Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13
Daniel looked straight as he
entered and met Alex’s hand
on Nora’s head. What’s this?
He widened his eyes as he
stepped inside. Nora quickly
pushed Alex’s hand away from
her head and took some steps
backward.
“Ooh.. Good evening, Sir.”
Alex stretched his hand to
exhange handshake with
Daniel.
Daniel pocketed his hand as
he gave him a long look. “Who
invited you here?”
“I just stretched my hand
and I expect you to shake me,
Sir.” Alex replied with a
question.
“You haven’t replied my
question, Mr.” Daniel said.
Alex shrugged. “Neither
have you answered mine, Sir.”
Daniel chuckled as he
stretched his hand forward
and shook him. “So, who
brought you here?” He
questioned. Nora just stood by
a side, her heart was beating
fast as she wondered what
would happen.
“Actually, Nora told me to
come along. She told me she
would like me to know her
house…” He smiled.
Daniel gave a faint smile as
he nodded. “Really?” He
teased.
“Sure, that’s it.”
“Ooh.. that’s great already.
You know here now, can you
please leave?” He still smiled.
“Really? I.. was I was just
about taking my leave when
you arrived.”
“You may take it properly,
now.” He smiled.
Alex walked out slowly.
Daniel heaved a sigh. Is this
true or what? She didn’t even
deny it, it automatically means
it is the truth! He had thought
as he took some steps and
began to walk inside the
house.
Nora was just short of
words, she didn’t know the
actual thing to do because she
was scared already. Should I
call him? She thought within
herself but found out she had
no courage to.
She dropped down on the
tiled floor and began to cry.
**
It was thirty minutes after,
Daniel was still on the
mattress, wondering what
could have happened. Who
knows if that’s the reason she
didn’t reply my message on
whatsapp? He wondered as
he dimmed his eyes and
breathed heavily consistently.
She didn’t deny, she couldn’t
come after me, she must have
really invited him! He
muttered. He rolled to the
other side of the mattress and
something dropped in his
mind. “Who changed this bed
cover?”
He had been on it for a
while but didn’t even notice it
had been changed. “Nora
changed it, no one else.” He
swooshed out a long breath
as he stood up from the
mattress to get his shirt off
himself. He walked to the
wardrobe and noticed some
of his dirty clothes had been
taken away, probably for
laundry. “Nora?” He
wondered.
Suddenly, he heard a noise.
It was from the gate. He
motioned to the curtains and
pulled it to a side, he could see
Nora with the gatekeeper. He
began to listen to their
conversations.
“I said you are sacked!” She
shouted.
“Please, I don’t know what I
have done.”
“You won’t know what you
have done, Mr man, you
won’t!”
“Please, Madam. Please.”
“Why did you open the gate
for that man? Why? You have
caused confusion in my house,
just leave!” She screamed
again, her voice had began to
break as if she would cry.
Daniel could feel the voice. It
seemed she was caught
unawares.
“Please Madam. He said you
work together with him in the
same company and you
instructed him to come.”
“To come where? To my
own husband’s house? He
doesn’t work in my company,
he just used that as a trick! He
saw me today and must have
traced me down to my house
here, I didn’t ask him to come!
You’re sacked!”
“Madam, please. I never
knew, I thought he was real.”
“You thought he was real?
Then this sack letter too is
real! Leave this house!” She
exclaimed.
Daniel began to link events
together. Alex must have
followed her, why did he lie?
Why couldn’t she oppose him
before me? Why didn’t she
come after me to tell me what
the truth was?
“Madam, I beg of you. Who
will be opening the gate for
you and Oga?”
“I can be my husband’s
gatekeeper, is it your
business? Leave!”
Daniel knew the truth
already. He picked up his shirt
and stormed downstairs. As
he got to the living room, he
met a key on the floor, exactly
where Alex stood when he
entered into the house.
“Whose key?” He wondered as
he picked it up. This doesn’t
matter right now.” He
muttered as he put it in his
pocket.
He got outside and walked
slowly.
“Don’t let me loose my
temper, just leave!” She had
started crying.
“Please Madam, I won’t do it
again. I wanted to ask, I
thought he was real.” The man
too was on his kneels already.
“Will you..” As she raised up
her hand to dismiss the
gatekeeper, she felt that a
hand held her hand and
another crossed her neck.
Daniel was already behind her,
crossing his right hand on her
neck as he held her firmly. “My
love.” He said.
Nora felt it was just a
dream. No! Nothing but a
dream! It can’t be Daniel! Dan
what? Daniel? It can’t… she
just kept muttering. It is
impossible! She kept
wondering.
“You may go inside your
own duty post.” Daniel said to
the gatekeeper as he took off
his hand and held Nora by her
two hands. “I called you my
love, but you haven’t replied
me, Sweetheart.” He added.
Nora just felt she was in
another world already. She
didn’t know what was
happening anymore. She
opened her mouth slightly but
didn’t know the actual word
to come out of it. She was just
dumbfounded.
“Da… Daniel?” She stuttered
as she still wondered if she
was seeing the right human
being.
Daniel chuckled. “So, are you
shocked or what exactly
should this be called?”
“Daniel?” She repeated, this
time pointing her index finger
at him.
“Nora, let’s just go inside. I
have a lot to discuss with
you.” He smiled faintly.
Nora was still in shock. That
was the least thing she could
ever expect! Daniel? She kept
muttering. They took just two
steps, on their way inside the
living room when the gate
was knocked slightly.
The two of them halted as
they watched the security man
rush out of his place to get the
gate. “What! You are not
wanted here!” The man
exclaimed as he peeped
through the gate and saw
Alex.
“I want to pick up my key, I
forgot the key to my house
here.”
“Who cares? You lied the
other time, what are you
doing here? Please, leave.”
“Let me pick up my keys,
man!” Alex bashed the gate
with pressure.
Daniel crossed his hand
over Nora’s neck again, then,
he smiled. “Get the gate
opened.”
The security man paused as
he heard that. He wondered if
it wouldn’t be a crime after
opening the gate for the
unwanted again.
“Sir?” He widened his eyes.
“Sure, open it.” Daniel
deliberately crossed his hand
over Nora for Alex to know he
was already fine with his wife.
As he stood, he was even
boiling because he had caused
pandemonium in his house
again.
“Nonsense!” Alex hissed at
the gatekeeper and walked in
slowly. Raising his head, he
saw Daniel and Nora. He halted
instantly. He was shocked, but
could he say it? How would it
sound to hearing to ask why
couple were standing in that
manner.
Daniel was already
indignant as he saw him. He
had thought in himself earlier
that if he had the chance of
seeing him again, he would
definitely beat the heaven out
of him.
He took off his hand from
Nora and took steps forward.
He was smiling, but deep
inside him, he was boiling in
anger. “Any problem?” He
enquired.
“I only forgot my keys.” Alex
stuttered as he replied. He was
definitely shocked to meet
both of them that way, he
never knew the two wouldn’t
quarrel after his departure.
Daniel took another step
and turned his fist as he blew
Alex mouth angrily. Alex fell
down instantly, rolling on the
floor. Daniel was still not
satisfied, he took some paces
near him again and knelt,
keeping Alex in between his
knees, he continued punching
him till Nora quickly came and
held him, hugging him from
behind.
Daniel calmed down
instantly, breathing heavily.
Thank God he could fulfill his
thoughts, he said happily as
he dipped his hand into his
pocket and threw Alex’s key at
him. “Lock that gate
immediately you throw him
out!” Daniel told the
gatekeeper as he walked
inside the house with Nora.
His hands were already
stained with blood.
