SONIA

The morning has never seemed more beautiful and the day has never seemed s brighter…I had fallen asleep in the attic after Madam Kofi left and now, it was morning already…my heart beat for joy as I finally figured out what I was going to do.

All through the night, I had thought of Ben and Calvin and I knew what I had to do. I didn’t want to spend my life being lonely...besides, who was I deceiving, I had been crazy about the man of my dreams right from the beginning..in fact, I had lived my life hoping Ben would be the man of my dreams but now that I met him….there was nothing stopping me , was there?

I was going to dress up and look more beautiful than have I ever been ….i love him and I couldn’t wait to tell him….

*** *** ****

When I got into the room, I didn’t see him, I had actually thought he wasn’t there until I found him on the floor, he was sitting on the floor, shirtless as always with that ridiculous band on his upper arm as always… I was still going to ask him why he always had that on…

I walked closer and knelt beside him..his head was bent and he seemed to be sleeping . I shook my head, Calvin was a chicken entirely, I thought of waking him up but I drew closer to him and hugged me,raining plenty kisses on him until he stirred and woke up….

He looked drowsy and tired and his face looked swollen…I was surprised…

“Baby, are you okay?” I asked, drawing closer to him and placing a hand on his chin to tilt his face upwards.

He looked sad for the first time…he looked, weak…I could sense that something was greatly wrong….

“Calvin, baby, please say something….”

He said nothing, even his curled hair looked so unkept

. He instead brought his hand forward to caress my chin, giving a weak smile….there were some lines deep down below his eyes…

“Calvin,  I swear if you don’t tell me what is going on….”

Just then the door opened….

“Boss, the jet is ready.” Ruzo said as he opened the door.

I looked at Calvin who nodded.

“I will call you.” He said and Ruzo dispersed.

“Where are we going Cal?” I asked again but like before, he caressed my cheek again….

“You are so beautiful Sonia, so beautiful in and out….” He said weakly.

I held unto his hand as I looked at him curiously, my mind was not settled and I felt something was so wrong….

“I’m going to tell you somethings Sonia and I need you to listen to me carefully.”

“Okay.” I replied, nodding repeatedly.

Just then , he removed the band around his upper arm and I could see a symbol on his arm, it looked like a spiral, just like mine but it was turned the other way round….

I held my hand forward to touch it…it was engraved on his skin just like mine was….

“How…where…how?” I asked…

“I know you have been dreaming about me for some time, the thing is, I have actually been searching for you for many years….centuries…”

I frowned. “That wasn’t possible…”

I listened to him as he narrated everything to me. About his first love, Trister, about his brother, whom he had to kill out of jealousy and how he was doomed to walk the earth forever….this sounded so ridiculous but so was the song I had learned  from one of my nightmares, the tune I had played when I first played the piano for the first time-about a banished man, who was cursed with immortality and banished forever…..that story and that song, I had learned from my dream and it was quite stupid and ridiculous…but I believed him…I had been dreaming about him….i knew it was true…maybe it was the symbol that connected everything and made sense out of it, I don’t know..

“Calvin, I don’t care if you are Cain or whosoever, you are Calvin to me, you are a good person and I love you….”

He shut his eyes as I said that and bent his head again….

 “What do you mean? Everything you just said actually confirmed that we are supposed to be together. Don’t you see that Calvin?”

“Sonia, I care about you so deeply but you have to go….”

I felt like someone had stabbed me….what did he just say

“Go, Calvin, what are you saying? Go to where?”

“Go back home, to Nigeria.”

“No, Calvin, no, infact, I have a confession as well, I had been acting up for you to fall inlove with me , just like you did and now, I discovered, I am actually inlove with you and it feel so beautiful and….”

He was quiet for a while and then his countenance changed.

“You are only saying that because you are here with me and Ben is not here… I need you to leave Sonia.”

“No, Calvin ,please, wait, you are not listening to me, I had thought all these through, I don’t care, I don’t care if you are cursed or not cursed, I want to be with you…not with Ben….”

“You yourself said you acted up because….”

“We both acted up Calvin and it got real…”

“No its different.” He said, standing up and backing me. “Ruzo will come take you now, you will go back to Nigeria, go live a good  life with Ben and try to forget about me.”

I couldn’t understand what was happening. I stood up, my breath coming so rapid…I felt he was trying to be mean to make me go away because of the triad or Rozi or Sody, whatever her name was… we shared something deep last night and he hasn’t even said if he actually loved me or not…

“Calvin, please, you are not thinking, please, I am not going anywhere.”

“Yes you are and you are wasting time already!” He snapped at me so sudden that I shivered….

I didn’t understand why he was doing this….

Just then the door opened and three guards stepped in….

“I love you Calvin, please we can find a way to be together and…” He turned around and held my hand, looking right at me…"Don't you even love me at all?" I screamed in frustration.

“I do not love you Sonia! It was all a plan to get you to fall for me and now that it has happened, I am done with you….you need to go and don’t bother to come back! If you do not leave, I  will ask these men to bundle you up…”

By those words, I felt like a red hot coal was placed on my chest….

He wasn’t looking at me again, instead, he walked right out of the room, not looking back…

I felt my world tumbling down so fast and my heart shattering into pieces…how could he have said all that to me…?

The tears flooded so quickly and I followed the men out of the room….
