Season 2- Episode (2)
True to his promised, he bought all that Aba needed, including household appliances and utensils. He even promised to get Aba her own car. Indeed, Aba felt the whole world was under her feet. She packed out of her room on campus and moved into her new house.
“Hello honey, welcome,” said Mrs. Harry when he saw her husband coming through the front door. “Hello dear.” Mr. Harry responded. “I have Juggled Glory (The Story of Aba) by Lewis Dampsonobserved you recently and I have realized that you are changing. You no longer act like the man I know.” Mrs. Harry told Mr. Harry in a sad tone. “What do you mean by that?” Mr. Harry quickly questioned his wife. “I mean you are mostly not in the house and don’t come home early too. You don’t play with the children anymore and they hardly see you these days. What is happening?” Mrs. Harry asked.“Oh dear, it is nothing. The reason for my recent attitude is that, I have been given more responsibilities
at work. I am close to being the president of the company and I need to work more extra time to prove to the CEO that I am capable and worthy of the promotion." Mr. Harry lied.
Mrs. Harry’s facial expression changed when she heard about the promotion. She believed her husband. After all it was a good thing for him to earn that promotion. She needed to encourage and support him so he could be awarded the promotion. She quickly apologized and smiled again.
Mr. Harry was very happy. His plan had worked. He had convinced his wife to believe him.
“Hmm… no nagging wife will track me now.” He thought with a wry smile on his face. He was even on his way to see Aba and was already running late. He had sent his guys to furnish the
room for her, but could not pay her a visit himself. He wanted to sleep over at Aba’s place that night and needed to come up with a real excuse so he wouldn’t look suspicious in the eyes of
his wife.
He gave his wife a tangible excuse and told her he would stay late that night. “Please dear, I
have been called by the CEO. He wants me to finish some work on tomorrow’s contract. It is an impromptu assignment because we weren’t expecting our partners to arrive in the country
today. Please lock the doors because I might come tomorrow morning.” Mr. Harry lied to his wife, hoping she wouldn’t ask further questions.
Mrs. Harry was convinced and she bade her husband goodbye. She locked the doors and slept when her husband drove his car off the compound.
Mr. Harry arrived at Aba’s flat. He knocked and Aba opened the door. She was surprised Mr. Harry was visiting at that ungodly hour. Aba was expecting he would visit, after all he rented
the flat with his money, but not at that time of the night. There was nothing she could do because she owed him so much and being rude was out of the question.
Mr. Harry went inside the house and sat in the sofa. He told to Aba he was there to spend the night with her. Aba was taken aback. She wasn’t expecting that at all. She now knew the reason
why Mr. Harry visited so late. He wanted to sleep with her. She would have rejected his advances, but she thought again that she owed the man a lot. He had been very generous to her and had asked nothing from her in return. Why would she be wicked by refusing him the
only request he had asked from her? “Jeremy slept with me and did nothing for me. This man has done a lot for me and had even promised me a car and trips abroad. If I refuse his advances, he would withhold all those things from me. I will lose them all. I can’t…. I can’t.” She battled with these thoughts for a while and finally gave in to Mr. Harry to sleep over for the night.
Mr. Harry was excited because his bait had worked on Aba. He knew Aba felt indebted to him and used that as a leverage to sleep with her. He wanted to entangle her the more. He promised to buy the car for her the next morning. Aba immediately forgot about her woes of being cornered. She was very happy. The thought of showing her friend’s her new car ran
through her head. How her social class on campus would be elevated if Mr. Harry was to fulfil his promise.
Juggled Glory (The Story of Aba) by Lewis Dampson
The pride of life that was ruling her now couldn’t make her realize she was trading away her pride. She was so poised to become a high-class girl on campus that nothing mattered to her.
She had forgotten her mother’s counsel and had been slain again by another man.
True to his promise, Mr. Harry bought a brand new Toyota Camry for Aba the next day. He was also supposed to travel to Dubai the next day for a summit. He got Aba and himself traveling documents. He wanted that to be a second surprise when he handed the car keys to her.
He called Aba on the phone and got to know Aba was on campus. She had finished with her lectures and had gone to her former room to check on her friends. Mr. Harry made the car dealer drive the car and they both took it to campus.
“Hello Aba, I am on campus. Can you come out, I have a surprise for you.” Mr. Harry said when he called Aba on the phone. Aba came out quickly with Stella to see the surprise. She was so happy to learn that the brand new car she was seeing was hers. Stella became more hateful and jealous of Aba when she saw the present.
“Can we go inside please, I have something else to
show you.” Mr. Harry said feeling satisfied that his first surprise had been successful.
When they got to the room, he told Aba about the travelling. He told Aba he had gained all the
necessary documents and they would leave the next day.
Amidst celebration and excitement, Mr. Harry place his phone on Stella’s bed. He didn’t want to break his screen because of the way Aba was hugging him. Stella saw that both of them had lost concentration and were so much in their own world of excitement and took the phone and went straight to his contacts. She wanted to know if Mr. Harry had a wife. She wanted to copy her contact if she saw such a number on his phone.
Will Stella succeed in getting Mrs. Harry’s number? What is the motive for her actions?
Watch out for the next episode.
