My neighbor’s daughters - S01 E25

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 25

Love is the beautiful thing that ever happened to me, and the most horrendous thing you could possibly desire. I found myself standing beside an old man near a deserted beach. Behind us laid a dereliet building.

Everywhere looks tranquil, no sound of any animal, except for the breeze blowing through my face. I looked into the old man eyes . He has so many faces, and most of them are neither terrifying. One thing that’s weird about each faces, is that they all looks familiar and every face has an illusion that is somehow connected to my brain. Whenever I look at a face, I get to see behind what looks like an erased memories. I began to see behind what I could call a past, and every face shows a clearer picture of something I have long forgotten. After a while, I began to remember everything that seems lost. Then the old man disappeared. I heard a faint voice calling on me, I strain my ears and follow the direction where the voice is coming from. The more I do, the more the images around me get blur. “Wake up brother ” I heard the voice more clearly now. I slowly open my eyes and I saw Opeyemi eyes in tears . “Don’t cry sister am okay” I said, she hurriedly hug me. “When I heard sister Grace screaming, I rushed in only to see you down on the floor. I was scared, I thought you are dead. Can you tell me what happened? ” she asked. “I will but let get the hell out of here first ” I replied. I turned my head sideway, I saw Grace and her so called fucker. She’s already shedding tears like an infant, crocodile tears I will say. I helped myself up to my feet. I removed the ring from my blazer pocket then I throw it at her. Her tears means nothing to me anymore. She has betrayed my trust and also my love for her. She is nothing but a deceiver. I found to my dismay that I have been blindly in love with a heart breaker, a deceiver. Someone who deceived me by hiding her true self. All my lost memories are back, and I can see that am in a total darkness of a deceiver. Her true colours is now crystal clear to me. She deceived everyone, including my parent. I don’t have to say its over before she know its over. She has choose her own path and so will I. That was one of the the saddest day of my life. **** **** **** **** **** **** ****** *****

Life supposed to go on. But mine doesn’t, it been 8 months now and everything still seems like yesterday. I sat down outside the house listening to a music tittled “Almost lover by a fine frenzy “. This is more than just a heart break to me, am just like a living dead, Grace that has always be a source of joy to my heart is now a source of saddeness to me. I shed tears whenever I remember her. I burn all her picture I have with me. Only if I can burn away her picture which I have in my head. I have no friend to share my story with, since we’ve graduated, have lost contact with Juliet and Simi. Dotun have always been my closest friend but he is no more around me and I don’t want to call Clara. The only person I have in my life to care about now is opeyemi, if not for her I would have been long dead. I wish I had listen to Dotun, but love blinded me completely. Everyone in my office complained of my consistent inconsitence. But what can I do, they just can’t understand the hole in my heart. Cos if they do… No they can’t, only I can. I came back from work one evening . I met my mom in the living room, I was suprised to see her cos she didn’t inform me of her coming. ” good evening mama ayo, what a pleasant surprise ” I said. She stare at opeyemi before replying me. “Ayomide tell me, do you want to kill yourself?

This girl came to my house this morning with tears in her eyes. You don’t need to say anything, she has explained everything to me, and how you have been behaving since you caught that slot with another man. She even said you go for days without eating. Ayomide tell me that is not true. Do you want to make me a childless woman. You are the only one that I have, and why are you doing this to me. Now that I’m still alive I won’t open my eyes and watch you starve yourself to death.

Oya opeyemi go to the kitchen and bring the solid eba I prepared for him. Today will mark the end of your sadness. ” She said. I smiled, mama Ayo with her ways of scolding is somehow funny. Mama stayed for a week before leaving. She filled my head with alot of different talks, she told me to move on with my life. I gave her words much thought then I decide to give Clara a call.

One Saturday morning I picked up my phone and dial Clara number. But it was answered by an unknown male voice.

Me: hello

Unknown : who is on the line?

Me: I’m ayo, Clara friend from Nigeria. I want to speak with Clara.

Unknown : What do you want from her.? And why are you calling by this time?

Me: Excuse me, can you please give her the phone , I want to speak with her and not you.

Unknown : that still doesn’t explain the reason why you are calling by this time of the day.

Me: oh am sorry, I didn’t follow the GMT, but can you please give her the phone.

Unknown : listen up motherfucker, if you can’t tell me the reason why you are calling her, then fuck off the phone!!

(I check my phone screen, to be sure if am actually calling Clara number )

Me: Suberu, se na you get the phone, Abeg give the phone to the owner I want to speak with her.
