8PM
Amara walked into my room with a calm smile on her face. I really wasn’t happy seeing her that evening but i couldn’t deny her access into my room because she was like a sister to me even though i felt she no longer was watching my back.
“i’m just coming from Benjamin’s room” she muttered as she sat on my bed. I carried my teddy bear, played with it and ignored her comment.
“i don’t understand you anymore, you are very obnoxious these days” she added. I scoffed and rolled my eyes,
“oh please” i murmured, while she stared at me and shook her head,
“i can’t believe you are allowing Mike to spoil the sweet relationship you enjoy with Benjamin, think my dear, think” she cautioned as if she was my mother. I dropped my teddy bear and looked up at her seriously.
“did Benjamin tell you how he humiliated and almost hit me hours ago, simply because he saw Mike arguing with me. Would i be arguing with mike if i was giving him the green light eeh? Abeg leave me jor, infact i’m tired of this relationship, i want to be left alone” i poured out bitterly, while she listened to my outburst attentively with both hands on her jaw. Her face coloured with disbelief and surprise.
“i can’t believe all i’m hearing, Cyndii i really do think you are under a strong influence, come on get a hold of yourself and put yourself in his shoes, wouldn’t you have assumed the worst?” she asked as she drew near and held my left hand.
“seriously dear i don’t want to talk about this anymore, i want to forget about everything, only God knows my destiny, nothing i do can change it” i murmured seriously with pain in my heart. She shrugged and stood up in resignation.
“good night dear friend, let me go and sleep jare” she murmured and left silently.

7AM THE NEXT DAY
I sang God’s praises as i prepared for 8am sunday mass. I woke up that morning very refreshed, bright, happy and in high spirit without actually knowing the reason.
I soon heard gentle knocks on my door as i arranged my hair. I quietly opened my door and held my breathe when i saw Benjamin standing on my door-way and staring hopefully at me. I really wasn’t expecting him but i equally wasn’t surprised to see him. I knew he’d come to beg sooner or later.

I forced out a smile and made way for him to enter my room.
“happy sunday” i polietly greeted.
“there isn’t anything happy about this sunday, anyway i came to apologize, i’m sorry for what happened yesterday, please forgive me” he atoned without looking at me, as if he was ashamed of what he was doing, which made me ignore him and continue with ‘my church preparation’.
“baby please let’s not allow that guy or anything to come between us. I know i over-reacted yesterday and i do apologize for it” he added solemnly.

I turned, faced him, drew closer and held his hands,
“you said many hurtful things yesterday which got me thinking about our relationship, anyway i only have one question” i quietly murmured as i searched his face curiously,
“what is it my love?” he asked quietly. I breathed deeply and continued
“i know you hardly lie to me because i havn’t given you any reason to do such, now look me in the eyes and tell me you do trust me” i prayed. But my request as simple as it was, really drew out a little frown from his face. He instantly looked down and murmured something inaudible.
“speak up dear and please look at me” i pleaded hopefully.
“baby i can’t lie over such trifle request, please let’s settle our differences first. We can talk about this subject later” he answered quietly while my face instantly fell.
“there is no relationship without love, no love without trust, i can’t continue with this till you start to trust me again. I suggest you go back and build your trust” i requested calmly with a little confidence and air.
“what!” he exclaimed loudly in disbelief and total shock. The fire in his eyes sparkled like a burning dry bush. I instantly backed away in order not to get burnt by his fury.
