“ I LOVE YOU, BUT...” PART 6 BY OPEYEMI O. AKINTUNDE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Freeman walked into his home. His lips were swollen real bad.

Pamilerin was seated in the living room with no thoughts in her head. She was still trying to live in the denial that everything that was happening was all a figment of her imagination.

The creaking sound of the door made her conscious of her environment once again. Freeman's big lips caught her immediate attention. On impulse, she ran towards him in fear.

" What happened?" Concerned Pamilerin asked

Freeman saw the genuine look of concern on Pamilerin's face. Common sense told him that was the time to weaken Pamilerin's anger towards him.

" She didn't take my breakup easily. She punched me on the lip because I told her I couldn't leave my wife for her. I was trying to tell her we were a big mistake which I had been trying to stop for a long time but I had been failing countless times." Freeman said with a pitiful looking face.

Pamilerin stared hard at Freeman.

" Are you saying it is over?" Pamilerin asked while standing akimbo.

" Yes..I will never set my eyes on her again!"

" I hope so...When Single girls fall in love with married men, they find it hard to cut off and most times they end up ruthless if they are forced to quit the relationship. Are you sure she won't be coming back?"

" No, I have paid her off!"

Pamilerin raised her eyebrow in a questioning manner.

" I gave her 2 million!"

" Ok...if she is not a gold digger or a cheap blackmailer, that should be more than enough." Pamilerin said.

" Am I forgiven?" Freeman asked

" Still thinking!" Pamilerin said as she sat back on the chair in the living room...Freeman could sense forgiveness in the air. This was exactly why he loved his wife. Pamilerin was not the complicated kind of person. He walked close to her and planted a kiss on her cheek...

" Thank you for being the best wife ever."

*******

" He did that?" Winter asked Beauty over the phone

" Yes, that was the biggest insult ever!"

" Insult? He insulted you?"Winter asked

" Yes, he trying to pay me off is a big insult."

" My dear, please let me get this, a man pays you 2million for the 2 years you spent together as compensation? That guy is definitely a good guy... Babe, if all men could pay ladies compensation fee after breaking up with them, We would have a lot of rich single babes."

" I don't need his money, I need him... I love him. "

" Babe, if it is about getting him back, I will get him back but my advise, cash out immediately and forget the guy. There are a lot of guys out there and If dating married men is your preferred spec, there are a lot of them out there... This one ... Let him go... If a man pays a girl off, it means he genuinely doesn't want to have anything to do with her again. Men don't part with their money easily. " Winter said

Beauty felt like Something just slipped off her hand. She felt it and she knew it;Freeman was off her grip.

Simultaneously, she felt something fly into her eyes. She tried to get it out but the more she dipped her finger into her eyes, whatever it was, kept plunging in.

" Are you there?" Winter asked

" Yeah, something flew into my eyes. I will call you later! Let me get it out"

*********

Winter dropped her phone in utter shock. She sat back in her chair.

" N2 million!" Winter kept saying over and over

" The guy must be loaded for him to want to throw away N2million just like that! Hmm.... Winter, are you thinking what I am thinking?" Winter said to herself

*********

" Done!" Ajoke's herbalist boasted to her.

" Those eyes she used in seeing my daughter's husband will never see anything good again. Thank you Aremu. You have never failed me... except once, but I have forgiven you."

******

2 hours later

Beauty's eyes had produced enough water to fill a glass cup...

" Hello Winter, my eyes are getting worse. Are you sure I shouldn't go the hospital.?"

" Yes, I am at the airport already, I am taking the next flight to Lagos. Just stay where you are. What is happening to your eyes is not what the hospital can solve, I can tell you the wife has gone diabolical for your case ooo... but don't worry, where someone's juju ends, that's where another person's own starts from... I will show her you have a killer friend."

" Thank you Winter... I am waiting... I can't see clearly again."

" Don't worry your head over nothing. That eye, it will clear."

" Thank you!"

" About to board...see you soon!" Winter said from the Abuja Airport. She had told her new husband that she had to see a close friend who was dying. Unknown to him, Winter was already plotting his death.

*******

" This is very terrible!" Winter said on seeing Beauty. " Your eyes are like they are going to pop out soon. With this , I think we really need to get to the hospital." Winter said.

Winter noticed a rumpled sheet of paper on the floor, she instantly guessed it was the cheque. She picked it up in haste...

" We might need this!" Winter said in her defence when she noticed Beauty saw her... " We don't know what this eye thing might graduate into, let us have this for medical bills”.

Beauty nodded...

" I swear if Freeman and his wife have a hand in this, they will pay." Beauty said out loud...
