😋 Segment 47 😋
💚 Ted 💚
I looked at Cookie with adoration as she blabbed endlessly about all the things that have been happening to her in Finland. My elbow stayed on the windowsill, a sweet smile on my face. She looked so adorable, stuffing her mouth with cookies as she talked. I’m terribly late for the launch but she is more important. I had to drop her off at home first, before I can go.
‘…you should have seen his face! It was priceless, very very.’ She seems very fond of that Diego person, hope he won’t be a problem.
‘So, what did he do next?’ I asked with feign interest.
‘What can he do? He ran out in tears to meet his mommy. The idiot doesn’t ever want to stop being so clean, I wonder what Diego see in him.’
And there’s the name again. ‘Who’s the Diego you keep talking about?’
‘My twin brother, he’s older than I am though.’
‘And how old is he?’ I asked with an eye roll.
‘Hmmm, he’s twenty three.’
‘Cookie, you’re twenty six.’
‘I am? I thought I was nine?’ She gasped.
‘You are not. I met you months after your twenty third birthday and if we should calculate all the months we fought, the ones you left, the ones you stayed silent and the rest, that ended up at your twenty fourth birthday. I didn’t celebrate it though, I was planning something more fascinating. Then, you have been missing for two years, almost two years. You are a month away from your twenty sixth birthday.’ I explained.
‘So, how did we spend our first Christmas together?’ She asked curiously. I chuckled and looked out of the window.
‘I don’t celebrate Christmas, and you spent it with Yolanda in her room.’ I lied. On Christmas, I knew she would do something crazy, no one celebrates Christmas in my house, we all hate it. Yolanda don’t either, bad memories. I wasn’t in good terms with her then, so I had her injected for a week.
What? I still hated her then.
‘Why not? Christmas is fun!’
‘And noisy,’
‘You are insane.’
‘Well guess what?’
‘Ur… You finally found a brain?’ I said jokingly.
‘No, not yet. But I’m almost there by heaven’s grace. My quest of finding my empty brain will soon come to an end, hopefully, I will get it back before my birthday… Hey, does it mean my birthday is in November?’
‘November 26.’
‘Yay! We can spend Halloween together!’
‘I hate holidays, I don’t celebrate anything because there is no reason to be happy and joyful. I don’t need an holiday to achieve that.’
‘You are sick, I understand that now. Well, back to our guessing.’
‘You finally realised you are not a kid and need to act your age. You have a daughter you know.’
‘No, I’m still nine years old, your lies won’t change a thin… I have a daughter!’ She shouted. I chuckled.
‘Yolanda,’ she stared at me with wide eyes.
‘I’m a mom?’ She asked incredulously. I broke into a peal of laughter and pinched her nose.
‘You are cute, no, you don’t. Yolanda is mine but she sees you as hers.’
‘You’re a dad?’
‘Yolanda is biologically my sister’s daughter, she’s an orphan so I’m the father now.’
She sighed with relief. ‘Is she cute?’
‘Yes, in a complicated way.’
‘Huh?’
‘She’s very mean, too mean that her cuteness doesn’t show.’
‘She sounds cool,’ she chirped. ‘We are home!’ She squealed and dashed to the door. I dragged her back. ‘Hey, what?’
‘Goodbye k-ss?’ She hastily placed a k-ss on my l-ips and rushed back to the door. I pulled her back again. ‘I love you.’
‘I know, don’t know if I love you but I will get there soon.’ I didn’t want to push her, she k-ssed me again, longer this time and then dashed out of the car. She shut the door and ran in,side without another glance.
Do you really want to hurt her Ted? Why not leave her alone?
She needs to forget, she don’t need to remember.
Why not own up and seek her forgiveness the right way?
I ignored it and shook my head. I can’t let her.
💖 Valería 💖
I was feeling sick, very sick. I miss her, I need her back before I won’t see her again. Why do I love her so much? Why do I care so much? What have she used on me? I miss her so much.
‘Lerry!!!’ I can almost hear her voice. ‘Lerry!!!’
‘Huh?’ The door to my room burst open, she ran in with Armando on her shoulders. ‘Dora!’ I shouted with joy, more tears flowing down. She dropped Armando and ran over to me. I stood up from my bed and hugged her. ‘I missed you, I miss you so much.’
‘Me too, I came back fast, sorry my best friend.’
‘Hope he didn’t hurt you?’
‘No, he was really sweet but I need to talk to you and Diego…’
‘I’m here,’ Diego said, running into my room. ‘Sis!’ Dora left me and ran over to him. ‘I thought you would forget us.’
‘I will never forget you all, you are my family,’ she giggled. She turned to Armando and threw her wallet at him. ‘Go crazy.’
‘Yes! Thank you so much Dora!’ Armando ran out. I smiled and rolled my hair into a bun.
‘He’s going to empty your credit card,’ Diego said chucklingly.
‘Don’t worry, I have a rich boyfriend now.’
‘Boyfriend? You are dating him now?’ I asked as I watched her take a seat on the chair in my room. She nodded. ‘Are you sure?’ She nodded again.
‘He says I need to follow him to Italy in two days, for my safety. I have to go guys but I want you all to come with me.’
‘And leave our life again?’ Diego asked disapprovingly.
‘Listen guys,’ she crossed her legs. ‘I love him and I know he can protect me, I feel it in my guts. He also told me about my dad, how he lost me before he got to know me. The man is sad and frustrated, I want to meet him and then my mother. I also know that being around familiar faces and environment will help jolt my memory to life, I need this for my health. Also, he is the only person that can help me.’
‘If you are going, then I am coming with you. There is no way I’m leaving my sister to a stranger, I must be there to watch over you too…’
‘And be with Carlos,’ she sang teasingly.
‘Backup, Carlos?’
‘A cute guy that works for Ame, Valería is head over heels for him.’ She said in a singsong.
‘Ooh,’ Diego cooed, wiggling his brows at me. They both laughed as I glared at them.
‘Shut up!’
‘Mm hm,’ they hummed teasingly.
‘Okay okay, back to the you are leaving part. Diego, are you coming?’
‘I don’t think so. Remember my band just got an offer to be signed into a very good label in UK, we already accepted it. I will have to leave and you guys head go Italy, Armando will be glad, Italy is his dream country.’
‘So, it’s settled then?’ I asked, looking between the both of them.
‘Yup!’
‘I guess so, though I will miss Diego, who will be my slave now?’ Diego flicked her head and she laughed.
‘Don’t you see any of this as completely ludicrous? Crazy?’
‘Lerry darling, I was born crazy, crazy things seems pretty normal to me.’
‘That makes sense,’ Diego laughed. ‘So, you have to quit your job? Your boss will be really sad.’
‘I was bound to leave one day anyways, he will manage. I’m spending today with you guys, then tomorrow, I’m going to quit my job, clear some few things up and return to pack my bags. We’ll be leaving the day after. I think I should go first, then make arrangement for you and Armando, what do you think?’
‘Ignored, we are leaving together. Tomorrow I will go clear my stuffs as well, and get Armando’s transfer paper. Think you can extend it to a week?’
‘I don’t even know if he will let you all come, I’ll need to talk to him later. He will be sending a car over tomorrow evening, can’t I go first?’
‘Valería, she should go first, so you can get enough time to put yourself together.’ Diego said.
‘But…’
‘No but, you are staying put first.’ He said sternly.
‘Hey Diego, guess what?’
‘What?’
‘I’m three years older than you are, Ame told me. I’m Praxina Aileen Newton, almost twenty six years old so in your face!’
Oh brother.
💜 Yolanda 💜
Next day
I paced my room, thinking of what to do. I was rethinking my plans, I can’t let her get on that machine because dad is an extra careful man. He isn’t stupid, he always gives his machine a thorough check before use. I need to think of another plan, something else to do. I sighed and rest my palms on the table, leaning on it as I thought deep, River and Ursula staring at me. Carlos said they have gotten intimate again, using that will be perfect but I need to do…
‘That’s it!’ I exclaimed and clapped my hands. ‘That’s f-cking it!’ I looked at the digital clock and smirked, the right time. I ran out of the laboratory in the second house and headed to the first, in time to see her coming out of her car. ‘If it isn’t my beautiful stepmother,’ I sniggered. She always came by this time to check on me like she cares.
‘Kid, you’re happy.’
‘Yeah, because you are going to get dumped!’
‘What are you talking about?’
‘Dad is in Finland and you are here, far away. There, any woman can get him laid and he can fall in love with them.’
She scoffed. ‘I trust him, he won’t cheat.’
‘He forgot about my mother within months and he loved her more than you. How long will it take him to forget you?’
‘He won’t forget me, he’s returning tomorrow.’
‘Yeah, he is going to go to the ball himself. What do you think that means? He is ashamed of you, very ashamed. Why don’t he hold you in public? Why does he only hold you indoors? Why does he call you Cookie instead of Carlina or another nickname? Face it bitch, you will always be under my mother’s shadow. He took her out, showed the world who his woman is, but you are just a bedroom bitch, just to get f-cked.’ I said and laughed. She bit her lip and glared at me.
‘I will prove you wrong, I will go to Finland and show you all that Ame belongs to me.’
‘Oh boo ooh, good luck with that. I dare to see you at the ball tonight. If I see you there, then I will respect you for the rest of my life.’
‘Is that a promise?’
‘It’s a challenge,’ she turned and walked back into her car. I turned and ran back to the laboratory to meet River. Once I got there, I squealed. ‘River, keep a tab on Carlina, tell me when exactly she gets into her jet.’
‘What did you do?’ Ursula asked tiredly, she is pregnant, heavily pregnant.
‘I changed plans,’ I smirked.
An hour later, River told me she left for Finland. I had him find out Vee’s phone number and called her while tracking her down with the satellite. She picked up, I could see her walking out of a supermarket sadly. ‘Hello,’ he drawled sadly. Ursula sniffed along with me, she’s really alive. I looked at Ursula, already told her the plan.
‘Praxina Newton?’ She asked.
‘Yes…? Who’s this?’
‘I’m someone who have been working for you for years, someone who cares about you…’ She paused and looked at me. I nodded and she looked at the book I wrote down her line. ‘You just met Ame Allen, slept with him yesterday, am I right?’
Vee frowned as she headed to a car. ‘What do you want? Have you been stalking me?’
‘I have been watching you for months, keeping your identity secret so you can be away from him. Ame is a bad man, he doesn’t love you like you think he does…’
‘He does and his tattoos proves it.’
‘If he loves you so much, why is he dating someone else? Why did he forget about you and replaced you the moment you were taken? Why did he torment you? You see those scars on your body? He caused it. He let you get captured by his enemy as compensation for his crimes. When the enemy was done raping, beating and abusing you, he took you back and continued from where he stopped. Don’t get me wrong, Ame never laid a finger on you, not once. But because of him, you have been molested, raped, stabbed, shot at, yelled at and starved.
He have been sleeping with a lady he made a copy of you, her name is Carlina. She will be at his place this evening, he will send her back to hide her from you. I will send you proof, so you will know it’s real. Stay away from him, he will hide you from your father, he is obsess with you, not in love. Trust me Cookie, Ame Allen isn’t the man for you.’
‘You are lying,’ she said shakily.
‘Go to his place this evening, before he goes to the ball and see for yourself,’ River immediately screenshot the video and then sent some of dad’s and Carlina’s photos together. It’s a good thing I took a lot of pictures. ‘Your father will be coming for you, go with him and he will keep you safe.’
‘You…’ Ursula hung up. I wiped my tears, I won’t feel bad for what I’m doing.
‘River, send godfather the screenshot.’ I ordered, dialling his number.
‘Yolanda,’ Cephas called calmly.
‘Dad, I have good news!’ I squealed.
‘You won a lottery?’
‘I found your daughter! I found mom!’
‘Huh?’
‘The truth is that she is in Finland, completely memoryless. Dad don’t plan on letting you know so I’m backstabbing him, please don’t tell. I sent you a picture, see for yourself. She will be at his penthouse this evening, that is a good time to take her from him before it’s too late. I don’t know how you are going to do it, I leave it to you.’ I hung up and laughed.
‘Devil.’ Ursula said with a smirk.
I shrugged. ‘That’s my middle name.’
Ooh! I wonder how all this will go.
To be continued.
