Shantel and Becky sat on the dinning table silently.
the
maid came and serve them thier food after which she
stun
out. Becky was Shantel best friend.
“Becky,
the issue here is not what my parents told you or how
my
depletion is affecting them. Is about someone I love.
An
innocent man they fraimed up, who will be sentence
God
knows how many years in prison. His not happy there.
he’s
always crying and there is no way I will be free nor
happy
with him in there, absolutely no way” Shantel placed
her
right hand on her forehead facing downward remembering
the
good memories she shared with Austin.
“It.really baffles me how a millionaires daughter, did
I
say millionaire? a billionaire like your dad could be doing
all this
for this guy. Do you know if he could be a good digger
for
God sake he was your driver…your serv……..”
“Just stop it” Shantel
interrupted waving her hand at her.
“Infact
leave this place” Shantel instructed.
“Awww!!!” Becky pretended not to have heard her.
“I
said leave this place right now” shantel repeated
herself.
“Shantel, are you asking me out of your house?” Becky
asked.
“Becky I said get out of this place before I stab you and
join Austin in
cell” Shantel shouted. Becky stood up.
“Ok.
I will go” she said and left.

“Shantel,you are here crying again today why?” Vicky
asked
Shantel yet no response from her. She tried wiping off
the
tears rolling down on Shantel’s cheek but it seems
to
be dropping the more. Vicky was Shantel’s school
friend.
meanwhile, they were seen seating at the back of their
school
building where lovers mostly hang around.
“I
don’t think I will ever have joy. I mean, the guy I love is
still
in the prison” Shantel replied sneezing.
“Girl. our
final exam is coming up tomorrow and you are behaving
this
way why nah?” Vicky asked again rhetorically.
“Is
of no use to me. I know my future is bright but I have
no
future without Austin” Shantel replied.
“Shantel.
I’m highly disappointed at you. fear will not help anything
at all”
“Vicky, you don’t know him”
“you have told me everything about him. A guy that
invested
so much energy and time lecturing you will not be
happy
to learn that you messed it up because he was away.
that’s
the worst way to show appreciation”
“I don’t
know what to do, I’m so confused” Shantel Replied crying.
Becky
adjusted closer to her and used her hands to wipe her
tears.
“is ok. compose yourself write your exams, that’s the
greatest
gift you can give him still in the prison. write your exams
very
well and see him after that, you owe him that you know!”
