She Won't See You Again

“Lie! You know you are lying Ify? If we are not together, how then would I know your name and how would I know you are here?” Ebube asked. He wore an extremely angry look. K thought the young man looked like he was saying the truth, but all the same, he could not just believe a random stranger.

“Tell them, tell them where you went last week Friday when you said you were going to Dubai for your wedding shopping but did not go. Or is this also a lie as well, that you had spent the entire day with me only to return to your fake fiancé to tell him lies of how you missed your flight?” Ebube yelled. Ify was short of words. How did he know about her movements last week Friday. It was true she had intentionally not gone to Dubai, but still, she does not know this man. Or could he possibly be a stalker? She wondered.

K turned to look at Ify. Ify bit her lips confusion written all over her face. She could not come up with a suitable explanation in such a short notice. How was she going to get out of this.

“Is this young man telling the truth? Have you been cheating on my son?” Olasile vented out on Ify. Ify felt frozen with fear. The woman was already giving her deadly glares. She could not afford to lose the woman’s trust.

“It is true that I did not go to Dubai that day and I had run into a friend who I used to know back then in my junior secondary school. We both decided to spend some time together. Aside from that, I do not know this man here. He is a total stranger”. Ify said praying in her heart that they do believe her. But Ebube seem to be bringing evidence which she has no clue exist, just to make her look like the liar.

He showed them pictures of he and Ify together. Worst was that the clothes she was wearing in the photo was exactly what she wore that day. K threw Ebube’s phone on the ground.

“She won’t see you again. Never you come to this residence again if you do not want to be screwed. How did this man get in?” K turned and asked one of the security men. He asked them to drag the man away And without saying a word to Ify or his mother, K went inside the house.

Olasile looked at Ify with disgust filled in her eyes. She walked away as well while Ify clenched her fist. How could someone try to ruin her relationship with K? And has done it in a way that has made his mother’s trust for her wither. She wants to believe it is Lanre, but Lanre could not possibly go this far. Lanre could not have made this up, it was too extreme. She wondered if she should go inside or just leave.
