The Betrayal

Part 4

Few days had passed since I hooked up Chris with Doctor Mboyeni. Everyday at 4 pm they'd meet at Doc's place. I joined them everyday just to make sure that Chris was doing well. That day I was about twenty minutes late but what mattered is that I got there.
"Hi guys, sorry for being late"
"It doesn't matter Doc, by the way I'm the important one in this not you"
"Chris..." I pulled a chair and watched Doctor Mboyeni pulling his legs.
"Sindi is doing a good job here...you know, you don't always have to come and check up on me. You have your own life to live"
"Ohh...Sindi?" He called her Sindi and called me Doc...I was not happy about that. I knew him before her!
"Chris is doing just fine Doc, there's no need to be here always. You are also making it difficult for me to do my job. Like your are always watching me like a monitor or something, it's really uncomfortable. I really don't mean to be rude..."
I gazed at Chris hoping he would say something then back to Doctor Mboyeni.
"Well, I didn't know you felt that way..." I stood up then took my bag
" I just thought that Chris would like some company, especially because he just knew you." I continued.
"Thanks for hooking me up with Sindi, if there's anything I need from, I'll shout."
"I don't think you'll need anything from me Mr Rogers. Good night "
At that moment,I remembered that I had to be formal with my patients. Well, I thought Chris and I would be friends, his case really touched me and I just wanted to be there and support him but some people don't actually need support. I had to enjoy my leave and stop thinking about patients. I got Into my engine and drove off.
When I got to my place, first thing that was in my mind was getting a hot bubble bath, I went to my bed room, put my phone and bag on the bed then went to open the water to fill the bath tub.
Shortly, I was in a bath tub filled with so much foam and planned to be in the for as long as I could. While relaxing, my phone rang...dang! It was a private number, probably work...
"Doctor Simela hello" I answered
"Doctor?" The guy sounded as if he was lost " So you're now a doctor?"
"Who's this?" I asked
"So you have forgotten me Chloe baby? I'm glad you haven't moved on since us." It was my worst nightmare, he was out...I didn't know how, I was scared and deeply breathed.
"Marcus...where did you get my number?"
"Don't be scared baby...I got out. I'm on parole so I won't do anything stupid." I had recovered from the trauma that Marcus caused in my life when we were in university...it had been 6 years since I last saw him, the day he beat me up like a dog and left me in my room at the res crawling, swimming in a pool of blood... hoping that someone would help me! Yeah! I recalled all that.
"Marcus if you call me again, I swear I'll tell the cops...Stay away from me!"
I hung up then I cried all my tears out. I was scared that he would come back and kill me. I called Thandeka and asked her to come over because I knew I was not safe...my friend never disappointed me, she came and stayed the entire night at my place.
