EPISODE 5
Angela's ringing tone disrupted her discussion with the bike man she stopped to take her to Tope's house,...... Richie was calling her...... "why is he calling me?, "she asked rhetorically She picked the call reluctantly,...... " Hello,.. " " Hello, Angel,...... "she didn't allow him finish before cutting him short... " Pls go straight to the point,... " there was silence,....... "Angel, i want you to know that i'm leaving for South Africa today for a business trip,...... And... " " Safe trip! "she cut the phone on him and continued with her discussion with the bikeman,...... " Sorry for wasting your time,... So how much did you say again? "she asked the bikeman "fifty naira" he replied Her phone rang repeatedly, and she was forced to pick it "What is your problem?, you said you're travelling,.... Then let me be,...... " " Angel please calm down,.... Oook where're you,.... I'll meet wherever you are,... Are you at home? " " Nope, i'm on my way to Tope's house,...." "I'll be there in thirty minutes,.. Pls wait for me, love you, " She cut the phone and hissed,.... She climbed the bike and left for Tope's house,.... Thank God Tope doesn't live with her parents,. They rented a self-contained apartment for her,...... To enable her read books. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Immediately Richie dropped the call, he checked the time and was happy he has enough time to spend with his girlfriend before travelling,... He changed his clothes, picked his car key and left his room............ He came downstairs and met his mother in the sitting room,..... "Where're you rushing off to? She asked him "I'm going to see a friend, i'll soon be back " She stood up and came close to him,.... I'm sorry son, i was about coming to your room to inform you of the change in plan" Richie looked at her in surprise, praying inwardly that the trip had been cancelled "You're supposed to be at the airport in thirty minutes time,... You're already late,.... " " What do you mean? "he asked in an angry tone " what i meant is that, you have to cancel any other plan you have now,.. You're leaving for the airport,.... " " But..... You told me my flight is for 3pm,....it's just 11am,......" "I'm sorry,.. "she muttered "Dont tell me you're sorry, you are inconsiderate and self-centered,.... You only care about your happiness,...." he threw at her "You don't have enough time to waste,.... They're waiting for you,... " " They?,..... Who are they? "he asked anxiously " Sorry i didn't inform you earlier,... You're going with Dan and Pedro,........ They will take care of you over there" "Suit yourself,...... Waste your money on irrelevant things,.. Excuse me! "he angrily smashed the glass on the table close to him He went upstairs to change into something else,.... He tried calling his girlfriend but her phone is switched off,..... " I need to tell her i cant make it,...... poo...... "he hit his fist hard on the wall. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ " I really dont know where your relationship with Richard is heading to,....."Tope responded after listening to me "I'm just confused,..... He's just playing with my heart" "So he's travelling today?,.... When will he be back,.....?", " i didnt ask him that,........... he's supposed to be here by now",.... She searched her handbag for her phone "God, my phone is switched off,.... "she switched it on and received a text, she opened it instantly " Angel pls i'm sorry i couldn't make it to your friend's house due to some circumstances beyond my control,i'm already on my way to Lagos...... I'll see you when i return,..... Take care of yourself, luv u" "Go to helllll!!!!!!! "She screamed after reading the text " What is it?, "Tope asked in confusion She handed the phone to Tope, after going through the text, she hissed " So you want to kill yourself because of Richard,.... Someone that doesn't care about your feelings towards him,..... Keep on crying like a baby,...... " " Tope, you're not helping me at all,.... I don't know why you hate Richard so much, " " Pls dont get me wrong, i dont hate Richard, i only hate his mother,.... And i hate men that cant stand up to their responsibilities,....... Richard is just a coward,.... His mother remotes him like a kid" "It's enough pls,.... I dont need this right now,..... I have to get going, i want to check on my dad at his work place,.... "she said standing up "I'm sorry if i hurt you with my words, .. I was just feeling your pains" Tope begged her "It's alright, i understand, take care"she hugged her friend and left.
