SWEET SOUND:  EPISODE 22

What are you thinking?” Chioma asked, breaking me away from my thought. I
smiled at her, she drew close and kissed me strongly.
“December is only two months away. How about we fix our traditional
marriage on Christmas day” i suggested. Her eyes grew bright with
happiness but quickly died down. “but have you forgotten?” she suddenly
asked,
“forgotten about what?” i murmured curiously and stared at her.

I knew i
never told her that our relationship was at risk if i failed to make
peace with Mary. All i told her was that the pastor advised me to settle
my differences with anyone i had wronged, {cleverly hiding the
consequences if i failed to do so from her}. “you are fixing it on
December, forgetting that your bank account is almost empty. How do you
intend pulling it off?” she asked. I dropped my face and shrugged with a
shoulder.
“there is nothing impossible to do, what matters is determination.
Moreover i can manage and save up my salaries till December which i
believe will be enough. Besides we are yet to receive last month’s
salary” i answered. She shook her head and rolled her eyes.
“for your mind abi??. Anyway we are into this together. I have more than
enough money in my account.

I can assist you, but my bride price must
be paid with your own money” she offered and pulled my right ear
playfully.
I couldn’t believe what i heard. I was so much overcame with joy. I
never believed she could come all out to make such a wonderful offer.
“you are simply the best, with each passing day i love you. i love more
and more and i will always love you unconditionally” i proclaimed,
carried her to my bedroom and threw her on the bed.
“wow easy, don’t get nasty” she laughed, quickly undressing herself. I
pulled off my clothes, wore a rubber and jumped on her. In no time i was
Inside her, riding to missisipi with joyful abandon, while she sang in
my ears, encouraging me with her wondrous moans….
Oh there is nothing compared to the happiness derived from a wonderful
woman….. I had only one obstacle which was Mary and i was caught between
seeking her out by all means or discarding the pastor’s advice and
daring whatever it might result to. But I couldn’t just risk gambling
with Chioma’s life.

Very early the next day, i dropped Chioma at her apartment before
heading over to Mary’s house. I was very determined to talk and probably
settle issues with Mary that morning before any other thing.
As i drove, the terrible dream i had the previous night came flashing
back in my head.

I shivered and drove on, praying silently.
After the wonderful sex I enjoyed with Chioma the previous evening, we
had a quick dinner before returning to the bedroom for a good night
sleep because we were very tired and exhausted. Unfortunately instead of
sleeping peacefully, i saw myself in a burial ceremony of a young lady.
I couldn’t make out her face, but neither Mary nor Chioma were present
in the dream.

I soon sprang up from sleep and never slept afterwards.
It was an under-statement saying that my soul was deeply troubled. My
guilty conscience, the fear of the pastor’s revelation and Jboy’s life
that was ended abruptly weighed heavily on my mind. I couldn’t believe
one nasty sex ride could cause so much havoc in my life. Yea i frankly
knew that i took the game too far by taking it to the church. That was
the beginning of all my problems.
“what was i even thinking. A church of all places” i scratched me head
and sighed with regret.

I soon got to Mary’s house and made my way to her apartment, knocking
quietly on the door. Her elder sister appeared and stared at me with
surprise.
“hey good morning, i’m sorry for coming so early, but i really do need
to talk to Mary please” i begged. She scoffed and breathed deeply.
“My sister has left town. She is now where you can never see her. She
has left your life for good, so go home and enjoy yourself” she said
rudely and tried to shut the door but i noticed what she was about doing
and barged into the apartment before she could shut the door.
Nobody was in the sitting room, i rushed to the bedroom but still
couldn’t find Mary.

I checked the toilet. I checked everywhere but still
couldn’t find her.
“I have no reason lying to you. Mary has left this town, and she isn’t
coming back in a long time. Moreover what’s up with you?, why the
desperation??. Don’t tell me God is already whipping your ass’” she
sneered.
My eyes instantly grew very red with anger. I boiled with rage,
something pushed me and i went for her throat, throwing the obnoxious
lady into panic with my behaviour.
“where is Mary?” i barked, “she has left the country. She travelled to
johannesburg to be with our elder brother. She’s in S.A” she stammered
with fear.
“what??????” i gasped.
