....... ***** My games with Nelson continued, i wasnt ready to forgive him yet, he had begged and begged, Chy has also joined in begging me, but i needed to get to the root of all these,

I wanted to return to the hostel but he begged me to stay with him, even though i don't talk to him.


It was on a Saturday morning ,i wanted to visit the salon later inthe afternoon, i woke early and cleaned the house with the servant,i went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast but he was already in the kitchen preparing it, i turned and left,




I bathed and dressed up, ready to go to the salon,i came down and met him sitting down on the dining waiting for me.

"Baby, i've been waiting for you, i prepared this breakfast specially for you," he said romantically

"Thank you,..... But i'm not hungry"

"You've not eaten this morning, and you're saying that you're not hungry,.........." he looked at me and saw i was dressed to go out... "and where're you going to, i know you don't have lectures today,"


"I want to see a friend, from there, i'll go to the salon for a change of hair"


"Good then, i'll drop you off, let's eat together, then i shower and we go,....... I can be your driver for today..." he smiled


"I'm already late, i've called a cab"

I remembered my phone, i searched my handbag for my phone but it wasnt there i went upstairs to check in the visitor's room that is now my new room,


I hurriedly entered the room and forgot to lock it as i used to do,

Nelson followed me but i didnt know, immediately i entered the room, he followed suit and locked the door, i was startled


"Ooh, Jesus, it's you, pls open the door for me, i'm running late...... I told him grabbing my phone


" I'm sorry love, i wont open this door until we settle our scores........ He put the key inside his pocket


"Nelson for the last time, open the door!!,... I'm in no mood for pranks"

"Neither am i,....... Ever since you saw Lizzy on my bed, you 've been acting strangely,... You' ve refused giving me a listening ear, you've been cold to me,.... For how long will you continue this.............. You now hang out with Maxwell,.. You think i wouldnt know,


"....... At the mention of Maxwell, my heartbeat increased, how did he know about Maxwell, did Chy tell him?, i've been careful with my outings with Maxwell.....




" Who told you about Maxwell? "


"Look at you, you think i don't know Maxwell,.... For your information, Maxwell is my friend,... Though he's proud, arrogant and rude, we grew up in the same neighborhood,..... Chy didnt tell you,..... She knows Maxwell, she only follows you out on my instructions, i told her to always keep an eye on you........ She told me about Maxwell..... "

" I confronted him and told him you're my fiancee, and should stay away from you.... Have you wondered why he stopped calling you.........

"Baby pls i'm sorry for everything, if you want me to kneel down, i can do that right now,.........." he knelt down immediately

"It was that night you sent me out of your room, i couldn't bear seeing you in pains, i ended up in a beer parlour, i drank myself to stupor, then i saw Lizzy, she pretended to be friendly, she offered to help drive me home because i couldn't see clearly,"
" that was all i could remember"


" Then i woke up the next morning to see her lying on my bed. Baby i never cheated on you."


I couldn't bear seeing him like that, i realized my mistake

"Baby i'm sorry, i was only shattered because of what i saw, my heart was broken, i decided to take revenge on you........ Maybe i went too far...... I apologized


He stood up and hugged me, i've missed his hug, he kissed me deep, the kissing became tensed, i couldn't control myself,

We didnt know when we fell on the bed,he continued kissing me



"Baby i missed you so much" he said amidst kiss

"I missed you too," i responded



He removed my top, then my bra,my innocent breasts were standing erect,he kissed me on the neck, then he descended on the nipple, he sucked the tips of my breast, i was enjoying every bit of it,


We forgot our promise of no sex till after marriage,we didnt know how we removed our clothes, Nelson was ready to ride inside me,

I opened my legs wide enough for him to penetrate.



He meant to enter me when a loud knock on the door brought us back to our senses.


,"Who's that " Nelson asked angrily




" Oga abeg no vex, na me", that was the servant, Edet


" What do you want "


" Abeg, help me tell madam say the cab man wey she call dey outside, he said make she do fast, as he get another appointment "he informed us


" Oook, tell him to wait for her"

He climbed down and wore his clothes and i did the same, we were both laughing at ourselves.
"This boy is a big fool, how could he bang on your door as if he shares the room with you"


"He's used to knocking like that, i forgot i called the cabman"



"Let me discharge him"

He returned some minutes,

....... "I gave him some money, and told him you had a change of plan"

"Thanks dear" i told him

"Baby, pls can you move back to our room,i cant stay there anymore without you."


...... Mmmmmmm, i still need to think about it,with what happened just now, i cant move into that room oo"


"Then i'll carry you into the room" he bent to carry me but i ran out of the room to his bedroom,then he followed me.

"Baby, i'm so hungry, let's go and enjoy our cold breakfast," he said jokingly


"Me too, i'm hungry" i yawned


"So you're this hungry, and you were doing shakara ontop my food"


"leave me joor"


I was so happy that i'm at peace with my love, i wish this moment will last forever,


We ate our breakfast together, we fed each other, we played while we eat.


. After eating, he bathed and we left for the salon.

CONTINUATION

"Baby , there's this new salon in town, i want us to check out,it's a unisex salon, you will love it."

"Ook, i cant wait to see this new place you're talking about,"


He packed infront of an exotic salon, the exterior was wow, i wondered how the interior would be.

He went to the male section to cut his hair, while i went to the female section,


Their service was wow, the manager was doing a great job, they started working on my hair, i saw a familiar figure in the salon, she was backing me,

"Is this not Lizzy?, i dont know why i see this anywhere i go, "i thought to myself,

I wish i saw her earlier, i would've left the salon.

The stylist was still working on my hair when she walked up to me,

. " Hello Amaka, nice to see you again, you're upgrading rapidly, imagine making your hair in this expensive salon," she tried taunting me

I ignored her,

"why are you suddenly quiet?, i thought you're a tigress?,........ I'm sorry you 've broken up with your boyfriend, guess you' ve gotten yourself another rich guy,........... I'll soon come back to Nelson 's life, it's just a matter of time"


I still ignored her, then a woman sitting next to me was irritated with her already, then she spoke up


"Young lady.... Are you not too big for this rubbish?, You want to fight dirty in public because of a man,........ The person you're talking to doesnt seem to have your time, yet you're still blabbing,........... I'm sorry your mother didn't train you well, "


I saw how embarrassed Lizzy was, she eyed me and went back to her seat, i turned to the elderly woman


" Thank you so much mummy, i really appreciate,....... I dont know if it's a crime to fall in love again........ Ever since i met my boyfriend, i've known no peace in my life........ I started weeping remembering mummy Amanda,"


"It's ok my daughter, it's not a crime to fall in love,just stand by your love, love conquers all,"

"Thank you so much ma"


That was how i met Aunty Adanna,

We chatted in the salon, Lizzy would always eye me, and we would laugh at her.

"Baby, are you not yet done with your hair, i finished some hours ago, yet you're still not yet done,"


"Baby pls give me just twenty minutes" i begged him

I turned to introduce him to aunty Adanna


"Mummmy mee........., "She's no more there, haba, she was right here with me, how come she left, i was still thinking of what happened to her when Lizzy walked up to us


" Hello, Nelly boy "she greeted Nelson

He ignored her,

" I thought you two have broken up, "she asked amidst tears

Nelson bent over and kissed me on the lips,

" As you can see, your plans didn't work out, we didnt break up, we're still together, "

" So this is how you want to embarrass me in public "


" You're the one embarrassing yourself, why not just walk back to your seat and finish your hair".......... He turned to me........ "baby i'll be waiting for you, make sure you make necks bend with your new look... I love you......"


Lizzy shamefully walked out of the salon.

He went back to the male section,.


I didnt see aunty Adanna again, i was surprised at her sudden disappearance, but i didnt pay much attention to that.


In thirty minutes, my hair, my lashes and my nails were done, i was looking beautiful in my new look, Nelson couldn't hide it, he couldn't stop praising my beauty.



............... December is here again, preparations were being made for my uncle's burial, Mummy Amanda said she doesn't want to see me again, sometimes i tried calling her number, but she ignores my calls, Nelson told me to give her some space, and i'm doing just that.

I don't fail to ask Chy about her anytime she returns from weekend, she has banned me from visiting her home.


I decided to confide in my mother, i was ready to tell her all that has happened, but that would be when i return home for the xmas celebration. My introduction is scheduled for 3rd January..



"I went to collect the cloth i would use for my introduction and ime ego from my tailor, when i pumped into a familiar face.





" I've met you somewhere, "she told me


I tried to remember, then i screamed


" At the salon!,.......... Actually... You scared me... You disappeared like a ghost, i wanted to introduce you to my fiance, but you were gone before i could do that,.......... You didnt even bother for my name or address......" i couldn't stop talking because i was excited to see her



I don't know why I trust this woman, i see aunty Amanda in her, she was just like a mother to me.



"I'm sorry dear, i had an emergency and left,"


"No problem, so i where're you going to?, "i asked her

" TO my house,i was on my way home before you saw me, "



She dipped her hand inside her purse, and gave me her address, and complimentary card,


" Call me whenever you need my help, dont hesitate to call me anytime you need someone to talk to. "

" Yes ma"

I watched her entered her jeep and zoomed off.



When i got to the lodge, i told Chy about aunty Adanna


"Amy, to tell you the truth, you need to be very careful with this your new woman friend,..... I dont trust that woman for anything though I've not met her" Chy told me


"You'll fall in love with when you see her,..... I'll call her tomorrow."


"For what?" are you that jobless? "


" "Just to say hello, it's a harmless call, "


" Just be careful, dont call me when you're in danger ooooo, "Chy warned me

Chy left the room to meet her fiance in a five star hotel



I decided to call aunty Adanna since Chy is not around.



I called her, she was surprised to hear from me, she invited me over to her place in two days time, i kept it as a secret and didnt inform Chy about my proposed visit.

Hey lovers of literature, i want to start a story, pls this is my first story, i need your comments, correct my errors.Thanks so much and may God bless u all as you read it.
CHAPTER1
I had slept off like a new born baby and didn't know when it was morning, i was still sleeping when my mum returned from morning mass and was shocked to see that i'm yet to sweep the compound. My mother who was already angry rushed into my room shouting my name, "Amaka!, Amaka! Why is she still sleeping by this time of the morning ,she thought to herself" immediately i heard my name i woke up and ran outside to meet my mum. "mama good morning, i'm sorry i woke up late" my mum didn't allow me finish before she embraced me and started checking my body temperature to know if i'm sick, "i'm not sick mama,i only over slept," i said, my mother did the sign of the cross and told me to carry on with my morning chores which i started doing immediately with so much joy.
***** I'm the only child of my mother, my father died when i was still a baby, my mother took it upon herself to train me, my uncles took all we had except our house and a small portion of land where we farm, i'm still grateful to them. My mother refused to marry again after my father's death, i always stayed with her to make her happy. My maternal aunty wanted to take me to Lagos where i'll continue my schooling, but my mum refused saying she needs me around her. My mother is very beautiful and hardworking, she worked so hard to make sure i lacked nothing. I grew up to be very close to my mother. My village is not far from the city, everybody wanted their children to school in the city. Immediately after my primary school in the village community school, my mother enrolled me into secondary school in the city. I grew into a very pretty girl. I am chocolate in complexion, i have a smiling oval face with a long black hair, in j. S. S, 3,men has started disturbing my mother for my hand in marriage, my mother swore over her dead body will she do that, i studied really hard to make my mother proud. Thank God i'm blessed with intelligence too. I never allowed all these attributes enter my head. I respect my elders, i turn down my admirers politely. Every mother in my village wanted me as a daughter in law, but i had my dreams, the dream of furthering my education to the University.
I wake up early everyday to be able to catch the early morning bus going go the city, this was how i struggled until i finished my secondary education.i have just finished writing my WAEC exams and has been helping my mother out in the farm. ****
Immediately i finished my morning chores, i warmed our left over soup and called my mother to eat her breakfast, i served our food in the sitting room, and sat beside my mother to enjoy my akpu and bitterleaf soup, my mother has taught me to avoid talking while eating, we ate our food in silence until the sound of her phone broke the silence, i rushed to where her phone is and checked the caller, it was aunty Amanda, i gave the phone to my mother who had already washed her hands,"give me the phone "i gave her the phone and continued with my food, i watched my mother talk with so much joy, i heard aunty Amanda telling her that her family will all return for the xmas celebration, i went to refill my drinking cup when i heard my mother scream, i ran back into the sitting room to meet my mother laughing, i heaved a sign of relief and went back, immediately my mother ended the call i couldn't wait to ask her why she was screaming i called her calmly "mama," she looked up and eyed me, she knew i wanted to hear the gist but wanted to keep me in suspense, i allowed her finish eating before i went to meet her, we were sitting outside our balcony picking our beans for lunch, "mama, how's aunty Amanda and her family doing?" i asked trying to bring in the screaming part. My mother looked at me"amibo, i know you wont rest until you hear everything , my dear, Amanda is very lucky, her family is blessed, she said they will all return for the xmas celebration. "she stopped and continued with what she was doing" mama i heard those ones already, why did you scream? "i asked a bit angry," oooooh that, my daughter, God has really blessed Amanda, her first son Nelson returned from US and she wants him to settle down."i didnt allow her finish with the gist when i hissed, i didnt know when i did that, my mother too was shocked cause she knows how much i love Aunty Amanda "bia Amaka, what was that for?, are u quarelling with your aunty?" nooooo, it's just that i thought there's something more important she said"i replied faintly, "mmmm, anyway Amanda promised to bring a lot things for us" immediately she said that i brightened up and smiled "i know that's what you wanted to hear" , my mother said smiling, pls my dear continue with this let me rush to ur uncle 's house and know why he summoned me. "she said standing up to leave." but mama why cant he come here and discuss whatever it is with you than you going to his house"my mother looked at me, "my daughter let me just go, i don't want him to report me that i disrespected him" ok bye.
I watched my mother leave our compound, i kept on wondering why uncle Amobi summoned her, i don't trust that man, i knew he has always liked my mother, i have caught him several times staring at her buttocks, i believe he has ulterior motives behind leaving our house and farmland to us, the thought of my uncle's summon couldn't leave my mind, i remembered aunty Amanda and her children, i hissed again, i don't know why i don't like her children, maybe it's their attitude.
****Aunty Amanda is my mother's childhood friend, they grew up in the village and attended the same primary and secondary school, they were more like sisters, they did everything together, Aunty Amanda got married to a very rich man in Lagos, her husband is also from our village, many rich men came to ask for my mother's hand in marriage but she refused because of the love she had for my father.My parents lived in the village and was very comfortable with life until death took away my father. Aunty Amanda has been a source of help to us, she made sure we lacked nothing, her husband has been good to us, she has begged my mother to move to Lagos but my mother who is used to village life refused, i have always wanted to go to Lagos but my mother will never hear of such. Aunty Amanda has four children :her first child Nelson, her second child, Chioma, her third child Chizara and the last Kingsley. Her children doesnt like mingling with other children in the village except the rich ones that also came from the city, as young as they were, they can drive, you can never see them walking or talking to village children like us, i maintained my distance with them, i only visit to see their mother and leave immediately, Nelson love having fun with his rich friends, he is a tall handsome boy, he is also fair complexion, all the village girls wanted him as their boyfriend, but he doesn't notice their presence, i met him last when he was in his second year in the University abroad and i was in ss1,his sister Chioma was in SS1,Chizara was in jss3,kingsley was in jss1.i never knew how saucy Nelson was, until the day i came to collect my Christmas present from aunty Amanda.
Their house is among the magnificent houses in my village with a big black gate, they have a gateman that does his job well, there is a swimming pool in their house, they have three maids, they have everything at their beck and call. It was on xmas eve that aunty Amanda called my mother and informed her of their arrival, she also told me to come and pick what she bought for us. I left our house with joy and ran to her house, on reaching there, i knocked at the gate and the gateman opened the gate, he recognized me and ushered me in, as i was about entering the house i heard a loud voice talking to the gateman angrily, "Suleman, who did you open the gate for? the gateman was about answering him when he saw me, he walked up to me," hey girl, who are you looking for? I looked at him and called Nelson, immediately i called him, he flared up and started insulting me, "ooh, u came to look for me, are u not ashamed of urself coming to my home to woo me ,shameless village girl, am I the only handsome nigga in this village?" OMG, look at how she 's smelling?you couldnt bathe before coming to see your crush! "That was when i remembered i was about bathing before Aunty Amanda called my mother, i dropped my bucket of water and dressed up and rushed to their house, but i' m not smelling, i couldn't talk, i was speechless, only drop of tears could be seen in my eyes, he turned to the gateman to mouthwash him"Suleman, are you this dumb? How can you be so stupid to allow this dirty girl into my house "i turned to leave and saw aunty Amanda standing beside the house, i ran to her and hugged her, i cried like i've never did in my life, Aunty Amanda hugged me tight, and turned to her son," Nelly why are rude to Amaka? Don't you she's the daughter of my best friend? Why are you always like this, she turned to me and comforted me, she told me to ignore all he said, i nodded my head, she then turned back to her son, "and you, who told you, she came to look for you? I called her to come and pick what i bought for them for xmas. Nelson laughed" ooh, she's not just a village flirt but also a village beggar "his father came to my rescue immediately and gave him a thunderous slap" shut up young man, is this how i brought you up? Now apologize to her "his father thundered, " but dad " he tried to talk but his father cut him short" if you don't apologize to her right now, i'll cancel all your trips abroad next year"he fired back"i'm sorry "that was the last word he said and entered inside. Aunty Amanda was really sorry for all that happened, she gave me enough food and presents for us, she begged me not to tell my mother what happened, and i promised her never to do that, after that day i dreaded going to aunty Amanda's house, and that was the last time i saw Nelson. ****
Now, he's back!!!

..... ******* "Good day ma," i greeted aunty Adanna.

"Good day my dear,..... Hope it wasnt stressful finding my address,?"


" Noo,not at all, the cab man did a good job"

"So what can i offer you"?

" Anything soft, "

She called her maid to get me a glass of juice.


My drink was served, we chatted as i sipped my drink


" So my dear, how's your boyfriend doing?, "


" He's fine ma,.... We're preparing for our Introduction /Ime ego,......... "


She nodded her head

" That's nice, So when is it coming up? "

" January............ "


My phone started ringing, i checked the caller ID, it was Nelson , i picked it immediately


" Baby i'm coming to pick you, where're you? "


" Aaaah, baby i'm sorry i didnt inform you, i went to visit a sick friend, i'll be back shortly "i lied again


" Hmmm, who's this friend of yours that i don't know,.......... Anyway, take care of yourself, call me when you're back... i love you "



" I will" I love you too"


" Why did i lie to Nelson?, why am i lying about where i was, what if something bad happens to me here, who will know where to come for my rescue........ I've been so stupid.... " i thought to myself


"You two must be truly inlove,........ I've had such an experience when i was your age."


"What about your family?", i asked her looking anxious, "

She only has her pictures hung on the wall, i couldn't see a family picture, my curiosity about her family rose.





" My husband is late,i removed his pictures from the house because it reminds me of his painful death,..... "She wiped the tears from her eyes,


" pls i'm sorry for reminding you of your late husband, what about your children"


"They're all in school, i have four kids, they're all grownup..... They visit home when they're on holidays."


"I'll always visit you to keep you company,"


"Thanks so much my daughter, from today i'll call you my daughter."




.......... Aunty Adanna became my comforter, i always visit her whenever there's something troubling me, she took me like a daughter and i took her like a mother,

I kept all these secret from Nelson and Chy.




..... I was in Nelson's house on a Saturday morning when i heard the security man greeting someone,

I peeped out of the window and saw aunty Amanda looking so worried, i rushed outside to meet her.

"Good morning mummy," i meant to hug her but she pushed me aside

"I've warned you to stay away from my son, but you've refused to listen to me, i'll make life miserable for you in this Lagos before you return to your village,....... Pls where's my son?,... I need to see him"she was looking so furious...

She rushed inside the parlour, and met Nelson rushing down to know where the noise is coming from.

"My son,.... My son.... Hope you're alright?",

We were surprised at her display of emotions


"Mummy stop,.... What is wrong with you?,... I heard you shouting at Amaka downstairs, what has she done to you?


She looked at me and eyed me,




" My son cant you see she wants to trap you with pregnancy,.... Why is she always at your place, she has plans............. Pls my son sit down,...... I've accepted Lizzy as your wife, you can go and bring her home as your wife, let us start making arrangements for your wedding....... I've discussed with the wedding planner, she assured me that the wedding could be done within one month,......... I've called to inform your dad, but he seems not to understand, he said when he returns next week, we would discuss the issue.......... "

Nelson cut her short



." Mummy can you stop being selfish,.... What is wrong with you!!!!?..... You hated Lizzy with passion.... now this,..... Mummy calm down.... Take a deep breath....... "


"Nelson i'm your mother and i know what is good for you, i cant deceive you.... Lizzy is a nice girl..."



"If she's that nice, then marry her as a second wife for your husband!",


Mummy gave Nelson a thunderous slap!


I started crying,

"Mummy pls I'll leave your son alone, you'll never see me close to him again,..... I don't want you quarelling with him.... "i begged her

" You will do no such thing,...... If she leaves me i'll kill myself..... Since you dont want my happiness,.... It's better i die off because i cant live without her........... "


I went upstairs and picked my bag, i called my taxi driver, he came shortly and we left. Nelson was angry with me, he said i dont cherish the love we share.


I went to aunty Amanda's house, i narrated everything that has been happening to me to her



"This your aunty must be mean ooooh,..... How can she be so selfish.... She doesn't even care about her son's happiness..... From what you just told me.... I believe this is a spiritual problem..... I'll take you to my pastor,"


"pls i'll follow you there, i really need help. "

" good, i'll change my clothes and take you to him"

She changed her clothes, picked her car keys and we left.

Am guessing Lizzy has been visiting spiritual places..
But Amanda is too soft for my liking..she appears strong BT too feeble wen it comes to love.. Now she can't even fight for her love..
If am nelson I won't take her back after all dis
..she fvck up.. undecided
