***MR LECTURER S2***
Episode 26
‘’why?, why are you doing this?’’ Comfort slowly asked, tears quickly formed in her eyes as if I just slapped her. I was surprised by her sudden change of mood, but it didn’t change my mindset.
‘’I’m doing it because It’s the right thing to do. You are not my wife and I don’t love you. The sooner we separate is better for us all’’ I breathed fiercely.
‘’you mean even after giving you a son. You still don’t love me. Unbelievable’’ she gasped.
‘’I have arranged a very comfortable apartment for you. Every house equipment and things that will make you feel at home has been provided as well. By tomorrow I will check out the place for the last time to make sure everything is in order. You have nothing to worry about” I said softly. She drew back and shook her head.
‘’you really want our son to grow up without his father. You want him to grow outside your protection. You want me to raise him all by myself. I won’t allow that. God forbid’’ she hissed and ran out of the room.
I silently watched her leave, saying nothing to stop her. I equally couldn’t continue with the lecture note I earlier was about preparing, instead I went over to my bed and slept off.

By 2pm the next day, Henry and I went over to the cute apartment I got for Comfort to check it out all over again. Henry really did a nice job in setting up the apartment for me. He simply saved me a lot of stress because the payment, paperwork, furnishing and every other thing was done by him. All I did was just to pay in the needed money to his bank account.
‘’so you see, everything is just as you wanted. The kitchen, rooms and electronics. You really care for this girl to spend so much for her’’ He said as we inspected the apartment. I smiled and shook my head.
‘’yea I do care because I’m very much responsible for all she’s passing through. But seriously all the girl wants is just to be with me and I really don’t know how to move her to this new house without applying force. She nearly fought me last night when i told her about it’’ I said slowly. Henry laughed.
‘’it’s time you show your strength as a man. Without it, you will never be free from that girl. She’s just blackmailing your emotions’’ he advised me. I smiled to myself.

As I had dinner with my mother much later in the evening, I battled with my mind on how to move Comfort out of my house. Just like Henry advised, it was time to act like a man but I really was scared of using force on the d–n girl who was so bent on resisting my plans for her. It really was on the tip of my tongue to mention my fears to my mother but I just couldn’t get myself to do it.
‘’you really should take a good look at your child. His color is growing more pale and I hope you noticed he cried all through last night. Today Comfort prevented me from carrying him. She came up with excuses each time I tried’’ my mum said to me, interrupting my thoughts, but I wasn’t interested in what she said.
‘’mum please just leave comfort and her baby alone. They will be leaving my house by tomorrow or next. Just relax okay.’’ I said with lack of interest, annoying the old woman who instantly got up with great anger.
‘’then why did you invite me to your house when you won’t even listen to me’’ she barked and left the dinning room.

Two hours later, Comfort walked into my room as I was putting on my night wear. She smiled, drew close and held me.
‘’I came to tell you that I have accepted to leave your house’’ she announced softly, shocking me with her words.
‘’what?, you mean you are going to move to the new apartment without a fight?’’ I asked with joy. She nodded and held my face, caressing my cheeks.
‘’I love you much more than you can ever imagine. I can even sacrifice my life to make you happy. Have I ever denied you anything?, just try to think’’ she muttered while I swallowed hard, touched by her words.
‘’unlike your wife, I don’t care about my happiness. I don’t care about anything but you. I just wish things were different. I just wish there is a contest that can show between me and Jessica who loves you the most. Yes I’m leaving, and I’m doing it out of love’’ she breathed, drew down my face and kissed me softly. It was such a wondrous kiss…
” i believe we will end up together in future. No matter the obstacle, love wins in the end” she said with great certainty.
There wasn’t any doubt she meant every word.
