*continues*
“Cyndii” Mike gasped as soon as he saw me. I breathed deeply and stared at him with a coloured face. Stella’s abusive words really hurt me alot, it was a miracle i still was able to stand on my feet.

“leave us alone” he ordered her. She eyed me for the last time and returned to the apartment. I drew close, gave him the food flask and heaved a sigh.

“it’s breadfruit, mum sent me to deliver it. You can keep the flask” i said coldly, turned and made to leave.

“stop please, you can’t just go like that” he begged nervously. I smiled bitterly, turned and gave him another look. He couldn’t even invite me into his apartment, what a shame.

“don’t worry i’m perfectly fine, i have to get going” i answered,
“but wait a minute, let me get my car keys and take you to your lodge” he offered.
“i said i’m alright” i insisted with a slightly raised tone.

My eyes were filled with tears as i made my way to my lodge. I couldn’t believe all that just happened. I couldn’t believe life could be so bitter. My experience that evening looked as if i took a glimpse at my future. I couldn’t believe i was caught up in such a mess. I couldn’t believe myself, my fate and everything around me.

“could Mike be lying to me?, is he just trying to take advantage of me?, is he truly in love with me? What if everything is just a mirage?” how do i know my destiny?” i wondered. I thought of Benjamin, i remembered Amara’s warning, i remembered how it all began.

“dear Lord show me the way” i prayed. It’s one thing to be in love and a dangerous thing to be in love with the wrong person. Mike really knew how to sweep me off my feet, but love alone can’t guarrantee a happy future especially in Africa.

Getting to my lodge, I rushed straight to Amara’s room without caring to stop at mine. My friend really was so shocked to see my swollen eyes. She quickly held me, and stared at me with curiousity.

“don’t tell me something happened at home?” she asked nervously,
“no no no, it’s Mike, i don’t understand what is happening anymore” i cried and poured out my heart to her. She quietly listened and hugged me.

“no one is above mistake dear, the most important thing is realising your mistakes on time. I warned you earlier but you choosed to follow your heart. This is Africa, and folks reason differently down here. You can’t swim against the tide, you just can’t.” she murmured.

For the first time, my eyes opened to reality and my thoughts ran wildly. I didn’t know what to believe.

I was in love with Mike but i had no choice than to seek for a way to suppress my feelings.
