Siblings In Love

Episode 27

Ella : Don’t you dare walk away from me you liar!

But he kept going, I rushed and stood at the front of the door….

Mike : Stop being childish

Ella : Don’t joke with me

Mike : Am not joking. Did I make you any promises? Did I confess love to you? Stop making a fool of yourself

Ella : That’s not true

Mike : Then what is?

Ella : Are being serious?

Mike : Since when did I become a comedian?
.. ….. ..I was hurt. Why is Mike doing this? Does he really mean it? Is this a dream? If it’s a joke then he should better stop it cox this is an expensive one. But it does make sense, he’s being avoiding me since we returned from the village. Acting like he doesn’t miss me while I pretend like I don’t care.. ego is a hell of drugs! Maybe if I didn’t pretend like I don’t care this won’t be happening now or did he see me with Daniel and is jealous? what went wrong nah? Why is he doing this? To me???……..

Ella : Are.. Are you breaking up with me?

Mike : Didn’t even know that we’re in a relationship

Ella : So why..why did you kiss me if you don’t love me?

Mike : Cox you looked pitiful, I just kissed you cox that’s what you wanted. Must I love you to kiss you?

Ella : Yes, you must

Mike : Well, sorry about that

Ella : So, what happened now? Why did you come to tell? I didn’t ask you, did I?

Mike : Well… Eehmm.. I just want to make things clear between us. Stop complaining or expecting me to act all lovey dovey to you. And don’t ever come to me with romantic feelings again, always remember that I am your brother, always

Ella : So, to you now, I am.. I am….

Mike : Like a stain that I want to erase!

Ella : …crying.. You’ve not been to my room for the past one week, so you can’t come today to spill nonsense

Mike : OK. Also I’ll be going to further my education abroad next month. The papers are almost ready, just thought I should be the first person to tell you

Ella : What? Didn’t you decline because you wanted to stay with me?

Mike : You’re wrong. I declined cox I wasn’t ready.

Ella : Liar! Bloody liar! So you think you can just do whatever you like, who’s going to sponsor you? Dad?

Mike : That’s none of your business ok

Ella : I don’t know what’s come over you but we’re not done. Whether you love me or not, that’s your business.

Mike : You and Emeka love each other, get back together. Trust me Ella, you’ll make a cute couple. I am not the one for you

Ella : Shut up! It’s not over until I say so. You can’t just make my heart beat for you then you wake up one day to tell me stories. You should have remembered Emmy, you should have remembered abroad, you should have remembered that I am your sister before kissing me, not just once, twice!

Mike : You live in a world of fantasy, move on with your life and stop being a cry baby

Ella : You care for me, you love me, you miss me, even now as am talking to you. So, why are you doing this? What’s different between you and my exes? What…

Mike : Ella get out of my way!

Ella : No way!

But he pushed me forcefully and passed. The door handle injured my my
finger “Aaaiiiyyyy! I screamed in pain. Mike turned, and rushed to meet me on seeing the blood but then he realized himself and quickly dropped my hand….

Ella: Why did you come back? Why do you care?.. I asked sadly

Mike : Well… eehm.. about that… The thing is, I didn’t say that you’re not my sister ,right?

Ella : But you’d say that you don’t care for me
…then he came closer, looking into my teary eyes, he said smoothly “Ella, you won OK. But we can’t be together, alot of people don’t want to see us together. What’s the use of being together when one of us will be hurt in one way or the other? We will be happier when separated, right now the best guy for you is Emeka. I fully support and trust him now, he’ll love and care for you even better than I do. Trust me, whatever I do is for is for best. Let me go, even you will be happy that you did”

Ella : ..crying.. I don’t want Emeka

Mike : Then go for someone else, you always have a way of getting a boyfriend. Get another one for yourself but it can’t be me

Ella : Why can’t it be you? Tell me. It’s you or no one else. Do you know how much I prayed for God to find a way in making me date you. And just when I realized that you’re not my biological brother, you are telling me that it can’t be you. Why are you not telling me something useful? Why are you not telling me what I want to hear?

What happened to you? Why. …

Mike : Just listen to me! He yelled “just this once Huh? Stay away from me and stay safe. It can’t be me, they’re so many obstacles. I can’t loose my loved ones because of this relationship. Listen to me pls, even if it is just this once” he said and left without looking back.
