Amara was already in my street and by then Amanda was already worried about my unsettling attitude. I told her a friend of mine was coming around to check up on me. And that I wanted to see her. She started to ask too many questions and I wasn’t comfortable with it… Besides I didn’t want to eat. So I left to go outside to welcome Amara. Amanda was waiting to see who it was. As soon as I heard the sound of the car outside I rushed to see who it was.
Amara came out of the car and jumped on my body and gave me a kiss. Amanda was watching through the window. I didn’t know what to say to Amara as she walked to the sitting room. As soon as she entered she saw Amanda and she greeted. Amanda responded in a manner that showed that she was very uncomfortable. Amara quickly went up to my room to drop her things and luggages that she would be going back to school with. And she saw Amanda’s small bag in the room. Amara came down to ask me some questions while Amanda was in the kitchen making some calls.
Amara was not happy and I tried to calm her down. She got infuriated when Amanda came up to her to ask her “hey! Who are you and what are you doing here”… Amara answered “I am Amara and I’m here to see my boyfriend”… Amanda then landed her a slap. At that point I was mad. “how dare you slap her. Are you stupid?”… Amara left with tears in her eyes to go home. I tried to stop her but she wouldn’t. Amanda kept shouting at the top of her voice and kept raining insults “so this is the bitch that has been making you happy.
So this is the girl that made you push me away. I thought your dad and mom had driven her out of this town. But you kept her right? You’ll pay for this. You’ll surely regret this”… She then picked her phone and started to dial numbers. She called her dad, then my dad and mom and my sisters. Amara left crying uncontrollably. I couldn’t stop her. I turned to Amanda and told her “hey you pls leave my house now. I don’t want to see you or anyone here”. She said she wasn’t leaving. Soon my dad and Amanda’s dad started calling me.

I didn’t pick the call. My mom called me and I didn’t pick. I immediately called Amara’s mother and she told me that Amara wasn’t home yet. I called Ijeoma to tell her what happened and she was mad at me. I know I messed up but what could I do. Amara was missing. I called Amara but she wouldn’t pick. She told me not to call her again before she left my house. My heart was racing and I couldn’t stay any longer. Just as I wanted to drive out to go look for Amara my mother came into my house. She was so mad at me. I tried to talk to her and she slapped me.
Tears came running from my eyes. My own mom slapped me because of Amanda. Then my dad and Amanda’s dad came in later. They spoke with so much hatred that I started to panic. My dad vowed to deal with Ijeoma my best friend and Amara and her family. The senator, Amanda’s dad called his security immediately to order them to go to Ijeoma’s house to arrest Amara and her mom and even Ijay. I was mad.
I tried calling Ijay but my dad took my phone away from me. I have never seen so much hatred in my dad’s eyes. The senator threatened me. He kept saying alot of things and that was when I discovered that he had a hand in all the properties my dad had acquired for me. I realized that the sentor and my family had planned everything so that I would marry Amanda. Amanda started saying alot of things too. I shouted at her and Amanda raised her hand and gave me a dirty slap. And she tried to even do it again.
I was mad and at that point I started to cry. The senator threatened to withdraw all the benefits from our family especially what he had done for me. My sisters came in with my little cousin sister. Everybody faced me. My little cousin sister tried to defend me and my mom slapped her. “so you’re an accomplice and you knew about all this and you kept your mouth shut right. That is why you begged to stay with him right? I will deal with you” my mom shouted to my cousin.
She cried and cried. How can my family be this wicked and inconsiderate. It was as if my world has ended. My phone started to ring and it was Ijay calling. But my dad had my phone in his hands and he picked it up to hear what Ijay would say. “hello bestie there is fire on the mountain o. Some armed security men just stormed my house now and they are taking away everyone at home… Hello… Hello…” and my dad cuts in “Ijay I will personally deal with you.
You’re a very stupid girl” and just as he was yet talking the senator took the phone away from him and said to Ijay “Ijay or whatever you call your name, after dealing with you and that wretched family you’ll know that I am the Senator”… I cried and knelt down to beg but no one would listen to me. They went to Amara’s mom’s shop and took her. Then Amara started to call me and my dad picked up again “you stupid girl. I thought you and your wretched family have gone to the village forever… This is your last”…and he ended the call. What is really happening to me? What is all this? Am I still a kid? All these crazy thoughts kept coming into my head and I was becoming crazy.
I was at that point where a normal gentle guy would go crazy. The white people would call it “moment of insanity”… I ran temporarily mad and I didn’t know what I was doing anymore. I was ready for the worst. So I got up and was leaving the house. Amanda tried to stop me but I pushed her away. My mom and dad called out to me but I can’t hear anyone. So they instructed the gate man not to open the gate for me. He saw the look on my face and saw that it was dangerous for him not to do so. Besides I was ready to pull down the gate with my car. I drove out with the speed of light…
I was on too much speed and I wasn’t thinking. I lost my mind and didn’t know where I was headed. I remembered how few months ago I was having the best moment of my life with Amara. I remembered all the good and amazing plans I had for her and her family. Now I’ve put not only Amara’s family in danger but my best friend Ijay who just wanted to help out. I have caused more pains for my friends. It would have been better if I had allowed Amara and her family to return to the village. Oh God! What is all this and what do I do now? I was lost in thoughts that I didn’t see an oncoming bus. Before I came back to reality it was way too late… I had a head on collision with the bus and boommm!!! There was temporal darkness…
