Thirst For Revenge Episode 18 – 20

THIRST FOR REVENGE

EPISODE 18
Zyambo’s narration continues.

Scene: Doreen’s house

I walked into Doreen’s spacious living room, holding two files with my right hand.

I was very tired and hungry, but kept a smiling face as if all was well. Gently I quietly lowered myself on a couch, breathing deeply.

“are you alright?” Doreen asked with care, drawing close to me.

“yea I’m, though hungry” I answered playfully.

“well breakfast is ready. You are very lucky I’m eating late today. You would have missed it, let’s go to the dinning table” she invited sweetly. I stared at her, shook my head and smiled.

“don’t tell me you are ready to share your breakfast with me?” I asked jokingly,

“I beg stand up. It’s just bread that I’m having, which you know I can’t finish alone. So get your lazy ass up” she smiled and headed to the dinning room. I quickly followed her, many thoughts running through my head.

She obviously was the kind of woman I needed to make my wife. She really understood me a lot and we behaved like age mates which made being with her very exciting. Moreover I felt more like a man with her.

As if she knew what I was thinking. She asked me a very surprising question as she prepared tea.

“hope Luyando cooks?” she suddenly asked,

“hmmm yea, she cooks whenever it pleases her but that won’t be a problem because I know she will be getting our home filled with house-helps” I answered with a smile.

“hmmm that’s cool” she murmured and said nothing else…

DEBORAH’S HOME

Luyando’s story continues…

Deborah led me to a well furnished room she prepared for my arrival. I was so astonished at the beautiful well designed room that I gasped with bright eyes.

“I hope you like it?. You are a big girl with high taste” she smiled to me. I nodded happily.

“of course I love it. It just looks like a presidential suite. Oh my God” I thanked her, my eyes going round the room.

Everything was just in there. Super blankets, nice curtains, state of the art electronics, a working bathtub. Infact nothing was lacking.

“I just love the colour and settings of everything. You will have to design the house you are getting for me like this. I will like to surprise Zyambo with the house” I said happily, while she rolled her eyes and smiled.

I calmly sat on the gigantic bed and dialled Zyambo’s number which he answered on my fourth call.

“hey dear what took you so long to answer my call. Where went you?” I asked curiously,

“i’m so sorry dear, I never knew my phone was on silent mood. I’m really very busy with a proposal I’m submitting with my colleague on monday” he explained.

“your colleague!, Is Doreen there with you?” I suddenly asked without knowing what pushed me. He kept quiet for some seconds.

“yes she is” he answered slowly, leaving me feeling extremely bad with his answer. I instantly hung up and exchanged glances with Deborah who I knew overheard everything.

“that loser is with him” I murmured, almost breaking down in tears.

I had nothing against the little girl at the moment but I hated everything about her…

“Once I get better and strong, I’m going to have a very long talk with that silly girl” I hissed angrily, shaking with rage.

“you mean Doreen?” Deborah asked curiously, softly taking my phone.

“yea and Zyambo is also not left out. They think i’m stupid. Well they are in for a good surprise” I answered angrily.

“you got to be careful and diplomatic my dear or you might end up pissing off your Zyambo. As it stands you have no strong evidence to back your suspicion, so I advice you stay cool and study the situation. That Doreen of a girl looks very smart and sharp. I also know guys hate being spied on. It’s better you work things out with Zyambo since he is your everything” she advised, calming me with her words. I looked at her, smiled and nodded.

“okay maybe I should just lie down and sleep over it” I said with a weak smile._

Scene: Doreen’s apartment.

Zyambo’s story continues.

“I think Luyando is mad at me because I told her we are together” I calmly said to Doreen as I dropped my phone {after answering Luyando’s phone call}.

“well it’s understandable” she smiled without looking at me. All her attention were on the report she was preparing. I breathed deeply and joined her.

It took us close to three hours to finish the work. By the time the work was completed we were hungry over again.

She had to prepare a delicious beans which we ate with great appetite.

“so what do you think about my relationsh¡p with Luyando?” I suddenly asked. She looked up at me for a second before shaking her head.

“should you be asking me such a question?” she asked, trying to dodge my question.

“of course because you are my friend” I answered with a smile.

“as long as you guys are happy together what do you expect me to say?. Yea your relationsh¡p with her is cool” She answered intelligently.

“supposing I’m your brother will you approve of it?” I asked curiously. She froze for a while before standing up.

“what are you trying to achieve huh?” she asked with a slightly raised tone.

“just tell me please” I begged.

“of course you know I won’t approve of it. Your relationsh¡p with her is just one sided. You do all the submitting which shouldn’t be. Please don’t ask me anymore questions” she begged.

I looked down with shame in my eyes. I couldn’t believe my relationsh¡p with Luyando could be so easily read.

“If Doreen could read out the facts so easily, how about my parents. What will they say when I finally take Luyando to them?” I wondered miserably. But there was nothing I could do about it. I felt it was my fate to Marry Luyando whether I liked it or not.

After all I owed her my life….

EPISODE 20
Doreen’s house.

Zyambo’s story continues

“well there is nothing I can do. Luyando gave me a new life, which you very well know. Abandoning her at this stage is very unheard of. I have no choice” I murmured, scratching my head.

“I have no right to be discussing this issue with you. Just do whatever that pleases you. It’s your life after all” Doreen said coldly, forcing me to stare at her with worry.

“are you upset?” I asked curiously,

“of course not, but I hate dumb guys, you rather subject yourself to a life of slavery and misery than facing your Tessy like a man” she scre-med, breathed deeply and headed to the kitchen. I watched her walk away, not knowing what to do.

“sometimes doing the right thing can be very wrong. No I can’t just face Luyando. What do I tell her?. No no no, I can’t. Yes my feelings for her isn’t as it used to be but I can’t break up with her even if it’s the right thing to do. No no no” I reasoned, stood up and went after Doreen, joining her in the kitchen.

“hey dear. I’m sorry to upset you. Let’s just forget about my problem. I’m a big jerk. How about we go out and catch some fun huh. You know all work and no play isn’t good for the body” I said sweetly, holding her hand. She turned, looked at me and smiled.

“very well, where are you taking me?” she asked with bright eyes.

DEBORAH’S HOME,

Luyando’s story continues…

I woke up with a jolt, lazily grabbed my phone and checked the time which showed 7:15pm. I gasped.

“jeez, I can’t believe I have been sleeping all day” I murmured, yawned, turned on the bed and dialled Zyambo’s number. He answered moments later, but there was too much noise in the background.

“hey I’ll call you back. I’m in a noisy place” I heard him say before hanging up. I hissed, feeling very bad.

Very early the next day. Zyambo showed up at Deborah’s house, surprising me a great deal. He gently came to my room, sat on the bed and k-ssed me.

“I called you last night but you didn’t answer. So I decided to see you first thing today. How are you my love?” he asked.

I stared into his eyes and bit my l-ips.

“let’s stop pretending. A lot is going wrong in our relationsh¡p and I have strong reason to believe that your colleague Doreen is influencing you a lot. I hope she isn’t more than a colleague to you?. It’s time to choose between me and her who you actually want. I’m a woman of honour and I hate playing games. Tell me who do you choose?” I asked seriously. He drew back with surprise, instantly growing pale.

“what’s wrong with you sweetheart. Are you out of your mind or what. How do I choose between my colleague and you. Hope you won’t be asking me to quit my job next because I won’t. I can’t stand your over- authoritative behaviour anymore. This got to stop or I quit this relationsh¡p” he angrily scolded, leaving me gasping with shock.

I furiously held him by the collar, ready for a fight. My head was filled with anger and hate.

“what did you just say?” I scre-med, almost choking him. Fortunately Deborah ran into the room that moment to save the day….

“I’m sorry but i’m leaving” he finally muttered, causing more damage to my already wounded heart with his words.
