Dial - Season 1 - Episode 77

Nobody could get past my passwords…

But yes, that d--n man who could walk through the heaviest lock-down security system in the world most definitely would find a password on a laptop a piece of cake!

I should have known better than to lie!
He just flipped the laptop open, and when he turned it round to face Dede, my Dial List was open and showing.


And she saw her name, just below the name of Akos!

“Oh, God!” I m0aned with horror as I stumbled forward blindly. “Dede, no, no, please no!”
She turned to face me, her lips trembling badly with the acute pain she was feeling, her tears blinding her as she put trembling fingers to her lips.


“Yao,” she whispered tremulously. “Tell me you didn’t type that, and I’ll believe you. Please tell me my brother used his powers to have my name appear on that list, and I’ll believe you! Tell me, Yao, please tell me you didn’t do this!”

And tears came to my eyes then.

I could’ve lied, yes. I could’ve said Nana b0s0mba had used his evil powers to edit my list and put her name there, but as I looked at her broken face, I knew the lies were enough. She was so badly hurt, and it had been because of my stupidity, because of my mad obsession with my Dial List.

I was probably the richest man on the continent, but at that moment I felt like a helpless little baby. Trembling, I dropped to my knees in front of her, reached out and took her right hand.
“Dede!” I whispered with pain and remorse. “Yes, yes, I did it. I put your name there!”

“Yao!” she cried, and wrenched her hand free from mine.

“No, no, Dede, please don’t do that to me!” I whispered with pain. “It doesn’t mean a thing, my love. What I felt with you was different, and I fought myself over putting your name there! It is like an obsession, a sick canker in my soul that I can’t control once it hits me! Believe me, my love, I can delete that list right now for you! I behaved like a bastard, yes, and you have a reason to be angry, but please, forgive me! Don’t let this break us up, please!”
“You’re sick, Yao!” she hissed down at me as her tears fell on my upturned face, and to see the agony on her face, the pain wracking through her, the raw wound in her soul portrayed by her face, really killed me at that moment.
“Dede, no, no, please, I beg of you!” I whimpered with a tortured soul, and reached out to grab her thighs, but she moved away from me.
She knelt down in front of me and looked at me with pure embittered eyes.
“Look at me, Yao,” she said softly, and I looked into her face.


She grabbed the edge of the bathrobe and cleaned her face fiercely, and then she looked sadly at me.


“I’m not going to cry over you, Yao,” she said tremulously. “You don’t deserve my tears, and you don’t deserve any woman’s tears. When I walk out of your doors today, you’ll never see me again.”
“No!” I screamed, feeling the anguish her words brought to my heart, feeling raw agony for the very first time in my life. “Dede, please, please! I was stupid, yes. I was uncouth, yes! This is nothing but a silly, stupid act on my part, but I beg of you, don’t leave me. Don’t leave me like this. Forgive me!


Let me do the right thing! I’ve never begged any woman to stay in my life, ever! My father was hurt by my mother, and I grew up under his hatred, hating all women, hating love! He made me vow never to fall in love! I’ve never felt any inkling of love for any girl! Maybe the Dial List is my way of getting revenge for my father, because even now, I love my father fiercely!
But, right now, I’m willing to admit I have been wrong, Dede! Right now, I can tell you that I feel pain, a pain I’ve never felt for any woman before! Don’t throw this feeling away, Dede, please!”



“I am throwing it away because you’re not worth it, Yao Biko!” she screamed into my face.
She reached out and put a hand on my shoulder.
“You remember that I asked for more drink last night, don’t you?” she asked quietly.
I nodded.
