BEHIND THE SMILE by Amah Heart

Episode 11.
By AMAH’S HEART.

She stared at him with a smile, looking from his well shaped full eye brow, his lovely eyes, his cute button nose then down to his lips.
She continued staring as the lips kept moving, it appears tick yet kissable.

If only he could just kiss and hold her in his strong arms, she will wrap her hands around him tight and bury herself in his warmth.

How she wish he was all hers and hers alone, she will look upon his face each morning with satisfaction and worship him like an idol.

Sitting opposite him and looking into his face closely gives her so much joy. he was more than handsome to her.
His dress sense was killing, his smile was everything and every of his actions speak volume to her dry soul. It refreshes her greatly like a patched and tasty soul refreshed that stinks from a cool spring water.

Why is he married to that woman? Dorcas, who does not even appreciate his masterpiece like she do.
A woman that can’t love and adore him and won’t allow others to do so.

Wicked Dorcas, she does not know what she has. Maybe when Benny becomes her man Dorcas will then realize but it will be already late for her.

She wish Dorcas can just disappear, die or leave the marriage so that she can step in.
Finally she has succeeded to get him close and soon enough he will be closer.

Why haven’t Dorcas called him yet to curse and whine like a nagging wife.
The whole pictures and videos delivered, she was supposed to start calling or texting him.
What is she waiting for.
Once she leaves here she will check again to make sure there was no mistake.

Dorcas probably drank poison and died after seeing the video and pictures of her husband making our with another woman.

This whole thing shouldn’t take long again for Benny to be fully hers.
His eyes will open and he will come to realize how much he has been missing.

Bianca swallowed hard as she continued drooling over Benny who kept talking oblivious to whatever Bianca was thinking.

“Are you listening at all Bianca, you’re here but you appear to be in distance thought. You’re smiling and watching me but is as if you aren’t here. You asked me to tell you about God… which was one of your conditions, I’m doing exact that but you appear not to be listening to any of the things i have been saying…”

Bianca wipe an invisible tears and said
“I’m actually listening, I just thought of my late father. He was kind, caring and loving just like you. But death took him when I needed him most. He used to be the one teaching me everything about God just as you’re doing right now. I was his little girl and he was everything to me. Listening to you now reminds me of him. oh death, I wis… wish he had fought harder to stay alive just for me. I really wanted to make him proud and I’m still going do that. Is just that…I miss him so much. It hurts deeply now that I think of it. Everyday seems like a struggle without my Dad. It feels so sad…”

She sniffles, wiping off invisible tears from her eyes again. Hoping that Benny will walk over to hold her in his arms while she sobs

“Oh.. I’m sorry Bianca. Never knew all this. Maybe we should talk some other time when you’re stable. if it reminds you so much bout your late Dad then is better we postponed today’s discussion. Don’t cry, since your Dad was a believer he’s in a better place now glorifying God with the angels. Since today’s meeting is postponed I will have to go home to my wife. I wasn’t even meant to come out today… I’m supposed to stay home with her but I can’t disappoint not after all you helped me in achieving. Although we aren’t done yet with the blackmailer, I will really love to know the person behind the keypad. The man behind all of this, i must find out. I’m sorry Bianca…is time to leave…”.

Bianca fumes angrily while still wearing her pretentious smile.
She can’t believe that in a moment like this, with a calm atmosphere for lovers Benny will still mentioned his wife.
He brings in his wife to every of their conversation.
She wish to strangle that woman and uproot that baby forming in her womb.

Benny stood with his bag.
Bianca started regretting why she even brought in her father’s issue.
Her intention was for him to come close and she will inhale in his fragrance and held tight in his warm like her life depends on it and probably share their first time kiss but here he was wanting to run back home to his tacky wife.

“Okay sir..”
She managed to say while acting all lonely and sad.

Benny asked if she can drive or she will want him to drop her and when she is stable she will come back for her car.

Bianca agreed. She can’t miss staying close to him and watching him like he was some idol.
Every moment with him count.

She left her car and joined Prof Benny in his own

She asked Benny to please go and drop her at her gate and he agreed.

He dropped her and Bianca invited him inside but he declined.
Waved her goodbye and zoomed off while Bianca fumes so angrily.

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

Benny got home and wondered why everywhere was quiet. He called out to his wife announcing that he was back just as her used to do.
But no reply came.
He saw the house keeper and asked of his wife, the woman told her that she has been in the room since he left and had refused to come out.

Benny rushed upstairs where their room was located.
He opened the door and saw Dorcas sitting on the ground motionless with tears stricken face.

He rushed to her.

“Honey… honey.. please talk to me what happened? Why are you crying…?

“Why…why Benny. let me guess, she is young, beautiful and classy right? I can’t understand why you will do this to me. I…I… can’t possibly fathom out why on earth you if all people will do this….”

Dorcas screamed as she threw her and phone to the wall but nothing happened to it.

“What are you talking about… honey, please talk to me…I don’t understand anything..!”

Dorcas stood and started acting all crazy as she kept throwing things around the room

“How many times have you slept with her? How many times Benny. How could you do this… why… why. I knew it, I just knew that something was fishy about you. When you start sneaking outside to make call and always with that your phone like your life depends on it. It was weird and I sensed something was wrong. Aaarrrrhhhh Benny, I trusted you. Why…?

She started hitting and kicking him angrily.
Benny tries to hold her while assuring her that he didn’t do anything

Dorcas picked up her phone and showed him pictures of him with another woman.

“I can actually explain that honey, issss… is not what you think. None of this is true… please believe me. I didn’t do any of this. Is photoshopped Please, calm down you’re going to hurt yourself and the baby. Please calm down for the sake of the baby… let me explain. This is exactly what I was afraid off that made me not to tell you initially…”

Dorcas cut in ” you initially wanted to tell me what… that you love her? She is a better woman than I am? Did you even consider the baby before doing all of this? How long has this been going on? Answer me, don’t make me think that I’m crazy. How long Benny…?

Dorcas screamed again as she threw another thing to the wall and it smashed.

Benny try to hold her but she kept getting violent and refused to listen to any of Benny’s explanation.

Benny who was concerned about her and the baby kept pleading for her to calm down.
She ran out of the room, Benny ran after her.
She stumbled on the stairs and fell so hard with her side.

Benny quickly grabbed from the ground after she tripped.

She was screaming on top of her voice. Exhausted yet she refused to stop shouting and throwing off everything she set her eyes on.

She suddenly noticed something like liquid running down her legs.
She touched and checked it was blood.

Her scream doubled up as Benny lifted her up to his arm, with heart panting he rushed to the car.

Praying fervently, pleading none stop that God will spare their baby’s life.

Nothing should happen to the baby was all Benny kept praying as he rushed his wife to the hospital.
