“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 st.upid. Anyway i was very glad to still have him under my control. _______ Days passed by without Mike showing up nor disturbing my life. I knew perhaps he kept away because he had a very demanding Job. Benjamin and i used the opportunity to work on our relationship even though i denied him se.x for the rest of that week. However he never did complain, and in return never left my sight even for a moment. 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 Benjamin and Mike confronted each other in my room. The earth shook, my head ached and my heart bled. Oh what a terribly day it was!SATURDAY EVENING, Days later @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 Mike, 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 arn’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. _____ I travelled back to school on sunday with Mike’s issue weighing heavily on me. Mike really came back fully prepared for me. His actions showed it all. Just like my mum promised, Dad called and informed Mike 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 Benjamin everything that happened at home 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. “can i have his phone number please” he murmured a bit coldly. I shrugged took his phone and entered Mike’s phone number in it. With a dry smile he took his phone, left the room and returned five mintues later with a weird look. “‘your Mike’ is coming here by 11am tomorrow” he said quietly. My heart instantly jumped,i wondered what he was up to. ____ 11:30am the next day. I sat btw Benj and Mike in my room with a heavily coloured face NEXT EPISODE
