ERRONEOUS WAY TO LOVE pt21
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….
