Episode 1
BRENDA DAVIS was very worried. Ever since
she received the call from Adam, that is. She
was hoping the reason for his sounding
strange on the phone would not be what she
was already suspecting. She could say that
she was properly experienced in matters
concerning relationships and therefore could
tell when a guy was getting fed up with a
relationship. But right now, she didn‟t want to
believe her instincts. She couldn‟t stand the
thought of losing Adam now. Her world would
shatter. In fact, she won‟t be able to survive it
this time around. Adam Walter had called her
earlier in the day, telling her that he would like
to discuss something important with her. He
had gone ahead to tell her that the discussion
would be for her own good, hence she must
come to his house as soon as possible.
Sitting on a stool in front of the two-bedroom
apartment, which she shared with her friend
Jane, Brenda was oblivious of the cool and
beautiful atmosphere the evening created. She
was remembering and analyzing Adam‟s
behavior towards her in the past few weeks,
which was obviously the reason for her
suspicion.
He had deliberately avoided her, giving her
flimsy excuses.
for not being around as often as before.
Whenever they were together, he would seem
absent-minded and uninterested in her
concerns. If she sought his opinion concerning
any issue, he would laconically answer as if he
was being bothered. Although Brenda
suspected that Adam was fed up with the
relationship and could be calling it off
soonest, she still hoped her suspicion was
wrong. She wanted to make herself believe
that something else could be the problem;
something she may not have guessed in the
past. She looked at her wristwatch. It was
almost 5:00 p.m. She must prepare for the
meeting with Adam. Moreover, Jane would
soon be back from work, and she wouldn‟t like
her roommate to meet her sitting around and
looking all gloomy.
She stood up and gracefully walked into the
building. Going straight to her room, she took
off her clothes and prepared herself for a
shower. She was about to put on her bathrobe
when she caught a glimpse of her image in
the half-sized mirror on her dressing table. At
twenty-three, her youthfulness was radiating
like the sun. She was average in height and
light in complexion. The curves of her body
and its features were proportionate enough to
attract the opposite sex. “I am beautiful,” she
said to herself and tried to smile. Many people
had told her this in the past and she was very
much aware of it. She had a very charming
smile, which was strong enough to make any
man‟s heartbeat stop for some seconds. “I am
alright; why should anyone reject me?” Brenda
thought, running her hands down her body.
She knew she had so many female qualities
that most girls didn‟t have. And one special
characteristic was her gentle nature; a kind of
peaceful aura that she carried with her
everywhere she went. Something that usually
encouraged most people to easily talk and
associate with her.
“But why are things not going my way? What
is it about me that turn men off after some
time with me?” she suddenly
whispered to herself after some deliberation.
„No!‟ she thought. Maybe she was getting it
all wrong. Maybe Adam had some other
personal problems and needs. She should be
thinking of how to help him instead of
suspecting his motive for wanting to see her.
Perhaps she was letting her experience with
men get into her present relationship with
Adam.
She hurriedly left the room and entered the
bathroom. She looked forward to seeing
Adam. She would be there for him, no matter
what she was going through. She won‟t let it
affect her blissful relationship. She must stop
being selfish. She mustn‟t keep him waiting.
Episode 2
Brenda met Adam Walter fourteen months ago
when she was in her final year at Star Gate
University, Lupe. She had gone to a nearby
restaurant with her best friend and classmate,
Jane Damascus, to share a treat together. It
was their first week as final year students and
Jane had suggested that they take themselves
out. Rosy Restaurant seemed the best choice
since it was nearby and affordable for them at
the time. Brenda had noticed Adam the
moment he walked into the restaurant. He was
a bit taller than her and good-looking. She
was quick to notice his neat sense of dressing
and his well-trimmed moustache and it all
appealed to her. Jane had noticed her friend‟s
eye movement and decided to follow them.
She immediately understood why her friend
had been distracted. But they quickly forgot
about Adam as soon as their orders were
served.
Brenda was just getting over her breakup with
Derek Brown and believed within her that she
wasn‟t ready to embrace the opposite sex
again, but when she looked up, the fine young
man was approaching them. “Oh my God. He
is coming towards us,” she quickly notified
Jane. And Jane, a skinny pretty girl, looking
back, could easily tell that he was attracted to
Brenda. “Hi, girls!” he greeted, in a gentle but
masculine voice. His eyes were fixed on
Brenda. “Hello,” Brenda briefly replied. She
was the more polite of the two. “I hope you
girls won‟t mind if I lunch with you?” Although
it was meant to be a general question, Brenda
could sense that it was directed at her. “As a
matter of fact, we‟d really prefer it if we
lunched alone.
This is a special occasion and it is just for the
two of us,” she politely answered. Adam didn‟t
seem to be listening; he was already making
himself comfortable on an empty chair by
their table. It was obvious that he wasn‟t
going to allow himself to be turned off by her
words. “I won‟t be fair to you girls and even to
myself if I allow you to lunch alone. Don‟t
worry, I promise to be a perfect gentleman.”
Brenda and Jane were short of words. They
had no choice but to allow him to stay; they
remained silent and tried to anticipate his
next move. “I am Adam Walter; please may I
get to know your names?” he asked,
concentrating on Brenda. Brenda didn‟t want
to open up at first. She really wanted to keep
off men. She looked at Jane and saw a look
of approval on her face. Hence, she reluctantly
answered, “I am Brenda and this is my best
friend, Jane.”
“Hello Jane.” He turned his attention to Jane.
“I am really sorry for barging into your special
occasion.
I don‟t intend to spoil it, rather I will add more
flavor to it. What are you girls celebrating?”
“We are celebrating our first semester as final
year students,” replied Jane. “Oh, that‟s cool.
Congratulations, girls.” “Thank you,” they both
responded. “Brenda. What a name.” This
statement caught Brenda‟s attention. “What is
wrong with the name?” “I like it. I like you
also. I will also like to be your friend,” he
confidently replied. And all through lunch that
day, Brenda had tried to politely turn him
down, but he didn‟t allow her to drive home
her point. Jane was at the other end, giving
her signs of encouragement. It was clear that
Jane approved of him, and that was the
beginning of a blissful relationship between
Adam and Brenda. He never relented in
showing her the best side of him.
He was 26 years and had just gotten a job
with a communication company. He used all
the resources within his reach to shower her
with gifts. He made sure he called her every
night to tell her sweet words that would nudge
her to sleep. At first, Brenda wasn‟t confident
that he was for real, but his persistent
attention towards her did a lot to convince
her. After four months, Brenda believed that
she had finally found for herself the right man
to date. Brenda was the type of girl who, at
any slightly perceived interest from the
opposite sex, quickly formed an emotional
attachment, which would eventually be
difficult for her to break. She felt like she was
on the top of the world as Adam continued to
prove his love for her as days turned into
weeks and weeks into months. She gave him
her heart. She believed in him and in the
future. He proved to her that he was capable
of doing all the good things, which she‟d
initially thought he could do. He was exciting
to be with, strong, caring and very handsome.
