My Fiancee

Episode 16

Rita walked as briskly as she could,she was holding the ring which Vincent had given her for their engagement.She had to give it to him…………………..her phone rang;she looked at the caller__her dad,she was not picking that.The calls started coming in every second ;her parents,Frank,Angelina and other numbers but she was bent on not picking any.

I packed the last of my clothes into my bag,zipped it up and knelt down to pray;something I had just started doing of recent.I was leaving this country for real,I wanted to leave my past behind and start afresh,i have left Rita alone__i wasn’t sending the pictures again,I guess it was my bad luck.At least I had learnt my lesson;I was never going to play around with girls anymore.I locked my door;I had left it in care of Frank to take care of it till am back.I decided to take the public bus because I felt there would be one thing or the other to watch which will keep me from thinking.I got to the bus stop and waited for the bus that was going to take me to the airport.I waited for about 1 hour 30 minutes before one finally came.As I was about to enter,I heard someone call my name,the voice was familiar but there was no way she could be here so I decided not to turn around.I moved forward and I heard my name again and as I turned around I saw Clara standing few meters away from me in her wedding gown.

“Ogbeni shey o n lo ni abi o lo(Mister man are you going or not?)”The driver shouted out to me but I didn’t answer so he left.

She started walking towards me then I saw something which looked like our engagement ring with her;I guess she had come back to return it.

Joyce:Okay oo.But let me ask you something

Rita:What is that?

Joyce:How did you manage to get rid of that guy that was………………you know

Rita:It was very simple.I told him am no longer interested that am about getting married

Joyce:And he took it calmly?

Rita:Of course, what else could he do.
Rita had hidden the fact that I beat her to coma from everyone,she also said the same thing with me;that she fell down and hit her head on something.
