Episode 21

“Please be quick with the story” i muttered with a drawn face, while he simply just smiled, supported his jaw with his right hand and stared at me like someone with a whole lot of time in his hands,

“You really have grown into a beautiful woman, more sexy and attractive than i expected” he said with a smile. I frowned and sighed,

“Your plan didn’t work, you thought i will dry up like a dead leaf when you abandoned me abi? Mtcheeew” i poured and hissed. He instantly looked away with remorse in his eyes, but i felt no pity for him. His comment really ignited my anger, even though it was meant to flatter me.

“Abeg do fast and tell me the story, i have other things to do” i urged coldly,

“Your comments are just like a whip, flogging the living hell out of me” he murmured in order to draw out pity. I scoffed, shook my head and stared at him coldly,

Thunder fire you there, i just wish my comments could do much more than flogging your wretched body” i cursed bitterly.

“My God! Mary you have changed considerably, you now curse and throw insults without fear” he exclaimed with surprise,

“Change is a constant thing in life oga, and as long as i’m alive, i will keep on changing. I see you have no story to tell, this conversation is over and never happened” i barked and stood up rudely. He instantly tried to grab my left hand, but was unsuccessful.

“Please don’t ever come to my lodge again unless you need a hot bath” i threatened and walked away, while he speechlessly stared at me with a coloured face.

“God please forgive me, i never intended to curse and insult him this way, but you know he caused everything” i prayed with remorse as i left the cafe.

I soon felt a strong hand grab me from behind outside the cafe, i instantly turned and stared at Emmanuel murderously,

“Please can i have your phone number” he begged,

“Go to hell” i cursed, turned and made to leave. He instantly blocked my path and stared at me with prayers in his eyes,

“Don’t do this Mary, please i have waited so long for this moment, if you refuse me your phone number, i will have no choice than to follow you to your lodge and kill myself with your hot water, i can’t just continue living this way, not after seeing you after a long wait” he begged seriously.

I looked up and down with confusion and frustration quickly eating me up like hunger. I equally battled with my mind as i thought of the strategy i could use in discharging him.

I slowly held my pride, and controlled my angry spirit,

“I need to sleep over this issue, i can’t just give you my new phone number easily, moreover you just appeared from the clouds after disappearing from my life for a long time, i will be in school tomorrow, perhaps you will get my number if we meet then, but please on no account should you visit my lodge, that’s all i can say for now and i think it’s fair considering all you did to me” i muttered calmly. He shrugged unhappily and nodded with a faint smile.

“That’s fine by me” he accepted without another argument. I rolled my eyes and walked away without another word,

“How do i resist this idiot of a boy?” i wondered.

“I surely need Mariam’s advice before i do something nasty, two heads are better than one” i concluded with a calm smile as i trekked back to my lodge that fateful afternoon, very glad i was finally free from his disturbance, at least for that day….

LATER IN THE EVENING, MARIAM’S ROOM

“Emmanuel is back” i whispered into my friend’s ear as if i was scared of calling out Emmanuel’s name. She glanced at me with surprise,

“Emmanuel! Which Emmanuel?” she curiously asked,

“My ex na, have you forgotten him?” i replied. She instantly gasped and held my left palm tightly,

“You mean you saw him?” she asked,

” He was in my room yesterday and even blocked me in school today” i explained,

“So what does he want?, how did he even find you?” she asked with concern,

“Girl i really can’t say how he found me, i even thought you were the person who helped him” i answered quietly. She gave me an askance look, smiled and tapped my left shoulder,

“Nawa for you, why you go think that kind thing? I’m very much surprised as you are, so what did he say and what does he want?” she asked.

“Usual stuff, he wants my phone number, he has a story to tell, he can’t continue living this way” i replied and mimicked Emmanuel’s voice. She laughed and clapped her hands.

“Abegi don’t mind him, better be careful from now onwards, you know how guys especially first boyfriend’s can be, very cunning and crafty like a con-artist, moreover he knows you too well, so please don’t even give him any chance to open his mouth” she advised.

“But how can i be able to do that? He threatened to kill himself if i don’t give him attention” i murmured,

“Then let him kill himself, supposing you died of heartbreak when he left you, will he be talking all these nonsense” she replied unhappily, while i breathed deeply and shrugged.

“So have you told your guy?” she asked,

"No, i murmured and shook my head,

“Please don’t hide this issue from him, it will be easier for you to discharge him with Samuel backing you up, i’m talking from experience” she advised like a sister (And that was a good advise from Mariam which i declined, a great mistakes we ladies make when our Ex later shows from nowhere)

“I really don’t like involving that poor boy in my problems” i murmured,

“I don’t think you have any other choice, my dear” she concluded and stared at me with pity. I looked away and shrugged.

9PM, SAMUEL’S ROOM

I laid on his body, while he gently played with my hair, a gesture i always enjoyed, but that evening, i really was very restless.

Mariam’s advice kept repeating in my head, urging me to open up and reveal all i was hiding. But i couldn’t get myself to do her bidding, which really was the most appropriate thing to do.

A force i really can’t define nor figure out, sealed my lips and locked them firmly like a padlock. Perhaps it was fear which hindered me or maybe it was my stupidity which played such a dirty trick on me. My conscience urged me but my strength failed me, while my mouth refused to oblige. The kind of force which held me that moment seemed similar to that which often stops we girls from exposing our boyfriend’s pals who made passes at us. Only girls will surely understand the state i was in. Deep down i felt very guilty..

“I will talk to Emmanuel tomorrow, if he still insists, then i will have no choice than to tell Samuel” i promised myself.

A promise which left a sour feeling in my mind, but unknown to me Mariam had her own plans which soon reshaped and turned everything upside down for me….

Episode 22

Dawn arrived quickly than i expected. I tossed uneasily on Samuel’s bed.

“How do i face Emmanuel today?” i wondered and closed my eyes,

“God help me” i prayed and breathed deeply. My strength failed me.
_______________
I stayed away from lectures that fateful day, and stayed indoors with Samuel, who really was very glad to sacrifice his lectures because of me. We had a wonderful time playing, joking and he never went beyond his boundary,which i really loved most about him.. Deep down within me i still felt very uneasy.

I kept thinking about Emmanuel and his next line of action, since i failed to show up in school. My heart leapt each time i heard someone knocking on a neighbour’s door, fearing it was him knocking on my door.

“Hope you are alright dear, you look very anxious and uneasy?” Samuel asked numerous times that fateful day. But instead of telling him my plight i preferred to keep it firmly sealed in my heart.

“I can’t believe you still haven’t told him about Emmanuel, upon everything i said to you yesterday, seriously you are no longer behaving like the Mary i know, are you under a spell or are you still habouring some form of affection for that boy?” Mariam asked suspiciously, when she came into my room later in the evening, after returning from school..

“You won’t understand” i murmured and bit my lips,

“Yes i can’t understand your behaviour anymore, you even skipped lectures because of that boy nawa oh” she replied and shook her head.

“I know what i’m doing okay, you are just misunderstanding my actions dear,” i murmured. She shrugged and changed the topic, while I instantly felt relieved, because i really had no strength to argue with her.

However when Samuel confronted me about Emmanuel later in the night, i knew my best friend had snitched on me. I felt very terrible, weak and lost, but what pained me the most was Samuel’s words, which really injured me immensely.

“I never knew you could keep such information away from me. I never believed i will ever hear such news from someone else, why Mary?, why??” he asked after repeating all Mariam told him.

I swallowed hard and looked away, with an injured pride, totally ashamed of myself.

“I can’t even imagine you stayed away from school just because of him” he muttered,

“Baby i kept it away from you because i didn’t want to involve you, i know how upset you will be if i tell you such news” i explained truthfully, but for the first time he choosed not to believe me. He stared at me for a while before looking down.

“Seriously i don’t know what to believe, how am i even sure you haven’t been meeting him secretly, perhaps it was your friend’s conscience that made her open up to me even though i suspect she tuned down the whole thing” he murmured. I gasped in shock, grabbed his right hand strongly, forcing him to bring his eyes back on me.

Samuel has never doubted, suspected, nor spoken silly words to me, but that moment it appeared as if i lost all his trust. The most painful part of it all was that he accused me unjustly and kept staring at me as if i was a half penny who.re.

“My God, why did Mariam do this to me” i wondered with a weeping heart, totally lost, dejected and heartbroken……

“Good night” Samuel muttered, snatched his hand from my grasp, and turned his back on me,

“Where are you going?” i asked stupidly,

“To my room of course” he replied coldly,

“Spend the night here with me dear?” i begged,

“I don’t think it’s necessary, you never wanted me to get involved, so it’s better i stay away so that you can clean up your problems alone just like you wanted. You can notify me when you are done” he murmured and left my room.

“Dear your behaviour is punishing me, don’t leave me here alone” i begged as he left.

I never knew Samuel could ever get so annoyed with me in such manner, and It just looked as if my life was crashing in a terrifying manner.

I spent that night tossing on my bed and crying. I woke up the next day emotionally weak, pertubed and uneasy.

Mariam showed up in my room by 7:55AM, I felt like murdering her, but had to control myself because i didn’t want to create a scene with someone so vulgar.

“Why the drawn face huh?” she asked and sat beside me with concern. I sighed and looked the other way,

“Snitch” i hissed quietly,

“Hmmm okay, now i understand the monkey face you are showing me. Of course i told Samuel because you have no reason for hiding Emmanuel’s disturbance from him. You won’t understand what i did for you, hahaha you can thank me later shaaa” she patted my back and laughed.

“This is no laughing matter, your big mouth just cost me my relationship” i murmured,

“Abegi make i hear word jare” she replied and fell back on my bed,

“I’m very serious, Samuel almost pounced on me yesterday” i complained bitterly. To my surprise, my dear friend laughed out loud.

“Anyway i don’t blame you, i caused everything by revealing my problems to you” i added sadly. She sat up and stared at me seriously.

“Baby don’t talk like that, Samuel loves you very much, he just reacted as he should. Relax he will come back to make peace” she assured,

“What if he doesn’t?” i asked,

“Then you go yourself and beg him, you have legs don’t you?” she replied and winked at me, “anyway i don’t think Samuel can last a day without you” she concluded while i shrugged.

We argued and debated about Emmanuel, Samueland how to settle my problems throughout that morning till 11:3AM when we heard a steady knock on my door which interrupted us.

Mariam quickly answered my door and froze when she saw who was knocking. She slowly walked backwards like someone possessed by an evil power. My face instantly coloured. I gasped and swallowed hard when i saw Emmanuel confidently walk into my room with a steady smile. But before i could recover from the shock, Mariam quickly regained herself and pushed him feriociously with an energy i never have seen in her.

Her push took him by surprise, and sent him staggering backwards towards the open door. Mariam pushed again and again until he was out of my room without much resistance. She quickly locked my door with great speed and rested her body on it as she gasped for breath.

I really was totally stunned, and surprised at the great stunt she pulled. I stared at her gratefully for some minutes and breathed deeply,

“God please give me the type of mind, strength and courage Mariam has” i prayed….

Episode 23

“That guy really is something else, imagine the arrogance, the smile and the way he carried himself, God” Mariam muttered and fell on my bed.

“Do you think your action will stop him?” i asked with a smile,

“Of course not, what i did was just a temporary measure, stopping him permanently is in your hands, just like you did to David” she replied,
“But i think you should first apologize and sort out your differences with Samuel, before having anything to do with that rascal, or else you will be adding more salt to your problems” she lectured, “imagine allowing him into you room and Samuel shows up in the process” she added. A shiver ran through me as i imagined it all,

“You are right dear, i will settle with Samuel this evening” i assured her.

Emmanuel knocked on my door for hours and left when he realised nothing would make us open the door for him. Mariam later left for her own room. I bathed, wore a lovely gown, sprayed perfume all over my body and went over to Samuel’s room.

He allowed me into his room without saying anything. I smiled laid on his bed and stared at him. He sat on his rug and backed me, focusing his eyes on the tv screen, even though i knew his mind was somewhere else.

“I’m sorry” i quietly apologized and touched his right shoulder. He kept quiet and ignored me.

“You know me better dear and you know the last thing i will ever do is to cheat on you, not with my ex, not with anyone” i prayed,

“I don’t know you anymore” he muttered coldly. I breathed deeply, climbed down from the bed and sat beside him on the floor,

“Dear look into my eyes and repeat that comment, i won’t disturb you again if you repeat it” i dared him calmly. He looked into my eyes momentarily before looking away. I smiled and heaved a sigh of relief...
“I still have much control over him” i acknowledged.

I gently pecked him, cutting off his tirade. For a brief instant, he resisted, then sighed,

“It wounds me when you act like this” i murmured,

“Isn’t there something you need to tell me?” he asked curiously. I looked away and played the feminine stunt. Tears fell from my eyes and i began to cry.

He instantly clasped me to his chest

“ssh” he soothed, “it’s over, everything is alright”

I smiled in my mind. Searched his face as i probed for equivocation, but encountered none, which ultimately made me accept his pledge to be genuine.



“Problem solved” i breathed deeply and murmured to myself. My dearest Samuel is the most gullible guy i have ever met, and it really was so because he loved me with all his heart.

“Why are you smiling?” i soon heard him ask. But i didn’t reply because i was busy planning my next line of action, which was stopping Emmanuel from disturbing me. I felt uneasy thinking about it as if i knew my downfall was approaching…

“Please my love don’t ever mistrust me again” i whispered pleadingly into his ear. He swiftly turned and stared into my eyes with the cutiest smile ever,

“It won’t happen again dear” he promised and pecked me. I smiled gratefully, played with his left ear for a while before playfully pinching his jaw,

“I have another request to make my love” i carefully murmured. He held my left hand and nodded for me to continue,

“Please allow me to handle Emmanuel the way i deem it fit” i begged humbly. His expression instantly changed, and he breathed deeply like someone in pain, as he scanned my face with his eyes like a detective.

“But baby i don’t think it’s wise” he tried to argue. I instantly placed a finger on his lips, deliberately stopping him from finishing his objection.

“Please baby” i begged with my feminine charms which i instantly displayed. He looked away for some seconds, shrugged and faced me again.

“Alright if that will make you happy and equally get him to leave you, who am i to object” he accepted with a dry smile, while my eyes instantly beemed with joy. I hugged him happily, every pore in my body smiled with excitement.

“Thanks my love, you are the best, very understanding and considerate” i murmured happily, before resting on his body like a little child.

He just held me and smiled like someone who displeased himself for the sake of peace.
_____

“Do you think you can handle Emmanuel on your own” Mariam asked with concern the following morning, after listening to the narration i gave her on how i secured Samuel’s love and trust again.

“Yea i can, or don’t you trust me anymore?” i answered and stared at her suspiciously. Seriously her behaviour and loyalty seemed to change, since she learnt of Emmanuel’s return.

“I do trust you dear” she flashed a quick smile, shrugged and expertly changed the topic.
_____
2:30PM A DAY LATER

I was about taking my usual sunday siesta when i heard gentle knocks on my door. I lazily got up from my bed, opened my door and gasped in surprise when my eyes fell on Emmanuel smiling nervously. I felt weak on my knees, while my heart skipped a bit, i really don’t know why i always felt uneasy each time i happen to meet his gaze, “perhaps i really haven’t yet gotten over him the way i thought” i wondered as i stared coldly at him.

“Mary all i need is just two minutes of your time, please don’t shut your door and grant me audience” he begged softly. I breathed deeply and allowed him into my room, very determined to end his chapter and disturbance that fateful afternoon.

“Thanks for letting me into your room” Emmanuel murmured with a smile as he settled down on a small plastic chair.

“I know what i came to say may be a bit difficult and probably weird to you, but i really came with every bit of sincerity and honesty a guy could ever muster. Before i begin please let’s keep all our differences and things of the past aside and think only about the future” he fluently poured out. I scoffed, held my jaw and nodded for him to continue.

“I know i did a very terrible, unforgivable deed by abandoning you, i really do apologize for that and i know if you will ever bear to hear my side of the story, you really will understand why it happened. Anyway let me go straight to why i came here” he added nervously like a new bank executive who was making his first presentation. My heart pounded furiously as i listened to him.

“Baby i really came to finish the dream we started together years ago. Remember our plans, hopes and dreams we shared, drawings and promises we made to each other as we mapped our life years ago? I have returned with the noble intention of finishing it. Let’s forget the past and forge ahead please. I now work with Fidelity bank, just like i told you i will when i graduate, please don’t let personal feelings and anger cloud your judgement. My parents are waiting for you, my heart is very eager to unite with yours and my soul could only be at rest with you by my side, cyndii dear let’s finish this dream together” he pleaded passionately.

“Stop!!!” i snapped, cutting off his speech midway. I truly couldn’t believe his words were having terrible effects on me. I really was hypnotized.

“What’s wrong with me, why am i even listening to all this thrash” i wondered, terribly alarmed at the apparent change in me. I instantly trembled when i felt his touch as he expertly reached out, held my fingers and knelt by my side, when he noticed how shaken i was.

“I see confusion in your eyes. But please think this through, remember how we started and remember that i do know you very well. I went to conquer the world, now i’m back with the spoils which i lay at your feet, please listen to the silent whispers in your heart” he murmured like a devil, confusing me more.

I was lost, confused and alarmed. My heart yearned for another thing, while my body demanded for another. Sure he really was my first love, but isn’t old memories supposed to fade with time?.

“I’ll be back for your reply Mary” he whispered and kissed me before i could even breathe twice nor say anything. His kiss so bitter but very strong shook my hormones so terrible that i gasped for air.

Before i could get myself to look up at him, he was gone.

“Lord help me” i prayed. I knew i finally have gotten a very terrible secret to hide from everyone.

“Not even Mariam will hear of this” i concluded to myself, “how shameful it will be if she finds out” i reasoned as i wondered how to overcome the terrible effect Emmanuel’s disturbance was having on me.

What should i have done??

Yea i do get your point OYAY......... But Samuel is just a guy that loves easily.....That was his weakness which he failed to overcome

Episode 24

I really couldn’t sleep that Sunday, the next day nor the day after, as my body, soul and spirit revolted. They clashed and fought each other for supremacy over the control of my heart. I was terribly lost, dejected and confused. I really couldn’t believe i was thinking over Emmanuel’s request, nor considering seeing him again.

“Am i still in love with him?, why am i having all these confusions in my head??, what of Samuel?? Ain’t i supposed to think only of him, am i mentally sick or what??” i kept asking myself as i searched my mind for hidden answers.

“Am i even in love with Samuel, or am i just using the poor boy to satisfy my lonely self? Chie i don die” i do end up crying with guilt, disbelief and remorse.

I had no one to share my problems with, and Mariam who could have helped, really proved to be on Samuel’s side, so i feared she might report everything to him, if i should open up to her.

The week slowly crept by without Emmanuel showing up nor disturbing me. I tried my best to make good use of my time, concentrated on my studies and returned Emmanuel’s love. It really helped me get back some of my confidence, but at night it really was a terrible story. Emmanuel’s image kept appearing in my head.

As a girl i carried my secrets without revealing nothing to anyone. If Samuel noticed the change in me, he never showed it nor asked any probing questions. I equally avoided Mariam to the extent i only saw her only thrice that week.

10AM SATURDAY MORNING

I was on my way to my hair dresser’s salon when i ran into Emmanuel at the hostel gate.

“Why are you here?” i asked coldly. He just smiled and stared at me all over.

“I came to see you my dear, good morning” he murmured. I sighed, pushed him out of my way and walked towards my destination. He instantly ran and held my right hand strongly.

“Where are you going? I can drop you” he offered and pointed to an ash -coloured Nissan Primera car.

“You wan show me say you don buy old model car abi??” I scoffed, gave him an askance look and tried to continue with my journey, but he still held me strongly and stared into my eyes pleadingly.

“Please it won’t do you any harm, moreover we can discuss as i drive you to where ever you are going” he pleaded. I breathed deeply, looked around, saw no familar face within the premises, and nodded,

“Alright, but i will never enter your car ever again” i muttered,

“No wahala, thanks dear” he accepted happily, rushed to his car, opened the passenger’s door, helped me in, sat on the driver’s seat, switched on his car engine, backed out the car and stared at me searchingly.

“You can drive to Dora’s salon, i want to re-touch my hair” i commanded. He smiled, floored the accelerator and drove towards Dora’s salon.

“I never knew you still patronize her, i thought you always complained that she cuts your hair each time she touches it??” he asked. I looked away and smiled to myself.

“So he still do remember how i complained about Dora during the days we were together, years ago” i reasoned with disbelief.

We soon arrived at the hair dressing salon. He parked his car on a good spot, killed the engine and stared at me.

“I will wait for you” he murmured,

“No don’t bother, thanks” i replied a bit coldly,

“I insist dear” he strongly added. I breathed deeply, shrugged and got out from his car.

“Why do i always end up playing this dirty game with him, how will all these end?” i wondered as i walked into the salon.

He sat in his car and waited for me, while i sat in the salon and kept praying to Mother Mary to help, guide and protect me from the dangerous path i was walking into…

A woman’s life is very complicated and uncertain, but male folks never seem to understand or notice…

_______________________

“Emmanuel we can never be together again, all i can offer you this moment is only friendship, how many times do you want me to repeat this, please stop wasting your time with me and search for another” i pleaded quietly as we headed back to my lodge after i was done fixing my hair.

He frowned slightly, stared at me for a while and drove on silently.

Thinking over everything as i fixed my hair, i came to the conclusion that perhaps i wasn’t destined to be with him, because i really didn’t see any good reason why he even abandoned me in the first place. Yet i also couldn’t deny that i wasn’t feeling something for him, even though it wasn’t strong enough to make me risk my relationship with Samuel.

Emmanuel drove on silently until we got to my lodge. He killed the car engine and stared at me pointedly,

“Atleast can i have your phone number please” he begged,

“No Emmanuel i can’t, i really do need to forget everything about you and so do you” i confessed. He swallowed hard, drew a bit closer and held my left hand softly.

“Why are you resisting me so strongly?” he asked quietly.

“You are not giving me fair hearing, please allow me to explain why i kept away from you” he begged.

“No explanation can justify what you did, please i beg of you, stop disturbing me” i pleaded, snatched my hand from his grasp and ran out of his car. He quickly followed me, but unluckily for me, i ran into Samuel who was standing beside the hostel gate with an empty galon in his hand.

I panicked and gasped, while Emmanuel equally stopped, stared at us for a while, turned back, entered his car and drove off as if he understood.

Samuel silently stared at me with surprise. I really was at lost on what to say or how to explain myself, because he clearly saw both of us even before we did see him, and i knew there is no way he wouldn’t put the whole scene together.

I quickly ran to my room without saying anything to him, expecting him to run after me, but he didn’t, instead went ahead with his own business.
______
I rushed and prepared beans for lunch as i waited for him to show up, perhaps to demand for an explanation. But he didn’t, which further surprised and alarmed me.

_____
AN HOUR AND HALF LATER

With a fast beating heart, i dutifully carried two plates of beans to Samuel’s room.

Since he failed to show up and have his lunch in mine, i had no choice than to take the food to his room.

He allowed me into his room with a sneer on his face, while i smiled nervously as i dropped the two plates on the rug.

“Can you explain the scene i just witnessed hours ago?” he instantly asked coldly. I swallowed hard and stared at him, clueless on how to explain the scene Emmanuel and i created. I remorsefully looked down and said nothing.

Surprisingly, he advanced and pushed me violently. I fell and somersaulted on his bed, while his fist closed in on me before i could even recover from the shock his violent push gave me. I held my breathe and closed my eyes.

Samuel isn’t a violent person, I guess it was all my fault. Yet i felt very bitter and blamed him for concluding without proper investigation.

I closed my eyes as i nervously waited for his fist to land on me. But after waiting for some seconds, i opened my eyes and saw him staring at me with hatred and rage.

I instantly turned and attempted to run back to my room. He grabbed my hand and violently tossed me back on his bed.

“What has come over you, control yourself jor, things are really not as they seem” i murmured as i struggled with him, trying to defend myself. He just scoffed, shook his head and bit his lips.

“I know what i saw Mary, or were my eyes lying when i saw you alight from that guy’s car, or was i dreaming, abeg tell me?” he shouted angrily,

“I have been a fool to believe your cooked and bull story about ending things with him your own way, i guess you were doing it perfectly this afternoon or do you want to tell me the guy i saw isn’t your ex, eeh??” he barked

“Let me be jor, i see you haven’t learnt to trust me after all i sacrificed in this relationship” i shouted back, sat up and dared him.

“Trust is a silly word you girls use to deceive us, Mary i don’t trust you anymore” he said coldly and bluntly. I felt insulted, dirty and wounded. I never knew a day would come when Samuel will talk back at me more or less insult and humiliate me in such manner.

“What did you just say?” i asked angrily,

“Your recent behaviours aren’t in anyway decent, i don’t trust you my dear, read my lips” he shouted disrespectfully. I drew forward, slapped him and jumped out of his bed.

“Since you no longer trust me, better keep away from me” i barked angrily,

“I guess you have gotten the opportunity you are waiting for huh? You are now free to run into his arms” he taunted. I stared at him with tears in my eyes.

“I have my pride and dignity, i will never be insulted nor humiliated by anyone not even by you, don’t come back begging” i threatened and left his room.

I hated myself as i cried and ran to my room that moment, but it was the only thing i could do,

“How do i redeem myself, why is Samuel behaving this way, how do i atone for my sins, is it my fault that i still feel something for Emmanuel, didn’t i do the right thing by refusing his advances, why am i being punished this way? GOD why??” i cried..

Episode 25


8PM

Mariam walked into my room with a calm smile on her face. I really wasn’t happy seeing her that evening but i couldn’t deny her access into my room because she was like a sister to me even though i felt she no longer was watching my back.

“I’m just coming from Samuel’s room” she muttered as she sat on my bed. I carried my teddy bear, played with it and ignored her comment.

“I don’t understand you anymore, you are very obnoxious these days” she added. I scoffed and rolled my eyes,

“Oh please” i murmured, while she stared at me and shook her head,

“I can’t believe you are allowing Emmanuel to spoil the sweet relationship you enjoy with Samuel, think my dear, think! She cautioned as if she was my mother. I dropped my teddy bear and looked up at her seriously.

“Did Samuel tell you how he humiliated and almost hit me hours ago, simply because he saw Emmanuel arguing with me. Would i be arguing with Emmanuel if i was giving him the green light eeh? Abeg leave me jor, infact i’m tired of this relationship, i want to be left alone” i poured out bitterly, while she listened to my outburst attentively with both hands on her jaw. Her face coloured with disbelief and surprise.

“I can’t believe all i’m hearing, Mary i really do think you are under a strong influence, come on get a hold of yourself and put yourself in his shoes, wouldn’t you have assumed the worst?” she asked as she drew near and held my left hand.

“Seriously dear i don’t want to talk about this anymore, i want to forget about everything, only God knows my destiny, nothing i do can change it” i murmured seriously with pain in my heart. She shrugged and stood up in resignation.

“Good night dear friend, let me go and sleep jare” she murmured and left silently.

7AM THE NEXT DAY

I sang God’s praises as i prepared for 8am sunday mass. I woke up that morning very refreshed, bright, happy and in high spirit without actually knowing the reason.

I soon heard gentle knocks on my door as i arranged my hair. I quietly opened my door and held my breathe when i saw Samuel standing on my door-way and staring hopefully at me. I really wasn’t expecting him but i equally wasn’t surprised to see him. I knew he’d come to beg sooner or later.

I forced out a smile and made way for him to enter my room.

“Happy Sunday” i polietly greeted.

“There isn’t anything happy about this Sunday, anyway i came to apologize, i’m sorry for what happened yesterday, please forgive me” he atoned without looking at me, as if he was ashamed of what he was doing, which made me ignore him and continue with ‘my church preparation’.

“Baby please let’s not allow that guy or anything to come between us. I know i over-reacted yesterday and i do apologize for it” he added solemnly.

I turned, faced him, drew closer and held his hands,

“You said many hurtful things yesterday which got me thinking about our relationship, anyway i only have one question” i quietly murmured as i searched his face curiously,

“What is it my love?” he asked quietly. I breathed deeply and continued

“I know you hardly lie to me because i haven’t given you any reason to do such, now look me in the eyes and tell me you do trust me” i prayed. But my request as simple as it was, really drew out a little frown from his face. He instantly looked down and murmured something inaudible.

“Speak up dear and please look at me” i pleaded hopefully.

“Baby i can’t lie over such trifle request, please let’s settle our differences first. We can talk about this subject later” he answered quietly while my face instantly fell.

“There is no relationship without love, no love without trust, i can’t continue with this till you start to trust me again. I suggest you go back and build your trust” i requested calmly with a little confidence and air.

“What!” he exclaimed loudly in disbelief and total shock. The fire in his eyes sparkled like a burning dry bush. I instantly backed away in order not to get burnt by his fury.

“I’m off to church” i said quietly as i backed away from him. He quickly held me strongly, hit his head twice with his left hand and bit his lips as he struggled with himself.

“You brought happiness into my life, now you are taking it away” he accused,

“Is that what lovers do to each other eeh?” “why are you doing this to me, why are you behaving like a fusspot? are you now doubting my love? Please don’t turn me into a bitter person” he prayed sorrowfully.

I instantly felt guilty, terrible and remorseful. I snatched my hand from his grasp and sat on my bed, covering my face with my palms.

“You know sometimes our faith is tested with tempting issues, please don’t let our relationship crumble over this little problem. I could have walked away, cried my heart out and forgotten about you but i didn’t. I easily could have waited for you to apologize, but instead i buried my pride and did the opposite. My dear what more prove do you seek concerning my love” he poured out solemnly while my heart and eyes melted.

He knelt by my side and slowly placed his head on mine, breathing heavily as he waited for me to say something.

“Alright i have heard you. Let’s continue like we used to. We both had a terrible dream yesterday that’s all, let’s forget about it” i murmured and held him tightly.

He said nothing, his happiness overwhelming him. He was a boy so much in love with me, with a kind of passion which could make any guy stupid.
Anyway i was very glad to still have him under my control.
_______
Days passed by without Emmanuel showing up nor disturbing my life. I knew perhaps he kept away because he had a very demanding Job.

Samuel and i used the opportunity to work on our relationship.

He was always by my side as if he was my shadow. I felt he still was very suspicious and doubtful about my loyalty, but i pretended not to notice. But what happened on monday, a week later was something i wouldn’t forget in a hurry. It was the day my past and present met and fought for supremacy.

A day Samuel and Emmanuel confronted each other in my room.

The earth shook, my head ached and my heart bled.

Oh what a terribly day it was!

Episode 26

SATURDAY EVENING, Days later at HOME

“A young man came here yesterday with his mum asking for your hand in marriage. He looked very serious and asked some prying questions like our culture demands” mum said to me after evening meal.

“A young man?” i asked with surprise.

“Yea he called himself Emmanuel, a very good friend of yours” mum added. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

“So what did you and dad say to him?” i asked inquisitively.

“We answered some of his questions and promised to get back at him after hearing your opinion. He then left his phone number and promised to visit within two weeks. He behaved nicely, but dear every decision is yours to make, moreover we ain’t in a hurry to get you married. By the way do you actually know the young man??” mum explained and asked with a sweet smile.

“Yea i do know him, but i still have more years ahead before thinking of marriage” i replied hotly.

“Calm down dear, like i earlier said we your parents aren’t desperate to get you married. Your dad will call and notify him” she assured me. I smiled happily,

“Thanks mum” i murmured and hugged her. But i really was no fool not to notice that she really liked him. The way her eyes beemed as she described him, displayed her mind like a chalk-board.

“Don’t worry i know you will like Samuel much more” i assured her in my mind.
_____

I travelled back to school on Sunday with Emmanuel’s issue weighing heavily on my mind. Emmanuel really came back fully prepared for me. His actions showed it all. But i had an obligation towards Samuel which i wasn’t ready to betray even if i wasn’t feeling strongly for him the way i used to.

Just like my mum promised, Dad called and informed Emmanuel of my decision earlier that Sunday before i left the house, but the smile on his face after the phone call weakened me.

“The young man said he is willing to wait forever can you imagine?” dad announced with a shrug, making my heart skip a beat.
_______

I however told Samuel everything that happened at home without mincing words when we were together later in the evening. He just kept quiet for a while, shook his head sadly and bit his lips.

“That sneaky fool” he cursed. I rolled my eyes, held his left hand and smiled at him reassuringly,

“Don’t let it bother you dear, i’m already handling the situation” i said sweetly, but he simply scoffed, made to say something, controlled himself and breathed deeply as he stared at me.

“Can i have his phone number and please don’t say know” he murmured a bit coldly. I shrugged took his phone and entered Emmanuel’s phone number in it.

“I don’t know if he still uses it. It’s the phone number he used as a student” i explained.

With a dry smile he took his phone, left the room and returned five mintues later with a weird look.

“‘Your Emmanuel is coming here by 11am tomorrow” he said quietly. My heart instantly jumped, but i quickly composed myself wondering what he was up to.
____

11:30am the next day. I sat between Samuel and Emmanuel in my room with a heavily coloured face.

Episode 27

I really didn’t believe Samuel could have the mind nor morale to invite Emmanuel in such manner and i equally never dreamt i would ever find myself in such unpleasant position.

If i had the power, i would have disappeared that moment, but i lacked such powers and so had no choice than to sit it out.

So loudly my heart pounded, so nervously i shook inside and so weakly i awaited my fate. But to my astonishment, Emmanuel just sat comfortably with a quiet smile on his face as he stared at us.
He looked very relaxed, calm and calculative.

“I had to lie and abandon my work just to get here due to the respect i have for you Mary and not because of the insultive tone and manner your so called boyfriend used in inviting me. Please i didn’t come here for a child’s play, so you guys better be serious” he said, breaking the silence between us.

My dear Samuel instantly stood up, and stared at him with contempt and hatred.

“Thanks for honouring my invitation. I invited you only for one simple reason which is to tell you in Mary’s presence to back off and leave her alone. She’s now my girl and i will forever fight for her interest and defend her. We may not have this opportunity again” he explained seriously with fire in his eyes.

Emmanuel simply scoffed, sighed and stood up.

“Is that all?” he asked, “you really have tried, thanks for trying to be a man” he muttered with a sneer, bent by my side and pecked me, before i even realised his intention. I instantly stared at him with shock and disbelief.

Samuel however was more than shocked. There was fire in his eyes as his fury rose.
The insultive calculative reply he got from Emmanuel coupled with the provocative peck he saw him give me, totally outraged and dis-organised him. Instantly turning him into a beast.

Without thinking he reached out, grabbed Emmanuel by the collar, and jerked him violently.

His action tore Emmanuel’s shirt, who instead of retaliating, smiled and shook his head.

“What’s the need in being so violent??” “incase you are not aware, better know this moment that i have much more claim over Mary than you ever will. I guess she’s yet to gist you about our dirty secrets. So my boy fighting over a woman will only send you to your grave pretty quick instead of helping you prove a point. Don’t ever dare touch me again, i’m not your mate. Mary is my wife whether you like it or not, it’s just a matter of time” he muttered, while Samuel stared at him furiously.

“You are just a shoe cleaner my boy, so better learn” he added insultively, before trying to leave. But Samuel couldn’t bear the insult any longer. He pushed him so violently that he landed on my bed and almost hit his head on the wall close by.

I clearly saw what Emmanuel was successfully doing, he was purposely provoking Samuel, but i couldn’t figure out what he planned to achieve with it.

Samuel however, expecting a retaliatory move from him, quickly grabbed a small kitchen knife lying on my reading table, making me fetch my strength and jump out of my bed.

“Samuel have you gone crazy or what? Drop that knife” i instantly barked, throwing myself at him, but unluckily he misunderstood my action and stared at me murderously

“Jeez so Mary you are now defending him, i have been the fool all along” he ranted with a raised hand which still held the kitchen knife.

I swallowed hard as i stared at him, totally disappointed. I never knew a gentle boy like him could ever turn into such an obnoxious fellow.

I sighed left my room and rushed to the general balcony, intending to clear my head there. Surprisingly Samuel followed me, breathing heavily as if he ran after a moving car.

Emmanuel also left that moment, even though i didn’t see him leave. My head really was fully heated up like a dynamite waiting to explode. I was totally upset with Samuel.

“Mary” he called out and grabbed me from behind. I instantly turned and faced him with anger.

“It’s over” i muttered coldly,

“What!” he gasped with disbelief.

“I’m dead serious, our relationship is officially over” i repeated,

“Oh Mary” he tried to protest, but i instantly freed myself from his grasp, rolled my eyes and moved to the other end of the balcony,

“Please don’t ever Mary me again, the decision has been made” i murmured coldly,

“No no no, i can’t take this, i can’t survive this, i’m sorry for going over the line, please forgive me” he apologised profusely, holding me again.

“I know we both are going to suffer over this, but it’s best for us, focus your heart on your upcoming degree exams, Perhaps things will get better for us before you are done with it” i said coldly.

“Is it a crime to defend and fight over what is rightfully mine?” he asked anxiously

“Yea it’s a crime to fight over destiny, whatever is written for us can never be changed, even if you fight a thousand times” i replied and ran back to my room.
_____________

I had no peace for the rest of that week, because my dear Samuel wouldn’t let me be. He truly was extremely hurt by my decision, he kept begging and disturbing me as if my decision would kill him, but i never yielded to his pleas nor listened to Mariam who pleaded on his behalf. It was as if my heart was on lockdown. I felt nothing and had no regret over anything.

I must confess his mistake really seemed to be the perfect opportunity that came at the right time, and i equally knew i simply was overreacting.

However his mum surprised me with a phone-call on thursday inviting me over to their family house during the weekend which i found hard to decline, because the good old lady really had been very kind to me. But as i prepared my mind and myself on Friday, rehearsing how to behave at her house, i got another strange phone call from Emmanuel’s mother seeking to have a little ‘face to face’ chat with me, else she would come calling at my lodge.

Yea i also accepted her invitation and got the directions to her house, because i preferred visiting her instead of her showing up at my lodge. But i equally couldn’t help wondering how she got my phone number.

In such a short period, i became a hot dazzling ‘must-get’ princess..

And how really did it play out?..

Hmmmm.....

Episode 28

2pm Saturday,
Samuel’s family house

“Do you still love my son?” Samuel’s mum asked seriously, scanning my face with her eyes. I breathed deeply and nodded,

“Yes i still do mum” i murmured. But my reply had no effect on her nor stopped her curious eyes from running through me.
__________
I arrived Samuel’s house quite on time that fateful day to assist the mum in preparing lunch. Something i did out of obligation and respect i had for the family.

However Samuel travelled home the previous day, expecting me to travel with him like we used to whenever i was visiting his family, but i declined his request leaving him totally surprised and scared. he feared i would embarrass him by not honouring his mum’s invitation, thus the happiness and relief on his face when i eventually showed up that fateful day.

His mum however was a bit cold and reserved as she welcomed me. I knew as a woman she really was very disappointed by my behaviour, but perhaps was forced to invite me because of her son whom she had to set aside her personal feelings to please.

“Are you really sure about that?” she asked. I breathed deeply, smiling nervously.

I really was glad she sent her son away before questioning me, something only wise mothers with good experience would do. I equally felt she wasn’t listening nor paying serious attention to my replies, but was intently examining my facial expression with each reply i gave, as if she was a mind reader.

“If you are still in love with him as you claim, why break up with him?” she queried. I shrugged, calmed my excitement before pouring out my own version of the story.

“Your story is similar to what he told me, you both made mistakes so i see no sense in your decision. My son is seriously hurting and i can’t stand it any longer. But I have ordered him never to beg you again because relationships are not built with pity but with good understanding, so tell me, how long are you willing to put him on hold and what’s your plan for the other boy?” she asked inquisitively.

“Mum whatever will be will be, i promise to work out things with your son but i need a little more time to sort myself out. I still love him” i replied, calmly avoiding saying anything about Emmanuel. She shrugged and smiled weakly.

I instantly knew she wasn’t convinced with my reply, nor did i need anyone to tell me i had failed her test. She really read through me so easily. A strange gifted woman she was.

She asked no other prying questions as i spent the rest of the afternoon with them before rushing back to my lodge amidst Samuel’s pleas. I knew the way i left without spending a single night with them like i used to, further added weight to her suspicions.

“Polluting Samuel’s mind would be her next line of action” i reasoned.

I really was unable to sleep that fateful night as i pondered over the whole affair. By 12pm the next day, i was already on my way to Emmanuel’s family house with weird feelings in my heart.

“Whatever is written can never be changed”---How foolish i was!

2pm Emmanuel’s family house.

Emmanuel, his mum and i sat at the dinning table, eating the Sunday rice before us. I was very nervous as i ate my own share of the meal, and couldn’t help praying for the lunch to end quickly.

“I’m really delighted you honoured my invitation, you can’t imagine how pleased i am” Emmanuel’s mum said to me sweetly, while I blushed and said nothing.

“We really do have a lot to talk after the meal, so relax and enjoy our hospitality” she added quietly. I nodded with a calm smile.
_________
My heart really pounded furiously as i stepped into Emmanuel’s family house that fateful Sunday. Guilt and fear totally consuming me without warning. I would have turned and ran back that moment, if not for Emmanuels mum who came out of the house, saw me and came forward happily. The joy in her eyes as she came running totally buried my guilt and fear.

“Daughter in-law” she greeted as she hugged me.
________
Emmanuel hardly touched his food that afternoon as he kept staring and pleading with his eyes, but i pretended not to notice, even though i very much understood his plight.
______
A heavy rain however started immediately after lunch. Lightening and thunder striking like madness.

“Don’t worry dear, the rain will stop before 4pm” his mum assured me with a smile as she led me to a sofa, while Emmanuel excused himself to attend to some areas of the building which was leaking under the heavy rain, leaving his mum all alone with me.

“I know all about your story with my son. Trust me if i was in your shoes, i would have poured hot water twice on him before allowing him to explain himself. I really don’t blame all you are doing to him, but i swear by my honour, my son is really suffering over this issue” she softly said, held my hand and stared into my eyes.

“No matter how hard we try to fight or pretend, the truth is that the memory of our first love affair will always remain buried in our heart. Our first love Is the root by which other relationships stand and just like a house will never stand without a foundation, our life will be meaningless without the story of how it all started. Our first relationship really shapes and dictates the direction of our future relationships. Without it, i doubt if we will ever have the wisdom nor experience to control our heart. I do know your heart is beating furiously as i speak to you and i equally know there is doubt, confusion and uncertainty in it. This is where an elder like me comes in, i will never wish you bad nor decieve you, because any agreement we arrive at will equally affect my son either positively or negatively” she lectured. I shook nervously as i listened.

“What do you feel whenever you look at him?” she asked searchingly. I swallowed hard and shook my head.

“I don’t just know ma, i can’t describe what i do feel, because it’s a mixture of hatred, compassion, fear, anger and happiness” i confessed. She breathed deeply with a smile.

“You still love him my daughter, please don’t fight it any longer” she pleaded with wet eyes.

I knew she was very right, but i instantly remembered Samuel. A boy who showed me care and love when i needed it.

“I really can’t go back to your son because i’m already with another person” i sobbed. The good old lady closed her eyes, breathed deeply and drew me to her chest

“I really do understand dear, because my sister experienced the same thing when we were teenagers” she murmured with a broken voice. I instantly raised my face and stared at her.

“Yes my dear, i speak with experience, the best you can do for yourself is to follow your heart, allow it to be the Judge. Marriage is not something built on pity nor sympathy, but something built on solid love. Please dear let my words not look as if I’m rushing you. There is still enough time for you to think over everything. I have your phone number, so reaching you won’t be a problem, but just know that if you should accept my son, we will quickly arrange the marriage ceremony in no time” she concluded with a smile, leaving me totally lost and confused.
_________
The heavy rain finally stopped around 6:15PM messing up the road and making it very unideal to thread on. I was stranded.

“Our road wasn’t this bad last raining season. It’s as a result of the red soil poured on it by the contractors handling the construction” Emmanuel explained as we stood outside minutes later.

I had insisted on leaving after the rain stopped, declining his mother’s pleas for me to sleep over, but looking at the road i knew i wasn’t going anywhere that fateful sunday evening.

8:45pm

His mum gave me an old lovely pink night wear which i really didn’t know where she got from. I thanked her, took my night bath and relaxed in the guest room.
I was swiftly carried away by my thoughts as soon as i laid down, that i never noticed when Emmanuel came into the room, nor when he sat on the bed.

“hey Mary” he greeted. I instantly sat up and stared at him suspiciously. His smile calm but intense.

“I will be heading straight to town as early as 5AM tomorrow because of my work, hope you can wake up by that time? So i could drop you at your lodge, before going for my own business, though it all depends on our road. let’s just pray the road gets a bit dry before dawn” he said calmly, but before i could reply, a heavy thunder went through instantly jolting us. Rain started dropping on the roof once again.

“Oops” he exclaimed, while i smiled, even though i had no reason to do so.

Before i knew what was happening, his lips were on mine. I unknowingly surrendered completely to him and he took advantage of me once again.

Minutes Later

We silently laid beside each other, totally exhaused and weak.

Finally the sense of deep peace that overtook us during our lovemaking quickly began ebbing away. The implications of what had happened hit home and slapped me intensely.

A tide of guilt and self loathing swept throuh me.

“I have betrayed Samuel” i sobbed.

What really bittered me the most was that Samuel never even went this far with me all through the while we've been together. He's always wished we keep the love making aspect till our wedding night. Here i am giving it freely to someone who doesn't even deserve me. I was so ashamed of myself.

Is this how my relationship gonna end with Samuel??

Episode 29

“Don’t cry my love, i know you do believe in destiny. This was destined to happen and nothing would have stopped it from happening” Emmanuel whispered to me, but i really was inconsolable because i knew what i did was beyond pardon.

“How do i face Samuel after this? How do i stand in his presence, what will be his reaction when he finds out” i wondered sorrowfully.

“Baby stop crying, the deed has already been done, it’s now left for us to mend the rest” he pleaded,

“And how do you suggest we do that?” i asked with tears.

“I’m very serious about marrying you, all i need is just your consent, leave the rest for me, it will be history in no time” he begged passionately.

“I can handle myself. I perfectly knew what i was doing when we made love”I said to myself like a lost soul.

“Oh Mary stop talking nonsense” he consoled and kissed my hair, “We are in this together, count on me for anything” he spoke calmly, making me stare into his eyes. I saw sincerity, fear and uncertainty in them.

“All i want is for you to be the mother of my children, i say this with all sincerity, open your soul to me baby. I need not only your body, but your soul and spirit as well, please make me yours” he begged.

“Emmanuel please let me be, i’m still very troubled and confused” i sobbed.

“Why is it so difficult for you to accept me my dear why?” he asked eagerly,

“Because i owe Samuel a lot, he was by my side when you abandoned me, filled my spirit when i was weak, and defended me when you weren’t there” i poured out. He instantly blushed,

“I may not be very much in love with him like i used to, but i’ll still be loyal to him till he sets me free” i added, while he stared at me with a coloured face.

“What nonsense are you saying?” he asked curiously with trembling lips,

“I’ll be very honest with him, i’ll confess everything that happened tonight once i go back to my lodge tomorrow. If he breaks up with me over it, so be it, you can then have your chance” i promised, leaving him in a terrible shock.

“Are you out of your mind or what, surely he will end things with you but i don’t think he will let you go without first breaking your head, the fury of a cheated guy is very enormous my dear, are you trying to kill yourself?, Mary what has come over you?” he asked anxiously. I smiled painfully and shook my head.

“That’s the only atonement i can offer, if he kills me over it then you know we weren’t destined to be together. Whatever will be will be, my life is already messed up, i have no reason to fear anymore” i murmured. He quietly stood up with a very terrible sick look and shrugged.

“Alright let’s see how it plays out, but my dear i think you are not okay, your grief has affected you badly” he murmured sadly.

“Whatever is written can never be changed, if something happens to me, then know it was destined to happen” i replied with a weak smile. He nervously dressed up and left without another word. So very shaken he was as he left the room that fateful night.

“MY God hope i’m not insane?” i prayed as i waited for Monday…..

MONDAY 7:15AM

Emmanuel dropped me in front of my lodge. I thanked him, opened the front passenger’s door and tried to alight, but he quickly grabbed my left hand and stared at me.

“please Mary i beg you, don’t do anything silly” he pleaded. I smiled and shook my head,

“As for my confession, i will go ahead with it. Don’t you worry about me Emmanuel, i can perfectly take good care of myself” i assured him before alighting.

Walking into my room, i rehearsed all i planned to tell Samuel. It really wasn’t easy making up my mind for such deed, but like i told Emmanuel, ‘nothing would stop me from going ahead with it’.

Just like fate would have it, i ran into Samuel at the staircase, he was going downstairs to fetch water but instantly froze when he saw me. There was suspicion and relief in his eyes as they fell on me, while i nervously returned his look and greeted him.

“Mary where are you coming from?? I know you aren’t coming from your house?” he asked inquisitively.

“Of course i’m not coming from home” i replied quietly, left him and climbed the stairs. He quickly followed me, abandoning the water he was on his way to get.

“So where went you?” he asked when we got to my room.

“Do you really want to know?” i asked calmly as i sat on my bed. He stood beside me, scanning me intently with his eyes.

“Do i still owe you any explanation concerning my movements? Isn’t our relationship officially over?” i asked with a dirty smile. He scoffed and bit his lips

“I see you are trying very much to harden your heart, no problem but i still insist to know” he muttered.

“Alright since you insist, i spent my Sunday at Emmanuel’s family house and i’m just coming from there” i opened up coldly. His face instantly coloured. There was shock, pain, disbelief and sadness in his eyes as he stared at me.

“No it’s not true” he murmured with a broken voice, sat on my bed and covered his face with his palms. He never cried out but i knew he weeped in his heart.

I stared at him clueless on what next to say nor how to behave towards him. He sat with his face covered for about fifteen minutes before composing himself and drawing close to me once again.

“Did he, did he touch, touch you?” he nervously asked. I was instantly torn between telling him the truth or lying to him. My confusion left me silent which equally confirmed his fear.

“Choi Mary, why, why nau??” he asked murderously with unshed tears melting his eyes. I was unable to stand his voice nor gaze any longer. I quietly stood up and backed him.

“I don’t deserve you Samuel, i really do care about you, but i don’t understand my flesh anymore nor the cravings in my heart. Please free yourself from this torment and permit me to get another girl for you” i prayed with a fast pounding heart. But all he did was just to shed his tears which he very much struggled to hold, silently on my bed. I was very touched and would have cried beside him if not that i wanted him to let me out of his life.

Patiently i waited for him to come around. I knew only one thing could happen that moment. Either he ends it like a man or ends up humiliating me. No matter which he chooses, i knew nothing would make him want to continue with me.

Only a woman has the ability to send a great man to his grave without lifting a finger.

“But what really took you to his house?” Samuel asked minutes later, after cleaning his eyes.

“His mum invited me for a little chat, but when i got there a heavy rain broke out and i was forced to spend the night with them” i answered calmly. He swallowed hard with pain, his eyes soaked once again with tears.

I really was uncomfortable watching him cry, i never knew guys do cry for love nor cry in such undignifying manner. Yes i was very touched, but his tears only drew out pity from me. Nothing more, nothing less.
I knew he was very hurt and disappointed, but all i eagerly waited was for him to cut the last rope loosely binding us.

“What do i do now?” he murmured unhappily,

“It’s very obvious i do not deserve you, please purge me from you heart and permit me to find a suitable girl for you” i begged calmly. He breathed deeply and covered his face again.

“Seriously Mary, i don’t know why all these are happening, we have a great relationship going between us, and now you are breaking my heart and making me the laughing stock of everyone. I hate to love you” he poured out bitterly, while i closed my eyes as his furious words registered in me.

“I gave you everything you wanted and you are now paying me back with this unjust behaviour, it’s very unfair” he cried and stood up.

I anxiously stared at him with my hopes up. I was very sure he was about leaving my life for good. My eyes melted as i watched him walk to the door. Truly he never deserved such treatment.

He silently stood beside my door with his left hand on the door knob for some minutes, before turning to face me once again. He stared intensely at me for a while before advancing towards me with an unhappy look.

“I can’t walk out from your life because of this single mistake Mary, we have been together for a long while and you haven’t given me cause to complain till Emmanuel showed up. I still do love you, let’s just forget everything and start afresh. I know you are acting the way you do because you are very confused, however i do appreciate your honesty, not every girl will confess such a horrible deed. I do prefer the devil i know than the saint i don’t know. I still do love you, let’s start all over again and put all that has happened these past few weeks behind us” he calmly said with a broken voice and eyes filled with tears, as he squatted by my side. I was deeply stunned, shocked, surprised and moved.

I never expected such response from him. It truly left me a bit relieved, disappointed and happy. Infact my confusion reached its peak that moment.

I WAS LOST

Episode 30

“No” i cried,

“Yes Mary” he murmured, holding my face with both hands as he stared into my eyes,

“You owe me this chance and a whole lot, so let’s give it another trial at least till i finish my degree exams and if things doesn’t still improve between us, you can then leave for good” he added seriously, while i swallowed hard with a deeply coloured face.

There was fear, uncertainty and disbelief in my eyes as i silently stared back at him. I lost my voice that moment because his decision totally disoriented me, though in all honesty i owed him that benefit.

“Seriously, what do i do now?” i wondered helplessly.
“Samuel won’t let me go and there stood Emmanuel behind, breathing down my neck with fire and passion. I truly felt very committed to Samuel but my body yearned for Emmanuel, leaving my spirit utterly confused and my soul lost.

I really wasn’t a girl who could afford dating two guys at the same time, something i do detest with passion, but i now found myself heading towards that dangerous path.

6:30pm

I was lying on my bed, reading a christian book on spiritual growth to calm my nerves when my phone rang. I dropped my book and glanced at my phone, it was Emmanuel calling,

“Hi i’m in front of your lodge, can you be able to come out?, the gate-man won’t let me in” he asked calmly,

“Okay, i’m coming” i replied and hung up.

Minutes later

I calmly walked to his car, opened the front passenger’s door, entered and sat beside him.

“How far?” he asked hopefully,

“Fine sha” i replied calmly,

“So how did it go?” he curiously asked, while i breathed deeply.

“I confessed to him like i promised, but instead of breaking up or getting angry, he simply forgave me and begged for us to continue with the relationship” i explained,

“Holy Moses!” Emmanuel exclaimed, snapping his fingers in disbelief.

“I seriously don’t know what to do and you already know the condition i gave you last night” i added calmly.

He strongly held my left hand forcing me to stare into his eyes.

“I'’m really way too big to be fighting for your love with an undergraduate, but i equally can’t deny what we had last night was very real. For that reason i will fight to the end just to have you, and nothing will stop me either” he murmured seriously, making me gasp.

The evening breeze blew on us as we stared at each other silently.

How do i redeem myself?
How do i untangle myself from this rope?? Or should i hang myself with it?? I wondered deeply.

____________

I really can’t believe he forgave you” he murmured, breaking the silence between us,

“Yea because he loves me a lot” i replied proudly, “i know you won’t if you were in his shoes” i accused. He simply smiled and said nothing.

“I have to get going, it’s already getting very late, i shouldn’t be out of my room by this hour” i said and made to leave, but he still held me strongly, preventing me from leaving.

“So what happens to us?” he asked curiously,

“Emmanuel abeg there is no us, i thought you promised to wait eternity for me nau? Just keep waiting even if it means waiting till next life” i said a bit coldly. My reply made him loosen his grip. I instantly snatched my hand.

“Don’t let your confusion ruin your life” he murmured coldly and looked away. I eyed him silently before trying once again to leave his car.

“Mary wait” he commanded calmly. I obeyed and stopped.

“I really can’t believe you went back to him after what happened last night between us, so you will continue the relationship with him like nothing happened between us abi?” he asked,

“Please don’t insult me” i coldly replied and tried to alight from his car, but he quickly drew forward and grabbed my left hand once again.

“What if at the end it didn’t work out between you guys? Can you live with the memory that you had the opportunity to set things right and you didn’t??” he asked, while i kept quiet, thinking over his words.

“I know you do love me, i know i still have the treasure i took away from you the very first time we had fun. Your Sam knows that, he equally knows you don’t love him as much as you love me. He equally knows he’s fighting a lost battle, and i think he is habouring something which you are too blind to notice. What will you do if he finally abandons you at a point where there is no turning back?” he asked. I silently shook nervously,

“Please Emmanuel stop talking rubbish, you are hurting my feelings” i murmured with quivering lips.

“I tell you the truth my dear, for now you may seem like the perfect choice to him because he hasn’t yet explored other possibilities, he is yet to explore the world my dear. Do you think he will ever forget the confession you made to him today?? I tell you, he will never forget nor push it away from his mind. He simply begged you because he had no choice, because he had his dignity to protect. You can doubt me, but i swear you will remember this moment in few years coming. I’m a guy and i just told you how we guys reason. Guys groom love, we don’t fall for love, but we can fall for lust. We fight most times just to protect our pride and not because we are in love” he poured out while i coloured and shook immensely. His words were hurting me, but i couldn’t find the strength to run away, my ears eagerly listened.

I have explored the world and returned because i discovered how unique you are, can you swear he will return when he graduates and stays away from you for sometime, with the memory of your exploits buried in his head?? He asked.

“I can’t lie to you my dear, i know we both love each other, but do forget the silly remark i made about waiting eternity for you. I can only hopefully wait two more weeks for you to think over all i said and decide if to continue with him or start all over with me. That’s all i can say for now my dear, so please don’t hurt our future. He concluded and prayed.

I breathed deeply, summoned up my strength, and ran out of his car without even saying good night to him.

“I now have only two weeks to make the final decision and choose between the guy i love and the guy i owe my happiness, which way??” i wondered tearfully as i ran to my room that fateful evening…
