Episode 8
Henry: good morning baby
Cynthia: morning baby **kissed him**
Henry: am off to school
Cynthia: aitte call me dear when through
I know you all might be wondering how I met henry, it all went down like this……………
**flashback**
I was coming back from my departmental seminar that day when some guys snatched my bag from me leaving me stranded in school unable to go home because I had to take a bike to my hostel and I was currently weak, luckily for me henry was there when it happened so he chased after the guys and recovered my bag for me and I was really happy so later he asked for my contact which I gave him without thinking twice because he was my hero for the day …. He called me later in the day to check on me which I really appreciated…. Henry is not really tall, fair in complexion with sexy pink lips which I really admired but something was fishy about him he had tattoos all over his right hand well I cared less, we later became friends, henry is also in final year studying law…. Henry is a very caring and loving dude but I knew something was fishy about him but I cared less…. Henry call me many times in a day, he takes me out frequently and he also loves making me smile with his jokes meanwhile he had not even propose to me, on a particular day we were both in the cafeteria and he suddenly fell down, everybody rushed towards him to lift him up and check what’s wrong, immediately they lifted him up he went down on kneels and did the unimaginable thing I never expected, in fact I never saw it coming.. he knelt down and brought a ring case opening it and asking me to be his girlfriend everybody were amazed at this and suddenly they all started shouting “say yes” this left me speechless so eventually I said yes…
**back to reality**
I no longer sleep in my hostel because I now stay alone, well I know you guys might be wondering about Tonia cos the last I thing I said about her was dat I was not able to reach her well that’s another story for another time.. staying alone seems boring to me and I was really happy about having henry in my life… later in the day I went over to henry’s place as usual I cooked waiting for him to return but I didn’t see him and it was already past 9 in the night this kept me worried so I tried his number it was ringing but he refused to answer it while I was still trying his number and wondering what happened he just barged and fell down in a pool of blood, this shocked me, when he fell down to the ground he told me to lock the door so I did as he said and I started taking care of the wounds on his body and left him to sleep… when he woke up in the morning I asked him what happened but all he did was to push me away and left the room angry, at first I thought I was dreaming but I realized he actually did that…..
Is this the same henry I know?
Is this the same scaring and loving guy I know?
Does he truly love me?
What is he hiding from me?
What happened to him to yesterday?
I left for my hostel angry now thinking about my life in general that was when Tonia popped up in my head………
**flashback**
Cynthia: good morning Tonia
Tonia: morning roomie
Cynthia: where have you been since?
Tonia: don’t tell me you’re worried about me?
Cynthia: why won’t I be? You’re my roomie na
Tonia: awwn that’s lovely, anyways have been away with my beau (boo)
Cynthia: hmmmm beau which one of them
Tonia: my latest catch Peter
Cynthia: hmmm Tonia take life easy o
Tonia: I should be telling you that o
Cynthia: na u sabi
Tonia: ehn ehn am going to club with peter tonight, would you be opportune to join us?
Cynthia: no o I won’t be o, I have Mr. Owonikoko’s test to prepare for
Tonia: alright then
Around 9pm that I left for school to read overnight because of the test, I did all my best In reading.. early in the morning around 7am when I got to school so as be able to revise for the test I saw some people gathered around and I started wondering what happened I just ignored and headed towards my faculty suddenly I heard someone shout my name Cynthia you need to see this, when I got there I met Tonia lying naked and lifeless on the floor….. It was so certain that her so called new catch had used her for rituals or whatever was his plans….. When I saw her I fainted immediately and when I woke up in the hospital I busted into tears pitying Tonia …..Well on the other she deserved what happened because when her parents came to collect her body I found out her father is a mechanic and her mom is not dead she’s still hale and healthy.. Tonia is the type of girl that wants to fits into a society standard not meant for her…

WORD OF ADVICE FROM THE AUTHOR: [MZTAR KIDDAH]
It’s not by force to be who you are not, whenever you lie about who you are you will need more lies to cover up for your previous lies and meanwhile there is no good thing in trying to fit into a society you know nothing about, forget about whatever anybody might have told you about the society take your time to study the society before you try to fit in………

Episode 9 drops tomorrow
