Everywhere seemed to be quiet except the sound of the
phone that rang inside David’s pocket. Cynthia’s attention
was drawn to it. She watched David looked at the caller and
ignored it. ”As i was saying i will never..” David wanted to
continue but the phone rang again. ”David” Cynthia called.
“Pick your call” she said clearly as she looked straight into
his eyes. ”The caller isn’t important” David defended. ”I
insist, you must pick the call” Cynthia insisted and adjusted
backward. David had no other option than to do as she said.
He gradually picked the call looking at Cynthia. ”Hello baby,
what took you so long?” Christabel asked from the other side
of the phone. ”I’m sorry about that..” David replied without
looking at Cynthia. “How are you?” he asked. ”I’m fine just
that I’m missing you so much” David was quiet for a
moment, he glanced at Cynthia who was seriously watching
him with her hands folded. ”Christabel, i will call you later,
please” David said and hanged up the call. Then he quickly
turned to Cynthia and drew her closer to himself. ”Our
parents shouldn’t..” ”David, who was the caller” Cynthia
interrupted him as she placed her head on his chest. She
could even feel and hear his heartbeat. ”Her name is
Christabel, my friend in school” David replied boldly
touching and sliding her hair backward. ”Should i worry
about her?” ”No! Not at all! You don’t have to worry about
her” David replied in a haste and looked at her. “I love you so
much. Never you worry about anybody even our parents” he
urged. Cynthia nodded her head. “I have to be going. I love
you too” she said. David watched her walked back into her
house. His heartbeat began to go back to normal. He was
actually more that happy to see her after two whole weeks.
At Anthony’s resident, David laid back on his bed with his
phone and typing a message to Christabel. He imagined
what could be her reaction as he typed. He exhaled heavily
immediately he concluded it. At Mr Henry’s house-also
Christabel’s resident, the house wasn’t a storey building but
a classic bungalow. Christabel just came out from the
bathroom still contemplating on what David could be doing
to tell her that he will call later. Suddenly, her phone which
was on the bed bling. She abandoned the cream she wanted
to rub and took the phone. She smiled when she saw it was
a message from David. But her face gradually began to
change as she read the content of the messages as thus: IT
IS VERY DIFFICULFOR ME TO SAY, BUT YOU NEED TO
UNDERSTAND MY POINT THAT YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON
WITH YOUR LIFE WITHOUT ME IN IT. I’M SO SORRY,
CHRISTABEL.. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Therefore,
uncontrollable tears began to wet her eyes. She sat on the
bed still in towel to figure out what was going on. “How can
David do this to me?” she murmured bitterly in tears. “This
is not true!” she concluded and called David. ”I hope you are
joking, right!” Christabel said aloud. David was quiet. ”But
how can you do this to me?” she said in a low and shaking
voice. “I know another girl must have poison your mind..”
David could feel her pains as he listened to her. “I’m so
sorry, Christabel..” he said and the line went dead. FEW
DAYS LATER Peter practically found out the resident of
Cynthia. Without fear he walked into her compound and
knocked at the door. Luckily for him Mr Basi wasn’t at home.
Cynthia beheld Peter in surprise when she opened the door.
“What..how..” she looked around. “I mean how did you know
my place?” she asked. ”It is a surprise” Peter replied and
smiled. ”So what are you doing here?” ”Won’t you let me in?”
”No, i don’t think that’s a good idea” ”Why?” ”Because..” she
scratched her head and looked around again. “Because my
dad is around” she said. Peter composed, “Well, i just came
to say hi” he said. ”Thank you” Cynthia replied in a haste
wishing that he leaves. ”But i still need your contact” Peter
requested. ”I’m sorry i can’t do that. But you know what?
Take it from Precious” ”Okay” Peter bounced out..
