Let It Go - Episode 12

 

SO LET'S CHOOSE BRENCY. EHN, I HAVE A SPECIAL LIKING FOR BRENCY. THIS IS FOR ALL YOU SILENT READERS, I LOVE YOU SMALL (sticking my tongue out hehehe) OYA LET'S GO OOO. ENTER THE BUS!

“What happened?” Brent asked Nancy who kept shaking her head, tears running down her face. He placed his hands on her shoulder, facing her.

“Talk to me, I’m here” he said, staring into her eyes. 
 
 She calmed down a bit and began to talk.

“You were right, I wasn’t really myself this morning” . She used her left hand to wipe her face. Brent offered her his handkerchief and she took it.

“Thank you” she mumbled.

“Continue” he urged her.

“We had a fight this morning. She and Ken had a disagreement so Ken called me last night but it was very late so I went to her house early this morning”

“Ken, her fiancé, right?” Brent asked

“Yeah” she answered and continued. “As per Ken’s wishes I tried to talk to her but she insisted on calling off the wedding”

“Ah ah, is it that serious?” Brent interrupted, a surprised look on his face.

“It is o. Maddy strongly believes that Ken cheated on her and did not even give him any chance to explain himself.”

“Waoh, it really is serious

. But from what I’ve heard about that guy, I don’t think he could do that sha”

“Exactly” Nancy said in an almost-shout. 

“The guy explained everything to me. I know that he didn’t, but his fiancée says she is done with him. Funny thing, she said she was expecting it.”

“Wow! Sorry to say, but I think she is very insecure” Brent said, putting his hand on his chin.

“Don’t be sorry, she is” Nancy said with a sigh.

“Were you now able to persuade her?”

“Well, that was my ambition for going there but I wasn’t able to do that. Maddy insulted me that I am in no place to advise her because I’ve never been in any serious relationship with a man.”

“Oh My God!” Brent exclaimed. 

“Now, that’s really not fair. Aren’t you two best friends? Even if you weren’t, it’s really insulting”
 
 Nancy snorted “We kuku are o. she usually playfully jokes with it and it never disturbed me but today, I felt like she mocked me and it so hurt me that I just carried my bag and left her house”

“And that’s when you came to the hospital?”

“Yes” Nancy answered

“No wonder” Brent said, almost in a whisper

“No wonder what?” Nancy asked

“No wonder you looked unhappy” Brent replied and silence fell between them for a while.

“Ken brought her injured in his car” she continued. “He said he was on his way here when a man compelled him in a traffic obstruction to pick up the injured people and one of the three turned out to be Maddy”

“Wow, three?” He asked

“Yes” she answered. “She was involved in a motorcycle accident, so she, the bike man and the car driver were all rushed in”

 Brent sighed.

“I just wish I hadn’t left her home. I wished I had stayed back and withstood her insults. Maybe I would’ve convinced her to let us trek or take a cab. Maybe she wouldn’t have been involved in the accident. Maybe…”

 Brent interrupted her rant by enveloping her in a hug. She hugged him back and cried on his shoulder. He hugged her more tightly.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.

. Forget about the assumptions. There is absolutely nothing you could’ve done about it. Let’s trust God to do the best and pray He preserves her life so she can apologise to you and end the misunderstanding with Ken”

“You look beautiful all the time, even when you cry but my dear, I don’t like the sight”
 
 Brent added and elicited a little smile from her. He rubbed her back soothingly and she relaxed on his shoulder.
 
 They both stayed like that for a while before they were scattered by the voice of someone panting.

MADDY

 Why am I here?

 The question reverberated in my mind. 

 Why am I really here?

“Everyone I meet seem to hurt me in one way or the other. None of them really make happiness last a long time” I told the man, still seated on the floor.

“Happiness can’t last a long time without joy.” The man said exasperatedly

“So I am not happy because I am not joyful?” 

“Exactly” 

“You don’t sound joyful either. You sound tired and weary” 

“Your misery doesn’t make me happy” he said, almost immediately.

“What’s your business with me by the way? Plus, I’m not in misery” I said defensively.

“Are you not?” he asked in a more tired tone.

“Am I?” I asked and before I could receive any reply, the darkness got even thicker.
