Episode 69
*Monday morning* I left early for school and attended my first lecture as a final year student. It really brought brief happiness to my life, making me put all my fears behind me. I religiously faced my studies. ___ Mike came to my room on tuesday as i was doing my assignments. “why havn’t you been answering my calls?” he asked calmly, “because i have been very busy, which you can see for yourself” i replied coldly. “I came to apologize for the way i treated you on sunday” he said slowly, “you have nothing to apologize for, i perfectly understand” i replied, “seriously i’m yet to get myself, it hasn’t been easy for me” he tried to explain, but i interrupted him rudely. “you have no need to explain yourself, let’s forget about it” i muttered without caring to look up at him. He stood up, drew close to me and caressed my hair gently. “i know you are still angry with me, tell me isn’t it so?” he asked searchingly. “please i’m not angry, allow me to concentrate on my assignment, i still have four pages to
cover” i replied with a slightly raised tone. He breathed deeply, brought out his wallet and fetched some naira notes which he dropped on my book. “i have to get going, it’s almost 6pm, do take care dearest” he murmured, stood hesitantly for a while before leaving my room. I never thanked him for the money, nor even bothered to say goodbye to him. I however counted the money as soon as he left and smiled to myself, because i was five thousand naira richer. *5:15pm wednesday* As Amara and i left the boutique, i begged her to accompany me to Mike’s apartment which was just few steps away. She wasn’t happy about it, but had no choice than to follow me. But you guys can’t imagine the surprise, shock and anger i felt when the door to Mike’s apartment was opened by no other person than Stella.“oh dear good evening, I guess you are looking for Mike, he went out minutes ago” Stella giggled with bright eyes. I breathed deeply, as i desperately tried to control my temper. “It’s in our best interest to keep our thoughts quiet, let’s go” Amara clevely whispered, before dragging me away. “ain’t you going to leave a message” i heard the obnoxious Stella ask as we left the building. I wasn’t myself as we headed back to our lodge that fateful evening, because not only was i jealous and angry, i equally was very doubtful of Mike’s intention towards me. My thoughts wandered aimlessly, while the police officer’s advice came rushing into my head, “you have seen nothing of what we call life’; your boyfriend is false in heart, in mind, in soul; he has a false flattering tongue, false lips, false principles, you better be careful” he had advised me on sunday. “could he be right?” i wondered, “no no no Mike won’t be so stupid as to get back with her, there must be a solid reason for her to be in his house” I fearfully concluded. Amara soon retired to her room, while i settled to sleep, but i kept tossing on my bed uneasily due to my unhappy thoughts. Unable to control my emotions i dialled Mike’s phone number. “hello dearest” he answered seconds later, “i came to your house earlier in the evening with my friend, didn’t Stella tell you?” i asked. He kept quiet for some seconds. “no she didn’t tell me anything, why didn’t you wait for me to return or call my cell phone?, i could have rushed home instantly” he asked, “there isn’t any need for that since your wife is already there” i answered coldly, “believe me, it’s not as you think” he murmured nervously, “A person dosen’t need to see a lot of things to imagine the truth” i replied and hung up. He tried calling me back, but i switched off my phone, shed a few tears and slept. *Thursday* I left my phone off, stayed away from my room and spent all my time with Amara. By 9pm, we decided to be a little wild and go clubbing. It really was one of the best nights i ever had as a student. I enjoyed the loud noise, crowd, happiness and music that shook the dancing hall. I forgot all my problems and danced myself to exhaustion. By 4:15am friday, we left the club and trekked towards a nearby junction to get a cab or tricycle. We barely had gone ten steps when a black SUV pulled and stopped in front of us. Amara and i stared at each other fearfully, stopped and tried to cross over to the left section of the road, but a young guy instantly jumped out of the car and called my friend. “Amara don’t be scared, Chike your cousin is greeting ooo” we heard him say. Amara froze and stared at him speechlessly, when he got very close, she recognized him, smiled and laughed. “bro Chike” she greeted and hugged him, but Chike’s eyes soon left my friend and focused on me brightly, while the street fluorescent lamps glared on us..
