The Love I Regretted - Season 1 - Episode 6

Ever since we went to their room, we’ve gotten so close she call me every now and then, especially in the evening for dinner, and to be sincere she’s a good cook.

Me: Hello Jane, What’s up?
Janet: Hi chocolate, where are you?
Me: (I don’t know why she calls me by that. Is she planning on eating me up?) I’m still in school, going down to my hostel.
Janet: will you come around evening?
Me: It’s evening already

Janet: (she changed her voice to one that is hard to resist) Will you be coming now then?
Me: Jane I have a project to submit before 9am tomorrow

Janet: But tomorrow is public holiday
Me: And which holiday is that?
Janet: Prophet’s birthday I heard, so don’t bother about tomorrow, your supervisor won’t be there.
Me: Alright I’ll come with Temmy later in the evening.

Janet: No! Besides Rachael and Temmy are going somewhere I don’t know till late night.
(So we’ll be all alone? Now this look like a dangerously set trap covered with attractive flowers. But what’s dangerous there, we are not dating, we are just friends now)
Janet: Hello are you still there?

Me: Yeah, I’ll come later in the evening.
Janet: Good, I’ll be expecting you. Don’t eat yet, I’ll make you something worthwhile **the line went off**

Since I’ll be going to her side, I decided to correct the chapter one before going because I don’t know when I’ll leave there. I changed my direction and moved towards ICT center so I can get s strong WIFI. Sitting under a cashew tree behind the old ICT building on a broken bench having the tree’s branch as its other pivot, I had a successful time as I have little or no distraction with fast internet network. I was able to come up with a satisfactory write up before the weather got totally darkened. Since it was already late I headed straight to Janet’s hostel. As expected, she has prepared a wonder meal and immediately set the semo for me, with her sitting right in front.

Me: Are you not eating?
Janet: Only if you want me to
Me: Why not, let’s eat together.
“Yes, I just said that, we are going eat together in the same plate. Maybe I should just let out how I feel towards her this evening, a perfect opportunity to? We shall see.” I brought out the Five-A-Live juice I bought while coming down. We ate together sipping the juice occasionally and it looks more like a date.

We chatted through the meal and started watching a seasonal Korean movie on her Laptop, though we barely watch the said movie as we were more engrossed with our conversation. Her head find its place on my laps with her lying down and myself sitting on the mattress resting my back against the wall. She was playing with my right hand finger nails while my left hand keep dressing and redressing her fixed hair, sometimes I’ll touch her pimples back and forth. At this point my body has already graduated to the third heaven with my hard jeans trouser preventing from noticing the awoken “brother of mine”. I noticed her unease movement on the mattress rubbing my hand more and more, breathing heavily with my left hand moving towards her body trying to raise her body up towards mine. In no time she’s already in my arms rubbing my body, hugging me so tight and passionately drawing her head towards mine, and of course our mouth is in each other kissing deeply. The next thing is to UnCloth each other and she has already started to unbuttoned my shirt when my phone rang. I responded to check who was calling and discovered it was Temmy, I picked it but the voice I was hearing was not of Temmy.

Me: Hello, Who is this?
Person: The owner of this phone was involved in an accident and I’m calling you as the last dialed number. Please come to general hospital, they are at the emergency ward.

Me: Oh my God! Thank you, I’ll be right there.
By this time we had already separated and everything high has gone down.
Me: Where did you say Rachael and Temmy went to?

Janet: I really don’t know
Me: They had accident and are presently at the general hospital. I’ll be going there now.
Janet: We’ll go together.
She changed her cloth while I wait for her outside. We board a bike straight to general hospital but paused a bit at my hostel to drop my bad. We entered the hospital premises and headed straight to the emergency section. As we were about to enter the emergency ward, a nurse called from the right side.

Nurse: Are you his friend?
Me: Yes
Nurse: The doctor wanted to see you. (She directed us to the doctor’s office)
Doctor: Please sit down, and please excuse us for a while (pointing to Janet).

Janet: (Shivering) where is my friend?
She was ushered out by the nurse that brought us into the office before she could get any answer. The doctor then sits in his chair directly facing me.

Doctor: How close are you to him?
Me: We’ve been friends since we were six or seven; we are from the same place. (By this time my heart has started pounding faster than the piston of a running ignition combustion engine)

Doctor: Well you are a man and you should understand things better. Things happen you know and it’s usually a reason.
I was about to explode when the doctor said “your friend is gone”. I felt my heart beat drop momentarily and did not hear anything he said afterwards as so many scenarios of Temmy’s image flooded my brain. I was brought back by Janet’s loud cry. She probably overheard the doctor.

Janet: What’s wrong with Temmy? And where is my friend?
I couldn’t utter a word, I just stood up and hug her, crying loud enough now as her tears already soaked my shirt.
Doctor: Will you like to see your friend now?

At this point, I was struggling to hold myself not to burst out crying. I wasn’t sure if I should follow the doctor to see my home boy’s corpse or not but Janet’s presence gave me some courage. We followed the doctor who moved towards the anatomy lab of the hospital. “I can’t believe my own guy is lying down in there lifeless. Damn, Temmy cannot die; we’ve got a lot to achieve together. I’m going best my guy on his wedding day. Damn!” Getting to the lab’s door, Janet was asked to wait outside while followed doctor inside. Seeing so many cadavers though covered, I couldn’t feel myself again and I can’t explain how I’m even moving. “Over here” said the doctor, pointing to a fresh cadaver. The moment I got by the side of the lifeless being, all my fear and shivering disappeared and I got a sudden courage from nowhere.

Doctor: Remove the covering and confirm
Me: Please do it yourself sir.
He removed the covering without hesitation as if he was only trying to see what my reaction would be by asking me to uncover the cadaver, all this while my eyes were closed.
