to the press, cooking up a story because I had refused to give them the money they demanded for previously.
Please make that horrible monster pay for all that he has done to my family, for keeping us as slaves in his company and also trying to force our daughter into a marriage with him because he obviously would not have anybody agree to marry a mean cripple like him , just imagine how he oppressed her and put her in jail for the wrong he did to her , his driver ran her over and he still put her in jail because she refused to marry him, please invite him, tell him to bring back our daughter else we would go legal. She went further in her pretense just to get attention
Sir you need to come see his, Mrs. Bruce is on a live broadcast trying to make you the culprit in her daughters missing case. I’m not interested in whatever that family has to say or do; what did they do this time ? Sir she’s doing the live stream right now, should we make them disappear? No that would only give room to more suspicion and media leverage into my personal life and space which I am in no mood for lights, camera, questions and the whole lot, let’s keep our cool and allow them do their thing whilst you get our best men to finding Miss Phil so we could clear this whole fuss off in no time. Lets head over to the villa grandma is already waiting, I need some solitude and calm away from work and this drama. I think I have a better idea please book a flight to the Bahamas for me I need to take a break from the ruse. Sir I don’t think that would be a good idea for now wouldn’t it seem as though you’re running away and wouldn’t that bring more suspicion. I guess I’m free to leave the country at will when I like and how I like. Ok sir I would get to it, how long would you want to stay for two weeks or a month? I think a month would be better it would give time for all this to die down before my return
