Mr. Lecturer
SEASON 2
Episode 17
“please you should leave now. Let her be please” my mother in law pleaded as she dutifully attended to Jessica who managed to sit up with great pain.
“please dear, i’m so sorry” i apologized to her slowly, very confused on what to do next.
“please leave right now. I beg of you” my mother in law begged once again. I shrugged, breathed deeply and left without another word.

I returned to my apartment to see Comfort looking very worried and scared. She heaved a sigh of relief as she opened the door for me.
“you left me very worried and scared. You left without telling me where you were going” she asked unhappily. I ignored her, went to my bedroom, undressed, took a quick shower and retired to my bed for a cool night rest. She however showed up minutes later to disturb me.
Comfort walked into my room, turned on the lights and sat beside me on the bed. I stared back at her, saying nothing.
“are you not hungry?” she asked, placing her right hand on my chest.
“no i’m not” i answered coldly.
“i want to be sharing the same bed with you” She suddenly muttered, shocking me with her words.
“it’s for the baby. Don’t tell me you don’t understand” she added, forcing me up with her words. I quickly sat up and stared at her with disgust.
“don’t be ridiculous” i breathed.
“c’mon” she scoffed.
“my mother is coming over tomorrow to stay with me. So better start preparing your mind about the new plans she’s going to make for you” i said with a smile, unsettling her with the revelation. She drew back with shock, frowned and quickly smiled to conceal her feelings. But i wasn’t a kid. I knew the last thing she wanted was my mother’s presence.
“so how do we go about getting your job back?” she suddenly asked, changing the topic. I breathed deeply , stared at her for some seconds before replying.
“i have the contact of one Mr Moses, he works for Vanguard newspaper. The same paper that covered our story very vigorously. I will invite him over to come chat with you. All you have to tell him is that i never took advantage of you. That we were dating before i left the country for my masters degree. When i returned, we continued the affair, not minding i was married to another lady. Anyway we have all of tomorrow to go through the story” i said easily.
“and you think it’s going to be convincing?, remember i’m in your house.” she asked curiously.
“don’t worry, just go to bed. We have all of tomorrow to plan things” i answered with a smile. She shrugged, got up and left without another word.

As early as 6am the next day, i was in my father in law’s house to see if i could talk to Jessica one more time. I badly needed to settle things with her and put my mind at ease.
Jessica and her mum were already set to head out of the city when i arrived. They really were in the process of getting into one of the family cars when i showed up, and of course they were very surprised to see me.
“my love please don’t leave without at least hugging me. Please” i begged as i advanced towards them. Jessica stared at me and waited, while her mum went ahead and got into the car.
“my love, please just a hug. I need it” i begged solemnly. She stared at me for some seconds, breathed deeply, drew close and hugged me, settling my spirit.
“my love, i’m going to return with your son. I love you. Please don’t let me down” she breathed with great passion, broke away from me, and quickly joined her mother in the chauffeur driven car which sped off immediately. I was close to tears as i watched the car sped away…
“i pray you return with my son” i prayed with great emotion.
Episode 18
I headed back to my apartment with a more relaxed mind, invited Mr Moses {the press guy) and spent the rest of the morning, rehearsing and polishing up my story with Comfort.
Comfort however was overly helpful. She did contribute her best in making the clumsy story a believable one.
“i hope things work out fine for you” she breathed with a sweet smile.
Mr moses showed up at my apartment at exactly 1:30pm. Of course he was very surprised when i introduced Comfort to him. He asked lots of questions and equally was very professional with it.
The interview was quite a long one. Comfort really did her best. She never stammered and acted overly cool and wonderful. In the end, the journalist, smiled and shook hands with me.
“surely this story is going to make a wonderful read. There are lots of unexpected twists in it. You are lucky to have her Collaborate this for you” he said to me, nodding at Comfort who blushed. I quickly fetched out an envelope and offered him with great gratitude.
“Please manage this little token as a sign of appreciation. It’s just ten thousand Naira in there. Please i know how you guys easily change public opinion with your write ups. Please just help me twist the words a little bit, to get me public sympathy. I have been out of work for a while now” i pleaded desperately. The well built man, licked his lips and took the envelope.
“don’t worry about that. This new story will be out in two days. Just try to get a copy when it comes out” he promised, smiled and left. Comfort drew close and hugged me.
“do you trust him?” she asked. I shrugged silently.
__
My mother showed up by 3pm, looking very cool and important. I was very happy to have her with me. The joy in my heart was very obvious.
Comfort however was far from pleased. She simply kept to herself and did everything possible to hide from her.
“so what do we do with the silly girl?” mum asked when we were alone in my room. I shrugged.
“we are not kicking her out yet. Not until i get my job back. Just monitor her for me” I answered.
“seriously the girl looks very fine and healthy. I think she’s faking being sick to be with you. Moreover for her to help you like you told me without any conditions. I think she has something new in her sleeve” my mother muttered. I shrugged and stared back at her, saying nothing.

Two days later, my new story appeared in page two of Vanguard Newspaper with super exciting caption.
The Real Story Of Mr Caleb and his student”
Read – My delicious landlady episode 1
I read the story over and over with a calm smile. Mr moses was just so perfect with the writeup. My relationship with Comfort. How i left the girl and travelled abroad. How we reunited not minding i was married. How Comfort was hurt but still in love. At the end he ended up by summarizing that it was just a love affair that went sore. A family matter that needed no outside influence. No one took advantage of anyone. Mr Caleb was just a young man with blood in his veins. He shouldn’t have been thrown out of the school” such a perfect story it was.
Comfort held me as we read everything together. Tears appeared in her eyes as she read.
I grabbed my phone and dialled the Senator’s number.
Episode 19
The senator was impressed when i broke the news to him. I really was overly excited as we talked on phone.
“that’s great news boy. I will try read the paper this morning. Relax and prepare yourself to return to your job” he promised and hung up.
“i pray he helps. Seriously” Comfort muttered, breaking into my thoughts. I shrugged and said nothing.

It really was a very nervous wait as the week went by without any news from the senator. However the following Monday brought the much needed news to me. The senator called to tell me that my case has been pushed to the very top.
“i believe before the week runs off, you will have your job back. I have done everything i can. You now owe me” he said and hung up, leaving me deeply over joyed.
On Wednesday morning, my father in law called to tell me that my case was among the agenda outlined to be discussed in the school Senate meeting set to hold in few hours.
“you should keep your fingers crossed my boy. The Senator really did a good job for you. I can’t imagine how he did it” the old man said to me. I beamed with Joy.
Just like i expected, my problem was deliberated on, and i was offered my job back. My suspension lifted. I just can’t describe how i felt that very evening when my father in law came over to my apartment to give me the news himself..
The next day i headed to work, dressed in a new suit and accompanied by my good old father In law who really supported me in every possible way as i met the school Vice Chancellor and other top Officers of the institution. The paperwork for my resumption was done, signed and stamped in no time.
I was back in school as a Lecturer. My dream. The job i fought and sacrificed so much for.
________
I returned home later in the day to hug my mother and Comfort who were eagerly waiting for my return.
“i have my job back. I’m still a lecturer. God is wonderful” i screamed with Joy. My mother danced with happiness while Comfort held me and stared into my eyes.
“now you have your job back. Hope you are not going to kick me out of the house and out of your life?’ she asked with great concern. I swallowed hard and shook my head.
“no” i answered and looked away. My conscience flogged me as i thought of Jessica.
“i will travel to Abuja tomorrow to Celebrate and spend the weekend with Jessica. I miss my wife” i suddenly announced, shocking Comfort who gasped with disbelief. My mother drew close and held me.
“let’s go to your room and talk” she said with a serious look. I nodded, together we headed to my room.
On getting to my room, she stopped and gave me a motherly look. I held her hands softly.
“mum you know Jessica is my life. I love her. I yearn so much to be with her. I have to go to the capital city tomorrow to be with her. Don’t stop me from going. It’s something i have to do” i pleaded while she smiled and nodded.
“of course i understand, but what do we do with Comfort?’. It’s time you make a decision” she asked seriously. I swallowed hard and stared back at her, saying nothing.
Of course it was time to make a decision. But what do i do??.
Episode 20
“mum i think that should wait until i get back from the capital city. I have lots of things going on in my head right now. I can’t even think properly” i said to my dear mum who shrugged and breathed deeply.
“so when are you coming back?” she asked.
“i will be back on Sunday by God’s grace. Just watch over Comfort for me” i answered, drew forward and kissed her forehead.
“so you are going to leave me all alone with that girl?” she asked with a frown.
“don’t tell me you are scared of her?” i asked and laughed.
_____
I left for the capital city very early the next day in very high spirit. Comfort really wasn’t happy about it and tried her best to make me notice how sad she was after i made the announcement the previous day. However she never tried to stop me. Of course she had no power to do such thing.
By 7pm, i was in my wife’s family Residence in Abuja and what a happy moment it was for me as my lovely wife threw herself on me with so much joy and happiness.
“i can’t believe this” she cried with joy.
“my love. You look so good” i breathed, sharing a superb kiss with her.
It was a very great evening for us. We had so much to share and discuss. I equally was very grateful to my mother in law who took it upon herself to get my lovely Jessica back to shape. Oh i felt like a new born kid as we shared stories and jokes. I couldn’t help but pray to God to help me out of the little problems i had left. Because no matter how happy and playful my wife was that very evening, I knew the thought of Comfort still occupied a large chunk of her heart…
Later in the night, as we shared some romantic time in the guest room. She softly demanded i make love to her.
“i want to feel you all over again. Make love to me. Take me gently and devour me with great passion” she demanded, climbing over me. I stared at her with apprehension.
“my love are you sure about this?. Remember our baby” i murmured hungrily. She smiled and kissed me, pulling off Her nightwear. In no time my hands were softly on her b—–s as i gently penetrated and made love to her. It was such an awesome moment.
When we were done. She smiled and closed her eyes.
“i love you very much. I can’t live without you” she breathed.
“me too” i confessed, caressing her hair.
“that girl Comfort, what’s your new plan with her?. You are yet to mention anything concerning her to me” she suddenly demanded, pushing me a bit backwards with the question.
Yes i was expecting her to ask about Comfort but i really wasn’t ready to discuss the girl with her because i had no new plans and with the way things were currently going, the old plan might not work out again.
“you know i can’t stand her taking my position in our house. You have to kick her out the moment you get home. Promise me you will do it?” she demanded solemnly, with all her soul. I swallowed hard and stared at her.
“if you really love me. That’s the first thing you will do when you get home” she pushed on, putting me in a very tight emotional trauma. I just couldn’t say anything to her. Of course saying anything contrary to her demand would put her in a bad mood and oh yes she had every right to make such demand but it just wasn’t easy to me.
“i see no reason why she’s still staying in our home. You now have your job back and i know you still have some money left to afford a good apartment for the witch. Tell me are you kicking her out or not?” she demanded once again…
