Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 85

What’s it mum?” I managed to say, conscious of my cold palms.

” how could you be so heartless to threaten Ruth with breakup after all she did for us? And to even tell her you prefer Sandra coz she’s richer than she is, is very wicked of you”. Mum ended with a frown.

I looked surprisingly at mum and then to Ruth who hid her excitement in a suppressed smile pretending to be watching TV. I was partly relieved that it wasn’t the pregnancy. So I turned to Ruth apologetically just to impress mum who fixed a steady gaze on me.

” I am sorry I said what I said to you Ruth, I was drunk that day. I can’t even remember most of the things I said that day. Am sorry”. I said looking at Ruth from the side of my eye.

Mum nodded and said.

” that’s good. You need to reduce how you mingle with that Ruth of a girl, I wouldn’t want to be entangled with military problems”.

I turned abruptly towards mum in surprise.

” yes, you heard me right. I know she has been helpful and all that, am not saying this because Ruth is here. Sandra is too bigger than you. She is not your class. Getting married to her type will automatically turn you to a puppet “.

She paused and took a look at me, I turned my face away grudgingly. Ruth couldn’t hide her smile any more, she turned her face away.

” my son. Take a look at Ruth seated down here”. Mum said pointing at Ruth.

I looked at mum with my mind on the car packed outside. Then I turned towards Ruth who was blushing already.

” this girl is your spec. She’s your kind of woman. She’s absolutely in love you. Think of it”. Mum said, stood up and went inside.

Ruth let out a little giggle . I turned abruptly at her with a frown. She covered her month with her hands to tame a loud giggle.

” what’s this all about? ” I asked furiously.

” what does it look like? ” she said in a smile and adjusted herself on her seat.

” its crazy for you to put up that stunt”. I said.

” you mean, because I didn’t spill the beans? ” she said still grinning.

I kept quiet and looked away. Ruth smiled and continued with her movie.

I went downstairs and drove to Jacky’s house as it was the only place that crossed my mind to pack the car at the moment. The current excitement and complication concealed what happened at Jacky’s house from my head. I only remembered when Jacky came out frowning. It was too late for me to turn back.

” hey Jacky “. I said as I alighted.

He looked at the car and then to me without replying my greetings. He was clad in his regular baggy boxers looking very lanky and dry. He now had goaty and mustache with a bushy hair Which made him looked older and more like a Rastafarian.

” how have you been? ” I said walking carefully towards him, conscious of his hostile look.

” you were supposed to be here yesterday. We were supposed to go somewhere, remember?! ” Jacky’s voice made me shiver.

” am sorry, I completely forgot”. I said.

Just then I realized that it was a bad idea to pack at Jacky’s house. My relationship with Jacky was already heading towards a dead end.

” who owns the car” he said looking contemptuously at the car.

” oh, its for Sandra”. I said knowing that’s the only way keep the car safe.

We went into the house together and found two rugged looking guys smoking. I looked at Jacky, he seemed to be under duress. The guys clearly were not on a friendly mission. They looked at me,then to Jacky who gave them an acknowledging nod.

” who are you? ” the heavily built one asked in the midst of smoke .

I didn’t say anything. I knew they meant trouble and I made to leave but the other one who was tall and muscular quickly intercepted me and closed the door, while Jacky moved aside looking apologetically at me.
