" Please can someone help me lift her...please! " Kemisola screamed at the onlookers who stayed faraway for fear of catching the supposed leprosy disease they suspected was afflicting the girl.

Not one person moved.

Kemi lifted Rachel who surprising felt light in her hands...

" This girl must have been starving" Kemi thought

" Let me have her!" Kemi heard a male voice say from behind her.

" Finally!" she thought. As Kemi turned, she almost dropped the girl in her hands as she saw the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. She Suspected he was in his mid 50's . He was too handsome to be human...

" Place her in my hand" the man said

" Ok!" Kemi said but it came out as a whisper.

" My car is over there!" He said

" No, let's use mine... I am taking her to the General Hospital ."

" Ok!" The gentleman followed Kemi to her car. Kemi opened the back door.

"Please go in and help put her in" the stranger said. He was so courteous, Kemi was smitten by him despite what was going on.

Kemi got in the back seat helping Rachel lie on the back seat.

" I will drive behind you!" The stranger said pointing to his posh SUV. Kemi nodded in response.

******
" What is her name?" The Nurse asked

" Rachel..." Kemi answered

The stern looking Nurse raised his brow expecting more from Kemisola, Kemisola in turn returned the raising of the eyebrow.

" Rachel What?" The nurse said

" I don't know...She just came to my house today as a maid and I returned her to the agent..." Kemisola was saying but the moment Kemisola saw the judgemental look on the Nurse, she could tell she wasn't telling the story right.... She was making herself look bad.

" The thing is complicated, just use my surname for her. I have been trying to reach her agent but he is not picking up" Kemisola said

The Nurse still raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner...

" Gregg" Kemisola said in a hurry. She was beginning to understand the pattern at which the Nurse asked his questions.

" Date of birth?"

" May 29, 2000" Kemisola supplied her own date of birth and picked a random year. She was not ready for another round of back and forth...

" Ok"

The Nurses had rushed Rachel into the ER.

Kemisola sat at the Waiting Lobby with the Stranger by her side. They both had not said anything to each other.

" Why would she want to kill herself after leaving your place? It's either you were wicked or extremely nice to her" the stranger said out of the blues

" None of the above... She was brought to my home....." Kemisola narrated all that happened.

" The agent... Can I have his number?" the stranger said

Kemisola gave him his number. She suspected he wanted to call to explain things to him. On the Contrary, he said he wanted to see him as regards getting a maid for himself.

" Your wife is pretty lucky...Most men don't support their wives when they need a maid"

" Yeah..." was all he said

" Hello, good Afternoon Mr Harry. My name is Rogers Odili. I got your number from Mrs ...." the stranger was saying before realizing he didn't know Kemi's name

Kemi mouthed her name...

"Mrs Demisola..." he thought he heard Demisola

Kemi laughed before correcting him.

" Mrs Kemisola..I meant to say. There is a girl with her at the moment, Since she is not interested in having her, I would like to have the girl...So I would like to discuss her fees and other necessary things."

" Excuse me!" Kemi said

Her eyes were popped.

" Like Seriously? Did I tell you I am letting her go, I just told you she had gone and I went back to fetch her, now you are already bargaining with him"

" A poor girl was cutting her wrist in front of you, and the first thing that came to your mind was to return her to where she came from... Speaks volume about who you are!" The Stranger said

" Excuse me...you don't speak to me that way, do you know how many deaths I have seen in my life? I have seen two husbands of mine die right before me and I was not about to watch a random girl kill her self in front of me. " Kemisola snapped at him.

The entire lobby went silent...

" You have lost 2 husbands, I have lost 5 wives but that's not enough justification to push someone who was planning to kill herself out of your house." Rogers said.

Rogers walked out .... Kemisola stood in shock...
Conversations in the Lobby went to an abrupt end as everyone felt the impact of the statement of Losing five wives...

After about 30 seconds of what appeared to be 30 seconds of silence for the dead, side talks started.

Kemi gently took a seat.

" 5 wives? What could have happened ?"
