**THE BETRAYAL** (Episode 12) ........“don’t cry my love,This was destined to happen n nothing would have stopped it 4rm happening” rose whispered but i really was inconsolable . “how do i face nke after dis? How do i stand in her presence, what will b her reaction when she finds out” i’m very serious about marrying you, all i need is just your consent, leave the rest for me, it will be history in no time”she begged passionately. “i can handle myself. I perfectly knew what i was doing when we made love”I said to myself like a lost soul. “we are in this together, count on me for anything” she spoke calmly, makin me stare in2 her eyes. I saw sincerity, fear and uncertainty in them. “all i want is 4 u to be the father of my children,I need not only ur body, but u soul and spirit as well, please make me urs” she begged. “why is it so difficult 4 u to accept me my dear why?” she asked eagerly, “bcos i owe Nke alot, she was by my side when u abandoned me, filled my spirit when i was weak n defended me when u weren’t there” i poured out. SHe instantly blushed, “i may not be very much in love with her like i used to, but i’ll still be loyal to her till she sets me free” i added, yl she stared at me with a coloured face. “what nonsense are u saying?”she asked. “i’ll be very honest with her, i’ll confess evrytin dat happened 2night once i go back to my lodge 2morrow. If she breaks up with me over it, so be it, u can then have ur chance i promised, leaving her in a terrible shock. “are u out of ur mind or wat, surely she will end things with u but i don’t think she will let you go without 1st breakin u head,are u trying to kill urself?, Chris wat has come over u?” she asked. “dat’s the only atonement i can offer, if she kills me over it then u know we weren’t destined to be 2geda. Whatever will be will be, my life is already messed up, i have no reason to fear anymore” i murmured. “alright let’s see how it plays out, but my dear i think u r not okay, ur grief has affected u badly” she murmured sadly. “whatever is written can never be changed, if something happens to me, then know it was destined to happen” i replied with a weak smile. SHe nervously dressed up n left without another word. Rose dropped me in front of my lodge d next morning. “pls chris i beg u, don’t do anything silly” she pleaded. “as 4 my confession, i will go ahead with it. Worry not, i can perfectly take gud care of myself” i assured her b4 alighting. Walking in2 my room, i rehearsed all i planned 2 tell nke. It really wasn’t easy making up my mind 4 such deed, but like i told Rose, ‘nothing would stop me 4rm going ahead with it’. Just like fate would ve it, i ran into nke @ d staircase,she was going downstairs to fetch water but instantly froze when she saw me. There was suspicion n relief on her eyes as they fell on me, while i nervously returned her look n greeted her. “chris where r u coming 4rm?? I knw u arn’t coming 4rm ur house?”she asked “yeah” i replied quietly, left her n climbed up. She quickly followed me, abandonin d water she was on her way 2 get so where did u go? she asked when we got 2 my room. “do u really want to know?” i asked calmly as i sat on my bed. “do i still owe u any explanation concerning my movements? Isn’t our relationship officially over?” i asked. “i c u are trying very much 2 harden ur heart, no prob but i still insist to know”she said. “alright since insist, i spent my sunday at Rose’s house n i’m just comin from there” i opened up coldly.

She never cried out but i knew she weeped in her heart. I stared @ her clueless on wat next 2 say nor how to behave towards her. She sat with her face covered 4 about 15 minutes b4 composing herself n drawing close. “did she, did she touch?”she nervously asked. I was instantly torn b/n telling her the truth or lying to her. My confusion left me silent which equally confirmed hierfear. “ chris, why,??”she asked murderously with unshed tears melting her eyes. I was unable to stand her voice nor gaze any longer. I quietly stood up n backed her. “i don’t deserve u Nkechi, i really do care about u, but i don’t understand my flesh anymore nor d cravings in my heart. Pls free urself 4rm this torment n permit me to get another guy 4 u” i said. But all she did was just to shed her tears which she very much struggled to hold, silently on my bed. I was very touched n would have cried beside her if not that i wanted her to let me out of her life. Patiently i waited 4 her to come around. I knew only 1 thing could happen that moment.
