jilted - Season 1 - Episode 11

?Ambrose POV
?
It might take 30years to fall in love but it takes less than 30seconds to hate that same person.
Heaven knows Hanna was my world until Donatus showed up. I hate her now, passionately! I wouldn’t believe I could cut her out of my life in a twinkle of an eye. I had always forgiven her but this time? I find it hard. I just feel it’s no longer safe with her. Yes everyone deserves a second chance but you see, I have given her multiple chances to change but her past now resurfaces. So, that was how our nineteen months relationship crumbled.

Right now, I feel bad. I think i am the reason she’s in the sick bed. Hanna is now mentally challenged. She lost her mind after I jilted her and she’s has been in the psychiatric home since three months now.

Her mother harassed me everywhere we met, I was told I was the only solution to her problem but her mom won’t let me see her. I found myself getting comforted by Haira. She was always there with lunch and inspirational talks. She helped me manage a whole lot of my money unlike her sister who might have squandered everything. Infact, I think i am in love again. I don’t know how this sounds but Haira is what my father would describe as “Close to perfect” . She hang up at my place every Saturday and do the laundry. Even though the laundry business she asked me to start was booming, she refused me from taking my clothes to the laundry shop. She sings beautifully and she’s now a Star. With a lot of prayers, belief, loyalty and sweet voice, it took her only six months to get recognized. She jumped from show to show. Humble as ever! I am sure her father can’t stop raising shoulder now that he had a music star in his home.
I and Fiks are back, he deserves a second chance. knowing fully well how the male organs is programmed, I think i understand him, Hanna was irresistible.


Life can be really funny. My mom is already on my neck for a bride when I just jilted one three months ago. Haira got her first car, Toyota Venza. Not that it was really her first car, but this was the first she bought with her funds. I always sent words through her to Hanna, I felt really bad that a lady was battling insanity because of me.



?Haira POV?
The sweetest thing that would happen to you in life is love. Ambrose is too nice of a guy to have had Hanna has a girlfriend for that long. I am not judging my sister now because she obviously showed she’s changed before she became mad. but, I imagined the past and what she had done to me. Donatus had sent me her nudes and mocked my family calling both of us “Cheap”. Life was hard for me. Donatus was my secondary school love and I loved him sincerely. After I broke up with him, I remained single up till this moment. One thing Donatus never knew was that I am a virgin. I made sure not to have sex with him or mention anything of such to him.

Isn’t it crazy to say I love Ambrose?
There’s a saying that goes thus “When the desired become unavailable, the available becomes desired”. Even though I don’t have much relationship experience, I saw lust in Ambrose’s eyes. The way he hugs me, trip me and always carve for my attention oh, I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me he likes me.

But who does that? My sister is laying in yabaleft hospital bed and am here loving her ex? I must be stupid. Now, I just need to mind myself and face music.

Today of course is another Saturday, I have to go do Ambrose’s laundry and cook him weekend food. it had become a rite.
“Like God i thought you wouldn’t show up, it’s lunch time imagine?” He pushed me into his chest, I love the feel.
“I went to see Hanna and only my way here, the traffic held me down” I explained cleaning the side of his mouth.
“Oh, how’s she?” He asked as we walked into the sitting room.

“You know she’s violent even before the incident so it’s kinda complicated, she’s not improving at all” I dropped my head into my palm.
He dragged me into his warmth and I sobbed bitterly. Next thing was us kissing passionately. How this happened I don’t know but thank God for self control, I pulled out.
“This isn’t right Ambrose!” I turned my back at him. he turned me around and force kissed me again

“Your cooking skills is driving me crazy, you have a pure heart and you are extremely intelligent. Now tell me why I can’t have you?”
“Because I am Hanna’s sister! ” I snapped before walking to the kitchen.
“Hanna is my ex, she’s not even here so what baby?” I heard him scream from the sitting room. Holding the match box, I soaked it in my tears, I am in love but can’t proceed because he’s my sister’s ex.
“If you date me, you would be committing the same offence you are punishing her for” I said holding my tears back.


A year later.

?General POV?
When you are in love, you don’t make excuses! Haira tried, she made excuses and yanked him off for a few month but it just didn’t work. She fell in love and soon had Ambrose all to herself. it was just too much joy for her as Ambrose spoilt her with everything aside sex. She still wanted to be sure it was going to lead somewhere good before she gave him her pride. The society would talk, their parents would disagree, family members would scold them and if Hanna happens to regain her mind and meet them acting love up, Haira would be in big soup. It was a low key relationship but her dad noticed it and told her to do what makes her happy. Ambrose bounced back to life, he now owned a big farm and does exporting and importing. He resigned from work and faced his relationship squarely. This woman he had in his life has everything and he won’t lose her to another man because her sister was his ex. No way. He had to clean his anus once and for all.


Haira and Hanna would be turning 25 in a day time. Hanna had spent her 24th and 25th birthday in the psychiatric home. Though Hanna was getting better, she still screams Ambrose’s name. Whenever she does that, Haira feel bad, she thinks she’s a betrayal, she had Ambrose in her custody. Ambrose was loving and spoiling her yet Hanna was in pains dying because of him.


Haira wanted to celebrate their 25th birthday party, she thought of taking a cake to the hospital and organizing a small family get together party.


On the day of the birthday, after returning from the psychiatric hospital, family and friends gathered in her father’s sitting room to felicitate with them.

Ambrose walked in at the middle of the party, he went down on his kneels in front of Haira and screamed it loud “Would you marry me?”. Haira was embarrassed, she shook like a leaf in the chair she was sitting. Recognising Ambrose has Hanna’s groom, friends and family murmured bitter words.
“Mogbe mogbe!” Hanna’s mom words as she sprang out of the chair she was sitting. Ambrose been determined dragged Haira out of her seat and stood up to her.
“No matter the yards of veil used to cover the light of our love, it will still shine. I have known you for a year and six months now, we have dated for seven months and I wouldn’t let you go because I am scared of what the world would say. If I married Hanna, I would have been the one murmuring bitter words all my life. But if I marry you, we would watch them murmur bitterness all their lives. Baby, look at me and tell me we aren’t meant for each other, shouldn’t you fight and stand for what you want? The room was silent, so Ambrose voice was carried by the air and it echoed high and loud. Haira cried for a while, closed her eyes and breathed in.

“In as much as I don’t want to hurt my family, I think i know what I want and I want to take charge of my life, if Hanna was here today, I am sure she would understand because she had done worse in the past. Please don’t get me wrong people, I am not on a revenge mission, I just found love” Haira looked at Ambrose and smiled “You gave me everything in the whole universe, why should I say no to my dream husband?” She sticked out her hand and watch the ring slipped in.

There was chaos, Hanna’s mom rushed at Ambrose and bite him in the chest.
Hanna’s father quickly interrupted. “If they want to get married, let them be. Hanna was just the rope between this two. It was Hanna’s destiny to join this beautiful souls together”

Hanna’s mom in her rage jumped at her husband’s ear and bite it hard.
The next day, headlines : “Beautiful music star accepts proposal ring from insane twin sister’s ex”

“Haira and Hanna’s mom jumped at people biting them like a police dog after one daughter accepts to marry the ex of the other daughter”

Now, Calabash don break my people ????
