Belina - S02 E17 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 17

Oyinade got to work earlier
than her usual time. She
had to visit BRP Hospital.
She was sure their efforts
the previous day were
yielding enormous results.
She had seen Richard’s grim
face when he left the
hospital.

She arrived at the building
looking for Tunde. He had
been making advances
towards her but she never
obliged or noticed him. She
had had enough, having to
sleep with Kelvin, alongside
Ronke once a week – a
threesome. She needed a
break since that was finally
over.

“Hey Tunde” she said
flirting with her eyes.
He looked surprised and
pleased.

“Hey beautiful, to
what do I owe the pleasure
of your attention today?” he
asked coyly.

“Aaahn, it is not like that
now” she said.

“I guess you need
something then” he
breathed, moving closer to
her.

She nodded.

“A little favour.
I want to surprise my boss’
wife today but I don’t want
to be caught unawares. You
know the things you do to
secure your position?
Would you mind alerting me
when she is coming over?”
she asked, playing with his
tie.

“One date for one favour”
he cooed and she hastily
nodded, knowing she had
to get to her office before
Richard arrived. They
exchanged numbers and
she was off.

Richard sat in his office
expecting his assistant. He
hadn’t sighted her
throughout the day and he
became worried. He had
sent his secretary to call her
since she was not
responding to her intercom
but he had seen none of
them. Her bad dressing had
instantly left his mind the
moment he received that
message about his wife.
Thanks to Tony’s visit, he
had been able to stop
himself from doing a stupid
thing by confronting Belina.
Despite that, he had been
cold towards Belina when
he got home, always
suspecting her movements
and stupidly forgetting her
state of health. His doubt
had been taken over by
worry when he felt her
temperature. The sms was
out of his mind as he took
care of her.

His assistant’s indecency
never crossed his mind till
he read her text message
this morning. The veiled
jealousy he saw in Belina’s
eyes and actions pleased
him because it showed her
love for him. He however
knew that he could not tell
her anything about Oyin’s
innocent actions because it
would reinforce her doubt
in the poor girl. Oyin had
felt so bad that she had
sent a message, though too
early; apologizing for her
actions and claiming she
might not be able to face
him because of what she
did. She was apparently
trying to gain attention
since her fiancé was not
giving her enough. Richard
felt bad for condemning her
the way he did.

“Sir” his secretary called
from the entrance
“Where is she?”

Entering, she replied, “Sir,
she might not be able to
come. She seems to have an
emotional breakdown. She
was crying when I saw her
sir” she said looking
concerned.

Richard’s guilt increased as
he stood up.

“Thanks. You
can go now”
**********
**********
I got out of my chair with
obvious frustration. My
temper and emotions had
been all over the place since
morning. I just couldn’t get
two people out of my mind.
I concluded on confronting
Richard and having a long
chat with that Oyin of a girl.
I had the conviction that
Richard would not have
extra-marital affairs even
though that was the
routine with men these
days. He can’t betray our
love like that, I thought as I
left my office. I stopped by
to give my secretary
instructions before leaving.

**********
Oyinade heard a knock on
her door and smiled. She
had anticipated this. She
knew Richard didn’t like
feeling guilty for anything.
She had learnt that within
days of working with him.
She deliberately went to the
door without asking who it
was, framing up crocodile
tears. She gave Richard
enough time to see her
tears before hurriedly
mopping her face. Richard
became angrier at himself
for being so violent the
previous day as he entered
Oyin’s office for the first
time since she became his
assistant.

Oyin deliberately opened
the door slightly enough for
anyone to see what was
going on inside. She just
hoped that someone who
gossips would see them.
Her phone beeped on the
table but she was unaware
of it. She was so
preoccupied with the joy of
finally having Richard’s
attention, though; she
covered it with a dull
emotion-stricken face.
She faced Richard.

“I am
sorry sir; I am a bit
indisposed right now. You
were right to reprove my
action yesterday sir. My
fiancé is seeing someone
behind my back and is
treating me like trash. I felt I
wasn’t woman enough and
I wanted attention from
whoever could give me. I…”
she broke down in tears.

Richard tried to console her
with words but her tears
just increased in tenacity. If
there was something he
was always confused about,
it would be how to manage
a crying woman. He was so
glad that his wife was not
the crying type and once
she was moved to the point
of tears, he was always
shaken to his soul.

He held Oyin’s shoulder but
instead, she collapsed in his
arms, crying all over his
chest. He held her
awkwardly, not knowing
what to do with each
passing second but he
didn’t have to do that for
long as the door creaked
open. Standing before him
was a familiar face, looking
alarmed.
