Episode 26

“patient my dear. We will still come to that
one” victor said
“what am i here to talk about if not about
the necklace?” she asked still feeling curious
“so tell me how you got the pendant in this
necklace?” he asked
“i got it 17 years ago as a gift from someone
so special to me.” she replied
“did i hear you say 17 years ago?” Victor
asked instantly with a positive surprise.
“yes. That was before i traveled” she replied
“to U.S.A right?” he asked
“yes” she replied with a surprise face
“it was given to you by a boy who sells
groundnut right?” he asked again
“yes” she replied still looking at him with
deep surprise:
“and his name is Victor Abi?” he asked
“exactly! But how did you know all these?”
she asked in disbelief
“because the guy standing before you was
the boy who gave this pendant to a girl
called Sophia back then in Onitsha” he
announced
“oh my God! Victor is this you?” she asked
“yes”
immediately , Sophia went closer and they
gave themselves a tight hug. A happy and
warm one for that matter .
It took desmond to go in between them and
divide them before they separated from
each other.
Already , Desmond has been standing there
for some minutes talking but they seemed
not to be listening .
“Sorry for interrupting you people but you
ought to be aware that Bisi is present in this
premises. I lied expertly in deceiving her but
then, she is searching all around for you
people” Desmond said.

“Thanks for your information , i don’t think
she matters any more. I have found the
woman i have been searching for all
through my life” Said Victor
Desmond just mimicked a smile and started
walking away from them so to make sure
that Bisi won’t locate them.
“victor , did u know how long i have
searched for you?” Sophia asked
“me too. You can’t believe how long for this
say.” he said
they were seated by now answer Sophia
asked
“how did it happened? You are now rich
unlike the poor groundnut seller i use to
know”
“nah God o, no condition is permanent.” he
said and then explained every thing to her
“is that so? It did not even crossed my mind
that i could find you wearing an othentic
suit, i was busy looking for you in the
street.” she explained her surprise
“such is life. Inasmuch as there is life, there
is hope.” he said
“so tell me how you did manage to get the
necklace?” she asked
“i found it in Bisi’s Purse . Believe me, i am
willing to do any thing just to have the
woman i love that is why i have to steal the
necklace from her purse” he replied her
question
“i told you. I have suspected her and here
my hunch is correct” sophIa said in total
reference to Faith. “who would have known
better.” faith said
now Sophia appeared to be sad. He looked
at victor and later removed her eyes sadly as
she said.

“its a good thank. And i am really happy i
have found you but then , its sad to know
you are now engaged with Bisi the girl who
always fight and treat you badly back then.”
at this , victors eyes opened wide in great
and radical surprise as he exclaimed
“what!!!! So Bisi is that Yoruba girl?”
“yes ” Sophia said. Faith was just staring at
them.

“and she knew i have been searching for
you all these while and yet she didn’t
mention to me a word about you!” Victor
exclaimed again
“really? Did you tell her about us?” Sophia
asked
“yes i did” victor replied
“no wonder she was asking about that
necklace so intently” faith said
“now i really understand” Sophia said.
Now victor reached Sophia’s hand and said
calmly
“Sophia my Love, Bisi won’t be a problem for
us because am not engaged to her. I am
going to break up with her immediately i
leaves this place” victor said. Already , he has
a qualified anger burning in his heart which
is probably waiting for explosion when ever
he sees Bisi.

“by doing so, you will be hurting her. She
hated you with passion then but now she
loves you with more passion . I believe that
is why she stole the necklace because she is
afraid of losing you to another lady.” Sophia
explained
“I don’t care!. Its not going to measure upto
the level of punishment and beating i
receives from my aunt because of her
cruelty. So to hell with her love. All that
matters is you” victor said
“its not going to work like that. Think of it,
she will definitely see me as an enemy and
remember, we have been friends even
before i met you” Sophia said again
“so what are you suggesting? You know it
took me years to find you and now i have
seen you, bear it in mind that i am never
willing to let you go” victor said looking
absolutely mean to what he said
