MY TREASURE
Chapter 6

...She was surprised to see me,I looked inside and was even more surprised, it was Stan,,,the shock was so evident and it was written boldly on my face..

....I,I,I, didn't know you were you coming around, Ehi said,I didn't reply her,I was just looking at her in the eye,I had so many questions to ask her but my voice betrayed me...

AD,how long have you been there, Stan asked stuttering,he obviously had noticed my mood..

Long enough to realize the kind of friend you are,long enough to hear your love sermon,I said..

AD, please let me explain,see it's not what you think,I can explainnnnnnn, of course it's not what I think, it's what I heard,and to think I call you my brother,I said, betrayed by some tear drops...

What's going on here AD,if whatever you think you heard is the case, what's the big deal, can't I have a lover,I mean,the fact that you are helping my family and I doesn't mean I can't get involved in a romantic relationship,I am an adult for heaven's sake, except there's something you are not telling me, Ehi said in anger....

I am not trying to control your life, neither do you owe me any explanation regarding your relationship,but Stan is a betrayal,and a back stabber,he knows that I love you with every breath in me,Ehi,I fell helplessly in love with you the very first day I set my eyes on you,I was only waiting for the perfect opportunity and time to make my intentions known,but it's obvious I came too late and worse, betrayed by someone I call a brother,I said with pains in my heart and tears in my eyes,I turned and rushed to my car,I could see both of them trying to stop me, I ignored and drove off in haste.

I still don't know how I managed to drive that day without getting involved in an accident,I was not myself,It as though I was loosing my mind,I knew I didn't want to see Stan,cause I wasn't sure what I'd do to him, ken's place was no option either,as Stan would definitely check up on me there..I decided to lodge in an hotel,at least till I was able to comprehend the whole thing......

How could Stan had done this,I cried my eyes out like a baby,,I have never been in love,the very first lady I fell in love with had to end up with my friend,how unlucky can that be,,,

But it was all your fault,you had several opportunity to tell her how much she meant to you but you didn't, now you have no one but yourself to blame,I thought within,,I stayed in there all day,I didn't even realize it was night and I hadn't eaten, that's how much I was hurt...

Stan tried calling several times and I had to block his number, Ehi tried calling too,but I didn't pick up either,I was ashamed of myself,I made my intentions known but wasn't accepted,I didn't even know what to say to her,ken called too,I wasn't just in the mood to speak to anyone,I had to put off my phone.

I managed to come out of the hotel to have dinner,thank God I was with my automated teller machine card,I made some withdrawal within the hotel and ordered a plate of food,the food was brought,but I had too much on my mind I could barely eat,sir,hello sir,a beautiful young lady stood in my front,I didn't know I had slept on the food...

You haven't touched your food sir,she said..

Who are you,I asked her...

I am Chioma,a waitress,she said....

I Know you are worried about your money,how much is everything here,I asked her...

But sir,you didn't even touch the food,she said.  

I am done, how much is my bill young girl,I asked angrily....

Well,my mother always told me never to disrespect a meal,that no matter what I am going through,I shouldn't decline a meal since the food hadn't offended me in anyway,in thesame way sir,I don't think this food had offended you in any way that you want it to go to waste,,she said smiling.

But her smile was getting me angry,I gave a long hiss and angrily walked away to my room,I was able to catch some sleep later after much thinking and wallowing in self pity...

I woke up quite late,at about past 9am,,I was really hungry,Indeed one can't cheat nature,the sleep helped alot,I was better,it's one of those things in life,I am not the first to be betrayed by a friend,and certainly not going to be the last,I had my bath and freshened up,I requested for a toothbrush from the hotel staff,and I was given one...

I went to the food section and requested for a plate of Jollof rice,it was brought to me,when I was about eating,I realized I didn't pay for the plate of food I ordered the previous day,then I remembered the girl Chioma...

Hello, please excuse me,I called the lady that had brought me the food, please I would like to see the girl that served me food last night,her name is Chioma,I said...

Oh Chioma,she has gone home, she's on night shift, she'd be here in the evening, she had said,oh really, thank you very much,I said and continued eating... 

I wanted to go back home and deal with the situation once and for all,even though Stan had betrayed the trust I have for him,but I wouldn't want to be an obstacle to their love, Ehi has made her decision after all,but I decided to stay back because of Chioma,I was rude to her,and she didn't deserve that.....

I tried to take my mind off things,i went to the relaxation section, luckily the hotel had a small library,I took two novels to keep myself busy...

At about 7pm, Chioma came in,she greeted and was about walking towards the reception,,I called her, Chioma,I am so sorry about yesterday,I wasn't in the right frame of mind, please pardon my stupidity,it was just a transferred aggression,I pleaded....

Oh not to worry sir, perhaps I was too forward too,she replied and was about going inside, please,how much was the money for yesterday meal,asked...

Don't bother sir,I sort that already,she said ...

You what,no no no,I am not going to allow that, please how much is it,I asked again....

Okay sir,if you insist, it's #3700 she said...

Okay then,I deepened my hand into my pocket and gave her six thousand Naria, asking her to keep the change,, thanks so much for all you did yesterday,my head was going through alot, I am not usually like that,and trust me,I am going to do as your mother always say,I would try not to disrespect my meal anymore,I said smiling....
Thank you very much sir,she said smiling too.

I was ready to go home,it was 8pm, getting to the reception, I saw Chioma,and I thanked her once again before heading out...

Was I really ready to face Stan,can I even continue to live on the same house with Stan after everything,too many thoughts,but I decided to take it one step at a time...

I drove into the compound,and saw one of the shoes I had bought for Ehi, apparently she was inside with Stan,oh heaven's,I almost died again,but I was home already and had to go in...they obviously had heard my car sound,I was about hitting the door bell when Stan opened the door, where have you been man, we've all been worried about you, Stan said,but I ignored him and walked inside, getting to the living room I saw Ehi,I was about walking pass her when she held my arm, what's wrong with this one,I thought within...

When you said you loved me yesterday,did you mean it,she asked....

I looked at her in the eye,what difference does it make,you belong to another already,I said .. 

When you said you loved me yesterday,did you mean it,she asked again softly, looking very serious...

I turned and face her fully,I have never,never been more serious in my whole life,I meant every word I said,I love you more than i Iove myself,from the first time I saw you at ken's,I wanted you to be mine,I was only wanting for the right time to say it,iiiiiiiiii,shuuuuuuuu,she interrupted me,I love you too,she said....

 I thought I was hearing things, untill she repeated her self...

I love you too.......
