THE TRINITY
The Trinity-Episode 10
Apparently, Jason was Nicky’s first love, the guy who broke her virginity on her birthday and broke up with her.
A mistake that he had come to regret. He had found himself at the wrong place, at the wrong time with Nicky.
He had committed to a relationship he thought would be a successful one, only to find out in the end that it wasn’t what he was looking for. He wasn’t in love.
Jason believed that perhaps love would grow eventually between them. It however proved to be a lost cause. Having sex with Nicky made it worse and he knew this wasn’t something he wanted to continue with.
He felt guilty and obliged to continue the relationship but he also knew it was all a charade that would eventually backfire. He decided to come clean with her and seek for them to part ways.
That proved difficult for Nicky to take however, it was the only way out. Jason had always been upfront with her about his feelings. Nicky knew that Jason didn’t quite love her the way she wanted him to. She only hoped that with time, the love would grow.
In a desperate attempt to keep Jason, Nicky got him to sleep with her. He had resisted sleeping with her several times before but this one time, he found himself doing it without thinking. It really wasn’t enjoyable and they both regretted it after. Nicky wouldn’t say she didn’t enjoy it. She was so much in love with Jason that anything was all right with her. On Jason’s part though, he was ridden with guilt.
Sophie could tell from his face that Jason was hiding something. It was obvious that he knew Nicky from somewhere. Being that this was his first time to her house and she hadn’t seen him before, Sophie could never have guessed that there was more to the story.
“Jason, how do you know my sister?” Sophie anxiously asked.
“I think we should wait until the burial is over, then we can talk “ Jason said. He knew that Sophie would find it difficult to believe anything he would tell her in view of the present condition of her mind.
Meanwhile, Michael had arrived at his workplace. He fussed around at his table for a bit and went up to Joe’s office.
“I see you came in early today,” Joe said.
“I’m impressed. That’s a sign of a good worker” He continued.
“Thank you Sir” Michael said. He knew there was more to the compliment.
“Now Michael, what were you doing at Sophie’s end?” Joe asked.
Michael kept mute. He didn’t know what to say or the answer to give him.
“I asked you a question, Mr. Michael” said Joe.
“Sir, I couldn’t leave her all by herself knowing her condition. She was bereaved and needed someone beside her to at least console her. I know how much her sister meant to her being her only family member. Sir, I am sorry but that’s the least I could I do” Michael finally answered.
“How caring of you. I am so sure she appreciates your kind gesture.” Joe said sarcastically.
His comments drove Michael crazy. He couldn’t bear it any longer. He knew where this was going. He began pleading knowing full well that Joe would eventually arrive at that.
“Sir, please, don’t fire me, it won’t happen again” Michael pleaded.
“Oh No Michael, I am not going to fire you, but this is your last chance. Trust me, the next time; even over a single rumor as regards you and Sophie, I will ensure you get fired. Get out of my office!” Joe said.
Michael with a sigh of relief wasted no time getting out of the office. As he got into his station, he saw Amah sitting behind his table. She apparently had been tracking him and knew to wait there for him.
After the encounter in Sophie’s house, Michael knew he had to come up with something tangible to assuage Amah.
Amah was one hell of a girl who had issues with anger management. She had a bad temper and didn’t even try controlling it.
Despite his denials, Michael and Amah did have something going on. Michael had come up with what he decided was the best route to go to quench this fire.
As he got close to Amah, Michael Suddenly knelt down before her and brought out a ring from his pocket. The exact same ring he had offered to Sophie. He opened his mouth and said to her: “Amah, will you marry me?”
Before he could finish talking, Amah slapped off the ring from his hand to the floor.
“You think you can be smart Michael! I am not just any girl you can fool around with like you do with the other girls. Now tell me: Are you the father of Ishmael, your brother’s son?
