Capítulo 36: I want to see again
Samantha slept on the bed with Acer and Gubby on the other side.
" You are a good woman miss Samantha."
" I am?"
" Yes."
" How do you know that Gubby?"
" Because Thanos and Nigel told me, but that man thinks you are no good because you are sleeping with the enemy and he threatened to kill us all. "
" Who is the enemy am sleeping with Gubby?"
" Nigel.."
" Who said that and why is Nigel my enemy?"
" That man Dustie, said Nigel killed his best friend."
This whole time Samantha hadn't taken Gubby seriously. But when he heard that, she got really curious. She knew Nigel was Dustie's friend and she wondered why she never asked Nigel about Dustin, why was she scared to ask him about her brother.
" Why did Nigel kill his best friend?"
" Because...."
Gubby was quiet
"Gubby?"
"Gubby?"
" It's me, honey."
Samantha was motionless. She didn't know how to react. Nigel too was scared. He'd never seen Samantha like that. She didn't seem excited to hear him come to him.
"Honey?"
" I don't know if Acer is ok...he cried a lot and the milk i gave him was a little cold."
Nigel looked at Acer and his blood stained dirty clothes.
" His ok honey...You did great."
" I adamantly gave birth to a child, i have never breast-fed him, made him food or taken care of him. How am I to say am his mother, when I can't do basic things for him? Please help me with my eyes, do something or better yet bring Thanos to help me, his really good. I want to see again...See my son...see you."
Nigel watched as Samantha cried.
" Am not as strong as I seem, I wasn't born blind...but it only took hours to be one."
" Samantha, am here for you."
" You are not always here, don't talk as if you are normal too. I can't always count on you...I can't count on your crazy ass..."
" You don't mean that...you are just upset."
" Am really trying Nigel but it's hard sometimes."
" I'll extend my leave and stay home with you and Acer."
" Do what you want, I don't care anymore."
Nigel went to the bathroom and got a first aid kit, got some water and cleaned Samantha's hands and feet, disinfected them and bandaged them.
Samantha neither protest nor thanked him...
When he went to the kitchen, the whole place was a mess. He understood why Samantha was upset. He understood how desperate she must have felt trying to find food for her son.
Seeing the mess made him feel useless and his heart hurt. He had told her he was always going to be there for her but he couldn't keep the promise.
His phone rung and he saw his father's number on the screen.
" What?"
" Your time is up son."
" So?... Do whatever you want, FATHER!" and he cut the call.
After he cut the call, regret surged. What if Samantha finds out and he loses everything, his wife and his son?
I have to tell Samantha first.
" No, let me do the honours." Dustie said
" No.."
With some other personalities, it was a battle of will power but with Dustin, he came and went as he pleased. Nigel hadn't thought about why it was like that.
A glimmer shone in his eyes and then a smirk.
Nigel was gone in came Dustin. In just less than four hours two personalities had ripped Nigel of his time with his wife and child.
