JOSY’S POV
🤦😏🤷
Still acting innocent..What do you mean, what are you trying to say, have I had any dealings with you or do you think that every man in this world is a rãpist and thugs? Just be sensible girl! Ben blurted out
Oh! What a gentle perfect man you are, Now listen very careful Mr, lemme tell you the lay down details of what you said in five stars hotel bar on Wednesday last two months when you came there to drink with this friend of yours that ditched my sister when she needed him most and make her to almost wants to end her ownlife when her family rejected and chased her out of their house after they found out the condition you put her into, if not for the grace of God that kept her alive till today
Now listen and listen good, if you can vividly remember that I was the one that served you drinks on that very day, and I was attending to a customer when you said all manner of stuff to your friend about me, how you are gonna have your on share on me, mesmerize me and push me out just like a sl@t!
Josy was highly provoked as she narrates every details of what Ben said that day at the bar. So many times Ben tried to interrupt and stop her by pleading but she always shout on him to keep his fïlthy mouth shut which just like magic he always obeys each minute and kept shut
Josy talked until she was satisfied and then tag UC along for them to leave but Emma held unto UC pleading with her not to go just yet
Hey Mr! If you ever lay your fïlthy hands on me again, I will organize thugs to beãt the living day light out of you!
Coward! UC shouted on Emma who quickly withdraw his hands from UC
Please I am very sorry, I have realized my mistake, please UC forgive me, I still love you and will continue to love you no matter the odd. Please.
He pleaded and went down on his knees and continue pleading, Ben joined Emma and went on his knees too pleading for Josy’s forgiveness
They pleaded to the extent that UC can’t bear it anymore, Tears started pouring down her cheeks and she ran back to the house, Josy followed her
Emma and Ben wants to go after them but both women stopped them telling them not to go for the time been
While inside, UC cried like a baby, hugging the pillow and throwing tantrum as she weeps uncontrollable, Josy who was consoling her at a time joined her friend crying but she doesn’t know what prompted her to cry whether is the pity she felt for her friend or if it is her case with her rescuer that brought tears to her eyes.
BEN ‘S POV
😟😱😥
I and Emma stood speechless and was very ashamed of ourselves, how on earth could I be so lousy in speech forgetting that walls have ears on that very day at the hotel bar.
I wasn’t under the influence of alcohol that’s the truth, I said everything with a clear head no doubt that she heard me because she was standing just a stone throw from our table that night.
I am so foølish because even Emma warned me to lower my voice that very day because she might hear us but I never listened to him at all, now this is the repercussion of a lousy talkative
I wiped the sweat that has formed on my face and glance a look at my friend Emma who was still kneeling down in tears despite the absence of UC. I felt pity for him because I now understand what true love is all about
My friend is a grown man and ready to make amends and take the responsibilities he abandoned years back no matter the course or consequences.
I went to him and try to pull him up and he hesitated but after much persuasions from me and the two women, he finally stood up wiping his tears like a toddler who was canned by his teacher for failing his assignment.
Let’s go Emma, I beckoned on him but he insisted that he is not going anywhere until UC forgives him.
This is very serious I thought to myself, only then did I began to believe him when he said that he has never falling in love with any other woman after the separation with UC his love.
The younger woman went inside the house and brought a chair for us under the instruction of the older woman.
We both sat down and the woman also sat down adjacent to us…. She cleared her throat and said
My sons, first of all you have to stop crying and be a man, I don’t know what happened in the past between you and my daughters but from the look of things, it appeared that you both really wronged them grievously.
Emma cuts in with tears…
Yes mama, I wronged UC so much, I hurt her terribly but I am ready to make amends, please help me and bring her to me.
His sobs gets in the way and makes him to stop talking then I started .
Yes NNE, I wronged her too, “I used her” because I don’t even know her name. I am so ashamed of my self that I feel like strangling my self to dêath right now. Please mama, help me and my friend here to get back the love of our lives and I promise on behalf of my friend that we will never make them cry ever again.
I was still talking when the younger woman cuts in…
Mama don’t mind them oo! Men are very wickêd and unpredictable, they say one thing and acts another thing, just don’t mind this crocodile tears they are shading here ooo!
Mama, now I know why both UC and Josy never wanted any dealings with men again, this is why they hāted men so much and always turned down the request of every man that comes their ways.
They have been hurt by these men here and it was too much for them to bear so they closed their hearts towards men, If I had known on time, I wouldn’t have welcomed you guys for the first time.
She lamented angrily as though she has sometime in life been a victim of heartbreak
Your right my daughter, the old woman said and fall back to the chair relaxing her old back there.
I swear mama, we have really changed for the better, Emma said and I added, yes mama, then we were just a little boys but now we are matured men that understands what love and sacrifice is all about. Please help us mama, I beg you Aunty.
After few seconds the old woman said, I will help you both under one condition
Mama, just say anything, we promise to do it irrespective of what it takes, I and Emma said almost in unison.
