Kapitel 22: Can you be my girlfriend for real?
Clara Miller ran down stairs to catch up with Nigel. He was in the drive way... When he saw his mother run to him bare footed, he felt sorry. She was somehow a victim of his father's ploy too.
" Nigel baby._ his mother called out to him.
He looked at her not saying anything.
" Why didn't you tell mum?"
Her eyes where filled with tears.
" Tell you what? That you didn't see anything wrong with your husband taking your very sick son and his friend out to fish? That you let your husband steal his son's friend's heart? Mrs Clara, you are as guilty as me and him...We murdered Dustin.
" You father told me, he was too sick to make it "
" I was sicker than he was. He had more chances of living than I did." he shouted.
" Am sorry Nigel..." Clara cried.
" We are beyond the time when sorry would have made sense."
" What am I going to do Mum? I have fallen in love with Samantha, but how do I tell her, her brother is dead and I have his heart inside me? that my father killed him. Mom... Please tell me how to deal with this, I don't deserve to live but why do I want to live now more than ever? I have become selfish mom, not only do I have his heart but am in love with the girl he loved for years. For years he kept it to himself but he was kidnapped the day that would have meant a lot to him. Mom I don't know what to do when I see Samantha. Everytime am reminded of the things I got from her, her brother, her mothe...."
" Shhhhhhh, Clara cut him short."
" She won't know if you don't tell her."
" Am not a normal person, If I was I would have tried to keep it till my death but am not, one of my personality will eventually say something to her, can't I be happy? Why do I have both of you for parents? What did I do wrong?"
" You did everything wrong." Dustin's voice told him.
" You need me." Thanos' voice said.
" Noooo..."Nigel screamed scaring Clara who took two steps backwards, crying her eyes out. She had seen this scene before, it always breaks her heard to a million pieces.
" There, there, I'll make it go away...let me deal with it for you he heard Dustin's voice. " Am you cleaner, I flush your shit for you."
" No, I need to buy plums for Samantha." was what came to his mind.
" Don't ever mention Samantha's name again, you are not worthy, you fu*king bastard" Thanos'voice strong and commanding.
" Samantha, Samantha, Samantha." He really felt a calmness that enveloped him with just calling Samantha in his head.
The voices seized as he continued to chant her name...Like a secret word, he was back to his parents' drive way.
" Are you ok?" Clara asked him.
" When have I ever been ok?" I'll never be ok, because my parents love me so much, they condemned me to a life in hell with just me and my other selves.
He said getting into his car and drove off.
Clara was left in the drive way, when she was going back inside, she looked at the balcony, Lean Miller was there, he had watched and listened in on the whole scene.
" No matter what it takes, I'll get what I want."
*******
With all his neurosurgical procedure cancelled by Thanos, Dr Nigel had atleast three days before he resumed work. It's always been like this.
When he was himself, he cancelled the Aphthalmology procedures, When it was Thanos, he cancelled the neurological procedures. People called him a genius who thrived in two major medical fields, But he didn't know why he failed to do any Aphthalmology procedures when he was the core personality.
Dr Nigel went to the supermarket and bought Samantha some Plums, a variety of apples and bananas.
When he got to Samantha's, Samantha was outside with Marcus, she sat on the garden chairs under a granadilla leafy shade behind the house.
She was laughing so hard that he knew she was outside before he saw her. She looked like a different person. She wore a black sweat pants with a grey T- shirt and had the puppy Thanos had bought for her on her laps.
When He saw her with Marcus, he was surged with jealous, the feeling he has never felt before.
" Tell me what's funny, so that I can also join in the laughing."
When Samantha heard his voice, she stopped laughing and tightly held her puppy.
The sudden awkwardness told Marcus, there was something between Samantha and Dr Nigel. His expression changed even though he has known that miss Samantha would never look at him like a man she can date, seeing her with this man broke his heart.
" It's nothing, Dr Nigel..."
"You are back?" Samantha asked him
" I said, I was going to...I bought your plums."
" Oh, thanks." Samantha had even forgotten about asking him to buy some this morning.
Dr Nigel looked at how Marcus and Samantha where comfortable with each other...
" I already have Thanos to compete with, this guy too?" He thought looking at Marcus.
Like Marcus could read his mind, he stood up from the chair.
" I'll go check on Lisa...If you need me to take you back inside, just call me."Marcus told Samantha, his voice coated with affection that didn't go unnoticed by Nigel.
" Ok Marcus, you can take the fruits to her."
" Don't worry Marcus, I'll take her back inside.
Marcus looked at Nigel and nodded.
When he was gone, Samantha said
" I want to ask you for a favour."
" Yeah? Well am here."
" Please don't do what you did this morning?"
" What exactly Samantha?"
" Don't ever take my clothes off of me? am not a child."
" Oh, Ok...I won't ever without your permission."
" Samantha, can you be my girlfriend, for real? We are already having a child, I think a relationship isn't that bad an idea.
