Eclipse Of Damilola.... (continued)

Damilola Reached the hospital, horridly greeted Tonye's mom and rushed beside him.. The drip onHim and the way he looked pale scared her to death..

Dami...

Tonye's mom called her..

Yes Mom : She replied..

" Soo even if my Son decides to live his life without you, (knowing hw men can be indecisive) you will allow him go towards that state of depression until he dies?

I have always believed in the both of you, even if I refuse to be the man in his life and force him to make decisions.. But I told you everything about Tonye's Dad and hw I single handedly raised him and Susan alone,.. Men can be stupid at times but its wise when their women "pretend to be stupid" by playing dumb..

Dami couldn't look at her eyes, tears where rushing down her eyelids she stuttered just to even say a word..

I'm sooo sorry Ma, Tonye made it clear this time that we cannot get married, that he can't continue to hold me down knowing he wouldn't end up wit me out of pity..

And you Never told me? Tonye's Mom asked, with shock and disbelief in her face..

I couldn't Ma, it was as though you geared this relationship. I'm a woman and I have myPride and dignity to uphold..

Then what are you doing here Dami? : She asked? Where is dignity and pride? Why are you her by his side now?

Dami couldn't say.. But Tonye's mom continued and this time she was shouting at her..

Because I still love him.. I love him with myLife Ma.. Her voice shaking and more tears gushing out..

(Tonye's mom, was not the "Mother-in-law from Hell" as she always assumed all mother-in-laws where.)

The first time she met her, 3years ago, was when they both came to Port-harcourt to visit his mom, Tonye made sure He didn't introduce Dami as his "Fiance", he called her a friend.. But as Tonye left for the bathroom, she asked Dami one simple question, "What do you want with mySon", "Do you love him"? Dami was shocked but answered Yes to loving Tonye and Nothing to what she wanted.

Tonye's mom broke all the rules to being a Mother-in-law, she never sided him in his decision making especially with women, always said his jst like his father, "Opinionated, stubborn and strick" they dnt play with emotions, they hide it..

Upon hearing what Dami said, she hugged her.. And asked her to promise never to leave his side..

She spent the night at the hospital, relieving Susan and Tonye's Mom, She made sure she said all the Psalms she knew and prayed all night long.. Jst before she slept, she updated her pm(post massage) onherBlackBerry, "Please Lord Keep Him Alive".

Immediately, she had pings, from the "All girls chat" group, her Girl friends asking what happened,

She explained hw Tonye has been Hospitalized etc..

Before she could complete it,

Rose gave a big "mtchewwwwwwwwww" Abeg make we hear something joor, na make you wan kill yourself? (Let's hear something else please, is that why you want to kill yourself)

I tot that's ship had sailed, water under bridge and you've moved on"

Sandra, jst commented saying "passing by" and lydia made she didn't say a word..

Anita, went to personal chatting and gave her the scolding of her life, why in heaven's name would you bring him into our conversation?

Have you forgotten what happened to you? Did he come to the hospital after he stood you up at your court wedding?

What is wrong with you? You have to move onand away from him, you nearly died the last time he came begging now let Karma do your dirty job..

Nengi didn't say a word, jst smiley face of embarrassed and she left the chat..

Her fone was buzzing with red lights and pings she didn't notice when he moved his hands..

She still was weeping, as she stood up to wash her face she noticed he was trying to wake up..

Nurse.. Nurse She rushed outside to call the one onDuty..

"When you try to hold onto everything, you walk away with nothing."
