Why is such existing? He asked rhetorically
looking
at his old ceiling fan rotating sluggishly, He
couldn't comprehend his current situation, He
couldn't understand the reason for his predicament.
He was a king in his own mansion, parked in his
garage were different exotic cars, Is it the
respect
he earned from giving a helping hand to others, is
it
the huge sum of money he pays to his employees as
salary, is it the calmness in him, He's got
everything, He possesses all what his generation
and generations to come will enjoy even without
them getting to do any job.
Jason was born 30 years ago to a very wealthy
parents, He was the only son of his parents, all
the love and care of the world was showered on him.
He
was loved not only by his parents but by
everybody
who knows him. There's something triggering this
love
towards him; as wealthy as his parents are, you
can't find him stepping on others or misbehaving,
He wasn't a
spoilt child, He will always make people
understand not all child from a wealthy home is a
spoilt brat.
Jason sat down staring at her, He gazed
passionately at her beautiful countenance, his
ability to be aware of things and to think and
reason brought forth an erotic thoughts, He was
willing to have her instantly, she lay horizontally
on her mattress with her both legs vertically
placed on her cupboard, she noticed David staring
at her, "it is better you take your mind off that,
it won't do you any good but leave you in trauma"
she said jokingly. He smiled broadly and moved
over to her side pretending not to have heard what
she said. He lay on her back using his tongue to
lick her ears romantically, she turned around
facing him, her heart was craving for that French
kiss, "what are you waiting for?" She said, he
smiled and gave her a hot kiss, rolling and biting
her tongue passionately with his. They were
undressing themselves when a sudden bang was
heard at the door, Jason felt like the world is
going to end, "who is that again" she pushed him
away and stood, getting
dressed and heading straight to the door.
Jason was a 300 level student of literature in
Afe
Babalola University when he met Kate, it was at
the school library, Kate had come to look for a
particular reference book to back up her team
explanation on a particular term paper given to
them by one of their lecturers.
On sighting Kate, He couldn't concentrate
anymore, no girl on campus has ever turn him on
like this one, is it the beautiful countenance, is it
the majestic footsteps, is it the beautiful dress she
was putting on, she's got
everything. Jason's friend were getting sick of
him, "if you really need her then go to her" one of
them said. He stood, walking towards her like a
king "He's got this charming smile and good
physique you love, just look at him, he's the
perfect guy for you" This thoughts were running
to and fro in her head.
" Hi, I am Jason, a 300 level student of
literature
and you are", "Kate, a 200 level student of fine
art" she turned around looking closely at the books
in the shelves. "Yes, I found it", "found what"
Jason said, she turned around smiling looking at
his face "I found the reference book we are to use
on a term paper".
Jason was astonished, he was in love, just look at
her
smile, killer smile, a smile that could bring the
universe to obey her command, he finally met
someone whose smile is more killing than his, he
can't just afford to lose her. "Can I be your
friend?" he asked looking closely at her cleavage,
"of course you can Mr. Jason" she said packing her
bag.
Two weeks had passed since they met, the whole
student on campus have heard about Jason's new
girlfriend, A rich gentleman and a beautiful
young lady is the talk on campus, Jason would
flaunt her always and so does she, they were
perfect, very perfect for each other.
Jason, who was still standing, feeling very sad,
wouldn't afford to lose his cleaning job at a nearby
hotel, He took his cup and spoon, pouring into the
cup the rain water he had gotten from a heavy
rainfall last night. He opened his cupboard located
beside his bed, out of it he brought out a black
nylon containing the cassava flakes he had bought
from a neighbouring provision shop, he poured the
cassava flakes into the cup of water and drank it
like he has not eaten for the past thirty days.
"Good morning sir" Jason said, greeting the
manager of the hotel who is a tall dark bearded
man in his late fifties, "Thank God you came early
today, get to work"
Her love for him is increasing day by day, their
love
story remains the trending topic radiating the
school
campus. Jason was preparing to graduate, he
couldn't
afford to lose Kate, how could their love end here,
how is he going to manage his life without Kate by
his side, He decided to give Kate a surprise visit.
Kate, who was listening to music using her
headphone
happen to hear a loud bang at her door, she could
hear it because she had reduces the volume of her
headphone. "Who is it" she said while heading
towards the door, on opening the door, she came in
contact with a beautiful smile on a very handsome
face. "Jason, I am not expecting you here today,
hope all is well" without minding what she had said,
he kissed her on the forehead and headed straight
to her bed, he jumped and landed on her mattress.
"What do you have, I am very hungry" she headed
for the kitchen and brought him the remaining
fried rice she cooked in the morning. "So why this
surprise visit?" Kate said stretching her hands
towards his cup of fruit juice, "I am actually not
happy, I think I can't live without you by my side"
she smiled and said to him "don't worry, my heart
belongs to you alone".
Jason was very scared he might lose Kate, so he
asked her to take a love covenant with him, without
thinking twice, she agreed. They took a love
covenant promising not to marry another person
neither will they fall in love with another person
staking their lives on it.
Jason, been a graduate now manages one of his
father's
company, his kind heart and generosity has really
gone a long way in winning contracts for the
company through the employees. They have been
working harder to keep Jason very close to them.
Jason was busy washing the car of the manager
when a range rover sport drove into the hotel
compound, his
kind of range rover he once had. "Madam, you're
welcome ma" the manager said smiling broadly at
her,
"I want to hold a meeting with you and all those
working here" she said.
Such an angelic voices, one wouldn't forget easily,
there's one person in the world who has such voice,
"Kate!" Jason yelled, with tears rolling down his
cheek, "who are you calling Kate, she's our madam
here, the owner of this hotel, apply some respect
man" The manager said to Jason. Kate couldn't
believed her eyes, she couldn't understand what is
really happening. "Manager, cancel the meeting, I
need to talk to this guy" she said with her eyes
filled with tears.
One major problem he normally encounter is issue
of
seduction from his female employees, it is becoming
too much that he couldn't resist any longer. He
hasn't seen Kate for three years now, her phone
number is no longer going through, he can't hold
himself any longer, he really want to get laid.
It happened on his bed that look just like a royal
chamber, he got laid for two hours non-stop.
Shortly
after the done deed, he felt as if he's no more
complete, he felt something tangible has been
taken out from his body and soul.
Two months had passed, his parents were sick. the
ordered goods from abroad which was transported on
a
ship sank deep into the sea, on hearing the news,
his
father collapsed and was struck with a stroke, his
mum who couldn't help the situation fell sick.
Debts came calling, they had to sell their property
to
settle all debts, Jason been the only child had to
take care of his sick parents from the money he got
after selling most of his father's property,
everything was becoming worst.
He was in deep thoughts when his phone rang, it
was
the doctor taking care of his parents, he rushed to
the hospital only to be informed about the death of
his parents, he was so bitter.
"So all this happened!" Kate said, she feel very sad
and bad. "We relocated to Ghana and that has
automatically get my phone number changed, I lost
all my contact including yours" she hold his hands
and asked "Do you have a girlfriend?" He
answered and said "no" feeling very devastated.
"Did you had sex or fall in love with anyone after
you left school?" "Yes I did".
Ohh!! He remembered, it rang in his head, the love
covenant they took, it was his decision, how could he
have forgotten such thing.
"That is it Jason, I kept to my words because I
know
the gravity of the love covenant we took,
remember
we staked our lives, I had hope I'll find you again
but you, what did you do?
You're the cause of your predicament Jason, You're
the murderer of your parents, you are the cause of
your fall, the fall that has brought you down to
my hotel to be a cleaner". She was heartbroken and
bitter.
Jason couldn't utter a word, he cursed the day he
got
laid, that laid had cause his fall, he cursed himself,
he felt like giving up the ghost, maybe all his
predicament has been exchanged with his life,
maybe
he was given another grace to live.
THE END. |
