IN The DARK (A Story Of Love, Betrayal And Survival) - Season 1 - Episode 55

At exactly 5:00am the following morning, we
moved out of our house with the little
things we could carry. Our plan was to move
to another village in kwara state, where we
could come back and sell off our remaining
property. We stopped the first cab that
appeared in front of us and told the driver
we were heading to the nearest garage. Not
until we entered the cab did i notice that
two passangers were in apart from the
driver,I greeted the guy beside me and got
bussy with my phone. Thirty minutes later
we were yet to get to our destination which
was not suppose to be. An hour later, we
were still on the road, i became suspicious.

“Mom are we not suppose to be there by
now?” i whispered into my mom’s ear. She replied with a nod and said “Driver why is it taking this long, did you miss your way?” my
mom asked the driver. The second guy
infront laughed loudly and said “How can
we be there yet? We are on our way to
abuja. Abii Abuja from here nah one hour
journey?”. My eyes widened and i asked the guy what he ment. I told him we were on
our way to the garage. The guy sitted beside
me chuckled and said “We know, but our
boss need you first, after the meeting you
are a free bird, you can go to the garage for
all i care”. At that particular moment it
dawned on me that we were been
kidnapped, i opened my mouth to say
something but my mouth went dry. I
decided to talk less and think fast. My mom
started to beg the guys but they told my
mom to pocket her plea. I would have joined
in the begging but i knew it would’nt work.

I decided to keep mute, fighting any of them
would be a waste of energy, they were way
too big for me and they might have
dangerous weapon with them. I held my
mom tight and whispered to her ” if he his behind this, they cannot harm us. My mom
nod and hold me tightly.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Kelvin urged
me to have a meal with him, i hesitated for
awhile but i later agreed. We had a meal of
fried rice and plantain with assorted meat.

Kelvin was naughty throughout the meal. He
kept on putting alot of meat into my plate
claiming that it been long he had seen me
eat and i should eat all the meal i had missed
with him. I would put the meat back into his
plate and he would return it, this was how
we behaved like a child till we ended the
meal. After the meal, we went back to
Kelvin’s room with our drinks. Kelvin
requested me to tell him all that had
happened to me over the years and i did but
i skipped every part that included Jordan. I
could not tell him about Jordan without
including the part where he betrayed me, so
i kept everything about him from kelvin. I
was still telling kelvin about my past when
my phone started to ring. Before i could
reach for the phone, it stopped to ring. I
unlocked the phone and saw more than
twenty missed calls from Jordan. I saw new
messages from him as well. Not until i read
the messages did i remember that we were
suppose to be on a date that evening.

I murmured “OMG” and dialed his number.

The line went through but he did not accept
my call. I became worried, i sent a message
but did not get a reply. I became worried,
hoping Jordan was not mad at me. I was
lost on what to do as stared at the screen of
my phone. “Any problem?” kelvin’s question
brought me back to reality. I sighed and said
“I was suppose to be on a date”. “with me?”
kelvin asked with a smile. I hissed playfully
and told him no. “Are you in a relationship?”
kelvin asked. I thought for a second and
said “No” . Kelvin hummed and said “I want you to meet my mom, she is in the next building” . I agreed and we left. We got to a
bigger apartment behind kelvin’s and kelvin
ushered me in. We met his mom in the
dinning room, having her desert. She replied
casually to my greetings at first before kelvin
whispered something into her ears. She
then stood from where she was sitted and
hugged me warmly. She held me close to
herself and said “You are welcome my wife.

Am sorry about your lost, am sure you are
stronger now. Please feel at home and see
me as your mother”. I blushed at the
mention of wife and looked at kelvin, he
winked at me playfully and looked away.
Kelvin’s mom made me join her on the table
and she continued to ask me questions, i felt
relax with her during the chat. The ringing
of my phone interupted my conversation
with kelvin’s mom. The caller I.D was mi
mom’s. She asked why i was late and
informed me that Jordan came looking for
me. At the mention of Jordan, i realised i
was yet to get to him. I told kelvin and his
mom that i would love to take my leave and
they both saw me off to the car. Kelvin
wanted to drive me home while a driver
would drive my car but i objected with the
excuse that i would be going to see a friend
before heading home. I drove out of the
compound with both mother and son
waving at me. ¤
