Broken and bruised - Season 1 - Episode 35

Ron still has not understood why his father is bent on sending him abroad, he knows he messed up but his father’s action is uncalled for, now he has no
choice but to leave though he only wants do do one thing before he leaves and that’s talking to Melanie and explaining that he didn’t really abandon her
at the alter because he doesn’t love her or because she’s carrying another man’s pregnancy which she never called for but to tell her that he could not
go through with the wedding because she was carrying the blood of a,rapist, he will never stand touching her if that thought still remains in his head
……his next stop is in Perry’s room where she’s preparing to go to bed
“What do you want again” she asks making it looks so obvious that she wasn’t really interested in talking to her brother
“Can we talk lil Sis”
“No…it’s been a long day and I need some rest”

“I know but please Sis, don’t turn your back on me….at least not you” she finally swifts her attention on her brother
“If I tell you right now that I was not hurt and still I am not hurt with what you did, trust me Ronald I will be lying to to you and myself”

“I know…. and for that I’m really truly sorry”

“You see, I’m still getting used to the fact that you have never really changed, still the same Ronald you were back then” her words hurt him so much

“Dad wants me to go”
“Go where”
“I don’t know, he just wants me to get ready in two days time I will be leaving”
“Isn’t that what you wanted, then that’s a good thing”

“You know it isn’t, you are only saying this because you’re hurt”
“Doesn’t matter….”
“But….before I leave, I need a favour from you…. I need to speak with Mel and please you help me”

“You wish to speak with who?… Melanie?….. get serious”

“Please you help me or else you tell me where she is”
“I will tell you where she is unless you tell me why you developed cold feet all of a sudden”
“OK, I won’t lie to you because you’re Perry my sister…..I didn’t leave her because of the fact that she was raped or she’s pregnant… but the fact that
she’s carrying the blood of that bastard we don’t even know is what I could not take” Perry continues to stare at he brother unbelievably
“You surprise me by the day Ronald, what a cheap excuse”
“Yes it’s cheap but you can’t blame me” she furiously gets up
“You know what, I’m so glad you left her because she doesn’t deserve a hypocrite who is no where near being a saint”
“Don’t run that in my face”
“Sure…..u can’t waste me energy on you”
“Please tell me where she’s and understand why I’m trying to do this, I want to leave this burden behind so I can start a new life”

“Well, since you care to know…. you can tune on the TV in your room and watch the free drama you created, you shall see the back of a savour oh how I
wish they covered his face so we would all see,!!…. you will see a hero, a saviour who stood tall against the world as Melanie was going through hell,
to defend her like she was his sister, no body knew who he was because no body paid him any attention but the moment they started covering, he was already
heading out of there”

“What are you saying…. a stranger defended Mel… my Mel”

“Point of correction, you don’t have a Mel, you lost that right few hours ago and yes, he took her away and up to date no body knows where he took her to
and ehoi he is”……. Ron is not looking good……….

Monica is seated in her living room just reading some papers as the news bulletins run, since she received an assurance call from her son, she’s not really
worried about him not coming home tonight, she didn’t bother to ask him why he wasn’t coming home until when sees someone who looks like her son fighting
the news people

” Lisa…Lisa ” she calls out the maid who runs out immediately
“Is that not my son?…. what did Tobi put on” Lisa is too shocked to even react
“I could swear with my mother’s life that he’s the one boss” Monica gets up and starts to pace up and down, she had never paid attention to watch the news
from the beginning but now this whole thing is getting out if hand, she’s not liking this latest behavior of Tobi

“First it was coming home drunk and wasted but fighting In public like a common unemployed youth is the last stroll, I will not allow him to sink my company
down with him” she can now tell why he’s not coming home, she wonders where he could be, she calls the gateman who says Tobi is not there…she calls a
few of his friends but no one has seen Tobi or even heard from him……….
