ERRONEOUS WAY TO LOVE pt27
mind nor morale to invite Emmanuel in
such manner and i equally never dreamt i
would ever find myself in such unpleasant
position.
If i had the power, i would have
disappeared that moment, but i lacked such
powers and so had no choice than to sit it
out.
So loudly my heart pounded, so nervously i
shook inside and so weakly i awaited my
fate. But to my astonishment, Emmanuel
just sat comfortably with a quiet smile on
his face as he stared at us.
He looked very relaxed, calm and
calculative.
“I had to lie and abandon my work just to
get here due to the respect i have for you
Mary and not because of the insultive tone
and manner your so called boyfriend used
in inviting me. Please i didn’t come here for
a child’s play, so you guys better be
serious” he said, breaking the silence
between us.
My dear Samuel instantly stood up, and
stared at him with contempt and hatred.
“Thanks for honouring my invitation. I
invited you only for one simple reason
which is to tell you in Mary’s presence to
back off and leave her alone. She’s now my
girl and i will forever fight for her interest
and defend her. We may not have this
opportunity again” he explained seriously
with fire in his eyes.
Emmanuel simply scoffed, sighed and stood
up.
“Is that all?” he asked, “you really have
tried, thanks for trying to be a man” he
muttered with a sneer, bent by my side and
pecked me, before i even realised his
intention. I instantly stared at him with
shock and disbelief.
Samuel however was more than shocked.
There was fire in his eyes as his fury rose.
The insultive calculative reply he got from
Emmanuel coupled with the provocative
peck he saw him give me, totally outraged
and dis-organised him. Instantly turning
him into a beast.
Without thinking he reached out, grabbed
Emmanuel by the collar, and jerked him
violently.
His action tore Emmanuel’s shirt, who
instead of retaliating, smiled and shook his
head.
“What’s the need in being so violent??”
“incase you are not aware, better know this
moment that i have much more claim over
Mary than you ever will. I guess she’s yet to
gist you about our dirty secrets. So my boy
fighting over a woman will only send you to
your grave pretty quick instead of helping
you prove a point. Don’t ever dare touch me
again, i’m not your mate. Mary is my wife
whether you like it or not, it’s just a matter
of time” he muttered, while Samuel stared
at him furiously.
“You are just a shoe cleaner my boy, so
better learn” he added insultively, before
trying to leave. But Samuel couldn’t bear
the insult any longer. He pushed him so
violently that he landed on my bed and
almost hit his head on the wall close by.
I clearly saw what Emmanuel was
successfully doing, he was purposely
provoking Samuel, but i couldn’t figure out
what he planned to achieve with it.
Samuel however, expecting a retaliatory
move from him, quickly grabbed a small
kitchen knife lying on my reading table,
making me fetch my strength and jump out
of my bed.
“Samuel have you gone crazy or what? Drop
that knife” i instantly barked, throwing
myself at him, but unluckily he
misunderstood my action and stared at me
murderously
“Jeez so Mary you are now defending him, i
have been the fool all along” he ranted with
a raised hand which still held the kitchen
knife.
I swallowed hard as i stared at him, totally
disappointed. I never knew a gentle boy like
him could ever turn into such an obnoxious
fellow.
I sighed left my room and rushed to the
general balcony, intending to clear my head
there. Surprisingly Samuel followed me,
breathing heavily as if he ran after a
moving car.
Emmanuel also left that moment, even
though i didn’t see him leave. My head
really was fully heated up like a dynamite
waiting to explode. I was totally upset with
Samuel.
“Mary” he called out and grabbed me from
behind. I instantly turned and faced him
with anger.
“It’s over” i muttered coldly,
“What!” he gasped with disbelief.
“I’m dead serious, our relationship is
officially over” i repeated,
“Oh Mary” he tried to protest, but i instantly
freed myself from his grasp, rolled my eyes
and moved to the other end of the balcony,
“Please don’t ever Mary me again, the
decision has been made” i murmured coldly,
“No no no, i can’t take this, i can’t survive
this, i’m sorry for going over the line, please
forgive me” he apologised profusely,
holding me again.
“I know we both are going to suffer over
this, but it’s best for us, focus your heart
on your upcoming degree exams, Perhaps
things will get better for us before you are
done with it” i said coldly.
“Is it a crime to defend and fight over what
is rightfully mine?” he asked anxiously
“Yea it’s a crime to fight over destiny,
whatever is written for us can never be
changed, even if you fight a thousand
times” i replied and ran back to my room.
_____________
I had no peace for the rest of that week,
because my dear Samuel wouldn’t let me
be. He truly was extremely hurt by my
decision, he kept begging and disturbing
me as if my decision would kill him, but i
never yielded to his pleas nor listened to
Mariam who pleaded on his behalf. It was
as if my heart was on lockdown. I felt
nothing and had no regret over anything.
I must confess his mistake really seemed to
be the perfect opportunity that came at the
right time, and i equally knew i simply was
overreacting.
However his mum surprised me with a
phone-call on thursday inviting me over to
their family house during the weekend
which i found hard to decline, because the
good old lady really had been very kind to
me. But as i prepared my mind and myself
on Friday, rehearsing how to behave at her
house, i got another strange phone call
from Emmanuel’s mother seeking to have a
little ‘face to face’ chat with me, else she
would come calling at my lodge.
Yea i also accepted her invitation and got
the directions to her house, because i
preferred visiting her instead of her showing
up at my lodge. But i equally couldn’t help
wondering how she got my phone number.
In such a short period, i became a hot
dazzling ‘must-get’ princess..
