We continued the fun like that for three
days, and we didn’t see or sighted Marcus and we’re left with four papers to
round up our final semester’s exams.
That Marcus, I am very sure that the bullet
proof vest he wore was the one he stripped me off the time I went to him with
tracking devices all over my body. He took away my bullet proof and kept it for
himself; he thinks he’s smart enough, we shall get him. We charged all the
agents to be very watchful and vigilant so we won’t miss a chance of getting
Marcus. I came up with another idea to stop moving around with Mirabel, let her
be going on her own so Marcus will maybe show himself to her again, and of
course the underground agents will always be on her trail.

I forgot to mention that I met my Lecturer
that advised me the other time, I appreciated her and told her it went so well.
I even told Mirabel about it. I also appreciated Promise for explaining things
to Mirabel ahead of me.

My late uncle’s first son, Jonas was
already in the university and i’ve been helping him because of the good deeds
of his late father. Although, he wasn’t in my school, but we do communicate
from time to time. And my Father has been helping my late uncle’s family.

I got a call from the first lady on my way
back from school and the following conversation ensued…
Me: Hello, good afternoon ma
First lady: How are you dear
Me: I’m fine ma
First lady: Okay… I want to invite you
personally to come for my wedding anniversary tomorrow 7:00.pm but you should
be here before the time, oh sorry… i forgot to ask, can you make it?
Me: Of course ma, i’ll be pleased to be
there
First lady: Ok good… Your Parents are also
coming, so… Frank will come pick you guys up including your sister
Me: Ok ma
First lady: Alright, bye
Me: Ok bye ma

I told Nancy about it and she was so happy.
It was only Nancy that has exam paper to write the following day. I went to
Mirabel’s lodge to spend my day before the evening when we’ll be going for her
Parent’s anniversary dinner celebration. I already had it in mind to wear the
new suit i bought the other time.
Mirabel: We should bring Promise along with
us
Me: It’d be a good idea, that’s if it’s ok
Mirabel: Sure, she’ll be my guest
Me: Ok, tell her then.
She told her and she agreed to come along
with us.
Vincent came to the lodge, then we all went
to my apartment i.e Vincent, Mirabel, Cynthia, Promise and Me. Nancy was already
in the apartment, so we hit the road headed to the Presidential villa with an
SUV and a Coaster bus. Frank, Jummy and two mobile police men drove in the SUV
while the rest of us with three policemen drove in the Coaster bus.
We gisted while on road, Nancy took the
lead in the gist. I noticed she has reduced 20% of her talking capability,
maybe Vincent is working on it. All i did was to contribute, defend myself when
i’m being teased or accused of something, and i laughed out mostly.
We arrived at the villa before 6:00.pm and
mingled with those present and they served us wine.
Guests started coming including my Parents,
and the hall got filled up before 7.00.pm i wasn’t that surprised, why won’t
they come before time when it’s the President’s party. The invited guests were
close friends, relations and partners. It wasn’t a big party, just a dinner
celebration. Ministers, Governors, Senators and other dignitaries were in
attendance.
The celebration started, the President came
forward and appreciated everyone for coming. He said some things before he
introduced his wife, she came forward and stood by his side and then she gave a
little speech. Vincent and Mirabel also came out as their Parents cut the large
cake. After that, the president and his wife danced together for about a minute
before others that cares to dance joined them on the dancefloor. The first lady
introduced me to her friends and other guests as Mirabel’s fiancé. And Mirabel
also did the same to close relations including Ike’s Parents.
I shyly danced with Mirabel while many
guests were dancing with their spouses. Nancy and Vincent were also dancing (I
wonder when they’ll take their relationship to the next level by introducing
themselves to our respective Parents) I sighted Promise seated and talking with
a guy we met earlier. The guy is darkly cute, I guess she has found a new
friend. I stopped dancing and took Mirabel to our seat to eat the food i’ve
been salivating for.
I really enjoyed the night, it was so
wonderful. Seeing prominent personalities of the Country in their cool with all
smiles. Looking at them all, I couldn’t tell which was a criminal.
Me: (To Mirabel) Who is that guy seated
with Promise?
Mirabel: I forgot his name, but he is son
of the FCT Minister
Me: He’s been with her for a while now
Mirabel: Maybe he is seeking for a chance
Me: Is he a good guy?
Mirabel: I dunno, I only know him as the
first son of the FCT Minister.
Me: Okay…
We left there about 13 minutes to the hour
of 9:00.pm to my apartment dropping me and Nancy before they left for Mirabel’s
lodge.

The following day, while chilling in my
apartment and working on my website as I don’t have a paper to write, my phone
rang for one second and stopped. Someone flashed me, so i guess. I picked up my
phone to see who the flasher was but it was a hidden number. How can a person
hid his/her number and flash somebody? That’s rubbish! I hissed and dropped my
phone. A message came into my phone minutes later, I checked and the sender was
unknown to me, so i read the content of the message and it read as follows:
“Hi, It’s Marcus, the same one. Yes i’m
still alive. I’m alive for a reason, for a second chance. I know what happened
to Dorothy, how her life ended. I don’t want to end up like her. I have lost
everything because of the crazy love i have for Mirabel. I want to start a new
life and i hope you can forgive me for everything i did to you. I would’ve died
for nothing, but here i am living for a second chance. I promise never to
bother you and mirabel ever again”
I was stunned when i read the message, is
he for real? I find it hard to believe. Although, he made his point, but… he’s
backing out? How truthful is this??
WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 36
