THE BLUE LOVE
The Blue Love-Episode 34(ACCIDENT)
JAJA’s Point Of View
I sneak a glance at my wrist watch to see
the time. Me and Ben are supposed to meet
at 7 PM for our dinner date but it is already
8 PM. It is the first time he became super
late.
Lately, Ben has been forgetting things
easily that even our dates was forgotten.
He even had a hard time to remember
which is which and who was who. He
seems problematic for he was unfocused
to everything.
I called Ben’s number, he’s not answering
his phone. I sighed. I called his secretary.
“Hi! Are you with Ben?”
“No, Jaja. He came home early because he
feels dizzy and his head is aching severely.
Why?”
“I’ve been calling him few times but he’s
not answering. I thought he was on a
meeting.”
“Oh! I have Sir Benjamin’s phone. He forgot
this on his desk. I haven’t answered the
phone because it was on a silent mode, I’m
sorry.”
“It’s okay. Thank you for keeping his
phone. Good night.”
I ended the call. I have decided to visit him
on his condo. I get my purse and was
about to stand up when someone sit on a
chair in front of me.
Stunned. He’s smiling widely and his eyes
were red.
“Uncle Troy.” I tried to make my voice
strong so he won’t notice that I am afraid
of him.
“Jaja, my beloved niece! How are you?
Hmm you look fine, you even afford to
come here. Look at you. Oh my God! You’re
so sexy and beautiful. How’s your life with
the man who had bought you?”
“As you had said, I look fine as well as my
life with him.”
“Oh! You’re still resentful to me? Jaja, it is
for your own good that’s why I have done
that.”
I look at him. “Don’t act as if you’re really
concern for me, Uncle Troy. After what
you’ve done to me, I don’t treat you as my
Uncle anymore.”
“Jaja, my dear niece, don’t be so bitter to
your own Uncle. I am the only relative of
yours so don’t deny me. You look rich now,
do you have some money there? Give your
Uncle a little payment for my kindness.”
“You haven’t been kind to me before so
don’t ask me for that.”
He grab my hand and hold it tight that
made me winced. “You have just
brainwashed your man that’s why you’re
given freedom. Don’t act like a real elite
because you are not one of them. You still
owe me for taking care of you when your
parents died.”
“My life had been miserable with you. And I
thank you for letting me go away from
you. And don’t threaten me because I
might send you in jail for everything you’ve
done to me. Be thankful that I am still
respecting you. Don’t you ever show
yourself in front of me again or else you’re
gonna end up in jail.”
He tighten his grip and almost twist my
wrist. “I am still your Uncle. Don’t
disrespect me.”
Unscrupulous! What a shameless guy! “Let
me go or else I’m gonna call the guards
now.”
He quickly let me go and stand up. “I’m not
finished yet.”
My system has been relaxed when he
leaved. I just noticed that my knee is
shaking and I am not breathing normally.
.
I WAS ABOUT to enter the password of
Ben’s condo when I noticed that the door
was slightly open. I opened the door. The
whole condo is quiet. I went to his room
when I didn’t see Ben on the kitchen. The
door is slightly open also. I opened the
door just to be shocked.
Pain. Great pain. It was really hurt to see
your love making out with other. Ben and
Olga are kissing on the bed. Olga is almost
naked while Ben’s polo was unbuttoned.
“So, you forgot our date because you are
entertaining someone right here in your
room,” I said.
They both stopped and immediately rose
up. Ben look at Olga, confusedly.
“What the f–k! You’re not Jaja?!” Ben
asked, surprisingly.
“She’s not Jaja. She’s Olga. The real Jaja was
on the restaurant waiting for you. Now, I
came here to see if you’re okay. You’re
okay, as I can see. Continue what you’re
doing. I’m sorry for disturbing you.”
I quickly turned my back and let my tears
fall. I immediately get out of his condo and
did not turn back when Ben is calling me.
It’s really hurt. It’s more painful than what
I’ve felt when my family died. Seems I died
again. My heart was pierced by lots of
needle, very little yet painful.
Ben grabbed my arm when he caught me.
We are now outside the condominium
building.
“Please, sweetie, let me explain. What
you’ve seen inside wasn’t my plan,
unexpected. I’m unconscious when she
started kissing me, I thought it was you.
I’m sorry.”
“Ben, what’s really happening to you?
You’ve been forgetting things that you
shouldn’t forgot. Now you thought I am
Olga. Why? Are we look alike? Huh?”
“No. Believe me, I thought she was you.
She don’t know the password of my condo
and it was only you who know it. That’s
why I thought you’re the one entered the
room.”
I sighed. “You left the door open because
you forgot or you left it in purpose?”
“God! Sweetie, why would I do that? Olga
and I are over. Why would I cheat on you?”
“Woah! Jaja, you had made him your lover.
What a lucky girl. Hello there, do you
remember me?” Uncle Troy hug me from
behind and I gasp when I felt something
cold touch my skin at my back. It was a
knife.
Ben was about to come near us when Uncle
Troy stop him.
“Don’t you dare. Do one step and you’ll see
Jaja in heaven.”
“What do you want?” Ben asked in a
serious tone.
I look at him. I know he had seen the fear
in my eyes that’s why he believed Uncle
Troy’s threat.
“I just want to receive the payments of my
efforts for taking care of my beloved niece.
You’re rich. Pay me now and I’ll leave you
two.”
“How much do you want?” Ben seem
serious on giving the payments.
“$500,000. That’s enough for Jaja’s life.”
“I don’t have that amount of money right
now. Please give me time to get the
money.”
“Then I’ll just take Jaja with me while
you’re getting the money.”
I gulped as Uncle Troy rub the knife on my
skin. I tried to stop my cry but fear is
stronger.
“Heart,” I said between my cries. “Don’t
waste your money to spare my life.”
“No, sweetie. I can get back the money that
I am going to lose but I can’t get you back
if I lose you. Trust me, heart. I love you and
I am willing to do anything for you.”
I saw courage in his eyes. Ben shouldn’t
just fight for us alone.
I step my heel on Uncle Troy’s foot that
made him lose his hold in me. I took the
opportunity to flee from him. Ben quickly
grab me and pulled me away from Uncle.
“Call for the guards. Be quick!” Ben hold
Uncle Troy’s arms that’s holding the knife. I
quickly run in front of the condominium
and seek for help from the guards.
“Miss Jaja, what’s happening to you?” One
of the guards asked me when he saw me
running.
“Help us! There’s someone trying to kill my
boyfriend! Help!”
They quickly responded and I lead the way
to them. We saw Ben lying on the ground
and Uncle Troy was about to stab Ben.
“Don’t move!” shouted by the guards but
Uncle Troy didn’t listen that’s why they
fired a Taser to him.
Uncle lost his knife and he fell on the
ground, shaking.
I quickly run towards Ben who was lying
on the ground. He’s consciously
unconscious.
“Oh my God! Heart, are you okay? Have
been stabbed? Tell me!” I am in panic when
he’s groaning.
“I’m not stabbed. I just fell on the ground
because I lost my balance. Argh! My head…
My head is in pain. God! It’s hurt!” Ben hold
his head and he was screaming the pain.
“Call an ambulance!” I screamed at the
guards. I look at Ben. “Heart, hold on.
We’re going to take you at the hospital.”
“No. Please, don’t. I don’t want to forget
you, sweetie. I don’t. Don’t let them do it. I
don’t want to forget you.”
