Secret Shared

Chapter 20

"You mean you were locked in prison? And you didn't tell me? When was that? Before I was admitted or after? When was that? I told you to always share things with me, you don't talk to me, why?"

"Well, let's just leave him and go on our way" Nathan said.

"If he was the one that had the chance to beat us like that, do you think he would ever had a rethink"

"No, I know but we just need to leave him, we are much better than him"

"Thank you, Thank you" I appreciate" Marcus said in a shaky voice.

"Let's go and leave him" Hr said and they left.

On their way, they held each other's hands and there was total silence, no one wanted to start the conversation, just then Nathan broke the silence.

"I am sorry"

"Hmm.... Don't be sorry if you are not planning to change your ways"

"Ways, oh! Do you think I don't want to talk to you about what is going on? No, it isn't like that, it is just that I don't want to bother you with my problem, you are just getting heal, and I don't want to stress you with my own"

"But when it was my own problem, you carrier it like yours, you took it like yours and when it was your problem, you only want to face yours, Nathan things are not done that way"

"I apologize, but you shouldn't have meet with that guy, you shouldn't have meet with Marcus regardless, you know he is always with his goons, and they are ready to do anything, ready to harm or hurt"

"Wait, tell me when did you learn to fight with your leg? Omoh! I was just watching you fight, why were you behaving like a coward the other day when you know you are so good?"

"I only wanted to protect you, if I was the only one I would have allowed them do whatever they want to do"

"That is a lie, I know you just learnt this, well I was surprised when you told me they arrested you, all these rich people used to treat people of lower class like they are nothing"

"Hmm... I am not a lower class, I am super rich than him"

"Huh, now I think you don't have a choice than to elucidate it to me what happened exactly, aren't we one now? We are?"

"I know, but you see this life, you can trust no one..."

"What do you mean? So you couldn't trust me and you donated your kidney to me?" Joan interrupted.

"I didn't donate my kidney to you because I want to date you or because I want you to like me, I did because you once helped me and I think I should be able to help you back, and as for the trust, I never said I didn't trust you but I was explaining something"

"Ooh... I am sorry for interrupting, but you can always trust me"

They got to a place where they could sit down, and they sat down.

"Well, my parents are very rich"

"Yeah, I suggested, because of your surname"

"I once had a good family, in fact if you ever visited my home then, you would pray to have that kind of home, mum and dad were fine and everything was going on smoothly, my dad run companies and he make sure we do not lack anything"

"That is good, but you said once, and I am sure there is more to it, please further more"

"Everything was going smoothly and I was always happy with the people I was surrounded with, my dad, a very good and faithful man, my mum visit my dad unaware at the company and she had never complain or see something she isn't please with, dad always satisfy mum, with money and every other things"

"It is hard to find a faithful man these days, I just hope you will be faithful just like him"

"Hey! Beautiful lady, will you just allow me to talk"

She smiled and replied, " I am sorry lecturer, could you please go on"

They both smiled, and minutes after he continued.

"My mum always tell me how nice my dad is to and whenever I get married, I should be as nice as my dad to my wife, I used to love the relationship between them, I mean they are just too perfect, dad surprise mum at least once a month"

"Aww... That is so cool"

"Mum used to visit her friends, she used to tell us that she do visit her friends, and dad never ask who they are because he trusted her so much, he believes that she is doing well and won't do what he won't like"

"Whoa! Well, continue"

"Mum used to spend like thirty minutes when she visit the people she called her friends, thirty minutes was extended to an hour, an hour to two, and the hours she keeps using keep prolonging, mum came back one day and I asked her if truly she was visiting her friends, she nodded positively. Mum used to look for ways to fight my dad, just any mistake she would turn it into a very big fight, I used to get scared and I am always crying if they fight, dad won't touch mum even when mum frustrated her, mum slapped dad so many times, but dad didn't do that, I always cry whenever they fight and one day I called my mum and pleaded with her to be cool and fine with dad, dad also begged her but she said dad used to cause it, I asked her what exactly dad used to do, and she doesn't have anything to say, the first time I would see my dad cry was mum left home without even telling us where she went to and she spent the other day, my dad couldn't sleep, he was crying all through and I had no choice than to cry too, the next day she came back, I asked her where she went to, she told me she didn't owe me or my dad any explanation about her whereabout"
