Love with bitter tear - Season 1 - Episode 12

Prof. Harry: “This girl has finally
succeeded in ruining our family
name. How on earth did she think
to do something like this?” he
barked. “Woman get up right
away and get me my phone. You and your daughter will have to
pay for this in a very bitter way”

Obiageli: “Please forgive her, she
was only being childish. You
know she has never being in love
before and we never really told
her we had agreed to her
marrying the widower. Please ehn?” Prof.

Harry: “How on earth could
she go on her knees and propose
to a man to the public’s scrutiny?
How could she do something so
cheap despite how beautiful and
intelligent she is? To make the matters worse, the man didn’t
seem to have agreed right away.

Oh my God!” he slumped down
on the longest settee and clasped
his head in his hands.

Obiageli: “Please take it easy my
dear. If only we know where she
must have gone to…”

Prof. Harry: “Where else if not the
man whose name I don’t even
know’s place? And I promise you,
I will deal with the two of them. I
swear I will make him suffer for
making my daughter into this shameless adult she just became
ever since he showed up in her
life. My own daughter begging a
man to marry her? What a
pathetic and miserable girl” he
stood and started pacing around furiously. A thought occurred to
him and he smiled mischievously.

“Where is the phone I asked you
to bring for me? There is nothing
you know how to do right in
your life, how could you have been able to bring her up
properly?” he berated his wife
who stood immediately to do as
she was bid. As soon as the
phone was handed to him, he
called the police station. “Someone is holding my
daughter against her will at his
house, please can you help us
look into him? He works at Accent
Nigeria but I doubt he stays along
that side, he must stay somewhere around mainland.

Yes! I will get back to you when I
have confirmed his name and
address. Thank you very much”
he said and hung up the phone.

Obiageli: “Who did you call?”

Prof. Harry: “Isn’t that obvious
enough? Police, I called the
police” he replied impatiently.

Obiageli: “But it has not gotten up
to that. Why lie against an
innocent man when is your
daughter causing all the trouble?”

Prof. Harry: “I can do whatsoever
I want. He is tampering with my
daughter’s honour, why will I let
him go scot-free? Please don’t
even bother saying anything any
further. You hardly make any sense”

Obiageli: “Hmmmmmm!” She
sighed sadly and kept mum even
though she had a thousand
things to say back to him. ===

Ophelia: “Well, there is nothing
you can do about it little boy. Just
concentrate on being a good step
son to me so I can be nice to you.

As you know, I am very good at
using the cane”

Sammy: “I will tell my dad if you
touch me or Annie. You cannot be
our mum no matter what” he said
and ran out angrily.

Ophelia: “Spoilt little brat! I will
deal…” she was interrupted by
the ringing of her phone. She
reached out and picked it. She
was surprised to know that it was
one of Richard’s colleagues known as Kenny who was on call
with her.” What can I do for you
Kenny? Hope there is no problem
at all?”

Kenny: “There is a problem. A
very big problem at that. It’s
Richard” she said breathlessly
into the receiver.

Ophelia: “Tell me what happened
already” she yelled.

Kenny: “He just got arrested by
some police men”

Ophelia: “Arrested? Why? What
did he do?”

Kenny: “I don’t know really.

They did not tell us”

Ophelia: “Okay which police
station?”

Kenny: “Lekki Phase1 police
station” she said and hung up the
phone. She picked Rebecca’s car key
from where it was kept in her
drawer and hastily drove out of
the compound. The traffic she met
on the road was killing that it
took her an hour to reach Lekki from Mainland. On getting to the
police station, she met her
parents at the front desk
apparently waiting for her. She
ignored them and went straight
to the front desk officer who was lustfully staring at her.

Ophelia: “Officer please I came to
see the man who was brought in
some time ago”

Officer: “What’s his name?” he
asked smiling sheepishly.

Ophelia: “His name is Richard
Rotimi” Prof. Harry who had been sitting
waiting to see if she will
acknowledge him lost his
patience at last.

Prof. Harry: “Ophelia follow me
now! We are going home” he
barked. “I told you officer, he was
holding my daughter under
duress. Please help me deal with
him very well, not even his parents should know his
whereabouts” he said and drew
his daughter forcefully out of the
station. ===

Ophelia: “Dad did you order
Richard’s arrest?” she said as
soon as they stepped inside the
house but he ignored her. ”Dad…
I asked if that was your doing?”
she asked again jumping in front of him.

Prof. Harry: “You cheap thing!”
she fumed, raised his hand and
landed a very dirty slap to her
cheek. “You even have the guts
to ask me questions uhn? After
disgracing yourself with that filthy thing in prison?”

Ophelia: “What disgrace?” she
asked holding her cheek as she
fought to make her blurred sight
clearer. She was oblivious of the
fact that her parents had seen the
video of her proposition to Richard.

Prof. Harry: “How could you
propose to a man? How crazy
were you? And then had the guts
to run away from home?”

Ophelia: “I did what I did because
I cared about him, a feeling which
is alien to you and that is why you
will never understand. If given
the chance, I will go on my knees
over and over again for him in the presence of the whole world
because I care more about what I
want than the opinion of the
world. You are and your
reputation can go to blazes for all
I care”

Prof. Harry: “Obiageli… get your
daughter out of my sight before I
do something we will all regret
later. That boy is going to rot in
prison, yes he will and I will see to
that” he said and walked furiously out on them.

Obiageli: “Go and beg him now. If
you know you really care about
that boy like you claim, go and
beg him now”

Ophelia: “I will not! I will never
beg the son of a b---h over
anything again, I will do
everything my own way from
now on”

Prof. Harry: What did you just call
me?

Obiageli: Papa Ophelia, take am
easy biko, You know your
daughter is not in her right
senses now. “But Ophelia, how
about the boy? Do you want him
to die in prison?”

Ophelia: “I will bail him out. I will
go back to the police station
now” she said fidgeting with the
car keys that were still in her
hand. “But the car is in the police
station, s--t! Oh Richie!” she said and began to cry. “He might lose
his job cos of this, what do I do
mum?”

Obiageli: “Go and beg your dad,
besides you have been
grounded. You cannot step out of
this house till further notice”

Ophelia: “What? Who does such a
thing to his grownup daughter? I
will be 29 years in few months’
time remember? Mum I am really
not liking this. I need to do
something fast, his children are all alone in the house with no one to
take care of them, if not to the
police station, please allow me to
go back to the house. Please
mum” she pleaded tearfully.

Obiageli: “Go and tell your dad
that. I have nothing else to say to
you. I really don’t” she said and
left her in the sitting room. She paced restlessly around,
thinking of what her next step
should be. He thought of Richard
in prison and Sammy who would
be waiting for him all night long.

She started to cry. Ophelia seems having good feelings for the kids. === Sammy kept checking time over
and over again. It was past nine
and his dad was not back yet.

Annie kept crying and crying
while he kept trying to stop her to
no avail. The baby was hungry and he did not know how to mix
her food, Ngozi was the one
doing it before but she was no
longer there. He sang Rihanna’s
‘Work’ to her but she wailed even
louder and he too started to cry. Sammy: “Dad where are you
now? Why on earth do you have
to stay so late? Mum…” the words
choked in his throat as he said
mum. Annie reduced her crying a
little on seeing that he was crying too. “Baby… you are hungry
right? What should I do? My hand
cannot even reach where they
kept your food, even I am
hungry” he said in between tears.
He checked the time again and realised it was past 10 and
decided to walk outside a bit to
wait for their dad. As soon as he stepped out of the
gate, he saw an okada man with
a passenger approaching them
slowly, he thought for a while
that it was his dad at the
passenger seat until they went closer, snatched Annie from him
and zoomed off. He stood
dumfounded for a minute and
started running after them when
realization of what happened had
dawned on him.

Sounds like from Frying
Pan to Frying FIRE? What
happened to Little Annie? What
should Ophelia do?
