Episode 1
The clock chimed three,
‘Maggie, I thought you were going home’ Sophie blurted out deeply focused on her phone.
‘Yes I am, I will leave by 3.30pm' I retorted standing up reluctantly from the duvet to look for something comfortable to wear.
Sophie and I have been nattering since god knows when, it was lecture free day you know. Besides, I really needed it
‘I’m excited seeing you smiling again’ Sophie said deepening her face as she opened her arms and gave me a soothing hug.
‘Thanks love' I blushed.
‘I can’t believe I wasted one month whining over that looser…’ I said as I heaved a sigh of relief.
There were days I didn’t eat or drink, I even forgot how to smile, it was as if my world crumbling before me and I couldn’t do anything. I wish I didn’t waste one whole month recovering from the shock, have I really recovered?
Kelvin was heaven on earth, he was tall, dark and handsome which complimented my light skin colour. We could talk about everything and anything, he was everything I wanted, full of Rhema I must confess. He graduated two years ago and he's already working.
'Finally!
My dream of getting married four months after my graduation was faithfully coming to play until she showed up, Bela showed up… he said she was his best female friend.
“Kelvin, I’m not comfortable with her, I didn’t say you shouldn’t have female friends, but that of you and bela is on the extreme, I’m getting confused, you two are everywhere, you’re always on phone with her 24/7, you both have the week all planned out that I barely get to talk with you without you saying
Bela this bela that' I said with a straight face.
We’ve had this conversion like a thousand times, I couldn't explain why I don’t seem to be convinced that they were just friends even though I knew they were just friends.
‘Comon sweet, there’s nothing really, Bela and I are just friends’ he assured
‘trust me, there’s nothing to worry about, I love you and that’s all that matters' he added shaking my shoulder as a smile flickered across my face.
Phone rings…
‘please excuse me sweet, I want to get something for Bela' he requested
‘here we go again' i lashed out
‘I’m sorry' he said leaving a peck on my cheek.
I honestly don’t understand, friendship should have boundaries, I’m his girl’ I cussed out
‘Or I’m I being so insecure?’ I thought to myself teary eyed.
I think I confronted Bela, although I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do but I needed answers... she said there was nothing between them, that Kelvin wasn’t even her type, she also added that she was looking forward to seeing us getting married.
I decided to trust my love despite all the discomfort I felt inside of me. I've prayed about the way I felt countless times, I flow well with of his other females pals but I just have zero understanding of my uneasiness towards bela. Something wasn't right in me, was I being paranoid or what, who can save me from this...But come to think of it,
‘Kelvin is a godly man’ I encouraged myself but it didn’t take away the excruciating pain I felt, the pain was tearing me apart… i felt Kelvin was slipping away before my very eyes and all he could say was there was nothing to worry.
‘who does that?’
My father, Mr Francis has never supported my relationship. He was a staunch man yet loving. For the past two years I’ve dated Kelvin, I’ve been trying my best to make dad meet him but all my effort were futile.
‘The earlier dad meets with Kelvin the better except I don’t want my dream wedding to come up in four months' I brooded.
I picked up my phone and called dad, after exchanging pleasantries I continued with my Kelvin talk
‘Daddy when you see him you will like him I promise, he loves God and he’s a good man' I persuaded
‘Maggie my sunshine, I honestly don’t know why I’m not fascinated about this Kelvin of a guy but let him come over this weekend, I guess it was high time we spoke'
‘Omg!’ I shrieked
‘you’re the best dad' I kissed my phone and thought of calling Kelvin,
'no! I won’t call him I will go to his office and give him the good news’ I said to myself blushing strongly.
I can’t deny the fact that he has been bothered over my dad’s coldness towards him, dad didn’t want to see nor speak with him,
'now all my worries are over. I strongly believe Daddy will like him when they meet, i mean, Kelvin was a smooth talker and the desire of every sensible lady'
Talking about visiting him, I always call him before coming around, it’s not in me to visit unannounced but today I’m gonna surprise him I concluded dancing shortly and heading straight to my closet.
I ransacked my closet and changed into a blue denim and a pink top. Did a simple makeup, picked up my phone and dashed out of the house, relishing on how I was gonna break the news to Kelvin.
‘It’s public holiday what was I even thinking, he should be at home now' I said with a deep face hitting my forehead almost immediately.
Kelvin was living in a two bedroom apartment, It was a low fenced bungalow with just two flat, painted green and cream.
I opened the gate, hailed the neighbors and headed towards his apartment.
His gate to the varanda was opened likewise the parlour door so I walked in...
'Guess wha...aaaaaat!!!’ I cussed out dropping my phone on the floor, I think I heard my phone screen shattering,
To be continued…
Question for the day...
what’s your take on guys/ladies that are already committed keeping the opposite sex as a best friend
