Friendly Advised

"Not about that. There's a girl am in love with and hoping to seeing soon someday" Patrick said and Chris stared to Patrick in shocked, written all over his face.

"You can't be serious bro, why not tell Anita the truth all these while?" Chris asked and Patrick shook his heard hearing Chris.

"No. I wanted too, but I couldn't. I thought we wouldn't last long together dating. Am just confused, as she has refused to broke up with me. I like Anita but I can't just stop thinking about Tina."

"Tina.. Who is Tina?" Chris questioned and Patrick sighed, Not wanting to talked about Tina, but Chris won't take no for an answer so he pressed on, and asked again "Guy who is Tina?. Where does she lives, and why haven't I seen her or heard of her yet either. Where's she?."

Patrick was quiet and Chris probed further,

"Guy, am not leaving here until you tell me who is Tina?. Am already waiting for your wedding bells with Anita, and now you're coming up with this excuse, If is play, stop it."

Chris became serious as he spoked in pidgin english and Patrick calmly replied, "Fine I will tell you."

"Tina's a young lady, I meet several times back then when I used to travel to the village."

"A village girl?" Chris asked, looking at Patrick in surprise and Patrick replied faintly,

"Yes, but then my sister, Sharon was still with me."

"Sharon?. I heard she's now in the states, Abroad enjoying white men dick." Chris laughed out, but Patrick frowned hearing what Chris said and Chris defended himself saying,

"Don't pick an offense, but you know is the truth I spoked about. Like who doesn't know Sharon. Her news is all over the media, you know she's online and flaunting these white men too, so everyone are aware, not like am lying about Sharon to you."

Patrick sighed and Chris asked,

"So tell me, why haven't you told Anita that you won't marry her yet and why ain't you with Tina?."

Patrick shook his head and he stared downward and spoked, "I was with Tina once." Patrick used his both hands to covered up his face and he continued.

"I loved Tina, I wanted her, but she wasn't given me any chances to getting to closer to her then, nor to talk to her either. She didn't stared up to my face then, when I was still living in that my other house, closer to the village though in the other City."

"I know there," Chris said

"So I begged my sister, to helped me talked to her, since Sharon was doing her final exams in Tina's village, but Sharon bluntly told me she couldn't helped me talked to Tina, that the both of them weren't friends, nor in the same class. Saying she has a friend whom she has been seen talking to Tina. Then she introduced her friend to me. When I meet her friend named prisca, the girl was all over me, looking at me with love in her eyes, honestly I don't know what to do, I brought her to my place then to helped me talked to Tina, whom was her friend, but she was all over me and wanting me too. I had to resisted her though and plainly told her off that I do not love her but is her friend, Tina that I want."

"So what happened?." Chris cut Patrick off from his long epistle and questioned,

"Why don't you do same to Anita?. I mean tell Anita off on time that you don't love her?."

Patrick became quiet and Chris spoked,

"You see.. you're in love with Anita too and you just don't know it. Just forget about this Tina girl you're talking about, since you haven't seen her for a long time and move on with Anita, I can bet Anita loves you very much" Chris added.

"Hmph. I tried forgetting about Tina, but I cannot. I keep dreaming about Tina day and night, to the extent I wet my bed too in dreams.."

"What?!" Chris exclaimed, and Patrick shook his head sadly.

"I had to move out from my former house before the dream could reduced, and I was now able to sleep and wake up peacefully" Patrick said faintly and Chris because curious.

"Are you these serious?" Chris asked but Patrick didn't replied.

"What were you dreaming about?, Where you making love with her in your dreams, don't scare me about these village girls, you know I told you village girls are my speck now" Chris said and Patrick laughed out first and replied,

"I know. Well you got the point already. I was dreaming about making love to her."

"What!!" Chris shouted again.

"Why?. Did you slept with Tina before in real or she's a witch?" Chris asked and Patrick just smiled to him and replied

"You didn't let me finished, how will you understand what am saying."

"Okay, Am sorry, continue please" Chris apologised and Patrick sighed and replied,

"I had met Prisca and she demanded I bribe her first, if I wanted her to convinced her friend to come over to my place. I gave Prisca money first , 2nd and 3rd time before one day Prisca came with Tina to my house, And I was the happiest person that day."

"Hmm" Chris hummed and Patrick continued, "When I tried talking to Tina, she refused giving me audience. Well I had to go in and prepare something for her and her friend Prisca that day as obviously, that same day the rain fell very heavily and Tina wasn't able to returned back home, as their village was a bit far, and the heavy rain didn't stop until midnight, Before I could finished with my cooking and wanted to ate, I noticed my sister had all gone out that same night not minding the rain, And I had thought Tina left with them as I didn't saw anyone inside my parlour, but when I stepped out, I saw Tina sobbing in the rain, it meant Prisca left with my sister and her two friends that came visiting Sharon that evening." Patrick stopped talking.

"Eh, eh! So what now happened?" Chris asked but Patrick shook his head, making Chris to grabbed the point.

"Don't tell me you took advantage of that innocent girl?" Chris questioned out angrily and Patrick put his both palms to covered up his face as he stared downwards, not able to spoked a word.

"How could you Patrick?!. You mean you slept with her and took advantage of her, under that cold?!. Did she agreed to do it with you, or you forcefully took advantage of her, since you both were home alone?!" Chris asked out angrily and Patrick sighed and replied

"I didn't meant to did it. I didn't knew what came over me. I just couldn't resisted her. She's to beautiful. The most beautiful lady I have ever seen. More beautiful than Anita or any of these city ladies here. I just couldn't controlled myself that night when I was with her, Am sorry."

Chris shook his head sadly.

"Now I understood why you packed out. Because of guilt, hmph. But you don't owe me any apology. I don't need your apology, she does , I mean Tina needs your apology not me, So did you apologized to her after that night?. Did you asked for her forgiveness?" Chris questioned but Patrick shook his head sadly.

"I begged her all thru the night as we didn't slept because of her sobbing, but she didn't said anything, she ran away in the morning, I had to rush out and looked for her, luckily I saw her walking down the wrong street, and I had to dropped her at her village junction. She never gave me any audience, she just ran out of my car, when I stopped my car at her village junction."

"Hmph.." Chris breathed out heavily.

"But you still owe her an apology as to that night. You really still have to look for her and apologize to her again. Since when did this happen?" Chris asked and Patrick replied, "Almost going to 2 years now."

"Wow!" Chris exclaimed and he questioned, "And you never bothered to searched for her since then?."

"I did, I don't know her house, I only know her mother's shop, And I used to stopped at her mother's shop whenever am traveling to visit my parents. I do pass their village market, going to ours, as it leads down to our hometown, but I never saw her since then. I don't know what happened to her and the last time i asked her mother about her when I branched to bought some fruits from her mom, she told me her daughter travelled to her elder sister's place, that's why I haven't been seeing her around."

"Hmm.." Chris stared at Patrick in disbelieved as he couldn't believe his bossom friend, could did such a thing.

Something seen as a crime as r*pe, And Chris asked "Are you sure she travelled or she ran away from home ?."
