Episode 13
Peter walked away with the hope of getting Cynthia’s
number from Precious. “How will i go about this?” he
thought as he walked briskly to his house.
THE NEXT DAY
Christabel had no choice but to stay away from David but it
wasn’t easy for her. Therefore, she needed to know the
cause of his reaction.
David was in his bedroom when Christabel entered into the
house and found Mrs Anthony in the sittingroom.
“Christabel, you are not looking good. What’s the problem?”
Mrs Anthony asked and helped her sat on a cushion. The
question melted Christabel’s heart so tears began to fall
down from her eyes.
“Why are you crying?” she was still inquisitive.
“Is David, Mummy” Christabel said in a low voice.
“What has he done?”
“David has broken up with me”
“What?! But why?”
Christabel could feel the impression of anger from her
voice. “I don’t know why, that’s the reason i came” she
replied in tears.
Mrs Anthony held her closer and began to dry her tears.
“Stop crying. I believe he was joking” she said.
They stood up and headed to David’s room. The mother
opened the door and David stared at both of them standing
at the door. Christabel left Mrs Anthony’s arms and
gradually went closer to David, then Mrs Anthony closed the
door.
David knew that Christabel had told his mother everything as
he stared at her.
“David, what have i done to you?” Christabel said in tears.
“Why have you decided to leave me with a broken heart? Or
am i not presentable and good for you?”
David grabbed her two shoulders instantly. “No, you are
perfect, you have everything a man wants in a woman” he
said looking at her wet eyes.
“Then why am i treated this way?”
David was quiet and faced up.
“I know you must have been seeing another girl, i hope she
takes care of you very well” she turned and walked towards
the door.
“Christabel!” David called. “I’m sorry” he said.
Christabel opened the door and walked out without looking
behind.
Peter collected Cynthia’s number from Precious phone
without her notice. He was alone in the parlour when he
dialed the number.
Meanwhile, Precious was in Cynthia’s house. Both were in
the kitchen when the phone rang. Cynthia looked at the
unknown caller and wondered who that could be.
“Pick your call” Precious said.
Cynthia quickly cleaned her wet hands and picked it. “Hello,
who is this?” she asked.
“I believe I’m speaking with Cynthia Basi”
“Yes..”
“Is me Peter”
“Pe..” she looked at Precious and cut the call immediately.
“Who was that?” Precious asked without looking at her.
“I don’t know the person” she replied.
Suddenly, the phone rang again.
“Is like the person is calling again. Let me see” Precious
tried to take the phone.
“No, don’t..” Cynthia wanted to prevent her but it was
already late.
Precious looked at the number very well and it seemed
familiar to her. Therefore, she glanced at Cynthia who was
looking at her.
“This looks like Peter’s number” Precious said.
Cynthia was still quiet.
Precious picked the call.
“Hello, why did you cut the call?” Peter asked.
“Peter!” Precious exclaimed.
“Who is this?”
Precious hanged up the call and looked at Cynthia in anger.
“So, this is what has been going on”
“What do you mean?” Cynthia asked. “This is the first time
I’m seeing his call. I don’t even know how he got my
number”
Precious disdained her, she kept the knife in her hand and
walked out angrily.
“Precious! Precious!!” Cynthia called but she never stopped.
Peter was still in the parlour contemplating on the voice of
the second girl when Precious banged the door in anger.
“How did you get Cynthia’s number?”
“I don’t have her number”
“Then who is the last person you called?”
Peter was quiet.
“So, this is what you do, cheating with my best friend”
“No, i was just calling to say hi”
“I believe she gave you her number”
“No, i collected it from your..your phone”
“You what?! Why?! You know what? You disgust me!”
Peter tried to touch her but she withdrew her body.
“Never you come close to me again!” she walked away..
