Must Read: Cyber lover - Season 1 - Episode 46

This wasn‟t the way Michael had dreamt this
weekend would go, but despite everything that
had happened, he was glad to now have her
by his side. Of course, he couldn‟t still make
out what was happening to her, but he was
sure that nothing, not even the devil, himself,
could make him let her go now. He looked at
her and realized that she was already
sleeping. He didn‟t want to wake her, so he
just kept holding her as he admired her
beautiful body. * * * Michael had not been
able to get Brenda and yesterday‟s event out
of his mind. In fact he had slept with the
thought and it still persisted even though the
day was half way gone. He was more
confused than a lost infant. He didn‟t know
how to handle Brenda‟s situation. Was she
possessed by demons? Was she hallucinating?

Who was Cain? Did she have a history with
this sort of thing? Backing off wasn‟t an
option.

He had already formed a very strong
emotional attachment towards her; not to
mention their steamy tango that day – he
won‟t be a happy man if he left her. Besides,
she needed him now and standing by her
would prove his love for her and increase his
chance of having her to himself. He was very
concerned for her and was even more worried
that he could proffer no solution to her
problem. He could feel her pain, her confusion
and her worries. From the way she acted
yesterday, it was obvious that, although she
was sure of what was happening to her, she
was frightened and helpless about her
situation. Something beyond her control was
manipulating her and she was scared to
death.

Yesterday‟s event was scary and mysterious.

Was there any sort of danger? No! He
shouldn‟t be thinking like that. Then he
remembered her standing almost naked before
him. What a body! He couldn‟t help lusting
after the little he saw of her body even before
their encounter. It had almost distracted him
from what was really happening to her. And
then she had slept soundly on him after the
s-x, looking so vulnerable and desirable, he
recalled. The way she had leaned on his body,
just like an infant who was so much
dependent on its mother. Wow! He was glad
she had found comfort in him and he was
ready to give her more comfort if given the
opportunity. It was almost 2:00 p.m. that
Sunday afternoon. He was just relaxing on his
bed. Thoughts of Brenda had handicapped his
normal Sunday activities. He wanted to pay
her a visit but thought against that. He had
called her instead and was happy to hear her
sweet gentle voice sounding lively and
cheerful.

She had said she was feeling better and from
the sound of her voice, he believed her. His
thought drifted to fantasies of him and Brenda
having romantic moments, but the sudden
ringing of his phone brought him back to
reality. It was his friend, Joel. “Are you at
home?” Joel asked over the phone. “Yes. I am
just relaxing at home; I don‟t feel like going
out today,” he lazily answered. “Is everything
alright? What‟s bothering you, Michael? I can
detect something from the way you sound.”
“How do I sound? I am the psychologist here,
you know?” Michael replied defensively. He
was surprised that Joel could detect
something in his voice. Had he been that
carried away? “I may not be a psychologist,
but I can tell when a friend is worried. I am
passing by your street. I just thought that I
should perhaps check on you.” “That will be
nice. As a matter of fact, I can do with the
company now.”

Joel knocked on the door a few minutes later.

Michael was already in the sitting room
waiting for him. He had decided to seek Joel‟s
opinion on Brenda‟s issue. The sudden
presence of Joel made him realize that he was
actually lonely. Joel, on the other hand, was
looking excited. “Is this how you intend to
spend your Sunday after much stress during
the week? What is the matter with you?” Joel
asked as he shook hands with Michael and
made for the nearest seat. “I am okay; I just
didn‟t feel like hanging out today, besides it‟s
just almost 3:00 p.m. I might still change my
mind.” “Michael, you are not being honest
with me. It‟s that girl, right?

Brenda?” “What
are you, a psychic? Well, you sort of got it
right, though,” Michael agreed. “Wow, what is
the problem? I can see she is really getting
you worked up.” Joel was concerned. “A lot
had happened; I really need to talk to
someone.”

Without wasting much time, Michael told him
the situation so far. He concentrated more on
the mysterious Cain, leaving out their sexual
tango since he‟d come to see that incident as
a mistake he dared not repeat. “I think you
should take her to a spiritual healer or
something. This is far beyond Psychology or
Medicine,” Joel concluded afterwards. His
cheerful face was now looking more confused
than ever. “I suggested that but she rejected
the idea. Besides, that suggestion implies that
I think she is insane. I am afraid of losing the
confidence she has in me. She needs someone
who she can trust, someone who will stand by
her. And I want to be that person.” Michael
looked helpless. “But you can‟t just sit there
and watch her gradually tear up
psychologically,” Joel said. “Well, I am
actually hoping that Cain will not appear or
disturb her again. Maybe I scared him away.”
Joel was surprised, “This is crazy, Michael,
there was nobody there. She needs prayers.
And even if there was a ghost,” he sounded
skeptical, “you can‟t scare him, he is
interested in you. Ghosts don‟t go away that
easily. God, this is crazy!” Michael suddenly
looked up at Joel. “You are beginning to scare
me. I am asking for help here, can you do that
for me?” “Have you spoken to her today?” Joel
asked, wondering what sort of help Michael
expected him to render. “Yes, she sounded
alright. And I hope it remains like that. Look,
Joel, this girl is really a wonderful person; I
am so much in love with her, she is just the
kind of girl I have been praying for.” “Take it
easy with her since you like her this much.

You must devote more time to her, talk to her
and let her tell you everything. I believe you
are the best man to handle her.

I also believe that only what she says can be
used to help her.” “Well, I will try my best. It‟s
time I let the psychologist in me out. It‟s just
that I never bargained for something
mysterious like this, but I will face it.” “Yes,
you never bargained to struggle for her with a
ghost called Cain,” Joel bantered. “What an
interesting name; wasn‟t Cain the first
murderer in the Bible? Do you think they could
have something in common?” “Joel! Are you
going to continue to scare the s--t out of my
pants? You are bringing a whole new
dimension to the story!” Joel had really gotten
his attention with that statement. Could the
name suggest that Cain is a murderer?

Suddenly, he didn‟t want to discuss the issue
anymore. “Enough of me; how is the wife?”
“Oh, she has a guest who is keeping her busy
all day. I saw it as an opportunity to come out
for a while. At least, she won‟t need or miss
me for a while.” Joel was glad for the change
of topic.
