Chapter 4

"Why does Jores treat me like that? I double-locked myself. I started putting my things away that same night. I was looking forward to morning to leave this place. I was still tidying up when I received a message from an unknown number: “Good night my beauty, sweet dreams. I'm thinking of you, you can't imagine how much. My biggest dream is to have you with me. Treat you like a queen...hope you give me the chance. I think about you a lot ! Farell”. When I saw this message I quickly deleted. And I threw my phone away. When I finished tidying up, I went to watch, thank God he was gone. I closed the doors and went to sleep. At 5 a.m. I was already up to get ready. At 6:30 a.m. on the way, at 7 a.m. in the car towards Douala. A few minutes later I receive a message: “hello my angel! I hope you slept well!? I thought about you all night. I woke up with your image in my thoughts. I wish you a good day. Farell”. Bad luck! I erased again in anger. I was just prancing around in the car until a mother asked me what was wrong. I didn't say anything I just stopped and just shook my head. I arrive in Douala, a little relieved, believing that I had freed myself. I go first to my parents to spend the day. I help my sister cook. Around noon my phone rings, it's Jores. I didn't tell him that I came back from Limbe. Ouch I'm cooked, strangely my heart beats, I hesitate to answer, what do I do? What am I going to give him as an excuse? I'm going to tell her that my mother called me urgently, I didn't have time to tell her...

I pick up, his voice is calm and yet so firm, I bite my fingers, lord!"

Jores: Arole!

Arole: yes...

Jores: where are you?

Arole: uhhh…. my house !

Jores: Since when?

Arole:...since...Uh...This morning...

Jores: before leaving my house, did you inform me?

Arole:…

Jores: when I ask you a question, you answer me...

Arole: I'm sorry, I...

Jores: before leaving my house, did you tell me, yes or no??

Arole: No…

Jores: you do what you want, right??

Arole: …

Jores: Arole, beware!

"And he hung up. It's crazy how weak I am, I'm still shaking, I didn't know he was going to pass me this soap... I feel bad. Besides, how did he find out? Maybe the janitor told him...I still think about that way of talking to me...what's got into him? I didn't know this facet of my man… and then he gets angry? Yesterday he did the same, didn't he? I didn't even want to talk to him too much anyway, I think about what that idiot said to me yesterday. What if Jores had nothing to do with me? Oh no I don't want to imagine such things to myself, Jores loves me and me too, it's sadness that makes me have these thoughts. I come out of my thoughts when I receive another call, unknown number, I do not take. It rings again and again. Then I get a message: “Your day is going well I hope! I just wanted to say hello to the one who is driving me crazy. Have a good afternoon. Farel. " Shit ! My share came to Limbe! How bad luck is that? I exclaimed so loud that my sister asked me what was wrong. I told her the whole story and she herself couldn't believe it. She advised me to tell everything to Jores. But I thought back to what he said to me when I told him that his friend Farel had come to his absence. I preferred not to say anything. I started by blocking all the numbers he called me from. I had some peace and quiet. I no longer take calls from unknown numbers. The next morning, I went to see kessie and Aïcha. Along the way I meet Charlie. It's been a long time since we've seen or talked to each other. I was busy all the time and she didn't manage me. I got off the bike when I saw him. But she looked at me strangely, as if we didn't know each other."

Arole: How are you Chacha? It was a long time ago…

Charlie: Because you can't pick me up. Sorry go over there.

Arole: Ekie why are you talking to me like that?

Charlie: I'm not talking to you like that who are you? Don't you feel too nor?

Arole: Ekiee…

Charlie: Hey, get out!

"She spoke to me while looking away, as if I was not there. As we were on the way, she held out her hand to stop the taxi. So I was stupid when I got off the bike to greet her. She got in the taxi and looked at me when the taxi left. Aaah! I stood there watching the taxi drive away. I didn't understand what had happened. I actually met Charlie in college, we were in the same tutorial group. We started walking together and I liked to include him in my outings. I considered her well and we shared a lot of things. I often went to sleep at her house when we finished classes late. But for a while, we didn't have too much contact, especially since she had taken level 2, I was at level 3. Often I called her even she didn't take. After his way of talking to me there, I continued on my way. Once at Kessie's, we talked about the miscellaneous and the semester that was about to begin, the specialties, the openings, the projects... The days passed, everything was calm and peaceful. Except my heart. I was still in pain, with Jores, it was no longer the same, we no longer saw each other, I no longer wanted to go to Limbé, and he always pretended that he was very busy, and therefore he could not arrive in Douala . He asked me to come find him, but I refused each time. Something he took badly, he got angry seriously, especially since I couldn't tell him the real reason. I was tired of it all. He sent me vague messages, and when I answered, there was no follow-up. When he called me, we barely spoke for 2 minutes. And I was afraid to write to him and to call him, in fact, my pride prevented me from doing so. Between us, a few things had changed. Semester 2 had started and I was staying at the apartment to shorten my path and expenses. One day I come back from campus, I arrive in front of the apartment, I am flabbergasted. He was easily seated at the reception. When I saw him, I wanted to slowly go back to get out and go back to my parents."

…When I turned around, I hit my head on the chest of a gentleman who was entering. It made the noise and he saw me. Bad luck!

Farel: Arole, I've been waiting for you for a long time...

Arole: Did I already tell you to leave me alone?

I ran to get into my apartment, he chased me. I was out of breath on the stairs. I forced until my heart would drop.

Farel: I don't know why you're running away. Finally, stop running!

Arole: my brother, leave me alone!

I couldn't run anymore. I stopped, he caught up with me. He started singing the same song to me. He likes me, he wants me, he wants to treat me better… damn I went back downstairs to go to my parents. I quickly took the motorcycle, without waiting. That's how I was able to escape him. When I got back I thought I had run away. He sent me the messages by different unknown numbers, I was fed up. I was suspicious, I was hiding, I didn't even want to leave my house anymore. The following week, I went to the store where I invested my savings. Yes, at first Jores gave me a little too much money. I had already accumulated a lot. It happened that Anna, a longtime friend, needed money to develop her business...I thought it was good to invest in it and become a partner. So I went to replace Anna on Monday as usual. I spend my day in peace, I have a few clients that I had through the networks. Very nice day. Around 5 p.m. when I am doing the accounts, I had my head down and focused on the account book. Someone enters. By reflex, I invite him to visit and make his choice. Nobody speaks, that's when I raise my head. I stand up abruptly and step back. Witchcraft!
