To Hate Emmanuel Johnsons - Episode 35

 

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the delay. I am quite sick right now. I hope you enjoy!

********************

Tessy:

  For the first time in five years, i am back in warri. Its the death

anniversary of my parents but i am not here for that. I am here to

research Golden tiles company. For five years i have tried to decrypt

the diary which my father left in my bag . I tried decrypting it for

almost a year without success but four years ago when prosper's

grandmother remodeled her house and i saw the tiles cartons, the codes

looked familiar and then i realised that the diary was about that

tiles company. I remember my dad used to work there, so i knew there

must be a connection. The diary also had some names of chemicals

written in it and when i checked them online, i saw that it was

chemicals used in the production of illegal hard drugs and that was

when it clicked in my mind. Presumably, my dad was going to hand this

diary which was filled with details of drug trafficking to someone

that could sabotage them so he was killed. I would have given this

diary to the police, but i need more evidence. Pictorial evidence

catching them in the act

. This is the only way i can get back to my

life. Everything i have done since that horrible day has been towards

getting revenge. Revenge for my little olive and my mother. Prosper

has been a big help to me. He always visited me in lagos during

holidays and after a year, he moved to lagos to study. I am currently

in my 400 level at the university of lagos where i am studying civil

engineering. Prosper paid for everything. He also pays the private

investigator who helped search for olivia. We searched the whole of

abraka and environs but we didn't find her. I still wouldn't give up

hope. Sometimes i wonder why prosper is so good to me. He always

supports me in everything. Everything except my quest for revenge. He

has always tried to dissuade me in that aspect. He knows everything

they did to me but he has never supported my revenge. I always wonder

why. I am so lost in thoughts that walk into a guy in front of me. He

stopped abruptly so i could not stop our fall. We collide and the next

second, we are both on the floor and i am on top of me. This reminds

me of my fall with emmanuel years ago. 'Everything reminds you of

emmanuel' my subconscious says to me. I shut the memory down as the

guy under me, pushes me off. What a jerk, this is also his fault.

After he brushes the dirt off him, he looks at me with angry eyes and

berates me. I am stunned silent for a second, not because of his

impudence but because i can see his face and its emmanuel. Yes, its

been five years but he hasnt changed much. He is still tall fair and

goodlooking. Even more goodlooking than he was five years ago. What

are the chances that we would meet again, here in the airport?. I want

to walk away so he won't recognise me but i hear myself telling him,

its also his fault. I don't wait for his reply, i just rush to grab my

bag and again we argue about a bag. Why is it that out of all the

other people in the airport today, it has to be emmanuel's bag that

looked identical to mine?. I don't argue with him, i just grab the

other bag and hurry away from him. He didn't recognise me. I should be

happy about that as my identity is still hidden but it hurts that he

doesn't remember me. He probably doesn't notice my disappearance from

school years ago. I am quite different now as i have added weight but

if he cared enough, he would have seen the similarity, but i know he

hates me because of his mom. I sigh, then go out of the airport and

board a taxi. As i get to the hotel room, i get my keys from the

receptionist then move straight to my room. My encounter with emmanuel

has left my head pounding. I walk straight to room 401 without asking

for directions as prosper already told me about the hotel. He was the

one that booked it. Actually, he took care of every details for this

trip. He doesn't know that i am here for my revenge. He thinks i am

here to visit ese, my high school friend.

. It took a while for me to

persuade him to let me come here. I wonder how he will react once he

finds out about my IT which i applied for here in warri at a company

just beside golden tiles company. Prosper doesn't know about my

father's diary and the connection with golden tiles but he would know

my reasons are related to my revenge. I have to have my revenge so

that i could have peace of mind. I sigh then slip my key card into the

door. As soon as the door opens, i see red roses scattered around the

room. I abandon my suitcase at the door then walk cautiously into the

room. Oh my God, did i enter the wrong room?. Am i interrupting a

romantic dinner for someone else?. I reach the middle of the room and

see prosper kneeling by a romantic table setting with a rose and a

ring in his hands and i gasp. OH NO!
