Chapter 8: chapter 8
ANATHI ZULU
Nurse:I didn't think you were the type to abuse your wife , I wonder what your fans will think about that
Me:What the hell are you talking about
Nurse:I can already picture it being on the front page of all newspapers , a wolf hidden in expensive suits
Me:You could get arrested for this
She laughed.
Nurse:I don't care about losing this shitty job or getting arrested , I will expose you nonetheless
Me:How much
Nurse:Huh? Ms Zulu are you trying to buy my silence?
Me:We both know this isn't about reveling the truth , what do you want? Money?
Nurse:I had something else in mind Ms Zulu
She fixed her cleavage and stood next to me suffocating me with her cheap perfume.She licked her lips while her hands was brushing up my arm.
Me:No thanks , I don't sleep with trash
She gasped and got teary eyed.
Nurse:I could end you like this you know...I promise after spending one night with you I'll keep my mouth shut , so what will it be?
Me:You can go ahead and talk to any lousy journalist that will be able to make time for your rubbish.If you'll excuse me I have somewhere to be at
She shifted and I went out and headed to the cafeteria and drank the coffee from there to stay awake.I went back to the ward and some of the nurses when I passed by gave me this disgusted look.
Rumors travelled that fast?
I went back to the ward and Eddy was waiting for me outside with a brown envelope.He handed it to me and I skimmed through it only reading the relevant information.He wasn't a saint at all.He much did some fucked up stuff to get the wealth he had and got away with a lot of things that would get him locked for a very long time.
Me:Where is he now?
Eddy:He is police custody.His bail hearing hasn't been set yet
Me:Who is the officer handling the case?
Eddy:Its a new recruit by the name of Detective Jali
Me:She's a hard cookie to crack
Eddy:Never mind the fact that she has been out to get you for about 2 years now
ANATHI ZULU
Eddy:Us getting involved in this case will get us unnecessary attention don't forget that you're next in line to sit in your father's chair
Me:I know that but I can't ignore that the bastard wanted to hurt Bianca or do you expect me to do that?
Eddy:No boss that's not what I meant
Me:Then find a way to get him out of police custody without raising any unwanted attention on yourself maybe then I might forgive you for your stupid mistake
Eddy:Yes boss
He bowed down and left.I got inside her ward and she was still sleeping.A doctor was examining her.I read his name tag and it was Dr Hlophe.He wrote some things on the file.
Dr Hlophe:You must be her wife , Ms Zulu I would say it is nice to know you but given the rumours hat I have heard about you I wouldn't say I am glad at all
Me:Didn't think you were the type to listen to rumours
Dr Hlophe:Didn't think you were the type to raise your hand on a helpless women but here we are , aren't we?
Me:How is she?
Dr Hlophe:She will be okay , we are still waiting for her to respond to the medication and her swelling will eventually come down
Me:And she'll wake up?
Dr Hlophe:Yes ma'am, but the unfortunate part is that she'll be not going with you
Me:Why is that?
Dr Hlophe:I have already informed the authorities and they will be here first thing in the morning
Me:In the meantime can I have some privacy with my wife?
He took the file and went out.I sat down and held her hand.
Me:You have to wake up Ms Dlamini , you still owe me that coffee date and I didn't forget easily
I kissed her hand and watched her sleeping hearing the sounds of the heart monitor.
I woke up when I felt a hand brushing my head.A whole different kind of peace descended on my shoulders and I became calm.The place I was in was completely white with music playing in the background.We were sitting on the bench.She stopped brushing my head and made me look at her , she was beautiful as the last time I saw her.
