Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 1 - Episode 10

Alice lay on the couch, different thoughts flooding through her head. Her mother’s words were having a serious effect on her. Could her mother be right? Was she really wasting her time? Will her being single bring Benjamin back to her? What about Felix? Doesnt he need a father’s love and care? She’s 29 now. All her mates are married. Is she really just wasting her time? All these and many other thoughts flooded her head. The door bell rang again. She grumbled a little before dragging herself to the door. She opened the door and saw him smiling like an idiot.
‘hello’ he greeted
‘Gilbert! What are you doing here?’ she asked
‘wont you let me in?’
Alice sighed and opened the door for him. He entered and made himself comfortable on the sofa.
‘what do i offer you?’ Alice asked. She knew why she was trying to be calm because after all this years, he wouldnt have come to disturb her again.
He giggled like he was enjoying himself.
‘you’ he said. Alice hissed in annoyance.
‘Gilbert, i dont have all the time in the world, please what do want?’
she asked impatiently
‘like i said earlier, it is you i want. Sit.’ Alice just scoffed and sat directly opposite him
‘yes, any problems?’ she asked
‘no, i just came to see your face, i have missed you so much’ he said.

Alice stood up furiously ‘i can see you have come here for rubbish. Thats enough now, please leave!’
‘not yet! Not after i see my son’ Gilbert said.
‘leave! Felix is not your son! He is Benjamin’s son. Please get out! I beg you’ Alice said as she marched to the door.
‘Alice, what is it you cant just understand? Benjamin is gone, he’s gone forever! We are meant to be together Alice. I’ve always known that. No matter the obstacles, they will all fall down.’ Gilbert said calmly as he stood up from his seat
‘what? Did you just call my Benjamin an obstacle? Are you happy he is dead or what? What kind of a friend are you?’ Alice fired as she ran to hit him. Gilbert held her hands
‘calm down Alice and isten to me! I am not happy he is dead but God took his life because he wouldnt just leave whats mine alone. He wanted to put asunder in what God has put together. That is the reason he died. Alice we have a second chance to be together. Dont spoil this unity. We are a pair made together in heaven. We ought to be together. We are……..’
‘SHUT UP!’ Alice screamed ‘you are not making sense at all, leave my house and never come back again!’
‘Alice, you dont know what you are throwing away. How many men out there would want to marry a woman with a child? But look at me i am more than willing to accept the paternity of Felix even if he is not my son! Just tell me since Benjamin died, just how many men has come for your hand in marriage huh?’
‘there are so many of them. I am not just ready to replace Benjamin with anyone and even if i would, not you!’ Alice ranted, she was getting impatient. She could just end up killing this dude.

‘no matter what you do, you will never be able to avoid me because we are one. We are destined to be together. The earlier you understand that, the better for all of us! I have stayed away from you for all this years thinking you would be reasonable by then but you disappointed me Alice. You just showed me that you are nothing but a childish and immature……’
GBOOSA! Alice slapped him before he could finish his statemant.
