Chereads / WHO IS YOUR FRIEND / Chapter 3 - Chapter Three

Chapter 3 - Chapter Three

It was not going down well with Chisoma.She had no idea of what they were talking about or who they were even referring to.To her,she felt they have the wrong person.She didn't even know Clement by name.All she called him was sir and that's all.Besides,she and Clement never spoke even beyond five minutes.She felt that God had actually sent a helper to aid her from her troubles.As if that was not enough,Irene gave her another slap that made her cry bitterly.

"Irene,take it easy.I'm the victim here.She is just a child" Benita said.

Aside all her toughness on Clement,there was no doubt that she had compassion.Inasmuch as she was being influenced by her friend,she felt that the way they were treating her was not right.She may have slept with her husband,but it doesn't change the fact that she was just a teenager.

"You see,you are the cause of your own problems Benita.Why won't your husband cheat on you all the time if you continue to act like mother Mary." Irene scorned her.

"It hasn't gotten to that Irene,that is not why we even came here" Benita said.

"Oh really, so can you tell me what we actually came here for" Benita asked.

For some reason she was over reacting.You would expect Benita being the victim to even act that way but not her.Benita just went closer to Chisoma

"Look young lady,you have to tell me the business you have with my husband before I also get angry" She asked her.

"Madam, I don't know what you are talking about.I don't know your husband" Chisoma said.

Benita began wondering if they were actually in the right room.The poor young lady looked really innocent and incapable of sleeping with someone's husband.

"Irene,do you think we are in the right room" Benita asked.

"Oh so now what?You actually believe in that snake" Irene said

"Why are you even acting that way,it was just a question" Benita said.

That was the moment Clement finally came rushing in to meet his wife and Irene.Chisoma was in tears when he came.Because of her condition,Clement just ran towards Chisoma to see if she was alright ignoring the presence of his wife and Irene

"Are you okay Chisoma? Clement asked.

Chisoma kept on crying that Clement took out his handkerchief and gave to her to wipe of her tears.

"So it's true, you have finally settled down with young girls now right" Benita said.

"I have had enough of you already Benita.Grow up for once" Clement said. He was really upset now and couldn't deal with the attitude of his wife any longer.

"What Clement? Did you really say that to me? Benita who was very much shocked about Clement's reaction asked.

"I told you Benita.I told you" Irene said.

"Will you shut up there you old fool.Why won't you go and find your own husband" Clement shouted at Irene.

Irene got scared that Clement finally succeeded in shutting her up.

"You don't talk to my friend that way Clement" Benita said trying to stand up for her friend.

"Whatever.This girl you see here is just a poor orphan I met on the streets.She was in labor when I met her,so I had to help her out.I tried telling you but you wouldn't just listen to me.I can't believe you will think I'm sleeping around with her" Clement said.

"Stop it Clement,stop lying to me.How can you make up such a story? I'm not a kid" Benita said.

"I don't care what you think.Now that you know who she is,she is coming home with us" Clement said.

"What?!! You can't be serious" Benita shouted out.

"We have always wanted a child;take a good look at the poor girl.Don't you think we should start parenting her,rather you standing here making baseless accusations" Clement said.

Suddenly,Irene signaled Benita to excuse herself so she can talk to her without Clement hearing it.Benita did just that and went towards to Irene

They began talking in low tone that Clement couldn't even hear them.

"I think you must consider what your husband is saying" Irene said.

"What? Whose side are you on anyway?" Benita asked.

"Look I know you think I must be crazy,but the only way to find out if your husband is cheating on you or not is keep your eyes on the girl." Irene said.

"You can only do that from the comfort of your house, where you are in charge" Irene continued.

"Hmm,you have a point" Benita said.

Benita then had to play along as if she was in favor with her husband's decision but she had her own motive.

"Clement,I think I will agree with what you said.Maybe we can be a parent to her."Benita said.

"You agree?It was never a request in the first place.That was my decision." Clement said.He then took Chisoma's luggage and together with Benita,they went out of the room leaving the two friends,Benita and Irene

"Benita,I think you must really prepare for what is coming because I can see something really bad happening" Irene said.

"I hope we made the right decision." Benita said.She then went out of the hotel with Irene.
