I LOVE HIM
Cynthia's
side of the story
Okey.
uuuhmmm! no need to talk about that night. Frank has said it all. it was
perfectly amazing. Yea, Frank is really good, like a sort of veteran, his
sexual performance that night was more like a comeback from a retired master.
Hushipi!!! Actually, that wasn't the first time my mum caught me kissing a guy.
She has already caught me 3 to 4 times with my ex. But I kept wondering why she
was pissed off with this one. Maybe because she cared more than enough for her
only daughter? I was really unable to tell. I was very annoyed with the way she
reacted and the state she had put my Dad in that morning. I noticed the faint
mood in his face and I wasn't cool with that. I have never been cool seeing my
dad in a shitty mood, maybe that was because of the strong bond that existed
between us. The father and daughter type of bond, too strong to be broken. He is
not that type of man that would harshly confront one for his or her wrong
doing. He always has this mild way of dealing with issues. Whenever I get
annoyed with my mum over one thing or the other, he would always tell me that
"It is only when a fly perches on your scrotal sac that you will realize
that there are other ways to settle a conflict without using violent. Your mum
is the scrotal sac and now there is a fly on her. So, take your time and deal
with it". I knew it that he was very sad if not disappointed and I had no
other option than to leave the house. I was burning with annoyance and equally
confused. Oh! Frank, he just looked confused, depressed and pitiable at all
angle. That was something that shouldn't happen to him at the moment, looking
from the stand point of what happened the day before. Just barely some minutes
that I went outside, he came after me, hastily like someone without a
destination. With his pace, Usain Bolt could barely outrun him. Gazing
upon him, I sensed that all he wanted at that moment was to go home. I dropped
him off along the road since he insisted that he doesn't want me to be seen
around him in public until he finds out who was behind his kidnapping. He acted
so cold and I felt for him. On the other hand, I was feeling some guilt. What
came over me that night? What was I thinking that made me have sex with someone
that is in grave danger? Was it a relief to him or more salt to his injury? All
these questions got me so worried. I drove straight to school. There was heavy
traffic jam along Douglas road. It was so bad that I got stuck in the
traffic for close to 30mins before I got through. People were busy discussing
what happened the day before that Monday. Some even seemed to know how the
accident really occurred though they knew not what happened behind the scene
while others were making up their own stories. At different points, people were
seen gathered and talking about it. I paid little or no attention to all that.
By the time I got to my lodge, it was already 8:00am. Everywhere was busy with
students who were rushing for lectures. The lodge where I stayed was a 3 storey
building with many rooms. The rooms were in such a way that you don't get
disturbed by your neighbor and my room was straight up to the second floor. I
knocked on the door, but there wasn't any response. I knocked some more time
before Sharon opened the door almost panting heavily. "Hi" she said.
Surprisingly, Joel was inside the room. I guess he had come over during the
weekend to see Sharon. I went inside and greeted Joel. "How was your
Sunday?" was the first question he asked me. "Fine" I replied.
"Hmmmm!, I see" he groaned. "Whatever" I murmured. I went
straight to where I kept my lecture Notes, picked them and headed straight for
lectures. Joel didn't say any other word to me till I left. He occupied himself
with his phone. Sharon on the other hand just wanted to cheer me up. She
cracked one or two jokes just to ease up the whole atmosphere because she sure
knew how I do get along with Joel after I found out that they were dating. But
her jokes really didn't help the moment because I wasn't in the mood for any of
that. When I got to school, the Sunday incident seemed to be the talk of the
day. Everybody wanted to have a say or two about the accident. Even
people that didn't read the news from the papers were making up their own
stories just to fit in the whole gist. I wondered how weird the world could be.
Nobody knew that I was a principal victim of the incident. I already made up my
mind not to say a word about what happened on Sunday to anyone. I wasn't even
sure on how to relate it to anyone either, and I wasn't willing to relate it to
Sharon. After the scandal with Joel, I barely confide anything to Sharon. Even
though I so much cherished our friendship, I found it very difficult to lay my
heart to her. After lectures that day, I retired to my lodge so weak and
stressed up. All day long I was only thinking of Frank, if his okay or not. I
called him more than 4 times that day just to make sure that he was still
breathing. I was scared also and automatically turned to a prayer warrior just
for Frank and me. Though Frank was confidently saying that he was the one in
trouble and not me, I on the other side of the story was seeing it in the
reverse case. Who was really up against me? I wasn't sure of that and I had no
clue of who could be a suspect. But Mike was a big uncertainty here. I was just
confused and I hoped that it doesn't get so bad.
Frank's side of the
story
Mike
was already out when I got home. Unlike him. He is the late time keeping type.
I wonder what must have made him go out that early. "Oh! so this is true.
He set me up and thought I was dead by now so that he will take over the
office, who knows what he is up to in my office?" besides, he didn’t call
me again the day before to know how was doing, seeing that I didn’t sleep at
home, I thought. I hurriedly left the house and rushed down to my office. It
was the longest journey I ever made, if you can relate. The road seemed longer
and I couldn't wait to get there. On getting there, I saw Mike cleaning up the
whole place, unlike him also. "Mike! Mike!! Mike!!! so it’s you! So, you
are behind all this. You are planning to take over my office, right? don't
worry, I will be back". I rushed out immediately but Mike stood there
looking at me in awe.
