Mike showed up by 7:30am, beeming with smiles as he walked into our house.

“please don’t be too hard on him or to yourself my dear. Behave like a good girl which you are, okay!” “i will be expecting you next weekend” Mum adviced as she kissed me goodbye.

I finally left our house that fateful saturday morning with Mike, who had a new aura of self confidence in him. Silently he drove to the capital, while my thoughts kept me company as i thought about school, my future, my life and even about Benjamin.

“who knows how he is?” i wondered with mixed feelings.

He silently drove without bringing up any conversation, till we got to my lodge{hostel}, an hour and half later.

“this place surely brings back memories” he murmured with a smile as he killed the car engine.

“surely it does” i responded before alighting. He dutifully helped me carry up my luggages and organize my room. Fifteen minutes later, we headed to his apartment which was just few kilometres away from my lodge. It really was the first time i was visiting his apartment, and even though he wasn’t a stranger to me, i still felt a bit nervous, which made him stare at me curiously, as soon as we arrived.

“my dear why do you look so intense?” he asked with a smile,

“because it’s the first time i’m visiting a place you rented with your money” i replied with a smile. He scratched his head and laughed.

“so my family house you visited months ago isn’t mine abi?” he joked. I smiled silently.

His three bedroom {+kitchen} apartment really was very simple and a bit scanty, perhaps because he was yet to save enough money for adequate furnishing. The chairs in the sitting room were plastic chairs, however a plasma screen television, sound system and some simple gadgets adorned it.

My heart skipped five beats when i got to his kitchen and saw lots of dirty dishes pilled up in a big basin, waiting to be washed. I had no choice than to get to work immediately, even though he weakly objected.

“i’m the happiest man in the world right now, you are so lovely, so beautiful, so enchanting, i will forever worship you” he kept singing, with hands in his trouser pocket as i did the dishes.

“when is she coming?” I asked after a while, interrupting his praises. He glanced at his watch and shrugged.

“she should be here by now, she promised to show up before 11am, now is past twelve” he replied.

“hope you didn’t trick me into coming to your house?” I asked suspiciously.

“of course not” he answered innocently.

At exactly 2pm his phone rang,

“she’s at the door” he said to me after answering the phone call, rushed to the entrance door and opened it. My eyes followed him expectantly, while my heart pounded very fast.

A young girl soon walked into the sitting room carrying a child with her. She froze as our eyes met, while my heart melted with pity.

She looked so young and beautiful, but was wrapped up in sadness.
