MY DAUGHTER MY WIFE
Episode 23
The figure at the door walked closer and closer to me, until it was stooping over me, and I had to close.my eyes
“Andy!” I heard her call me sharply and my head began to spin as I tried to pitch the voice with the figure.
The voice was unmistakably hers, but the body kept changing to different things when I tried to focus my gaze to see her face.
I would have told her my worries, because I felt whoever the person standing in front of me was, it wouldn’t be Sola, but she was making me feel she was up to no good.
No! Sola would certainly be kissing Chuks and telling him how much he meant to her.
I tried to speak to her, but tears began to run through my face. My throat was too dry to talk, so I lifted my bottle again, but she brushed it off my hand in annoyance.
“What the hêll is wrong with you Andy? You sit here drinking yourself to deãth for the sake of someone who’s happy with the guy she has chosen for herself.
“If this isn’t fōōlishness,I wonder what is! But how can someone as heavily endowed with intelligence and good looks be this miserable?” she asked in annoyance.
“Look, whoever you are, I want you to please get out of my sight. You are in no position to decide when I’m fōōlish or wise.
“I didn’t choose to love her. I didn’t tell my heart to pànt after her, but here I am, mourning her departure from my life, while she stays besides him forever.
“I am mourning because I know I will never love anyone else again, and it hurts so bãdly that I had to stay with my eyes wide open, until she got whisked away. My life will never be the same again” I said
“Oh really, so for the sake of someone so undeserving, someone who doesn’t give a rat àrse about you, you’re going to drink yourself to the grave, the fact that you have someone who loves you so dearly, she no longer has reservations, notwithstanding?” she asked me.
“I can see clearly that you’re deaf! I do not want another, and I do not want to love and be loved by another.
“It is her I want, and now, she is gone forever, don’t you understand?” I asked looking at the figure in ãnger.
“So much for love! This is why I chose to stay with my guards on, to shield my heart from this húrtful emotion called love.
“Back then, I was running away because I felt it was the right thing to do, considering the fact that you were married.
“And now, even after she left you, she still has this much control over you. So much that you chose to throw me away to any male specie available
“All of these because you have chosen to stay perpetually tied to the lûst over her body and not consider other things that sshould matter to reasonable people.
“But Andy, does it not count for a thing that I love you this much? Doesn’t it matter to you that I love you too much to be able to keep my composure?” she asked me.
“I’m sorry Miss, but I love someone else. I love her like I have never loved anyone, and I’m going to find her tonight after he leaves her, and remind her of our first kiss.
“Yes! I have to go find her because I won’t be able to live on if she stays forever in the arms of that guy” I told her, and I almost felt pity for her as I saw her begin to cry.
I wanted to hug her and ask her to move on because she’ll certainly find someone that will love her as much as I love the woman of my dreams, but I couldn’t get up.
“Why does love hurt so bãdly. Why would you love me so much you had to go to the length of using her type of collagen and went as far as trying to mimic her voice, yet, my heart is beating just for her, even when she loves someone else?” I asked
“I don’t know Andy, but I’ll leave now. And I want you to know every step you take and every day you live, that Sola loves you with all her heart” she told me and made to go.
“How dare you mock me? Because I told you I do not want you but want just her, you have to mock me, telling me she loves me when she’s with another!
“So if you know Sola loves me so much, why are you professing love for me, when you know she’s the only one I love?” I asked the lady in annoyance.
“What are you talking about Andy? Are you sure you haven’t totally lost it?” she asked me
“You are the one who has lost it! You knew I was married to that girl that planned to ruin me, you also know that Sola loves me and I love her with my everything, and you still have the effrontery to try to confess love that I do not want from anyone!
“I have tried to be civil enough with you lady. Please leave at once. I want to be able to cry Sola’s total departure from my life, without any form of interference from anyone.
“And don’t you imagine that all these full breãsts and body you’re flaunting in front of me is enough to make me choose a woman ever again in life!
“I chose Sola for so many reasons, and even though I have fōōlishly asked my friend to go ahead to declare his intentions to her, I am going to make things right, when I have the chance to” I told her, and the dàredevil had her hand over her mouth for a while, looking at me with tears in her eyes.
Then she walked back to me, squatted in front of me, and said.
“You scared me you little punk. Don’t you ever put a drop of alcohòl in your mouth again. You made me imagine that the one you said you love so much is your ex wife”
I looked at her as she squatted in front of me, and it seemed like I was seeing Sola.
“Oh God, why is this girl messing with my head? Get off my face, you’re making me see my woman in you!” I told her.
“Perhaps, this would make you know it’s me” she said, then claimed my mouth with hers immediately.
“What is this? Why can’t I send this woman away? What if Sola walks in and finds her kissing me?
“No Andy, this girl sure feels good to kiss, almost as good as Sola, but it isn’t her” my head told me
“Still don’t recognize me? The touches doesn’t remind you of anything?” she asked me
“The kiss does feel good lady, but the reason I’m seeing her and feeling her is because she’s in my head.
“It is because I’m wishing Sola is here to kiss me. And believe me my dear, the days when my body controlled my head are over.
“I want Sola, and just her, so even if you try to kiss me like her, it won’t make any difference. There’s more to desiring someone than what her body can offer” I told her remembering Sola’s words.
And rather than getting offended or frowning in pains as she had been doing since, she smiled.
“And I told you that in front of my Chicago hotel room after you kissed me crãzy in the club because I believe it to be true.
“I told you on the day we returned from Chicago to run home to your wife or I would kiss you, and now that you have no wife, but the alcoh0l won’t let you see me, I’m going to kiss you, until I’ve been able to kiss away the effect” she told me before she descended on me with a ferocity I can’t explain.
She was kissing me, but she had tears in her eyes. She was holding my face while she kissed me, but her hands were shaking.
“Did she just tell me of the kiss in Chicago? Wait a minute, this is Sola!” I thought, realization hitting me as I looked at her again.
“Sola! My Sola!! Oh my God, this is you!!!” I screàmed, pulled her back to me and made my move.
It was now my turn to kiss her. Because when she kissed me earlier, I was afraid of responding to the kisses of a stranger and getting foòled by a kiss yet again.
But now that I saw her, now that I noticed it was no other but my Sola, my whole body was quivering and ready to kiss her and show her the much I haven’t said.
