Season 2- Episode (4)
Stella hanged up feeling satisfied with what she had done. She realized how Mrs. Harry was interested in her information about her husband. “I will definitely have my revenge this time around.” She thought.
The next day, Bernard went to cash out the one hundred Ghana cedis from the bank. He immediately went to prepare for the dinner. It was just minutes to the proposed time and he needed to be ready.
He called Erica to be sure she was also getting ready. “Hello Erica,” Bernard greeted when Erica answered her phone. “Hello Bernard.” Erica responded. “Are you ready?” Bernard asked. “Yes. I am even on my way to your room.” She answered. “Oh, really!! I am putting on my attire. I will meet you at the entrance.” Bernard said. “Okay.” Erica concluded.
Bernard quickly dressed and met Erica at the entrance of his hall. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Erica was looking exquisite. He had only seen Erica in simplistic attires, but that night, Erica had added a real touch of sophistication. Bernard now saw Erica in a way he hadn’t seen before. He confidently moved towards Erica and held her hand. He couldn’t hide his shock so he told Erica how beautiful she looked. Bernard was happy to see Erica blushed when he gave that comment. He had said the same thing to Aba some time ago, but she was indifferent about his heart-felt comment.
Bernard stopped a taxi and opened the back door of the car for Erica. He followed suit and sat on the back seat with her. They made their way to Frankies to enjoy the rest of their night.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Harry had arrived at the Accra mall at exactly 5:30pm. She didn’t want to be late for her appointment with the unknown caller. She reached the exact location in 15 minutes time. She took her phone and called the strange number to announce her presence.
Mrs. Harry: Hello. Please I am at pizza inn. Where are you?
Stella: Okay. I can see you. Move to the table at the corner and order a pizza. I will be with you in a moment.
Mrs. Harry: Hello…. Hello… Hello
(The line was dead. Stella had hanged up)
A young lady in her early twenties approached Mrs. Harry’s table. She moved and sat on a chair opposite Mrs. Harry. Mrs. Harry immediately knew that was the unknown caller.
Stella: Good evening Madam.
Mrs. Harry: Good evening lady.
Stella: I want to go straight to the point because I don’t want to waste any time. Your husband is cheating on you. He is having an affair with a lady named Aba.
Mrs. Harry: Young lady, are you sure of what you are saying? I have known my husband for fifteen years and he had never done such a thing before.
Stella: I am sure madam because I know what am saying. I believe your husband has travelled to Dubai for a summit. Is that correct?
Mrs. Harry: Yea. He went yesterday and will return tomorrow. How did you know?
Stella: It doesn’t matter how I got to know. Your husband travelled with the said lady to Dubai. She is with him now and they both are enjoying themselves while you the wife is home feeling lonely. I suggest you track this girl and put a stop to her naughtiness because if you don’t she will eventually snatch your husband away from you.
Mrs. Harry: Humph! I have been quiet careless in analyzing my husband.
Stella: Before I forget, your husband has bought a Toyota Camry and rented a flat for this lady. He also spends huge sums of money on her. That is all I have for you. I think I have spoken enough.
Tears filled the eyes of Mrs. Harry. She wanted to sob, but considering the many people around, she tried her best to hold them back. Mrs. Harry was in shock. She couldn’t believe her ears.
Stella got up and left in a hurry before Mrs. Harry could ask for more details. She didn’t want to disclose her identity. Although she was filled with anger towards Mr. Harry and Aba, she didn’t also want to lose her friendship with Aba.
Bernard and Erica were enjoying themselves at Frankies. They were so in the moment they didn’t realize it was late. Bernard wanted to use the moment to propose to Erica. “Erica… I have known you for some time now. I didn’t realize this before but later came to accept it has become a reality. I was initially stereotype in my thinking, but with these few days with you I realized I can’t live my life without you. There is only one thing I want to ask you this night. Will you marry me after school?”
Erica couldn’t believe she was hearing those words from Bernard. She knew Bernard brought her out on a date, but she wasn’t expecting a proposal. Her prayers had really been answered. After all, her labor in prayers was not in vain. She paused for a moment still trying to bring herself out of the shock she was in.
Bernard was confused. He didn’t know what the silence meant. He didn’t know whether Erica was startled or enthused by his proposal. Bernard wore an expressionless face while waiting for Erica to speak up.
Erica finally organized herself emotionally and spoke up. “Yes, I will marry you after school. To tell the truth, I have been waiting for this day. The day you will propose.” After they spent moments together, they headed back to school. They didn’t want to spend more time because they had dawn prayers and needed enough rest. When they got to the school, Bernard escorted Erica to her hall.
Back in Mr. Harry’s house, his wife couldn’t sleep. She was very heartbroken. “Who is this little brat that want to destroy my fifteen years of marriage? I need to do something fast about this issue. I can’t allow this little girl to displace me. I will deal with her. I will teach her a lesson she will never forget in her life.” She thought while pacing around in the hall of the house.
She had already searched through her husband’s documents and had been successful in getting the address of the rented flat. Mr. Harry had written it in one of his books. She was just waiting for her rival to return. She had a lot in stock for her.
What do you think Mrs. Harry has in stock for Aba? Comment…
Watch out for the next episode.
