CHAPTER 4
He came in and sat on the other chair. From his countenance, he was not disturbed, so I suspected a foul play. He looked at me and took a deep breath.
“Young man, I can make this whole thing easy for you. I can let this go. I can call this off. But on the other hand, I can make it really difficult for you. I can make it to the police station. I can report this to the University Council and make sure I follow it up. You can be rusticated and detained by the Police until I ask them to release you.” Dr Kuma said in a tense voice.
“I don’t understand, Sir”.
“Let me make you understand. You can keep your girl and forget about your studies here, or you forget about her and face your studies. The choice is yours.”
“So this is all about a girl? Which girl are you talking about?” I curiously asked.
“Charmaine. Leave her for me and I assure you, all these will go. But you can choose to keep her and let us see how it goes.” He stood up and made to the door, then added, “think about that”.
‘Why on earth would he confront me on such a trivial matter?’ I asked myself. I wished I had my phone to record him!
Few minutes later, I was taken back to the Security Officer’s office where I left Charmaine. Charmaine was still there, but I did not see the Security Officer.
“What happened down there?” Charmaine asked.
“Dr Kuma came in and asked me to forget about you and face my studies, or keep you and forget about my studies.”
“Did he really say that?” She asked surprised.
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry. This all my fault. I’m sorry”, she added.
Just then, the Security Officer came in and took his seat.
“Come and write your names here. Write your phone numbers as well as your student ID numbers. You shall be contacted when we need you. Drop your student’s IDs here”, he said as he handed us a sheet of paper.
We wrote all the details as required. Our phones were returned and we were let to go.
As we were about to exit the door, Charmaine turned to the Security Officer and asked: “Are you part of this?”
Out of surprise, the Security Officer replied, “part of what?”
“Part of the gang which goes about setting students up just to sexually abuse them. Are you one of them?” She explained.
“You are too arrogant. My friend, get out of here before I hand you over to the Police”, the Security Officer shouted.
Charmaine gave him a stern look before departing. I became more scared.
The day was already far spent, so we did not bother going to class any more. We headed home.
I was hungry, but I did not have the appetite to eat. Charmaine had a shower first before going to the kitchen. She knew I was no longer myself, so she gave me some words of encouragement.
“Don’t tell me you are moody because of what happened back in the school.” she said after tapping my head.
“Why won’t I be moody? Who will help me out of this mess? I have no one. Don’t you understand?” I responded shrugging.
“Did you pick the phone?” She asked.
“Why would you even think of that?”
“Then cheer up. You have nothing to worry about. At least a search was conducted and the phone was not found in us. Don’t worry. Let’s wait for their next line of action. As for me, I don’t have any problem. Dr Kuma is nothing before me. God will handle his case when the time comes”, she assured.
I managed to eat that evening just to appease her. While we were eating, Charmaine noticed that I was toiling with my food.
“This is all my fault”, she said.
“Your fault? How? This is the second time you’re saying this.”
“Am I beautiful?” She asked.
“Yes! You are. Why asked?”
“I keep getting into trouble with people who wants me at all cost. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s…”, she paused.
“Maybe what?” I asked curiously.
“Never mind. Stop toiling with your food. Eat.”
After the meal, I relaxed on the couch as she went into the bedroom. I took a little nap. By the time I woke up, it was already dark.
“Charmaine!”, I called out.
“Please come to the bedroom”, she responded.
When I went to the bedroom, she was having fun with her phone. I began to wonder what kind of human being she was.
‘Why would she be having fun at such a crucial time?’
‘What if we end up being expelled from the school?’
‘Does it mean she is not bothered at all?’
Over a million thoughts ran through my mind. I tried to pretend I was not bothered too.
“Are you playing a game?”, I asked
“Yes”, she answered smiling.
I wanted to go home that night, but I was unable because I was afraid of what was waiting for me at home. Having remembered what happened the previous day.
“I’ll sleep here tonight. I won’t be able to go home”, I said.
“Are you scared?” She asked scornfully.
“Not really. Just that I’m tired.”
“I hear you Sir. Be my guest”, she looked me in my eyes.
That was not the first time I spent a night at her place. I returned to the couch after bidding her good night. I pulled off my trousers and shirt and kept them aside. I was enjoying my sleep until I felt someone touching me.
