**THE BETRAYAL** Part 3 (Episode 93) *continue* Amara sensing the tensed atmosphere in the room didn’t allow Chike to spend nothing but few minutes with us before polietly dragging him away, but the few minutes he spent with us however didn’t stop him from giving his feelings away by the manner he stared at me, which Mike noticed. He however never made any silly remark, nor tried to flirt with me, probably because of my parents presence and the environment we were in, but it never stopped me nor any curious person nearby from guessing what was going on in his mind. His behaviour and restlessness revealed everything. Mike really was extremely overwhelmed by Chike’s boldness or should i say alarmed over all he witnessed, but his surprise and fury further heightened when he saw Benjamin and his mum walk in few minutes after Chike and Amara had left. However he was very poliet and diplomatic as he exchanged pleasantries with them, of course he had no choice than to be, even though his coloured face almost gave his feelings away. Sincerely, i saw no reason for his tensed look. As my parents chatted with Benjamin and his mum, i felt like shedding tears. I never imagined nor dreamt that my dad would ever be an object of pity, lying in such a poor helpless position. Yea i wore a smiling face, but i was dead inside. I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through in Benjamin’s mind, his mother’s mind and even in Mike’s mind. Oh how terrible and devastated i was as the whole event unfolded. Benjamin and his mum left after spending close to twenty five minutes with us. “be strong dear, most times challenges come to test our faith and courage, how we withstand it, is what truly matters in the end, there isn’t any need crying over split milk. Your dad is a strong Man” Benjamin’s mum had advised me as they got ready to leave. The good old lady was nothing but kindness. She also gave me three thousand Naira before leaving. Mike’s cold gaze rested on me as soon as they left, “please can we talk outside?” he said to me, forcing out a dry smile with which he confused my parents with. But i wasn’t decieved by it, i knew he was dying of jealousy. “Why do Men always feel threatened over a minor issue?” i wondered Without another word, i stood up and followed him. We silently left the hospital building and stopped in front of a small kiosk just a stone throw away. “hmmm so why am i here?” i asked softly, folding my hands. He simply smiled, shrugged and stared at me searchingly. “is there anything i need to know?” he asked, provoking me with his annoying question. “don’t tell me you brought me all the way here just to ask if i have anything you need to know?” i fired back, trying hard to keep my feelings in check. He shrugged again, drew forward and held my left hand. “i was very surprised to see Benjamin and his mum today, why didn’t you tell me they were coming, or didn’t i deserve such information?” he asked. I kept quiet, refusing to answer him. “of course i know you won’t answer, i know you are always right in everything, but we are in a relationship, i’m your fiancee for God’s sake, i have privileges my dear, don’t you get it?” he asked, making me scoff with annoyance, “Benjamin’s visit equally came as a surprise to me, i never knew they were coming by that hour, so please stop preaching about privileges to me, because you are guilty as well or have you forgotten your Stella so soon eeh?” i answered with a raised tone. He rubbed his hair and face, turned and backed me nervously. “and how about the guy your friend showed up with earlier today, i couldn’t help but notice that you two do have something going on?” he asked, {still backing me} “what are you insinuating?, i can’t believe my ears” i screamed, “of course you won’t” he murmured. “fine believe whatever you like Mike, i don’t have the strength to argue with you this hot sunday” i shouted and ran back to the {hospital} ward, where mum gave me a curious look. Fortunately she asked no question. 3:15pm sunday I barely had settled in my room after a long strenous day at the hospital, with my mind boiling over Mike’s atitude when Amara came rushing into my room. “oh dear Cyndii, please permit me to give Chike your phone number, i don’t know what else to tell him. He has been insisting and you know he is my cousin please” she begged, throwing me into another state of confusion as i wondered what to tell my dear friend without sounding harsh nor easy. To be continued.
