Chapter 16
"What are you talking about?" Miriam asks. "Would you rather stay where you will be killed or come home where you're safe?"
"If I leave now, Sagar will make matters worse. I don't want to give him that satisfaction." Johnson says.
Durga struggling stands up. She glares at the family who embarrassed her. Her face is red and some veins are protruding around her neck. Angrily, she leaves the kitchen.
"Mom I think you all should leave before matters gets worse."
"But John..."
"Don't worry. I know how to handle this problem. Trust me."
Johnson walks his family to the door and hug one last time before they leave. Johnson closes the door and cleans the tears that falls down his cheeks. Johnson turns around and his heart leaps seeing Durga right behind him.
"You think you have won? Wait till Sagar hears what you did to me." Durga leaves.
Johnson feels his phone vibrate in his pocket. He brings it out of his pocket and sees Steven calling him. He clears his throat and answers the call.
"Johnson?"
"Hello Steven."
"How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"I'm calling because of the dance rehearsal. Just this once and if you don't like it then I won't force anymore." Steven says.
"Steven..."
"Johnson. Just this once." Steven pleads.
"Ah... okay I will be there. Send me the location."
"I will."
Johnson packs some fit clothes in his bag and leaves the house. With the location Steven sent him, he easily found his way to the building. Steven is outside the building waiting him. Johnson notices the white and black stripes painted three storey building. They walk inside and Johnson sees a receptionist. They walk into an elevator. They stop at the third floor and walk out of the elevator. As they walk closer to a room, Johnson hears music coming from the room and he sees people dancing to beats of the music through the window.
Johnson and Steven walk in the room and everyone stops dancing.
"Hey everyone. Sorry for interrupting but meet Johnson, my friend from university. He wishes to dance with us."
Everyone claps for him and Johnson bows his head slightly as he smiles. Johnson drops his bag beside the wall and walks to the back to join in the dance.
After two hours of invigorating dancing, Johnson sits on the ground trying to regain his breath and energy. He feels so enlightened and happy as he remembers how he dances in the university and now he knows he still got it.
Steven comes and sits down beside Johnson.
"So how do you feel?" Steven asks.
"Amazing." Johnson chuckles.
"So will I be expecting you tomorrow?"
Johnson looks at Steven and nods, "Definitely."
"Okay."
"Thanks for everything but I have to go."
"Of course."
Johnson arrives at home and is shocked to see who are in front of him. His entire family and Sagar's family, some standing while some sitting. He hurriedly walks inside and he notices some glares at him especially from Durga, His dad and Sagar.
"What's wrong?" Johnson asks looking at everyone.
"Please tell us where you're coming from." Durga asks.
Johnson wants to answer but he keeps quiet.
"You see. He doesn't want to say the truth because we have caught him red handed." Sagar says smirking.
"What are you talking about?" Johnson asks.
"That you are cheating on me. You cheated on me on our honeymoon and you put the blame on me." Sagar replies.
"Sagar, both you and I know what really happened that day and God in heaven know you cheated on me."
"Then where are you coming from?" Garg asks.
Johnson glares at his father, "I went shopping. Is that a sin?"
"Johnson why are lying? Please the truth." Miriam pleads with tears in her eyes.
Johnson walks to his mother. "Mother please tell me what's going on? I'm confused."
"I know for fact he is coming from his lovers house. Let's check his bag." Sagar says.
"You have no right to do that. You arent checking my bag."
"Why? Because you're afraid the truth will be exposed."
"Johnson if you have nothing to hide then please show us your bag." Miriam says.
Johnson looks at his mother and he decides to to give the bag to Sagar who grabs and unzips it and pours everything to the ground.
Johnson's clothes falls to the ground but something more catches Johnson's eyes, a red rose with a card.
