CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
So exhausted was Esther that as soon as she lay down her head she was enfeebled by sleep thus expelling the weariness of the dreary occurrences of the day. However, this was rapidly preceded by an extempore fantasy that extricated her from all the worst nightmares or- a comparison of the sort that she could have heard in recent times.
In a glorious never-neverland of a dwelling incommensurable with the universe, she wallows in everyday day where she traversed in the night. This time she was a beautiful maiden graced with honour and loveliness as she lay on a hammock, attended by a pair of maidservants quite her age, who happened to be fully enjoying the company of their superior as they praised her incredulous uniqueness. She was very lovely; a princess in an angelic mould.
"My princess," said the one on Esther's right with blonde hair tied in a chignon, as she

The conception of the bitter eventualities so uncertain to him that ought to implicate his life and that of his accomplice was what made him shudder. What he stood to lose was so huge that he promptly had to dispel the fears that had just stirred in him and scour his brain for a perfect excuse to shred his intentions for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.In any case, all the odds were stacked against his favour if he didn't act wisely and sooner.With a surety more than an instinct that someone was watching him, he painted his face with a disguised smile and stretched his hand and beckoned whoever was present with him in the room but whom he didn't wish to behold until he had stoked their curiosity and enthusiasm."Come! come, quickly!" He said, wriggling his arm as he whispered, his eyes fixed on the drea

"Mom!" She yelled, growled and winced as a sharp pain shot through her hip. Jina was confused and in a sad state. This was more of self-harm. She had made a rod for her own back; in trying to inflict pain on Esther, she ended up harming her own daughter, who now had to pay a gouging price for her blunders. Tony crawled forward and with an outstretched neck and enlarged eyes lingered at mercy. It appeared as though her entire body writhed and she wouldn't let anyone touch her. "Too sad you have to pay for meddling. You shouldn't have crossed the deadly boundary. That Esther is arsey! How did she manage to escape? Ma'am is right! She is a wizard, eh! Jina will not let this pass." His mind was now a pack of thoughts and he hardly had any idea how to correct this mistake. The

"Dad…" Melissa started and Esther impeded her. She was sure of what she was up to and was also aware that it might make matters worse. "Please, no one should know that it was oil not water." She pleaded with her and noticing her solid determination to expose this truth pursued a little upset,"Let's not intensify the situation, Melissa. Look at everyone,they are all sad and worried. We can deal with it later." She warned her in a low voice."Uh! You want me to keep quiet because you are scared?" Whispered Melissa."Alright go ahead. If anything worse happens you will be blamed for it." She retorted, went and crouched beside Mercy, who now appeared to have gotten acquainted with her pain. They all converged around her, their brains stuck again.Mo

"She's gone completely round the twist," mumbled Esther and then shouted,"Auntie!..." and went after Mrs Wabua."That pest, berk!" Jina muttered beset by the unpleasant occurrences which are definitely her own cause and now felt so annihilated and beset that the animus towards Esther now spills out inside her heart, but she has to be beside herself and bury it up for her benefit even if it sucks.Richard's eyes lagged in the direction that the boastful Mrs Wabua had taken as his mind somehow doubted her capabilities."I marvel at what my dear friend is up to this time," Richard said, his face coarsened by sadness."I no longer trust her. She has changed." Jina noted disdainfully and sulked.

Mrs Wabua did her magic on Mercy with great aplomb; with herbs mixed with the ghee, she had stretched Mercy's bones and tried to assuage the pain. Although there wasn't an immediate visible improvement, she was convinced that within a short time, the latter would be able to get on her feet. Esther's presence had been a great help because her inquisitiveness about the skill had gained her enough knowledge and made Mrs Wabua determine that she would be able to treat Mercy where the need arises in case she didn't come by every day to do it herself."Auntie, we will have to take her to her room," Esther suggested after degreasing Mercy's injured part."Yes, I guess it would be comfortable for her liking, isn't it Mercy? or do you want to spend a night on the floor in this lousy corridor?"Mercy k

Jina fidgets with words as she tries to control her trembling hand without success. She had a strong feeling that Esther had overheard her conversation with Tony minutes ago. "Ah...Esth..ther, has Mercy returned from...I mean, Mrs Wabua…" She stops and gulps, trying to control her anxiety. She was in such a brainstorm that anyone would have noticed her because she was behaving weirdly. "Aunt, you have a fever. You are shivering." Esther reckoned to notice the sudden expression. "Am I?" Jina asked, clasping her hands together behind her back. "Yeah," Jina felt embarrassed and made an excuse that she was so worried about Mercy's condition.

Despite her shrewdness to devise solutions in such circumstances, Jina was so stuck this time that it seemed so impossible to stop the lurking calamity; as if her mind had been attenuated and could hardly put anything together. Much as she was trying with relentless effort to destroy Esther as best she could, the latter was always favoured by luck, and for a moment, bang went the zeal for Jina to fight on, yet she couldn't beat a retreat.She had thought that with Tony, she would easily incapacitate Esther and send her to her grave, but now realised that she was way off base. Instead, Esther was gaining popularity.Richard realised that his wife was letting out a succession of heaves. He had lived with her for long to comprehend that something was wrong with her; this was her usual mannerism especially when she was upset except that now she didn't whine, but st

In the swim of things, neither Jina nor Richard dared to ask about the details of the phone call or the letter. Richard had disguised the caller as one of his employees, Julius, when actually it was Julie. He had supremely managed to talk with her without leaving any trace of suspicion and Jina was satisfied. Julie had informed him that she would make sure to meet him in the same room where they last met, which was the exact room that Jina and Tony were supposed to meet at midnight as the latter had indicated in the letter.Esther prepared dinner earlier than usual because she had to take care of Mercy; her hip needed another stretch with Mrs Wabua's magical concoction of herbs and ghee, bearing in mind that she also had to take care of Mercy's special meals now that she wasn't okay.She was washing the crockery when Jina came into the kitchen, her
