My neighbor’s daughters - S01 E17

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17

I lay in my bed thinking about the scenario that happened yesterday.

I didn’t know how to face clara.

I never wanted it to be like that…

Now that she know the truth, I don’t know how her move would be.

I was still battling with my thought when I heard a police siren.

“The G-guys in my area are in trouble today” I said to myself.

Not long I heard numerous foot steps approaching my room.

Instantly I got up, am a little scared cos I have never been arrested before.

I heard a knock on my door and I slowly open it. To my greatest surprise, there stood the otitoju’s family.

I saw clara standing beside someone that am sure will definitely be her mother judging from the facial resemblance , and a man who was clad on an Agbada. Am sure that would be her father, the senator.

I greeted them and then welcome them in. I can see clara eye is being swollen, probably she might have been crying.

But this time, she’s wearing a smile.

Senator otitoju broke the silence.

“We are here to thank you for what you did for our daughter, you could have leave her to die but you choose to save her life.

We all have been searching for you from that very day, so that we can repay you of your kindness towards our daughter.

Take this check of 10 million in appreciation of what you did for our daughter” .

I was completely short of words when I heard him.

“Am sorry sir, but I can’t take this money, I didn’t help her because of a gift like this, I only did what was right and am not expecting any reward for it” I said.

He tried to convince me to take the check but I rejected it then later he said to me.

“You really surprise me, any person would have jump to this offer… We are family now, if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to let me know.

Have my business card, you can call me on that. And lastly my daughter said both of you are already getting along, hope you know what I mean by that? “He said.

I replied him in a rather shaking voice

“perhaps I do sir, we are friends, a very good one…”. I was still talking when he cut in.

“Am not talking about being a friend here, so take good care of her” he said giving me a wink.

I later got to know her mother, she was very funny and friendly, she bought some provisions along with her for me, I collected it and thanked her .

She make their visit very interesting with her jokes and motherly talk.

When they were about leaving, I dragged clara behind.

” And what the hell have you been telling them about me?” I asked silently, and She replied saying

” only what I thinks about you, you owe me an apology from keeping this huge things away from me. So do I get a sorry for this?” She said rolling her eyes.

“Common don’t be daft ” I replied smiling back at her.

And all of a sudden I felt her lips touching mine. Believe me, I didn’t see it coming. It was so fast that, I couldn’t think of whether to reply or not…i just let it go.

And Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.

The closeness between Clara and I grew beyond what anyone could ever imagine. Somewhere around the way, I began to nurse some unexplainable feelings for her.

Most people in my department thinks we both have something going, cos it seems so.

Sometimes she will spend the weekend at my place leaving her beautiful abode behind.

Her dad do call me often requesting to know how am coping with her daughter.

One evening after the close of the day Clara forcefully drag me to where she rented at school .

Well through out our friendship, I never get the time to know her place, am always busy doing one thing or the other.

When I got there, I opened my mouth in admiration for like 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe residence like that exist in my school.

Well only the rich can afford such a place with beautiful art nouveau .

When I entered her apartment.

( make i no lie, mo ki aje ku ikale)

Every where was decorated with expensive beautiful designs.

I sat in her living room admiring the artist work on the wall.

She enter inside and change to a bum short and a crop top.

She put on the plasma TV and then enters into the kitchen.

I was in the living room listening to some cool music when I began to perceive some palatable aroma coming from the kitchen.

(Oh boi ayam starving ooo)

After some minutes she came out of the kitchen with a plate of fried rice and chicken.

I felt the emptiness in my stomach, I can’t really remember the last time I have such a delicacy.

We ate together then step it down with a red wine.

It was like a heaven for me that day.

After am done eating, she asked me to take a shower , and since am already sweating, I oblige without any hesitation.

When I got inside her bathroom.

For like 20 minutes, I opened my mouth in agape admiring how an ordinary bathroom is being design with a beautiful Art Deco.

My room is no match for her bathroom I must confess.

After am done, she asked me to lie flat on my stomach and she gave me a professional massage. I didn’t know when sleep take the better part of me. I slept and woke up the following day.

(Gottach, una dey expect bleeping…bleeping for where, I sleep ni ooo)

Love Is Beautiful, it is precious in many ways cos it embrace passion.

Love is eternal happiness, a heart felt emotions that understands the unthinkable. Love is that special someone that makes you fly without wings.

It is the joy you feel with that special someone, cos love came with caring for that special someone .

Love is the thing that touches your heaat,cos it is what makes your heart beat and it’s stands as a healing power of your heart and soul, Love Could be that beauty within or the ugly, but whatever it is, it makes dreams come true. I will say love is the foundation of life, cos life has no meaning without love.

love they say is blind, I believe… Cos if not, I would have see the truth.

I never give up on grace, I kept ringing my feelings for her everyday.

Clara and I now became the very best friend. I started having little feelings for her but grace holds the better part of it.

Towards the end of the academic session, when we the final year students are busy working on how to defend our project .

During this period something terrible happened.

I have gotten enough evidence to put black jagaban to an everlasting imprisonment.

A day before I planed going to the police station to report his case.

A message reached me that nurse Titi was shot dead on her way back home.

I was still thinking about this when I received a call from samson saying clara has been kidnapped.

I almost lost my balance when I heard that. Immediately a text entered my phone.

It was from an unknown number, so with a trembling hand I opened it.

“If you want her back alive, meet me today at castle villa.

4pm prompt.

Do not involve the police or you will meet her dead body instead .”

On seeing this my head went offline.

I don’t know what to do, I call Simi but her number wasn’t going.

Dotun is nowhere to be found.

This is too much for me to bear.

I wanted to involve the police but I can’t risk clara life. What a dilemma.
