Half of me Page #6

SCENE 21

The family went for the party and at the party Terry and Alisha weren’t really getting along because the little misunderstanding they had before leaving for the party and as a result Alisha left the party early leaving the other members behind.

After the party Terry was found so drunk that they had to carry him home and when they got home the mother took him to a different room, brought his phone out and sent Anna text messages to come over. Anna went

Anna:
Mama where is Terry?

Terry’s mum:
He is in the other room and Anna I want you to do me a favor, this last plan might work out so well for as

Anna:
Mama what is it? What’s the plan this time round?

Terry’s mum:
You see the messages you got on your phone; I sent them using his phone because he is drunk. Now get yourselves naked and lie under the blanket with him, do whatever you want with him till day break, I will take it from there

Anna:
I’m afraid of what he might do when he wakes up

Terry’s mum:
This is your last chance to have this gentleman to yourself, uncles you want to change your mind

Anna:
Wow my dream is finally coming true but mother can you please give us some privacy? (starring at Terry on the bed)

Terry’s mum leaves the room and Anna did exactly as instructed and because terry was drunk he didn’t know what was happening

Alisha on the other hand waited for Terry come to bed but he never came even though she got worried sick but along the line she fell as sleep too

SCENE 22

DAY 4 @ THE VILLAGE

It was 5am, Terry’s mother went to check and realized that terry and Anna were still in bed, so she quickly went to where Alisha is sleeping

Terry’s mum:
(Pretend to be looking for your son) Alisha why is terry not here?

Alisha:
(wake up) Mama I think he didn’t come home (stretch your body)

Terry’s mum:
Aunty Aaahhh so you went to bed when your man never came home, won’t you go out and look for him or you don’t care to know where he will be by this time?

Alisha:
(get out of the bed) Mama I fell asleep at mid night didn’t know he never came, I will come out and check

Terry’s mum:
You know that is what you should do but you were still sleeping (leave the room)

Alisha came out of her room and was checking the rooms and the hall having hope that she might find him lying inside and unfortunately she went and opened one of the rooms and saw Terry and Anna sleeping together so she went inside to confirm

Alisha:
Oh my God, what’s happening here?

Terry:
(wake up upon hearing the Alisha’s voice, turn and check who you sleeping with) Anna? No

Anna:
( wake up too) Terry check your phone, you called and texted me to come, so why are acting as if you know nothing about my being here

Alisha:
Terry? You? (Pointing at Anna) how could you do this to us? You are cheating on me, with her, I really can believe what my eyes are seeing right now (leave the room with tears in your eyes)

Alisha went straight to the room and started packing her things when Terry came in with a black

Terry:
Babe you need to let me explain this you, nothing really happened between us, I’m very sorry you had to see as in that awful position but believe me nothing happened

Alisha:
Terry just leave me

Alisha picked her bag and was leaving the room, Terry tried to stop but it didn’t work

Terry went back to scold Anna and she confessed to him about how his mother push her in to do that to him. So he quickly went to his mother to confront her

Terry:
Mother how could you do this to me, your son, I mean how?

Terry’s mum:
Son I don’t know what you are talking about

Terry:
Mum please do not play dumb with me. I know what you did because Anna told me everything how you plan with her and had me kept in a position that I’m about I lose Alisha right now

Terry’s mum:
Really and you believe her. That stupid girl

Uncle Ben was also coming to check on how terry was faring since he got drunk at his party, when he saw Alisha leaving the house.

Uncle Ben:
Good morning my dear, how was your night? And where are you going with your bag?

Alisha:
Uncle I’m fine and I’m leaving. I think Terry has finally made things clear to me and I think is best I leave now

Uncle Ben:
Tell me what he did to you, because he was drunk yesterday and they had to carry him home. I hope he didn’t beat you?

Alisha:
No Uncle he didn’t, but he didn’t come to his room last night and this morning when I was going round looking for him I saw him in bed with Anna on one of the beds and both of them were naked

Uncle Ben:
What? No, there might be something wrong somewhere, did you let him explain? Because he was so drunk yesterday

Alisha:
Uncle I can’t listen to him because I have seen them with my own eyes and ever since I came, I smell something fishy between those two and they have confirmed it

Uncle Ben:
My dear just wait for me and don’t leave yet

Uncle ben went into the house and he could Terry and the mother’s voices

Terry’s mum:
I’m trying to save your neck son

Terry:
No mum please don’t because this is what you did and dad left us early

Terry’s mum:
(slap terry) how dare you talk to me like that, because you know nothing about him

Uncle Ben stepped in

Uncle ben:
Terry, you are here when Alisha is leaving? I stopped her though, she is at the car, go and try talking to her.

Terry quickly left to go and talk to Alisha and when he go to her she was putting her bag in the car boot

Terry:
(go on your knees) Babe please do not leave

Alisha:
No I have to

Terry:
Lets go somewhere so that I can explain everything to you or better still let’s just get married (taking a ring out of your pocket)

Alisha:
listen terry we don’t have to do this in a rush, I understand you okay. But for now I want to leave you to really figure out what you really want because for me I know is you I want and nobody else. I thought I could fight for us but I’m losing everyday (Help terry stand up afterwards then you leave)

Both partners were back to the city again but this because they were on a break; giving themselves sometime to reconsider their decisions.

SCENE 22

At Alisha’s home

Alisha was found on bed going through terry’s pictures on her phone and deleting them as well whiles crying (heartbreak) her mother came into her room and found her in that situation

Alisha’s mum:
Alisha why are you doing this yourself? And besides is not like he left you but rather you told him to stay away and now you are feeling the pain. Please stop crying and pull yourself together. Okay (sit on Alisha’s bed and put her head on your laps) Do you want me to bring him back?

Alisha:
No mum, leave him, he never loved me, I think he just wanted a fling and I took him serious

Alisha’s mum:
No don’t say that he does, he loves you and one can see it from the way he looks at

Alisha:
Mum is pretense don’t fall for his looks

SCENE 23

At Alisha’s office.

She was sitting there looking so worried because all she did was to work herself out over Terry

She was in her office, when her boss sent for her to come and she was quiet nervous because she wasn’t yet certain about the outcome of the presentation she did, when she got to the door, she knocked and entered

Alisha’s boss:
Please come and have a seat

Alisha:
Thank you sir, Good morning. Hope all is well?

Boss:
Good morning, let me just go straight to the point, we haven’t still had any response yet and I don’t even know if we should be preparing for another power point for a different investor

Alisha:
Sir, please let’s give them a little time and see probably to the end of this we might hear from them.

Boss:
Really, okay if you say so but please be getting prepared for another one, in case we don’t hear any good news from them

Alisha:
Okay sir, please can I leave now

Boss:
Yes please you can

Alisha leaves her boss’ office to her own office where she went and picked her phone and was contemplating whether to call or text Terry or not and in no time she decided to call Terry

Alisha:
Hello Terry, How are you doing?

Terry:
I’m fine Alisha and you too? But to what do I owe this surprise call?

Alisha:
(Finding it difficult to talk) I’m doing well, I just want to find out if you know anything about the response your boss will be offering because I’m asked to prepare for another presentation but I thought of asking you before

Terry:
so if not because of that you won’t check up on, me right?

Alisha:
Terry please let’s not toe that lane okay I’m sorry for not always checking on you, is just that.. No is nothing

Terry:
What is it?

Alisha:
I think I will be demoted if this deal doesn’t go through

Terry:
Is that what your boss said?

Alisha:
No, I’m just the one having that feeling

Terry:
Well I will tell you to always take a chill pill before you run your conclusions okay

Alisha:
Okay sir

Terry:
you will hear from us by the end of the week

Alisha:
Okay then we will be expecting to hear from you and thanks for your time

Terry:
welcome and bye for now

Terry quickly went to his mail to check if his boss has sent the response mail to him and fortunately it was part so he decided that he was going to send it to Alisha’s boss the following day. He was still going through the mails when he mother’s call came in but he never picked because he was still upset with what the mother did and because of that he hasn’t spoken to the mother since he left the village and she also kept calling because he was worried.
