Harmony
episode 5
Finale
 
You know when you are very confident and have always have that strong authoritative aura which makes no one controls you, you’ll be very hærd to break or bend to anyone but when you find that person who can bend your will without much stress, you’ll be confuse and shock at your own poor will
 
That person was Kirk, he could control me even when my dad or any living soul couldn’t, he was like the ice that cools my fire….is that right? I think it’s water that quench my fire or whatever. He actually knew his way around me, how to mollify me when I’m going through any ridiculous mood swing, normally when I’m angry, no one, as in NO ONE! Can control or make me calm down except I wish to, that’s why I try my best not to get upset
 
Kirk knew all my buttons well, what to say, how to say it and what to do, it was surprising how well he knew me, even Alisdair couldn’t. I was head over heels in love with him, if he did anything to break my heart, I will never recover from it, EVER!
 
we’ve been friends for three months and everyone knew about it, he won’t stop posting my photos online, everyone thinks we are dating and he doesn’t make any effort to deny it
 
‘You are stubborn’ he said teasingly
 
‘I’m not stubborn!’ I exclaimed childishly, we were at a restaurant, well his restaurant, his dad owns like tons of them all over the world, they serve ‘the’ very best food, it’s my dad’s favourite place and to seal the deal, his dad and my dad were friends
 
‘Yes you are’
 
‘No I’m not’
 
‘You are’
 
‘I’m not!’
 
‘Just accept it like that’
 
‘Never!’
 
‘Then you’re foxy’
 
‘Now you’re talking!’ I exclaimed happily, he hissed
 
‘In your dreams’
 
‘I’m going to ignore you now’ I said calmly imitating his voice, he fold his arms and laughed
 
‘I don’t talk like that’
 
‘You so do, always calm and snobbish’ he’s not snobbish, just hate talking too much but a little revenge teasing won’t hurt
 
‘I’m not, I just don’t like to talk’ he said defensively
 
‘You are’
 
‘I’m going to ignore you now’ he bit his l-ips regretfully after saying that, I laughed
 
‘You were saying?’
 
‘Shut up’ he mumbled, he’s taking this seriously. ‘Can we just have one argue less dinner?’ He asked annoyingly
 
‘Well you started it’ he shifted his plate away and stood up, is he seriously leaving me because I said he’s snobbish? I was kidding!
 
But why will he take it serious? It was an obvious joke, I mean he w…..oh! I always blab about how I hate snobbish guys, that must have hurt him, I know he likes me but I don’t know about love. He returned grumpily
 
‘Let’s go’
 
‘I’m not done with my food, can’t….’
 
‘Harmony stand up’ his voice was calm but authoritative, I stood up quickly and followed him, on a normal basic no one can make me do that
 
‘Stop being grumpy, you’re not snobbish, I was only joking and you know that’ I said laughingly trying to ease the tension in the car
 
‘I know’
 
‘Then why so grumpy?’
 
‘I’m in my period’ I burst into laughter, I know he’s trying to change the topic so I’ll just play along. ‘Harmony’
 
‘Yes’ I answered laughingly
 
‘What is your idea kind of guy?’ That was the first time he was asking me such question, promotion!
 
‘Hmmmmm weeeeeeell’ I said playfully
 
‘Harmony I’m serious’
 
‘Okay any guy who can control me is my idea kind of guy but of course, he has to be handsome as hell’ I said buoyantly, he smiled boyishly and bit his l-ips to hold back his grin ‘why are you smiling?’
 
‘Because you will remain single for the rest of your life, the day any guy can control you is the day the heavens will pour down manner again’ he’s so good at covering up his track, I laughed forcefully and looked away, maybe he’ll ask me out soon
 
#Five_days_later
 
‘Are you sure you want to tell him?’ Benny asked for the umpteenth time
 
‘I have to Benny, I can’t wait anymore, I know he likes me and that’s enough’
 
‘But what if….’
 
‘No buts please, I’ll tell him I love him today’ I said confidently, she shrugged. ‘Drop me off? The nervousness won’t let me drive’
 
‘Sure’ she said uncertainly, she drove me to his place, a very huge castle, lolz, mansion jare, the guards already knew me, we’re besties 😉😉😉 I walked into his house easily, I know his password, “I love ice cream” 😂😂😂 crazy boy
 
I stopped dead on my track when I walked into the living room, he laid on the couch, a lady on top of him, they were k-ssing, my heart felt like it was stabbed, the pain was suffocating, I turned around and left quietly
 
‘You’re leaving early?’ Matteo, the head guard asked shockingly
 
‘Yea, I just got an emergency call’ I lied
 
‘Are you okay?’
 
‘I’m fine, just help me call a cab, didn’t come with my car’ I managed to gasp out
 
Harmony you are strong, don’t do this to yourself
 
I chanted until I got home, I couldn’t breathe properly as the pain was killing me, I sat on the floor of my room and dialed Benny’s
 
‘So what’s up?’
 
‘Where are you?’
 
‘On my way to Jared, I’m almost…..oh my God! I’m on my way home right now!’ She shouted and hung up, I laid on the floor and closed my eyes as I finally let the tears flow, I wept convulsively, even when Benny came, I didn’t stop, for straight ten hours I cried before I slept off
 
In the morning, I woke up with a fever, the memory of the previous day was still hunting me, I resume crying again
 
‘Harmony please stop crying, I beg you in the name of God, please, maybe you misunderstood what you saw’ she will never understand, maybe I did misunderstand but heartbreak is heartbreak, it was like the pain I shoved deep into the dark in Alisdair betrayal came out and mixed with Kirk
 
We are not dating, he owes me no explanation or anything but I was in love with him, it hurts, more than anything in the world. My pillow was soaked already. The doorbell rang and Benny went to get it
 
‘Good morning’ I heard Kirk greeted
 
‘I should be the one greeting you’ Benny said jokingly but I could hear the bitterness in her voice
 
‘Where’s Harmony? I really need to talk to her’
 
‘She’s on her way to Nigeria, her dad sent for her’
 
‘I know she’s in there, Matteo said she came yesterday but left quickly’
 
‘Yea, she was going to tell you that she was leaving but you were busy weren’t you?’ She said skeptically
 
‘It’s not what you or her thinks, that girl was my….’
 
‘It’s none of my concern, Hammy left and won’t be back for the next one month, now don’t disturb me, my boyfriend is in there and he’s sleeping, I don’t want to wake him up after the stressful night he had’ I smiled despite myself, Benicious Benny 😁😁😁
 
‘Benny please, I’m begging you, just let me talk to her’ he pleaded, I could hear the tears in his voice
 
‘I say she no dey! you no get ear? Shoo’ she shouted angrily at him, I laughed silently, her accent always sounds funny when she speaks pidgin
 
‘I guess I’ll call her dad and ask him then’ I quickly used my backup phone to call dad, he picked up immediately
 
‘Dad if Kirk calls, tell him you sent for me, please’
 
‘Why? Did you guys fight again?’
 
‘No, just tell him that, bye’ I hung up and switch off the phone, Benny walked in calmly
 
‘He’s gone, but I locked the door, you should give him a chance to explain’
 
‘Not now, I’m wallowing’
 
‘Then we’ll wallow together’ she whispered and laid on the bed, Benny was serious, she stayed in bed with me for the seven days I spent wallowing and crying, she would cry too until I stopped, I couldn’t bring myself to cry again because of her, it was funny
 
When I stopped, she stops, when I start, she starts, if I eat, she eats, she’s one in a million. My sickness was getting worse, even the drugs I took couldn’t heal me, I was emotionally sick, Kirk kept coming back, according to Benny, that girl was his ex girlfriend and first love who came back for him after getting dumped by her boyfriend
 
That doesn’t explain why he k-ssed her back, I know she k-ssed him from their position.
 
An unexpected Saturday, the doorbell rang, Benny was sleeping so I went to open the door
 
‘Dad!’ I shrieked excitedly, I jumped into his arms and started crying, I don’t even know why I did that. Someone touched my hair, I looked at the person, a woman, light skinned and very beautiful. I wiped my tears. ‘Who is she? Your girlfriend?’
 
‘Look closer’ dad smiled, I scrutinized her face, she looked really familiar
 
‘Oh my God! Mom!’ I shrieked, my head started pounding and soon I fainted. I woke up in the hospital two days later, mom was there
 
‘Baby please don’t be scared, she’s your mom’ dad said calmly
 
‘How?’
 
‘She never died, she got into an accident and that led to her force labour, she went into a coma and you were removed through an operation, when you were five, I showed her sleeping body to you and the effect was bad, somehow you lost your memories so the doctor advice we keep it away from you, at least until she wakes up’
 
‘That’s why you never remarried, mom was alive and dead’ I said in tears, he nodded. ‘When did she wake up?’
 
‘Four months ago but I wanted her to get better first’
 
‘Can I hug my darling now?’ Mom asked tearily, I let her hug me and wept in her arms. I later told her everything about my love life, from Alis to Kirk. ‘Can I ask you a question dear?’
 
‘Yes, what?’
 
‘If it was Alisdair that k-ssed you, will you resist him easily? Especially when you loved him so much before?’ She asked calmly, what she said made a lot of sense, I wouldn’t let him k-ss me because I never really loved him with my all but I understand mom. Kirk walks in with Benny that moment
 
‘Mom 2’ Benny smiled and hugged her. ‘I bought Harmony Chicken soup and a cup of Kirk to go’ I burst into laughter
 
‘You are sick Benny, I swear down’
 
‘Benny, why don’t we go talk outside’
 
‘About what? My b-obs?’ Mom smacked her head and pulled her out, Kirk walked to me and sat down nervously
 
‘Hi’ he started quietly
 
‘Hi Kirky’ I said with feign enthusiasm
 
‘Please stop pretending like you are okay’
 
‘You aren’t either, you look like you were hit by a bus and ran over by a mud truck, what’s up?’
 
‘You are up’ he snapped. ‘You can’t just disappear like that without letting me explain, what you saw wasn’t what you think, I swear’ his eyes were glassy
 
‘Kirk you owe me no explanation, you only wanted to have fun, there’s…’
 
‘That’s not what happened!!!’ He roared, I yelped and flinched, it was the first time to see him so frustrated and agitated. He went on his knees and held my hands, marriage proposal? ‘Please Hammy, don’t shut me out, I know you are hurt but please, I don’t want you to pretend, just let it out so this pain in my heart would stop, so I’ll know you love me, please’ he rested his head on the bed and cried
 
My jaw was on my laps, I never expected this, I slowly started crying too, it was funny how we just cried like that for minutes with no words, he kept saying he’s sorry and can’t lose me or he’ll die. I stopped crying first and helped him up to the bed
 
‘It’s okay, please stop’
 
‘I don’t want to lose you too’ he sobbed, I cleaned his tears
 
‘You won’t, I promise. In fact, if I see that girl again, I’ll break her legs’ he chuckled, I was aware of our proximity, he held my cheeks and k-ssed me gently, the k-ss turned from gentle to hot hot
 
‘Ooooh! Hospital s€×!’ Benny squealed, I held a slapping sound. ‘Ow! Mom 2!’ I chuckled and slowly pushed Kirk off
 
‘Ahem’ mom cleared her throat teasingly, I bowed my head sheepishly. ‘Don’t worry, to be continued’ she said with a wink, Kirk laughed
 
‘Seriously, your first assignment in a hospital?’ Benny snorted, I rolled my eyes while mom smacked her again, the rest of the evening was spent with me being teased and mom slapping Benny
 
#weeks_later
 
Kirk’s mansion
 
‘Kirk stop tickling me’ I laughed as he tickled me on his bed, I laughed and laughed as he ignored my request to stop. ‘Okay okay, you win, I’ll let you post it’
 
I sat up laughingly and adjusting my gown, he brought out his phone and k-ssed me, he took photos of us k-ssing and smiling and other stupid things, then posted it on tweeter and Instagram
 
#Harshtag swimming in the ocean of love 😅😅😅
 
‘See, people love us, 296likes in Instagram in 6mins, the comments aren’t bad either’ he said smiling to his phone
 
‘Mm hm’ I hummed and laid on the bed with knees bents up, I was smiling at the ceiling thinking about how happy my life is, I have my mom back and my dad is always there, Harry is happy with Annabel and their troublesome kids, I have the best friend and boyfriend in the entire world and Zino was finally in love with a no nonsense girl, she won’t give him a chance because he’s a dog
 
But she loves him, we know each other and I told her to torment him first, what else? I hope Kirk will marry me one day, I just hope 😁😁😁 he suddenly came on top of me and k-ssed me hungrily, I k-ssed him back with confusion. His hands were moving deeper into my th-gh and I knew what he wanted
 
Fear of repeating the same mistake which I did with Alis was stopping me from stopping him, it was too early, we’ve only dated for three weeks and five days and he wants it already, I didn’t want it yet but what if he cheats like Alis
 
My gown was off now and I was super nervous, his hands were everywhere and I was enjoying it, should I stop? He’ll marry me eventually, right? Why do I like to please him so much? I’m twenty three, I can decide for myself but right now I’m stumped. Maybe because of the pleasure that was making my head swell
 
He stopped, he f-cking stopped! Why did he stop?
 
‘Harmony, should I stop?’ He asked gently, should I stop? His voice was reverberating in my head
 
‘You can’t die like this stupid, just loosen up and have some fun’ Benny’s voice echoed in my head, I smiled, that girl is something else, I shook my head negatively hoping I won’t regret my decision because it is one I can never change
 
But I’m sure he won’t break my heart, mom said he’s my Mr Right and nothing will change that so I let our world meet with no regret but a fulfilled heart.
 
My life can’t go wrong and even if it does, I’ll always stand back on my feet because I have love ones around me and because I am
