OTHER SIDE OF A COIN🪙

The Pledge ❤️

Chapter 5

SCENE 1 ❤️

(at the cafe.

Moon walked into the cafe with a big smile and singing so happily at the top of his voice which made Soul curious so he asked)

Xup with you Moon?

What?

You seem to be flying over the moon

(Moon smiled)

So xup?

Really? Am I that obvious?

Ehen

Why don't you take a guess

You're finally studying business?

Noooo

Really? Then?

Something way sweeter than that

Well I think it's about your love life

Good! That's it

So? You guys are back together?

Yes and something sweet came with it

Huh? Don't tell me you guys had it

Nooo we're not there yet but we're moving

Uhh? So what's the sweet you mentioned?

Can you stop being nosy Soul?

What? You talked about it and so? Can't I ask?

No you can't. And who told you we separated? Eh? Why asking if we're back together?

Ohh really? So just now you've forgotten how you kept pestering me to talk to Uncle on your behalf right? I don't believe you

Eh? When? Please i don't know what you're talking about

Here Comes my bride(Moon said as soon as he saw Pluto coming out from the storeroom)

Pluto smiled. I heard you both talking about something sweet what's that?

I think you should ask your boyfriend

(Pluto turned to Moon)

Huh? No it's nothing serious. Just forget about it. But come to think of it, why are there no customers?

Oh! You just noticed? Soul asked Moon

We're out of bean and our supplier are having issues on their end so that's xup

I thought I told you to have sippliers and not just a supplier

I know but the bean from this particular farm is wonderful and you know it

And so? Now see the outcome

I'm sorry I thought about getting from another farm but Soul suggested I shouldn't change or I'll spoil the cafés signature

Oh! It's a true thing though. So they didn't mention when stuffs will be okay?

Yea they did. By evening, we're expecting our goods

Okay that's good. I think they should add an extra bag as an apology Hmmm? Yes. Sure.

(Soul and Pluto burst out laughing)

You know if I don't know you, I'll think your parents are not wealthy

Yea. Sure (Pluto agreed)

Why?

The way you barging with customers and all.

Just now see our minds didn't even thought of an apology, but yours did. You're indeed a business pro.

(Moon immediately wore a sad face)

I just wish my parents could actually see what I'm really good at and help me achieve my goals

(Moons phone rang)

Oh! What now? (Moon murmured as she saw the caller)

Hello Nail xup?

I called to give you the highlight of the condo's I've seen. Uhmm there's (Nail said over the phone)

Uhmm you know what Nail? Just do your thing. Any you feel is okay, I'll accept it too. Let's go with your choice bye. (Moon interrupted Nail)

Hey! Be calm that's your future wifey you know that(Pluto teased Moon)

What did she say? Soul asked

(Nail came down from a car and went straight into Pluto's cafe. The three guys were speechless watching her coming towards their direction)

Hello she greeted

Hello they all responded

What are you doing here Nail? And how did you find this place out?

Well I just happen to see you from afar of so I decided to join you

Just like that?

It's okay Moon. Let her be (Pluto said)

I'm sorry we're out of bean I would have made you a cup of coffee. (Soul said)

No it's okay. I'm fine.

Moon aren't you going to introduce me to your friends? Don't tell me you're hiding us from them.

No he's not. We actually saw you at his graduation party. Pluto said

Wow! Sorry I can't catch the face. But nice meeting you. I'm Nail. Moon's girlfriend

I'm Pluto. Owner of this Cafe. And this is Soul my friend and he also assist me here.

HI. Well Pluto here to closer to Moon. Soul said.

He never mentioned? Pluto asked.

Nail can you please leave?

Why?

Can't you see I'm with my friends?

Are they complaining? Or you're just scared I'll tell them your secrets?

Secrets? What secret are you talking about?

Oh! That you love older women

What! Moon loves older women? Soul asked

Hmmm

He told you that? Pluto asked

Mmmm

Hey Nail I never said such a thing

Well you said what's wrong with loving them older?

And you concluded I love older women?

Yes. Or are you gay to love older men?

And what's wrong with being a gay? Moon asked

Well I didn't say there's something wrong with it but I know you can never be a gay. You wouldn't dare.

Why wouldn't he dare? Soul asked

He knows the family he's coming from.

So it must be a woman and someone younger?

Mmm and why are you guys bent on this?

Curiosity. Pluto replied

Well anyways he have you already. A girl and younger so our talk mean nothing. It's harmless right? Soul said looking at Pluto and Moon

Hmmm you're right. Pluto added

Let me leave you guys have your boys time while I go home to have my rest.

Sure. Bye. Pluto waved her bye

And remember you owe me a cup of coffee

Why not? Please do well to come back another day

Looking forward to it. Bye Soul

Hmmm I think you guys should be careful on your lovey dovey stuff. Soul said

Yes I agreed

Wai!why? Because of Nail?

Yes. She knows here now and who knows? She might show up unexpectedly next time. Pluto agreed.

Yes. And announced. Soul chipped in

But......

Moon please no but. Let's do this for us. Okay?

Just when I thought we had something going

My Moon. Listen to yourself. And who said we won't have anything going anymore?

But you just said.........

We can do that when it's just the both of us. Okay?

Okay. Moon smiled

SCENE 2👌

(Moon, Kiss and Light)

I thought we lost you already. Light said

Uhmm I thought we ain't friends anymore. Kiss added

No. I've been busy lately you know.

Busy with what? huh? Light asked

Well uhmm

He's been busy taking care of his wife or don't you know he's a married man? Kiss interrupted Moon

Moon smiled. But we aren't married yet

But you act otherwise. Kiss said

What? You mean I'm that open?

Yes. Whoever is close to you will definitely know this. Light agreed

Wow!

But you do act well with your parents though. I bet they'll never notice. Kiss said

Mmm. It's so difficult to keep up with the act you know. She's always wanting to know about my relationship and I don't know anything to tell her. And I don't like it that way. You can't believe most times, I loose control and start talking and talking and when I realize I've said much, I give the credits to Nail.

I understand dear. It's not that simple and in this your case, I think you'll never get the courage to ever come out. Kiss said

Uh? Coming from who his family already knows his boyfriend? Light replied Kiss

What? Wait! Kiss don't tell me you've told your family about Book.

Yes he has. For a long time now you know.

And why haven't I heard of this goodnews?

How would you know when you're always with your boyfriend. Light said.

But we have our group. You would have posted it there man

It's not like I don't want to but my family warned that I shouldn't talk about it in public or make online post related to it cause it might be out one way or the other. Kiss said

Oh! I envy you so much Kiss

Yes my parents took it without any stress and even I invited Book over for a dinner

Oh! I could cry now. Wished it's was I

That's why I said your condition is difficult. With who your dad is and the laws guiding our country man! It's not funny at all. Kiss said

But he still has to come out. Light said

How? Kiss asked

In anyway he feels it's best

No way is the best Light. The only way here is going according to his plan

But can Pluto wait for that long? Look he's 17 and still have alot of time but what about Pluto? He's almost 30 guys. You know time is not on his side and I guess his parents are already asking him about his girlfriend, marriage and grandchildren stuff.

Then what do you suggest he do? Give up his education, life, future, family and run away with his lover?

Enough please. Let's not spoil the atmosphere. I have something to share with you guys. Uhmm I and Pluto kissed and romanced

What? (shouted kiss and light)

Unbelievable right?

Wait! Are you up to 18 yet? Light asked

Man he just celebrated his 17th birthday remember?

Then?

Well I don't know what happened though but I love it.

Of course who won't love it? Kiss said

Talking from experience right? Light asked Kiss

Experience how? (Moon asked Light)

Ha! You don't know?

(Moon shook his head indicating no)

Okay. Well your friend here isn't a virgin

What! When did that happen?

Wait I'm confused here. Kiss you mean Moon isn't aware?

Uhmm I heard it with Book the very first day he asked me out

Hmmm. Light confirmed

Kiss you had what?

It's a long time ago. Light kept talking

Kiss you were only 13 then right?

Hey Moon why are you shouting? Talking like you wouldn't do it if Pluto had agreed to it.

Ofcourse I would have cause I always fantasize about it. But I'm surprised cause you were only 13 then

Ehen 13,16 what's the difference?

3years.3years is the difference. Light said

See who's talking. Talking like you're innocent.

Wait what? You too Light?

I just had it. It's not long ago. Light defended himself

Wow! I envy you both

It's okay let's just be happy for our friend. Light told Kiss

Happy what? Here I was thinking it would be something shocking to you guys but I never knew

Hey come on man it's a gradual process, you'll get there soon. Kiss said

Leave me alone. You guys are betrayers. (Moon said and left the snooker house)

You see what you've caused? You can't just keep stuffs to yourself. Light blamed Kiss

What! But you started it. Kiss replied

Eh! But you would have kept quiet and not prolonging the talk.

SCENE 3😍

(it was the first day of school. It was the school rule that all freshers should stay at the university dorm but Moon's parents didn't buy the idea so they got permission through their connections to rent a condo outside for their son.

Light and Kiss parents didn't have a problem with that so they abide by the rules)

Wow! I'm so happy. Freedom at last and to crown it all, I'm a university student. Light happily said

To crown it all, we're roommates. Kiss sounded so happy too.

Uhmm keep rubbing it to my face

What?

Why won't you guys be happy?

Huh?

Kiss is studying Vet not because his parents wanted that and Light is in Mass Com because his parents also supported his dream.

I thought we've passed this stage? Kiss said

I'm so jealous of you two

Why?

You two always have everything good

Huh? Light sounded

You're studying your dream course, aloowed to stay in the university dorm and enjoying intimate time with your partners. Why must I have to wait for everything?

Do you know we actually pleaded with our parents to let us live outside? Light asked Moon

Hmmmm tell him cause he doesn't know. Kiss said

Why?

Cause I would want to have Book come over. Kiss said

Yea. I'll love to have Porn come over too. Light said

So you see that you're at advantage here? You could have Pluto come over without any disturbance. Kiss said

Yes that's true. You know I've never really thought about that

Well I think you should have that in your plans now man. Kiss said

Man. Light called

Hmm

I think you should plan towards that date

Why?

Well to be something intimate. If that's what you're trying to say Light.

Sure that's it

How should I do that?

Well think of what you want and strategies how to make it come true. Kiss said

Hmm I don't think my man will ever agree to what I want

And I don't think he wouldn't cause it'll be just you and him. Light told Moon

Yea just the both of you. Kiss chipped in

Thank you guys.
