Continuation
After the call, I was faced with
the door in front of me.

Without thinking any further, I
shoved the door inside gently
until there was enough space
for me to slide in. The room
was dim and warm. I guess
the air conditioner hadn’t
been put to use for a while,
perhaps since my arrival. I
groped for the switch just
above my head and turned on
the lights.

“Oh My God!” I silently
exclaimed. The sight that
greeted my eyes left me
gaping. I stood spellbound for
some seconds gazing at the
orgy sight of Collins’ room.
My phone startled me with a
loud ring and I justled to pick
up but not before retreating
from the room and shutting
the door.

“Hello,” It’s Collins
again. “Fifi, where are you?”
His voice twittered from the
other end.

“Uhmmm, I told you before
na. I’m cleaning.” I replied,
trying to steady my voice. He
just called me a while ago,
what else could he want?
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Ehm,
just leave whatever you are
doing and go to the
supermarket. I need you to
pick some things for me from
there. You know, some
beverages and toiletries.” He
said almost impatiently.

“But we just restocked​ all
those things recently?” I put
on an enquisitive look.

“Yes I know. Just do as I say
and stop asking questions.”
He said. “Go right away and
tell any of the sales girls the
bill is on me.” He continued.

“Go now, Fifi. I’ll make a call
to them right away.” He
paused and hastily added.
“You can pick anything else
you might need. Just go.”
The line died with a click.

I stood pondering over
everything and rushed back to
my room leaving the cleaning
I was doing. I did as he said
and before I returned from
the supermarket, he was back
and waiting for me. He
hugged me and informed me
that he had change of plans
so had to rebook my flight for
a 15:30 trip. I didn’t
understand the haste in his
voice even when in the car on
our way to the airport. But in
all, I was more concerned
about what I saw in Collins’s
room recently.

Through my journey back to
school, I only thought of how
it would have been if Vera and
Collins are still together.
