**THE BETRAYAL** (episode 36) ......LATER IN THE EVENING, AMARA’S ROOM “mike is back” i whispered into my friend’s ear as if i was scared of calling out Mike’s name. She glanced at me with surprise, “mike! Which mike?” she curiously asked, “my ex na, have you forgotten him?” i replied. She instantly gasped and held my left palm tightly, “you mean you saw him?” she asked, ” he was in my room yesterday and even blocked me in school today” i explained, “so what does he want?, how did he even find you?” she asked with concern, “girl i really can’t say how he found me, i even thought you were the person who helped him” i answered quietly. She gave me an askance look, smiled and tapped my left shoulder, “nawa for you, why you go think that kind thing? I’m very much surprised as you are, so what did he say and what does he want?” she asked. “usual stuff, he wants my phone number, he has a story to tell, he can’t continue living this way” i replied and mimicked Mike’s voice. She laughed and clapped her hands. “abegi don’t mind him, better be careful from now onwards, you know how guys especially first boyfriend’s can be, very cunning and crafty like a con-artist, moreover he knows you too well, so please don’t even give him any chance to open his mouth” she advised. “but how can i be able to do that? He threatened to kill himself if i don’t give him attention” i murmured, “then let him kill himself, supposing you died of heartbreak when he left you, will he be talking all these nonsense” she replied unhappily, while i breathed deeply and shrugged. “so have you told your guy?” she asked, “no” i murmured and shook my head, “please don’t hide this issue from him, it will be easier for you to discharge him with Benjamin backing you up, i’m talking from experience” she advised like a sister, “i really don’t like involving that poor boy in my problems” i murmured, “i don’t think you have any other choice, my dear” she concluded and stared at me with pity. I looked away and shrugged. 9PM, BENJAMIN’S ROOM I laid on his body, while he gently played with my hair, a gesture i always enjoyed, but that evening, i really was very restless. Amara’s advice kept repeating in my head, urging me to open up and reveal all i was hiding. But i couldn’t get myself to do her bidding, which really was the most appropriate thing to do. A force i really can’t define nor figure out, sealed my lips and locked them firmly like a padlock. Perhaps it was fear which hindered me or maybe it was my stupidity which played such a dirty trick on me. My conscience urged me but my strength failed me, while my mouth refused to oblige. The kind of force which held me that moment seemed similar to that which often stops we girls from exposing our boyfriend’s pals who made passes at us. Only girls will surely understand the state i was in. Deep down i felt very guilty.. “i will talk to Mike tomorrow, if he still insists, then i will have no choice than to tell Benjamin” i promised myself. A promise which left a sour feeling in my mind, but unknown to me Amara had her own plans which soon reshaped and turned everything upside down for me…. EPISODE 37 LOADING
