Episode 38
Must she always cry at every little thing? I’m the
one that was fooled. I’m the one that his so-called
girlfriend cheated on. I’m the one that is supposed
to be crying not her.
“Must you cry about everything?” I asked. “Ok, fine
just stop. I have forgiven you, just stop crying”
I thought that saying this will placate her but
instead she started crying the more, throwing my
hand around her neck, I drew her closer and hugged
her. My anger had already varnished and now I’m
consoling the person that was supposed to be
consoling me.
“It is ok now, just stop”
“I am sorry, I didn’t want you to get hurt, I am
sorry” she sobbed.
“It is ok, I know you did it for me ok?” I said and
rocked her.
I held her till she stopped crying. We stayed through
the night hardly saying a word to each other. In the
morning, we prepared for school and left. Though I
wanted to forget the whole incident but a part of
me wanted to see Oge. I wanted to pour out my
anger on her. I just wanted to see her and tell her
some hurtful things. I called her after my lectures
and told her to meet me at the quadrangle around
my department.
I sat on the pavement, pressing my phone and
waiting for Oge. About twenty minutes later, she
came and sat beside me.
“Good evening, what’s up?” she greeted.
“I’m good. How are you?”
“I’m fine, just there”
“You had lectures today?” I asked trying to ease the
anger building up inside me.
“Yea, just one. Are you ok?”
“Yes I’m fine”
“Is he the guy you are still with?” I asked her. I
know that was the least of the things she was
expecting me to ask.
“Hmmmm? Who?” she asked confused.
“The guy you were straffing behind my back in first
year, or rather the guy you were straffing me behind
his back”
“Oh! I guess she has told you already. I expected
that a long time ago” she replied.
“That is not the answer to my question”
“No, I’m not with him anymore. We ended things a
long time ago”
“Why did you do that? You should have told me that
you were tired of me instead of fooling me”
“Purity, I didn’t fool you. I feel bad for what I did
but I don’t regret it. And just for the records, you
pushed me into it”
“You gotta be kidding me. How did I push you into
it? I loved you with my life then, how could you say
that I pushed you into cheating on me?”
“See Purity, we have to stop this, whatever
happened between us is way back. We shouldn’t
dig up buried issues. We were definitely very
immature then. Let’s just try and make things right
from now onwards”
“No tell me, how did I push you into having affairs
behind my back?”
“You pushed me away when you started giving all
your attention to Precious. You pushed me away
when you started ‘doing’ her behind my back. You
pushed me away when she started doing what I was
supposed to be doing for you and you never
objected. Purity I’m a girl. I have feelings. You were
my boyfriend and not hers. Even when I
complained, you never heeded my complaints”
“I never ‘did’ Precious when we were together. She
knew you were my girlfriend and she even had a
boyfriend then. So this was the reason you started
doing another guy, to get back at me?”
“It wasn’t to get back at you. I was lonely and
depressed. You stopped giving me attention. The
guy was always there for me. But even at that I still
cared about you”
“I guess that is supposed to atone for what you
did?”
“No but ………..it is not like I was always doing the
guy, it happened just once. I severed ties with him
when Precious made me end things with you”
“You know what? The truth is that I wanted you to
deny this. I was expecting you to tell me that it was
a frame up. Yes it’s the past but knowing it now
hurts. I wanted you to tell me something different
despite the fact that I already know the truth”
“That is something I swore not to do if this ever
comes out. I’m sorry, I can’t deny it or lie to you
about it”
“It’s ok. You don’t have to be sorry. When she told
me everything I felt bad and hurt. I had many hurtful
things I want to say to you, but now I guess I can’t
even say them anymore”
“Purity I’m very sorry, maybe you should say them.
It might make you feel better”
I don’t know why but all of a sudden, tears started
gathering in my eyes. I wanted to talk but couldn’t
find my voice. The tears were coming so quick that
I had to raise my head to avoid tearing down. That
was the least reaction I expected from myself that
moment. I sniffed and looked away not wanting to
disappoint myself anymore.
I wanted to wrap things up with her immediately
and leave but my emotions were disappointing me.
I cleared my throat twice before I found my voice.
“I guess this is where we call it quits properly. I
have always felt this guilt thinking that I ended what
we had then, but knowing that it was you that
dumped my sorry a*s now makes me feel
better………..”
“Purity listen to me” she said interrupting me
halfway. “Ever since that happened I have always
wanted to make things right since we parted. My
heart always skip each time I see your call. I have
always wanted to come back and tell you the truth
but I guess I never found the courage to not until
recently. I want to make things right between us if
you would allow me but if not, then I guess she has
won again and for the last time”
Before she could finish what she was saying tears
were already streaming down my eyes. I couldn’t
believe myself for reacting that way.
“Please let’s not see each other again” I said and
hurried away before she could say another word.
Our emotions can really run out of our control
sometimes. When I got home, I ate from the left
over of the food Precious prepared the previous
day. It was still early to sleep around 6pm but I
didn’t mind. I switched off my phone and slept off.
