chapter 8 The accusation

The next morning after that night, Ben felt guilty of everything he did and couldn't face me at all. All he could do was to write to me . This was what it said...

" Hi dear,

I'm sorry for what happened last night . I've always tried to control myself but I couldn't anymore. Fair ladies are my weakness, I'm sorry dear. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me . I can't face you because I'm so ashamed of myself . I will distance myself from you from now on to avoid all these . let's minimize our closeness to each other . If possible, I would go back to my mum's house. I've always loved you dear but I can't express it because of my sister. I'm sorry . "

I was sad for everything that happened. the whole day was slow, lonely and sad for both of us. He was never able to look me in the eye again . Even when I wanted to speak to him, he would now down his head without looking at my face. so I also wrote to him saying,"

it's okay I've forgiven you. feel free and let bygones be bygones.""

After that, we got along again.

someway somehow, mum got to know about it and she argued so much with her brother and asked him to leave the house to their mum. " Ben how could you... I knew it...I knew this would happen. now pack your things and leave . I'm not ready to see my grandchildren from Debbie."

mum shouted these words out so loudly.

Ben packed his stuffs and left the next day.

Weeks after , things became normal . Everything was settled, all conflicts resolved. All matters calmed.

RHYDA'S (POV)

Hey Debbie, Bran, Lois , Serwaa guess what? Ben is coming back. All issues has been resolved . He would come by afternoon time.

Ben came with full energy to fill the house. But his attitude had changed somehow. He seemed not to care any longer. His reactions had changed .

That got me thinking that, it was lust he had for me not love.

Days after, he told me he had a dream about me and that he would tell me later.

" In my dream, you were seducing me into having an affaire With you Debbie"

what are you saying Ben. what nonsense is this.

Anyway this is just a dream. It would never happen.

But he said," Even your eyes and your stares are seductive. In reality , you seduce me a lot"

Really Ben , then get your eyes off me okay. what sort of accusation is that.

In about two days time, mum approached me saying that " Ben has told me you have been seducing him so becareful about that. "

Since then , the joy of seeing Ben vanished. How on Earth would he accuse me of something like that. After all he was the one obsessed with me so why would he rather accuse me of such an act.

But there was nothing at all I could do to clear this accusation because they trust themselves than to trust me. And I know for sure that is a plus for mum because she would succeed in painting me black to my dad.

If only Ben knew the trouble he had caused me , he wouldn't have done that.

Where did I actually go wrong. I think it was a mistake for me to get close to him. Ben brought so much joy to me but this time , he had snatched all that away from me.

I wish he never came into my life .

Not so long , and fight broke up between the two of them . Ben had to leave the house once again. What a sudden turn over. I can't say anything much . I'm just a spectator. They are both short tempered so whenever they are fighting , one has to keep mute and watch because you would end up being the third party soon. They fight over every petty issue that could have been resolved easily without fights .

What a sibling they are. Their fights always reminded me of my biological family .

How my bro and I always fought unnecessarily and comes back to reconcile afterwards.

Sometimes the fight is about food or anything else. But my mum always tolerated us without getting tired. Maybe it was because we were the same day borns. Hahaha! Thoughts of my bro at least put some genuine smile on my face . Oh lest I forget Ben left without saying good bye .

I wasn't expecting it anyways...
