episode 8
deride after that day that she met David began to come regularly
to greet me butt each time she came she always asked about
David but most of the times that she came David was not around,
but she will still insist on waiting behind but David never paid her
any attention. one day when I was chatting with damilola when
David arrived but he was arguing with someone on the phone
and was so engrossed in this that he walked past us without even
noticing us
me: what is wrong with him
dami: am supposed to ask you, aren’t you his best friend
me: (I eyed her) aren’t you his sister
dami: even thou I am his sister, I have never been close to David
or Daniel as they were both raised and brought up in the states
and mum gave birth to me in Nigeria and she never let me at
once go to see them.
me: so, you just met David when he returned two years ago
dami: yes, as I was still very little when he was around, but i have
never seen Daniel before
me: what! (i exclaimed) you have never met your brother.
dami: (she nodded) i think you should go and check on your best
friend
me: alright (i stood up and walked to Davids room, i knocked and
he told me to come in, i saw him sitting on the bed but he was no
longer on the phone and i sat down beside him) who were you
speaking with? you sounded very angry with that person.
david: its nobody, just forget about it. its just some company
issues
me: are you now keeping things from me
david: no! (i will never want to do that (he said) OK i was speaking
with my dad
me: so why were you arguing.
david: he was frauded by some people over there and he now
wants to come back home
me: well whats the problem with that?
david: the problem is i don’t want him to come back.
me: why?
david: because if he return Daniel will also return (he said angrily
before he calmed down and sighed) i am not in good terms with
my twin.
me: what!
david: yes.
me: why are you not in good terms?
david: my brother is very destructive, he destroyed almost
everything, he always interferes in my life (he said) i was once in
love with a girl Natasha when i was in the states and she was my
love and the first girlfriend i had but but then my brother
impregnated her
me: what! (i exclaimed with my mouth opened in shock)
david: because we were identical, he acted like he was me and
went to her and he became intimate with her until he got her
pregnant but the most annoying thing is that even when Natasha
found out that she had been sleeping with my twin she still
continued but when she got pregnant, that was when i found out
about what they have been doing, i broke up with Natasha and i
became enemies with my brother that day
me: but you could have just forgiven them
david: yes i could but there is only one thing i hate and that is for
people to lie to me or keep secrets from me, i detest such people
(as he spoke i remembered all my past and i remembered that i
myself was lieing to him and i was also keeping the truth about
my past from him, my heart then began to thundered in fear)
tumi! (he called me out of my thoughts)
me: yes (i stammered out) what did you say
david: you were so faraway from me in your mind, what is
wrong with you?
me: (i managed to smile) nothing david i was just thinking about
the exam results, i was wondering when they will be out and how
my result will be. (i lied)
david: (he laughed) come on that should not cause you to think,
am sure that you did well because you prepared well.
me: you know what you are right but i cant help but to be
nervous, so back to Natasha and your brother, what happened
david: oh! i really loved natasha with all my heart and i could have
even easily forgiven her and also accept her pregnancy as my
own but i hated her because she lied to me and so i left her on her
own and my brother and i never spoke again.
me: wow i really pity Natasha but i pity you more, you must have
been greatly hurt
david: i was hurt deeply hurt in fact i was shattered but i am over
her now because i have met you
me: come on! ( i said smiling as i hit his arm playfully and he
laughed)
david: but seriously tumininu, you have really tumininu, you have
eased my mind and repaired me and i am never sad because you
are here with me, you are the source of my happiness but please
promise me that i can trust you and that i can always rely on you,
promise me that you will always remain truthful to me ( i became
stumped)
my pov
oh my god i know that everything i told him is a lie and now he
wants me to promise him that i will be truthful to him, but i cant
tell him about my past as i far that i may lose him but if i don’t and
he later finds out i may as well lose him then, but i cant tell him
not now that i have begun to fall in love with him, i have to make
sure that he never finds out about my past, i just have to make
sure he never finds out.
me: i promise david (i said and he smilled to me before he
wrapped his arms round me)
