Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 29

Like a light bulb, Comfort’s eyes lit up in anger.
“What are you looking for here?”
He looked at her, a bit bemused.” So we can’t
greet without any trouble, Comfort? Has it
become this bad?”
“Yes, it has.” Comfort answered, “At least for a
guy who broke my heart twice and attempted
to r@pe me once, its enough to put distance
between us.”
“Comfort, I understand that you don’t like me
and I understand if you don’t trust me but
Comfort please don’t make me your enemy.”
“Hmn,see who is talking. So after everything
you did to me, you expect me to greet you
normally? No Tunji, I can’t. No matter what you
say, I can’t accept your friendship. Tunji, you
are Devil’s right hand man.”
“Comfort, please forgive me. I have not been
normal since that incident, I have suffered hurt
and shame from home, my parents have turned
against me and I have no friend in the world.

Comfort, I know that I have offended you and it
will be a dream to ever be close to you but
please forgive me.” He ended his plea on the
floor,crying.
“Fine I forgive you but don’t expect us to be
close again.” Comfort said. “So am I free to go?”
“Thank you, Comfort.” He said standing up.” I
won’t disturb you any further.”
“Cassie, I know that I have offended you, but I
believe that you can find it somewhere in there
to forgive me. I was s.tupid to drop you that
way.”
“So what happened exactly to your dad’s title
ambition?” Cassie asked, rolling her eyes.

Ifeoma was spell-bound by everything that
Adedayo gave away as per his relationship with
Cassie. However, she kept herself from asking
questions, as she did not want to disrupt the
chemistry she was seeing.

Or maybe lack of it.
“As my uncle was found and the whole plot
exposed, he was dropped. My dad was relieved,
especially as he could divorce my mum without
any issue, which he did without hassles. But
Cassie, my heart has not healed since then, I
need you more than ever. Please Cassie,
consider me once again and I won’t make you
regret it.”
“As you made me regret it before abi? What of if
your uncle really dies and your dad has to take
the stool, what will happen to me?” She asked.

After getting no response, she smiled.” Sorry
Adedayo, this heart is closed til further notice.”

Comfort eyed him as Tunji retreated to the
streets. She was wondering if she did the right
thing by forgiving him. She knew it was right in
all ways, but she wondered why she did so
easily, besides she was beginning to get some
weird feelings.

Bad romance! Her twin self said in her mind.

Comfort opened the door as soon as she got in,
just to meet an inquisitive aunty.

Comfort, what are you doing with that boy? Get
inside now! She ordered Comfort, dragging the
girl with her.

Cassie, reconsider. You know that I truly love
you? Adedayo said, almost kneeling down.

Ifeoma was touched by his simplicity and his
attitude,but Cassie was having none of it.

Ade, Ade, stand up abeg! I no send you
message, I am not interested anymore. What is
hard in that statement to understand? Please.

Please, don’t embarrass me or yourself here.

She stood up and started walking away, an
action which drew the attention of guests
seated around them. Cassie, noticing the
attention, got more angry and walked sharply
towards the exit. Adedayo tried to follow her
but Ifeoma stopped his hand.

Tell me what happened.

Comfort aunty dragged her to a seat.
“Comfort, wetin you dey do with that useless
guy?”
“Aunty, I do nothing oh! Na him just greet me.”
“No lie for me! Am an elderly woman.”
Comfort eyed the woman, obviously angry at
the way she was behaving, especially as she
had barely landed.
“Aunty, I no do any oh! I just dey come
now,now na so you come dey accuse me, I no
like am oh!” She was reluctant about visiting
her aunt because of situations like this. The
older woman’s ultra-suspicious way of looking at
her every time she comes pisses her off to no
end, especially as was usually baseless. This
often shadowed the woman’s kind heart and
other ‘fairer’ attitudes.
“Aunty, I no like am at all!” Comfort almost
shouted at the older woman when she persisted
with the question.

The older woman was now convinced. “Why did
he greet you?”
“Its because we attend the same university, or
at least he attended it before he was
suspended.”
“Okay, I am just looking out for you, just be
careful sha. You know that you are the only link
to my sister.” Comfort was blushing, “I heard he
r@ped a lady in school that why he was
suspended.”
