EPISODE 9 💚🌹❣️
As i angrily left the police building, i ran into stella at the entrance . She smiled as soon as she saw me and st©pped, “HI friend good morning!” she greeted. I felt like ignoring her, but my anger overc@m£ me. I st©pped and stared at her furiously. “What’s good about the morning?” I asked angrily, “Oh a lot dear, today’s Sunday don’t you know?, Oh how would you remember since you spent your night in a good h0tel huh” she replied with a smile. “Whatever you are planning, just know that bad things doesn’t last, you will be judged for your actions, better know that” i preached and made to leave, but she strongly held my right hand, which surprised and st©pped me. “Where is your child p—–t? You want to fight me again huh?” I asked with burning eyes. She scoffed and shrugged. “Come on babe cool off, we should be friends instead of enemies” she said with a changed tone, “I don’t have your time, so plea-se get behind me” i yelled and turned to leave. “Whether you like it or not, you will be seeing more of my pres£nce and i advise you leave that obnoxious Emmanuel and make something good out of your life now you still have the time, because i will make his life miserable and burn who ever stands on my way. I think i have given you fair warning my lady. Emmanuel spoiled my life and i won’t st©p until i spoil his” she threatened seriously. I froze for a while, meditated over her words and walked away silently. A new fear erupted in my heart. I had no doubt she was serious with her threats. “Can i stand her? what else is she planning?, is there something i’m yet to find out about Emmanuel?” i wondered fearfully, my legs shook while my heart pounded furiously.
I calmly left the police station and waited for Emmanuel in a shop close by. I anxiously waited for forty five minutes, but he failed to show up. Nervously i returned to the station, with my heart pounding furiously, fear engulfing me immensely. But luckily i met him at the entrance door, the sp©t i earlier had a little confrontation with Stella. I heaved a sigh of relief as i stared into his eyes. Stella’s brother was standing by his side, they stared at me for a while without saying anything. “You are free to go, but do know that my eyes are on you” He finally said to Emmanuel as they shook hands, “No problem” Emmanuel murmured, held my hand and made to walk away with me. “Can i have a word with you plea-se” I heard Stella’s brother ask with his eyes on me. I stared at him nervously, breathed de-eply and shrugged. “Okay” i muttered and walked towards him, while Emmanuel watched suspiciously, “You have seen nothing of what we call life’; your b©yfri£ndis false in heart, in mind, in soul; he has a false flattering ton-gue, falsel-ips, false principles, you better be careful” he advised seriously, surprising me with his bluntness. “You better watch your ton-gue mister” Emmanuel instantly barked, reached out and dragged me away, “Don’t mind the idiot” he nervously said to me as we left the police station. We said nothing to each other until we arrived at his ap@rtment minutes later. “So how did you finally settle with them?, did you sign the papers?” I asked curiously. He breathed de-eply, and shook his head, “plea-se i rather not talk about it. plea-se” i heard him say,
“But i have every right to know, don’t I?” i asked, “plea-se let me be, i’m very hungry” he murmured with an angry tone. _______ Without another word, i dutifully prepared and served breakfast, which he ate hungrily. My thoughts kept wandering to and fro as i watched him eat. I wasn’t as hungry as he was, because my heavy mind blocked my apetite. “I’m still eager to know how you settled with him?” I anxiously asked, hiding my anxiety with a calm smile, “I’m telling you no story, so plea-se bother me no more. I have enough problems alre-ady” he replied coldly. I stared at him angrily, stood up and bit myl-ips. “I think you are hiding something nas-ty from me, it’s better you open up now or?” I threatened with a raised voice. “Or what?, Mary give me some space plea-se, i’m choking” he replied defiantly, getting me extremely annoyed with his comment. “Fine, I’m leaving, you know where to find me, bye” I shouted at him, gr@bb£d my bag and ran out of his ap@rtment. I was extremely angry and downcasted, i felt very bad because he treated me like an insignificant child. I un-derstood his problems were telling on him, but to be treated in such undignifying manner was something i couldn’t stand. He equally never cared to run after me nor call me back. I was almost in tears when i got back to my lodge minutes later. Fate however added salt to my wound, by ma-king me run into Samuel as i ran up the stairs with tears in my eyes. __________ I froze in shock as i stared at him, got hold of myself, looked away and ran past him to my room, but he surprisingly c@m£ after me, catching up with me as i st©pped to unlock my door. “happy Sunday Mary” he greeted politely,
“Hello Samuel” i murmured nervously. He breathed de-eply, drew close and studied me silently. Luckily, i managed to open my door that moment, and rushed into my room without another word. He however joined me in my room, throwing me into great tension with his undesirable behaviour. He really was the last person i expected to see or talk to that moment and I equally was extremely ashamed that he saw me in a very terrible condition. My heart pounded furiously as i fell face first on my be-d, backing him rudely, and praying silently for him to leave, but my prayers weren’t answered. He simply stood calmly, and waited for me to get hold of myself. “plea-se let me be, i’m not myself plea-se” i finally heard myself say to him. “You look very troubled, dejected, broken and lost, what is happening to you?” he asked curiously. I bit myl-ips and sighed de-eply, “Sam plea-se leave me alone, i’m very tired and weak” i murmured, sat up and faced him with a coloured face. His eyes melted as he looked into mine, he c@m£ forward and squ-atted by my side, “Did he hurt you again?, tell me, what did he do to you? I see pain and unhappiness in your eyes?” he asked searchingly, ma-king me blus-h and look away. I was extremely embarras-sed and ashamed. “Why should you care, plea-se leave” i said to him, but he calmly shook his head and held my hands, “Old things has come to pas-s my dear, this is new year and ‘A New Year Brings a New Beginning’, so don’t worry about the past, you can still count on me for anything” he sweetly said, while i looked into his eyes and saw hope. The only thing missing that moment was a soap opera music. Can you guess what happened next ?
EPISODE 10 💚❣️
My heart pounded furiously as i tried to say something, I opened my mouth but no word c@m£ out. I swallowed ha-rd and looked away, de-eply embarras-sed and confused. “Mary” Samuel called my name softly, breaking my heart and flogging my soul with his voice. He really behaved like a good christian, very forgiving and caring, ma-king my conscience flog and bite me without mercy. The way he offered his help totally broke me into two, i really couldn’t believe he was re-ady to help after how i betrayed and dumped him the previous year. “I don’t deserve your help, sympathy or anything, plea-se just go, i beg of you” I finally managed to mutter, shaking and surprising him with my outbur-st. “You are too proud and it isn’t good for a girl” he said with a very sad face. I breathed de-eply and t©uçhed his left cheek, “You are a very nice guy who deserves something better. Seriously each time i look at you, my conscience hurts because i instantly remember all the bad things i did to you, so accepting anything from you will kill me, plea-se just let me be, moreover i’m not in any terrible situation that nee-ds help, believe me” I explained calmly. He bit hisl-ips and stood up. “I broke my pride and most importantly i did what every guy will frown upon, by coming back to see you, but it’s okay” he murmured regretably. “Oh no Samuel don’t say that” I cried, stood up and hvgged him ti-ghtly, “you are a very nice guy and i know God will repay you somehow” I prayed, “We don’t choose who we fall in love with, it’s something that happens without influence, and when it happens we leave everything just to follow our heart. Sometimes we end up with the wrong person, but believe me that’s it” I poured out as i held him ti-ghtly,
“And what happens to a guy who falls in love with a girl who happens to love another?” he asked, “Seriously i can’t answer that” i murmured with a heavy heart. “I wronged you, i scammed your family and broke their trust. I’ll be at your family house next saturday to apologize and seek forgiveness from your family” i heard myself say. He instantly broke away from me, stared into my eyes and ru-bbe-d his face with his palms. “Will you actually do that?” he asked curiously, “Of course i will, moreover it’s the only way i can atone for my sins and be free from the evil t©uçh of misfortune which has befallen me lately” i confessed. Was there ever anything seen like love and sorrow meeting together in a place?. The pure love of Samuel’s noble heart, and the keen sorrow in mine, brou-ght sadness more bitter than death upon us as we stared at each other that fateful Sunday. “Alright then, i have to get going” Samuel muttered seriously. I nodded with a faint smile, “Thanks again for checking up on me, hope you will be at home on Saturday?” i asked meekly, “Of course i will” he replied, breathed de-eply and turned to leave. “Sam plea-se wait” i begged nervously, forcing him to st©p, turn and stare at me curiously, “I have cute course-mates who will be willing to have a relationsh!pwith a guy like you, should i arrange one for you?” i asked nervously. He breathed de-eply and shook his head,
“Never mind, thanks” he objected, “Are you sure?” i asked seriously, “Yea and i’m also very sure you will later regret leaving the only boy that truly loved you” he answered, turned and left without another word. ______ I took a long shower, freshened up and had a little nap. However a loud knock on my door hours later, woke me up. I lazily answered my door and smiled brightly as my eyes fell on Mariam. “Thank God you are back, i missed you dear” i happily cried as we hvgged each other. “Me too” she murmured happily. Even though our friendsh!pwasn’t as strong as it used to be due to my strange affair with Emmanuel, we still maintained a little clos£ness and still shared a unique bond which kept us together like sisters. She never supported how i got back with Emmanuel, but it never st©pped me from sharing my fears with her. “Could you believe Emmanuel has a daughter” i announced as she walked into my room, “Don’t say that, jeez!” she exclaimed with surprise, settled down on my be-d with both hands on her jaw and listened keenly. I calmly sat beside her and narrated the latest story of my life to her. “Damn this is so weird and unbelievable” she murmured and shook her head after listening to all i poured out, “My dear i think you should run away from that guy, unless you are willing to risk your life over him. Moreover it isn’t too late for you, since you havn’t given him much commitment, nor sle-pt with him after that careless night you spend at his family house last year” she advised seriously.
“You are right, but i just can’t do it, don’t ask me why plea-se” i said seriously. She scoffed, shook her head and held my left shoulder, “I think you are being insanely stupid, seriously” she scolded, “you used to be a level headed, intelligent girl, but it seems like you are getting stupid as you grow older, plea-se don’t take it the wrong way, but i have to tell you the truth” she added with a serious look. “What is love without happiness?, and what is happiness without a bright future?” she asked, forcing me to look away in confusion, “There is no doubt you are love with Emmanuel, but where is your happiness, and how will your life turn out in few years coming?” “This is no soap opera, we are talking about your life. Youthful love fades with time, but happiness and bright future can make it last a life time” She advised with burning eyes, “You are like my sister my dear, and i know you have a very good but weak heart, do you think you stand a chance with Stella and her numerous antics eeh?, answer me?, moreover how are you sure Emmanuel won’t abandon you at the last moment, because he’s good at it?” she asked seriously. I silently swallowed ha-rd , lost in thought. I was lost, disoriented and disorganised. Instead of helping, Mariam choosed to dismember me with her frightening questions. But sometimes a truthful reality is very painful and horrible to imagine. But could she be right with all she’s just said?
