CHAPTER 26 : Forgiveness

Me: And what should I do now?

Inner voice: Call him.

Me: Ok I will ...

I call him and he picks up on the first ring:

Eric: Hello! Baby forgive me. Do not leave.

Me: Can you come to the public square Mathieu KEREKOU? Where we had seen each other for the first time?

Eric: I'm already on my way!

Me: Hmm! OK.

About five minutes later, he was already there. It even looks like he ran since he's sweating all over the place:

Me: You are fast eh! You ran ?

Eric: "Yes a little bit" he stutters

Me: You know what? What you did was wrong. You would have told me the truth.

Eric (Head down): Forgive me. I had no other options.

Me: Ok. It's okay. You will follow me now. We'll go to my place. Warning ! You won't go back to that house.

Eric: What? What about my stuff?

Me: What kind of business do you have over there? I will give you money and you will take others. In a few months, before my parents return from their trip, we will have our own house.
