Mr Lecturer - S02 E27

Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 27

Early the next day, comfort got set to leave my house with her mother and our baby. She shed few tears as I took her belongings to my car. To be sincere, she really looked so terrible even though she tried very hard to appear calm. If she really was faking it all, then she was such a pretty good actor because I was totally convinced that she had my best interest in all she was doing.

‘’seriously, I’m going to miss your home. I have gotten used to it’’ she breathed with tears as she threw herself on me. I held her softly, a bit confused on the right words to say.

‘’your new apartment has everything you can ever wish for. You are going to be more free and happy over there. Trust me’’ I whispered to her.

30 minutes later, @ Comfort’s new Apartment

Comfort gasped with surprise as we walked into the two bedroom apartment I got for her. She inspected the bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and the decorations with great excitement.

‘’I wasn’t expecting something this huge’’ she breathed happily, hugging me once again. Her mother smiled as she watched us, while little Caleb slept on her body.

‘’I just want you to be happy and satisfied. This apartment cost me quite a huge sum, but that’s the sacrifice I made in order for you to be happy’’ I explained slowly. She rolled her eyes and breathed deeply.

‘’but there are still some things we have to agree on’’ she pointed softly. I stared at her curiously. She smiled and dragged me to one of the rooms, stopping to face me as soon as she shut the room door.

‘’see, I hope you are not going to disappear after this moment?’’ she asked curiously.

‘’of course not. I won’t try such thing’’ I promised. Her eyes dropped.

‘’promise me you will visit everyday. You will be present in our son’s baptism. You will be present in every stage of his life. Promise me’’ she demanded solemnly. I stared at her with slight hesitation. A bit uncomfortable with her demands. Nevertheless, I made the promise. Something I wasn’t really sure I would keep.

‘’I will forever love you. I will never stop loving you’’ she breathed with satisfaction, holding my face for a kiss but I drew back sharply, colouring up instantly.

‘’you know you are a young and beautiful girl?, why are you so bent in ruining your beautiful life because of me. You are still young. A graduate. A girl with bright future. Seriously you are not acting like an African lady with the way you are behaving’’ I said frankly, opening up to her bravely. She instantly frowned as my words touched her pride.

‘’you think loving you unconditionally is nothing but stupidity?. Thank you’’ she breathed, tears quickly forming in her eyes.

‘’I have to go now’’ I muttered, kissed her forehead and ran out of the apartment.

‘’dear Lord, please help me.’’ I prayed……..

I returned home later in the day to meet my mother anxiously waiting for me. I hugged her happily, breathing with satisfaction.

‘’mum you see, she left without a fight. I told you I had things under control’’ I said proudly but the old woman wasn’t moved.

‘’didn’t you for a moment reason that she probably left without a fight because she’s hiding something?. She could easily hide whatever she’s covering up over there than here. That girl isn’t stupid my dear’’ she said, getting on my nerves with her words.

‘’mum, I’m also not stupid either. I have someone watching her every move’’ I replied, bit my lips and headed to my room. I really was tired of my dear mother always talking to me as if I was still her little baby of yesterday..

On getting to my room, my phone rang. The caller was no other person than Henry.

‘’Hey bro, I have something that might interest you. I just dug around just like you asked me to. Guess what I found??’’ he poured out with excitement while I listened on..

‘’I found out that the owner of the hospital where Comfort put to bed was no other person but the son of her uncle. The M.D of the hospital is her cousin’’ he revealed.

The news rang in my head a hundred times over..
