(Okay guys, I noticed a lot of you are really curious about how martha knows ru-by, Just keep on re-ading this story, Don’t miss any chapter and very soon, You will find every thing to re-lease your curiousity)
ru-by went to the police station to make a report on Mike for s-xual har@$$ment.
“Is there proof?” The gigantic scary police officer asked.
“Huh? I’m the proof… because he did it to me” ru-by answered.
All the cops who were there laughed ha-rd.
“You girls are the same, You make false reports on men saying they s-xually har@$$ed you… You girls just want to bring the man down”
“I’m serious sir! I’m saying nothing but the truth”
“Speak for yourself, A lot of ladies has entered this police station to make false reports on young men and the reports are only on s-xually har@$$ment.When we arrest him without evidence and we also later find out he is innocent, We will lose our job so young lady, I advise you to leave and come back when you have enough evidence”
ru-by looked at the cop sadly. She didn’t know what to do anymore. “What is this world turning to? It’s unfair” She whispered to herself.
“But sir? plea-se what kind of evidence can I bring to you?” She asked.
“Any type, Maybe a recording, video or pictures or even an eye witness but it’s preferable to have 2 eye witnesses in order to make your proof stronger” The cop replied.
ru-by thanked him and left.
She finally reached home, and opened the door. Removing her shoes,She shouted “I’m home!”
“Are you back?Welcome!” Beckey shouted from the kitchen.
ru-by saw a cute little girl on the sofa watching TV and drinking a cu-p of orange jui-ce.
ru-by looked at her as the girl bowed in respect. ru-by smiled and entered the kitchen.
“Who’s she?” ru-by asked gulping a cu-p of water.
“Who? Oh… She is my little niece” Beckey replied.
“Wow! You got to be kidding me right?!…So you are an aunt, I’m jealous, Hope she is polite though? I want to have a word with her”
“Sure… And she is cute too, We are having honey soup for dinner” Beckey said with a smile.
“Yippee! My favorite” ru-by laughed hu-gging her.
They both smiled and ru-by rushed to the living room.
“Hey there” ru-by said to the little girl as soon as she sat down
“Hi, It’s nice to meet you” She replied sweetly.
“It’s nice to meet you too, How are you?” ru-by asked with a smile.
“I’m fine, Thank you” She replied.
“What’s your name?” ru-by asked again.
“I’m Mira” She replied
“Oh, What a cute name, How old are you?”
“I’m seven” She replied showing her seven cute little fin-gers.
ru-by smiled, bent down and faced her.
“Aunt, You are pretty” Mira chuckled.
“Oh… Thank you” ru-by replied smiling
“Do you have a husband alre-ady or are you dating someone?”
“Oh… I’m quite surprised! But no, I’m still single”
“That’s a relief”
“Why?” ru-by asked her puzzled.
“I will ask my daddy to marry you” She said with a sweet laugh.
ru-by chuckled and faced her. Just then, ru-by felt goosebu-mps on her b©dy.
“Why does this face look familiar? From where did I meet her?” She thought aloud and quic-kly stood up.
“Aunt?”
“Huh?”
“Is everything alright?”
“Uhmm… Yeah, Sure”
“Dinner is re-ady, Let’s eat!” Beckey said bringing the food to the sitting room.
“Yippee! Food” Mira smiled.
ru-by kept looking into space as her heart started palpitating for no reason.
“Why I’m I feeling this way? This girl looks familiar, I can bet my life on this, She resembles someone I know… But who??” ru-by thought staring into space.
She stole a glance at Mira again and quic-kly re-moved her face because she felt more goosebu-mps.
She shivered for a moment and de-eply sighed.
“What are you thinking about?” Beckey asked waking her up from her de-ep thoughts.
“I said dinner is re-ady, Let’s eat”
“Huh? I’m sorry but eat without me”
“It’s your favorite though, You were happy earlier, What is the matter?”
“Uhmm… Nothing actually but I guess I have no appetite” ru-by replied leaving to her room.
ru-by la-id down on the be-d and stared de-eply at the ceiling without blinking.
“Who is she?” She thought.
She finally sighed and closed her eyes.
“As for Mike, The only option is to report to Mr Tyson tomorrow morning” She thought aloud as sleep c@m£.
************
Meanwhile, Mike was restless at home. He kept thinking of the scream he heard when he tried mo-lesting ru-by.
“Did she plan to bring me down with any of her student,Well…if she thinks she is smart, I’m smarter ” Mike said reaching for his phone on the table.
He dialed a number and the owner picked.
“Hello? Mr Tyson?” Mike asked shedding crocodile tears.
“Huh? Mr Mike? Is everything alright, why are you crying?” Mr Tyson asked concerned.
“I just lost a good, beloved family member so I can’t make it to school tomorrow, plea-se let me go over to their place tomorrow and pay my condolences” Mike lied
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry for your loss, My condolences to you and the family, There isn’t a problem, You can come to school when you feel better, Your @$$istant will take your place, So just rest for now,Sorry once again for your loss” Mr Tyson said with sadness in his voice.
“Thank you sir, May God bless you” Mr Mike said crying out loud.
“Amen… It’s alright, Everything is fine.. Goodnight”
“Goodnight sir” Mike said a he cut the call.
Immediately, He did this, He cleaned his crocodile tears and laughed heartily.
“Let the game begin because I’m going to be back” He whispered as he laughed wickedly.
************
That morning, ru-by and Beckey was re-ady for work.
“Go without me, I want to take Mira to her school” Beckey said.
“Okay… Huh, But Beckey?” ru-by called.
“What’s that?” Beckey replied.
“What of Mira’s parents?”
“Oh… Her dad travelled, He had an urgent business call and he went to the states to take care of it but as for the Wife, She divorced him” Beckey whispered
“Divorce?Does that mean Mira’s father is a divorcee?”
Beckey nodded.
“Oh… No wonder Mira told me she would ask her father to marry me… But when did Mira’s mum divorce him?”
“I think it was when she was 4 years old”
“Oh my! But why did they divorce?”
“He was having an affair, When the wife found about it, She was furious abd requested for a divorce, She left the county and left Mira in her father’s care” Beckey whispered.
“Oh goodness! That’s bad though” ru-by said.
“Yh… My brother was really something else, Well… You should go, You are late” Beckey said.
“Oh.. Yeah, I almost forgot!” ru-by chuckled as she ran to school.
*************
During Break hours, ru-by met with Mr Tyson. She wanted to report Mike actions and she was glad he didn’t come. She thought he avoided her because of what he did.
“Good afternoon sir” She greeted
“Oh… ru-by, How are you?” He asked wearing his gl@$$es and checking some papers.
“I’m good sir”
“That’s nice, Is there any problem at all?”
“Yes sir, It’s concerning Mr Mike…
“Oh… You heard?” Mr Tyson interrupted.
“Huh? Heard what sir?”
“About Mr Mike, Wasn’t that what you wanted to tell me”
“Huh? You knew?”
“Yeah… He called me yesterday night and told me”
“What?He told you? Did he confess? Goodness, He is regretting his actions after all”
“What are you saying? He called yesterday, His close good Family member died”
“What? Oh my! That’s bad” ru-by said sadly.
“Yeah… Right, He called saying he want to pay his condolences to the family,It such a big pity, He cried during the call”
“Ohhh” ru-by said as she bit her fin-ger ha-rd.
“ru-by?” Mr Tyson called.
“Huh? Yes sir?”
“Wasn’t that what you wanted to say? Do you want to say anything else?”
ru-by looked at him and swallowed ha-rd. She felt pity for Mr Mike even after the things she went throu-gh him.
“Nothing sir, I will take my leave then” ru-by replied bowing down a bit.
She left afterwards.
****************
Ryan and Peter was in the cafeteria entering their meal.
Meanwhile, Ryan was still in de-ep thoughts.
He remembered when ru-by asked him if he knew about love.
“She was right! I’ve never been in a serious relationship before” He thought sadly.
“Hey… Peter” He called.
“Yeah?” Peter asked drinking coffee.
“Are you in a relationship?”
Peter looked at him and wi-de-ned his eyes, He couldn’t control himself and spilled all the coffee contents which was in his mouth to Ryan’s face.
“Hey dude… What was that for?” Ryan asked.
“Huh? Sorry…Here, Clean yourself up” Peter apologized giving him a clean white napkin.
“So are you?” Ryan asked again cleaning the coffee mess on his face.
“Why did you ask?” Peter asked feeling quite worried.
“Well… Remember when Those girls called me “oppa?” when I c@m£ to your cl@$$ for the very first time” Ryan asked.
“Yh…” Peter replied.
“Do you still remember your response?” Ryan asked.
Peter looked at him and remembered it clearly (I hope you guys remember it too?) ;
“Why should they call you oppa when our girlfriends hasn’t started calling us oppa”
“So? Uhh…. I just said it ehmmm… On behalf of the guys with girlfriends in our cl@$$” Peter lied as he stammered.
“Oh… Sh*t!” Ryan said scattering his hair rou-ghly.
Peter laughed.
“But why did you ask?”
“I wanted ti-ps on how to have a serious relationship”
“Oh wow! Are you dating?” Peter asked.
“Not yet”
“Huh? Not yet? Is it a one sided crush?”
Ryan nodded embarr@$$ed.
“Wow! Have you told her yet?” Peter asked.
“Yeah” Ryan answered still embarr@$$ed.
“Oh my God! Don’t tell me! It’s alre-ady clearly written on your face, She rejected right?”
“It is what it is” Ryan replied sipping his cold Pepsi.
“Oh wow! I’m surprised! Girls are dying for you while one girl declined you! The almighty Ryan!” Peter joked as he laughed.
“Shut it dude” Ryan said embarr@$$ed.
“Alright but I can’t help to stop laughing…Ha ha ha….But seriously, Who’s she?”
“Goodness, That’s a secret”
“Come on, Just tell me”
“Hell no!” Ryan replied as he smiled childishly.
Peter laughed and looked at his right side. His eyes caught Barbara with some girls eating.
Barbara stylishly looked at him and smiled.
Peter secretly looked at her and win-ked.
Meanwhile, at the other side, Martha caught this act done by them.
Martha chuckled lightly.
Soon enough, Ashley c@m£ to Ryan and Peter’s table. She sat close to Ryan and held his hand.
“Hey!” Ryan yelled.
“Why are you yelling? Goodness, I just c@m£ to eat with you… That’s all” Ashley said.
“Let’s leave here, Peter” Ryan said.
“Nah.. Let’s just stay here and finish our meal,Don’t tell me you are afraid of Ashley” Peter said grinning.
“Hell no” He replied as he sat down immediately
Martha looked at this from where she stayed. She sadly sipped her jui-ce as she remembered when Ryan had told her she was quite good and mentioned that a girl was the best.
“But who could that girl? It’s can’t be Ashley right?” She thought still sipping her wine.
“Sém!” Martha heard a loud voice say. She noticed it was Ryan’s voice and looked up.
She saw ru-by holding some heavy books and Ryan walking close to her.
ru-by looked at him.
“This guy can never change right?” She thought.
But Ryan thoughts was like “One night can never change me and What I feel for you”
Ryan and ru-by looked at each other within some meters they stood from.
“What is it?” ru-by asked.
“Those books look heavy, Can I help you with that?” He replied.
But Martha seemed to be the only one in the whole of the cafeteria to watch the drama ru-by and Ryan displa-yed.
