SISTER ADURAGBEMI
Part 19
By Authoress Rhoda.
“Lanre!! Who did you just call your sweetheart? Who???” Sade asked with her eyes full of rage and mouth fully ready to swallow him up.
Lanre did as if he didn’t hear her. Just his silence was killing her.
In a twinkle of an eye, her hands travelled to his tie then settled on his neck.
“If you don’t tell me who that lady is to you, I will make sure I kill you with my bare hands. Talk now or die!!” She threatened.
“She is my sister!!!!!”Lanre cried out.
****
Of a truth, Lanre loved ADURAGBEMI, but his heart was broken beyond measures when her sister told him Adura was seeing another man.
Despite that, the love for her was still intact. He had forgiven her, but her sister kept on complicating issues, he had no choice than to move on, although it was one of the toughest decisions he had ever made
Also, he moved on because of the fear of his parents. His mum in particular will never allow him to be married to a woman with disability.
After he broke up with Adura, he fell in love with Clara. Clara had everything that could ever turn the head of a man. She has a stunning beauty and decent enough for Lanre. Funny enough, Clara had been having soft spot for Lanre, for a very long time.
The moment Lanre asked her out, she shouted “yes!”. Her joy knew no bound. She just couldn’t be jumping up and down in his presence, but as soon as she got home, she was jumping from her bed to the floor and from the floor to her chair and to her table…
She was so happy to the extent that she mistakenly jumped on her phone and broke the screen.
Her joy turned to sorrow. The screen of her phone was broken, and she didn’t have a dime on her to fix it.
The following day, she carried her sad face to school. Everyone knew something was wrong with her. Lanre noticed as well. After much pressure from Lanre, she later opened up.
“So, you mean your phone made you like this? How much is the screen? You are funny, babe.”Lanre said.
That day, they went together to fix the phone. Lanre foot the bill. From there, they went to a classic restaurant. Clara ate food she had never eaten before. Her stomach blessed her for satisfying it with sumptuous meal. She as well couldn’t thank Lanre enough for his unconditional love.
Meanwhile, Sade thought Lanre was her lover. On the other end, Lanre loved Clara even more than Sade.
Although, Lanre wasn’t having a thing for Sade, but decided to accept her out of pity. Sade desperately walked into his heart when Clara was already in the picture.
One thing about Sade was that she can perform brilliantly on bed. He turned Sade into s*x mate while his heart was for Clara.
For a very long time, he played the game of double dating perfectly, but that fateful morning, he couldn’t hide .
****
His phone buzzed when Sade was with him. Sade saw the name of the caller which was “sweetheart”. At first Lanre ignored the calls.
After 10 minutes, he excused himself, went to the restroom with his phone,
His phone buzzed again, this time, it rang silently.
Sade waited at the passage. Trying to fathom what transpired some minutes ago and also to eavesdrop.
” Hello sweetheart, how have you been? How was your night? I just can’t wait to see your beautiful face. I just can’t wait to devour your sumptuous meal. I will be coming today in the afternoon after class.Get ready for your jolly husband. I love you baby!” He said. Happiness found its way into his heart. He couldn’t help but smile to no one in particular. He just couldn’t wait to be with Clara. In fact, right there in the toilet, he was daydreaming. Dreaming of having Clara alone to himself.
Sade was fuming in anger! She felt like barging inside the toilet, but kept calm. She decided to wait patiently for him at the passage.
Immediately their eyes met, fear gripped Lanre. He knew she overheard his conversations.
Where the boldness came from was something Lanre couldn’t fathom. He walked away.
That infuriated Sade the more.
If not for God, Sade almost killed Lanre.
She couldn’t believe that the man she loved was cheating on her.
*****
After shouting “she is my sister”, She released him and sat on the bed, weeping profusely.
Lanre walked out of the house inorder to avoid drama and further interrogation.
From the way he was handled by a woman called Sade, he concluded in his mind that Sade can’t be his wife. He can’t marry a beast or terrorist. He can’t marry a woman that can claim his life out of anger.
It wasn’t as if Lanre couldn’t deal with her by giving her resounding dirty slaps that would cause her to be seeing double stars, but he wasn’t brought up like that.
The best thing he could at that condition inorder not to be pushed into the wall to reveal the beast she just formed, he walked away.
Well, immediately Lanre left, Sade followed him. Although, Lanre never knew that someone was following him.
The moment Lanre stepped into Clara’s apartment, she studied the area very well and returned back up. After some hours, she came up with a plan.
To be continued.
