She has been in a bad mood for todays now- since that episode with Emeka. girlie, its high time youd stop doing this to your self, youve not been eating o Edith knelt beside her on bed. Betty didnt open her eyes Try to call him again... she added gently Cant you gerrit into your head, that he switched off his phone Betty snapped, her eyes still shut. Now girlie, Keep your cool, huh? Edith told her And do you know whats hurting me more? Betty sat up. no.. I saw him with G-gal this afternoon, at The Mamas Kitchen tears welled up her eyes serious? ediths eyes almost popped out. I think... betty got down from bed. I think, he is doing that to hurt me, and Im truly hurt! she moved towards the mirror hanging on the wall. G-gal of all people! Sometimes I wonder...if...if...if... her voice trailed off, she sniffed and wiped her tears. Hmmmn, but, I think G-gal is the one forcing herself on him, I dont think...Emeka would do such Edith told her wiping her tears. Betty smiled a faint smile, she knew that too, but she think she is losing. When is Jay-Jay coming back? In the next four days. she replied. Il arrange something, atleast before he comes back, wel handle G-gal in our own way Edith said How? Betty couldnt help laughing. wait and see! G-gal will have to pay. Betty stared at Edith suprised, what can she do, but Edith was wearing this determined face,. *********** Emeka nimbled at his meatpie, he was thinking of Betty, are his actions right? He should have listened to her. And this G-gal following him about, what does she want? Mtchew He noticed some thing unusual about the restaurant he was in, on each table he saw a boy, each wearing a black jacket, they werent looking at him, so theres nothing to fear. Hi He groaned, it was G-gal again, she sat down facing him, wearing that seductive smile. Something caught his attention, he saw Edith talking to someone on phone, she waved at him and hurried out of the restaurant. Having lunch? G-gal asked does this look like lunch? He wanted to tell her Errm...not really he replied drinking from a can of maltina. Hmm, you look nice she quipped Thanks, you see G-gal, you need to leave now, Im expecting my Girlfriend he wanted her to leave him alone. Hy? He looked up it was Betty. Hope Im not disturbing anything? she asked mockingly. I...errm He felt nervous. Emeka, this is a very bad thing to do, G-gal of all people! Betty said quitely. Are you Jealous? G-gal retorted. Her hands were too swift, she grabbed the can of maltina Emeka was drinking from, splashed some on G-gals face and emptied the remnants on her dress. G-gal stood up astonished! You! How dare you! she made to slap her. Betty held her hand to stop her. Hey steady there. You dont want the drama to start now huh? Betty chuckled, Why dont take a look around you? Edith said from behind them. G-gals eyes moved round- about five out of Jay-Jays boys were present. Tiger waved his dagger as if to say hi, Rox was cleaning his gun with a tissue, three other boys adjusted their belts in a bid to show them the guns and knives they were carrying. G-gal gasped, Emeka too was like What the Bleep! Even Betty was suprised, wow, Edith knew Jay- jays boys? How comes she got them here. She felt secured. So you see... Betty continued You shouldnt try that okay, Im not the Betty you used to know, Im now Jay-Jays sister. she chuckled. And I am warning you, stop stalking me! Stay off my affairs! Stop lingering in my paths Betty told her turning to leave. Hey! Didnt you forget something? Edith was laughing. Oh yes! Betty looked at her hands, and whoof! Her hand landed on G-gals face, her other hand followed swiftly. And thats just the foretaste of what she would do to you, next time you cross her paths Edith told G-gal giving her a knock. She made some signs, and the waitress brought three cans of maltina. Lets party.. Edith whispered as she and Betty emptied the contents on G-gals head. Its enough. Lets go. Betty said dropping the can. They both left the restaurant with Tiger and the rest following suit. Emeka swallowed hard, he stared at the maltina- drenched G-gal, she was crying now. He felt like bursting into fits of laughter, he was impressed, Betty was fighting for him, she truly loved him. He left the restaurant happily.**** ********** Betty and her friend Edith rushed into their room gleefully. Girlie, you are too much. edith said hugging her friend. You show her say you no be Igbo girl wey dem born and train in yoruba land for nothing Edith was praising her. Betty laughed. Have you ever seen me dance before? she asked Edith. Omo, you sabi dance? Edith was laughing too. Hey! Play this song...errm, is it gaga crazy? That one the guy was saying sugar cane no be bamboo..you gerrit? Betty was removing her jacket. We are really going crazy! Edith replied searching for the song in her phone. They both started dancing, celebrating victory. Bettys phone rang. Who is it again! she hissed Who is it? Who else? Emeka now! Betty threw the phone and it fell on the bed. Hello? Edith picked the call Hello? Baby... Shes not the one, she cant talk to you now! Call her later Edith snapped ending the call. Go and learn how to beg properly she hissed. Betty was still dancing and humming who is in the garden, a little fine, can I come and see her? No no no no Edith laughed smacking her buttocks. Dont reduce the size o Betty warned her playfully, before slumping into bed. ********** Jay-Jay was kneeling down before his father Chief Robert Ezigbo. The whole place was tensed. jacobs! What has come over you? You- a cultist? Unbelievable! Robert yelled at his son. what happened to the godly upbringing I gave you? You know how much reputation I have in this society? Reputation my foot! I like what Im doing, leave me alone- Jay-Jay wanted to snap. Im sorry dad. he said in a low voice shut up! Now listen, no more schooling for you! Youre going to work in my company at Zimbabwe! Ive made arrangements, youre leaving next week!Robert yelled before walking into his room. Jay-Jay gasped, the first thought he had was Betty, he cant leave her, not while G-gal is still alive. ******** Exams was fast approaching, all the serious students are getting excited, while the dull ones are getting nervous. Betty was sitting with Emeka (theyve reconciled) and Edith in the Library, they were studying with keen interest. She soon got bored; Im tired she sighed. me too Edith whispered while Emeka grunted. and famished too Edith added. Lets go to the coke village, we can come back here later Betty suggested. You guys go, I wanna finish solving this physics. Emeka told them. They both left hurriedly because the Libarian was looking at them. Betty sipped her juice. Girlie, Ive been watching you for some time now, you seem withdrawn, always looking distant, wats up friend, or is it the exams? Edith asked biting at her chicken. hmm betty smiled come Betty! I asked a question and you just smiled? Edith queried Im fine Bettys voice was low. I know that, but you aint fine in there Edith pointed towards her heart Its just that..I...its Jay-Jay betty told her. Whats with Jay-Jay ? He said hes gonna be away for just two weeks, but its almost a month now, no trace of him, no calls, no texts...and worst of all Exams is just two weeks away. Betty explained looking down at her food dont worry, hes gonna be fine, He would be back soon, okay, Jay-Jay can take care of himself Edith was trying to cheer her up. Okay Betty sighed. Cheer up jor, eat up fast, Emeka is waiting! Edith told her with a smile. Betty managed a low laugh. ************ Jay-Jay was pacing to and fro in his room. He was deep in thoughts. He has locked himself up in his room since last night, not even his fathers persistent knockings made him open the door. Rubbish! He drew a sharp breathe, what was his father thinking anyway? Zimbabwe of all countries! His fingers ran through his hair roughly. For once, he regretted being a Roberts family member. He wondered what could be going on with Betty, Tiger called this morning to say she is alright, but even still... He is not satisfied The person who told his father he is a cultist will surely pay for this! For the first time he wished he had a mother. He had never known her, neither did his dad tell him about her. He resigned never to ask about her, cos he thought shed be dead. A sharp knock interrupted his thoughts... What the heck is this man looking for again! He groaned. He moved away from the door determined not to open it. His dad should just leave him alone! Episode 8 @
