my agony

chapter 5

After the bail,my uncle took me home,on the way,I narrated all the things I've encountered to my uncle,he was shocked to hear those things from me

Some minutes later,we arrived,I stepped down and my uncle drove off,I went inside only to see my girlfriend. Once she saw me,she ran and hugged me so tight,I kissed her forehead then went to sit on the couch

"Baby how have you been"she said looking worried

"As you can see,am fine"I replied

"Sorry I never checked on you throughout your stay in the police cell"she said and began crying

Tears also fell from my eyes knowi fully well that I cheated on the girl that loves me so dearly

"It's okay my love"I said caressing her hair "am sorry too"I saidp

"I cheated on you"I spoke in the midst of tears

I began narrating how the whole incident took place as she began consoling me,she finally succeeded in making me sleep. I slept for about four hours. When I woke up,she was gone. I was very hungry and yawning continuously so I rushed into the kitchen and found out she already cooked rice before leaving. I digged out the rice and began eating, I almost finished half of the food,then I left to the sitting room and switched on the TV and a documentary was shown

Soon,I left to my room and picked up my phone, once I opened it,I saw 53 missed calls. Three from grace,40 from my uncle,10 from my uncle's wife and 3 from my girlfriend.i decided to call my uncle first but he wasn't picking so I called his wife and she told me my uncle wanted to talk with me then aborted the call. I later called my girlfriend and she told me she wanted to inform me about the food. I hissed a great sigh of relief immediately she ended the call,I went back to the sitting room and continued watching the documentary. I dozed off after some minutes then woke up at midnight to find a message on my phone

"Prepare,am coming to pick you up tomorrow, you can't be living alone in that house,it's unsafe"I read

I woke up late the next day and began preparing to leave with my uncle since I was already feeling scared each time I sleep in the house. I parked all my books, clothes, shoes and many more things. I waited for about 2 hours before my uncle arrived

"Sorry for keeping you waiting,hope you didn't wait too long"he said immediately after I greeted him

"I've been waiting for the past 2 hours now"I replied

"Oh dear, sorry about that"he said as he helped me park my belongings into the car boot. Soon we drove off into the highway,my mind couldn't concentrate as so many thoughts came. First,my memorable day showing me and my mom in the beach,I was still a kid by then, how we ran in the sand,when I first tasted smoked fish, when I ate five cups of ice cream which made me sick for 5 days.

Then, to my worst nightmare, Grace.i recalled everything bit by bit,then I began crying

"What's wrong?"my uncle asked cutting off my thoughts

"Nothing uncle"I replied

"Hmmmm,talk to me son, what's wrong" he said

"Hmmmm,ok oo"he finally said and continued driving
