Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 60

*** i was shocked when i saw Jenny and she too.

My mouth was widely opened as she was stood at my front.
My madam asked me from the parlor, who is that?
I pretended so that she wouldnt find out that we knew each other.
Aunty,is brother’s ( my boss ) cousin, i replied.
I ushered her in and she sat beside my madam as they
greet. I left them and entered my room.

My mind couldnt rest,
chai! This world can never stop amusing me some times.
After some minutes,my madam called me and i rushed in immediately and she gave me money to go and buy cold malt for Jenny since the one we have in the fridge are not cold.
I went out to buy it, immediately i opened our gate, i saw that same fair ugly girl that my madam met me with that day my
madam came back from village.

I waved at her and she told me to stop and i stopped to knw what it is. ***

Girl: igwe how are you?

Me: am fine and you?

Girl: am ok.

Me: please remind me your name again.

Girl: is Rose.

Me: ah, rose, it has been a while now.

Rose: am around naw.

Me: but i havent seen you.

Rose: when you come first.

Me: ok… *** i left her and ran to the next store and bought malt,
as i was going back,i deleted that number Rose gave me and
i rushed back to the house.
I presented the malt to Jenny and left them.
I went back to my room with so many thoughts on my mind.
How will i cope with this two women?
My life is in danger,i knw Jenny like me back then and i also like her.

What did this girl called Rose want from me? What have i done to this women for Christ sake?
So many thoughts were running through my mind that nite but i couldnt invent any useful answer until i slept off and woke up in the morning,
