Unfulfilled Promises

Season 1

Episode 63

As the thought that Eric had also written her poems and sent her gifts in more rom-ntic ways before he had left for the States entered her mind, she quickly picked up her phone to call Dave They made up over the phone and he promised to visit that evening.

She was preparing lunch when Collins called She hissed and ignored it but when he continued calling, she answered it, He informed her that he was outside She wanted to leave him there but thought against it It wouldn’t be good for Dave to meet him there.

She was shocked when she saw him outside the gate One of his eyes was almost closed and his upper lip was swollen.

“Collins, what happened to you?” She shouted.

He smiled a little. “Your boyfriend punched me two days ago.”

Oleng almost burst into laughter She however controlled herself. “I’m so sorry. I’ve never known Dave to be a violent person.”

“It’s okay. It’s even better now That’s the reason why I didn’t call for two days But Oleng you didn’t even dim it fit to call when I didn’t call.”

“I’m so sorry. How did it happen?”

“I don’t know how he got to know my housenImmediately I opened the door, he rushed me I couldn’t even throw a single punch,He warned me to stay away from you.”

“I’m so sorry.” Oleng was beginning to feel guilty.

“No problem, my love. I would have done the same thing had you being my girl That’s the only reason why I won’t involve my father One word from him and your guy will find himself behind bars.” Collins bragged.

“Your father? I thought you didn’t know him.”

He smiled arrogantly. “I didn’t until a year ago He abandoned my mum when he found out she was pregnant but after three wives and ten girls, he came in search of me He’s filthy rich. He’s bribing me with money to gain my affections.”

Oleng couldn’t care less. “Really?”

He grinned. “Yep. Money isn’t my problem anymore.”

Oleng could only stare at him.

“Oleng, I haven’t given up on you This,” he pointed to his swollen eye and swollen lip. “won’t deter me in my pursuit. I’m prepared to die for you.”

“Collins…” She began but was amazed when he walked away He entered his jeep and drove offShe didn’t bother trying to stop him because of the food she was cooking.

She shrugged and went in but couldn’t help laughing when she remembered his swollen face Dave had done that? Amazing! Dave, the gentleman?

She noticed that the knuckles on his right hand were bruised when he came to visit that evening She held herself from asking about it until he was about leaving.

“What happened to your hand?”

“Which hand?” He prevaricated.

“The one you’ve been hiding from me all evening.”

He laughed a little. “This?” He raised the hand. “Nothing really. I bruised it in the office.”

“Really?With what?” She feigned ignorance.

“I…ah…one equipment like that.”

“Hmmm…must have been a very hærd equipment. Please be careful next time.”

He laughed and breathed out in relief until she said, “Collins came to see me this afternoon.”

His face coloured in anger.

“I’ll kill that guy!” He got up and made to leave but she stopped him.

“He has promised to leave me alone.” She lied She didn’t want Dave behind bars.

Tension left his body then He grinned.

“Had I known a good beating was all he needed to stop him from disturbing you, I would have done it sooner.’

“But Dave, how could you have done that?”

“You must have realized by now that I’m very possessive of you.”

“So possessive you had to engage in a fight?”

“Fight?No, a beat down.” He grinned while she eyed him, trying not to smile.

“Angel, it’s a man thing. You won’t understand.”

She shrugged and saw him off.

 

Collins continued calling her but she made sure her phone was either on silent mode or switched off whenever she was with Dave.

On her birthday, while she was dressing up for a date with Dave and her friends, Debbie and Jenny, she received a call from Collins who told her to come outside She grumbled but went outside to tell him to leave.

She got the shock of her life when she got outside.

Collins was standing beside a murano jeep dangling keys and smiling as if he had won a lottery On the windscreen of the car was an inscription,

“Will you marry me?”

And of course, that was when Dave came with his Toyota Camry.

Dave quickly swerved his car to the curb like a driver in an action flick and practically jumped out of it He walked briskly to where Oleng and Collins were standing, staring at each other.

“Angel, what’s he doing here?” he asked his stunned girlfriend.

Before she could reply, Collins leaned on the car and lazily said, “Dude, isn’t it obvious?”

Oleng saw Dave flex his fingers and knew he intended hitting Collins She quickly held his hand.

“Please Dave. This wh0le thing will end right now.”

Dave gave Collins a murderous look but kept quiet.

Oleng looked uneasily around her. Passersby were beginning to get interested in the wh0le scenario She knew she had to end it here despite the fact that it would break someone’s heart.

Episode 64

She walked up to Collins,He stood straight, smiling.

“Collins,” she began softly. “I want to apologize for toying with your emotions. Back in school, I was really getting to like you until you spoke those harsh words to me even after I opened up to you about my past You called me a wolf in sheep’s clothing I was innocent of that accusation yet it didn’t stop you from calling me such.

Well, here standing before you now is a real wolf in sheep’s clothing I really don’t feel anything for you I used you to make my boyfriend jealous I don’t love you, I don’t want your money or your gifts and I don’t want to marry you.”

Dave gave a whoop and came to stand beside her.

Collins turned away and hit his fist on the hood of the car He was like that for awhile and when he turned around, Oleng’s mouth dropped open.

Tears were running down his eyes Dave snickerednHe believed it was just for a show He wasn’t moved but Oleng was deeply moved She really hadn’t meant to hurt him.

Collins went to his car to remove the tarpaulin he had used to cover the murano jeep He spread it haphazardly over the car, hooked the car back to his own jeep and drove off.

“Trying to get me jealous, hmm?” Dave chuckled after they couldn’t see the car anymore.

Oleng turned to him with tears in her eyes. “I feel so bad I really didn’t mean to hurt him.”

Dave held her hand and led her in,side the compound away from the view of their spectators,He hugged her.

“I know but he obviously hurt you first. What happened by the way?”

Oleng shook her head There was no way she would ever tell Dave what she told Collins Once bitten, twice shy Dave would also kick her out of his life.

“Story for another day.” she sadly told him.

“Angel, please don’t feel bad today of all days His tears weren’t real They were just to make you feel guilty and you fell for it He’d make it in Nollywood.”

Oleng couldn’t help laughing at that Dave smiled.

Oleng had a good time with Dave and her friends She came back home exhausted She had her bath and was about saying her night prayers when her phone beeped. A message had just entered She smiled. It was probably a late birthday wisher It was Collins.

“Oleng, I’ve got to be angry with you for what you told me earlier in the day but I realize I have no right whatsoever to be I’m at fault in everything I lost you due to my own stupidity.

For the first time in my life, I had a heart to heart talk with my father and he made me see reasons to give you up and accept defeat Dave is a lucky guy.

I’ll be leaving for London next week for my masters I had planned for you to join me there but I guess that’s wishful thinking now I wish you the best in life.

I’ll never forget you.”

Tears came to Oleng’s eyes but she smiled through them as she remembered good times with him She’d return the box of gifts to him.

****,,,

(*Haters of Collins 😂 , this is the end of Collins on Unfulfilled Promises So make una free d guy abeg funny enough he actually found his V-rgin wife in London but he never forgot Oleng)

******,,,,

The entire incident with Collins drew Dave and Oleng closer Oleng didn’t try to make Dave jealous anymore by refusing to give her number to guys who asked her out.

Her service year was finally over Dave took her out to celebrate and later took her to his house.

“I’m so happy. No more ‘Yes Sir’ and ‘Yes Ma.’” Oleng said laughing happily as she sat down heavily on the sofa in his house.

“Don’t be too sure After all, you’d still work under someone.” he said as he put on his sound system.

“The way I’m feeling right now, I want to set up my own business and be my own boss.”

Dave laughed. “What kind of business do you want to set up?”

“Anything, I don’t care. I don’t want to work in a bank. It’s too tedious and time consuming.”

“You can work somewhere else. Frankly speaking, I’m happy at your decision because I want a wife who’d have time for our kids Let me go and get us something to drink.” he said and walked away, leaving his girlfriend bamboozled.

This was the first time Dave had hinted on marriage He had never spoken of marriage around her and she had never thought of it Would she like to marry him? She asked herself She had to be sincere in saying she loved him better than ever now after the wh0le Collins’s issue but was the love strong enough for marriage?
