Web of Deception [ EDITING !!!]

•43•

Immediately those words came out I never knew I could hate myself so much.

"Don't you say that." Dad's voice became angry. His brows were creased.

Sometimes your mouth moves faster than your mind and it was this moment I realised that.

"But it's the truth dad. Which can of man would I be to leave a perfectly normal woman to a mentally derailed woman."

Smack !

My eyes widened with Shock as I felt the stinging pain on my cheeks. He had slapped me but I did deserve it.

How could I say something mean about Osas.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself Seyi." He said angrily as I bowed my head.

"You can try your best and deny the feelings you have for Osas but don't you ever call her mentally derailed and don't you ever compare her to Zina. Even if there's a thousand Zina's I will still prefer Osas to Zina."

"Zina's is going to be my wife dad." I still stated softly." Osas is just a lot to handle. You call me selfish but I think she's the one selfish. She only thinks about herself. It's always her orphanage. I don't think she really cares about the orphanage all she cares about is having a name to the orphanage."

"You think she's selfish because of an orphanage?." His anger had resided.

No dad!. It's not about the orphanage. It has nothing to do with the orphanage but my feelings. She doesn't care about my Feelings so many times I tried to win her friendship but all I get is insult one way or the other but with all that I still can't get her out of my damn mind.

The day I first met her, the night call,the day we were in her office that she said she was in love with Michael, the day in the hospital, the day that she almost lost her life. The day I saw her cry and I felt my heart crumble into a million pieces. The feeling I had when when I had held her tight in my arm not wanting to ever let go.

And yet I could not forget all the pains I had to bare.. all her words.

I'm in love with Michael.

"Yes. Because of the orphanage."

"Then you really don't know Osas then."

"What do you mean ?."

"Years back your mom and I got into a serious disagreement that your mom had to leave the house and I didn't know her whereabouts."

"Really?." I hadn't known about this. But how did it have to do with Osas.

"Yes. I took another woman to Osas restaurant-"

"Were you cheating on mom?." I could hear the horror in my voice.

He chuckled." That's the least of it. I took the woman to discuss about your mom. I wanted to throw a surprise for her. When Osas saw it was another woman she called me asked who she was and what was she doing with me and not your mom. I told her and she understood. A week later your mom found out. Obviously news travel fast when your quite known. I tried my best to explain to your mom but you know how she is." He sipped his drink and continued.

"She left and I didn't know about her whereabouts. I called but her parents and mine. They didn't know. I really wanted to keep Osas out of it cause your mom thought I and Osas had betrayed her.Till today I still don't know how she found your mom but she did and I remembered that that day, she had very important clients but she left them unattended and went to talk it out with your mom. That day I saw your mom at home and we both talked about it. After that day I asked about her clients and she shrugged it off as if it was unimportant but I knew those clients mattered to her I tried to help her out with the clients but her reputation overseeds her."

"What reputation?."

He rose with his drink." Check twitter. She's trending there." He turned to go." Osas is the most selfless person I know Seyi and I have a feeling that those tears that Zina displayed wasn't real. It was just an emotional card to get your sympathy."

"How do you know that?."

"You still have a lot to learn about women Seyi." And I watched him stroll away.

I immediately brought out my phone and checked twitter for what was trending.

Osas was trending at number 8. I clicked on it and I felt my eyes almost pop out.

I now understood all my dad and Dr Marx concern about Osas.

A.N

It's Seyi for me. He really stooped low this time what was the meaning of this sentence

"But it's the truth dad. Which can of man would I be to leave a perfectly normal woman to a mentally derailed woman."
