Inseparable – Chapter 21

By Oyin Oluwatosin Emmanuel

 

 

She cleaned her watery eyes gently with her handkerchief as she sneezed for the seventh time just within twenty minutes of resuming work that morning, she wondered where she got the cold from, she had been sneezing all through the night and going several times to the toilet to blow her nose. The Air conditioner in the office was not helping matters also. She had a lot of work to do but the way she felt made her sluggish in carrying out her task.

 

 

She had spent the last night at her friend’s house, Bola. They both thought on how best to separate Ini from Kelvin and also how to make Frank take his eyes off Amarachi but they couldn’t come up with any reasonable plan so they decided to watch how things go first.

 

She was still struggling with her tasks when her Boss, Kelvin walked out of his office with a file in his hands. He came towards her and dropped it on her table.

 

“Make sure this is retyped, I’ve made some corrections to it already”

 

“Okay sir”

 

“I’m going to see the GM now so I might not be available for sometime”

 

“The GM just left his office some minutes ago sir”

 

“Oh! Are you sure about that?”

 

“Yes, very sure sir”

 

“Okay, thank you”

 

His phone rang as he turned back to the direction of his office ,

 

“Hello Amarachi, just hold on for a second, I’ll call back” he answered as he walked back to his office.

 

For a moment , Sandra forgot about the cold and catarrh that troubled her, she was more interested in hearing what the call was about. She stood up and walk towards his office door as soon as she was sure he was already seated.

 

 


 

 

 

 

She got to the door and tried to eavesdrop, but she couldn’t make out what was being said. She walked back to her table hurriedly and picked up the file he just gave to her. She dashed into his office without knocking.

 

“Oh! Sorry” she said as he looked up at her surprised but still engrossed with the phone call he was making.

 

“Okay, on Saturday, we’ll get her a gift. Thanks for accepting to help, I’ll call you later” he concluded hurriedly and dropped the call.

 

“I’m sorry sir”

 

He took a angry look at her and snapped, “how many times do I have to tell you to knock before you barged into anyone’s office?”

 

“I’m sorry sir”

 

“Be sorry for yourself, what is it you want?”

 

“Ermmm, I… I… ” Sandra fumbled, not having words to say, she sneezed loudly. “I wanted to ask if you already cross checked this document”

 

Kelvin shook his head both in disgust and in pity for her, “what’s the matter with you? Didn’t I say I already checked it when I dropped it on your table?”

 

“I’m sorry sir, I didn’t get it clearly”

 

“Just get out of my office, your presence annoys me more”

 

Sandra walked out of the office feeling bad, she wondered how Kelvin could talk to her like that, had he forgotten that he met her in the company and it was only because she had only a higher national LPPdiploma that he was allowed to take a higher position? Was it the same Kelvin that used to discuss with her like friends who now talked to her like she didn’t matter?

 

She wondered why she still felt she was in love with him, was it even love or lust or just even stupidity ?

 

She felt insulted but consoled herself since she already got an information that would ne useful to her and Bola. She picked up her phone and dialled Bola’s phone number immediately.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

“Hello Bola”

 

“Hello, what’s up?”

 

“Kelvin and Amarachi would be going out together on Saturday”

 

“Going out? To do what?”

 

” I think they want to choose a gift for Ini”

 

“Oooh! Yes, that’s likely true. Sunday is Ini’s birthday”

 

“Okay, so?”

 

“We’ll talk when you come to my place later”

 

“Okay” She replied and ended the call.

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

“Hi” Amarachi greeted and smiled as she dropped her bag in the car, “You’re not going out with Kelvin anymore”

 

“No”

 

“Why?” Amarachi asked and took a closer at her, “what’s the matter, you don’t look alright”

 

“It’s nothing much jor, just a slight headache”

 

“Are you sure? You look so famished, don’t you think you need to see a doctor”

 

“No, not at all”

 

“Alright, let’s go home. But I’ll have to drive” Ama said as she opened the door and walked to the driver’s seat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

In no time, they drove out of the garage and hit the traffic. After about half an hour of holdup, the roads became free and they got home in forty minutes time.

 

As Amarachi drove into the gate, Ini looked at the left side of the fence and noticed Kelvin’s car. He had already been waiting for her.

 

“Come on, let’s go in” Amarachi said to Ini just as she parked the car properly and came down.

 

“No, I’m waiting for Kelvin”

 

“Kelvin? where’s he?”

 

“He … ” she didn’t finish replying as Kelvin walked in through the gate at that time.

 

“Good evening Kelvin” Amarachi greeted and went ahead to open the door leaving the duo.

 

“How are you dear?” Kelvin asked cheerfully as he got to the side of the car.

 

“I’m fine” Ini replied with a smile.

 

“Don’t you think you should see a doctor? I don’t like the way you’re looking so dull”

 

“It’s nothing, I just need some rest and everything will be okay”

 

“Alright, can we go in now?” he stretched out his hand in a bid to help her get out of the car.

 

“Yeah, sure”

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

“Hey, I need to go out now. I’ll see you later” Ama said to Ini who was washing clothes in the bathroom

 

“Where are you going to very early this Saturday morning?” Ini answered back.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

“It’s not early, it’s eleven thirty already” Ama replied, showing the time from her wristwatch pm pop to Ini.

 

“Hmm, yes. But you barely go out to anywhere, so where are you going to today? Or is Dennis back from his trip?”

 

“No, I’ll tell you when I’m back jare. Don’t delay me” Ama replied and hurried away.

 

****

 

In about twenty minutes time, a taxi dropped off Amarachi on front of Tribet Shopping Complex. She sighted Kelvin waving at her just as she came out of the car.

 

“How did you find me so quickly?” Amarachi asked as she approached him.

 

“My eyes are sharper than that of an eagle” he answered, smiling broadly.

 

“Oh! I see” she smiled

 

“Yeah, so how was your night?”

 

“It was great, how was yours?”

 

“It was good. Thanks for coming, its just I’m not really good in picking gifts for people and I don’t really know what she would like to have”

 

“No problem, I’m sure we’ll find something good for her here” Amarachi said as they walked into the complex together.

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

Frank stood and stared at the gate for almost twenty minutes contemplating whether to carry out his plan or not. He wondered what the result would be like, he wasn’t expecting a good or favorable result but what he didn’t know was how bad it will be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

He made the decision and left home without telling any of his flat mates, he knew his friends had always advised him to take bold steps, but he was very sure they would have advised him against this if he told them.

 

He was still debating within himself about the right time to go when strong hands gripped him from behind.

 

“What are you doing here?” The guy asked in a baritone voice.

 

“Nothing”, Frank answered shakily.

 

“Nothing? You wan make I sand your face abi” the guy continued in pidgin, “you think say I no know since when you reach here abi?”

 

“No, I’m not doing anything. I’m just waiting for someone” Frank lied

 

“Waiting for someone and you dey look that gate since abi” the guy scowled, “Okay, you dey wait for your gang abi? Una wan attack my oga”

 

“No, I don’t have any gang o. The truth is I want to see your boss, Chief Olatunbosun”

 

“Ehn? who do you say you want to see?” He asked squeezing his face like an Ajegunle doing the Alanta dance.

 

“Chief Olatunbosun”

 

“Ehen” the guy opened his eyes wide like someone who had just come into realization of something, “you want to ki*ll my Boss abi?”

 

“No, how can I ki*ll him with all of you around him?”

 

The guy didn’t bother to answer his question but dragged him by the belt all the way into the compound. He took him to where some of his other colleagues and security officials were and forced him to kneel down.

 

“See wetin I see, na him dey peep for the other side of the road since. E be like say him be spy” the guy announced.

 

“No o, I’m not a spy o” Frank cried out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

“Shut up for dia” the guy made an attempt to slap Frank but was restricted by another hefty guy.

 

“Don’t touch him, I think I know the guy” the hefty guy said and held Frank’s head upward to see his face clearly.

 

“Are you not the Chief’s inlaw we brought here the other time”

 

“Yes, I am” Frank answered excitedly like someone who has found a saviour.

 

“What are you doing here? Stand up, Chief must not see you like this”

 

“I’ve come to see Chief” Frank replied dusting his trousers.

 

“Okay, wait here. Let me check if he is available” The hefty guard said and walked away from the scene leaving Frank alone with the other guards there.

 

Frank’s captor hissed and walked away too.

 

“God save ya head today” , he mumbled as he left

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

As Kelvin and Ama walked out of the complex with a bag in Kelvin’s hand. A young guy probably in his early twenties collided into Kelvin.

 

“Hey! I’m sorry” the guy apologized, bending to help Kelvin pick up the fallen bag.

 

“No problem” Kelvin said and smiled at the guy stretching his hand to collect the bag.

 

“Hmm, you guys are a nice couple” he complimented, instead of handing over the bag.

 

“Oh! We are not couples; we just came to get something for someone”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

“Handsome man and a very pretty Lady” the guy continued ignored Kelvin answer and faced Ama who had been quiet

“I’m sure you guys would give birth to beautiful kids”

 

“No, we are not couples” Amarachi spoke out amazed at the guy’s persistence.

 

“Please, can you do me a favour?” He handed the bag to Kelvin and without getting affirmation moved back swiftly bringing a phone out of his pocket. He took two shots of them quickly.

 

“What do you need that for?” Kelvin asked attempting to move closer and collect the phone.

 

“Dont worry, I’m just an artist who gets inspired to draw well when I see photos of beautiful people” the guy replied, smiling

 

“Can you guys move closer a bit or maybe you should hug her so I can take a better shot?” The guy asked Kelvin who was already getting.

 

“No, we don’t have time for that” Amarachi spoke up.

“We have a lot of other things to do”

 

She walked past the man quickly and Kelvin followed her

 

“Are you guys still around here, so I can come take more pictures” the guy shouted as they moved farther.

 

“Yes, you can meet us at that garden in one hour time” Amarachi lied.

 

“Do you think that guy is really an artist?” Amarachi paused and asked as soon as they lost sight of the guy.

 

“I don’t know really, but what else can he be?” Kelvin shrugged

 

 

 

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

“Nonsense!” Chief Olatunbosun stood up and slammed,”are you trying to say she raped you?”

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

“No, she didn’t rape me but I was drunk that day and I never knew what I did”

 

“Are you alright? You mean you didn’t know what you were doing when she took you home, took off your clothes and had sex with you?”

 

“I swear, I was drunk. I didn’t use to take alcohol prior to that time so I didn’t know it could have such effect on me”

 

“Okay” the Chief replied in a lower tone and sat on the sofa.

 

“And why are you kneeling? Who is punishing you?” He asked Frank who was knelt down, with disgust written all over his face. “Come on, get up and have your seat”

 

“No, please sir. Let me remain this way”

 

“I say get up and have your seat” he scowled at him.

 

Frank hurriedly got up and sat partially without comfort. He looked fearfully at the man and the mean bodyguard who stared at him awkwardly as if in readiness to pounce on him at the slightest opportunity.

 

“So, you don’t want to get married to my daughter or what are you saying now?”

 

“Sir, I’m not just ready for marriage now” he answered in a shaky voice.

 

“What’s the matter? Is it the money that’s the problem?”

 

“No sir, ermmm…” He stammered for some seconds before gaining confidence to continue, “I never planned to get married to her before”

 

“What?” Chief raised his voice, “but you told me you loved her”

 

“I said it out of panic sir, we never had a relationship prior to that night we I was drunk”

 

“How dare you lie to me?” The man flared up, he stood up and grabbed Frank’s neck.

 

He tightened his grip until Frank was almost gasping for breath, the released his group and dropped Frank on the floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

“Her belly is shooting out already and you want to back out? You want to bring shame on me?” He continued to fume in anger. “I’ll give you only two days to change your mind, you hear”

 

Frank gave no response as he struggled on the floor, his eyes red from the pain.

 

“Look here, you’ll get a hundred million naira when you get married to my daughter ”

 

“No, I don’t love her sir. I’ll never get married to her” he muttered

 

The Chief dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a revolver, he pointed it towards Frank.

 

Frank closed his eyes in anticipation of the worst, but after thirty seconds he opened his eyes to find the Chief returning the gun into his pocket.

 

“I like your boldness and I don’t blame you, I blame my daughter”, the man said and faced the opposite side. “I won’t ki*ll you here, now, get out of my sight before I change my mind”

 

 

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

“Madam, I’m done with the job” Mark leaned over the car as he talked to the occupants, Sandra and Bola.

 

“Hope you did the job well?”

 

“Did you get a clear picture of them?” Bola and Sandra questioned almost simultaneously

 

“Yes, I wasn’t allowed to take pictures in the complex. So I didn’t really get a good picture inside but I was able to deceive them that I am an artist so I got two pictures of them standing closely together”

 

“Wow! Good” Sandra replied, ” Can we see the pictures?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

The guy brought out his phone and showed them the pictures. Sandra and Bola looked with interest. After they got contented, Bola asked, “so how much did you say is the balance?”

 

“Fifty thousand naira”

 

“Alright” , she brought out an envelope and handed it over to him.

 

“Thank you madam” the guy smiled as he looked into the envelope. “I also learnt that they will still be in the garden close to the complex in forty minutes time”

 

“Are you sure?”

 

“Yes” he affirmed, “please I need my phone, what I’ll do is give you the memory card”

 

His phone was handed to him and he quickly removed the back cover and battery without switching it of. He removed the memory card, placed it in a memory card pack and handed it to Sandra.

 

“Alright, thank you so much. I’ll call you next time I need you” Sandra dismissed him.

*1.30pm

 

“So are you inviting us to your babe’s party tomorrow?” Bode smiled as he inquired from Kelvin who was sitting opposite him.

 

“Come on, I thought I told you before. She is not throwing any party” he answered, trying to take off his shoes.

 

“Alright na, na low key she dey be that”

 

“Yes o” Kelvin replied and stood up to walk into his room but turned back, “come o, I never hear Frank voice since I don enta, wetin dey happen?”

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

“He’s not back yet”

 

“Haba! Where did he go? He didn’t tell any of us before he left”

 

“Yeah, I think we should call him sef” Bode picked his phone and dialled, he look at Frank’s face. “It’s ringing, but he’s not picking it”

 

“Hope he didn’t leave his phone at home?”

 

“I don’t know, I…” Bode was unable to complete his sentence as Frank walked in at that moment, looking ruffled and tired.

 

“Frank, where you con waka go since?” Bode asked

 

Frank settled into the sofa ignoring the questions at first.

“Oh boy, I’m so tired. Is anything available to eat?”

 

“Yes” Bode answered.”Your jollof rice in the kitchen, but where are you coming…”

 

He was cut short again as Frank stood up immediately and headed for the kitchen. He went after him and was followed by Kelvin who was watching silently from the passage to his room.

 

Frank open the pot and placed it on the slab after checking the content. He rinsed a spoon and started eating directly from the pot since it only contained his own portion of the food.

 

“Na wa o, where did you go since na? Did you go to fight someone?” Bode continued to pester.

 

“Won’t you let me eat first?” Frank snapped, he coughed and went for a bottle of water in the fridge. He gulped down the water without bothering to use a cup.

 

“Okay, enjoy your food” Bode walked back to the parlor followed closely by Kelvin who then went into his room to change his clothes.

 

Kelvin was back to the sitting room within two minutes, he sat down close to Bode and they began to talk in low tones, discussing what could have happened to their friend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

After about five minutes, Frank came out of the kitchen but instead of coming to meet his waiting friends. He walked straight to his room. Bode and Kelvin glanced at each other and after some seconds of hesitation, they headed for Frank’s room.

 

When they got there, Frank was lying faced down on his bed in his boxers only with his clothes flung around the room. He sat up as he noticed their presence in the room.

 

“Is anything the matter Frank? Did you have a fight?” Kelvin asked

 

“No” Frank answered sharply and slowed down again. “I didn’t fight anyone, I only went to see Chief Olatunbosun”

 

“Oh!” Kelvin and Bode exclaimed simultaneously

 

“What did you go to see him for?” Kelvin asked in amazement. “I thought you were terrified the last time you went”

 

“What else will I go there for? I went to inform him that I had no intention of getting married to his daughter”

 

“What?” Bode cut in showing his surprise

” and he, he didn’t take it badly?”

 

“Hehe” Frank gave a short laugh, “he almost killed me at first, but then he let me go”

 

“Ha! Thank God, but why didn’t you tell us before you left home? Why didn’t you tell us you were going there?”

 

“Why should I tell you? So that you can stop me?”

 

“No, but at least there are other ways you could have sorted this out” Kelvin added.

 

“What other way Kelv? What other way?”

 

“Hmm, but what you did was dangerous. What if he got you killed? You know that man is dangerous”

 

“Yes, he could have killed me. That’s better than living my life with Bola or running away to somewhere I don’t know”

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

“But that doesn’t still justify your actions, you could have at least told someone so we would have supported you”

 

“Yes, we wouldn’t have known what happened if he killed you”

 

“I didn’t want you guys to know. You would have believed that I had finally run out of the city. But if I had old you and I eventually got killed, you guys might want to fight a battle against Chief Olatunbosun which you will never win and might likely disturb the rest of your life”

 

“But…”

 

“It’s okay guys” Frank interrupted as he laid back on the bed faced down, “I need to rest a little now because I’ll have to meet with Bola later this evening”

 

“Do you have to do that today also?” Bode queried, “you should rest for the day, don’t get yourself into another trouble”

 

“Please, I don’t want to argue about that again. Just leave me alone for now” Frank said and placed his pillow on his head to cover his ears

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

**Same 1.30pm**

 

 

 

 

“Why did you stop?” Sandra asked Bola who parked the car again just after driving for less than a minute.

 

“I think we should call Ini now and tell her to come meet us at the garden where her boyfriend and Amarachi is. We should do that before we go any further”

 

“Okay, I think that’s a great idea. But what would she think if she sees us together?”

 

“Oh! That’s true, you don’t have to inform her about me. I’ll just park at a reasonable distance from the garden where she can’t see me car and you’ll be the only one to

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

meet with her” Bola replied.

“And don’t forget to tell her that you have picture evidences”

 

“Alright” Sandra replied and dialed Ini’s number on her phone putting it on loud speaker.

 

“Hello Ini”

 

“Hi Sandra” Ini replied from other side”

 

“I’ve got some news for you” Sandra went straight to the point. “Your boyfriend and Amarachi just went shopping at Tribet Complex and now they are spending time in the garden together. If you can come here now, you’ll still meet them”

 

“Are you sure of what you are saying?” Ini’s voice sounded weak.

 

“Yes, I even have picture evidence here in case you don’t meet them”

 

“Okay, I’ll be there in a moment”

 

“Hurry up, call me once you get there. I’ll be waiting for you” Sandra ended the call, she glanced at Bola and smiled, their plans were already working.

 

 

 

 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

**1.40pm**

 

Ini was baffled as she dropped the call, she would have totally believed what Sandra had just told her if not that Amarachi had already walked in fifteen minutes before she received the call. She concluded that Kelvin might be cheating truly but not with Amarachi.

 

Sandra said Kelvin and his partner are still in the garden, so that means that he was cheating with someone else who may likely have the same body shape and complexion as Amarachi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

She rushed into her room, changed to another top and dusted the trouser jean she was putting on. She picked her car key and left the house without telling Amarachi anything.

 

As she got into the car, a thought struck her mind. She picked up her phone and dialed Kelvin’s number, it rang for several times without being picked. She tried it again the second and third time, she got the same response.

 

That confirmed her fears, Kelvin was with a girl, he never picked calls when he was on a date with her too. She ignited the car engine and drove off. She had to catch Kelvin red handed today, at least he won’t be able to deny the allegation.

 

 

 

 

**1.40pm**

 

“Yeah, I told you” Bola replied happily, ” now insert the memory card into your phone. I want to have a copy of the pictures too, so that I can show them to Frank”

 

“Okay” Sandra answered, she switched off the phone and removed the back cover carefully. She removed the memory card from the memory card pack and inserted into the slot for memory card in the phone. She placed her own memory card into the pack.

 

Sandra and Bola waited patiently for the phone to come on after Sandra pressed the power button. After a minute of processing, the phone finally came on, Sandra quickly clicked the pictures gallery icon.

 

The gallery opened, and no pictures were on display except for the default backgrounds that was on the phone memory. She impatiently navigated to the file folder and opened the memory card, the contents of the memory could not be opened.

 

Sandra’s countenance changed at once, her hand gave way for the phone and it dropped on her laps.

 

“What’s the matter?” Bola who had been watching inquisitively finally asked.

 

“The memory card is corrupted” Sandra announced

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

“Corrupted? How can? But he showed us the pictures on them some moments ago”

 

Sandra passed the phone to Bola who navigated through in disbelief.

 

“Let’s try it on my phone first, before we make any conclusion” Bola unpacked her phone and inserted the memory card, the result was still the same.

 

“Please, call the guy. Let him come back right away”

 

“His number is switched off” Sandra replied.

 

“Oh! That’s bad”

 

“What do we do now?” Sandra sobbed. “After all the troubles, we lost the pictures”

 

“Come on, we’ve not lost yet. Let’s go check them in the garden, we might still meet them there”

 

“Do you really believe they will be in the garden? What will they be doing there? They only came to get a gift for Ini. I’m sure they said that to Mark only to send him away”

 

“Oh! That’s true.” Bola sighed. “But its okay, let’s go home. We can still recover the pictures later and still send them”

 

“But I already asked Ini to come”

 

“You’ll explain to her, you’ll tell her that they left already”

 

“I promised to show her pictures” Sandra cried.

 

“Don’t worry, she’ll understand”

 

Sandra’s phone rang at that moment, she checked the screen. The caller was Ini.

 

 

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

Ini came down from the car and walked towards the garden, she already tried to call Sandra thrice bit the call was not answered.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

She moved to the left side and peeped as she got to the entrance, she couldn’t see anything. She picked her phone and dialed Sandra’s phone number again. This time, the call was answered just after it rang once.

 

“Sandra, what’s the matter with you? Why have you not been answering my calls since?” Ini blasted.

 

“I’m sorry, they left the place already” Sandra answered with less excitement, “I just tried to follow and see where they went. But I think they’ve gone separate ways”

 

“Where are you?” Ini snapped

 

“I just left there now. I’ll get back to you later”

 

“You’ll get back to me later? What about the pictures you were supposed to show me?”

 

“Ermm… I have a problem with my phone, I can’t show you the pictures now”

 

“Oh! I see, what a fool am I to have responded to you.” Ini ended the call angrily.

 

“Damn” Ini cursed under her breath, biting her teeth. “What kind of trash is this?”

 

She walked angrily to her car and started the car engine immediately, she drove off after fastening her seat belt. She first drove in the direction of her house but on a second thought, she took the next U-turn and went the opposite direction.

 

After few minutes of driving, she got to Kelvin’s house. She stepped out of the car after parking properly by the fence and picked her phone from the back seat. She already had three missed calls from Kelvin.

 

She was kept waiting for long after she knocked on the door as Bode opened almost immediately. “Wow! See who we’ve got here” he exclaimed.

 

“Ini, what are you doing here?” Kelvin asked, clearly expressing his surprise as he opened his hands wide for an embrace.

 

“Am I not welcome here?” Ini asked as she took his warm embrace.

 

“Of course you are” Kelvin answered, motioning her to sit beside him.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

He rubbed his hands on her cheeks, ” You look so beautiful even without makeup”

 

“Oh! Thanks” Ini replied, a little bit surprised. She had forgotten to apply anything on her face before she left home.

 

“You’re welcome” Kelvin replied and stood up. “What can I offer you?”

 

“Oh! Don’t bother, I just came to get something and I decided to check on you. I’m leaving in some minutes”

 

“Of course, I’ll bother” he walked away into the kitchen and returned with a bottle of nonalcoholic wine and a glass cup.

 

“I saw your missed calls and I tried returning the call, I guess you didn’t pick because you were on your way here” he smiled as he dropped the bottle and the cup on a stool placed at her front.

 

“Not really” she replied. “Thanks”

 

She felt greatly relieved as she gulped down almost half of the cup’s content. She felt the urge to ask Kelvin if he had gone out earlier to the Tribet’s garden but changed her mind as his outlook was that of someone who hadn’t gone out all day

 

“You look tired” Frank made a comment

 

“Yeah, I’ve been working all day”

 

“Eeyah, why didn’t you call me to come and help you ?”

 

“You forgotten that you didn’t pick?”

 

“Oh! Sorry. I was in Frank’s room then, my phone was in the sitting room”

 

“Alright, how is Frank?”

 

“He’s fine, he’s sleeping inside”

 

And how is he…” She paused and glanced at Bode to see if he was listening to the conversation. “How is he preparing for the wedding? I saw Bola’s post on Facebook about how soon her wedding ceremony will come up”

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

“There will be no marriage ceremony, Frank is not getting married to Bola”

 

 

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

 

 

“Come on Sandra, why you behaving like a kid? Mark is coming to fix the memory card for us tomorrow morning”

 

“Yes, I know but would Ini still give me audience?”

 

“Yes, she will. And if she doesn’t, you’ll just send the pictures to her via WhatsApp, she won’t be able to ignore that”

 

“Everything is just messed up really” Sandra sighed

 

“No, it’s not messed up yet. Don’t give up to soon.”

 

“Will the pictures really be enough to cause the damage that we intend to create”

 

“Not really, but at least it can create a small impact and we can do something else until they are finally separated”

 

“Oh God! So you mean we have to keep stalking them? Damn! I’m tired of all these already” Sandra got up angrily at no one in particular.

 

“What’s the matter Sandra? Or don’t you love Kelvin so much to fight for him”

 

“Off course I do” She replied in a low tone, “I’ve been fighting for his love ever since I met him but he doesn’t seem to notice me anymore”

 

“You’ve been fighting for him a long time ago and now you want to give up?” Bola lifted up her head and looked straight into her eyes. “If you don’t have him, then no one else deserves him”

 

Sandra was silent, her mood changed. A new kind of zeal grew in her heart. She became more desperate. “I’ll send the pictures, Ini has no choice than to leave him for more I’ll make her do it by force”
