Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 48

☆☆

For d first time since she gave birth to Emmy, she was stepping into d club again, wearing a new bumshot which Rebecca had managed to get for her and a faded top which formerly belonged to Rebecca.
She dreaded going back to the business but she had no choice, Emmy was down with fever and she needed to get her drugs. She couldnt afford anything bad to happen to her baby.

She ignored d surprised stares from her colleagues and d waiters, some knew about her pregnancy, some didnt.

Immediately she took a seat somewhere in d bar, she saw him.

Dressed in a black tri-quarter and a shiny white polo with a shiny black shoe, with a bottle of Star in his front, with a faraway look in his eyes, Shola.

The man who had caused her pain. She still remembered dat day at his house where she had practically begged him to let her stay, even if he didnt feed her, even if it was in d corridor….but he refused and rubbed her mistakes to her face.

‘i’m sorry but i cannot harbour a prostitute in my house, not even one who doesnt even know d use of condoms! Get lost Fiona, go find d father of dat cursed child in ur womb’ he had said.

She had been mad and angry ‘my child is not cursed and he or she will never be cursed. U are d cursed one here and i curse u and ur generation…..d same way u have called my child a cursed child, so shall people call u and ur generation as a whole cursed people….and u all shall be cursed for life!’ She had said in tears, picked up her bags and left for Rebecca’s house painfully.

He had been her best friend and she had thought he had feelings for her d same way she had feelings for him but she had been wrong…..u never know who’s ur true friend until ur time of hardship.

Alot went through her head and she needed to get them out. She stood up and walked to d waiter close to her.
‘give me a packet of cigarette’ she said curtly.

The waiter looked at her as if asking Fiona, when u start to dey smoke but instead she asked ‘which one?’
‘erm….erm….anyone….which one do u guys have?’

‘d person wey send u no tell u d one wey u go buy?’
‘nobody sent me…..which one do u guys have?’
‘ah! Fifi u don dey smoke?’
‘which one do u guys have abeg?’ Fiona asked rather harshly, why couldnt they mind their business.
‘sorry!’ d waiter said and brought out different types of cigarettes ‘choose’
She read their names aloud and chose d one whose name was kind of sweet in her mouth, Dorchester.

She pushed d money to d waiter and made to walk away.

‘forgive my inquisitiveness……Fiona, but i want to just tell u something,’ D waiter said ‘it doesnt matter what u are going through right now, it doesnt matter d tough times u are having right now, because for every problem, there’s a solution, life doesnt give us problems we cannot solve…..so if u think dat thing u’re holding in ur hand is going to ease ur problems then u are greatly mistaken because it will only compound ur problems d more….i dont know u as a smoker Fiona, dont start now….simply because u think cigarettes has a way of making people forget things, i’m talking from experience, i was once a chain smoker but i changed because it wasnt helping me and……’ another customer approached d table and she smiled at Fiona ‘have a nice day Fifi’

Fiona turned and walked away sharply not letting d words of d waiter get to her….she was correct but she didnt want to think about dat now, whats her business anyway? Everyone knew Agnes to be a gossip and a pokenoser.

She went back to her seat and opened d packet, she stared at it for a while, then removed one, placed it in her mouth, took a lighter, lit it and inhaled, she coughed.
She inhaled deeper again and she coughed again but she loved d burning s£nsat!on she was getting from d cigarette.
She raised her head and saw Shola’s surprising stare. Whether it was because she was smoking or because he hadnt expected to see her there, she didnt know……and she didnt care.

She held d cigarette like an expert smoker and blew it in d air, this was d path she has chosen to follow, and she was going to follow it to d end.
