**THE #BETRAYAL** (Episode 43) “I’m off to church” i said quietly as i backed away from him. He quickly held me strongly, “u brought happiness into my life, now u are taking it away” he accused, “is that what lovers do to each other eeh?” “y are u doing this to me, are you now doubting my love? Pls I instantly felt guilty n remorseful. I snatched my hand from his grasp and sat on my bed, covering my face with my palms. “u know sometimes our faith is tested with tempting issues, please don’t let our relationship crumble over this little problem. I could have walked away, cried my heart out n forgotten about u but i didn’t. I easily could have waited for u to apologize, but instead i buried my pride n did the opposite, My dear what more prove do u seek concerning my love” he poured out solemnly. He knelt by my side and slowly placed his head on mine, breathing heavily as he waited 4 me to say something. “kk i have heard u. Let’s continue like we used to. We both had a terrible dream yesterday that’s all, let’s 4get about it” I held him tightly. He said nothing, his happiness overwhelming him. He was a boy so much in love with me, with a kind of passion which could make any guy stupid. Anyway i was very glad to still have him under my control. Days passed by without princee showing up nor disturbing my life. I knew perhaps he kept away because he had a very demanding Job. Sackey n i used the opportunity to work on our relationship even though i denied him se.x for the rest of that week. However he never did complain n in return never left my sight even 4 a moment. He was always by my side as if he was my shadow. I felt he still was very suspicious n doubtful about my loyalty, but i pretended not to notice. But what happened on monday, a week later was something i wouldn’t 4get in a hurry. It was the day my past n present met n fought 4 supremacy. A day Sackey n Jaja confronted each other in my room. Back @home The earth shook, my head ached n my heart bled. Oh what a terribly day it was! What happened “A young man came here yesterday with his mum asking for ur hand in marriage. He looked very serious n asked some prying questions like our culture demands” mum said to me after evening meal. “A young man?” i asked with surprise. “yea he called himself prince, a very good friend of yours” mum added. I rolled my eyes n shook my head. “so what did u n dad say to him?” i asked. “we answered some of his questions n promised to get back at him after hearing ur opinion. He then left his phone number n promised to visit within 2 weeks. He behaved nicely, but dear every decision is ur to make, moreover we ain’t in a hurry to get you married. By the way do you actually know the young man??” mum explained and asked with a sweet smile. “yea i do know him, but i still have more years ahead before thinking of marriage” i replied hotly. “calm down dear, like i earlier said we your parents arn’t desperate to get you married. Your dad will call and notify him” she assured me. I smiled happily, “thanks mum” i murmured and hugged her. But i really was no fool not to notice that she really liked him. The way her eyes beemed as she described him, displayed her mind like a chalk-board. “don’t worry i know you will like Sackey much more” i assured her in my mind. I travelled back to school on sunday with prince’s issue weighing heavily on my mind. Jaja really came back fully prepared for me. His actions showed it all. But i had an obligation towards Sackey which i wasn’t ready to betray even if i wasn’t feeling strongly for him the way i used to. Just like my mum promised, Dad called and informed Jaja of my decision earlier that sunday before i left the house, but the smile on his face after the phone call weakened me. “the young man said he is willing to wait forever can u imagine?” dad announced with a shrug, making my heart skip a beat. I however told Sackey everything that happened at home without mincing words when we were together later in the evening. He just kept quiet for a while, shook his head sadly bit his lips. “that sneaky fool” he cursed. I rolled my eyes, held his left hand n smiled at him reassuringly, “don’t let it bother u dear, i’m already handling the situation” i said sweetly, but he simply scoffed, made to say something, controlled himself and breathed deeply as he stared at me. “can i have his phone number n pls don’t say know” he murmured a bit coldly. I shrugged took his phone n entered Samson Jaja’s phone number. “I don’t know if he still uses it. It’s the phone number he used as a student” i explained. With a dry smile he took his phone, left the room n returned five mintues later with a weird look. To be continued..
