**THE BETRAYAL** (Episode 15) ......“so how far?” she anxiously asked, “i havn’t been able to decide anything” i murmured with a fast pounding heart. “c’mon don’t tell me that. Have u 4gotten i gave u only two weeks 2 decide, why are u behaving like this?”she curiously asked. “Rose i’ll give u an answer at the end of this semester, please allow me to focus on my studies, i can’t be thinking of ur proposal when i have exams to prepare” i poured out. “i really don’t know the kind of game u r playing, seriously i don’t”she complained. “so what’s so hard 4 u to wait an extra month for me to decide?” i asked, “because i don’t understand u n i fear i may end up killing my time 4 nothing”she replied. “if u love me, u will be willing to take d risk” i spoke defiantly. She breathed deeply, grabbed my left hand and stared into my eyes. “tell me the truth, what’s happening please?”she pleaded. My lips quivered, while my bright eyes grew dim under her womanly grasp. “but 4 1 thing, i would have said yes this instant n gone with u to the very end of the world” i confessed. “but what is it, Chris?”she asked, Rose– I cannot leave Nke by this hour, she’s preparing 4 her degree exams please be considerate. Yes i’m with her, but it’s more of a friendship thing ,but you don’t have to believe me” i explained. “It is the only atonement i can offer her, i owe nke this reparation 4 the evil i have done her n i must make it till she completes her degree exams, after which i will give you the answer you so much desire” i added. She drew nearer and kissed my trembling lips “alright i understand”she murmured coldly. “speak to me Rose, it’s hard, i know but tell me that i’m doing the right thing” i begged. She looked down and shook her head. “u are cruelly doing the right thing” she murmured. “i have to get going, i really can’t stand this anymore”she quietly added. I stared at her inquisitively but couldn’t say any word to her. I quietly alighted 4rm her car while she furiously drove away without even bothering to give me a goodbye smile. It really was a very painful parting n i couldn’t help but wonder if she will ever return 4 me I cried in my room as i thought over Roses behaviour. “have i lost her forever?” did i miscalculate by pushing my luck to the extreme? I wondered with tears. I however devoted my time in being by Nkechi’s side as her degree exams slowly drew near, equally pushing my fears and sorrows to the back of my mind. In no time i got used to my new way of living, hiding my fears with smiles, and taking life as i saw it. Nkechi equally never gave me cause to worry, she never brought up any topic that would hurt my feelings nor even mentioned Rose’s name.She truly was the ideal girl for any man but she wasn’t destined for me. I felt nothing but commitment, compassion n little respect for her. Finally the exams came and went with the speed of light. Nkechi was finally a graduate. I really can’t forget the night she graduated, how happy and overjoyed she was and d miserable look on her face as she begged for s*x after the celebration. She had insisted i spend the night in her room when we returned from the party her department organised. I agreed just to make her happy, but when she began touching me later in the night, i felt nothing but anger and irritation. I had to push her roughly away from me. “i have waited so long for this moment, why are you denying me your body, are you upset over something?” she asked anxiously, “i’m sick n weak, just sleep and let me be please” i replied a bit coldly, but she wasn’t convinced. “it isn’t fair dear, why are you like this?” she begged. “seriously Nke i do appreciate your love, care and everything, but this night is going to be our last together, i have tried to develop more feelings for you but was unable to. Moreover i know your mum no longer likes me, so please tonight is our last” i plainly poured out to a visibly surprised Nkechi she gasped, left the bed and slept on the rug without saying another word to me. The next morning i left her room before she woke up. Though what i did touched me, i was very glad i did it because i really couldn’t guarantee my happiness with her. She however never did spoke to me again. She moved{packed} out of the hostel days later without bothering to notify me. I was a bit distressed because i really never wanted things to end that way between us and would have wanted for us to remain good friends. Finally, I anxiously began waiting for Rose who never showed up nor called on phone. I soon wrote my second semester exams n travelled home 4 christmas months later. 3 months i waited for Rose, but not even a single phone call did i get from her. I lost hope, but for my pride i would have called her myself. . . . . . . . . . Perhaps she wasn’t in my destiny either. #Do you think chris
