Mirabel it's not you, it's me; You can't stay in this house with my boyfriend around. And Tobe will be staying here for a long time. He is the one that even paid for this house. So you see now my darling. Why you must leave my house today. Esther said.
Esther you know I have no where to go. You of all people know that I'm new in Enugu. I have no one here. You are the only sister that I have.
Don't emotional blåckma!l me. I'm not your sister. Esther said. You came to Enugu for me to get you a job. Which I did. I got you a job. My boyfriend doesn't want you around. Esther said. If it's money that you need, I have N20K remaining in my account. That's the only money I have left. You can use it. Ones my salary comes. I will balance you for the food stuffs. Mirabel said.
You can just go and stay with your boss. He got you this Iphone and the dress right? He will be more than happy to continue helping you. Esther said.
She went to the wardrobe and started bringing out Mirabel's stuffs.
Esther you are over reacting. You are taking this thing too serious. Mirabel said
Esther called her boyfriend to come take Mirabel away.
Mirabel insisted on going out on her own. She didn't want Tobe touching her. She went outside and Esther brought her bag outside.
Esther went inside without saying any word to Mirabel.
Just know that you caused this upon yourself. Tobe said to Mirabel as he went inside and locked the door.
Mirabel stayed outside alone. She thought of what to do. Who to call, where to go to.
She wanted calling her boss. But that wasn't a good idea. I have disturbed him too much already. I shouldn't be a pest in his life.
That was the moment she remembered Jemima the receptionist collected her number when they were coming home and called her.
Mirabel called Jemima. Hello Mima. Mirabel said over the phone immediately Jemima answered the call.
Hello Mirabel. How are you? Jemima asked. I'm fine. Mirabel replied.
Have you arrived home? Jemima asked.
Actually that's why I called you. Mirabel finally opened up.
What happened? Are you in danger? Jemima asked.
The thing is ehnn Mima, I don't know. Can I humm. Can I? Mirabel stuttered. Can you what? Mirabel? Jemima asked.
Can I spend the night at your place tonight? Mirabel finally opened up. What happened? Jemima asked.
My roommate's boyfriend came over, so she asked me out. Mirabel said.
Where are you now? Jemima asked. I'm coming to your street. Mirabel replied.
Okay no problem. I'm coming out now to meet you. Jemima said.
One more thing Jemima. Mirabel said. What is it? Mirabel asked. I will be spending about a couple of months with you? Mirabel said.
I'm coming down the street now. Jemima said. Thank you. Mirabel said before hanging up the call.
Mirabel took her luggage and went outside the gate. Luckily she got a bike that took her to Jemima's street which wasn't too far.
She reached the street and saw Jemima c0ming down. Jemima stopped another bike that took them to her house.
Welcome to my humble abode Mirabel. Jemima said. Thank you Mirabel said.
Have you eaten? Jemima asked Mirabel. Yes. I have. Mirabel lied. She didn't want to be a burden to Jemima.
So your roommate really did chase you out because her boyfriend came around? Jemima asked Mirabel. She just needed space with her boyfriend. So I totally understand. Mirabel said.
Okay. If you say so. So that means she wants to start living with her boyfriend. Jemima asked.
Yes. Something like that. Mirabel said. You can keep your bag at the edge that side. Jemima pointed at a corner for Mirabel to keep her bag.
Mirabel dropped her bag where Jemima recommended.
"Do you have a boyfriend"? Mirabel asked Jemima.
Jemima just started laughing uncontrollably.
