*****BETRAYAL**** Episode 58 ;) “alright then, i have to get going” Benjamin muttered seriously. I nodded with a faint smile, “thanks again for checking up on me, hope you will be at home on saturday?” i asked meekly, “of course i will” he replied, breathed deeply and turned to leave. “Ben please wait” i begged nervously, forcing him to stop, turn and stare at me curiously, “i have cute coursemates who will be willing to have a relationship with a guy like you, should i arrange one for you?” i asked nervously. He breathed deeply and shook his head, “never mind, thanks” he objected, “are you sure?” i asked seriously, “yea and i’m also very sure you will later regret leaving the only boy that truly loved you” he answered, turned and left without another word. ______ I took a long shower, freshened up and had a little nap. However a loud knock on my door hours later, woke me up. I lazily answered my door and smiled brightly as my eyes fell on Amara. “thank God you are back, i missed you dear” i happily cried as we hugged each other. “me too” she murmured happily. Even though our friendship wasn’t as strong as it used to be due to my strange affair with Mike, we still maintained a little closeness and still shared a unique bond which kept us together like sisters. She never supported how i got back with Mike, but it never stopped me from sharing my fears with her. “could you believe Mike has a daughter” i announced as she walked into my room, “don’t say that, jeez!” she exclaimed with surprise, settled down on my bed with both hands on her jaw and listened keenly. I calmly sat beside her and narrated the latest story of my life to her. “da.mn this is so weird and unbelievable” she murmured and shook her head after listening to all i poured out, “my dear i think you should run away from that guy, unless you are willing to risk your life over him. Moreover it isn’t too late for you, since you havn’t given him much commitment, nor slept with him after that careless night you spend at his family house last year” she advised seriously. “you are right, but i just can’t do it, don’t ask me why please” i said seriously. She scoffed, shook her head and held my left shoulder, “I think you are being insanely st.upid, seriously” she scolded, “you used to be a level headed, intelligent girl, but it seems like you are getting stupid as you grow older, please don’t take it the wrong way, but i have to tell you the truth” she added with a serious look. “what is love without happiness?, and what is happiness without a bright future?” she asked, forcing me to look away in confusion, “there is no doubt you are love with Mike, but where is your happiness, and how will your life turn out in few years coming?” “this is no soap opera, we are talking about your life. Youthful love fades with time, but happiness and bright future can make it last a life time” She advised with burning eyes, “you are like my sister my dear, and i know you have a very good but weak heart, do you think you stand a chance with Stella and her numerous antics eeh?, answer me?, moreover how are you sure Mike won’t abandon you at the last moment, because he’s good at it?” she asked seriously. I silently swallowed hard, lost in thought. I was lost, disoriented and disorganised. Instead of helping, Amara choosed to dismember me with her frightening questions. But sometimes a truthful reality is very painful and horrible to imagine. *Monday morning* I left early for school and attended my first lecture as a final year student. It really brought brief happiness to my life, making me put all my fears behind me. I religiously faced my studies. ___ Mike came to my room on tuesday as i was doing my assignments. “why havn’t you been answering my calls?” he asked calmly, “because i have been very busy, which you can see for yourself” i replied coldly. “I came to apologize for the way i treated you on sunday” he said slowly, “you have nothing to apologize for, i perfectly understand” i replied, “seriously i’m yet to get myself, it hasn’t been easy for me” he tried to explain, but i interrupted him rudely. “you have no need to explain yourself, let’s forget about it” i muttered without caring to look up at him. He stood up, drew close to me and caressed my hair gently. “i know you are still angry with me, tell me isn’t it so?” he asked searchingly. “please i’m not angry, allow me to concentrate on my assignment, i still have four pages to cover” i replied with a slightly raised tone. He breathed deeply, brought out his wallet and fetched some naira notes which he dropped on my book. “i have to get going, it’s almost 6pm, do take care dearest” he murmured, stood hesitantly for a while before leaving my room. I never thanked him for the money, nor even bothered to say goodbye to him. I however counted the money as soon as he left and smiled to myself, because i was five thousand naira richer. *5:15pm wednesday* As Amara and i left the boutique, i begged her to accompany me to Mike’s apartment which was just few steps away. She wasn’t happy about it, but had no choice than to follow me. But you guys can’t imagine the surprise, shock and anger i felt when the door to Mike’s apartment was opened by no other person than Stella.“oh dear good evening, I guess you are looking for Mike, he went out minutes ago” Stella giggled with bright eyes. I breathed deeply, as i desperately tried to control my temper. “It’s in our best interest to keep our thoughts quiet, let’s go” Amara clevely whispered, before dragging me away. “ain’t you going to leave a message” i heard the obnoxious Stella ask as we left the building. I wasn’t myself as we headed back to our lodge that fateful evening, because not only was i jealous and angry, i equally was very doubtful of Mike’s intention towards me. My thoughts wandered aimlessly, while the police officer’s advice came rushing into my head, “you have seen nothing of what we call life’; your boyfriend is false in heart, in mind, in soul; he has a false flattering tongue, false lips, false principles, you better be careful” he had advised me on sunday. “could he be right?” i wondered, “no no no Mike won’t be so stupid as to get back with her, there must be a solid reason for her to be in his house” I fearfully concluded. Amara soon retired to her room, while i settled to sleep, but i kept tossing on my bed uneasily due to my unhappy thoughts. Unable to control my emotions i dialled Mike’s phone number. “hello dearest” he answered seconds later, “i came to your house earlier in the evening with my friend, didn’t Stella tell you?” i asked. He kept quiet for some seconds. “no she didn’t tell me anything, why didn’t you wait for me to return or call my cell phone?, i could have rushed home instantly” he asked, “there isn’t any need for that since your wife is already there” i answered coldly, “believe me, it’s not as you think” he murmured nervously, “A person dosen’t need to see a lot of things to imagine the truth” i replied and hung up. He tried calling me back, but i switched off my phone, shed a few tears and slept. *Thursday* I left my phone off, stayed away from my room and spent all my time with Amara. By 9pm, we decided to be a little wild and go clubbing. It really was one of the best nights i ever had as a student. I enjoyed the loud noise, crowd, happiness and music that shook the dancing hall. I forgot all my problems and danced myself to exhaustion. By 4:15am friday, we left the club and trekked towards a nearby junction to get a cab or tricycle. We barely had gone ten steps when a black SUV pulled and stopped in front of us. Amara and i stared at each other fearfully, stopped and tried to cross over to the left section of the road, but a young guy instantly jumped out of the car and called my friend. “Amara don’t be scared, Chike your cousin is greeting ooo” we heard him say. Amara froze and stared at him speechlessly, when he got very close, she recognized him, smiled and laughed. “bro Chike” she greeted and hugged him, but Chike’s eyes soon left my friend and focused on me brightly, while the street fluorescent lamps glared on us..
