The Unbreakable Virgin

Episode 22

He sat on his bed feeling so sad and gloomy..

He has already packed his clothes and looking at his flight ticket lying carelessly on his dressing table, he sighed terribly…

” I still love her”

He murmured…

” but she hurt me ”

He added angrily rubbing his temple..

His door creaked open and he looked up to see Christine standing there like a drenched spider..

” what do you want? ”

He scolded..

” Daniel am sorry for everything I have done ”

She said and broke down in tears ..

Huh !!!..”

She’s weeping terribly..

What’s wrong with her?..”

He wondered..

” I set her up..

Because I was jealous of her”

She cried..

” you’re jealous of her?..

I mean what’s the point there?..

Cos you’re a hundred times better than her”

He scoffed..

” you don’t understand Danny..

She’s very beautiful and also she stole your heart …”

” it has nothing to do with the evil you just committed..

Why did you do something like that to me?”

He yelled standing on his feet..

” because am in love with you..

I love you Daniel and I have always does since when we were kids..

I just couldn’t take it when another girl barges in and stole what belongs to me…

Am sorry”

She held him tight sobbing on his shoulder…

Yeah!..

Her conscience has been pricking her for what she did and to make matters worse , Daniel had become opposite of himself since then..

She couldn’t bear to see him in pain and so she had a change of heart…

” what you did was wrong..

You don’t deserve his friendship ”

Her conscience always yells in her mind…

” go get your girl before you travel tomorrow…

Am leaving tomorrow to see grandma in the village…

Its okay if you don’t forgive me…

But I have cleared my mind ”

She turned to go but he pulled her back and hugged her…

” Chris am sorry too..

Its my fault too for falling inlove with someone like her..

I shouldn’t have done that in the first place..

I forgive you bestie ”

He muttered …

” no ..

Don’t say that..

Go get your love..

If you leave her now and travel without patching things up with her..

You gonna regret it..”

She said breaking free from the hug..

” she told me to go to hell..

She’s so arrogant and I don’t like it ”

He scoffed..

” look at who’s talking..

Anyways its up to you..

Good night bestie ..

Safe journey tomorrow ”

She added and left the room..

” and you too”

He said but she was already gone .

He sat on his bed and sighed loudly…

“She’s right..

But how do I go about it ”

He wondered..

He picked up his phone ..

” maybe I should give her a call ..”

He thought remembering the moments they shared together…

their first kiss..

the rape incident that made them friends ..

their first date

their make out session….

And oh..

the sad incident that led to their separation…

He sighed loudly remembering their last encounter at school..

” maybe I should text her instead..

That would be better….”

He concluded…

hey ..

How are you?”

He sent and waited and waited for her response but none came…

He scoffed loudly and laid on his bed..

” she’s so full of herself.. ”

He muttered and closed his eyes…

The alarm clock blared off waking him up..

He hurried said his morning prayers and went to the bathroom..

After he was done , he carried his luggage downstairs to meet everyone on the table already…

” good morning everyone ”

He greeted taking a seat but his father stopped him..

” son..

You’re already late..

We will escort you to the airport ”

Chief okoye said cleaning his mouth..

” but Dad am hungry ”

He protested…

” don’t worry my boy..

I packed some food for you ..

When you get there, you can relax and have your breakfast.. ”

Nanny grace said with smiles..

” thanks Nanny ..

You’re the best ”

He said and hugged him..

” all right everyone..

Enough of the drama..

Let’s get going ”

Christine said and they all laughed as they exited the house…

Nma woke up with a pounding headache..

She grabbed her phone and checked the time ..

” 10:30..

He’s gone already ”

She sighed ..

Her phone beeped and she saw two messages from Daniel..

Her heart leapt with joy..

She read the first one and shrugged her shoulders..

Then on opening the second one .

Her heart nearly missed a bit…

hey..

Am travelling today..

I know that’s always what you wanted..

Stealing my heart won’t stop me from dealing with you when am back from the states..

You owe me a lot of explanations..

Tears ran down her cheeks as she read the messages over and over again..

No amount of tears can make him stay back in Nigeria with her..

He’s gone but she keeps on hoping that he would be back one day..

Then, they will settle their scores..
