BETRAYAL Episode 33 I ran into Lynda when i finally got downstairs. I smiled polietly and stopped by her side. She was well dressed up that morning,. The events of the previous evening instantly came racing into my mind and i glanced at her injured beauty with a heart filled with pain. “hi dear are you going to school?” i asked with a look of surprise. “no i’m going over to a friend’s house, i’ll stay there till i recover” she explained with a weak smile. I truly was touched. “that’s a nice idea dear, i’ll keep praying for you” i muttered with a friendly pat on her left shoulder. She nodded with a smile and left without another word. I really felt like crying that moment, but i held myself and walked to the water- pump, which unfortunately wasn’t working that morning. With a deep sigh i went to the extreme end of the backyard where the second water pump was located and equally where Dave and his friends do stay most of the time, smoking and doing some weight- lifting exercises, making that corner of our lodge highly avoided by students, but i had no choice than to go there, since i badly needed water… I slowly went there with a fast beating heart, and just like i feared Dave and two guys sat beside the water- pump discussing seriously. I muttered some greetings which they ignored before quietly fetching water from the Tap. “i will be in your room later” i heard Dave mutter with a serious look as i carried the heavy bucket of water i fetched. I slowly returned to my room with my thoughts focused on how to end his disturbance. Nothing so far has been able to stop him and with Lynda finally out of the way, i knew i was in for a bigger trouble, and it just looked as if i jumped out from a burning pot only to land on the fire underneath. “oh Lord please don’t let this fire burn Benjamin as-well” i prayed as i stepped into my room. Perhaps it was my thoughts that blinded me or my fears that clouded my sight and prevented me from seeing Amara and chuks engaged in a fight. But It was to late to avert disaster as chuks falling body crashed on me without warning. My head smashed on the wall, while his elbow broke my lips. My bucket instantly fell, watering my room in the process. Amara screamed in panic….. Chuks quickly composed himself, helped me to my feet and muttered some quick apologies. He really was very embarrassed, and avoided meeting my gaze out of shame. Amara quickly overcame her shock, rushed to my balcony, grabbed a clean piece of rag and started scrubbing my room with it. Chuks joined her moments later, when he saw that i was alright, while i quickly carried my books which were neatly arranged on the floor and spread them out on my balcony to dry. Truly the whole scene came as a shock and surprise to me, but it really was an accident so i blamed no one. Surprisingly Chuks and Amara worked harmoniously together like newly married couples as they scrubbed my room, their quarrels forgotten as if it never happened. I smiled in appreciation as i watched them, even though i still felt a little pain on my head. “chuks really is a nice guy” i finally admitted to myself, because he displayed some attributes which i never knew was in him. “Sometimes casually reading a person dosen’t really tell us all we need to know, and most times we end up forming a very bad opinion about such person due to our casual observation” i reasoned with a sigh. I quickly fried plantain which we all ate together minutes later, and i almost bursted into laughter as i watched chuks trying so hard to make Amara smile. “please help me plead to your friend, she dosen’t understand how much i love her” he finally pleaded to me. I blushed and stared at Amara without knowing what to tell her, “don’t give me that look cyndii, he should first tell me if he truly belongs to a cult group or not, if he really wants me” she fired back. I stared at Chuks with a shrug. He instantly looked down as if he was given a very difficult condition. “will the truth change anything?” he asked seconds later, “i don’t know” she replied haughtily, “yes i do belong to a cult group” he muttered with a deep breathe. A huge terrifying silence fell in my room as his confession registered into our head…. For the first time, i wished he had lied… WATCH OUT FOR EPISODE 34
