Chapter 80 Love clinic

The first day of the relationship class had Kate sharing a stunning stare across the beautiful and handsome faces that had experienced hurt at one point in their lives. Prior to that time she had thought heart break was meant for a special kind of people but with what she was seeing she had come to realize heart break was a general disease.

Once she entered the class her eyes searched for vacant seats; the pews were occupied in its entirety that if one should sprinkle water across no drop of water would touch the floor. Just then her gaze caught a hand waving her over; it was the arm of a pretty girl that looked like a doll. Kate puzzled before following her wave; when she got to the girl’s pew, she realized there was room enough to accommodate just one person; and she was that lucky person. The girl shifted and Kate sat beside her.

“Thank you,” Kate appreciated her kind gestures. “I will have stood all through the class if not for you.”

All the while Kate spoke, the girl had a huge smile that left her chin sinking into dimples and mouth flashing well arranged white dentition. She was twenty one years of age and the daddy kind of girl; Kate thought.

“My name is Eva,” the girl finally spoke, offering her hand to Kate for a warm handshake.

Kate let an uneasy smile, “I am Kate,” she said and took her arms. Nice meeting you,” she said.

“Nice meeting you too,” Eva added. “This is your first day in this love clinic right,” she said.

Kate rolled her eyes thoughtfully, “Eh, yes. What about you?”she asked, wishing she wouldn’t discuss her horrible love life with her because from the look of things it was heading to that..

“It is my first,” Eva’s smile was hugely held. “What led to your heart break?”

Kate swallowed hard and feigned she didn’t hear her by looking away.

“Kate!” Eva called, tapping her on the shoulder and Kate gave her a hostile look.

“I wouldn’t want to discuss that now? Kate replied coldly and shifted her stare upon the tattoo on the laps of Eva; it was the faces of two females kissing. “I love your tattoo, she remarked.

Eva smiled at her in appreciation, and felt like kissing her thick, pink lips, but fought off the urge; hoping to kiss her some day, as her lover and nothing less than that.

At once their gaze came upon the woman, the same woman that introduced herself to Kate and Mrs. Coleman as the relationship counselor. And the whole audience that had been murmuring slowly gave way for quietness before giving her listening ears. The woman started off with a simple introduction of herself

“Hi, my beloved my name is Tessy and I will be your relationship counselor in all of this session. So we are going to start by introducing ourselves to the house. We will begin with you,” she pointed to an elderly woman, who obviously would be in her late sixties. She was the oldest among them. Kate‘s attention was so drawn to the woman that when Eva whispered to her about the woman, she gave her full attention to grab the full gist.

“She is a billionaire but a sugar mummy,” Eva whispered, “The news making the round is that she has been so disappointed by toy boys that she almost took her life fortnights ago,” Eva’s eyes darted around as she whispered to Kate, “Don’t worry, we are all hear now to get the full gist.” She said conclusively, smiling at Kate and sitting up properly.

“I am Kate Fanny,” Kate introduced herself to the house once it was her turn and about to take her seat, a young boy behind her whispered to her, “Sorry about your leaked nude video. I still have it on my phone but I am going to delete it right away, OK,” he whispered behind her neck and lifted his phone at Kate’s face to show he had deleted it, before they listened to what Tessy had for them.

Kate became uncomfortable instantly. She could feel itches all over her body that she stood up, excused herself to use the convenience. In there she washed her face in the sink, and assured herself that she was going to be fine.

As soon as she came back to the class, Eva held her hands and rubbed on it, encouraging her with a contagious smile, after noticing the discomfort on her face.

“You,” the counselor pointed at the elderly woman, “You are going to be our case study today. You are to narrate to us your relationship and your heart break. We will listen to it and learn what we need to learn, Ok.”

The house encouraged her with a clapping ovation as she stood up to narrate her ordeal. The whole place went dead at once.

Kate shot her gaze keenly at the woman, studying how she was lavishly dressed with diamond bracelets and necklace curling her wrists and neck. Although she didn’t look sixty five Kate could notice from her quaking voice that of a truth she was declining in age.

“I am Jane.” The woman introduced herself. “I never wanted to do toy boys,” the woman started off “Until one day I caught my husband in bed with our chef, a girl much young to be our daughter. I was enraged and disappointed in love. This used to be a man that promised to water this love with me. Of course I had to retaliate. I found a young boy on the street, and charmed him into sleeping with me. On a very cold evening, my husband barged in on the boy pounding me powerfully in bed while I vibrated under his libido. I could see the pain and disgust walking on his face while he watched the young boy pound into the vagina of his dear wife. I knew our union wasn’t going to be in safe hands anymore. Of course it led to our divorce. And I thought I was free and happy. Life after then became even worse. Each toy boy that came my way seemed to be the best but with time, the devil in them was revealed. It had been from one bad heart break to a maddening one. I thought dating a younger man was going to be a break through, my redemption, but little did I know that I was in for the sadder part of life. I need to be happy. Right now I am calling it a quit until I find true love from anybody whether older or younger … I just want to be loved…free and happy…. I” the elderly woman stuttered before breaking down in tears. There was murmuring among them and Tessy walked over to her seat and patted her shoulder to nurse her.

“You just have to be strong, tighten your belt and move on. Listen all of you,” Tessy said, staring across the audience. “Every man or woman that comes into your life is there for either fishing or staying. If they are not staying with you till the end of time they will cheat; they will hit you; they will nag, and leak your nude videos.”

At the mention of nude videos, Kate brought her face down and started fondling the hem of her dress in shame.

She continued, “They will humiliate you in any way they can because they have come to fish. As soon as they are done sucking your body dry, your finance dry, your value dry, like a fisher man they will toss you back into the ocean and flee, because they don’t need you. Listen up beautiful and handsome people, never you date or marry any man or woman that comes into your life because of a need. You are just in for heart break.”

Kate never knew Eva had been sobbing until she heard her sniff repeatedly.

“Oh my God!” she exclaimed “Why are you all tears?” Kate asked her in whispers.

After struggling to control her sob for a few seconds, she managed to say, “Jane is …. Is …. She is my mother,” she said stuttering.

And when Kate looked at the woman, she was in tears too and staring in their direction…
