EPISODE 9

O God, help me. It's just one thing I ask of you Lord. Grant me the wish of kissing or holding her tightly, and I will forever worship and serve you.

For some weeks and months, I would always make sure I checked on Achiaa. Though I did this all the time, she never came to my room. She would sometimes stand behind my window to greet me, and when I called her in, she would give me the excuses of, 'oh, I only came to say hi', 'I have something on fire', 'I'm actually going out to enjoy some fresh air.' Many a time, I joined her outside whenever she told me she was going out.
She wouldn't talk much.
All she would do was to press her phone and receive calls.
I wonder who those people really were. They only called her in the nights, and she would excuse herself and talk at length. That was the only time you would hear her laugh.

During one of these times, I left her outside when she ended the call by saying, "I love you too."
Who the hell could that be? Was the fellow the reason why she wasn't giving me the attention needed? I needed to do something. I can't lose all girls at the same time.
I left her sight to my room without saying a word to her, and she never bothered to ask me the reason.
"Agh, what at all was wrong with this girl? So a guy sits with you and you boldly tell another inanimate somewhere that you love him too? Thank God my mum never gave birth to a lady. I don't know what would have happened."
I went to my room and got a glass of water for myself. I wish there was something else I could take but where would that come from?

I've been saving my allowance knowing Achiaa is in the scene to help but now that I've got to know who she is, I'm not sure I would even greet her. Ladies are soo mean!

I started getting cold towards her. I wasn't comfortable with that but I had to do it. That girl was nothing to describe. She stopped calling me to walk to work together when she realised my attitude towards her. I thought she would keep pushing so that I give her the tough time, but she didn't.

I would always meet her at work and admire her in my own small way.
I started feeling lonely because there was no one to talk to though she wasn't making me laugh when we were friends. For all I know, walking with her made me feel like the boss himself.
I would always go to my room and think endlessly about her. There were times I decided to throw away my ego and pride and go talk to her but I couldn't. I was the man here so she needed to come and talk to me.

Besides, she was at fault here. She knows very well that I'm in love with her so why wouldn't she tell me she had somebody else, though I've not made my intentions clear to her?
Thoughts of her kept eating me up. There was no single day I wouldn't think of her. My days turned into nightmares.
I stopped going to work for some few days, besides, we had barely a month to finish with the service and all these trash would be over.
