For about 50secs-1mint there was a total silent like the National Anthem is on going……
And what the hell are you doing here you coward? Blurted UC…..
And you, what are you doing here? Josy asked Ben angrily…..
Both guys were dumbfounded, and started sweating profusely….
Wait a minute, is he the guy that rescued you on that night? UC asked Josy pointing at Ben…..
Yah he was, Josy replied….
Oh I see, birds of the same feathers indeed….said UC
Excuse me UC…. What do you mean by that statement Ben flared up in anger….
I meant exactly what you heard, UC retorted angrily…
What has come over you, you don’t use to be this hostile in the past, I didn’t wrong you in anyway in the past… Ben said trying to justify himself
I never said you wronged me Ben….. But….
Please, what ever the but is just forgive me and my friend, Ben said cutting off UC…..
What did you just said, Forgive who?….. Well as you can see, we were going out before you guys stood as a mountain before us, but we are going to melt you down and walk pas-sthe both of you…. Josy said angrily…..
Let’s go sis, UC added…..
Wait a minute, if I had known that you are this rude and insulting, I would have……. He kept quite…..
You would have done what huh! Mr saver, hero…. We should clap for you now nobi so…… UC charged at Ben angrily…..
Just stop it already, why the transfer of aggression, Ben questioned searchingly…..
Transfer of aggression you said?……
Well I will tell you all about it… Josy cuts in….. But first of all give me 3 mints…. She left back to the house…
**
My daughters, what’s happening, why are you both so much angry at the young men? The older woman questioned UC with surprise at her and Josy’s sudden change of attitude….
After pausing for few secs probably to take back the tears that has circled in her eyes, then she said….
Mama you will not understand, mama these men standing here looking so innocent and harmless are really very wicked and heartless, they are both wolves in sheep’s clothing, chameleon and vipers looking for whom to sting and su-ck….
But UC why are you saying this things, making us to appear as evil people here, Ben said defensively… I just came to….
Just hold it Mr UC halted him, you are evil very evil the both of you? She said firmly pointing at both of them…
**
Emma have not really said anything yet, because he is the culprit, very guilty and short of words…. Ben on the other hand is talking and shouting trying to justify himself and appear as a good guy without knowing that every thing he said on the very first day at the hotel was heard and his intentions are well known……
Shortly Josy arrived with a fancy nylon that was written thank you God bless you….
There was silent and every one wondered what could be inside except UC and Josy…

JOSY’S POV
????????????
What’s in these Ben asked looking very surprised….. Just open it Josy commanded………
Ben opened the nylon and in bewilderment he looked at Josy and then at Emma and said….. I told you that my instinct never tells me lies, she’s the girl from that night
Wow! You still kept this shirt that’s so touching, Ben said drawing nearer to Josy….
Yes I still kept the shirt, all thanks to you for risking your life to rescue me on that night, I really appreciate it a big deal and I will be forever indebted to you, Josy said with a thin Smile on her face that Smile melted the heart of Ben and Ben lost control..
Wow! I’m glad to finally meet you, your are such a pretty damsel…. Ben was still talking when Josy cuts him short with a mean and serious face….. You can now go, I’m done talking to you…
But what did I do wrong, Why the hostility miss? Ben said raising his voice…..
Just don’t raise your voice on me, you helped me no doubt but that does not mean that I will succu-mb to your wicked and lustful desires… Josy yelled at him…..
Still acting innocence….. What do you mean, what are you trying to say, have I have any dealings with you or do you think that every man in this world is a rapist and thugs? Just be sensible… Ben blurted out…..
Oh! What a gentle perfect man you are…… Now listen very careful Mr ,lemme tell you the lay down details of what you said in five stars hotel bar on Wednesday last two months when you came there to drink with this friend of yours that ditched my sister when she needed him most and make her to almost wants to end her life when her family rejected and chased her out of their house when they found out the condition you put her into if not for the grace of God that keeps her alive till today……
Now listen and listen good, if you can vividly remember that I was the one that served you drinks on that very day, and I was attending to a customer when you said all manner of stuff to your friend about me, how you are gonna have your on share on me, mesmerize me and push me out just like a slot….. Josy was highly provoked as she narrates every details of what Ben said that day at the bar….. So many times Ben tried to interrupt and stop her by pleading but she always shout on him to keep his filthy mouth shut which just like magic he always obeys each minute and kept shut…
Josy talked until she was satisfied and then tag UC along for them to leave but Emma held unto UC pleading with her not to go just yet….
Hey Mr! If you ever lay your filthy hands on me again, I will organize thugs to beat the living day light out of you
Coward! UC shouted on Emma who quickly withdraw his hands from UC…..
Please I am very sorry, I have realized my mistake, please UC forgive me, I still love you and will continue to love you no matter the odd… Please… He pleaded and went down on his knees and continue pleading…… Ben joined Emma and went on his knees too pleading for Josy’s forgiveness….
**
They pleaded to the extent that UC can’t bear it anymore….. Tears started pouring down her cheeks and she ran back to the house and Josy followed her
Emma and Ben wants to go after them but both the women stopped them telling them not to go for the time been…..
**
While inside, UC cried like a baby, hugging the pillow and throwing tantrum as she weeps uncontrollable…. Josy who was consoling her at a time joined her friend crying but she doesn’t know what prompted her to cry whether is the pity she felt for her friend or if it is her case with her rescuer that brou-ght tears to her eyes……… ***
