Memories Of Cupid - Season 1 - Episode 32

Jimi took more swigs of alcohol as he sat on
the sofa.


“why would she do a thing like that?”

“why did she hurt me after knowing fully well he loved and treasured her” those were the questions that filled he thoughts. He glared at the red rose and big sculptured painting of them holding hands together under a moonlight that shone brightly. He had also got her a small heart shaped locket which was simple and delicate. The heart shape was outlined with small diamonds.

He had wanted to giveall to her at the bar the other day but she didn’t come. He had looked for her everywhere, asked her friends and all but they had all said they saw her walk out of the hall and anita even told him she had gone to see him at the bar.

“she probably went shagging” he breathed.

The door creaked open and violet walked in. she was wearing a blue playsuit and cream heels of about six inches.

“Jimi. would you like some fruitjuice” She asked, looking at him with heavy-lidded eyes which was well coated with mascara.

“Get the hell out of here now!”

“But” she squealed as she was cowered in fear. She had never seen Jimi in such a terrible and angry state. She could feel the effect of his waves of anger on her skin.

“now!!!”

“Sewedo, don’t you think Jimi has been distant these days and hes been drinking” Vio asked as she watched her favourite catoon star on the tv. She took a tentative sip of whipped vanilla cream and the flavour burst in her tongue. She licked her mouth slowly. Sewedo watched as she wolfed down some chocolate syrup.

“Are you sure of what you are saying?”
Sewedo asked, returning to the game he was playing on his tab. He knew he couldnt wholly take in his younger sister’s words.

“Yes, I went to his wing yesterday and I met him drinking…” she replied with a deep smoulder in her little eyes.She took a bite of the chocolate syrup again and closed her eyes in bliss.she savoured the chocolate and the fruity sweetness of the syrup. They satisfied her cravings for something tasty to munch on.

“Fruit juice? Wine?” he purred.

“No! alcohol”

“What?” he flinched and waggled his eyebrows. He looked surprised and shocked as if he were a little child and had just been told santa clause didn’t exist.

“Are you sure of what you’re saying Vio?” he asked with a dreamy sigh.

“well, I have told you what I saw, you can go confirm yourself. Maybe because he knows dad wants to remarry too and you know he can never be in support of that”

“What? Dad wants to remarry? When?who?”
his mind reeled off as his head gyrated. He stared at the blanched wall as if the sun rose and set right there.

*************************
It was six months Vera and Nella got married already. How time flies! Their sixth month anniversary was a big affair. Nella had taken her shopping and also asked her to dinner which was a night both would never forget in a haste. They had also visited Vera’s mother and had spent the night there. The next day which was a Sunday was great too, they had rocked a colourful peach and gold aso ebi and had done a little thanksgiving in church even though it was oblivious to most church members what they were actually celebrating except the pastor who knew they were celebrating half a year anniversary and had also prayed and blessed them after the service.

Vera felt embarrassed when the immediate choristers which comprised of young ladies within the ages of seventeen and nineteen alongside with few church members were staring at her tommy which appeared a little bulgy even though she knew she wasn’t pregnant. Her mother had asked her the day before secretly in the kitchen and she had given ‘no’ for an answer. Her mpther never knew of her husband’s condition and it was best she kept it a top secret till she thought of a solution. She could actually say she was enjoying her marriage and everyday was honey in the moon for them.

Nella tried as much as he could to avoid tessy like a plague. It had dawned on him the latter wanted sometime else than a boss-worker relationship but he vowed not to allow that happen. He knew she was making her moves everyday and had even tried seducing him twice already. She had stopped her from serving his coffee when she made her third attempt and his secretary had resumed the tea serving. The secretary had blindly reported her to him that she loved staring at her with a bad look anytime her boss carried her home or anytime female clients came looking for him.

Nella kept his calm and tried as much as possible to withhold his anger as he wouldn’t want to vent it on any of his staffs but then he wouldn’t hesitate to vent it on her if she tried anything silly for she had been given query letter twice. Tessy’silly stunts was one thing Nella liked discussing with his wife, Vera. They would roll into fits and laughter as if she were a comic character. The first he had told her, the laugh that escaped her lips was enough to peel her cheeks apart. He never told vera they had been intimate once for all the latter knew was that Tessy was a desperate staff who was having a big crush on her husband. She expected that anyway. Her husband was way too cute!

Vera’s phone rang and she picked it on the third chime. She couldn’t decipher who the caller was as it was a number she had not saved.

“Hello” she spoke into the mouthpiece. Expecting a familar voice to boom out.

“Hello mrs Nella” the caller replied. Vera creased her eyebrows deeply into a frown. It wasn’t a familiar voice.

Well, it was evident whoever the caller was knew she was married to Nella.

“How may I help you?” she asked in a flat tone.

“Am Alex, a friend of your husband. It would be to your advantage if you could meet me by Tees resorts along Temple road, Ikoyi by 4:30pm tomorrow. It might just interest you to know what your marriage would soon been spilling into”

Vera was confused. She didn’t want her marriage to be in jeopardy. She was contemplating if she would go or not when her husband’s car blared a loud horn outside the building.
