Must Read: Circle Of Three - Season 1 - Episode 32

Cassie returned from the wedding a partially
changed lady. She was still thinking about
Adedayo and the question about God. Can she
actually allow herself to go down the fanatic
lane for a God she cannot see? She was a
Christian no doubt, but that was only in name
and church attendance. She had dated a
young guy like Adedayo, they had kissed and
smooched(though lightly) and she had severally
had dreams about them having S£x.

On the other hand was her relationship with
Adedayo. He was free for now, and it seems so
for a long time. He had no hindrance as his dad
supported the relationship. Yet it had ended in
his hands. Should she accept to resurrect such
a relationship, or should she flee to the mature
arms of Mr Wale, whose lecturer lifestyle may
keep her within Ife and make her redundant in
the traveling aspect? She toiled with this
feelings until she slept.

She had another funny dream, similar to the
first one which she had when things were going
smoothly. She could see him calling her as she
talked to another man and she watched as he
left her, even as she turned and tried to get to
him. She saw him walk some distance and sat
down. All of a sudden, he stood up and started
smiling, then walked away, a person walking
besides him. She had a feeling that she knew
the person when both of them disappeared in
the shadows. She suddenly woke up in sweat,
but deduced that her thinking was the cause of
her strange dream.

Some states apart, Comfort was looking startled
at the mirror.

After having a dream.

She saw herself on a road, running as if she was
in danger. She then turned around to see
nothing but emptiness all around her. She
walked forward and saw Tunji in front of her,
carrying a knife, moving stealthily towards a
target.

Her interest increased and she followed him
until he got to a clearing, more like a clearing in
a forest. Comfort then looked around the area,
having the advantage of having some distance
between her and Tunji to see than some people
were wearing hoods all around the clearing,
however he was blind to this.

Suddenly a calabash of food appeared on the
floor, with Tunji making a dash for it. She went
forward and called him, but her voice was even
more silent than that of a snail. He got there
and started eating.

Five minutes into his feast, the hooded figures
appeared from nowhere and stabbed him with
seven blades on his back, forcing him on the
ground groaning. As he wriggled and tried to
summon some strength to attempt a stand, he
was stabbed one last time on the head by one
of the hooded members.

Comfort, immediately after seeing this, started
to run for her dear life. She burst out of the
area and was running towards the empty space
when she heard a warning:
“IF YOU FOLLOW HIM, THAT WILL BE YOUR
FATE”
Comfort woke up after the warning and
wondered what just happened.

She turned back to sleep, trying to ignore the
dream, but it haunted her so much that sleep
literally fled from her. She made it part of her
priority to tell her aunt about the dream.
The next day was kinda busy for Comfort, as
her aunt had to organize so files for her boss in
the office and asked Comfort to run some
errands.

At noon, she was done and was about sleeping
when she heard a knock at the door. She
opened it to see Tunji, smiling at her.

Cassie woke up feeling fresh in the morning,
went about her chores and cleaning up before
heading out to ‘Leggies’, a popular footwear
shop in Lagos. She instructed the driver to
come back in an hour’s time after dropping her
off, because she just had plans for window-
shopping. She was checking a particular shoe
when she saw Adedayo.

With a girl.
