Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 9

*******

Daniel thought he was just

dreaming when he saw the

call. Would Nora really call his

mobile phone? He wondered

as he reached for it slowly and

stared at it continuously. This

is a lie! He had muttered as he

stared at it, wondering if he

was really seeing what was

right or that as just an illusion.

The call ended when he was

in absolute shock and couldn’t

pick it due to his doubts. He

just put the phone on his laps

and swooshed out a long

breath from his nostrils,

narrowing his eyes and

wondering what was going

on. Mhen! I should have

picked up that call! Why am I

being stupid? He hit himself

suddenly, forgetting Martins

and Stephanie were on seat.

He just became conscious

of himself again and adjusted.

“I’m sorry, was just having..”

and his mobile phone buzzed

again.

He got it quickly to check if

it was Nora and she really was

the one again. He smiled and

stroke his beard. “Nora even

loves me, why has she been

pretending…” he muttered

with a grin only to be shocked

as Stephanie grabbed the

mobile phone from him and

picked up the call.

“What!” He hastened to his

feet in quest of getting his

mobile phone quickly. What on

earth would Nora think of

then a lady picks up the call

again? At least she had mixed

with Daniel’s sisters very well

and would decode the voice

on the mobile phone, if it was

really any of his sisters.

“Are you alright? Let me

have that!” He screamed.

“No..” Steph rushed inside

the room.

“Hello.” She said to Nora.

Nora who was expecting

herself to hear Daniel’s voice

froze as she heard the female

voice. She already knew it was

none of his sisters, who could

the lady be?

She tried to get off the

feeling, thinking it might be a

close friend who wished to

speak to his wife. She smiled

and cleared her throat as she

replied. “Yeah, good evening.”

She said fluently.

“I don’t think anything is

good about this evening, lady.

Why do you keep disturbing

him when he’s not ready to

pick up your call? Please get

off the line.” She said and

ended the call.

To Stephanie, she was

wondering if someone was

disturbing Daniel already. On

setting her eyes on him as he

got into her house, she had

already liked him so much that

she felt she wouldn’t control

herself because of it.

On her seat, she had been

uncomfortable, thinking in

herself that who would be

disturbing her new crush? She

probably haven’t looked at him

well to see the ring in his

fourth finger and probably

didn’t check the caller to know

the mobile number wasn’t

saved with just ‘Nora’ but ‘My

Life.’

She cloistered to the living

room, smiling and making

herself attractive again.

“Daniel, the lady won’t disturb

you again.” She said as she

handed his phone over to him.

“What? I think you’re mad

already! Are you out of your

mind? Have you seen this?” He

raised his hand to show off

his wedding ring.

“Wow! Though I haven’t

seen it, but, married men are

really the best because they

have handled courtship

before.”

“Steph! This is my own

friend for God’s sake, why are

you doing this? I never knew

you were this kind of person,

if I had known I wouldn’t have

brought my friend here at all!”

Martins hissed as he whisked

to his feet and tapped Daniel.

“Please, Dan. Let us go.” He

said.

“Are you angry already? Or

wait, was it your wife that

called?” Stephanie quickly

asked.

“No! Who else? Why do you

keep asking useless

questions? I’m sorry I have

been disturbing you, but let

me yearn you, today will be

the last day I’ll visit you!”

Martins exclaimed.

Stephanie chuckled. “That’s

exactly what I want, Martins. I

have told you earlier, your

friend is all I need.” She

laughed.

Daniel just looked at her

angrily and walked out of the

house as he quickly dried the

tear that had filled his eyes

already. He didn’t even wait for

Martins before he got into his

car and started driving away.

**

NORA.

I marched on to the room

immediately after the call,

crying profusely. I never

thought this would happen to

me, I never knew Daniel has

been so desperate not to talk

to me that she even gave a

w---e the mobile phone to

speak to me.

Why’s he going after a

w---e when I am inside the

house already? Why is he after

another woman when I am

married to him already! Or

was that the lady we saw that

day? No! Daniel has gotten his

way to find this lady, right?

He’s spitting me with her,

right?

Oh no! I rolled on the

mattress, crying out

uncontrollably. I was already

out of the universe with my

thoughts. At first, it looked like

a pipe dream, but it’s now

developing into the reality!

Don’t tell me Daniel has been

looking for that woman again,

so I’m the useless one, right?

If this is not true, why

hasn’t he called back? Why

hasn’t he called to explain the

situation of things to me? I

definitely know he wouldn’t

like me anymore, not when he

met the lady already. I was

only trying to summon

courage to at least speak to

him when I don’t know his

mind.

I was down, thinking that

he might have been trying to

talk to me too and maybe he’s

been facing the same

challenge I’m into, but now I

really know Daniel has been

avoiding me and all the dishes

I have prepared because of a

woman.

In everything we are doing,

there is God.

**

Gloria was getting

frustrated of Alex. Why would

someone doubt God in that

manner? He didn’t believe in

his existence, not even to an

inch! She had been thinking of

what she could use to

convince him but not even an

idea was forthcoming.

She hissed and just picked

up her bag. “If Alex is an

atheist, I better break up with

him now. I can’t marry a

person who doesn’t believe in

God.” She said and walked out

of the house, going to meet

Alex.

She had been praying to

God to show himself to the

great Alex as Alex as said. She

knew it’s only if God proofs his

existence that an unbeliever

would believe him completely.

She had been trying to hold

herself back because he would

just say that she has done that

just because of Daniel.

She even wished she could

see Daniel again. She wished

everything that happened

didn’t happen to them. How

sweet would it have been?

She darted out.
