The best feeling ever is when you find a fulfilling end to every adversary. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Then comes the feeling of joy of getting what you never thought was possible to achieve . its wonderful.

" You know I actually thought he did it" Gabriel's voice brought me back to the scene in the room.

It was a large king sized bed based upon a hard metal frame that kept it from the tiled floor. The two windows on the left and right let in the cool breeze.

I was transfered to private room in the hospital. And in that room, I had been for the past four days and my family visited me quite often.

" Andy is a nice guy. Seriously, I had doubts when those hoodlums called his name. " I said and heaved a sigh.


" He will be released from custody today " Gabriel said and took out his phone form the pockets " Oh! Jethro just texted "

He read the message and smiled , obviously he had good news to tell me. I hoped within me that Damilola had been arrested already .


He put it back into his Jean pockets and gave me a peck on the cheek. I had never thought I'd see this day come through: Where I would have him all to myself and have him love me for me. Hold him and wish time paused while we enjoyed the moment.
We were both together in the room with our son who was sound asleep on the left side of the bed near the window.
He so peaceful and calm.




" What's the good news? I asked brushing my arms round Gabe's shoulder bone.






" The police are en route to Dami's home to apprehend her"





" Shouldn't you be with them ?" I asked again feeling a bit awkward. " This is your fight "





He grasped my arms, then said softly " I've been fighting for too long, let Nature and law finish the battle"




Whatever he meant by that, it had to be very important to him. He had arrived very early that morning with David and stayed up to this point in time. I looked at the clock on the wall across the room which said 8:45 am .




" I am really grateful " I began " Thank you for coming back to us-my son and I".



" Its really noth-" he was about to say when the door flung open and a lady barged in with her daughter .




" Why won't you just die? The lady said ,looking at me with disappointment written deep into her eyes.



She was the worst nightmare I had been having in days. My fears had finally come to pass.


Gabe's phone ringed and he answered the call . After some minutes he uttered the words that had been choking him .





" Ok. I understand, She is here. Be quick"




Luckily , Gabriel stood up and confronted her. He yelled out to her and dragged her arms .



" Why do you hate me so much ?" Dami begged and struggled to break free from his grasp" Let go off my arm"



In the drama , I tried to get up from the bed and act but I was weak. The noise woke up David and he became startled , he held on tight to my bosom.




" What are you doing here ? Gabe queried and tossed a slap to her face. " Its over Dami - you can't escape the police anymore."




" No its not " Damilola said in tears " Gabe, your daughter - Funmi misses you . Please come back to us. we will disappear together , the three of us and never to come back to this place. "




" Daddy ! " OluwaFunmi began with whimpering " Please forgive mummy. I know she had hurt you , but we still love you "




Gabe paced the room and turned to me, then to Funmi , then to Damilola, she was bitterly in tears.



Why the heck was she crying?. I had disgust written all over my body. I wanted to yank up and slit her throat for the last time , and put an end to this madness. The fear in me lessened as I saw she was in a pathetic state of mind.




" Lola " I said " Or whatever you call yourself, haven't you had enough? I can still beat the devil out you, even in this condition"

" Please just die " Dami said without feelings " What are you still waiting for ?" she advanced towards me and wiped out tears off her eyes.



Gabriel gave her another resounding slap. He pushed her slightly backwards and I feared she might posses a weapon.

" How dare you say such a thing to my wife? "



" I made you Gabriel " Dami said as she scrambled off the floor " Why--why ? What did I do wrong than give you a good life and all I ever asked for in return was your care and protection for my daughter . A father figure "



" Dami " Gabriel began " I tried but , it cost me my family"


" Then marry me" she begged " Make me your second wife "




I couldn't take it anymore. I got up from the bed where I had been resting. I gave her a dirty slap that made my palm red.


" You have no shame " I said " after you tried to kill me, and you even killed my baby " I nearly broke into tears " you think you can just walk in here and everything will be fine? You must be really mad, I will poison you if I get the opportunity. You hoe!. Take your bastard somewhere else, she is not a part of this family,and will never be"



Gabe pulled me back and I felt energy leave my body. I sat back upon the bed and held my kid tightly. He was shaking with fear.Suddenly I felt pity for both children ,Dave and Funmi. The both of them had to witness this incident. It was so degrading that grown ups behaved in such disgraceful manner. What lessons did we teach our children?



" If you dont come back to me " Dami said abruptly , she held out a gun . " I will kill you Gabe. If I can't have you , Kate won't either "

Fear gripped me, and shivers ran down my spine.

" Please drop the gun " Gabe begged " you don't want to do this"


Dami pointed the gun towards me and Dave , then said " I will shoot your son and that bitch over there. If you don't do exactly as I say "


I saw Funmi's face as she trembled with fear. She moved back a little and tears clouded the corners of her eyelids.


" Mummy? What are you doing ? Funmi asked her crazy mother. She pulled her dress from behind.

" quiet, I am doing this for you ."



Suddenly, the door opened carefully and Dami didn't notice. My father came fron behind and collected the gun forcefully out of her hands.

Funmi screamed in fear.

He pointed the gun at Dami, she had her back pressed up against the wall, her daughter cluctched to her side.


" Papa , drop the gun " Gabe said calmly .

" Why? My father asked still aiming at Dami's forehead.


" The police will be here soon, please don't take laws into your hands. Give me the gun, slowly and gent-" Gabriel was about to say when he was interrupted .

" Shut up, you fool. You think I'm happy you are back with my daughter. Just like that and after all you did to her ? with this --this cheap LovePeddler" Papa said in anger .



" Papa " I cut in as things started to get steamed up "Please drop the gun .Please"


He didn't blink and he focused at Gabriel .
Dami grabbed her daughter and tried to make it for the door, but was caught.

" move one more inch " my dad said to her " you will say goodbye to earth. "

" Bolt the door " he continued " Now step back "

She fidgetted and her daughter was crying furiously.
Poor Funmi . I feared even more for Dave who was in my arms shaking.

" Papa , please stop this . Let Justice take its course " I chipped in again as I was more terrified than ever. Although I wanted him to pull the trigger, but I feared he would end up in jail.




" Keep quiet Kate" he barked " I'm doing this for you "


The door started to rattle and voices shouted from outside . I could hear Mimi and Yvonne calling out . They wanted to get in, but the door was barred . Maxwell and the doctor voices came as they tried to push the door open.


Unexpectedly, Papa and Gabriel started to struggle for the gun . Gabe struggled. Papa struggled. Both flexed muscles and Gabe had an edge but papa was more experienced than him. I was confused. Dami was confused. The people outside were equally confused, as they heard screams. I shouted out my lungs. Dave cried out. Dami shreiked out too, Funmi cried out bitterly as well.



" Stop it" I begged and cried " Please stop this"


All of a sudden




" KrakaBOOOM!!!!!!


The 9mm reported with a loud bang . Silence engulfed the room. My heart stopped momentarily.
Gabe moved backwards. He was bleeding. He had been shot in the chest. I nearly ran mad at the sight of it.



" No!!!!!!!" I cried out by a freak of impulse.

I came down to his aid and so did Dave . Papa was confused, he dropped the gun and like a possessed being, the spirit left his eyes instantly. I saw guilt in his eyes, why did he have to do this?


Gabe slumped to the floor, the bullet had penetrated his heart, and he bled out.

Dami tried to touch Gabriel, but I slapped her and she retreated speechlessly, sitting on the cold tiles. Dave was in deep shock as he grabbed my arms, he was not supposed to have lost his Dad in this manner.


"Im sorry '" Gabriel uttered with his last breathe.

I remembered Tayo's words "...You have to forgive him so that when the time comes, he will be--"




I cried out bitterly onto Gabriel's lifeless body and that moment my world became dark. The feeling clouded me and I couldn't think straight. I could feel my heart pace increase, the peace in my heart decreased.

I sparingly looked up to the clock as it struck 11 am.










Andrew



The door opened carefully and the figure that came into view was familiar. He was followed by a more familiar figure, Kemi.

" You are free to go " The constable said after he unlocked the cuffs on my arm.

The feeling of freedom and ability to move my palms freely was alluring. I rubbed my arms together and got up from the floor, the cold floor that stunk of dust and putrid urine attacked my nostrils.
I came out of the cell, and the constable pushed me slightly on the back .


" You can go on now. Your clothes are at the counter. "


I clutched my trousers together and gazed at Kemi.
She was speechless. She tried to touch me, but I drew back.


" Andy. Im sorry -- I -- I" she tried to say.



I looked at her again .I shook my head and moved past her , but her arms touched my shoulder bone.


" Please , let me make it up to you " She began " I am-- I'm in love with you"


I turned to look at her , I couldn't believe that she had the guts to say such after setting me up .


"Yes I do "she said with tears in her eyes " I did from the first day I met you"


" I'm sorry " I said " I can't love you back . My heart lies with another"


She instantly hugged me and her tears washed my dusty chest. She held on tightly and she didn't let go.

" I know " She said " but you can equally learn to love me too"

I pushed her back slightly and walked out to the counter .

" Maybe " I turned for the last time " maybe I will , but now I just want to be alone . Love is not forced , its a gradual process"


She rushed to me and held my arm. She looked into my eyes andsaid " This is where it all ends? "

" For us ? Yes , but for me , No . " I replied " I need to rediscover my life. "


********





Katherine


I realised that somethings in life are just meant to be. Even if you try so much to avoid it , it happens,even in adversary it happens.

I watched as the undertakers lowered down the coffin into the space in the ground and the priest said the prayers.

"....A time to live .... A time to die ...." those parts of his statement caught me in the neck.


I was not able to shed tears. They didn't come out, why?? I was shocked.

Andy hugged me and so did my son Dave. Mimi cried unto the shoulders of Elisha, the duo were my best friends for life.
Yvonne held onto Maxwell, she brushed her tummy carefully. She had conceived and was five weeks pregnant.



For a moment I thought if Gabriel and reincarnated and was coming back to us. No!!! it was absurd but somehow I was happy for Yvonne.

Mama held tightly to Gabe's mum as both were entwined with their arms and pools of tears washed down their faces. Everyone was in black and their faces were equally gloomy as would the cold night of winter.

If I ever fell in love again, it would take time to be true and I hoped to be in a better position to give out more, nothing feels like your first and one true love.



As the grave was covered, the impact of the sand on the coffin, made me feel like Gabriel was becoming a memory taking off and screwed deep into a container, then locked up in a stash , far away , his last words echoed into my ear, the echo of goodbye blanketed my subconscious mind , it was like a mushroom umbrella that ousted the rays of logic. A moment when Love dies..


THE END.

Chapter 16






Gabriel




The day sped fast and evening came too soon. There was little visibility outside and the pool of blood which covered Andy's face became dark maroon and clotted. He wasn't saying anything even after the torture ; the massive brutality of Jethro. In that moment I admired his courage .






" We've been on this since morning , Andy" Jethro said " just save yourself the stress. Tell me what I want to know" his voice sounded empathic this time.

Jethro faced me and shook his head. I knew from his reactions , that we weren't getting anywhere with the interrogation.
Why did this man choose to make things difficult?. Andy was either immune to torture and pain or he was too strong willed.







" Mr . Gabriel " the detective said " let's have a talk outside "

" OK. Sure "





His arms drew down his sleeves on both sides, he had sweat breaking from every pore on his skin.


He led the way and I followed , few inches away form the door, he stopped and turned to me . I shifted away from the door, and locked the hinge.





" I think I should be ---"






" be on your way now and spend time with your family , right?" Jethro interrupted me " Mr Gabriel ,... don't worry . I will handle the situation from here. His stronghold will soon break"




I nodded and gave him a casual handshake. He was good at his job and I had no reason to doubt .Nevertheless, this particular case had taken a long time to solve. I hoped he won't fail.


I took my leave and he went back into the room,through the air , I heard his voice barking again.

" Will you confess? Who did you hire to do the dirty job for you ?









Andy groaned and coughed at every blow Jethro landed on him. That served him right ! I wished , his heart bleeds with pain during the interrogation. I smiled at the thought of it.




A few minutes later , I was inside my car, which parked outside the station. I turned on the engine, I hesitated on shifting the gear to D. I thought of abandoning the car , right there and that minute , the feeling made me hate Dami even more. She had really complicated my life .


I heaved a sigh and tilted my head forward then I changed the gear box to drive.









" Gabriel..." Someone knocked on the side glass, I was figuratively startled and a jump in my heart came suddenly.








" Kemi?? " I said under my breathe .










" what do you want ? I asked while rolling down the glass.


Kemi's mood radiated seriousness and somehow, she looked pitiful. Her eyes were sorrowful, unlike her, as if she had been shedding tears . Who knows? it might be one of her numerous trickery. This lady was evil in human clothing. It would take a miracle to save her from sinister affairs .









" I have something to tell you "








" what is it?











" Andy is not the murd-- " She paused " He is innocent , I know who did it"









I became surprised and I alighted the car impulsively . I wanted to hear more, what did she mean by knowing "who did it"








" Tell me something Kemi ,what do you know? Don't play games . You know who did what??... anyways. ... I'm listening .."








" can't we at least find somewhere to seat-- " she paused when she saw my reaction " ok, we can talk here ..."


I crossed my arms and relaxed my back on the car. I was ready to listen but she better not joke around.






"OK"






" Gabe, I can boldly tell you that Andy is not behind the murder. "






" You are trying to protect your lover. Spare me the trash? I hissed and disgust boiled deep down in my stomach .

" No , not that . OK fine , believe what you want but just know that he didn't do it... It was"






She paused for the third time and I noticed her reactions again :the words choked her. Then she bit her lips, and moved her head from side to side.

In milliseconds , a siren bellowed intensively into the police premises. A group of officers alighted and the five of them carried AK 47's , each man fully armed to the teeth. They had in custody , a criminal . The last couple of them, each from both doors, carried bags of what seemed to be cocaine.







" Damilola , is responsible " kemi brought back my attention.





" You are joking " I scoffed and opened my car door" count yourself lucky that you ain't behind bars with Andrew. What sort of rubbish are you saying?"








I knew her game and I won't play along , not while her lover was involved in the gameplay.


" Gabe , please listen " She begged and pulled my arm gently. " believe me. We are not saints. I have dark sides, and so do you, but save my heart from pain.. Drop the charges against Andy and I will testify that Dami had the entire event planned. From the hit on Tayo; the private investigator she hired to install a hidden camera in your home and how she framed Andy "


I was shocked and lost of words. My knee buckled but I boiled with great anger. " wait!!! A camera in my home? You are not serious?

So Dami had been watching my very move , even when I'm in the shower? And she'd saw the invisible? No way ! The thought tormented me.


She nodded in approval like she had read my mind.. She was damn serious.


" why are you doing this? I asked " Dami is your friend . So you'd throw away your friendship for that fool in there " I pointed towards the police entrance.



" I love him " she continued " And I know you loved your wife too... I'm sorry for your loss but help me out here. Let's make the real culprit pay. Don't let Andy pay for a crime he didn't commit. Please, I'm begging you "











I had heard enough and I was convinced, it wasn't easy to understand but I could not believe that my so-called employer had been behind every setback in my life. I should have known ..

I took out my phone and dialed the detective's number and after a long discussion we reached a consensus ; a perfect line of action .

















Katherine






I was happy to see my entire family smiling and cracking jokes , even in the face of disaster and too many setbacks. They behaved like nothing had ever happened and that act really made my day.


Mimi cuddled my little boy and he laughed at her every tickle. She brushed his hard but curly hair and pulled his nose " Big baby " Mimi said " See your long nose and pink lips -- should I apply lipstick on the lips?








" No !!! " Dave exclaimed " I'm not a girl!"







" Are you sure? Are you sure " Mimi's arms tickled his waistline and he jerked " Are you--- short?"






" Aunt Miriam " Dave begged and jerked " stop .. Please ..awwww...ohhh ...mummy!! "
He laughed with so much happiness and joy, watching him made my heart glad..




Mama and Papa were together, arms locked and smiling at each other. Yvonne and Maxwell were always the happy couple...






" Cupcakes " Yvonne said sheepishly " I'm hungry , get me something nice and tasty "




" How many times will you eat in a day? You just took snacks a minute ago, your name should be changed from Yvonne to " Feed On".





" uhnnnnnn!!. Cupcakes, Stop fooling around . I'm hungry "






" Maxwell , " Gabe's mom cut in " So you are not taking good care of my daughter ? Eh? "





" Mama. Don't mind her, she eats like an overgrown baby" He continued " I give her all she asks for, but this , Nah! Not now.. She should be taking care off me, not the other way round."





Mimi put up her head from the bending position it had been . Max's words had spiked her response mechanism. She stopped tickling David and analysed the statement .


" Maxwell ? Where is it written : that only the lady takes care of her family? You men make it sound like its a duty she must uphold , what ever happened to being romantic and lovely?
I hope you won't become Gabriel Number 2."

She frowned her face momentarily after saying that and then put up a cheerful look .








" awwwnnn, that was so harsh " I blurted out , but deep down in me, I knew I was lacking that love and romance.



" Where the hell was my husband , for Christ's sake? I thought so loud that my head nearly burst with pain and the bandage became heavy.





" ouch" i groaned in pain..












I felt dizzy and my head spined literally and I rotated on the sick bed , from side to sides, successively tilting my muscles in pain.



" What is wrong ? Papa asked .


"Nothing "





" Max , call the doctor " Papa ordered " something is wrong"





" Don't " I cut in " I'm fine "




The door opened and I saw him . I fell in love all over again. He was so handsome and I thought I wouldn't see his face again. His broad chest and his pink lips, those hard but curly hairs.

He greeted everyone and I admired his respect for both young and old. He suddenly changed for the good.





" Gabriel !!! Love " I heaved a sigh and my eyes became heavy.








" I'm here" he came forward , grasped my arms and planted a kiss on my forehead , then he continued" Im here."


" Don't leave me again please " I said with tears clouding at the corners of my eyes"


" I won't. " He began "Love , I want to tell you something ....its --" he paused "


" Shhhh!!!! Whatever it is ,It can wait " I placed my finger on his lips .




" It has to be now --"




I already knew what it was. I was just pretending to be unaware, and ready to act surprised if need be, just as Tayo had insisted .



" Give him a chance " A voice whispered in my head.










" Kate , I'm sorry for everything that has happened . Ive put you through a lot of trouble and I'm sorry about it . I was bad and yelled out on you . I promised you a happy life, but in the process, I took a turn left and went out of my way, almost committing adultery. For the sake of wealth , I did things I regret so dearly...I pretended to be the father of a little girl " he paused and looked at every one in the room , then he continued with his valedictory speech " The little girl isn't mine . I only pretended and lied to her. To everyone of you "







Gabriel turned and faced me as he confessed genuinely
".. Kate , those awkward moments when I was not the best hubby and I'm away , even when you needed me most, like the case Dave 's birthday. All that stops today and on this special day, I --"








He smiled and brought out a gift card , accompanied by chocolates inside a bag he had. He put them into my palms.






" love " He continued " Happy anniversary. In front of everyone, here ,present today , I renew my vows to you, I promise to be faithful, henceforth - I ..."


"I will always be there for you. " I joined him and our voices became one in the solemn promise" .... Even when the world is against us, I will stand by you , love you and cherish you; in health and sickness; in wealth and poverty, till death do us part, "













I was happy and tears broke out from my eyes.

Everyone in the room where I was stationed , became emotional and Mimi cried out tears of joy, she shed it uncontrollably .



"Awwwww!!! So touchy " She blurted and turned to Dave " Come here , give aunt a big hug.. I know, aunty loves you too"


I wanted to hear more honest confessions . I looked deep into his eyes, I hoped he would thread on calm waters .

He kissed my lips and his arms stroked my hair in the most romantic way . I discovered that the love I had for him was far from over, it just got renewed and I could not wait to be in his arms again: happy and blissful.

Chapter 5






Izzy



I took a deep breath and looked round the faculty building. The trees that frictioned the wind 's flow ,made the atmosphere chilly and I wrapped tightly into my leather jacket. Cars aligned in a dynamo pattern and students wandered around the parking lot.


" Bae of life " A voice called out and I swirled to see who it was.





" What's up Dani. " I smiled and gave him a soft peck on the cheek.




"Hmm!! " He said and grinned.





His hair style was rebranded and still had that sheen of neatness and black tone, right from the top of the scalp to the carved sides.
His cute and smooth face resonated with the wave particle his body physique emitted- slim but fitted and muscular shoulders. He was my Mr. Romantic.





" What are you hmmming for? Because I pecked you? I should have even kissed , because these girls around " I pointed to no one in particular . " I don't trust them "





" Don't worry , None is as beautiful as you are "



He planted a kiss into my lips , it was breathe taking and I felt so shy but what the fuvk. Who cared ?


He looked me in the eye. " I don't care about them. I only see you, and you alone. "




That was so touching, it really felt like the entire world had been given up for my taking. And this cute rich boy , made me feel so lucky to have him in my life. He had no idea how much he meant to me, I wish I could just say it out , but no way , I'm not going to look cheap.





" Where is you car? I said , instead and dusted something off his shirts.





" Over there ," he pointed " I horned but you were too busy with your thoughts or whatever you did to hear me. "




" Seriously ? I was surprised indeed and I pat him on the shoulder, with a sheepish smile



He nodded and stared blankly into my face . He wanted to any something , but it didn't break free from his lips.




" What ? I asked " why the look?




" Did you see my calls? I called like five times before I decided to come over. What's wrong?




I never missed his calls intentionally, except I had a little lesson to teach him. The same reason he valued me, and held my opinion in high esteem.
I took my phone out of my hand bag and saw his calls. Not my fault, the phone had been in silent mode.



" I thought it was-- " I said and paused " just forget


"


" Tell me, I want to know "






" Dani, " I began "That military officer that saved me the other day."

" what about him? Dani asked




I sighed and frowned all I could, before letting the cat out off the bag , or no, I actually said what I felt was right.

" He wants to see me and he requested I meet him at main gate car park."



" Why not hear him out , what are you afraid of?







I stood from the seat and paced up and down . I looked up to the green leaves of of the tree which sheltered us. *Why were guys so irrational and self centred ? I thought and heaved a sigh.










" Dani, its not as if , I don't want to meet him"




" So what? Come on let's get going. " He cut in and grabbed my hand bag, he walked to his Toyota Camry ( 2016 model).

He momentarily turned and took the ear buds he had been listening to all through , - he was a lover of music - and then he said " Get your pretty ass over here, or else"




" Or else what? I interrupted and put my arms in my jacket , i walked towards him and my gown glided with the wind, just a little above my knee.




" Eh?? Or else what? " I continued with a smile " What will you do ?

" I will tell all these people that you are the best chick ever, and " he continued " I will brag about your cleavages and your wonderful cat "

He winked .

" I don't have a cat"

" Oh you do ! He demonstrated and said " A very hairless one. So smooth and meaty "

" Oh God ! I said with shock and shivers ran down my spine ," You this boy, your mind eh!!! You won't do that . Dani, if you try it , I will just kill you here and kill myself "

"Double wahala for deadyyyy body " he sang and ignited the engine, while I pulled his collar and slapped him softly on the cheek. He was my baby , I heart him scatter.

Ade was not in the best mood. He had been waiting for over two hours and I had a moment of empathy and pity for him. Then cap it all,with my sudden appearance with a guy- he nearly melted into acid with anger .

" What kept you ? He said in a horse tone." I have been here for ages"



" I was very busy" I blurted.



He sighed , then looked at Daniel, who sat comfortably in his car, and chew a gum like the president's only son, with his left leg stamped onto the bitumen floor and the other perched on his car's clutch.

" So that's the reason why you wasted time?


" Really? Bros, I have no obligation to you .You saved my life, fine and good but what else do you want than a "thank you?. The thought ravaged me but I let it pass .

" He is my fiancé " I said without thinking " He is-"

I was about to say when Ade cut me in with a bark " cut the bull crap. Okay . Izzy story is all this things you are doing and saying. Stop what you are doing and listen to me, will you?

Why did this guy just say? He didn't make any sense at all? I wondered if the text message he had sent, earlier, was typed by a paid mercenary.
I processed the statement in my brain again and shook my head, as I couldn't comprehend it"

" What do you mean, please? " I asked and heaved a sigh " please I am very busy, I have classes, what do you want?




" I want to take you out on a date ? Let's spend so- " he barely finished when I walked out on him


Truth be told, I was afraid and I recognised where I was. At the car park with this untamed beast in human form.
* Too late for apologies now.. I had already turned.I hope he doesn't bite.*









" I'm talking and you are walking" he grabbed my arms...









Efua


He took the bottle of Miranda and sipped the last drop. The empty bottle rested on the table where he kept it. And he probably thought deeply about my question , I waited for an answer.





" well, let me say " he began " I don't know what the guy has in mind, but for certaity reasons, im aware that men are often irritated with stuff like that"





" So what should I be doing ? I can't pretend to be who I'm not. " I chipped in " To be honest , Nosa is a pain in the ass and he is too filled up of himself ."




I munched the meat pie in my mouth and took a sip of the soft drink in front of me. We had gone to the office's canteen , myself and Uyi , but our loving housemate branded us fugitives and as such didnt hang out with us.



I looked at the big wall clock and shook my head , sniffed then, said " Funny how time flies"





" Yea, what about it? Uyi asked





" Nothing exactly . But-- just forget "



I thought about my parents and my cousin Izzy, especialy her. Then I thought about Nosa, the mysterious guy who gave me goosebumps. The feeling was strange, I had no idea what it was called . But I was afraid to even want it at all.





" Don't worry, " Uyi said while he left his seat, he paid for his drink and lunch. " I will talk to him . See you later ,Efua"




He left , pushing the glass door open and I hastened up with my lunch to get back to work.




" He is so horribble..Oh God " I screamed out loud ,in my head, and wished I could just air it into words.. The thought about Nosa drove me crazy .






" Snap out of it . " I cautioned myself .








Just then , the glass door opened, again and this time, it was the "Prince " himself .

My heart raced . Efua what is wrong with you? An inner voice asked.

He greeted his friends, he shook them casually . He turned to the hotelier and ordered for soft drink and sausage roll.







" And ehm , add that buns over there making it tw--" he paused when he saw me.



I buried my head and eyes for a moment under my cap. Then I raised it and entwined into a gaze duel with him.






" -making it what? " The hotelier asked as she had an arm in the show glass containing snacks " Oga...corper ? "





" just forget it " Nosa blurted and walked to the door.

" Why ?


" Because , I lost my appetite and I just saw a bug here " he said without looking back.






Minutes later....



I blocked the front door of the work agency - our ministry .He must tell me why he treated me like a fugitive, an outlaw, the evening was not going to be so cool, if he didn't clear the air with me.



" Nosa ? Please wait " I called him when he walked past me .




"'What is it?




" Please... Are we in any way quarrelling? Why have you been avoiding me through out today?



He smiled then frowned again " I have better things to do than , quarrel with you. And excuse me " He walked out " if you don't mind , I have an appointment to grace with my presence."




****

I pushed the door open and what my eyes saw, I found unexplainable.

Nosa was busy making out with a girl , I had seen her before. A fellow corp member.






" Urghhh !!! Yes. Yes there, mmmh ..there, harder.! " she screamed in ecstasy and my eyes popped out .

Nosa sat on the chair and his--- oh my !!! It was horrible to describe,, the girl was on top of him and she --- oh no!! No!!! I'm did not see them , I hoped it wasn't real. God of Isreal! They were having sex in the living room ?





" Jesus Christ ! I exclaimed and closed the door. They hadn't seen me come in, but the jammed door and my voice were wake up calls.



Having said that, I walked past them immediately and looked away.





" I told you we should enter your room" The foolish girl said to Nosa .




What I saw , was unbelieveable . Oh God , my eyes had been subjected to evil scenes and temptation. I quickened my steps and walked right into the corridor.






" Blood of Jesus " I repeated the statement in my mind....





TBC.

Gabe story tire me tire

That's my problem there.......why is he forcing the matter knowing very well he's clean. He knows already that Andy has nothing to do with anything. Instead of admitting to his mistakes and having dummy on stand he's still playing games.

Annoyance

Its obvious I lost the plot long time........attaching emotions to the whole Gabe Dummy thing.

I'm speechless..... :x Eyah.. emotions sha..... " hmmm

fam24:
I felt it that Kemi meeting with Andy was a set up. Kemi and Dami, I hope you two reveal out your secrets about each other in public and rot in hell.

Kemi, think, think, which criminal(s) call their boss or sender his original name (not nick name), not to talk of at a crime scene.

Gabriel, trying to behave like he cares. I see him just been jealous and getting an opportunity to deal with his rival. The same family he neglect and put out to harm, is what he thinks he is fighting for.

Police, as usual, after collecting bribe, can't think, want to quickly round up the case and pin it on someone. Even after the lie detector shows he is saying the truth, you still keep torturing him. Abusing his human right, he is not guilty until proven by the court of law and he is entitled to a lawyer. I hope Andy sue that detective when he comes out of this.

Andy, hold on strong.

Oga Creeza, I greet you o.

Thank you ,
