Alone - Season 1 - Episode 42

I was behind the wheels while Gospel was beside me,giving me directions on how to handle the steering. We were in Okpara square where he had insisted to be the one teaching me how to drive instead of going to the driving school where I had registered.

I had successfully reversed the car and was going to continue moving when I saw Hillary’s car drive into the square. I quickly turned off the ignition and watched the car, waiting to see whoever it was he had come in with. Surprisingly, he got down from the car and started walking to Gospel’s car. My face turned into a frown.

Gospel: Your boyfriend is here. Did you invite him?

Me: I didn’t.

Gospel got down from the car and went to Hillary who was now close to the car. They shook hands and said something to themselves before Gospel walked away and Hillary came and opened the car.


He occupied where Gospel had being sitting and faced me.

Hillary: Bae how’re you?

Me: Are you stalking me or what?

Hillary: No I’m not.

Me: Then who told you I’m here.

Hillary: Kamsi did. I went to the house but I found her instead.

Yes. Kamsi came back the previous day and she was looking very robust and happy.

Hillary: Bae I’m sorry. Please don’t punish me this much. I know I wronged you but I’m sorry. The temptation and urge was just too much for me to handle. I…

I got down from the car, closed the door and leaned on it. I’m done hearing whatever he has to say. I’m done with letting myself fall so cheaply for men who will spare no time in hurting me.

He also got down and came to my side..

Hillary: Bae

Me: Hillary please. Get out of here. I don’t want to embarrass you. Get out.

Hillary: If that’s what will make you forgive me, fine, embarrass me,do anything to me but please, forgive me. I can’t be without you, I can’t even concentrate anymore. I’m deeply sorry.

Me: Whether you eat,sleep or concentrate less, its none of my fu’cking business. When you were with Rose, did you pause to think about me? Listen,don’t make me remember what I’ve tried to forget and don’t make me forget my hand on your face.

Hillary: Do it.

Me: Get lost.

I opened the car and got in,locking all doors immediately and driving away. I don’t care anymore. Why should I?

He was there while I rode to and fro, angrily stepping on the brakes and honking nonstop. At about 45minutes later, Gospel called and asked me to stop. I halted the car and waited for him to come to me. He did,asked me to get down and I did. We both walked to a shade.

Gospel: You’re angry. What’s wrong? Did he say anything to you?

Remember that Gospel isn’t yet aware of what happened between Hillary and myself.

Gospel: Amanda?

Me: He didn’t say anything.

Gospel: Are you two okay?

Me: Let’s go home.

Gospel: No. I’m calling him. I need to know what’s happening.

Me: Suit yourself.

He walked away and went to where Hillary was standing. The next minute, they were walking up to me.

Gospel: So both of you, indulge me, tell me what’s happening here.

Me: Nothing.

Gospel: Man, tell me.

Hillary looked at me before he started talking, saying everything that had happened. I was mad with rage. How dare he?
Hillary: But I’m really sorry. I am.

Gospel: Amanda….
Me: Don’t call my name, he has the effrontery to say he’s sorry? He did it the first time and didn’t tell me. What if I hadn’t caught them that second time? Will he have told me? You guys should just not mention my name here. If he wants to continue stalking my life,fine,I’m out of here.
