IN THE DARK SEASON 2
EPISODE 12
Kelvin urged me to have a meal with him, i hesitated for awhile but i later agreed. We had a meal of fried rice and plantain with assorted meat. Kelvin was naughty throughout the meal. He kept on putting alot of meat into my plate claiming that it been long he had seen me eat and i should eat all the meal i had missed with him. I would put the meat back into his plate and he would return it, this was how we behaved like a child till we ended the meal.
After the meal, we went back to Kelvin’s room with our drinks. Kelvin requested me to tell him all that had happened to me over the years and i did but i skipped every part that included Jordan. I could not tell him about Jordan without including the part where he betrayed me, so i kept everything about him from kelvin. I was still telling kelvin about my past when my phone started to ring. Before i could reach for the phone, it stopped to ring. I unlocked the phone and saw more than twenty missed calls from Jordan. I saw new messages from him as well. Not until i read the messages did i remember that we were suppose to be on a date that evening. I murmured “OMG” and dialed his number. The line went through but he did not accept my call. I became worried, i sent a message but did not get a reply. I became worried, hoping Jordan was not mad at me. I was lost on what to do as stared at the screen of my phone.
“Any problem?” kelvin’s question brought me back to reality. I sighed and said “I was suppose to be on a date”. “with me?” kelvin asked with a smile. I hissed playfully and told him no. “Are you in a relationship?” kelvin asked. I thought for a second and said “No”. Kelvin hummed and said “I want you to meet my mom, she is in the next building”. I agreed and we left.
We got to a bigger apartment behind kelvin’s and kelvin ushered me in. We met his mom in the dinning room, having her desert. She replied casually to my greetings at first before kelvin whispered something into her ears. She then stood from where she was sitted and hugged me warmly. She held me close to herself and said “You are welcome my wife. Am sorry about your lost, am sure you are stronger now. Please feel at home and see me as your mother”. I blushed at the mention of wife and looked at kelvin, he winked at me playfully and looked away.
Kelvin’s mom made me join her on the table and she continued to ask me questions, i felt relax with her during the chat.
The ringing of my phone interupted my conversation with kelvin’s mom. The caller I.D was mi mom’s. She asked why i was late and informed me that Jordan came looking for me. At the mention of Jordan, i realised i was yet to get to him. I told kelvin and his mom that i would love to take my leave and they both saw me off to the car. Kelvin wanted to drive me home while a driver would drive my car but i objected with the excuse that i would be going to see a friend before heading home. I drove out of the compound with both mother and son waving at me.

I tried Jordan’s line continuously until i got to his house with luck, the line went through but he did not answer my call. I rushed into his house immediately i parked. I met his mom in the livingroom,she turned to face me immediately she noticed me and said “My dear, what are you doing here? Jordan said you have a date” I greeted her and told her i could not meet up with the date and Jordan had not been picking his call. Jordan’s mom called Jordan with her line but he did not answer his call as well. I sat with his mom, waiting for his arrival with worries.
Time checked 8:00pm, Jordan’s dad arrived from work. He was as well surprised to see me,he asked why i was looking worried and Jordan’s mom told him all that happened. Jordan’s dad laughed and told us not to worry about a grown up man. He told me to go home and wait for his call and i left for home reluctantly.
Throughout the ride home, i tried Jordan’s line without luck.
Mi mom welcomed me with question immediately i arrived home, and i took my time to narrate all that happened to my foster parent. They were happy about my reunion with kelvin and mi dad saw kelvin’s position as a plus to our family. I told Mi mom i was yet to reach Jordan and she consoled me with the probability of him been bussy. I could not have dinner that night, i went to bed with worries about Jordan’s where about. I also called Khole and narrated the whole event of the day to her before i slept, she was also happy about kelvin.

The ringing of my phone work me up the following morning, i slowly opened my eyes and got my phone from my table. Before i could unlock my phone, it started to ring again, the caller I.D was “Maami”( Jordan’s mom). I quickly accepted the call and said hello. “Nancy you need to come over immediately, its Jordan”. She said hurriedly and ended the call. I froze…………

I froze immediately, i could not make out on what to do. I quickly tried Jordan’s mom line again, it went through but she did not answer my call. I could not even take my bath, i rushed out of my room bare footed. I was in tears already, i could not bare to lose someone i love again. I rushed to my foster parent’s room and quickly told them that Jordan was in danger. Not until Mi mom told me to change my cloth, did i realise that i was still in my night gown. I quickly rushed to my room and wore the first top and pant i laid my hands on. I could hear my foster parent calling out on me to take things easy as i ran out of the house. Not until i made to open my car door did i realise that i was not with the key. I ran into the house and ran back with the keys before i zoomed off.
I could not wait for the gate man to open the gate when i got to Jordan’s house. I quickly parked outside and rushed into the house, ignoring the security man greetings.
I was so astonished when i met Jordan’s dad reading from the daily newspaper in the livingroom. I greeted him briefly and asked him of Jordan’s whereabout. He smiled and told me he was fine before asking me to take i sit. I impatiently took a sit opposit him. Jordan’s dad cleared his throat and said “Nancy, he is fine, believe me” i smiled nervously and noded. He then continue and said
“I dont want you to see this discussion as a way of poke nosing into your private life please. I believe you know that my son is madly inlove with you? He love you to the extent that he can hurt himself if you fail him. Take for instance, just because you could not make the dinner arranged yesterday, for reason best known to you. Jordan went ahead and got himself drunk, he got involved in an accident on his way home. Thank God it was just a minor accident but what if it was a serious one? Who will be blamed? Will you be blamed for disappointing him and making him feel dejected? Or will he be blamed for loving you and acting foolishly out of the fear of been rejected? Please whatever he might have done to hurt you do forgive him, and do not allow another incidence like this occur again, please my dear. Am not in the position to advice you relationship wise but please accept my advise. He is my only child and i want the best for the both of you. I hope you understand?”
I breathe a sigh of relief and told Jordan’s dad that i understood him perfectly well. He smiled and told me to give him a hug, i did and he patted me lightly on the back. I felt sorry for making a father worried over his only child. I asked for the address of the hospital Jordan was been admitted and he told me. I hurried out and head to the hospital with the determination to be a better girlfriend to Jordan. “I never knew he love me this much” I thought with a smile.
