DEATH AFTER LIFE EPISODE NINE

From the writer of *NUDE BED*
An Abhynha Yankey story presents yet another intriguing story:
*DEATH AFTER LIFE*

Episode 9

I picked my car key and rushed home.
Where could she be? I searched every corner of the house but couldn't find her.
I went to the bathhouse and saw spillages of blood through to the balcony.
What could have happened to her? Who has killed my woman? Who? Or has my house finally turned to a forbidden empire? No...that can't be it.

Which animal could have devoured her? Death has no power to lay it's icy hands  on her...or...someone talk to me? Which spirit is hovering around the house? If it is powerful enough, it should take over human nature and face me squarely. Let's do it man to man.
Or was it too late? Or she was in labour? No...no...no...that's not possible. Even if she's pregnant, it should be less than five days. Someone help me with the calculation. Is it possible that way?
................hmmm..........

I picked my phone and called Castive. I had forgotten about her since Efia and I got married, but it's not an issue. She might be of help. She picked as soon as it went through. The background was noisy but I managed to hear her. It wasn't a far place after all, I mean with where she told me to drive to. That was dansoman polyclinic.

The crowd was huge but I pushed them aside till I had the chance to see Castive. She had buried her head in her palm. It seem she had cried for God knows how long. I asked her the whereabout of my wife, perhaps, she's responding to treatment or something. I pray she knows where I could find her.

" she...she...she...", that's all she was saying. Her words were choking her. She's what? Which unit? Someone tell me...where? Where exactly? Why aren't you guys talking? I barked while they all stood there to watch me as if I'm a newly brought goat from the north.

I asked her. She finally pointed at one room, making me understand she was in that room. I wanted to enter but she pulled me back and told me to relax. A doctor was attending to her. I waited impatiently.

Finally, I saw the doctor dash out of the room. I couldn't control myself but get hold of his shirt and land a dirty slap on his face.
I wasn't expecting any question or answer from him.
I left him and walked straight to the room I saw him come out from.

I saw the lifeless body of Efia lying on the bed, with her dimples still in place.

I couldn't hold back my tears. Who has caused me this pain and bitterness? I rushed out to the doctor's office to question him. He must provide answers to whatever question I ask him. Castive followed.

"Mr.man, take it easy. I understand how you feel though I'm not going through what you experiencing", the doctor said.
