EPISODE 5

As I was about entering the cab, I heard someone call my name. I turned and it was Achiaa.
O my goodness! I felt so ashamed of myself.
"You forgot to lock your door so I locked its. Here, take your key", she said as turned to go.
The disgrace was written all  over my face. I watched her sinciput as she left. I wish I could ran after her, but it was too late.
Esparanza pulled me into the cab and told the driver to speed on. She kept asking if I was alright. Couldn't she see the writings on my face? I kept quiet all through our journey.
Truth be told, I love both of them,  but the love for Achiaa is deep. It may be lust but who cares?
We got to the venue for the red cup party. The whole place was filled with people with a tensed atmosphere.
The heat became intense when "Yaa Pono" took to the stage. My favorite song, "Amen" moved me from my seat. I forgot about the problem with Achiaa,I mean the disappointment. I can't be depressed of two girls who are service personnels. Though I'm single, they might be having boyfriends at home. More especially, Achiaa. I just can't trust a poor girl who has everything and doesn't live within her means.

I got to my seat after the music was over. Esparanza was nowhere to be found.
I knew she would be around so there was no need going after her, besides, I had all the money on me to help me back home.
Time passed without Espie showing up. I began getting worried. Her phone was switched off when I tried to reach her.

I got up from my seat and went outside. I had to look for her. What if something had happened to her? Achiaa would be happy and tease me. That won't be all,she will make it seem I killed her for rituals when she sees the money on me because I told her I'm very poor.
I moved from one person to the other, watching them in their faces.
Finally, I saw someone sit on the lap of a guy. I couldn't take it. I went there with the intention of slapping any guy who was with her,  but my instinct judged me. I pulled her from where she was sitting, looked sternly in her eyes, then I found out it was the wrong person.

How could I? I apologised and left. She looked just like her, and they both wore the same dress.
Where at all could she have gone when she rightly knew she came with someone?
I got to another place where I heard moaning and screaming coming from a range rover (2016 model). People are indeed crazy. Couldn't they wait till they got home? I got closer to listen clearly to the voice, maybe it would be Esparanza. I stood there gently and calmly to listen. She wasn't the one.
At this point, I became tired and decided to give up. I found a big stone which could serve as a chair for me. I sat uncomfortably on it.

Just when I was about getting a cab home, I heard a familiar voice. I rushed to the place and listened attentively.
It was my Esparanza. I couldn't control myself. My blood became hotter, with my pulse almost becoming abnormal. I shook the door handle of the car. When they were not opening, I forcefully shook it.
An old man angrily got down. He was now zipping his flap with sweat all over him. The fire within me couldn't go down but burn with rage.
A lady came out of the car. I looked disappointed again when I realised I had visited the wrong person. She was young enough to be the man's daughter or perhaps granddaughter.

I could see the anger in the man but the girl managed to calm him down. She rubbed her fingers through his beards and kissed him.
I thanked him and promised never to repeat it. I had to put up a lie that I was drunk.
Another lady got down from the car. She looked more tired and sweaty. Does it mean the old man was fucking two ladies? Wow...such a strong old man.
I drew closer and realised it was my Esparanza.
Heeeerrr....this is shocking.
Esparanza! I called out her name.
