BEYOND LOVE

BEYOND LOVE EPISODE 1 HI, Mi Rey, I am now on the road. Her text popped up on my phone. On the road? Why can’t you take flight? I asked her. How will I be able to do so when you refuse to pay for the ticket? She replied. Why would I pay for your ticket when you are rich yourself? I countered her. There are many reasons as to why you should pay. You are my sunshine, my other half, my life, my boyfriend and my PIC ( partner in crime) and you also are Mi Rey ( which means my king in Spanish). Only you have all these roles in my life, coupled with the fact that I told you that I just use all my money to order goods; for now,I am broke as a church rat. She replied. Even though you just order goods, you can still sources for money if you want to. When you are arriving, I can pick you up at the motor park. I asked, trying to change the topic. I can’t actually answer that now, we are not on the familiar route we have been taking. Our driver diverted from the normal route about five minutes ago. When we asked, he said the route we are currently on is the newly diversed road as the normally used one before now served as the perpetrators' lair for carrying out their criminal acts as the road is popularly used. He even mentioned a k********g case that happened on the road two days ago. Since I am not familiar with this road, I couldn’t say anything about our ETA. She replied. But I don’t know, something feels ominous about this road. We had only just come across two cars since we took this road but the driver said the road isn’t widely used. That is the reason we do not come across many cars. She added. I replied to her with a laughing emoji, you are always like this. I don’t know why you have an eerie feeling about everything. How do you expect to come across? many cars when the road is a new route? I replied to her. I don’t know but it kind of creepy. She texted back. Put your eyes on the road and be vigilant. You can play a game or try to read a comedy book so you can get it out of your head. I replied her. Since she mentioned being on the strange road, my mind isn’t at rest but I had to keep it cool or else it will escalate her fear. Truly, she easily have such ominous feeling and her fear usually come to reality. It almost an hour from our last chat, I had to check on her. Where’re you? I texted her. I will call you on w******p now. She replied. I swiped the green button immediately her call displayed on my phone. So, where’re you? We are still on the unknown route. Some passengers had already implore the driver to go back to the known route but he maintained his stance saying his family doesn’t have money for ransom if he got kidn*pped and he also had children at home so he is not ready to be killed if his family could not pay his ransom. It also confirmed that a k********g incident took place on the popular route few days ago. She catechised. Then, why getting afraid when he already explained himself and you guys confirmed his reason. I replied. I don’t know, it just some ………. I don’t know, I don’t know. She replied stuttering. Calm down, the reception isn’t even good, I am not hearing you clearly, let switched back to texting. I replied her. I hanged up before she could say anything more. She is already getting worked up. You’re not getting me Ola. We’re are getting deeper into the unhabitable part of this area. It over 20 minutes since we last come across any village or even vehicle. She texted. Okay, let me track your location, just give me a minute. I texted. Have also tried to check our location on google map but it seem this place isn’t on google map, but you might be able to get it. She replied. I couldn’t track where you are, the signal is really bad where you are. I can check where you are or the nearest village with a map here if you can narrate how you get to your present location starting from where you turn from the main road. I texted. According to the driver, we will soon get back to the main road, we had turned away from the road and he said he is taking a short route to get us back on the main road but it seemed otherwise to me. She replied. You remember that village that we usually stop at to buy palm oil? She texted. Yeah, I do. I replied her. Immediately after the village, we turned left and drive for about 30 minutes before turning left again then drive for about 17 minutes before turning right afterward then drive for about 16 minutes. Then we come across a lion junction and took the left turn. The road is filled with so many cashew trees. We are still on that road. She texted. You can at least get me some cashew, you know I love that fruit. I texted. Ooohh! So, I should tell the driver to stop that I wants to pluck some cashew for my boyfriend. I don’t understand how you usually takes everything as joke. She replied. I think a village is nearby, there are people around here. She texted. That great, nothing to fear anymore. I replied. I waited for 15 minutes but she didn’t reply me, though it unlike her, she is the kind of person that usually want to text last. Maybe it due to connection error, even though, we’re both using 5G devices, it as if we are texting on 2G devices as the messages takes a bit long to load due to her location.
