A ROAD TO NOWHERE
Episode 7
“I said I’m going out to meet with a client, I have work to do, unlock the door Clara, stop all this, is driving me crazy…
Clara was enjoying her rice and fried chicken lap, and was not paying attention to what Ryan was saying, she put this “I don’t care attitude” as she battles with her food, Ryan walked up and down and hit the wall, he was getting out of patient with Clara, he thought within himself, Clara now detect everything he does, how can a mere woman control him, tell him what to do and have to approve his going out, today he has planned to go and see Sarah, since the last incident, after Clara fought her and beat her up he has not seen her, he need to see her, she’s the only one that always understands him, he will plead with her continuously until she forgives him, if not he may probably loose his sanity, he really need Sarah, he has hide in the toilet to call Sarah but she was not picking her calls, he has sent messages but no respond, after sending he will delete the message from his phone before Clara will see it. anytime he wants to call her he will have to hide in the toilet or wait for Clara to sleep first before he can do that, Clara was driving him crazy everyday, and with the pregnancy she has authority to do and undo, he so much hate her and hate himself for ever getting entangled with her, if he knows things are going to turn out bad he would have stick to Sarah and Becca, and continue with his game, he controls women, women doesn’t control him, but now Clara who seem to be acting like a witch is dictating for him, everything he does now is Clara, his feeding, his wears, where he goes to, even dictates his phone calls, if anybody calls him she will want him to put the call on speaker or not to pick at all, she has so much strength and was too violent, even with her pregnancy, the last time he tried to engage her to a fight Clara broke his head with a bottle, and he never dares tries to lay hand on her again, he so much hate her, but he has to live with it, he has no choice right now until he comes up with a better plan on her to get ride of her, Oscar would have saved him from all this mess if he has agreed to the plan of terminating Clara’s pregnancy, instead of working with him like a friend would, Oscar warned never to call him again for such a thing, and Clara was very smart, even the abortion pill he bought and put in her drink she didn’t drink she poured it away, she was cunning as a serpent, she knows his every move and knows what he was always up to that was why he kept saying Clara must be a witch who was sent to terrorizing him. All he want to do is to see Sarah, Sarah will be able to calm him down, she will care for him like a woman would, not like Clara, who will rather send him out of his own room so that she can have the whole bed to herself. Ryan thought of all the terrible things that Clara has being doing since she stepped into his life, he was so tired but didn’t know what to do, he wondered how a woman controls and dictate for him now, he use to be the king of the game but not again since Clara stepped in, now he can’t even call Becca or go to her place, Clara will never allow that, he wish he has ended up with Sarah or Becca, not somebody like Clara who will kill him before his time. And he is not ready to die yet, he still want to enjoy life, if Clara will even allow that, everyday with Clara in it is a terrible day, he wish Oscar was here to help, Oscar would have put Clara in her place, but everybody has left him and he is stuck with a wicked witch in Clara’s form. He has to find a way to leave this house so that he can go and see Sarah
“Clara please… I’m begging, yes I’m on my knee…you know we need money, and I know today is Saturday, but that’s what my client want, he is not chanced other days, so today he asked me to come to his place, I need to go. And he is ready to pay so much money…I can’t disappoint him, he is a reliable customer…please Clara get the keys and open the door let me go…
“and I said you are not going anywhere, today is Saturday, what kind of client is that, you want to go and meet with your numerous girls, that line is not working because I’m not a fool, call the client and tell her, because I know is her, that your wife, woman, baby mama, girlfriend or your witch… whichever one that suits you, is fine by me, tell the person that i locked the door and hide the key, and you are under house arrest…yes tell them I said, you are not stepping an inch Ryan…we are both going to be in this together today…
“you are a terrible person, I so much hate you, you will regret everything you are doing to me, I hate you for frustrating my life, you are a witch, how do you feel controlling me as if I’m a little boy, if not for that “thing” you called pregnancy you are carrying I would have punch the living daylight out of you…you are so evil Clara and I hate myself for ever getting down with you…
“hahaha…is that the only name you know of, because calling me a witch or saying I’m evil sounds like a compliments to me, you better get use to this life style because that’s how I have signed it to be, calling me names will not save you from anything, but if you dare call my child, your unborn baby names I will be glad to poison you Ryan, don’t you dare call my baby a “thing” next time, let this be your last, get use to me here because I have come to stay for a very long time, am not the kind of girl you mess around with, punching the living day light out of me is only possible if you see a hand to do that…because I will use machete, yes I have one hidden somewhere, I bought that big long sharp knife not to butcher meat but for you, any day you decided to raise a hand on me before your hand will land on my body is already on the ground, dangling lifelessly, do not dare me Ryan, I’m far too dangerous than you can imagine, and I will do that and nothing will happen, just don’t dare…
“I’m in a serious mess….Jesus Christ…what did I get myself into…Clara, do you know you are a woman…women don’t act like you do, why not loosen up… men are meant to always be in charge not women…what has gotten into you, okay I have accepted already to father the…the child, yes, I agreed we will do co parenting, and whatever you want, I agreed to everything you say why don’t i still get my freedom, why… why are you putting me in a bondage, because staying in this house with you is a bondage, we had agreement in the beginning, you said you don’t mind having other women, in the beginning of this our saddened relationship you assured me that you have no problem with your man cheating or going out with other women, as far as he is taking care of your needs, but all that has change, this is opposite of everything you said and we agreed on…why are you doing this…what do you want from me again…I’m so tired from all this..
“is because you are a big cow, you don’t have brain, or maybe your brain was paining you that was why you quickly believed me, you were already having two women, using them anyhow you like, Becca and Sarah, you play with them anyway and anyhow, and the two fools don’t know the kind of man you are, well I’m here to tell you that not every woman is a fool, and is not all ladies that you can mess with and get away with it, I’m here to stay so deal with it Ryan, what do you even have that you are feeling so proud, you think you can get away with anything, , at first I wanted your friend, Oscar, he is far too handsome than you and yet he is humble, do you see him messing around, no, well he didn’t want me, and since I couldn’t get him I came for you and you fell even before I open my mouth to say a word, because you are a chronic womanizer, you go after everything under skirt, the two girls you already have wasn’t enough you decided to add a dangerous one to the list, a scorpion who will stink you if you dare crosses her. Yes that’s what I am and I’m proud of that. …anyway I’m craving for ice cream, I will only allow you out of that door because of I want Ice cream and I give you just two hours to come back home or you should package a good explanation to give me, two hours Ryan, one hour is to drive down to your so called client’s place, since you say the man is paying good money, you must come back with lots of money and give me my own share, no jokes, and after attending to your client the remaining hour drive down to any cold stone ice cream shop and get me my favorite, then head back home immediately, if you like add poison in the ice cream, we will lick it together and we will die together, stop thinking you are smart because you are not, your time start immediately I unlock that door, you better use your time well or you will have me to contend with, I guess you wouldn’t want that…
Oscar has already told Sarah about his feeling and their relation has kick off, Sarah was happy to be in Oscar’s care, she knows that Oscar will help her forget everything about Ryan,
Oscar was so happy to be with the woman he really love, he thought of Melinda and how he dismissed her,
Melinda already knows that Oscar will probably leave her for Sarah, she was not happy about that but she accepted her fate, even when Oscar wanted to talk to her she already knows what he was about to say.
“i have thought of how to disclose this to you without hurting your feeling Melinda…I don’t take pleasure in this, I have always love Sarah, I know that me and you have a beautiful connection, and we were about to make it official when Sarah came…you are good lady with a beautiful soul and cute smile, you were there when I needed a friend, and you were a great friend, and we find ourselves falling for each other until Sarah appear, I don’t want our friendship to end just because of my relationship with Sarah, we can still be just friends if you don’t mind…but I really need you to understand why I have to do this…
Melinda sniff, and blink back tears, she can’t cry or show weakness now in front of Oscar, even if he chose another over her, which is very hurtful she will not allow him to see how every of his word is like a sharp knife cutting through her. She has really wanted Oscar and she knew he wants her and they have being the best of friends, finding comfort in each others arm, she has looked forward to spending more of that beautiful moment with Oscar but is very unfortunate that Sarah who he said was his friends girlfriend, and he has wanted her back then but she didn’t want him and she made that clear and even reported Oscar to her boyfriend then which caused fight between the two friends, and now Sarah who her boyfriend jilted, have to come for Oscar. just because her boyfriend has abandoned her, Melinda felt like kicking or breaking something, as she thought of everything, Melinda was sad that she and Oscar has to depart this way, it was painful but she accepted everything Oscar said because she love him, she have to agree and let him go, since he said they can be friends, is fine by her, she will still get time to see him once in a while.
After two months, Melinda who hasn’t really seen Oscar for sometime was feeling confuse, he comes to work and always act busy avoiding her, anytime she call to check up he will talk so fast dismissing her so quick, he was always busy now that he has a new girlfriend, and hardly respond to her calls anymore or messages, so she decided to go check up on him in his house, it was weekend and he will be at home,
As she went down to his place and knocked on the door Oscar answered the door, and was not so happy to see her,
But he asked her to come inside, Sarah was sitting in the living room, watching TV, Sarah didn’t bother to greet or respond well when Melinda greeted her, Melinda wondered if she should go back to her house because the environment was not okay for her, she doesn’t want to bring trouble between Oscar and Sarah, she only wanted to check up on him, and since he said they can be friends she also wanted to keep it that way, but it seem that Oscar want to cut her off totally which was still very understandable for her, so she smile even when she knew the smile was not real but she needed to ease off the tense environment that she was in,
“I wanted to say hello to you guys, I guess Oscar has being busy with work, and is being months since I hard from him… so as a friend…I wanted to check…if everything was alright…
Sarah was fuming with anger on seeing Melinda who was still standing and talking with a beautiful smile while Oscar looks at her and smile along, Sarah didn’t bother to ask her to sit because she doesn’t want her around, and even if Oscar want to do that he will not because she has had issue with him because of Melinda, most time when Melinda calls him she was with him, she has told Oscar to tell Melinda to stop calling him and for him to stop seeing her except he doesn’t want a relationship with her anymore, and Oscar who can’t possibly do that to Melinda started avoiding her instead, but Melinda coming to the house to check up on Oscar made Sarah more angry.
“Melinda…if Oscar is afraid to tell you that you are coming in between us, if he can’t tell you that I don’t like another woman with my man, then let me make it clear to you, Oscar is in a relationship now, you two can’t be friends, it will start with being friends and it will end up in his bed, then lies to cover up, you can’t be calling him or coming to his house, you have to stop that, because you will not like another woman interfering in your relationship, I don’t like it, trying to craw back into his life with that method of preteens doesn’t work, it will just start with that… he will end up cheating on me like my ex did, and it will be you, I don’t want to fight my man over any lady and I don’t want any woman near him, whatever you have before ended the moment I stepped into his life, accept defeat and leave him alone, everybody must not be a winner all the time, leave my man alone, stop making me remember what my ex was like, Oscar ended things with you, move on with your life and leave him alone…
Oscar stood and watch the two women, Melinda has a calm look as she listened to Sarah throw words at her, he didn’t like the way Sarah was dismissing Melinda because Melinda has always being good to him, she has being a great friend before Sarah came back to him, although Melinda was calm but he knew that she was probably boiling inside, so he tried to stop Sarah but Sarah lashed out at him..
“Sarah, is enough, is okay…you have said enough and I guess Melinda understands already, she only wanted to check up and she will leave now…I have told you severally that your ex is your ex, I’m not him and he is not me, I have said that uncountable times, don’t always bring him in every conversation, you must not include Ryan in all your conversation, please drop this, that’s enough please…
“Don’t tell me is enough again Oscar, except you are like your friend Ryan, who can’t control himself when it comes to women, you knew how he cheated on me with different women and now you want to start yours, if you want Melinda then say it, I will walk out and you will never see or hear from me again, all men are the same, look at you defending her, I hate to share my man, and I know you will not be happy if another man keep calling me or walk in like Melinda did, you won’t…. so what is wrong with you men that you can’t stick to one woman…
“Sarah, calm down, I and Oscar has nothing together and he is not the type that will hurt his woman, I was only calling as a friend, and since you are not comfortable with it I will stop, I promise you, I will never come close to Oscar again, but make sure you don’t hurt him, make sure you love him as much as he do, even if is not up to his own but let it be close, because if you hurt him, you have hurt a good man and a man who is ready to die for you, and that will be too sad and too disappointing, I wish you both happiness, and may you always find reasons to smile, please do not see me as a threat, I’m not, Oscar is not like your ex, Oscar is a good man and he is ready to cherish you forever, please don’t hurt him because if you do… I won’t be there to mend back his broken heart like the first… you hurt him before and I help him through it, and then he was fine and then you came back and took him, I’m pleading to you Sarah not to hurt him again because I will be living my own life and I will not be there to help him get over you again…I will not. Because we are cutting tiers after this day.
Sarah lash out at Melinda, but Melinda gently apologize before turning to leave, two people can not be crazy at same time Melinda thought within herself as she leave.
Oscar was getting irritated at Sarah’s outburst, he loved her very much and hate it when she is acting this way, all men are not the same, he tried to prove that to her severally, and she was already coming to understand the difference between him and Ryan, but no day will pass without Sarah mentioning Ryan, either in a normal gist, or in an argument, she even sometime calls him Ryan instead of Oscar, he will have to correct her before she understand herself, he has tried to stop her from doing that but have to let her be, maybe with time she will stop, all that matters is that he love her, he hate how Sarah was humiliating Melinda, who was gradually walking to the door after apologizing, but Sarah followed her warning her never to call or come looking for him, so when Melinda stepped outside he followed her to apologize to her for Sarah’s behavior,
“I am very sorry Melinda…Sarah doesn’t like other women around me, and I understand her, is very normal, please don’t take whatever she says to heart, she is only protecting what that is hers, she got bad experience with her ex, so I’m trying to erase that memory. Please don’t call or try to come over for now, I don’t like it when Sarah is sad, and you mentioned earlier about she probably hurting me in the future, you shouldn’t have said that, that was not necessary, because Sarah will never do that I promise you, and even if it happen I will never come to you Melinda, I will never need you to mend my heart because is never going to be broken by Sarah, I love her and she loves me too, we understand each other, just a little normal argument sometime, which is mostly when she start talking about her ex and I don’t like hearing that or when she sees your call on my phone, this doesn’t make us enemy Melinda, but I just have to respect my woman’s wish…
“Yeah…is fine, but do you know you are crazy, yes, you are Oscar, how can you just throw everything we had into a waste bin just because your woman said so, I was not calling or checking on you because I want you, Oscar I was doing that because is in my nature to care, most especially to my close friend, we bonded so fine Oscar…we were cool and then she came and you are cutting me off, is painful but I understand anyway…I will never call again, never Oscar, i wish you the best of life with her, and I pray she will always make you happy like you will make her.
Melinda left and that was the end they hard of her.
After Clara permitted Ryan to go out for two hours he quickly drove to Sarah’s place. Two hours was enough for him to do what he want to do, he will try to see if he can convince Sarah, she is the only remedy for him, he need to breathe new fresh air, Clara was really choking him real hard.
