To Hate Emmanuel Johnsons - Episode 43

 

Emmanuel:

Being in this room knowing that tessy is just in the other room is

pure torture. I toss and turn restlessly on my bed then stand up and

walk to the door. I place my hand on the handle to open it but stop

myself. I usually have more self control than this. This is all

tessy's fault . Why did she have to look deliciously stunning.Moments

ago when i had her against her door, i really wanted to kiss her but i

stopped myself. Barely. I knew that if i kissed her, i wouldn't be

able to stop there and knowing tessy, she isn't the kind of girl that

would allow that. My tessy is the kind of girl you savour, not rush.

She is the kind of girl you marry and i intend to do just that as soon

as i get the final confirmation from my private investigator that she

really is my tessy. I am so sure that she's the one but her reaction

with olivia was weird. Poor olivia. She must have missed her sister so

much. I see my phone light up and i pick it up from the night stand.

Its a text from my private investigator asking me to check my whatsapp

for the pictures of tessy from five years ago in lagos he sent. Okay,

this is it

. I'll finally know the truth. I'll finally confirm that she

is infact my tessy. I quickly put on my data connection and i receive

the notification for the whatsapp message. I go to click on and i

notice my hand is shaking. I am so nervous. What if she isn't my

tessy?. I cant bear the pain of losing her again. And olivia, who

would take care of her?. I take a deep breathe and click it but then

turn my face at the last minute. Come on Manuel, stop being a coward.

The only way to know the truth is to look at the message.

"Ok, i can do this. I can do this. I can--"i hear a door close and i

stop. I put my phone in my pocket then walk out of my room to inspect

the noise. I see that the door is closed. Maybe i just imagined the

noise. I turn to go back to my room and that's when i notice that

tessy's room door is ajar. I walk inside and its empty. Where could

she be going by this time when she doesn't even know her way around

this place?. Thankfully, i still have my clothes on so i hurry out of

the hotel room to catch up with her. I have to stop her. Its not safe.

As soon as i get downstairs, i see her board a taxi. Not able to stop

her, i rush to the car i hired for our stay here. I enter it and zoom

off after them. I want to know where she is off to by this time of the

night. I follow them for a while and realise that we are turning in

circles. I am about to give up when they divert into a side street and

park in front of the hospital where olivia is. What is she doing

here?. I park my car some distance away and kill my headlights to

avoid being caught. I wait for the taxi to exit the building then i

hop out of my car and enter the hospital. I don't see tessy

immediately but when i walk towards olivia's room, i see the both of

them walking out of the room. I notice that they are walking silently,

like they don't want to get caught. Now i am confuse. Why are they

sneaking out?. What do i do?. If she isn't my tessy then this could be

kidnapping. I hide behind a wall and think of my next course of

action. I notice a nurse walking toward us. If the nurse turns the

next bend, she would catch them. I cant stand the thought of tessy

getting caught. She could be arrested for kidnapping. I have to

distract the nurse while they escape. I walk fast towards the nurse

then grab her hand and turn her towards me.

"the heavens must be missing an angel" i say and try to give her my

best smile but it comes out like a grimace because the truth be told,

her face is the farthest from an angel's. She looks confuse as she

stare at me.

"have any body told you how beautiful you are?" i say.

Read " Beautiful Mask " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. She goes to say

something but then we hear a notice behind us. Olivia just hit her leg

on a chair. The nurse goes to turn her face towards the noise and in

desperation, i grab her hideous face and kiss her. Bleh. She struggles

against me but i hold her until tessy and olivia are safely out then i

let her go. The next thing i know, am getting punched in the face. It

hurts like she had metal in her fist. My nose drips blood and i look

at her hand and that's when i notice the wedding ring. Oops.

"i am sorry, you are just too beautiful, i couldn't resist" i say and

tried to placate her but she's hysterical.

"security! Security!" she screams and i run away, leaving her there

before i get arrested for molestation.

As i get to the hospital entrance, i just see the tail light of a car

driving away but before i get to my car to follow them, the car is out

of sight.

"shit!" i scream and punch my fist on the steering wheel. Why did i

have to park this far now i have missed them. My phone chimes in my

pocket and i bring it out to see a Facebook message notification. Its

from tessy to favour lee

tessy;Hi.I hope you are well now. I don't know if I'll be able to chat

with you again after today so i just wanted to get in touch with you

one final time.goodbye
