Val's Diary Series (Life As An Adult) - Season 1 - Episode 44

☆☆☆

Two weeks later, precisely on a cool monday morning. I got a very disturbing call from Adaora’s mother.

I really was about making the first updates of the day on my blog when the call came through. The question she asked me was cold and direct, instantly sending my heart into a freezing point.
“do you think Adaora is capable of harming anyone?” she asked.
“hmmm, i don’t understand mum” i murmured softly.
“do you think my daughter can attempt to take someone’s life?. I know quite alright she got a hot temper just like me, but do you think she can go that far?” she asked quietly.
“of course not” i answered instantly, wondering what prompted the question. Ever since i left Abuja two weeks ago, i kept myself calling Adaora nor even Tessy.

“what’s happening?” i asked curiously.
“well your Tessy and her friends are trying very hard to pin a crime on my daughter. They are accusing her of sending assassins after them. Funny enough a policewoman who turns out to be Tessy’s friend is the one making all the accusations. I just don’t know what to believe anymore” she poured out, while i breathed deeply with surprise.
“like seriously?, of course such accusation can never sell” i laughed.

“No wonder Tessy hasn’t called me since i left her house weeks ago. I never knew she was up to something” i reasoned.
“c’mon mum, you shouldn’t get yourself worked up over the little accusation. We all know that it will result to nothing, just let me call Tessy, i will get back to you shortly. Hope Adaora is safe?” i asked.
“yea she’s with me, but it was hard getting the police to release her. I virtually used all my resources to get it done” she answered.

“i’m really sorry for everything. It’s all my fault” i apologized, hung up and dialled Tessy’s number. She answered right away.
“i have been expecting your call” she breathed quietly.
“you simply shut yourself from me because of the plans you had for Adaora. How on earth do you think hanging a crime on her head can help our relationship. You made me a promise to help me marry any woman of my choice. Why are you doing this?” i shouted desperately. Tessy kept quiet for some seconds before replying.

“listen to yourself Val. Do you think i’m capable of doing such a disgusting thing?. I have got no issues with Adaora but instead she’s the one that has issues with me. She’s the one that needs to grow up. You should have asked how everything happened before pouring your anger on me” she answered calmly, but instead of calming down, my heart throbbed more faster.
“after you left Abuja, i tried making peace with Adaora. I called her like an honourable lady i’m, but she shunned me. I tried begging her to set up a meeting but she declined. Then last Saturday, when i was out with Elinor, to celebrate with a friend Patience who got promoted to the rank of a police D.S.P, i got a call from Adaora, asking me to meet her at an eatery a distance away from where i was hanging out with my friends. I had to beg them to accompany me. It was exactly 7:15pm when we got there. Your Adaora was with a fair plump boy, and the moment we arrived, she kind of attacked me, saying all sort of nonsense which forced my friends to intervene, by asking her to shut up and give me some respect but her male friend grabbed a bottle, almost stabbing me and causing a big scene. He threatened us right there, claiming his father is an Army General and that he can do anything to us and get away with it. He equally said Adaora is his wife to be. We all had to leave when the manager of the place showed up, but can you believe that as i stopped at Elinor’s house to drop her, minutes after, a car almost blocked us, forcing me to take off. We were shot at as i managed to drive away and luckily nobody was injured. If you were in my shoes what will you do?, what will you believe?. Anyway i did nothing, but my friend, the cop who was with us did. I think you should ask Adaora to tell you the whole truth. She has a boyfriend who joined her to threaten me, and one of them carried out the threat, or do you think it was just a coincidence??. I think you should ask Adaora about the boy and let her tell you the truth” she narrated, while my heart sank….

Tessy’s story really sounded very unreal and stunning, nevertheless i made up my mind to keep aside my pride and make contact with Adaora in order to hear her side of the story.

I dialled Adaora’s phone number but she refused to pick up the call.
