Because I'm Curious

Ify looked at K a little bit confused. Why would he do such a thing, helping her by accepting such lies. They will definitely be caught seeing that she was not pregnant at all. If the father finds out, what excuse would he give then? Would he still stick to telling another lie just lie she was planning to? You can only tell a lie after telling a lie. One lie leads to another, creating a whole bunch of mess.

“Why are you doing this?” Ify asked K. He smiled at her. Then he looked up as though trying to remember something.

“You were Lanre’s friend. You were a really good friend back then. So I thought helping you would be the same as helping her”. K said to her. Ify snickers. She shook her head with a smirk on her lips.

“She was never really a friend on her own part. She was never truly a friend! So I do not wish to be acquainted to such a person whether in the past, the present or near future”. Ify said. K pats her on the shoulder. He told her she would get over it, whatever feeling she was feeling inside her heart. Ify frowned.

“So you really love her? Lanre has never truly loved anyone. Back in school none of her relationships lasted over two months. The highest was four months and that was just one lucky one. Do you think she will ever place you in her heart? Or are you blind to her relationship with your friend Christian?” Ify asked. K told her to shut her mouth and do as he has asked her. He told her to find a good reason why she would be breaking up with him. Then he asked her to go get some rest.

“That is something I can’t do in this house, getting a rest. From my best of knowledge, this is the same place you brought Lanre on Anita’s wedding. You both spent the weekend in this house together. It makes me uncomfortable staying here”. Ify said. K asked her if Lanre gave her full details of what happened between them in the house since she told her this was the house. Ify eyes him disapprovingly.

“No, I’m just asking because I’m curious. I mean girls are good in expressing such things. Did she tell you I was great? Did she tell you I was huge as well?” K asked. Ify told him to stop fooling himself and to wake up to reality. Then she left him and went inside the room. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. She began to reflect on what K had said to her. She thought about it, her life was more precious than any other thing at the moment. But she still can’t trust K and his father so they will have to sign a contract staying they will not bring her any harm present, or in the future. She embraced this idea with a smile. After this, she will try to find out who did this to her.
