Episode 28

“Hanna are you OK?”Clara asked holding her as she staggered back. She jacked off her hand looking at Charlie then walked away leaving her friends behind. “I told you guys to go easy on her”Clara said to Mina.
Justin left the scene with Charlie, leaving Lucia and the girls behind.

“Won’t you guys leave or you want me to show you the way to go”Lucia said moving closer to them. The girls moved back slowly as she went closer. “Let’s go guy”a girl said and they all left.

Justin took Charlie to a more quiet place. He dropped her hand looking at her. “Is that true?”he asked staring at her. “Yes. I plan to tell you but…but.. But”Charlie stuttered.
“No matter what the situation is. My love is still there for you. Charlie, that can’t stop me from loving you OK”Justin said looking at her. “Am sorry for that”Charlie said not looking at him. Justin moved closer to her and hugged her. “It’s OK. Don’t be sorry, and don’t keep anything from me again. I love you more than that”Justin said strolling her hair gently. “Thank you for understanding me. I love you too”Charlie said hugging him back.

Hanna was standing at a corner still pondering over what happened. “That girl is just too much. What does she have that I don’t. Beauty? Wealth? Or what? what does she possess that I don’t?”Hanna said aloud looking angry.

She brought out packet of cigarette and took a stick from it. She was about lighting it when she remembered what Daniel said to her.
” Pretty girls use to like this instead of that”

She dropped the cigarette and bent down slowly burying her face down. “What should I do now? Am seriously boiling in anger”she said roughing her hair with both hand.
She noticed someone’s feet before her and she raised her face up. “You’re here again”Daniel said looking down at the cigarette she left. “Just ignore me”Hanna said not looking at him. Daniel took out a stick sweet from his pocket and bent down beside her”here”he said stretching it to her. Hanna collected it not looking at him. “Thanks for this”she said opening the wrap.

“Are you like this because of Justin?”Daniel asked. Hanna looked at him wondering how he knew that. “How do you…”

“I noticed that ever since we were lost in in the forest”Daniel said not looking at her. Hanna dipped the sweet in her mouth holding the stick. “You noticed that sooner. But justin does not even blink an eye over it. That’s so bad”she said squeezing her face.

Hanna took out the sweet from her mouth looking at Daniel”why are you always with sweets? Are you a kid or what”she asked looking at him.

“Well I have a lot of that because of someone”he said looking at her. “Who? Your friend? Who’s it?”she asked wondering who could have love sweet so much. “She’s a friend I don’t like seeing her engage in bad acts that can hurt her later”Daniel said smiling. “Oh does she love sweets that much?”she asked again. “Am not really sure she like them. Because. But I hope she could drop that bad practice and take the sweets instead”Daniel said looking at her. Hanna stared at him wondering who he’s talking about. “OK. I think the sweet taste better”Hanna said nodding her head to him. Daniel smiled looking at her”good thing she like the sweet”he said and stood up to leave. “Did she really like it?”Hanna said silently to herself. “Bye I’ll be going for now.”Daniel said looking at her. Hanna also stood up dusting her dress. Daniel turned to go but turned back and moved to Hanna’s ear”and she’s so pretty too”Daniel said smiling then he left Hanna and walked on.

“Jeez. Pretty my a-s. Why telling me that? Am more prettier than her”Hanna said rolling her eyes. “Wait. Did she really like this sweet because she’s pretty?”Hanna said to her self. “Whatever, I don’t care”she said aloud and left the scene.
:
Justin dropped Charlie home at their gate. “Goodbye. I’ll call you when I get home”he said. “OK bye”Charlie said waving at him. Justin waited until she went through the gate before leaving also. Charlie got to the compound and saw her mum. “Mum”she called looking at her. “Welcome dear”madam Susan said hugging her. She noticed Justin was the one that dropped her.

They both went inside. Charlie dropped her bag and sat on the sofa. “Charlie what’s the relationship between you and Justin?”madam Susan asked with a serious face. “Mum. Actually, I have want to tell you that a long time but I don’t know what you’ll say about it”Charlie said twisting her fingers looking guilty”What did you want to say? What are you guys up to?”madam Susan asked looking at her. “Mum. I love him. We’re dating already. Sorry for not telling you earlier”she said looking at madam susan. On hearing that, madam Susan rose on her feet not looking happy about it. “What? You’re dating Mr Henry’s son?”she asked looking at her. “Yes mum. I love him so much. And I think it’s time you know about it.”Charlie said looking at her. “Never. That’s impossible. That can never happen between you guys. Charlie it’s 100percent impossible”madam Susan said looking at her. Charlie rose on her feet staring at her in confusion”why mum. Why are you acting this way? I love him more than you thought mum”Charlie said with tears streaming down her cheek.

She never saw her mum go against her decision so strongly before. She wondered what the problem is.
