MY TREASURE
Chapter 29

Chi opened her eyes,and she was shocked to her bones to see what was before her.....

She landed a sound slap on my left cheek and ran Inside,what wrong have I done to have bought a sparkling diamond earrings for her,I was confused,the guests were as surprised as I was over her reaction,the party was automatically over,friends started leaving one by one, leaving only family around,mom, Ada, Stan and his wife and Chi's younger sister...

What went wrong,I mean,what did I do,why would she hit me in public,I was asking no one in particular...

I am sorry for my sister's actions, please forgive her,I am sure she didn't get what she had expected that's why,her sister Nkechi had said...

What she had expected,how,I don't understand,was she supposed to know the gift he wants to buy for her, Ada asked her in anger...

Well,I think,she was expecting an engagement ring,she had actually called me to inform me that Amadi was going to propose to her today,she invited her friends too,I believe she must have told them same thing,so she got disappointed when it wasn't an engagement ring after all but an earring, Nkechi said....

Whether or not she was expecting an engagement ring and got something else,it doesn't give her any reason whatsoever to lay her hands on my son, especially in public like that.....mother said furious.

I was so pissed,so because she expected an engagement ring and I didn't present one she had to do this,no no no,this is a red flag and I can not over look this,she has crossed the line,thank God she's showing her true colours now before marriage,a stone a man sees coming can not blind him,never,I said to my self...

Stan, let's go to your place,I said to him,I didn't want to face Chi,as I wouldn't know what I'd to to her....

Okay man,mummy,we shall take our leave now,Stan said to mother and I went with him to his place with his wife...  

Guy,am so sorry for that ohh,I mean,what came over Chi, women are just too difficult to be with and understand, Stan said....

Hello, there's a woman here, Chioma said,I understand what she went through, having hopes on something and then it doesn't happen,but then,she went too far,please AD,calm down,am sure you'd be fine.chioma added....

Man,I think I made a big mistake letting Ehi go,I mean, Ehi was sorry,she was,it was written all over her,her actions and everything,she was sorry,and it wasn't as if it was entirely her fault,her mother was the brain behind the deception,she only listened and obeyed her mother like every child would have done,I sent her away several times when she came begging,mother got her arrested,all for my sake,I made her sign the divorce paper even when I know i still loved her,I am just a fool,I tried to be with Chidera because she was same tribe,what what have I gotten,a bag of cabbage,full with Nasty attitude, Stan I want my Ehi back,I said in tears....

Come on man,I know how you feel,trust me I do,but please,you have to get hold of yourself,put yourself together, please go inside,take your bath and sleep,I am sure by morning you'd be better,Stan said as he walked me to the guest room....

I managed to have a bath, and fell on the bed, Ehi's thought was running through my head,,,I knew from the beginning I didn't love chi,I even told her,but I was hoping I'd gradually reciprocate her feeling of love with time,but her character hasn't been what I expected,my heart has always and still beat for Ehi,but how do I face her,we are officially divorced,I had so much to deal with that night,I didn't even know when I fell asleep......

I was woken the next morning by Stan,it was a Saturday and he wasn't going to work...

Stand up man, let's go for a work out, it's better than laying down there thinking and sobbing, Stan said,I didn't want to,but he wouldn't let me be,So I had to change into one of his easy wears and we went to a near by gym....

Now that you have slept and woken up,I hope you are better now,Stan asked...

I dey sick before,I had asked him....

I wouldn't know,last night you were talking so much,you talked about Ehi and Chi,so I just want to be sure you have made a decision...he said...

Stan,I have made a decision,and I wasn't talking trash yesterday,I remember all I said,and I meant every single word .I miss my wife,I think I took the whole thing too far,I should have giving her a second chance to make things right,I should have listened to her,I should haveeeeeeeee

It's okay man,calm down Stan interrupted me,you and Ehi has been officially divorced,you can no longer refer to her as you wife,you know,I asked you,if you were sure of your decision to divorce her,see, everyone makes mistake, especially in Ehi's case who was being influenced by her mother,I also know one of the reasons,if not the Main reason you considered Chi is because she's Igbo,see guy,been good or bad,or having a nice or ill character,has nothing to do with ones tribe, it's just a personal thing.,I really can't tell you what to do,the ball is in your court and you should kick it to any direction you feel is better, Stan said...

We continued with our Walk out and returned home in two hours.....

We freshened up,had something to eat and was ready to go home,since I didn't come in my car, Stan had to drive me home....

Getting home to the living room,we saw Chi kneeling before mother apologizing....

What's going on here,I had asked no one in particular..

Ask her, she's has been begging here since,and I asked her if I was the one she had slapped...

Chi quickly came to me,and knelt,

 NKEMMMMMMMMMM,

hold it there,I interrupted her,my name is Amadi...

AD I am sorry,I didn't know what got into me,I am sorry, please forgive me,it would not happen again,she pleaded....

Of course it won't happen again, because you see this thing between us, it's over,we are done,I said....

AD please don't talk like that, please,I am sorry,I love you so much, please forgive me,she pleaded...

My dear,we were better as friends,,, can't you see that the whole thing wasn't working,it hasn't been working,last night show was just the last straw,it wasn't a perfect one before last night, please,stop this,we are done,I said....

AD I'd be better, I'd act right and behave better now, please give me another Chance,I love you,she said....

Am sorry, Chi, let's continue being friends and drop this relationship issue,we aren't compactable,please understand,I said and walked inside my room, Stan was about walking in with him,when she held him to beg me for her,I had left them there and shut my door from inside... 

I took my phone,and thankfully Ehi's number was still saved in it,I called it,but it was switched off,,I tried it all through the day but it wasn't reachable,I continued the next day,and the day after,and the day after,but it wasn't connecting,I couldn't find iye nor Osas number in my phone,I didn't know where she would be,I needed to see her,I remembered she had said she'd be traveling back to Benin If the job interview she went for didn't pull through the day she signed the divorce paper,I decided to go to benin.....

Together with Stan,we drove to Benin the next weekend,we arrived the compound they were living when we came for our traditional marriage,and we were told that,they no longer lived there, that the mother and son had relocated to Lagos when Ehi got married,and had since then not been seen in the compound.....

I was going mad,I didn't know where Ehi was, could she be in Lagos,we had no choice than to return to Lagos,I kept trying her number hoping and believing that one day it will connect....

Chidera wouldn't stop calling to beg,she was even coming to the office almost on daily basis to apologize,and it was beginning to make me angry...

One evening, after work,I was driving home,when I saw Collins,he was a secondary school class mate,we haven't seen each other since we left high school,,,he seems to have issue with his car,I pulled over and went to him, Collins,I called,Amadi he called back upon seeing me,we hugged,shook hands and exchanged pleasantries....

Guy it's been so many years oh,I heard you were in the states some time ago,I said....

That's true,but I have been around almost two years now,dad passed,and there are so many responsibility on ground that needs my attention,so I am still here,he said....

Sorry man,good to see you again,I said...

So what's wrong with your car,I asked...

Guy I don't know oh,it just stopped,I have called my mechanic though and he's on his way,he said...

No problem, I'd just wait for him to come,so we can go somewhere and relax,it's been a while,I said....

That would be nice,oh he's here, Collins said pointing to a guy walking towards us,,

The mechanic did some observation,and told Collins the car would be ready the next day,as he needed time to do a perfect work, Collins gave him the keys and we drove in my car to a bar,we had some plates of pepper soup and took some liquor,we talked about so many things,soon it was late,and we needed to retire for the day....

Since Collins car was bad,I decided to drive him home, and also use the opportunity to know where he lived....

It was a big and beautiful house,well furnished with a touch of classiness,I was impressed at the designs,let me show you round, Collins said....

Oh I don't mind,we went round the house,and we got to his bedroom, looking very beautiful and nice,then I turned and couldn't believe the beautiful portrait that was placed by his bed, who's this,I asked him....

Oh, that's the love of my life,he said smiling...
