We turned around and saw Nancy standing in
the middle of the entrance; I didn’t shut the door when I came in.
Me: Nancy, you’re back
Nancy: Yeah… I came to check on Promise and
the door was opened so i… I’m here
Promise: Welcome
Nancy: Thanks! So… what’s going on?
Me: She has agreed to break-up with him
Nancy: Really? Whoa… great! Call him now
and break the news to him
Me: Not on phone, she’ll have to meet and
tell him face to face
Nancy: Huh?
Me: Yea
Nancy: Can she do it? Promise can you?
Promise: Victor I don’t think I can
Me: Of course you can, we’ll stay behind
you
Promise: I can’t face him anymore
Me: He won’t leave you alone by just
sending him a break-up text or call; you have to be bold to tell him to his
face
Promise: I can’t
Me: You’re not going to face him all by
yourself; we’ll be there for you. Just break the news to him with all sincerity
and boldness and walk away from him, I’ll take over afterwards
Nancy: That could work
Promise: And if he keeps coming? I don’t
want what happened to you and Mirabel by Dorothy and Marcus
Me: I don’t want that to happen either and
that’s why we have to act now
Promise: Ok, we should do it tomorrow
Me: No problem
Nancy: What if he comes by today? I don’t
think they’ve met today
Me: **Looked at the time** it’s 17 minutes
to 6:00
Nancy: Not late for him, he even comes
around 7 or 8pm
Me: Then we do it today if he comes around,
Promise hope you can handle it?
Promise: Ok
Me: Good
Promise: What about you?
Me: What about me?
Promise: Will you sleep over or you’re
going back?
Me: I’m sleeping over
Nancy: So… since she’s agreed to break-up
with him, are we going ahead with the fasting and prayer?
Me: Yes so that everything will go well
Promise: Fasting and prayer?
Me: Well ermmm… the thing is, I thought you
lost it because of how you reacted when I asked you to break-up with Fred, so
we wanted God to intervened and bring you to your senses **teasingly**
Promise: You’re not serious
Me: You won’t understand, because I’ve
never seen you like that before…
Promise: And whose fault was it?
Me: Mine
Promise: So you know? Good thing you
admitted it
Me: So what’s for dinner?
Nancy: I think we still have some left over
beans
Promise: Yea
Me: For who and who? Abeg make una go cook
something else
Nancy: Yes sir
Promise: What do you mean by yes sir? We’re
going to cook again because of him?
Nancy: Yes because I want to sleep
peacefully tonight, let’s go if you want that too
Promise: Not me
Nancy: Ok o **walks away**
Me: You won’t follow her?
Promise: As your cook or gini? Better know
those you boss around
Me: Really?
Promise: Yea
Me: Oya get up
Promise: No
Me: Get up
Promise: No
I rushed her and start tickling her
playfully, she starts to giggle and laughing anyhow till I grabbed her up and
took her out of the room heading to the kitchen while she was still laughing
out loud. We stepped into the parlor and saw Fred stepping in as well. He
paused immediately he saw us in that position and removed his glasses from his
face.
Didn’t he come with a car? Why didn’t he
horn so we’ll know about his arrival?? So he is so regular around here that the
security/gateman will just open up for him???
Our laughing face immediately turned
normal, and then I slowly dropped Promise on her feet. He let out a smile of
which I know it’s a fake one. I’m sure he’ll try to beat her up for that.
Fred: I can see you guys are having fun
Me and Promise both didn’t say anything
Fred: Hey mahn **giving his hand for a
handshake and I shook hands with him** Baby… go dress up lemme take you
somewhere special
Promise: Fred we need to talk
Fred: Yea we can do that when we get there
or on our way in the car
Promise: No, now please
Fred: You sound serious, hope no problem?
Promise: Let’s meet outside **walking
outside**
He smiled at me while doing a cross sign
before going out.
I sat on the couch to watch Tv but didn’t
pay full attention to it. Nancy came to the parlor and said she heard Fred’s
voice.
Me: They’re outside
Nancy: By their selves? What if he hurt
her?
Me: I doubt it, he can’t do that
Nancy: But we have to be sure, lemme go and
see what’s happening
Me: Nancy let it be, he can’t… (I got distracted
when Promise stormed in and headed straight to her room)
I stood up then Fred also walked in
following and calling her name. He came back to the parlor about two minutes
after he knocked and knocked and called out Promise’ name but she didn’t open the
door for him.
Fred: You got to help me mahn, Promise is
breaking up with me
Me: **speechless**
Nancy silently walked to the kitchen.
Fred: Why’d she decided to break-up with me
all of a sudden? Please help me talk to her
Me: Sorry I can’t do that
Fred: What? Why??
Me: I don’t want to meddle in her private
life anymore, I’ll respect whatever decision she decides to take
Fred: But this is a terrible decision!
Please talk her out of it
Me: You’re a man, talk to her and fix your
relationship and leave me out of it. If she accepts you, fine, and if she
refuses there’s nothing I can do about it
Fred: She doesn’t want to listen to me, she
listens to you more than anyone mahn… please talk to her for me, I really love
her
Me: No you don’t
Fred: Excuse me?
Me: You don’t love her
Fred: Of course I do!
Me: How can you be beating up the girl you
claim to love? A gentle and responsible man will never do that to a lady no
matter what she did to you
Fred: She told you that I beat her up?
Me: No she didn’t had to, the constant
bruises on her says it all
Fred: It could be something else that
happened to her, like an accident or…
Me: **Cuts-in** Spare me all that Fred,
Promise has never had a single scratch on her body for the past four years that
I’ve known her then she started having them constantly from when you both
started your relationship
Fred: The truth is I didn’t mean to be
hurting her, just that, that ugh, just some little misunderstanding that every
couple have and i….. Ok look I promise never to hurt her again
Me: Go tell that to her not me, I will
respect whatever decision she make
Fred: You and I know she’s not coming back
to me if you don’t interfere, and you also know we would never have dated if
not for you
Me: And that made her loses her trust and
respect that she has for me because I got her involved with a guy that hurt and
disrespects her
Fred: I’m sorry it’s all my fault, it won’t
happen again trust me, just give me a second chance
Me: Sorry mahn, I’m not gonna do that
mistake again. It’s her decision to make
Fred: You don’t want to help me because
you’ve been sleeping with her!
Mirabel: What?
I turned around and saw Mirabel standing at
the doorpost; it’s surprising because she came unannounced.
Mirabel: Fred, what was that you just said?
Mirabel: Fred, what was that you just said?
Fred: I think your boyfriend and my
girlfriend having an affair
Mirabel: Oh really?
Fred: Can’t you see their so-called
friendship? They’re having an affair right under our nose
Me: Mirabel…
Mirabel: **cuts-in** Wait, I’ll handle this
(gesturing her hand towards me) You Fred, we had the wrong impression towards
you
Fred: What are you talking about?
Mirabel: You’re not good for Promise and
I’m telling you now to go your way and never come back, it’s a clear warning
Fred: Warning for what? Why telling me I’m
not good for her? No, I’m going nowhere! You can’t tell me to leave. I love
Promise and will not let go of her just like that
Mirabel: You’re not getting it, do you? Are
you tired of being the son of a minister? That can be arranged and you’ll be
the son of nobody. Are you tired of running your night club? That can also be
arranged and the club will be shut down permanently. Or are you tired of living
a good life? That can be arranged and you can imagine what will happen next
Fred: Are you threatening me?
Mirabel: Not really, just telling you what
will happen the next time you show yourself to Promise or to anyone that’s
related to us one way or the other
Fred: Can we talk privately?
Mirabel: There’s nothing to talk with you,
just go away. We’ve forgiven you for the wrongs you did to Promise and our
trust that you betrayed, so just go now!
Fred: Why are you doing this? I really love
Promise; I sincerely apologize for my shortcomings, please give me another
chance and I’ll be the best man I can be for her
Mirabel: Like I said earlier, we’ve
forgiven you, but we’re not taking any chances no more
Fred: Please, I promise never to hurt her
in whatsoever way again
Mirabel: Get out of here Fred!
Fred: Plea….
Mirabel: Get out!!
Fred: Ok alright, I’ll leave… but, I will
advise you to watch those two closely; they have something hidden under the
radar
Mirabel: One more word from you and I
promise you’re not gonna like the outcome of it. Frank!
Frank: (from outside) Yes?
Mirabel: Come get this ingrate out from
here!
Frank walked in with Jummy and two mobile
policemen; they wanted to drag him out, but he behaved himself and told them
not to touch him that he’ll leave and he left.
***Chaiiiiii, see power between President's
daughter and minister's son.
