Must Read: BELINA (Tender Beauty)....... - Season 2 - Episode 19

Ronke dropped the phone with smiles all over her face.

It had been fun and interesting, using her semi-
tatafo voice to shake Belina’s trust in her
husband. She was very convinced that things were falling in line. Luck even seemed to smile on them because Belina walked in on Richard and Oyin,
making it look like a confirmation of what she
had heard.

She knew that money would be at her beck and
call if Oyin becomes the apple of Richard’s eyes. She would be able to extort money from Oyinade as much as she liked, but what
if Oyin tried to prove stubborn then? Blackmail
would come in handy then,

she thought. Surely, she would not risk having their secrets out in the open.

Richard entered the room Belina was with tears
clouding his sight. He was almost never moved to tears but now, all he wanted to do was cry tears of joy.

He knew the news came at the wrong time but
uncontrollable joy was the only thing he could feel. His heart was filled with pride
and love.

The one you can only feel when you become
a father. Even though he could not see a child
physically, he could feel the child’s presence.

He could not believe he had skipped
the fact that she might be pregnant.
He could have easily put one and one
together and arrive at this same conclusion.

How could he even assume she was
when they had believed God for the fruit of the
womb for over two years?

He was sure that despite Belina’s anxiety, she never suspected the possibility of her being pregnant.

He sat by his sleeping, marveling at her increasing beauty. They had had a
fight, a misunderstanding; but even her distrust could not stop his heart from beating wildly when she was near. He bent over and kissed her forehead tenderly. She had
mentioned a girl, he remembered. Who was
that? What did she say?

And why was it yesterday?

All these went through his mind within seconds but it was overtaken by his heart felt joy. ‘you are going to be a father’, this went through
his mind again and he wanted to scream. He
placed his palm on Belina’s tommy, feeling his child inside and the tears he tried
to hinder flowed down his face. He wanted to explode.

He had to tell someone.
He left the room in a hurry to make a few calls.

Oyinade went about her duty with smiles of victory on her face. She had successfully created a discord in that house. Now, the only thing she had to do was s£duce him while
putting fire in that house continuously. She spotted doctor Felix, being more lively and happy than usual.

She had heard people gossiping about Richard
and Belina with long worried faces but she had
assumed that it was due to the way and manner at which they both left her
office. She hadn’t noticed
the whole drama where
Richard carried an
unconscious Belina back to
the hospital.

“Doctor?” she called curiously
“Miss Oyin, hope your day is
going on well” doctor felix
faced Oyin.

“Very well” she said,

meaning each word.

“What is going on? You look very
happy today”.

Apart from being an exceptional doctor, Doctor
felix is not one to be trusted with a secret.

Whenever he is happy about something,
he tells as many people as
possible.

“Oh… I am very
happy. Mrs Branson was
brought in by her husband
after she practically fainted”
he paused for emphasis.

This delighted her.

The shock had definitely taken
its toll on her. She knew
though that Doctor Felix
could not be smiling
because of this, so she
pressed on for the full gist.

“Oh my God…” she gasped
feigning shock. “And?”

“After reviving her, I
discovered the obvious. She
is pregnant”

“What” she exclaimed, her blood draining from her face, leaving her as white as
snow.

Richard got to his office to pick up his phone and call his dad, Tony, Prisca,
everyone his mind could
think of; but reason took
over him. His wife had to
know about her pregnancy
before any other person.

Besides, she is pregnant
person. He terribly wanted
to explode, so, he exploded
to God by thanking him and
thanking him until he was
sure God had
acknowledged his
appreciations.

He made for BRP Hospitalto
take everything Belina had
brought to the office. He
would surely not allow her
lift a finger. As soon as she
awakens, his work for the
day would be over because
he would take her home to
take care of her properly
even if she wrestled with
him due to their earlier
fight, he vowed.

Kelvin had been sitting in
the mini reception room
preceding Belina’s office in
BRP Hospitalfor over thirty
minutes. He had been
waiting for Belina but luck
was definitely against him
today. Even though he
hadn’t planned with Oyin
and her accomplice to meet
with Belina today, he felt he
had to rekindle the fire of
the love they had once
shared hastily before it was
too late. Seeing Belina had
erupted emotions he had
tried hard to bury and he
had vowed to claim her
back. He had used his own
hands to destroy the
wonderful love they had
and he intended on
creating it back.

“What the hell are you
doing here?” Richard said
through gritted teeth as he
stared at the last person he
wanted to see.

Kelvin rose upand faced his
adversary.
