Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 43

TONY

Wise men say You never know the value or importance of something until youā€™ve lost it Every since Linda left, I never for once felt any pressureā€¦ I thought I was over her and I thought that I would in time find someone elseā€¦ But boy was I wrongā€¦

A Month passed since Linda left the house and Everything changed around the house, It wasnā€™t as tidy as it was when Linda was in the house and I began to feel bored and emptyā€¦ Though I hated to admit it.. But I missed Linda already.

But I tried to block her out of my mind by keeping myself busy with work and going out to special events and party but still nothing changed, I was feeling the same, empty and bored.

As if that wasnā€™t bad enough, People outside and on social media began to jeer and mock me for dating a pr*stitute especially people like Funke .. I ignored them completely to show them as if I didnā€™t care.. But deep down I was hurt and angry.

As the days went by, I stayed at house drowning my self in bottles of beer .. I couldnā€™t go out and do my usual stuffā€¦ Cecilia and my mother handled the company and as for the film issue, I told the directors that I was sick and I needed time to recuperate. I tried all I could to forget Linda but the funny thing is.. I keep seeing her in my mind.. The moments we had kept flashing in my mind, I was going stir crazy.. I couldnā€™t sleep well because of this.. I had to take sleeping drugs to force myself to sleep.

Out of my friends and acquaintances who knew my relationship with Linda, only a few felt sorry for me.. Those people were Faruk and Hermioneā€¦ You may be surprised , well donā€™t be.. You all may be expecting my sister to feel sympathy for me.. But no.. In fact she was happy that Linda and I split.. When I cursed those mocking me for dating Linda.. Cecilia would just laugh.. I wanted to thrash her but it wasnā€™t her fault that Iā€™m in this mess.

One afternoon, I was at home, when I was visited by Faruk.. He was shocked to see the state I was inā€¦ All messed up and out of shape..

.

Faruk Mallam Tonyā€¦ Na you be this? Kaiā€¦. This lady has scattered you.. Did she curse you?

.

Tony Hell noā€¦ Linda is not like that.

.

Faruk Then na wetin happen, eh? Look at you.. This isnā€™t the tony I know.. Your charm and spark is goneā€¦.. You that conquer women and throw them aside.. Itā€™s a woman now that has conquer you now.. Wonders shall never end.

.

Tony Abeg hold it.. She didnā€™t do shit.. She left, thatā€™s all.. Nothing else.

.

Faruk then why are you like this? Come on man.. Get hold of yourself.. You look like a mad man.

.

Tony Faruk! Iā€™m okay.. Iā€™m just going through some emotional breakdown.

.

Faruk Emotional breakdown? Are you still in love with her?

.

Tony What? Heck no.. Iā€™m done with her.

.

Faruk Look Tony.. Iā€™m your friend okay.. And Iā€™m here for you.. I think you need to talk things out with Linda.

.

Tony What? Are you for real? Talk what out with Linda? Look as I said Iā€™m done with her chapter.

.

Faruk Okay.. If you say so.. But please Mallam.. Try to calm down and..

.

Tony I SAID Iā€™M FINE!!! OKAY?

.

Faruk Okayā€¦ Okay. Okay..

.

Tony Can you please go.. I need to be alone.

.

Faruk Sure.. See you around Tony.

.

Faruk left the house and I was soon alone.. After a while, I decided to turn on the flat screen and entertain myself.. But tht didnā€™t work out cause I was busy switching from one channel to another.. There was nothing fun to watch so I switched off the d–n screen and went back to my room. As I was climbing the stairs.. I heard a knock on the door, I had to go back down and open the door to see who was disturbing me and as I opened the door, I found out it was Hermione.

.

Tony Hey.

.

Hermione Mama Mia.. Tony is this you? (Laughs) that Linda lady must have wrecked you up before she left.

.

Tony Are you going to come in or are you going to mock me?

..

Hermione Sorry darling..

.

Hermione walked into the house staring at the place, she took her sit.. There was nothing in the house, so I decided to ask if she wanted anything.

.

Tony Can I offer you anything?

.

Hermione no.. Its alright.. Iā€™m good.

.

Tony Okayā€¦ So.. What bring you here?

.

Hermione I just came to see you were and I have to say.. I wasnā€™t expecting to see you like this.

.

Tony Oh really? Then what is it you were expecting?..

.

Hermione I thought you were going to move on and find someone else like you did to that b*tch, Funke.

.

Tony Oh, Iā€™m working on that.

.

Hermione Really?

.

Tony Uh-huh.

.

Hermione Tony.. Let me be sincere with you.. Iā€™m not that kind of person that feels sorry for anyone but in your case.. I really do. I may not know much about this Linda, but I donā€™t think sheā€™s a..

.

Tony Spare me that bullshit! She confessed herself that she was a pr*stitute.. Why didnā€™t she tell me earlier before I proposed to her?

.

Hermione Wait.. You proposed to her? She accepted?

.

Tony Yeah.. I loved her.. I wanted to marry her but nowā€¦ She broke my heart.. I donā€™t deserve this.

.

Hermione bursted out laughing hard, I was surprised when she did thatā€¦. I wonder whatā€™s so funny? She laughed so hard that she almost fell off the sofa.

.

Hermione Oh Tony, tony.. Youā€™re a riotā€¦ You donā€™t deserve this? Please man..

.

Tony Are you done?

.

Hermione Tony.. You deserve everything thatā€™s happening to you.. And I think you know what Iā€™m talking about.. I donā€™t see why you should be angry.. If i were the one in Lindaā€™s shoes.. I would have kept my mouth shut and deny all those things people said about me.. Come on man.. She confessed.. At least thatā€™s something.. She must have been that courageous to tell you about her secret.. You see the problem with you men is.. Youā€™re too selfishā€¦ You can do whatever you want.. And nobody says a thing, in fact youā€™re been seen as champions but when a woman does something.. Hell will broke loose. Thatā€™s when everyone will start talking.. Look.. Let me ask you.. Between Linda and Funke? Which one do you love the most?

.

Tony None of them.

.

Hermione Oh, cut the crap! Answer me!

.

Tony I said no one.. I donā€™t like either of them.

.

Hermione Man, why are you so stubborn? Let me solve the equation for you.. Funke.. Lying btch and a cheat whom you caught fcking another man. Linda, the courageous b*tch who confessed to you? Donā€™t you see? Linda is the better lady here..

.

Tony Yeah whatever.. Look why do you care about all this?

.

Hermione Donā€™t get any funny ideas because I donā€™t.. Iā€™m just helping you out.. Look at you.. Youā€™re a wreck.. Anybody could see you still havenā€™t gotten over Linda.. My advise to you you talk things out with her before itā€™s too late.. Now if youā€™ll excuse me, I have some place I need to be at right now. And one last thing.. You need a shower..

.

Hermione left the house.. She was right about one thing though.. I needed a bath cause I was smelly.

Minutes later, I was in the toilet enjoying a nice hot shower .. I washed myself thoroughly and after that, I shaved my scattered beard.

I later came out feeling good and refreshed.. As I dried myself up and wore some nice clothes.. I decided to tidy the house.. Its a good thing Linda showed me some few house cleaning tips, I wasnā€™t that good but I managed.. I swept the house, moped it and got rid of all the trash in dustbin..

A while later, Cecilia returned.. Like I said before Cecilia had developed this nasty habit of using Linda to mock me.. As she entered the house, she noticed how clean the house was but then the b*tch started usual bullshit.

.

Cecilia Man.. This house is quite a mess.. I wish Linda was here!

.

Tony B*tchā€¦ What is it with you calling Lindaā€™s name huh?

.

Cecilia Awwnn! Brother dear, are you still angry over Linda.. Or is it that youā€™re still in love with her?

.

Tony Hell no.. God forbid.

.

Cecilia Just look at you.. How the mighty has fallen. Still canā€™t get over a little issue?

.

Tony Little issue? Are you insane.? Someone broke your brotherā€™s heart and youā€™re happy?

.

Cecilia So? Let me ask you Tony.. How many female hearts have you broken huh? How many? Iā€™ve lost count.. You sleep with women, and then drop them.. Itā€™s a wonder that youā€™ve not gotten HIV.. Tell me brotherā€¦ Supposing youā€™re a female doing all those things.. Youā€™d be no different than a pr*stitute eitherā€¦ So Linda lied to you about her past.. So what? What did you expect.. Sheā€™s a woman and a womanā€™s dignity is very fragile.. Do you think itā€™s easy telling people about something like this? Of course youā€™re a man.. You can sleep with thousands of woman and youā€™d still have a better future but a woman, her story is different.

And besides itā€™s not like Linda had a choice, Her brother was on the verge of dying and she had nobody else to help her.. And you know life in this country is.. She had to do something to save her brotherā€™s life even if it meant becoming a pr*stitute.

.

Tony How did you know that?

.

Cecilia She told me everything about herself before she got employed.. I gave her the job temporarily to see if she would throw herself at you.. But she didnā€™t.. And as I expected when you saw her, you became obsessed about her.. Your head went bananas and you lost all senses of control, your d*ck was the thing doing the thinking for you.. I watched of course from the shadows to see what would happen and to my surprise.. Linda turned you down on the first day.. I was surprised really. She was the first woman to resist all your charms, fame and wealth. But I knew it was only a matter of time before you were deep between her legs.. You were so tenacious and determined.. You continued your play but she still resisted. Somehow in some way.. He won her over.. And then BAM! it happened.. You were in love with her.. And the good part about your relationship was Linda was influencing your habits, The play boy, Casanova tony was now a humble gentleman.. And it was all thanks to Linda.. But now that youā€™ve heard her secret.. You donā€™t love her anymore.. What kind of man are you? Youā€™re not kid, Tony.. Youā€™re a grown man.. If you really loved her, you would have understood the situation she was in.. She didnā€™t last long in her former job anyway.. She only stayed there for a couple of months and then she quit when she got this job.. All she wanted to do was to get money and save her brother.. Tell me Tony? If you were broke and mom was so sick she was going to die.. What would you do if you had no other options left? Picture yourself in that situation and compare It with Lindaā€™s situation and youā€™ll see what Iā€™m talking about.

Besides you have no right to be mad over Linda.. Cause you too have used a lot of women.. Have you ever for once sat down and think about what they might feel?

I know you still love her.. Whether you admit it or not.. All I can say is you should go and talk things out with her before itā€™s too late.. Sheā€™s the woman of you.. And you know Iā€™m right.. So man up and go claim your woman back before someone comes and claim her.

.

Cecilia sure said a lot of things that hit me hard and it made me begin to wonder if I made the right move .. Maybe I was too harsh on Linda, canā€™t say itā€™s her fault thoughā€¦ I was just too angry to think things throughā€¦ I could remember those awful things I said to herā€¦ How stupid I was to call her a gold diggerā€¦ Iā€™m sure Iā€™m on her No. 1 list of the people she loathes.. I just hope itā€™s not to late to fix things.

.

Tony Do you know where she is?

.

Cecilia No.. But I have a friend who knows where she is.. Want me to give you her number?
