Chapter 6

The whole time Blessing lived with her cousin, She continously visited Femi.

On the day we got our posting letters, She had paid him a visit and tried to seduced him

'Lisa is your friend, Blessing have some self respect' Femi shouted at her.

'Lisa is my friend, but you deserve better Femi, you have no idea the things she has done behind you' Blessing said.

'Interested to know' Femi sat down and calmly asked her to tell him everything.

'She has cheated on you twice Femi, first with a guy named Frank, he was in england and was sending money to her, then Emma, a guy she met on Chika's birthday. They had sex on Chika's birthday and her wedding day too, I am sure they are even dating. She explained.

'Please dont tell her it was me that told you o' she pleaded but Femi was too heartbroken to listen.

'You ungrateful cheap slut' was the words I heard as I picked Femi's call.

'Babe are you okay'? I asked in shocked.

'You are a dog' a shameless dog, oh you thought you would fool me for ever, after sleeping with Frank and Emma!! I curse the day I met you he said in tears and ended the call.

How did he find out?? Just how?? I shivered.

Blessing yes!! only Blessing would sell me out like this.

I was already in tears, what have I become, what sort of mistake have I made.

I dialed Blessing's number but it didnt connect.

I had to call Chika.

'Why will Blessing do such a thing' Chika said concernly

'She had developed a liking for Femi after he rushed you to the school clinic, I didnt know she would go this far' she said.

'I couldnt stop crying'

I tried reaching out to Femi but he would always abuse and curse at me. I had to let him be.

I focused on my relationship with Emma, even though it was had to forget about Femi.

Just like Emma had promised, he influenced my posting to his mother's law firm.

As I worked diligently in his mother's law firm, and played the role of a good girlfriend to him.

He started making plans to marry me, I felt so happy.

Maybe it was not bad losing Femi afterall.

Little did I know that everything would go sour, When Emma made our relationship opened to his friends, Chika's husband was surprised.

How did you both met and since when did you both started dating? He had asked him

Close to a year and enough to know that she is the love of my life. Emma replied.

That is shocking because she actually attended my wedding with her boyfriend whom my wife said they had been together for a long time. was Chika's husband's next words.

'She was at your wedding with her boyfriend? Emma questioned.

'Yes'.

With that Emma picked his phone from the table and angrily left, even when Chika's husband called out to him, he just ignored.

'I was at his house that weekend' I had just prepared rice and stew for him when he barged in.

'You had a boyfriend'? He was with you that day. He screamed at me.

'Not again'!!!

Tears were already flowing down from my eyes.

I couldnt even utter a word.

'Are you a slut'? How did you let me touch you when you knew your boyfriend was around?

'I didnt answer'

You were with him for years and you could cheat on him so easily, what about me? have u cheated on me??

Tell me!! He shouted.

'I knelt down immediately'

'Baby please, I have never cheated on you, I can never do that to you, I love you Please' I cried.

'Leave'!!! I never want to set my eyes on you again and I will tell my mother to transfer you to a different firm.

'I cried so hard'

Flashing back to this memory, I just know trying to reach out to Femi would be baseless.

My mum was wrong I mumbled, and slept.

The next day was Sunday.

I never misses sunday service, it wasnt just because I was a good christian, I just felt maybe a man in the church would take a liking on me and approach me.

As I applied my make up

I heard my phone ringing. I picked up and it was my younger sister.

'Sister Lisa, I don born o, it's a baby boy.

'You didnt tell me you were due, I would have come to be with you' I said happily

'My husband said I shouldn't bother you, that you are busy looking for a husband' she said.

'My mood went from 100 to 0 immediately' Congratulations oh, I am happy for you, I managed to say and the call ended.

Tears clouded my eyes, I couldnt do my make up anymore.

What is the essence of going to church sef, God is already punishing me for my mistakes. I cried.
