Lust & Love (The enemy within) - Season 1 - Episode 18

The look on Abigail’s face when she saw me says it all about my sorry state. She held back a bit while still at the door. She looked stunned but then probably after coming to the realization of the magnitude of the situation at hand she started crying. She was crying out loud, she only lean back on the door that she had closed behind her and allowed the water to drop freely down her cheek. At first I looked away from her, I wasn’t sure if I wasn’t angry with her for introducing me to the woman who ruined everything. Later I looked at her direction and I could tell she felt real empathy for me. I don’t know if it was the alcohol but d--n! She looked pretty while crying. I raised my right hand to beckon her to come and lie beside me on the bed.

She rushed to my side and gave me hug! ‘I’m sorry…….I’m sorry’ she said while sobbing profusely like a 2 year old baby. I held her to my body with my right hand while my left hand caressed my beloved Vodka. ‘you don’t have to be, I brought it upon myself’ I retorted ‘no no, no Ben, you didn’t do anything wrong, I shouldn’t have dragged you into my family’s drama in the first place by introducing you to my sister’ I took a few seconds to digest what she said and then I giggled. I giggled a little more and then I turned it to laughter. ‘Why are you laughing’ a stunned and a bit relieved Abigail asked. I handed my bottle over to her and she collected it. She took a huge quantity of it I one rush. I have always known Abigail to be a lady who drinks. She took some more and I had to rescue the rest from her for my own sake. ’ahn ahn what kind of guest are you? Do you want to finish my drink?’ I playfully asked her. It is hard to believe that in the middle of all this I could still find time humor.

I stood up from the bed and moved towards the window which was on the opposite side of the entrance door. ‘You know I had always thought the greatest gift I had received in my entire life was the one you gave to me when you introduced Andral to me, it was like you gave me life, joy and when the babies started coming I felt I will forever be indebted to you. Now all I wish for is to go back in time and delete that very day from my life’. I looked back at Abigail; she had sat up resting on both hands to the back.

She just nodded back as if to concur with my assertion.

I could now notice the spaghetti top she was wearing, and her mini skirt that is closer to her waist than her kneel. She looked good. ‘you know it’s funny how things turned, you use to be ‘The Girl’ for me back in those days, you were the one I thought I was after until you literally gave me away to Andral, I guess I wasn’t your type after all, in fact as it turns out, fraudulent people are just your type and I seem to have a soft spot for people with murderous tendencies’ we both laughed at my joke for a while, then what followed was an awkward silence which lasted for almost a minute before Abigail finally broke the silence. ‘you were wrong’ she said, we both gaze upon each other momentarily and then she continued ‘you were wrong to think you weren’t my type, I was only scared of what my father will think of me if he found out I was in love with you – the child of a widowed school teacher’
