BITTER SWEETNESS”

Episode11

“You’ve been driving for close to 1hr, where are we going to?” Gozie asked

Pamie looked at him and kept quiet focusing on the road.

“Pamela where are you taking me to?” Gozie asked as they diverted into the outskirts of the town.
Pamela kept quiet.

Gozie became alert and started dragging the steering with her.

“What do you think you’re doing? Do you want to get us into an accident?!!” Pamela scre-med leaving the steering for him.
He managed to pull up outside the road and the car came to a stop.

“Now listen to me little girl.. don’t try to play games with me. Where are you taking me to?” Gozie asked looking at her squarely.

“I thought you are a hærd man. Why shivering like a baby?” She scoffed.

Gozie opened the door and came out.
Pamela followed him
“We’re not there yet. Get in let’s us”

“Not until you tell me where you’re taking me to” Gozie said

“Ok…fine!!” Pamela quickly brought out a gun from her wa-ist and fired it in to the air.

“JESUS!!!!!” Gozie scre-med in panic.

Some men dressed in black armed with guns and other weapons came out of the bush, carried Gozie, bundled him into Pamie’s car and drove off.

“You fool! How dare you take advantage of my vulnerable moment to have s€× with me? Are you mad??” Tessy scre-med immediately Tony climbed off her after c-mming.

“Babe I’ve missed this your mad body..” he winked grabbing her bare br-asts.
She slapped his hands off

“You’re just a devil.. please leave now!!” She scre-med

“But I thought we’re back together” Tony was confused

“You and who?” She hissed “please wear those rags you call clothes and leave!!!”

“Tessy, I’ve tried my best. God knows I’ve tried to make it up to you and make the relationsh¡p work but you keep pushing me away.”

“Quit the motivational speech and get out!!”

“I’ll go and never come back..”

Tessy hissed “better”

************************

Chief Philip angrily walked into the living room

“Nne Gozie! Nne Gozie!!!!” He scre-med

Madam Joy ran to meet him

“Nnam, welcome..”

“Keep your greetings to your self..look here, I’m sick and tired of the constant shame and disgrace that your son keeps bringing to my name”

“What has he done this Time?” Madam Joy sighed

“I heard from a reliable source that Gozie is now a driver in Late Samuelson Ogbu’s company”

“Driver? But how??”

“He keeps disgracing me..what would people say? Imagine the media mocking me with such a news! Chai… I’m tired” Chief Philip slumped into his sofa in deep thought

Madam Joy paced about dialing GOZIE’S number but to no avail.

Ken took Pauline to his house. He recently left his parents house to be alone. It was a hefty mansion with a nice pool.

Baddo had dropped at the junction to his house.

Pauline came down from the car barefooted and the beauty of the mansion made her speechless.

“PauPau!!”ken tapped her into reality

“Ken, is this your house?”

He nodded

“I’m asking like a fool.. what was I expecting from the son of a multi millionaire who’s now the millionaire?!”

Ken just laughed and took her in,side..

BITTER SWEETNESS”

Episode12

That night, Pauline prepared a delicious meal of “ofe ede” (cocoyam soup) and pounded yam for dinner.
She had asked money from Ken earlier to go to the market and get the ingredients.

“I’ve missed local dishes. Kai! This is delicious!” Ken exclaimed the moment he tested the food.

“Uhmm” Pauline smiled

“You’re a good cook!” He said munching the food hungrily.

“What do you expect from a confirm Owerre daughter?” Pauline bragged

“Biko sharrap..quit the bragging. I cook more than you” Ken eyed her.

Pauline bursted into laughter “cook more than me? PauPau? Hehehe.. you don’t know what you’re saying..” she continued eating

“Do you want to bet with me?” Ken asked

“I’ll win you hands down..no need” she was chewing her meat.

“Let’s bet”

“You really want to disgrace your village people?” She asked

“Waka there!” Ken showed her his five fingers.

Pauline laughed “oya, we have to stake something o”

“Which is?”

Pauline thought for a while..”okay..if I win, you’ll do whatever you wish for a week and if you win, I’ll do whatever you wish for a week”

“Uhm..ok..deal!”

************************

Gozie was blindfolded and taken into a building. When his blindfold was removed, he realized he was in a beautiful and well furnished room.
Two of the men that took him where standing close to the door.
He couldn’t find Pamela.

“What is going on here? What do y’all want? Money?? Call my dad then! Why holding me captive? Where is Pamela..why is she doing this?” Gozie scre-med

“Hey Mr Man! You better shut up and sit down!” One of the men barked at him

“Oh Jesus!” He sat down on the sofa tapping his leg in confusion

Few minutes later, Gozie heard the sound of a car pull up in front of the building.
“Another captive?” He asked himself.

“Let me gooooooo!” He heard the voice scre-m.
It was the voice of a lady.
Wait..
The voice sounds familiar!

It was Presh!!

The stared at each other in confusion..

“What are you doing here?” Presh asked him.

“I should be asking you that!” Gozie said

“Hey… what’s with the confusion?” Pamela said walking in.

“You? Pamie what are you doing here?” Presh asked in confusion

“She brought me here! She sent men to kidnap me!!” Gozie scre-med

“Kidnap you for what?” Presh asked

“Enough of the questions and confusion.. I’d explain” Pamela said as she sat on the sofa.

Presh sat down.
Gozie did same.

“Now here’s the thing..I realized I came into your love story to spoil it. I realized both of you love each other so much. Imagine my big sis here locking herself up and crying throughout the night. This Uncle here almost killed himself with drinking last night and I had to drive him home myself. He did not even know who took him home. I sat down and I thought about it. Inasmuch as I feel Gozie played a major role in the death of my sister, I still consider the happiness of the living than the dead..”

“So what’s the point of kidnapping us?” Presh asked

“I want you both to be together..and talk things out. Pride and anger won’t let either of you talk to each other normally so I had to do it in an abnormal way. I caused the fuss so I have to fix it.” Pamie said

Gozie bent his head since he now understood the wh0le thing.

Pamie stood up “we’d be back in 4hours time. I hope that by then, you two would be cool”

She looked at the men and the followed her outside locking Presh and Gozie in,side the house.

Presh and Gozie sat in silence, each with his own thought.
Suddenly, Gozie knelt before Presh
“Obim I’m sorry.. please forgive me. It’s my past. I don’t live there anymore..”

“But why? Why?” Presh started crying

“I don’t have an explanation or an excuse. I’m not denying or trying to justify myself. I just want you back in to my life..I need you..I can’t breathe without you” Gozie cried

They both started crying

“I love you Gozie. Honestly, I do” Presh cried

“I love you even more” Gozie reached out to her face and they k-ssed passionately
