Chapter 40
“Do you mean my parent?” Romeo asked.
“Yes, I wanna meet your mum again, she’s very nice, I think she must be taking care of you. Not like my mum, she’s always busy with her business” Pamela said.
“Well, they are fine,” Romeo said sweating.
He used his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
“I didn’t ask if they are okay, I said are they coming to the competition?” Pamela asked.
“Oh you mean your mum would be coming, that’s great,” Romeo said trying to escape Pamela’s question.
“Why are you sweating profusely, you should relax, I don’t think your parent is coming, that’s why you are trying to ignore my question.
I knew everything, they won’t come, am very sorry I caused everything, I have caused you pain” Pamela said with tears dropping down her cheek.
“What are you saying. common stop this if is a joke, I don’t understand what you are saying, don’t tell me you want to go Into acting, because you’ve started acting now” Romeo said thinking Pamela didn’t know anything about him being disowned.
“I knew your parent disown you all because of me”‘ Pamela said.
Romeo was shocked.
“What are you saying Pamela, Romeo wasn’t disowned, are you thinking like that, just because he’s working in the restaurant, don’t be naughty he was only during that so he would let his parent know he is independent,” Angela said coming closer to them.
“Angela, am saying the truth, wait don’t tell me you aren’t aware of this, I thought you guys are close friends. How could you not know this”Pamela said looking at Romeo.
He threw his face away. “Pamela I think you need to see your doctor, sorry to say, I think you are stressed. Romeo isn’t disown, why will his parent want to disown a 20years old guy” Angela said.
“Gosh! I know you won’t believe me so know point in trying o convince you, why don’t you just ask him” Pamela said.
“She’s right, there’s no need to ask me. I was disowned, am nothing as good as an orphan.
I don’t have a parent, that’s it, so why should I talk about those that don’t exist to me, why will I waste my time talking about them”Romeo said and rushed out of the studio changing room and ran out.
“Romeo” Pamela and Angela shouted and ran after him.
“Wait, Maybe Romeo was angry because the two went into the guy’s inner room,” A student said.
“Shut up idiot, if you don’t know what to say with that mouth of yours, I think it will be better if you clip it”Pamela yelled angrily and threw her shoe at him. She went to take her shoe.
“You are senseless, idiot!”Angela yelled.
“Pamela, what happened?” Kiles asked.
Pamela didn’t reply and rushed out to look for Romeo.
Angela fellows her. Annie and Joyce also followed them.
“Where could he has gone?”Pamela asked looking around.
“I can’t say. I don’t know where could have gone?” Angela replied.
“Pamela, what happened?” Annie asked.
“I approached him, but he got angry instead” Pamela replied.
“Why don’t we spread and search for him,” Joyce said.
“Good Idea, I will take this part, “Pamela said and went towards the school field.
Romeo was playing cricket all by himself. He looks angry.
“Romeo” Pamela called angrily.
Romeo didn’t reply to her.
“Romeo, can’t you hear am calling you what’s is your problem!”Pamela asked angrily and try to hold him.
He remove his hand and she fell.
“Ouch, what nonsense, what’s your problem. Just calm down” Pamela yelled.
“Sorry for pushing you, common let me help you up, “Romeo said and brought out his hand to help her up.
“I can stand up myself, I don’t need your help,” Pamela said with a pout.
“Whatever is your choice,” Romeo said.
“Help me up, why are you so arrogant, O Gosh!”Pamela shouted holding her head.
“You better stop yelling so you won’t have a heart attack, You are so strange, I don’t how your present always manages to stop me from being unhappy despite your rudeness.
You are annoying but I found it interesting. Whenever you yelled and shout at me, I feel like my sister is very close to me, she’s found of yelling and am fond of teasing her “Romeo said smiling and lay on the ground beside Pamela.
“Goodness why are you so dirty, you sleep on the floor, ” Pamela said still sitting on the ground.
“What’s different does it makes, do you forget you are also sitting on the floor. Moreover, this is a field, everywhere is clean, so we can’t contact diseases” Romeo said smiling.
“You are angry minutes ago, and here you are smiling, while Angela and my friends are looking for you,” Pamela said.
“Why is that, looking for me!, when am not lost, you should call them, let them know am okay and happy here with you,” Romeo said.
“Hmmm, you should be grateful, who cares”Pamela said with a pout and try to stand up.
Romeo drags her back. She fell on his chest. They both share eye locked.
“Hmmm, miss please stand up on my chest, don’t Kill me”Romeo signals her.
“You are the caused, why do you drag me, what’s your problem, I hate you,” Pamela said and wanted to get up.
“Can you come again, I mean I want to hear that statement again” Romeo asked without allowing her to stand up.
“You disperse me sometimes, just leave me alone,” Pamela said and hit his chest.
“You can stand up now, as you said, I disperse you sometimes, which means, you do like my company sometimes, WOW that’s great,” Romeo said and wink at her.
“You are naughty and silly, let go of me,” Pamela said smiling.
“WOW!, I do like it when I see your white teeth, Don’t start blushing, Because I Know that’s what girls do, blushing unnecessarily, “Romeo said.
“Whatever, that’s your problem, get lost,” Pamela said and stand up to him.
“Just tell me you like it when I flirt with you,” Romeo said.
“Whatever, join us in the studio, we need to practice, “Pamela said and turn to leave.
“Am not coming, am in a bad mood, and why do you ask about my parent.
Well if you don’t know.
Am just an orphan, Mr. Emery disowns me without thinking twice, so I won’t think twice to count myself as an orphan” Romeo said.
“Common, they are still your parent, and they love you, must especially your mum. She missed you” Pamela said and faced him.
“If she missed me, she would have come to see me, I don’t miss them, they even lie that am abroad studying, while am here in Korean, how could they have gone so far,” Romeo said and wipes his tears.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I can speak for your mum, she was threatened. Your dad said he would divorce her, so what could she have done” Pamela said.
“Common let’s get off it, I don’t have anything to do with them. Am cool on my own, “Romeo said.
“They are still your parent, and would always be, so why don’t you forgive them and leave the past behind, let’s bygone be is bygone,” Pamela said.
“Get off it Pamela, there’s no point. Am not ready to find any bond with them again, I can take care of myself. They Don’t consider me a son “Romeo said.
“And do you consider me a friend, if yes, why do you hide this from me?. I want to know?”Angela asked from behind.
They both turned back to look at her.
“Angela, am sorry, I don’t just want you to start sympathizing with me” Romeo replied.
“Since am not important, then I will only forgive you if you forgive them, “Angela said.
“Really!, So you want me to go to that house, and beg them to forgive me, no, the answer is no.
And am not going to change my mind, even if I will lost all my friends”Romeo said.
“Why are you being stubborn, come back to your senses guy”Angela yelled and gave him a hot slap.
“What!”Pamela’s eyes widened covering her mouth with her hand.
