Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 63
I woke up very early the
following morning because I
needed to return home as early
as possible in other not to
unnecessarily arouse suspicion
from my parents who would
want to know how my ‘night
browsing’ mission went. I also
wanted to rush out without the
company of Emma and the girls
and also when the day has not
fully settled when no one would
be able to identify the young guy
that came out of a hotel.
Onyinyechi was still sleeping
peacefully when I finished
dressing up. A gentle tap from
me woke her up. She looked up
with eyes still filled with
tiredness and then smiled at me.
.
”Good morning,” she greeted.
”Good morning dear, hows
your night?” I responded.
”Fine oh… yawns… Are you
going now?” she asked while
rubbing her eyes off sleep.
”Yea, I need to rush back home. I
have important things to do,” I
lied.
.
She shrugged in resignation and
encouraged me to continue in
my good life. If only she knew
who she was dealing with. She
requested for my number once
again reminding me of my
promise the night before. I
collected her phone and keyed in
the digits of my second MTN line.
I dialed the number and it rang. I
could see her smile from the
corner of my eyes. ’Hmmm,
whatever dat is making dis wan
to smile sha. Hope say she no dey
think of wetin I dey think she dey
think?’ I thought within me.
As I made to leave the room,
Onyinyechi demanded I at least
gave her a hug. I obliged her
request. I also told her not to
disclose to Emma what
transpired between us through
the night because I know he will
feel betrayed by my actions. It
would pain him to know that I
never carried out the action for
what the money was paid for.
Onyinyechi saw me to the door
and stood watching as I knocked
on Emma’s room. I knocked for
trice before they could open the
door. They must have been
exhausted from whatever they
might have done. One thing I
know for sure is that Emma will
stop at nothing until he is
convinced beyond doubt that he
has got the deserving services
for his money.
.
”Guy, dis wan you dress up like
dis? Na go you wan go so?”
Emma asked in surprise to
having seen me dress so early.
”Yes my guy, I get something to
tidy up. Hope you had a nice
night?” I asked with a wink and
he responded with a grin which
conveyed satisfaction. I bid them
goodbye and left the hotel.
.
It was exactly 6:17am when I
hurriedly left the hotel. The
meteorological solar forecast has
predicted that days sunrise to
begin at 6:40am. I always have at
least one meteorological
application on my phone at all
times. It’s my discipline and as
such I needed to proactively get
myself acquainted with enough
information on the workings of
the environments around me. I
arrived home a few minutes past
7am. My dad was listening to the
7am network news on his
rechargeable radio. I greeted him
and he replied without flipping
an eye as it was obvious he had
all his attention fixed on the
news. He needed enough
information for the days
political debate with his friends
who seem to have opposite view
to his. Ive never seen them
share similar view in political
issues. I guess they enjoy
debates and arguments that
much as to always be on
different sides of the divide.
Mum was busy in the kitchen
when I returned. She was
preparing the breakfast for the
family. She prefers to personally
prepare the family meals while
my cousin sister living with us
takes over the
subsequent warming and
dishing of the prepared meals
during meal times. Mum asked a
few questions on how my night
browsing mission went to
which I answered with lies of
how I was not able to finish up
the research work I went I had
gone for due to some network
problems that lingered into the
night. I had to excuse myself
from her presence when it was
obvious she had more questions
regarding the issue at hand
because that meant I wouldve
to progressively lie in other to
continue covering my tracks.
.
I called Ifeoma to inform her that
I will be visiting their school later
in the afternoon. It has been a
while I visited the school where I
taught before I gained
admission. I also want to use the
opportunity to have some man-
to-man chat with the two
teachers who she complained to
be disturbing her. It was time to
fight for my precious jewel. I
cant stand and watch some
backstabbers snatch my hard
earned loving Ifybaby from me.
My glittering ebony diamond.
*Hope I dont return with a black
eye*
