Love with bitter tear - Season 1 - Episode 16

☆☆

Sammy: “Ehn? So you think I
am dumb? I know what it is of
course: you were doing with a
lady what you are supposed to
be doing with my dad. What
did my social studies teacher call it
again o…”he put his second
finger on his lips trying to
recollect what he learnt in a
social studies class. “Choi! I can’t
remember now, but she said
it’s an abomination and infact it
has been banned in Nigeria,
any lady
caught doing it will be sent to
kirikiri prison. Sebi you came to
replace my mum! Sebi all you
do is shout at me in this house.

You will be going to prison very
soon” he said giving her a
tongue out. She thought for
some time and
remembered how he had used
his sister’s disappearance
against
him several times and decided
to
see if it will work again.

Ophelia: “Have you forgotten
so soon?” she said in a whisper,
sitting down gently beside
him.

Sammy: “Forgotten
what?”

Ophelia: “Have you
forgotten that
Annie’s disappearance was
your fault? I am going to your
school tomorrow, I will tell everyone
in your class what a terrible
brother you are. How you could not
even take care of one tiny
baby.

I will also tell your dad about it so
he can start blaming you too just
the same way everyone in school
will blame you. You will no longer
have any friend and people will
start running away from you.
You know I can do it right?”
Sammy: “Aunty I am sorry, I
will not tell dad what I saw so
don’t tell anyone this please?”

Ophelia: “Then from now on
you will start doing everything I
ask you to do without complaining
to anyone? Just imagine how
much Annie must be suffering now
because of how terrible a
brother you are? She might
even be dead.

God I pity poor Annie” she said
pretending to be very sad.

Sammy: “Don’t ever say she is
dead again!” he yelled on top
of his voice.

Ophelia: “Hey! No
screaming at
me from now on no matter
what I say to you otherwise the
whole world will hear about how
cowardly you are. Do you get
me?”

Sammy: “Yes but please
don’t say she might be dead, I know she
is not dead, I am praying very
hard for her” his voice quivered with
sadness.

Ophelia: “I guess we
have a deal now.

That’s my boy!” she said
patting his head. “Gloria you
can now come out, we are good
now” she called out to her
friend who remained in the room so
she could take care of the
situation.

She came out clutching her bag
in front of her.

Gloria: “I have to
go now. I have
something I need to tell you so
come by the house whenever
you are free okay?”

Ophelia: “Okay! Take care of
yourself for me” she said
winking at her embarrassed friend as
Sammy scrutinized her from
head to toe.

Sammy: “I can’t believe
she is pregnant and still doing that
abominable thing. As far as my
teacher taught me, women
cannot get women pregnant.

Hmmmm! My dad is in trouble”
he thought to himself and
shook his
head in disgust. === The next
day, she prepared and
went to Gloria’s place. She met
her
husband who was preparing to
go out. He eyed her
suspiciously
when he saw her, the memory
and doubts of that day still
lingered on in his mind. He was
never comfortable with her, he
thought it was because she
was
too beautiful but now he
wasn’t
so sure anymore. Gloria made
signs to her to wait
for her husband to leave so she
sat down quietly watching
music
videos on Hiptv. She sprang up
as
soon as Johnson had left and
went to meet her friend,
hugged her at arm’s length
because of her
pregnancy and place a light
kiss on her lips.

Ophelia: “So you
said you wanted
to see me? Here I am” she said
spreading her arms.

Gloria: “Yes I said I wanted to see
you. I don’t know how you will
take it but I still have to let it
out”
she said looking downcast.

OphelIa: “Hmmmmm! What is
it?”

Gloria: “Please don’t take it
the wrong way.

I want you to
know this is breaking my heart too
but I don’t know how to keep it up. I
want us to stop what we are
doing right away. I want to be
a good mum to my child and a
good wife to my husband”

Ophelia: “What are we doing
that needs to be stopped? What are
you talking about? It’s not like
I am stopping you from being a
good mum and wife to
whoever you want so what are you
talking about?”

Gloria: “I want
us to put an end to this relationship”

Ophelia: “What? What are you
talking about? If it’s a joke
please stop it cos it’s not funny” she
sobered up immediately.

Gloria: “I am serious dear. I
really am. I can’t do this anymore.

Let’s break up, you should face your
new home too and find a way
to start loving your husband too.

I know how much I made mine
suffer, Richard is a nice guy,
and so please be a good wife to
him”

Ophelia: “Breaking up
with me is one thing but don’t ever
lecture me about how to run my own
marriage.

How can you break up
with me now that I need you
the most? How can you?”

Gloria: “I am sorry dear”

Ophelia: “you
promised me your
husband will not get in the
way of our love, have you forgotten so
soon? Have you forgotten all
the moments we share? I don’t
think I can live a sane life without
you.

Please reconsider your decision?

If you want me to wait till you
give birth, I will but don’t tell
me we are breaking up okay?”

Gloria: “Well I mean it. We are
over from now on. We can be
friends but nothing more. If that is not
okay by you then I will have no
other option but to cut all
relations with you”

Ophelia: “I
swear you will regret
this. You will regret this” she
said,
picked up her bag and dashed
out of the house blindly. ===
Richard noticed that his wife
was even more withdrawn than
ever.

She acted like someone who
was heartbroken and he could not
remember ever doing anything
wrong to her. Each time he
tried talking to her about it
she’d shun
him down but one thing he
could
not still fathom was why she
was
so rigid on bed. All she did was
lie
down while he worked his guts
out, he could not remember
the last time he enjoyed
making love
to her. That night after a bout
of
boring and unsatisfying love
making, he rolled to his side of
the bed, looked at her and
realised she had turned her
back to him…

Richard: “Honey!

What exactly is
happening between us? I can’t
seem to remember ever doing
anything to warrant this kind
of
treatment from you. What is
going
on? Please talk to me, your
silence is killing”

Ophelia: “You
don’t know what
you did? Your offence is not
letting me be, I hate having sex
with you, I hate your stupid
hard body, I miss Gloria” she
thought to herself as tears flowed down
her face. “Aren’t you satisfied
with the one you just did now?

Should we go again?” she
asked unemotionally.

Richard: “You
are getting me
wrong baby. The sex is one of
it but what I am mostly alarmed
at is your attitude towards me.

Did I unknowingly do something
wrong to you?”

Ophelia: “Yes you did! I lost my
heart because of you and that
Johnson, I hate you two with
passion” she thought but
ignored his question. He was becoming
more annoying with each
passing minute.

Richard: “Aren’t you the one I am
talking to madam?”

Ophelia: “Richie you did nothing
wrong to me. Can we just sleep
now?”

Richard: “Fine then! Just
know that this is really frustrating,
put yourself in my shoes and you
will know how terrible I feel these
days” he said feeling so
disappointed and forlorn. She
said nothing even though in
her mind, she felt sorry for him but
she just was too heartbroken
herself to meet anybody’s
expectation of her at that
moment. === Some weeks
later, she sat in front
of the mirror in her room,
thinking of how to get another
lover to satisfy her sexual
needs
since no matter how hard she
tried, or how hard Richard
tried, he just wasn’t getting her
there.

The whole thing disgusted her
especially since he could not
give her orals the way Gloria used
to.

She heard the door open and
heard footsteps approaching
the corridor which led to
Sammy’s
room and knew he was back.
She
went and stood by the door
waiting for him to show up.

Ophelia: “Hey Sammy Come
here!”
she ordered as soon as she
sighted him.

Sammy: “Good
afternoon aunty”
he said wearily.

Ophelia: “Nothing good about
this afternoon, just come here
now” she said, turned and
walked back to the bed while
he
followed her. “How old did you
say you are again?”

Sammy: “I am seven year plus.
Hope there is no problem?”

Ophelia: “Not at all but I want
you to do something for me.

Come closer…”
