…..Hugging each other like two love birds and he handed you a fancy bag.
I stood wide-eyed in astonishmentand speechless.
"Speak! as he make haste to unleash his anger on me he then released a tight slap on my right cheeks
As I stood mute I could hear a sound of a bell ringing in my ears,
stars twinkling in my eyes and streams of tears flowing through my eyes.
"I…I… just before I could find a suitable explanation to give to Kennedy Priscilla came in to my defense as she threw a daring question to him
" How dare you, why would you treat her this way, is a birthday gift a sin, or, is a hug a crime? ….
It was just a hug, an innocent hug for crying out loud,
" perhaps, she might have hugged him out of excitement, or, in appreciation for the gift he bought for her".
On seeing Priscilla fearlessly opposing Kennedy;
Mum also intervened for me and made a threat to take up the case to the legal authorities if he dare batters me again
This time you don't need me to tell you of what Kennedy is up to, if he will provoke the angry women the more, or
give it up on their wish.
"I will spare you'.
"But, believe me, I will never spare Tony".
He said as he angrily worked out on us like a wounded Tiger with his ego already trampled upon by mum and Priscilla.
I was at the balcony reading my novel when I heard my phone ringing, I quickly rushed to the table to get my phone and just as checked to know who my callers is, I saw the name (my sweet) of course, that is Tony
I was super excited with smiles flashing uncontrollably on my face
But do you know what? I was disappointed when the sweet voice of my love didn't sound as sweet as it used to be
This time it sounded like one whom the world has poured it's frustration on
With a confused voice, Tony said: what are we going to do?? Throwing a confusing question at me.
"Kennedy sent a threat to me to stay away from you else he will kill me" Tony sadly said.
My heart skipped as I was left in total confusion with rivers of tears streaming down from my eyes,
I quickly managed to bounce back to my senses
Because, I needed to give my man a word of hope and courage to be strong in order to face and conquer the battle ahead of us.
"Do you love me, do you still want this relationship?" I threw this question back to Tony.
"Yes I do, else there won't be a need for this call in the first place" Tony said.
"Then,
stand by me, fight with me, and don't let me down,
I promise I will never let go of what we share, and I will never let go of you. "YOU AREMY DESTINY" ensuring Tony that no one can ever separate us.
Tony and I made plans to see but this time it wasn't easy at all, do you know why?....
Kennedy has ordered his boys to keep a close watch on me and to notify him whenever Tony is coming in to town,
because he knows we will surely meet,
and Kennedy doesn't want that to happen .
He seized my cell phone so I couldn't be able to communicate with Tony
but I was determined to fight this through to the end,
But, if only the love of my life can strongly stand by me without giving up on us.
It was an unlucky Tuesday noon and I couldn't see nor hear from Tony,
Yes, Cynthia, she can be of help, I need to quickly go see her,
I came up with a plan to make use of Cynthia's phone to call him
Without wasting time,
after so much effort,
I managed to sneak out of the house to go see cynthia in her office so she could assist me with her cell phone so that I could reach out to Tony,
" Hi Cynthia , I salute
She couldn't hide her joy at the sight of me cause it's been long we both met
She gave me a big hug and of course she could see the sad look I was wearing all over
and she didn't need a soothsayer to tell her it's about my relationship with Tony.
"Cynthia please, can you assist me with your cell phone? I want to call Tony and know how life has been with him and so he can also know my predicament,
Probably, we can make a plan and make a new move.
Here, take it.
Cynthia said, handing me her white portable cellphone .
With so much excitement as I stretched out my right hand to collect it from her, Kennedy showed up....
