Siblings In Love

Episode 28

Safe? Obstacles? Someone greater than him is blackmailing him. He has no other option than to do as he says. What is he being blackmailed with? Why would the person want him to break up with me against his wish? Mike definitely lied to me, he still loves me, a whole lot and I won’t let this slide till I know what’s happening .

Who do you think it is? Who else if not Dad. He didn’t say much about what happened, he pretended to be like nothing happened. So, this was his plan! You see, I knew Dad had something up his sleeves. He should have made it clear like Mom that he’s against our relationship. Why is he using Mike? But I can’t even confront him, he’s my father and I don’t even know where to start since I don’t have any evidence. I squat down there, crying. I hate Dad, I just hate him now!

The next day, Mike was gone before I wake up. Didn’t he say that he’ll be leaving next month? See, he lied to me again. Mom said that she didn’t also see Mike by the time she woke up, nobody knew when he left. Maybe Dad, he left with him when he was going to work this morning. He packed some of his clothes, his room was well arranged. Mike is not coming back anytime soon!

I was crying, Mom said “you see? Your brother doesn’t love you, he was just toying with your heart. Why did he leave you? Even If your father threatened him with anything, love knows no bound. He should have stood his ground and show just how much he loves you but he ran away. After discovering that he’s not your brother, he decided to use and dump you and I won’t let that happen. Forget him and move on with your life, Mike is not the right guy for you. You’ll soon be twenty, there’s still a lot of time left for you to meet better guys. Even me that notured him from childhood, he just left without telling me. Such an ungrateful brat”…what Mom said entered my head, she’s right! Why would he leave me in the first place? Threatened or not, he doesn’t love me enough.

Dad came back, when I told him that Mike packed some of his clothes and left. He started looking for him, “Mike would never do such thing” he said

Why is dad pretending as if he’s not the one behind it? Why is he looking for him when I already know the truth?.. I just hate him the more.

A day passed, two, three, a week, and Mike didn’t even call anyone. On this day, I missed him so much so I decided to goan take a look at his room. I went through the things there, on his wardrobe was his travelling documents. He was meant to travel the next month just like he said, that means Mike is still in Nigeria. Mom’s name was there too as her guidance sponsoring his travel. She even signed it but mom said that she wasn’t aware of Mike’s departure. Something is fishy, I took the papers to goan ask Mom. But she was arguing with Dad again, they rarely argue before but they often argue this days, what’s happening…….

Dad: I called the school you sent Mike but they said that he has not arrived. Where did you send that boy?

Mom: I don’t know where Mike went to, he was supposed to travel next month but he left before time

Dad: What did you do to him that he left? What did you say to him? I am giving you tomorrow to bring him home. If another woman torment Ella the you’ve been tormenting since two weeks ago, would you be happy?

Mom: Honey..

Dad: Don’t honey me! You honey me up and down without respect. If you think Ella is too small don’t forget that I had my first kiss with you when you were fifteen, does that mean that you’re bad?

Why are you taking out all the blame on him?
……that defines everything, so I’ve been suspecting the wrong person. Mom is behind all this… But why nah? Why did she do that? What did she do to him?
