Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 1 - Episode 16

I opened my door and jumped on top of the bed immediately i get into my room. I checked the time on the large digital wall clock which hung on the upper side of my bed to see that it was already twelve in the midnight; i would have trekked for not less than an hour before finding that cab.

All that the old driver said began to flash back into my head. The man was just elated in telling his story and i cannot help but smiling because despite all he do gone through, he was still strong, happy and felt accomplished. Nothing is impossible with god i reasoned
When my minded drifted back to all the event of the day from Tracy to Evelyn, i brought out my phone to view the content of her stupid messages. One of her message was saying; “”you cannot go this night please come back and sleep so that you will leave for your house early tomorrow morning”” another was saying “”you left me here in pain and still putting me into more pain, please where are you so that i can come and walk you back to my house””

The messages are really plenty that i have to toss my phone to the side of the bed and drift off to wonder land
***********************

I was woken up early by the ringing tune of my phone, i checked my phone and it was Evelyn calling, i hissed and drop the phone. I went to use the bathroom and come back to prepare for school. My phone kept ringing but the thought that it was Evelyn did not allow me to checked the caller despite the fact that the ringing tone was a special assigned music
When i finally get to know that it was my mum calling. I was very surprised because it has been more than two months that i have heard from her. My dad will not bother calling me because he knows quite well that i will not pick his call. I left my trouser half way and rush to pick the call

ME: mummy good morning

MUM: morning son. I have been calling you for more than ten time and you are not picking; why?

ME: i am sorry mum, i was taking my bath

MUM: it’s okay. How are you doing?
ME: i am doing well mum, i was equally getting ready for school before your call came in

MUM: that is very good, how are you coping with study over there?

ME: i am really doing my best mum

MUM: that is my sweetheart. Your brother wants to talk with you

My face lit up with smile because i have missed his thin voice so much

ME: is he already awake?

MUM: yes. He was the one that even woke me up
ME: wow! Then give him phone

KEN: good morning brother **he said with his tiny voice immediately the phone was handed to him**

ME: good morning little bro, how are you doing this morning?

KEN: i am fine

ME: okay, how is your school?

KEN: fine, when are you going to return home?

ME: by the end of the month **i lied**

My mum always told me to tell him that i will come home soon because according to my mum, the last time i told him that i am not sure of when i will return, he cried himself out for so many days that he couldn’t go to school and ended up developing a great fever

KEN: okay. I can’t wait to see you. I really missed you

I felt like crying immediately i heard him said that but i have to control my self

ME: i missed you too. I love you

KEN: love you too. Mum still wants to talk to you **he said and handed the phone to my mother**

MUM: your dad is still complaining that you are not picking his calls

ME: mum, don’t just bring that topic **i said very irritated**

MUM: you can’t just keep avoiding him

ME: just stop it **i shouted** i am sorry, i didn’t mean to shout at you **i apologised immediately i discovered what i have done

MUM: i understand your pain sweetheart. Just keep your calm; i will continue talking to your dad maybe he will change his decision

ME: you are the best, mum. You are the reason i am living mum. I love you **i said with teary eyes; she will obviously notice through my voice that i was carrying**

MUM: i love you too sweetheart. I am also living because of you but i believe that you will surely return home one day **i could also notice that she was crying at the other end which prompted me into serious tears**

ME: good bye mum
MUM: goodbye sweetheart **she replied and the line went dead**

My mum always calls me sweetheart whenever she want to calm me down. She loved me so much more than any of her children and i loved her more than my own life. I cannot stand and see my mum in pain; i will kill anybody that hurt her not excluding my dad.
I cried bitterly before going to school
**************************

When i got to school, everywhere was still empty and students are still scanty. I walked into our class and relax my head on my desk. I remained like that for many minutes that i didn’t know when the class was filled

FRANK: **tapped me strongly** why are you resting your head on the desk without noticing people’s movement, what is wrong or have you started that your man alone behaviour today again?

Sometimes, i like to be alone and didn’t want to talk to anybody or anybody talk to me. I don’t actually know why but i find it becoming part of me. Though i enjoyed been alone but not shunning people at the process.

I was totally depressed from my encounter with our Mathematics teacher but i couldn’t bring myself to tell him. I don’t want anybody to view her with misfortune or rather look down on her because i still owe her a lot

ME: eerhm..erhm. i was been sick since i
returned from the hospital yesterday

FRANK: and you didn’t care to call to inform me

ME: i didn’t want to disturb you when i know quite well that you will be taking care of your dad

FRANK: it wouldn’t have been a big deal taking excuse from him and moreover, you know that he is already doing well and was even discharged yesterday evening

ME: i am sorry for that

FRANK: have you taken any medication?

ME: yes, i have been on medication since yesterday

FRANK: hope you are getting better now?

ME: yes
We received a lot of lesson that day. During break period, i was told by a student that the English teacher want to see me in her office. I told the person to go that i will be coming but i never have the intension to meet her. For about fifteen minutes later, another student come and delivers the same message to me but i still refused to go

We were receiving biology lesson after break when Miss Evelyn walk into our class

EVELYN: Ben i want you in my office right away ***she said with anger and walk out immediately**
Wahala don come
