The betrayal

"he was just too cute"

Chapter 12

Musuku's Pov

later that night just after having my last meal, there was a knock on the door, I put away my plates and went to open the door, when I looked up i saw my father, it has been two months since I last saw him, I ran up to him and gave him a hug, for about a minute we just stood there hugging, tears rolling down my face.

my dad had been working in another continent for the past two months.

He is an ambassador and so he serves in different countries for two months before he can come back home again to stay with us for only a month.

I was so happy to see him, I couldn't believe he just came back home without even telling me or mom for that matter.

I helped carry in his bags to his room then when he had settled in we chilled by the TV room and watched like we normally do whenever he is around.

My dad and i were never close, I always felt closer to my mom but the one thing I could only do with my dad is watch movies, that was the only thing that brought us together.

After the movie had finished, I checked the time and it was 11 pm, I realized I hadn't called Munangwa to say goodnight and so i walked up to my bedroom to do just that.

As I walked up the stairs, before I even got half way, there was another knock on the door, I walked back down and when I opened I saw Muneiwa just standing there shaking and in tears, "what is wrong sweety, are you okay, what are you doing here this late?" I asked her so many questions at one go and then asked her to come in.

My dad came to the kitchen where I was trying to calm her down, she still hadn't said a word, she was just crying and shivering.

I made her a cup of soup and fetched her a blanket and a box of tissues for the tears, when she was calm, my dad asked who she is and what was going on, I told him I would explain to him in the morning because its a long story.

She told me her grandmother threw her out of the house because the spirits revealed to her about what happened earlier with her telling me everything that is going on.

"Im tired of doing bad things to other people, I dont want to live this kind of life anymore, please take me in with you, I want to live as your younger sister" she whimpered

I embraced her and told her all would be well, when she fell asleep I took her to my room and slept with her in my bed.

As I was starting to dose off, my phone rang and I couldn't recognize the number so I pressed the disconnect button and fell asleep.

Next morning

My alarm went off at 4.30 am and prepared for my trip to the village, my dad was long packed into his car so I quickly jumped into the shower  and got myself ready.

When I was done getting dressed I woke Muneiwa up and had her bath also, we agreed with my dad that we would pass by the mall to get her clothes as she didn't come with any.

We got to Mercury mall around 6 am and no shops were open so we went into a restaurant and had breakfast just to push time.

As we waited I remembered my phone vibrate the previous night, I took it out and I found 3 text messages, two from Munangwa and one from an unknown number.

Unknown:"I know you do not know me but you will soon, can I please see you tomorrow at Mercury mall, say at about 7 am, I will wait by the muffin shop" sent 11.30 pm.

Munangwa: "I'm so sorry, I know you must b mad at me by now, I didn't mean to give him ur number, he was just too cute"

Munangwa: "please say something, you did not even call to say goodnight, are u mad at me? im sorry friend, I promise to buy you coconut flavored marshmallows, anyway goodnight"

I was confused, what on earth is she on about and who the hell is this guy who wants to meet at 7 am?

I checked the time and it was 6:55, I excused myself again and told my dad I'm just taking a stroll, Muneiwa held my hand and asked if she could come with me, I tried to ignore her pleading eyes but I couldn't, she was just too adorable.

I walked with her to the muffin shop and by the time we got there it was 7:05 am, I stood from afar and I saw a very hot guy standing there wearing a hoodie with earphones in his ears, I wondered if it was him.

A few minutes later another guy came and stood in the same spot, he was also cute but now I was confused, I ended up concluding that the cute guy who just arrived must have been the one I was supposed to meet because the other one was a Greek god, he was too hot and way out of my league, if I had a boyfriend that good looking I wouldn't know what to do with him.

To spare myself the embarrassment, I texted back and asked, "who are you and how will I know you if I've never seen you?"

response "do not worry, I have seen you so I will know you when you approach the agreed upon spot, I can't wait to see your beautiful angelic face again"

Me: "well I don't think that is fair at all, in that case I'm no longer meeting with you if you wont tell me who you are and how I can identify u"

Response: "It's okay you do not need to find me, I've already found you, by the way who is that little one besides you? the last time I checked you had no siblings"

I freaked out and I started to look around, I held Muneiwa's hand and walked back hurriedly to where I left my dad, Muneiwa kept asking why we were running and complaining that she was tired.

Text : "I'm sorry my angel, I didn't mean to scare you off, just looking at you from afar fulfills me and i wonder what more if I could get lost in the warmth of ur embrace, I cant wait until the day we become one"

Become one? what the hell was this guy going on about? hmm I think I will just ignore him. "Muneiwa come baby girl, lets go get you those clothes and get away from this place"

Before we could leave, a girl came to the table where we were seated and gave me a travelling bag, I asked who it was for and she said my name, I opened it and I found a note, "I decided to spare you the trouble of shopping for the little one, from now on you will never have to need anything as long as I am around, take good care of her, leave her with your mom back in the village and make sure she doesn't go to the funeral, all this will make sense as time goes, just trust me. I am as good as your guardian angel, I love you"

uhm okay so this gets interesting, i wonder who this mystery guy is. vote and comment please.
