TRAUMA (Pains of Love) - Season 2 - Episode 13

I looked from Nath to Kate, praying hard it shouldn’t be what I was thinking.

“Hey! Don’t stare at me like that, she isn’t my girlfriend,” Nath laughed while I heaved a sigh of relief coz-hmmm.

“Naughty Becky, I just hope David hasn’t influenced you with his naughtiness?” Kate laughed too.

“I’m a smooth gentleman o,” David winked and held my hand and though I gave him the look of “Let go of me” he pretended like he couldn’t see nor notice my uneasiness.

“Let’s go to the sitting room,” Nath said. “Josh and Ken are waiting.”

Kate glanced at our locked hands before joining Nath.

“Thank your stars Nath didn’t insist,” I eyed David and forcefully removed my hand from his. The next statement David made almost threw me off balance.

“You can eye me all you want Becky, if my talking to you is making you feel uncomfortable, I think we should stop talking to each other,” he said and left me in the kitchen. I stood for a moment, then decided to go back to my room instead of joining them in the sitting room. I used the back door and climbed the stairs slowly but as I reached the landing, I could hear mom’s voice from inside her room.

“They’re still young samuel, studying together might not be a good idea,” Mom was saying.

“I know but my wife and daughter thinks it’s a good idea,” David’s father said. His voice almost sounding like a whisper. Since mom’s room was close to the landing, I didn’t have problem, I only took few steps and I was there right infront of her door. The door wasn’t properly closed but I still placed my ear on it. As I stood, listening, I was lost and didn’t hear when Josh climbed up till he said “What are you doing, eavesdropping?”

His words startled me, making me jump out of my skin and mistakenly pushed the door backwards.

“Who’s there?” Mom asked.

“Don’t worry aunt, the door was pushed by mistake, Becky’s acting rough,” Josh said and looked at me.
Mom’s okay made me feel relaxed coz I would have been in trouble if Josh had exposed me. I dropped down my hands which had flown to my mouth and hugged Josh who smiled.

“Let’s go downstairs,” he held my hand.

“No, I… I… Sorry siesta,” I stammered.

“You want to take a nap?”
I nodded in response.

“Okay.”

Josh led me to my room and after promising to help bring my uniform in incase I overslept, he left the room…

Lying on my bed inside my room, My mind drifted back to David and to Eric but the thought of Eric dorminated, making me restless. I couldn’t understand why I kept thinking of Eric.

“You still love him Becky,” my inner mind said.

“No, I hate him, he’s a cheat,” I said aloud.

“But you’re thinking of him,” It said again, sounding more convincing.

“I said shut up,” I shouted but then I heard footsteps so I quickly covered my face with my pillow and closed my eyes.

I heard the door to my room open and close again. Might be mom heard me shouting and came to check what’s wrong. I decided not to open my eyes again and didn’t know when I slept off.
While sleeping, I had a dream…

:
DREAM WORLD
:

I saw myself sitting on a beautifully coloured wrapper that was spread on the sand beside a beach. I looked around and saw Eric, standing infront of a girl who wore swimming pants while Eric wore a boxer thus revealing his fine body stature. I smiled at him but he didn’t seem to notice me and in that dream I felt like I we were all grown up and at the age of getting married.

“Why staring at him?” a voice asked and I turned to see David with cups of ice cream. He sat beside me and handed me one cup which I collected. “You shouldn’t be staring at another man with so much love in your eyes, especially when I’m with you,” he said, sounding jealous and pissed off.

“Why? You know I still love him,” I turned to David, then scouped a spoonful of icecream into my mouth.

“If you keep talking about him, I’ll have to end our relationship,” David looked at me. He now sounded furious.

I was taken aback, “Why? You know I love you…”

“No, you can’t love two men at the same time, you have to make a choice,” David concluded and stood up. I called out to him but he was out of sight, I turned back to where Eric had stood but he also was gone. I became scared and started calling their names…

:
BACK TO REALITY
:
“Becky, Becky! Wake up,” a voice called and a hand at the same time was shaking me vigorously. I jerked awake and immediately sat up on my bed.

My head felt very hot.

“Mom!” I called out to my mom who sat on my bed staring at me.

“What’s wrong, you were calling Eric and David?” she asked, watching my every movement.

I stood up from the bed almost reluctantly. “Mom, I want to see Eric.”

“Are you out of your mind? Do you realise you slept into your study time?”

Mum flared up. She stood up and glared at me. She looked really furious and that made me scared..
