Pains of Amara(Completed)

Chapter 61

AMARACHI

I walked towards aunty Lydia's shop carrying a sack bag of heavy fabrics and linens. She rushed early to her shop today, giving me peace at home.
I hadn't even set my eyes on ogechi ever since i woke up this morning.
What could mother and daughter be brewing up?
"Nonso"i called as I waved at him, spotting him in a nearby shop.

He turned around and a broad smile formed on his lips immediately he sited me.
"Nonso kedi(how are you)?"I asked as I approached him.

"I am fine o Amara. What about you?"Nonso replied cheerfully.
I nodded my head at him"I'm very ok. Longest time o".

Nonso gave a quiet laugh and examined my appearance.
He pulled his brows together and his eyes widened "You look so different Amara. Why are you so happy?"

I chortled at his word and my brows began to furrow.
"I've always looked like this nonso"I objected.
Suddenly my phone rang, interrupting I and Nonso's dialogue.
I reached for my little handbag and brought out my phone to Nonso's amazement.

It was Jordan calling.
I smiled inwardly and picked the call moving a little farther from Nonso.
"Nonso why are you staring at me like that"I asked teasingly once I was done with the call.

"Amara who gave you this phone?"Nonso somewhat yelled out.

"It is Jordan. Chief Justice's son. I'm his friend"i replied giggling.
Nonso looked so bewildered.
"Jordan ke? How do you know him?"

I told Nonso everything though I left out the part concerning the growing chemistry between I and Jordan.
Suddenly Nonso's smile was replaced by a terrible glare.

My brows pulled together in worry.
What is the issue?
"Amara you could have told me if you wanted a phone"Nonso gritted.
I sighed and rolled my eyes at him.

"I didn't tell Jordan to get me a phone. He just got it for me without me knowing"I retorted back.

"This is how it starts. From all these he will capture your heart and lure you to his bed. He will then use you"

"Nonso!"I yelled almost immediately.

"You've started falling already"Nonso snarled with a hiss.

I bit my bottom lip in annoyance.
"Yes nonso. I like him"I replied.
"Put a knife on my throat because I do. What type of rubbish talk is this Nonso? I don't have time for all these"I added in annoyance and walked out on Nonso.

God I was so annoyed by Nonso's insensitive remarks.
I didn't even know Jordan would get me a phone.
I didn't even know he was Jordan up until now.
I exhaled heavily and shook my head in annoyance.

"Amara there is something i want to tell you"Aunty Lydia said to me making me stop my sewing.
When i arrived today in the shop, she didn't shout at me or insult me.
She seemed so calm.
Dangerously calm.
We worked in absolute silence up until this moment.

"Yes aunty?"I asked as I turned to face her adjusting my measuring tape on my neck.

"Look I just said let me tell you. Mrs Justice wants to give you a test and if you pass that test then your chance of going abroad is stamped"she began.
I became more interested in the conversation and paid rapt attention.

"She will give you a very expensive material for you to sew any style you want. I know you are a good seamstress and it shouldn't be hard for you. See don't spoil that fabric o. I don't have money to pay for any damages o"Lydia sang in my ear.

I nodded my head reluctantly. She wasn't concerned about my chance going to abroad being spoilt,she was only concerned in the damages she would have to cover if i messed up the fabric.
Well i wouldn't.
This was my chance to grow and i wouldn't spoil it.

Nonso pushed open the gate of his compound roughly and it made a piercing noise.

He stumped his foot angrily and barged inside the house.
His blood was boiling at the thought of Amara and Jordan.
He couldn't believe Amara could accept the phone Jordan gave her.

"I could have given you a phone if you just told me. Why are you doing this to me?"

"Nonso you are back"Rebecca spoke up cutting through his thoughts.
Nonso just gave her a nod and tried to leave the parlour when Becca immediately stopped him.

"Nonso I want to discuss something with you"Becca meekly said with a blush.
Nonso raised a brow and gave a nod.
Becca quickly scurried inside.
Not long after,she came out with some papers.

She handed the papers to nonso, her cheeks burning red.
"What's that?"Nonso asked.

"Take and see for yourself"Becca cajoled as she stretched the papers to Nonso.
Nonso reluctantly grabbed it from her and carefully examined it's contents.
His eyes immediately widened.
It was a pregnancy report.
Rebecca was pregnant.

"You are kidding right?"Nonso asked which caught becca off guard.

"No nonso. I'm carrying your baby"

"How!?"Nonso immediately yelled out as he stood up with anger.
"This is fake. I am not responsible"
