. This made him send spies, Unfortunately Onyeka accepted to be one of them because he really knew that he was looking for. His intention was just to bring their love to man end of their love if really they were in love, because none of them was sure of all they had been telling Chike.
The salubrious air blew across the beach. The serenity of the low water level sent a hopeful message of survival to the marine ecosystem. Sitting by the side of the beach could pacify a mailing nay, troublesome mind driven by the wind of love and passion. The recrudescence of the beachcomber whom Jennifer and Cyril had met earlier on the beach reminded them of the presence of the other creatures around.
The two sat still with a bottle of wine on the table before them discussing and laughing, when Onyeka came unknowingly from their back, took snaps of them with his digital camera of different position even when Cyril carried Jennifer on his hands playing on the beach.
Chike was with other boys in the Brick City Eating Café when, Onyeka came in with the pictures. He showed them to Chike. He was so mad that he roared angrily like a hungry lion. There he swore that heads must roll for he really confided in Cyril and trusted him but what Cyril could use give him in return was to date his own blood sister.

. Still on that matter Onyeka added insult to injury when he said that from his findings it was Chiboza, Jennifer’s best friend that engineered the relationship. This then gave Chike the room to confess that never liked Jennifer relationship with Chiboza. He had been watching Chiboza as a prostitute but had never found anything reasonable to accuse her of.
Onyeka continued by bringing out his phone and switching on the phone to the phone recorder where he recorded a discussion between Emmanuel and him. Everything that they discussed was just a blasphemy.
“now what do you say heard Jennifer and Chiboza discuss in the restaurant inside  your school compound” Onyeka asked Emmanuel in the phone recorder.
“Anyway I was in the restaurant eating when the two friends after some time of silence, Chiboza told Jennifer to give her reasons why she should not go to bed with Cyril. Jennifer gave some reason but Chiboza was able to convince her on the contrary as the time he was there”. Emmanuel added.
Chike after hearing this remained speechless and motionless for sometime and then moved out without telling anybody anything.
Emmanuel was Onyeka Paternal cousin and a third year student of engineering in the University of Filey. He followed up Cyril’s movement in the school. But it seemed every, plan was useless. This then made Onyeka to plead with Emmanuel to say all he said leaving the phone recorder on.
Before Jennifer house Cyril dropped her off and after some minutes of lovely conversation, he zoomed off while Jennifer moved staggardly and entered the gate. Chike had been before that gate, so you have grown that men can now carry you the way they liked and then drop you right before your father’s house“. Chike angrily questioned her.
