DAKALO
Waking up next to Pula has got to be the most soothing thing. She's partly laying on top of me with her arm drapped over me so I avoid moving not wanting to wake her up yet. I just want to lay here with her for a bit longer with her on me.
So many things are running on my mind right now, the first being that I need to reach the bottom of Sindi's lies. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that she cooked those tests up. Her entire family has been against the paternity test for a long time now and suddenly she just gives in? Sindi never gives in, she always had to have her way.
I think about how Pula responded to me yesterday. The entire day I was worried that she would tell me that she can't do this with me anymore and I honestly wouldn't have blamed her, I come with a lot of baggage, some I'm yet to tell her about. But she took me by surprise and showed me that she wants to stay and at that moment I felt my love for her intensify even more. I love this woman and I'm going to cherish and protect her.
She starts to stir on my chest and I look at her as she slowly opens her eyes
"Good morning." I whisper from the top of her head.
"Good morning."She responds sleepily.
" how are you feeling? "
" I'm still worn out. "She mumbles and I smile at last night's memories.
" So I can't hit it one more time? "
" No, I'm sore. " she says and I try not to chuckle.
" Okay baby. "
" Are we going to the lab? "
" Yes, infact we should shower and get going. "I say pulling away from her and she gets up too.
As soon as we are in the shower she changes her tune and I have her pinned against the glass door moaning my name loudly, a while later we get cleaned up and we get dressed.
I'm not much of a cook but I make quick breakfast for us and after eating we get on the road. I confirm the lab name and location from the doctor and I drive us there but when we arrive we are met by disappointment and burnt equipment.
"You say this happened when?" I ask the receptionist again.
"Last night."
"It just caught fire? From nowhere?"
"there's an active investigation going on, the cause of the fire hasn't been determined yet."
"And you wouldn't happen to have records of recent tests done?"
"Unfortunately no, everything was destroyed in the fire" She says.
"What about the employees? How many people are responsible for doing paternity tests?" Pula asks her.
"Just one as of late. But he sent his resignation letter this morning."
"So your place burns down and one of your employees quits the next morning and you don't think it might be connected?" I ask her.
"Like I said, It's an open investigation but unfortunately I don't have the answers to whatever questions you might have, sir." I can tell she's getting irritated but unfortunately for her, I'm not done.
"Can I get a name?"
"Huh?"
"The employee's name."
"That's confidential information... I can't disclose such information."
"Listen here-" I start but Pula puts her hand on my shoulder getting me to look at her then she looks at the lady.
