Episode 24
âwhat are you doing in Valâs apartment?â Tessy finally summoned up the strength to ask the twin.
âoh big sis. Iâm surprised to see you here as well?â the twin girl stammered, quietly holding me from behind. I nervously prayed softly for Tessy not to react violently.
Luckily Tessy ignored the girl and faced me with a weary face.
âVal please can we talk outside for a minuteâ she asked calmly, surprising me greatly with her calm behaviour which was definitely the opposite of what i was expecting from her.
âyes sureâ i quickly accepted, left the twin behind and went outside with Tessy who said nothing else to me until we got to where she parked her car. Swiftly turning around, she faced me, holding my left hand.
âVal what are you doing with her?â she suddenly asked curiously.
âwith who?, you mean the twin?â i asked innocently. She scoffed and shook her head.
âstop playing dumb with me. What are you doing with that girl huh?â she asked again, this time with a slightly raised tone.
âiâm sorry but you are not my mother and I owe you no explanation, not after what your ex husband or real husband I donât even know, did to me. Iâm not comfortable being here with you right now. Iâm very scared and i donât want to die young. Your man threatened my life and i canât die because of you. I have lost my family and girlfriend already. So Please letâs just stay away from each other. Find a way to reconcile with your husband, get your children back and build your family once again. We canât even be ordinary friends anymore not to talk of lovers as long as your husband or ex husband whatever livesâ i poured out seriously, throwing her back with my words.
âVal i understand how you feel. I understand how scared you are but you shouldnât be. I came all the way from Abuja to be with you, to explain and plan things with you, but iâm really disappointment with what just greeted my presence. Anyway letâs forget it. Tomorrow you can come over to my house, letâs talk things overâ she said with a strong voice.
âyou donât understand, i canâtâ i tried protesting but she swiftly drew close, grabbed my face and kissed me.
âyes you can Val. Tomorrowâ she breathed, drew back and headed into her car, quickly driving away without another word. I nervously looked round the street to check if someone kind of saw the little drama, but luckily the street wasnât well lit.
I returned to my apartment to find the twin answering a phone call. She hung up as soon as i walked in and faced me with a terrified look.
âsis Tessy just called me. She wants me to come over to her house first thing tomorrowâ she said seriously, hugging me strongly. I held her for some seconds before breaking away from her.
âwhy are you very nervous?â i asked curiously.
âbeing here with you was such a bad idea. I just crossed sis Tessy by being with you. Nobody crosses her and lives to joke about it unless you have something powerful protecting you or she just lets you to be. Instead of honouring her invitation, i will rather return to my school first thing tomorrow for peace to reign. I wonât forgive myself if something happens to you due to my silly feelingsâ she poured out with so much pain that i was forced to grab her by the waist very suspiciously.
âwhat the hell did Tessy tell you. Tell me every word of it. You canât expect me to swallow all you just said without asking questionsâ i demanded seriously, but she simply shook her head, broke free from me and turned her back on me.
âiâm sorry i canâtâ she softly breathed with all seriousness.
