Best Friend - Episode 6

 

I sat in my parlour angry at nothing in particular, Kunle, how dare he say such things about my Paris, but thinking about it he did have a point, after all he should know more about women than the both of us been the womanizing scum bag that he is. I have never really liked Tunde or his relationship with Paris but I had never let my mind settle on the fact that they could be having sex together, I was just jealous some one else had more attention than me. I decided it was time i ended this little saga with Paris but first i had to drop my pride aside and apologize to Tunde, he was Paris friend anyway and should be my friend too after all she has managed to put up with my friends all this years especially Kunle that they never went along, I sometimes wonder what's with them anyway.

The next morning, I drove to see Paris but first to stop by Tundes place and get this done with, I just have to shake off whatever doubt I had after all she has never given me a reason to worry not even when we were seperated by distance during our one year service to our country . Paris would be glad am doing this i thought as i drove into the hotel that housed Tunde and his models. "I totally understand and I think its the right thing to do, he is your blood, and you know what they say about blood and water" Tunde said reassuringly "Am a little scared, I don't want to do something stupid, its a whole lot to take in such short time" Paris replied "You won't ,don't worry yourself, go see the man before he dies please, by the way what his name? Did you ask?" "Yeah its Ruhollah al-Awlaki." "What!! Awlaki is your grand father?" "Yes, what, you know him?" "That's like the most powerful Muslim Imam now living, he is a respected scholar around the world, am a huge fan " Tunde said excitedly "Oh really" Paris said not impressed "I got to go now, my flight is in two hours time, mum must be waiting for me already" "OK but I do hope you have talked to that annoying boyfriend of yours?" "I don't even get what's with him his number has been unavailable, but am pretty sure his friend should have told him I checked on him" "I don't think its a good idea not to tell him about something this big, you are travelling out of the country for Christ sake" "I will settle everything when am back besides he has to stop acting like a child, I already have enough worries right now". " I see no need to be worried" Tunde said as he pulled her to himself for a hug seeing the wrinkle on her fore head that appeared whenever she was really worried or nervous

. I just stood there not believing my eyes, "Paris," I shouted, she shivered out of his hands "what do you think you are doing?" She stood mute obviously confused. I turned,almost running as I sped out, my body was vibrating with anger one more minute there and a man would have died certainly not me. She ran after my car as I James Bond out of the hotel.

A knock on my door disrupted my thoughts, certainly in no mode for any visitor I ignored it but the persistent knocking had me open the door. My eyes met his, it was no other than Kunle. "Guy am sorry just hear me out" I walked back where I sat, allowing him let himself in. "Listen man am sorry how I came at you, but you have to understand that as my brother I always have to look out for you" "What exactly do you mean by looking out? saying shit about Paris?" "Tunde is not gay" he said as a statement of fact. "I wasn't sure that's why I said nothing all this while". " How do you know this?" "I saw him at one of the clubs the other night and well from every indication he can't be gay, plus I did some findings about him". " I went to apologize to him" I said slowly, " I saw her, my Paris, cuddled in his hands...." "Damm, I knew it, I knew it" he said cutting me. "Its obvious something is between the two I mean why else would she claim he is gay" My eyes swelled with tears as the anger melted into depressing sadness, I can't believe am crying for a girl I vowed never to do that but I guess the cut is deeper when the love is deeper. "Come on man don't do this, you should be happy you are finding out before its too late, am really sorry but she doesn't deserve you" "I wish I could just lay my hands on that bastard right now" I said "Well I don't knw how to say this but from what I heard they both travelled to Egypt today, going to have a good time together am sure". Dustan rushed in, after my text to him, With Kunle rushing to the hospital for some emergency I really needed someone around before I do something stupid. " Hey man what's up are you OK, I got your text what do you mean its over between you guys" I just sat there looking at the now half bottle of wine, even I was surprised how fast I was breaking down in bits, I never knew I was this emotional or maybe I loved her too much. "Wait I don't understand, so you walked in on them hugging and then so what?" Dustan said after I managed to in between sobs tell him what I thought I saw. "She is cheating on me with that, that fool, I just knew it" "I really don't get this, are you been serious right now? I never knew you were this insecure." He said laughing "Tunde is not gay, you think am been paranoid, but tell me why she would lie about that". " How do you know he is not gay, with a gay measuring scale or what?" Dustan said still amused which is making me angrier," I mean can you just listen to yourself right now, have you even talked with her" "Kunle confirmed it. How can I talk with her when she is out of the country with that jerk and her number is of course not gonna go through" "Fred my friend how stupid can you possibly be, you want to throw away a four year relationship because of a hug and some speculation by our idiot friend? I can't believe you are letting Kunles bullshit get in your head, wake up man, wake up." "Get out of my house" I said, i could see the disbelief in his eyes, even I didn't know where that came from,he asked "You said what?" "Don't make me repeat myself, you are not helping right now so I see no need for you to be here"

I continued "I will let you be, it must be all that alcohol talking and not you". I must be loosing it I thought, I just sent my friend out damm Fred damm I mumbled as I sipped more wine. Kunle sat smiling to himself as he basked in his little victory "one down, one to go" he said. This was becoming way easier than he thought.

. He removed the complimentary card from his breast pocket and dialled, "my friend, good day, how was your flight..... OK that great.... how is the beautiful Cario?...... OK I will let you be for now, you seem to be a very busy man, thank you." Hakim was fortunate to have met Kunle weeks ago, he made his almost impossible task so easy, Kunle was practically a God sent, if not for him it would have been impossible to find the long lost daughter of his master and instructor.

Kunle and Fred had been the best of friends for the longest of times, but to Kunle, Fred was not just a friend but also a competitor, they would be best of friends as far as Fred was the dependent one. Kunle deserved the best and Paris was the best, he had waited long enough to have her. With knowledge of her grandfather's wealth as extra motivation he was set to get her.
