It Cannot Be Hidden

“Well I called you hear to talk. It’s been a while we sat down together as friends and discuss things. I really don’t know what killed the fun”. Christian said to K. J scoffed. He rubbed his fist. He was at the verge of punching Christian in the face, but he knew better than to do that. It was too early for violence. He tried to control himself and put his temper in check. Christian smirked.

“You can go ahead and hit me, you know? I won’t fight back”. Christian said. K told him he was crazy. Christian agreed. But he told him he was not as crazy as him who went ahead to tell Mimi lies.

“Lies? I do not understand? Did I lie about yours and Lanre’s relationship or mine and Ify’s relationship?” K asked. It was at this moment Christian realised he had almost blew up the truth in K’s face. He decided to immediately cover it up.

“Since when did you and Ify started working to get back together?” Christian asked so K would believe he was referring to his relationship with Ify. K told him it was none of his business. Christian shrugs. He asked K if he also has the right to tell Mimi about his and Lanre’s relationship and also tell her about Lanre’s pregnancy.

“Why? Were you trying to keep it a secret? Abi you forget say belle no de hide? Pregnancy cannot be hidden Chris”. K said to Christian. Christian told him that still didn’t give him the right to talk about their relationship especially to someone like Mimi who is the notorious gossip queen.

K told Christian he was not one willing to cooperate with him after he took Lanre away from him. This Christian told K was not true and cannot be backed with any evidence. K continued anyway. He told Christian that he was doing it for Lanre. Mimi had come to ask him about what was actually going on between him and Lanre and his fiancée, and also the truth about his mother’s attempt to steal the country’s money as a reward for helping Lanre when it went viral she was a first-class prostitute. He had seized the opportunity to say those things to protect Lanre as well as his family, but most especially Lanre.

Christian asked K how that was meant to protect Lanre. K told him about Ify’s threat. Then K asked Christian to get Lanre out of the country. He told him to make sure he carries Lanre to another country where she could live peacefully. He also told Christian that he could as well go ahead and get married to Lanre now since she was already pregnant with his child. According to K, it would not be nice if Christian should dump Lanre after getting her pregnant.

“Does that mean Ify could tie you down with a pregnancy?” Christian asked K. J told Christian she already did. Christian told K he was aware Ify was not pregnant and had already warned her to leave him alone.
