Patrick raised his head up and stared at Chris with fretting eyes.
"I don't think her mother would lied to me either.. She said her daughter travelled to her elder sister's place, that's why Tina's not around."
"Hmm, Okay. How does she look like?. Does she look like those wayward ladies, I mean like your sister type, Sharon for example?" Chris asked, wanting to knew more about Tina but Patrick's eyes narrowed at him.
"No, it was her first time and I was her first" Patrick replied and Chris gasped "What!."
"You mean you took her pride!, How could you Patrick?" Chris stared to Patrick in disbelieved.
"I can't believe you are this kind of a person Patrick. What if she comm!tted su!cide, it obvious the lady didn't loved you then and you were the one, literally admiring her, and yet you did such to her, wow!" Chris shouted and Patrick couldn't said anything next and he took his wine bottle beside him and held it up to his lips and drank from the bottle directly, while staring at the ceiling fan rotating in his receiving lounge and Chris finally broke the silence.
"Well you've to still looked for Tina again. You still owe her an apology, A serious one and you have luck she didn't cursed you, If not, by now you ought to have been wretched or poor like a church.rat, not the billionaire you're" Chris chuckled, As he imagined if Patrick were to became a poor wretched man.
"Well seriously, you've to still searched for her. Even if it meant travelling to her mother's sister village to look for her. Since you don't even know whether she may be returning back or not. At least to know how she's feeling. What if she was pregnant?. Or did you used any protection on her that night?. I doubt you did, because you clearly f*rced yourself on her, not like she agreed to do it with you." Chris said and Patrick removed his wine bottle away from his sinful lips and stared to Chris.
"You need to look for her though and apologise to her again. Until she forgives you, so you don't continue to live your life in guilt. Knowing you hurt someone in the past, and the person still hates you or might even curse you one day, when remembering their painful past event. And please don't ever mention you love her again, because if you truly did loved her, you wouldn't have r*ped her, nor f*rced yourself on her. Just looked for her and apologise to her again, that all I can tell you to do for now."
Chris finished his own drink and stood up and he left Patrick's office, for Patrick to decided for himself on what to do.
Chris was also from Patrick's village as they were childhood friends since when Patrick's parent had returned back to the village.
Patrick and Chris became close friends, but since they were doing different business, their friendship seemed to be on hold till whenever they got to meet nor visited each other,
After meeting with Patrick the next two weeks Chris travelled to their village, as his younger sister was getting married and he had to be in attendance for his sister's wedding, because she was the only daughter in his family.
Chris had three older brothers, making them five inclusive his sister. His sister's husband was a big man from another tribe and village, but as per their custom demanded, his sister's traditional marriage must be held in their own village.
While driving home and passing thru Ochanda market, As they had to passed there first before heading to their own village, Chris stopped by to purchased somethings he would be taking home to his parent.
After purchasing all he wanted to bought, when leaving the market, Chris turned and saw some fruits and he decided to bought some from the shade. But as he drew closer to the shade, he saw a beautiful fair lady selling the fruits, making his breath to seized as he was stunned by her extraordinary beauty and shining eyes.
Chris went there and couldn't even said a word on what he wanted to bought not until Tina stared to him and asked him, "Good afternoon sir, what do you want to buy?."
Chris gulped and smiled and scratched his head as he snapped out from his dazed and pointed to the fruit at first as he was unable to speak, still smiling to her sheepishly.
Tina smiled back to him and Chris must confessed internally, Tina was the most beautiful lady he had seen as she had a beautiful smile too.
Chris subtly wondered how a beautiful young lady like her would be selling fruits, in the village square. And Tina asked him, "Which of the fruits do you want?." But Chris seemed lost in his thinking again, admiring her and smiling to her. Not until Mama-Tina decided to asked him herself.
"Which fruit do you want sir?."
"Oh," Chris smiled and he stared to the fruits again.
"How do you sell them?," Chris asked pointing at the fruits and Mama-Tina told him the prices, while Chris bought some, still admiring Tina as he couldn't took his eyes off her .
Chris finally asked her mother, "Is she your daughter?."
"Yes" Mama-Tina replied.
"She's my daughter." Mama-Tina said and Chris smiled to her and said, "Wow, but she doesn't really look like you."
Mama-Tina smiled back to Chris, understanding him and she replied "I know. She resembles her father, just his female version."
Mama-Tina smiled sweetly at Chris while Chris paid for his fruit.
Mama-Tina wasn't fair as she was a dark skin beauty, while her husband was light skinned in completion. As her husband had married her, mainly because during her youthful days, she had big sexy curvy hips and that attracted her handsome husband to her and married her, As she thought she could kept him with that, but her husband loves women with natural big curvy waist that he later left her and ran away with another curvy light skinned woman that has money too, but because the woman didn't gave birth to any child for him, he returned, after 11-years of abandoning her and his children.
Mama-Tina shook her head remembering her ugly past, while Chris started a conversation with Tina though not minding her mother was there.
Chris told Tina, "My parent live in the neighboring village and that's why I returned home. For my junior sister's wedding."
"Okay" Tina replied and smiled at him, And Chris spoked to her again, "My sister's wedding is in two weeks time but we have to start on time with the marriage preparations and arrangements."
"Okay, that's nice" Tina replied and Chris asked, "Can I have your number?."
"No.. I don't have a phone" Tina said and Chris was dumbfounded.
[How can a beauty lady her not have a phone?,] Chris thought as he smiled back to her.
Chris had finished purchasing all he needed, but he still wanted to kept in touch with Tina and Tina also knew why he was asking for her number, as she assumed, he wanted to slept with her, just like every other men gawking at her.
Previously a guy in her village whom was her former senior in college, that had being wooing her bought her a phone, but she told him she couldn't collected it, unless he told her what he really wanted from her first.
He was disappointed, And when he got to knew of her baby boy, he couldn't believed it that she already had a child out of wedlock.
He came to her house and mocked her, that the Tina he knew was to innocent to got pregnant out of wedlock, well he still admired her and wanted her though not minding she already has a child, A cute son for that matter. He said, "You can still bear me beautiful children, I don't mind you already have a child, please accept my proposal," But Tina refused and told him she wasn't interested.What she wanted was to go back to school or learnt an handwork so that she could train her son and have her own business, but the guy named Max got upset with her telling her that, she had been playing 'had to get' to him, yet she went to opened her legs for another man, and not only that, she also got pregnant on top of it.
Tina felt sad and since then she had being avoiding Max and every other mem like plague.
Tina knew since she already has a child out of wedlock, it might as well be difficult for her to earned her respect from some men asking her out, since her pride has already been taking away, But she just let it slide and avoided any man asking her out, nor wooing her to stopped her on the road.
