**Chenti**

After my failed attempts at preventing Chelpang from going out, I rushed back to the house. The bitch needed to be dealt with. The moment she stepped into the house was the very moment she started to ruin our relationship to create hers, something she had long lost. I honestly didn't know what lie she used this time, Chelpang only mentioned that she has a problem with her parents but never went into details...not that I cared.

I stood at the door trying to calm myself before going in to face her. After about a minute or two, I was about to turn the knob when I heard her speaking. I put my ear to the door, she was on phone.

"Hell yeah! We have to--no, we must!" She squealed. "My excitement has gotten to the brim."

She was definitely talking about her success.

"Yeah bitch, if he ain't mine he nobody else's." She laughed. "You should've seen her face when she saw me. White girl, white ass...my white foot!" She laughed. Then she paused to listen and then she laughed again.

"Oh yeah, she must've thought he had been f*cking me all that while when he'd never touch me. I even wonder why that is so!" She said undertone. "Well, she's so out of the scene now yeah." Pause. "Kiss my ass bitch!" She laughed again.

"Balma, wait. I can't come to your place, its too far and you know I don't have a car now." Long pause. "Okay then see you there. Celebration! Haha." She sighed and fell onto the bed.

I was fuming when she hung up so I quickly tiptoed back to my room. My anger could make me do worse than just kicking her out which I was not ready for so I decided to wait for the right time.

I did my usual morning routine; breakfast, dishes, shower, taking forever to select what to wear and then very light makeup. There was a little addition to today's routine however--going to see Selina.

She had to know something about this whole thing. I had to explain to her what was going on and though I am not being selfish, I felt I had to clear my name out of Chelpang's mess--a mess I tried to talk him out of.

Selina and I were quite going well before that bitch showed up. I quit talking to her and seeing her because I felt I would be betraying her if I kept what was going on from her. In the same way, I felt I would be betraying the stubborn Chelpang if I told her since from what I could see, he never told her so I just decided to keep mute and watch what happened. I never expected the consequences to get to me, I was so dumb to have thought that!

While preparing to leave, I heard Berla walk out of the house. I did my finishing ups and also left for Selina's house.

Footsteps came towards the door when I rung the second time and begun to feel nervous. The bitter face she gave me when she was leaving our house earlier made me shiver. Just as I was reconsidering the idea of seeing her now, the door flew open and it was not Selina.

"Uh...good morning Mrs.--Johnson." I stammered and felt relieved.

"Good morning? You're um..."

"Chenti ma'am." I smiled curtly.

"Right, Chenti. Oh, would you like to come in?" She opened the door wide and stepped aside. "How're you?"
