Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 2 - Episode 125

It was when i was done bathing that i remembered that our cloths were still in the sitting room. I got out only to meet my shirt in a pool of c-m. I was confused on what to do because i cannot leave shirtless. I think of washing it but it will not be able to dry before i leave. I returned to the room and began to check her wardrobe. As luck has it for me, i found a white Real Madrid shirt and put it on before i joined her on the bed. I was operating my phone but still feeling dizzy so has to drop the phone and slept off.

I was woken to sounds in the room to behold Evelyn clad in another sport wear.

EVELYN: **smiling** hey

ME: **sitting on the bed** you are awake

EVELYN: yeah, i knew that you brought me in here so, no need asking. You took me by surprise today and this is the best i have ever had, all the events keep on replaying in my mind **she smiled**

ME: wow **i exclaimed with laughter**

EVELYN: guess what i prepared?
ME: hmmm….Jollof rice?
EVELYN: not that, i knew that you have eaten so i have to prepare some Lipton and milk for my baby **smiling**
ME: **smiled back** thank you
She came to sit be my side with the milk on a table in front of us. We drank in silent until she start up a conversation
EVELYN: how is everything, everybody at home? **she asked as she turned to face me**
ME: fine, they are all doing well. I just decided to come and see you
EVELYN: that is very nice of you for keeping your promise

ME: for you…..only
EVELYN: i know. Your mum has been disturbing me to come and see you but i decided to cover up with some lies because i knew that she will discover something fishy about us if i eventually show up because of ……body language

ME: she told me that and i have to tell her to forget about it that i was not interested on seeing anybody, so, she has to succumb to that

EVELYN: i could have guessed why she stops talking about that whenever we talk on phone
ME: why don’t you want her to know about us? **i asked staring at her with rapt attention**

EVELYN: not that i don’t want her to know only that…..**stopped**
ME: only that what?

EVELYN: only that it is not the right time
ME: when is the right time?
EVELYN: when you are ready to get married
ME: are you really sure that you can wait for me?

EVELYN: that is not a problem. You have to spend seven years in university which will make me 33 years of age by then and i will not be nearing menopause
ME: did any of you parent know about us?
EVELYN: no.

ME: why?
EVELYN: personal
ME: **surprised** personal that you cannot tell me?

EVELYN: okay, the reason is that they are pestering on me to get married and i don’t want them to know that i am not planning about that yet
ME: fine

EVELYN: who owns the car you came with?
ME: Timmy
EVELYN: your uncle? Are you staying with him?
ME: yes

EVELYN: why?
ME: the house i used to live in have been donated to charity and i have to live with him until he could get me another accommodation
EVELYN: hope he is treating you we right?
ME: yeah, have no problem with him
EVELYN: fine, and about Janet the other time, i………………….

ME: interrupted** shhh, i understand. It is normal to act as you did to protect what you cherished

EVELYN: thank God you understand
ME: i think i have to go now

EVELYN: just spend one more hour with me, i have been bored all these while you are out
ME: fine then

I spent one more hour with her, talking laughing and playing around like kids with accidental kisses now and then. When it was around some minutes to 2pm, i informed her of my departure and she accompanied me to the car and promised she will keep my cloth for me till the following day that i promised to visit her again

As i drove home, i wept bitterly because i have betrayed her. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her and so has to write it in the letter i placed in the flower i gave her instead of love quotes. I took my time o explain my reasons to her. Though with what she said that she don’t want either parents to know about us, i knew that she loved me and meant everything she said about waiting for me until i will be done with my education.

The fact was that i loved her, i really loved her and i don’t think i will be able to love again. I don’t think that i could take the emotion of losing her, emotion of breaking her heart which was why i tried to make our last moment memorable to either of us, pushing aside the sad story. I drove recklessly and at one time, i taught that i could not get home safely and at the other end, i thought that i wouldn’t have dropped the letter but i promised my mum and with the fact that i have came to realise the consequence, i have to do it.
