MY SISTER'S LOVER

MY SISTER'S LOVER

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I stood up immediately I saw them.
"Oh! So you have come to finish up your business in my house?"
I asked Sam who had made himself comfortable next to Judy.
He couldn't even look me straight in the eye.
"Haven't you told her Judy!?"
Asked Robert.
"And I thought you had settled abroad. How did you get yourself here?"
I asked him.
"I have been around Aggy, it's just that I live in my house, Judy lives in her house as well. Judy and I have never been married!"
This guy was getting me all confused. How now?
Though I never attended their wedding at the AG's, they made me believe they were a couple.

"I never got married to you Aggy. The names on the marriage cert were Judy's. I got married to Judith. I am sorry we all played you but there is an explanation to all these!"
Sam dropped the bomb!
"Nooooo! You guys gotta be kidding me!"
My head was spinning! Those news were more than i could bear. I felt dizzy all over a sudden. I felt my legs give space. Then I lay backward on the couch.
Unconsciousness was wearing me out. Then I saw darkness!
                               **************

I woke up with at start. I was on my bed, Judy was seated next to me, with Sam pacing up the room and Robert seated on the couch in the bedroom.

"Thank God you are awake!"
Judy told me.
I looked at Sam and remembered everything that had happened.
I tried to rise from the bed but my head was spinning.
"Am sorry Aggy, you've got to hear the whole truth. We are tired of playing games with your naive and innocent heart!"
That was Sam, addressing me.
"Oh! So you did all these to me because I was naive? Sam and Judy you took my kindness for weakness! How I wish I never listened to you guys. I hate you all! I will never forgive you at all!"
With that, I took the duvet and covered myself up to the head and faced the wall.

"I can't have kids Aggy, I am barren!"
Judy's outburst started me.
I threw the duvet on one side and sat up.
I looked at her then back to Sam.
I felt some tinge of pity in me!
I wanted to hug her but I remembered all that she had hidden from me.
"So, does that give you the mandate to play with my mind? What does your inability to have kids got to do with the current situation you have put me into? Did that make you hook me up with your love huh?"
My outbursts startled them all.
"Calm down Aggy if you want to hear everything!"
Robert said.
"I have heard more than enough guys, please leave me alone. My pressure is already high and I don't want you guys to make it any worse. Get out of my room!"

"You have to hear us out for humanity sake!"
Sam said.
"Look who is talking about humanity! You of all people! Sam? You of all people, you disgust me! I am only listening to you because of Robert, who seems to be a victim of circumstances just like myself."

"We are not here to lay blames on each other. We what to clear everything Aggy!"
Judy said.
I just looked at her. I didn't say anything. What was there to say anyway?

"I never wanted things to end nastily between us Aggy. Please forgive me I am your only sister"
"Sister my foot! A sister of mine can't do such animosity towards me. You are a pathetic version of a sister. Now tell me, why did you do all these to me? What is your gain in all these?"
"At least I deserve some respect from you Agnes, I am your elder sister and I have been there for you all through. At lease accord me the respect I deserve."
" speaking of respect, did you think of it when you hooked me up with your lover? Where was respect back then? Huh! Tell me Big sister Judy! Who hooks up her sister to her lover anyway?"
I had decided to throw tantrums.
By the look of things, we were not heading anywhere with our discussions. I knew at the end of it all, it will leave some bitter taste in our mouths.
I composed myself and told them I was all ears. We had to get done with this once and for all. I had to know my fate.
It was either now, or never....
