"What's going on here?... What deal are you both talking of?" Akpan inquired amidst his confusion doggedly staring at both parties alternating the stare between both of them.
"Well you see Akpan like I earlier said, you are a moron. Your simplistic mindset is a disaster unto you…." Saviour made a Pause while starring intently at Akpan "...the reason you are here is because of your fiancee…"
When Akpan heard what Saviour said he stared at him confused and perplexed. " Wait…. Wait ...wait like do you mean Kate?" Akpan asked trying to make meaning of the huge reveal he was just told.
"Obviously that' is who im referring to or do you have another fiancee? …" Saviour asked out.Akpan stared fixedly at Kate it appeared like his whole world was coming crashing down. Like which of the gods did he offend to merit this kind of betrayal within a span of two days his eyes was clouded with tears. He stared at Kate expecting an explanation but none came gradually he began wallowing in the depth of despair desperately searching for a hand to come help him out . However, the help came from further explanation from Saviour.
" Oh for Love sake she didn't betray you or something. She is the perfect definition of a committed lady. We just barely aided in breaking you guys up…" Saviour took a huge lump of breath and continue
"... See Akpan like I said , your simplicity is your strength and also your weakness. Before we of the Brotherhood take any action we like making the odds in our favour. As a matter of fact we had our eyes upon you for a while now. We know how you act, how you teact,where you eat, how you eat, where you go to and a whole lot of shit about you. We knew you' always take a stroll l to the cemetery when you are upset and free. So we aided you in taking the stroll that night. You never wondered why a lady you have been dating for three years would end ot with you just for a flimsy reason of comming late?. So we had Kate end it with you . She proved to be a reliable help .. I don't know what so strong about love. She is madly inLove with you dude so much that she was willing to hurt herself just to keep you save. We knew when you'd see the queer object you would require to take it up at work cos that the kind of man you are.. a man who runs to hide behind his work beside we knew your simplicity so well that we knew you would effortlessly fall into our provisions and you proved us right by doing same."
Akpan took a deep breath he was confused as to what emotion to show. Was he to be mad at the girl cos she did some stuff to protect the one she loved ?. Was he to be happy at the realisation? No definitely not cos she kind of brought this upon them. Was he to ignore the girl? No definitely not cos she is the girl he loves. He was currently in a roller coaster of emotions with no definite position to take. He took a deep breath and stared daggers at Saviour while enunciating each word clearly
" I hate you Saviour. I hate ever knowing you. You are a waste of spe*m. You would have had it much better being born a demon at once."
" Thank you for the compliment….." Saviour replied "..... But it doesn't matter if you hate me or not cos what is done is done besides what is your hate to me? A mere blubber and stutter without result.please have a grip of yourself.. I don't care if you hate me or not…" Saviour smiled and effortlessly patted Akpan on his shoulder without care while maintaining his signature smile which to Akpan imagination right now was the incessant heart wrenching and head blocking laughter of a demon.
Akpan felt his whole world come crashing down and rising up again.{ I was such a fool} he thought .{ How couldn'tn't I have observed all of this. Why did I ever doubt her love for me} he kept on asking himself those questions over and over again. Indeed she had been the perfect love for him, always silently staying by his side without demanding anything from him. What a mess he had been.He felt like his heart had been smashed to pieces by a heavy hammer and then remoulded and smashed into pieces again without stopping the cycle. He felt like screaming out his fury, he truly doesn't deserve the love of this astonishing beauty. He just stayed there and truly didn't know when tears began to fall effortlessly from his eyes like a waterfall without stopping or season
