Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 1 - Episode 40

We settled down on the couch after my uncle has staggered his way out of the house. He never left without threatening to make life a living hell for me. I was a quite confused, Evelyn took it too personal and i don’t like it like that. She would have allowed me to handle the situation myself or maybe she didn’t know that it was a family issue
She never felt remorseful for what she did rather, she was calmed and deep in thought obviously not satisfied with what she has done. But i never see her to be that temperamental though she was too tough and cold. Maybe they have met some and had a misunderstanding or something like that

ME: why did you do that?
EVELYN: what?
She didn’t look at me, she just kept on staring at nothing in particular, she seemed to not be paying attention to me obviously busy with her thought but that was quite unusual of her because the Evelyn that i know will be attentive to anything even though she was angry
ME: why did you slap him?
EVELYN: that one; that was just the tip of iceberg. I would have done more than that if not for the sake that it was not in my house. How could he just barged into a house, interrupted some people and still have the gut to talk nonsense and insult
I was taken by surprise, how could she be threatening to have done the worst. What is wrong, what is the problem? She was very serious and meant every single word that she said. But could it be the only barge in of a thing that was turning her mad like this? No, that is not all, they may know each other
ME: have you ever met him before?

EVELYN: yeah! The man was just a big fool. He has been on my neck for long time. I didn’t have interest in him and he couldn’t let me be. He kept on disturbing me but i still never give in to him and he made me his personal enemy, always trying to insult and embarrass me where ever he saw me
That was not all, she sounded unconvinced with herself, there are still a lot of things that she has not said or not willing to say but i don’t know why because she immediately began to cry. I held her by her side and brought her body to mine and began to pet her. I was surprised why she was crying because what she just said will not attract any emotional feeling
ME: what is the problem, i know that there is something that is bordering you that you don’t want to talk about but you can confide in me
EVELYN: yeah, you are right. There is a lot that i am not telling you but i think i couldn’t talk about it now. Maybe whenever i will be leaving
I agreed with her in resignation because her mood was not actually ready for talking or any explanation. But down within me, i was too anxious but there is nothing i could do. I have to let him rest and think about my own problem
EVELYN: you told me that your parent rented this house for you, and who is he to you? **she asked**
ME: he is my uncle **i coldly replied because i don’t want to remember the event of the previous minutes**
EVELYN: i could see **nodding his head** and i heard him say about taking care of you, what was that about?
ME: yeah! He was assigned by my parents to take care of me but he turned out to be the worst thorn on my flesh. He hated me with passion though i couldn’t remember offending him for once. He hated me from my childhood days; i wondered why he will hate an innocent kid at that age
EVELYN: don’t tell me that you saying the truth
ME: that is the plain truth, i have no need of telling you lies, but what is wrong? You don’t want to tell me? **i asked as noticed something strange about her voice**
EVELYN: i promise to tell you before i depart from here **she smiled** will you make me happy now by fulfilling our deal?

ME: you are so naughty, behaving like a teenager ** smirked**
EVELYN: yeah! I behaved like a kid in your presence
She said as i planted a kiss on her chick, i withdrew and looked at her face, she looked very disappointed but i smiled before giving her a long wet kiss while she m0aned into my mouth. My lips was still stocked in hers when my phone rang
I thought that it was either my father or my mother but was very surprised when i saw that it was Anna. I don’t know why she called at that awkward moment; i wanted the call to ring out but have no choice when Evelyn asked me to pick the call. She obviously saw the name
ME: hello **i said immediately i picked the call**
ANNA: hello, good morning
ME: morning how was your night?
ANNA: my night was very bad, very very bad **she sounded serious**
ME: what was wrong, i mean, what is the problem?
ANNA: Ben, how you treat me is not good at all. You never cared to call me, i did all the calling and you never even give me any attention. Ben, i really love you, i cared about you, you even went far of not telling me that you are sick despite the fact that i called you every day
Oh no! Not again, not now. Let me just finish one before another. I don’t want to listen to any story right now. Actually, i have treated her like a trash that never existed despite the fact that she never relent. She kept on showing me love, calling me at any slightest opportunity. She did all the callings and attention giving without receiving any from me. But my reason was not to compound myself with many problems as my senior school examinations was fast approaching; i wanted to concentrate on my exam
ME: i am sorry; i will not do that again. Until we see please **i attempted to hang the call but her voice stopped me**
ANNA: don’t worry, we will see in the next few minutes
ME: what do you mean by that?**i asked confused**
ANNA: i am on my way to visit you right now; your house is even in view to me now **she replied and hangs the call**
I became worried, why would she be visiting and who even told her that i was sick and how did she get to know my address? Well, that was not the problem, the problem was Evelyn. She was a diehard jealous type compounded with her current mood. Anna will surely display romantic scene and that will bring the problem.
How could i avoid or stop her from displaying any love in the presence of Evelyn
I was still thinking when Evelyn brought me back to reality
EVELYN: who is she?
ME: erm…..erm **scratch my head**
I was still scratching my head when a knock came on the door. I go silence immediately; Evelyn looked at me suspiciously and walked to open the door. I just sat down staring at the drama that was about to unfold. Immediately Evelyn opened the door, Anna walked in and stopped on her track immediately she saw Evelyn while Evelyn was also surprised. Anna composed herself as she greeted her and walked passes her. She walks up to me and gave me a peck before she sat down. She was all smiles that i wondered if this girl couldn’t discover my cold reply to her. Evelyn walked directly into the room angrily and never came out again
ANNA: who is she**she asked immediately Eve was out of sight**
I don’t know what to tell her. Telling her that we were just friends will be unbelievable as she knew that she teaches in our school and don’t even have friends at all. And telling her that she was my girlfriend will bring about so many problems; she will be disappointed in me for mingling with older lady and also angry because she taught that it was only Tracy that was stopping her. And telling her that will also be a great lie as i am not having any relationship with Evelyn
I found myself in a state of total confusion. I don’t know what to say. The day has been a greater terrible day for me. She was keen to know what was going on between us, i shouldn’t have told her but i don’t want to lose her, not after losing Tracy because of my own foolishness
ME: she is a family friend
ANNA: a family friend? **surprised** but nobody ever know that you are close at school and why was she angry immediately she saw me?
ME: she was here to help me and she has a little problem with somebody on her way here. Maybe she would be surprise to see a girl visit me
ANNA: i see. But why did she go to the room instead of joining us here?
ME: you know that she was hurt and don’t want to course any more problem due to her nature. Since we were here, she never talked to me sef **i lied**
ANNA: okay, that is alright. How are you doing with your sickness now?
ME: getting better
ANNA: i can see it in your eyes; you don’t even look like some one that was sick. But Ben, what have i done to you to be abandoning me like a tick? Am i not beautiful or you don’t love me? But remember all the things you were saying the day that i accepted you. You were professing heaven on earth for me. But what brought about the sudden change of character. Have i done anything wrong? Or have you discovered anything bad about me? Just tell me and i will correct myself. Anything i will do for your sake
The girl was really on my nerves and i don’t have a genuine complain to give to her. She has done really well in keeping her patience but what brought about all this today still confuse me. There is something wrong somewhere
ME: i have nothing against you Ann
I held her to myself and she rested her head on my shoulder. She later left after i promised to keep on with her under her request. Immediately she was gone, Evelyn emerged from the room all dressed in white with her luggage. I was very surprised because i don’t know what she was up to
ME: what is the meaning of all this ** i asked with frustration**
EVELYN: i am going because it seems that i don’t have a place in your life **she coldly replied**
ME: who told you that?
EVELYN: you think that i am a fool? Since, it was Tracy and now it was this one. What did you even take me for? Don’t you know that i have feelings?
ME: it is not what you are thinking?
EVELYN: then tell me lies, i am ready to believe your lies. You want to deny that you don’t have anything doing with that girl?
ME: you come to conclusion quite fast. I wooed the girl, yes, but that was when i was frustrated. I don’t know what i was doing. But that was all; i didn’t know that the girl will fall in love with me. She has been trying everything to get to me but i kept on avoiding her. I never know that it will turn out like this
EVELYN: you don’t know that it will turn out like this? You actually don’t know the value of yourself. Which girl will have the chance to be with you and not be desperate to keep you for everlasting?
I couldn’t answer her before a knock came on the door, i exchanged glance with Evelyn. I wondered if it was Anna that returned.
EVELYN: who is there **she shouted as she walked angrily to the door**
She opened the door and to my relieves, it was Charles. He entered while Evelyn apologised to him
ME: how far guy
CHARLES: the worst have happened **he said as he stared at the floor**
ME: **alarmed** what happened?
CHARLES: Tracy is pregnant
ME: what?
CHARLES: the worst was that the news has spread around the whole town and you are the culprit. You are responsible for the pregnancy
