Her question, was more like an accusation to Amanda, she felt like she was accusing her, and in other words, she was asking her a question.
Amanda decided to take the other part of it. She took it to be a question, so she answered, looking straight into her eyes, as if that would make her beleived her."I would never cheat on your brother, it is not in my nature, I cannot explain this, and I am so ashamed, to even think about it or talk about it.Which is why I need your help, I don't know how this is made possible. I would never have believed, this was possible.I am well aware that I haven't had sextual intercourse with your brother and I couldn't have it with anyone.But how it happened now, that I am pregnant, is a mystery to me, I need you to help me, please". She was begging now, but her tears kept streaming down.Sonia understood that part, she had heard them, some night, arguing about sex but she had never thought her brother was being starved. She looked at Amanda and saw that she was really confused, but sincere, she could tell she wasn't telling lies, so she became interested."If you didn't sleep with my brother or anyone else, who then impregnated you? Sonia was asking the same question, on the lips of every one."That is the mystery question now. Sonia I swear on my son, I never cheated on your brother, and i even asked your brother if he raped me, but he said he would never do anything like that and right now, he is so angry.How am I supposed to unravel this mystery if he really didn't rape me?Sonia looked too calm and calculated which worried Amanda, she wanted her to get mad and walk away just like her brother, but surprisingly she was still there standing and listening to her."Do you remember going anywhere and blacking out or waking up on someone's bed half naked or something? Sonia asked, playing detective, she was trying to help her unravel the mystery, but all her questions, were answered without blinking." I have never slept outside this house before, how will I wake up on someone's bed, half naked, I have not even visited my parents and passed the night since I gotarried and became pregnant for junior, they were the ones, that came here". She explained further, hating the questions, she was asking, when she herself, knew all the answers.What she said was true, but Sonia was very eager to get to the root of the problem, she took another look at Amanda and just couldn't leave her, she needed to be encouraged and so she extended her hands to her to help her get up."Don't worry we will get to the root of all this". She said, as she drew her close to her and gave her a tight hug. That seem like what Amanda needed at that time.Amanda was relieved that someone at least believed her, and was willing to fight to figure the truth, Sonia disengaged from her hold and left the house as if going to get answers from her.PRESENT.Amanda was brought back to present as she heard Dave cough in his sleep.She tries to immediately wipe her tears, but she just could not stop herself, it was coming down profusely, she looked at him, and noticed that he was coughing, while his eyes are still closed.She wanted to hold him, and pacify him, to stop the cough, she wanted to even go get water for him to drink, but she felt too heavy, she was pregnant, with no one around to take responsibility, she could only sit there and cry.The cough was so serious, that he had to stand up, it felt like there was something tickling his throat. It was past midnight, and this was usually the time, he would wake up sometime, and make sweet love to her.That time, when he was sure, no one could hear them, but since she lost her son, and she stopped him from touching her, he rarely sleeps in the same room with her.Most times, after a heated argument, he would go to sleep in the sitting room, and the next day, she would try to make up with him, giving him reason, why she could not sleep with him.He opened his eyes wide, when he saw Amanda sobbing, he knew the reason. She had been like that for the past three month, she seemed sincere, that she doesn't know who the father of her baby is, she was really not going to bring the person to face him. If he didn't know, that Jesus, could not come back again, as a child, he would have thought, that his wife, was to be the next virgin Mary, but he as her husband, have also, not had any dream, where an Angel, would tell him, that he should take charge, and not get angry." I Am sorry I woke you Dave". She tried to talk, but he stopped her with a wave of his hand. He didn't want to look at her face, he was sure, they must be swollen from crying, and instead of her to tell him the truth, she was pretending, hoping he would fall for her pretence"You cry everyday, you make noise all the time, still the man who owns that bastard in your stomach have not surfaced.Very soon you will start to show, I mean really show, and people will start to notice, that you are pregnant, that is if they have not already started to notice. but trust me dear wife, I will be here to tell them that I am not the father, and I do not know you.Dave was denying her, he was not going to go back to being the man he used to be to her, that man that used to be very understanding and really loving."You have fooled me for so many years, but now, I am wise, and I will never allow you fool me again.Dave went to meet with his friend Steven feeling all dejected, he couldn't really understand anything, for the past three month of Amanda's pregnancy she has been denying that she didn't deliberately do anything to cause her to be pregnant, but she is pregnant and there was no avoiding that, he couldn't just pretend like the pregnancy was his, when in actual sense it wasn't his, he needed to get a second opinion.All the while Dave had kept his wife's secret to himself and only a few persons knew about it, even his family members didn't know about it except for his younger sister who was staying with them and that one loves Amanda too much to want to expose her to either his mother or father.They wouldn't blink before throwing her out. He was confused alright, but he was willing to get to the root of the problem, if his wife claims someone must have drugged and raped her, then he was going to find out. If only he knew it was going to turn out this way, he would have raped her himse
Dave was so angry, he knew he should be careful while driving, but he really didn't care. He was going to drive, whichever way he chooses.Even if he has to break all the rules, he would. He actually, did break all the rules, at some point, he even thought he was going to die, but he still made it.He finally got home in one piece.Amanda was still at home, in their room, she was expecting Sonia, when she heard the the harsh entrance, she knew it couldn't be Sonia.she looked at the door, unaware of what to do, she was afraid she had left the door open, and recently there had been rumour of robbery incidents in the neighborhood, as she felt the footstep coming close to their room, she was about to stand up from her sitting position when her room door flung open."You bitch! You have been claiming you don't know what happened or how you got pregnant, but two month ago you were at Crystal bar with some guy. How dare you Amanda? How dare you do that to me, how dare you cheat on
She was hoping upon hope that he would recognize her and just talk to her, even her class mates thought she was lucky to just have him around most times, she would always tell them he was there to visit her brother, not her, but they still considered her the lucky one who gets to see a cute guy all the time.Good luck was know as a womanizer, he hardly says No to any girl who was bold enough to approach him, he was full of himself and very proud, but he couldn't deny the fact that he was falling for his friends little sis.The feeling he has for the girl couldn't be compared to the ones he was having at the moment, he tried to distract himself and not think about it so much because he knows very well what was coming for him.Maxwell would kill him, he would just skin him alive if he gets to know that he was as much as staring at his sister let alone claims some sort of silly love for her.But the more Good luck saw her he fell all over again.The more he tries to deny his feelings f
I really don't care, she shouted at the top of her voice, she was so happy, she had been drilling for a long time, she really liked him and she was sure he liked her too, she rushed to the mirror to take a look at herself, to see how she appeared infront of her crush, and she was angry at her look, she didn't even brush her hair. well she didn't know he was the one at the door, she tried brushing her hair and applying a wet lips bam on her lips she prayed he would come back and her hopes increased when she heard another gentle knock on the door, she was almost sure it is him, because her brother would never knock in a gentle way, her brother was too harsh, too strick and too mean. No wonder he had no girlfriend. She thought to herself.'Who would like aean guy like her brother, he was too serious about life, and would not give any chance to anyone.Good luck wasn't sure about what he just did. He was really scared, because, now that he had showed her just a little of how he feels, i
Amanda, opened the door, and showed him the empty box, and he shrugged him anger, then she walked back into the living room to be with him.He would always have a lot to say, about what happened at the field.More so, she could not stay in her room for too long, her brother would not stop knocking unless he sees that she was actually done, with the fruits.She remebered how she had thought it was Goodluck who had returned and so, she had rushed to apply some lipgloss, and combed her hair, not wanting to appear, the same way. "Stingy little sister, can't you even try to be more cheerful? He taunted, she went to the couch, and sat on it.He looked kinda happy, Amanda wondered what happened at the field that lighted his mood, he sat happily on the couch and smiled to himself."Goody must be crying now" he said as he continued to laugh and murmur something to himself. Amanda was half tempted to ask her brother what was amusing him but she knew better than to ask especially when it had
Amanda, didn't know what to say, she blinked severally before she could even open her mouth. Though Goodluck had seen her from afar, he was utterly surprised to see his dream girl in front of him putting on school uniform.Seeing her on uniform, made him feel like he was abusing her sexually by wanting to love her in every possible way, even though the age difference was only five years it still felt like he was way too old for her, plus she wasn't making it easy for him with the way she would call him brother and all, he was sure it would be really awkward to see her differently.To hold her, and kiss her, or even the dream he had of making love to her, felt so awkward, he should not be looking at her like that, but he could not help himself."What are you doing here? He asked, but that was not what he wanted to ask her, that question came out wrong, he had made the first move, he should now allow the rest, take shape."Good morning to you too" she said, smilling at him, she could no
Amanda layed back on the bed and tried to think of what next to do. She was sure there was nothing she could say or do to convince Dave, he was fuming with anger and needed his alone time to think, she was partially feeling guilty for everything happening to her at the moment, if she hadn't denied her husband all those months maybe God wouldn't have decided to punish her this way. She was sick, her stomach was growing, she was constantly hungry but no appetite to eat, her husband hates her , she cannot tell if what is in her womb was a baby or something else. But since everyone thinks she cheated with Goodluck or he had somehow managed to drug her the day she visited him, she decided to pay him another visit to ask him, though deep within her she was very sure he would never hurt her like that.When he finally confessed his loved for her and they started dating secretly, he left all his girlfriends because of her, he started acting more like a husband to her, she wanted all of him but
His calls kept coming and coming back to back that she was almost tempted to switch off her phone, but she remembered she needed it on to see Goodluck. True to his words he packed infront of the cafe at exactly twenty minutes from the time they last spoke, she smiled as she watched him step out of his car, he looked even more handsome with his sky blue shirt, his broad chest was visible even under the shirt, he looked side ways before pulling the glass door to the cafe backwards. The girls working at the cafe seem to have been hoping he would step in to the cafe someday because they continued to whisper to each other as he made his way to where Amanda was seated."Can we go now, I have never entered this cafe before? I don't like the attention. " Welcome to you too" she said, smilling, and then he realised, he kept doing things the wrong way."When will you ever learn, you just walked in, you haven't even greeted or asked me if I wanted to take something, you just want us to go.
