An old wound

A cursed promise

I spent almost a month and counting at Femi's house...I could finally walk without a wheelchair or Clutch..All thanks to benard who drove me everytime to the hospital for examination. Nothing really new happened in the past days and week... everything and everybody was just normal.

Untill one afternoon at about 2:15pm...

I was upstairs with shola..when I heard someone shouting on top of their voices downstairs.. immediately, shola looked outside the window..

"Femi! Femi!! Femi!!"

The voice kept calling..

"Who is that?"

I asked shola who was staring through the window.

"It's Lorra"

I hurriedly went to see for myself if it was truly Lorra.

"What does she want?"

Shola asked in anger and immediately went downstairs. I didn't know what to do or what to say..all I would do was fearfully follow shola downstairs.

"My brother isn't at home" shola angrily said to Lorra.

"You?"

Lorra looked at me with so much hate and anger in her.

"What are you still doing here?"

She asked me....

"I said what are you doing here?"

She asked again...this time moving closer to me with so much hatred in her eyes..

"She is our guest...do you have a problem with that?"

Shola who saw how scared I was... answered her.

"Where is Femi?"

"I told you already..my brother isn't home"

"Liar!!!!!" She shouted.

Lorra immediately brought out her phone and dialed a number...then she said

"Femi isn't home" then she broke down crying. I could clearly tell that Lorra was anything more that obsessed with Femi..I mean, who wouldn't be.

"Femi isn't home"

She kept saying while she poured down tears from her eyes.

"Femi is breaking my heart, Femi wants to destroy me, Femi is making me lose my mind"

Then, she fell on the ground crying...

Ada tried to lift her up from the ground while shola stood there with me.. watching a finished woman... finally, ada was able to take Lorra to the corner of the house and immediately called someone that lorra my might have been speaking to minutes ago.

After some minutes...we noticed that a car was at the gate. At first I thought it was Femi, but I was wrong.... it was someone else.

Sarah...

When Sarah saw me..she immediately froze

And so did I.

"Rita?"

I walked straight to me and stood in front of me. Why wasn't I so surprised? I asked myself. Was it because of the big picture I saw at lorra's place? It all made sense now.....Lorra was Sarah's younger sister.

"Wh...what....what are you doing here?"

She asked me

"Rita? Rita? Why are you here?"

"She is our guest.... please take your sister and leave my brother's house. She has been shouting and crying unessesrially and it is disturbing out neighbors"

Shola answered..

"Guest? Rita is your guest?"

"Yes, she is"

"Im.... impossible"

"Why is it impossible?"I finally replied her after weeks of trying to suppress my anger.

"You think I don't deserve a better life? You think I should be wandering around the streets...mad? Is that what you want?"

I suddenly felt like I had being stabbed on the chest. The pain came back again....I couldn't help but cry..

"a betrayer and a murderer..that is what you are..that is what you areeee" I found myself shouting, screaming and crying.

It was the only way to relieve myself of the pain I was in.

"You took everything I had..you broke me Sarah. You mocked me when I was in pain, you left me when I thought you were there for me. You think I don't deserve to be in a better place like this?"

"Ri...Rita wait"

"What did I ever do to you? Where did u ever go wrong? What did I do that you couldn't take pity on me..I have been through hell and you know it? Tell me Sarah..tell me where and how I offended you"

"You are not supposed to be here?"

"Why? Because it's your supposed in-laws house?"

"We... listen, Rita we can always talk somewhere else... please"

"Go to hell with your explanation...and I promise you one thing Sarah.. You will beg me and I will turn away from you, you would ask for My forgiveness and I would spit on your face, you will scream for help and I wouldn't hear you, you will watch me take everything that ever made you smile, you will turn into a shadow of yourself. I Rita Samuel will make earth a living hell for you and anyone that is close to you. You will suffer the pain that I suffered and no one would listen to you rant.

You will be left alone in this world with no one to talk to. I promise to make you miserable and I will make you miserable"

Then I angrily left...I didn't know how to make Sarah miserable....but I wanted to do it so badly. I promised to make her feed from her pain and I would do just as I had promised.

Shola... immediately followed me inside the house to console me because at that time..i was looking devastated and was literally soaked in tears....shola and I were still at the living room when we heard a horn at the gate.

"That must be Femi"

Shola immediately ran outside to welcome her brother.

Few minutes later... shola walked into the house with Femi holding Lorra's hands... It was then that I realized they hadn't left earlier..I was so shocked and surprised to see Femi holding Lorra's hands so passionately as they walked in to the sitting room... I thought that was a little surprising little did I know that I was about to get the shock of my life...I knew that I meant nothing to Femi..I mean, I wasn't his sister neither was I his fiancee or even his friend.. but the way Femi walked pass me was so shocking and annoying that i Immediately couldn't help but feel hate in my heart towards him.

He actually walked pass me without even saying at least hi or hello.

With the way he was holding Lorra's hands... I could tell that my days were numbered in his house. Feeling so miserable and dumbed...I stood up and went upstairs to my room.

I knew that at some point that I was going to leave Femi's house but I didn't know it would be like this. Part of me wanted to just leave and the other part of me wanted to stay... wanting to stay at Femi's place was not because I enjoyed the comfort and company of everybody...it was because...I felt like Lorra didn't deserve to have Femi.

All I could think of at that moment...was a way to keep Femi apart from Lorra. I could feel a fast rising Vengeful spirit growing in me. I wanted to hurt Sarah so bad...and in other to do that I had to cause Lorra pain.

With the way Sarah rushed to meet Lorra earlier today..I could tell that she really cared about her so much. To me Lorra was the shortest way to hurting Sarah....and just then I realized that lorra was now my first step to becoming a Villain.....
