***MR LECTURER S2***
Episode 16
“you are happy now, aren’t you?” i shouted at Comfort who quickly got out of the car and approached me, looking innocent. I sighed, shook my head and went back to my apartment to think of my life.
As i sat in my sitting room, deeply shaken and sad, Comfort came forward and sat beside me.
“i’m sorry for everything. I never intended for things to end this way” she apologized softly. I kept quiet, ignoring her. She smiled, grabbed my right hand and caressed it softly.
“i’m ready to help you get your job back. Forget the bride price, forget about the conditions i gave you. Just tell me what to do and i will gladly do it” she suddenly proposed, gaining my attention instantly. I looked up at her and stared into her eyes with disbelief. She nodded and smiled.
“just tell me what to do and i will do it” she affirmed seriously, leaving a cool smile on my face. I never knew when i hugged her strongly.
“oh thank you” i muttered with a silent whisper.

By 7pm that same day, i dragged myself to my father in law’s house, in order to see Jessica and try settling things with her. It definitely was something i had to do. Of course I couldn’t afford letting her travel to the capital city with a bad mind.
After waiting for some seconds in the living room. Jessica showed up looking very gloomy and dull. My heart pounded fast as i saw her. I shifted uneasily, breathing deeply.
“so why are you here?” she asked rudely, standing before me with both hands on her waist.
“i came to explain myself” i breathed nervously, standing up.
“i thought you did that when we met in the afternoon?. Moreover mum also told me every word you said to her. Or are you here to change your statement?” she asked coldly.
“not at all my love. I’m just confused. I don’t know what else to say or do to turn things around for good. You misinterpreted everything. You do know I love you very much. I really can’t believe you still feel that i can start another relationship with Comfort after all she did to us?. I’m just a man with a rope tied round his neck. I’m not happy with myself. Please try and understand” i begged desperately.
“seriously i didn’t understand a word of what you just said. Good night, i have a long trip to make tomorrow” she said coldly, turned to head back to her room. I quickly held her back.
“Comfort equally offered to help me get back my job without any conditions. She said i should forget about the bride price and other conditions she gave me” i suddenly announced, thinking the news would make her at least happy and relieved but instead my poor wife turned with a frown.
“oh yes, of course she won’t need the conditions again. She’s already living with you and that’s her dream all along” she hissed, eyed me and fell as she made to take a step back to her room.
She instantly screamed with pain, holding her stomach and breathing deeply like someone on the verge of losing her breathe which left me totally scared.
Her mother instantly rushed in with a look of terror on her face…..
