Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 30

Comfort was gob-smacked to hear that from her
aunt, especially as she was the lady involved.

She recovered well enough though to disguise
what was already an interesting facial
expression from her aunt.
“Ehen? Me no know oo. Who tell you aunty?”
Who told me? It is all around town. His dad
disowned him after hearing about what he did
and now he is living with one guy in the area
and is doing menial jobs for a living.

So aunt sabi menial jobs? Comfort asked herself
before asking the aunt what kind of work he
does.
“He was working for one construction site as
person wey dey carry brick, he is now a cafe
attendant in one of those cybercafes in town.”
“Hmn, so that’s why he never show for school
abi?” Comfort pondered, already feeling sorry
for him.
“So? Comfort, I don’t want trouble. If I see you
with him, I will have to send you away from
here, you hear me?” Her aunty warned.
“Yes ma, I no mad nah.” Comfort replied,
smiling mischievously.
“I mean it Comfort. Oya, go and take your food”
“Cassie, you should give him a chance.” Ifeoma
said, looking at an unconcerned Cassie. Cassie
was busy in the reception toilet, combing her
ruffled hair.
“Did he tell you what he did?”
“Yes, and you are been childish, Cassie. He did
not betray you, did he? It was a tough choice to
make, besides his dad seems to have cleared
the road for you, so I don’t get why you should
treat him like he cheated on you.”
“Thank you! I am not interested in him.” Cassie
turned, looking at her friend.
“Yet you were so relieved when you realised
that he was not the groom, you can’t lie to me.”
“See, you won’t understand, me and him can’t
come together again.”
“Why?”
“I am dating someone else!”
Comfort yawned. It had been a long day, from
seeing Tunji to her aunt’s interrogation. She
was not surprised that he was not in prison,
knowing that his dad had connections. She was
however surprised at his dad rejection of him.

Tunji was the only son from what she gathered,
so she could only imagine what level of anger
he used to deal with Tunji. She was already
feeling pity for the guy when her ‘ other half’ of
her mind repeated a phrase.

Bad romance!

Ifeoma looked shocked at Cassie, wondering
what was to come next. Cassie, on the other
hand, was calmer than a river in dry season.
“Or I intend to date someone else, that will be
more appropriate.”
“Cassie, come off it! Who are you talking about
here, because I have not seen you with a guy
since you came for your IT.”
“Na my lecturer jare, oya go announce am!”
Cassie said, feigning a bloodshot look at Ifeoma.

Ifeoma was not impressed.
“Cassie, I can’t advise you totally on your
relationship because I was not there in the
beginning, the only thing I will advise you to do
is to think carefully. You don’t know who or
what your lecturer and Adedayo will turn to
tomorrow,just use your head and not your
emotions, okay.”
“And stop hating Adedayo!”
Cassie looked in shock. “I don’t hate him,
Ifeoma, I am just confused about his case. I
thought I was done with him, but seeing him
today brings back memories.”
“So, do you love him?”
“I don’t know jare, I don’t understand myself.”
“Its possible that you are afraid of what will
happen later in the future and I can’t blame
you, who knows tomorrow? But I don’t want
you to make mistakes because you broke up
with a guy. Adedayo may or may not be the
man for you, but you have to make sure you
know what you want to do and you have to
forgive him and move on. Learn your lessons,
but don’t keep a grudge. Besides, I really think
he is better than you make him look.”
“He is not bad, but am torn between options. If
we did not break up, this will not have
happened, but we broke up and……..”
“And you can’t afford another hurt in your
heart, Cassie? I understand you, but as I said,
evaluate your options before doing anything.

Choose the right option and pray about it. Do
you pray?”
“Well, to be frank, I have had no cause to pray.”

She looked at Ifeoma,” I know, am a sinner
already.”
“Noo, you are not. There is nowhere in the bible
that not praying is a sin, but praying is
essential, because you don’t know everything
about people or yourself, but God does and he
is interested in you.”
“Ifeoma, abeg no preach for me. I don hear
enough from all those ‘ better than thou’ SU
girls.”
“This is not preaching. Cassie, who do you see
God as?”
