I am still searching for the word to use
in
describing the situation I just found
myself.
Janet is surely going to give me a lot of
headache with this her new decision to
reconsider me. She said no earlier and
I’ve
moved on, I don’t know why she’s
changing
her mind now. Besides, all the rumours
I’ve
heard and revelations I’ve seen about
her has
drained almost all the feeling I have for
her. I
naturally hate seeing somebody,
especially a
lady getting hurt because of my action
or
inaction, but I might have to start with
her if
I’m ever going to have peace on the
long run.
I showed Temmy the text message I
received
from her and he advised me not to
meet her
anytime soon, though I had promised
her. I
waved off Janet’s issue from my head
and
narrated all I could remember from my
dream
expedition to Temmy and Funmi. We all
laughed about it and eventually
conclude it’s
time to start taking risk fear. Courage is
acting with fear not without fear.
We all went to church on Sunday in
Funmi’s
car, and after church service, we
headed
straight to Funmi’s to her hostel. It was
a
girls’ only hostel made of two separate
story
buildings in the same compound with
all
rooms constructed as self-contained.
We met
some ladies in the compound, most on
shorts.
Some were sitting on an abandoned
old
wooden table while others were sitting
on
different plastic chairs, drinking and
chatting.
Though, they weren’t drinking alcohol
at that
moment, many bottles of alcoholic
drinks
scattered all over the compound that
look so
unkempt, embarrassing the obvious
beauty of
the buildings.
Some of them stood up and to embrace
Funmi
while others continue their discussions.
We
entered her room and I was surprised
to see a
simple decorated room contrary to my
expectation of something big owing to
her
obvious financial status. The only thing
in the
room that is not in our room is the
refrigerator
and that was where I headed first. I
opened
the refrigerator and could not find beer
or
other alcoholic drinks except for
numerous
types of juice, water and one red wine.
Me: I was expecting to find alcohol in
here
Funmi: I don’t buy them any more, I’ve
long
been trying to stop taking it.
Temmy: Meaning you only drink when
you go
to party or when it’s bought for you?
Funmi: Yes, including cigarette. The red
wine
is a gift from my young cousin on my
last
birthday.
Me: Which means if you can do away
with
people that might buy it for you or
invite you
to a party of such, you are good
Funmi: Yes, but that’s practically not
easy. I
am a kind of person that love to see
people
around me most time, which is why I
said I
need your help. I can’t leave my friends
without having friends to relate to.
Me: I understand, but what about your
boyfriend or is it fiance?
Funmi: I’m not in a relationship.
Me: Oh! Why did you break up and
since
when?
Funmi: I never had a boyfriend in my
life.
Me: Are you kidding me? From
secondary
school up to this stage, you are rich,
beautiful
and you attend party a lot coupled with
the
fact you have numerous wild friends
and I’m
sure many of them if not all have more
than
one boyfriend and yet you never had a
man?
Funmi: (Smiles) My father is the type
that will
never allow me out when I was
younger. He
sent to a girls only school and never
give
breathing space to the extent barely
have
friend in secondary school. It was when
I
gained admission and he had to head
his
office in another state that I got this
freedom
I’m enjoying. Besides I hate breakups
and it
happens a lot around me, that
discourages
me. My cousin nearly commit suicide
because
her ex broke up with her.
Me: Hmm, you are not discouraged, you
are
rather scared. So how do you manage
unrelenting suitors? I’m sure you’ll have
them
in bulk
Funmi: I don’t usually give them time or
space
to say anything except if I happen to
like the
fellow. Those are the one I made my
friends
rather dating them.
Temmy: Master friend-zoning, you
highness
ma (We all laughed)
Even though I am obviously growing in
love
and affection for her, hearing this
made me
think maybe I should just zone myself
before
she officially zone me like others. We
stayed a
while in her room while prepared
noddles for
us.
We were all playing ludo game after
the meal
when one of her hostel friends burst
into the
room without knocking, telling her she
has a
visitor outside. Funmi asked for the
identity of
the visitor and why the person isn’t
coming
into her room instead of staying
outside and
calling out, but her friend refuse to give
any
reasonable information about who the
person
might be. We sensed maybe the visitor
is a
guy or the visitor is intimidated by our
presence, so we decided to leave at
that point
for her to accommodate her visitor. We
all
headed outside only to find Uche
laughing
with the ladies outside. She was the
said
visitor who has come to say thank you
to all
of them concerning her birthday party.
Plus
Uche were other five guys sited with
the
ladies. As we were moving towards
gate Uche
sighted me and rush down to me in her
usual
disturbing manner.
Uche: Will wait!
Me: What’s the problem?
Uche: you refused to pick my calls
yesterday,
why?
Me: Because I died before I
resurrected.
Uche: I wanted to ask how you were
feeling?
How are you now?
Me: Really? You wanted to know how I
was
feeling after you neglected me at your
party as
if I’m nothing. Well you’ve your answer,
I died.
Uche: Stop saying that now. I wanted to
cater
for you but your friend won’t allow me
(pointing to Temmy).
Me: Of course he won’t, how will he
know if
you were only coming to confirm if I’m
dead or
not, so you can finish your work if I
wasn’t.
Uche: Will stop saying rubbish in your
mouth,
how can I want you dead? I like you
more
than you think. I was the one that pour
the
water that brought you back
Me: Wao! Thank you pastor or is it
prophet
Uche for bringing me back. I’m sure you
are
happy and satisfied. Just do me a
favour,
don’t come near me again.
Uche: Why now? I’m not the one that hit
you
now?
Me: Yeah, but you were the one that
forced
me to the party playing supervisor card.
If I
wasn’t at the party, of course my head
will be
free of plank. By the way, tell your
friends that
hit me I said my head is not a cricket
ball. No
thanks to them, I see stars in different
colours
now.
Uche: Why didn’t you want to come in
the first
place. I was expecting you to cut my
cake with
me
Me: Cut cake with you as your what?
Uche: As my person now you know. I
don’t
know how you can like Janet and not
me.
What do you see in her self.
Me: Uche you are hungry again. Just
remember, don’t come near me again
Uche: That won’t be possible. For your
information, our supervisor is going to
merge
our project together after first
semester
defense. We are now project partners.
Me: Is that your new trick? Well I will
have to
do what I initially don’t want to.
Uche: And what’s that?
Me: Don’t worry, the police will brief you
soonest. You are most likely going to
put our
supervisor in soup also.
Uche: Police for what? What did I do?
I’m not
the one that hit you now. Will you are
nice guy
o, don’t let anybody advice you badly.
Me: Yeah, a nice guy you wanted to
send into
a nice grave right?
Uche: Will please I did not know
anything
about it o
Temmy: (He came to us where we were
talking) Will, we have to leave here
now, those
guys are here.
Temmy was able to recognize the two
guys
that confronted me at the party among
the five
guys that were sited with the ladies.
We left
the place and Funmi did follow us down
to our
hostel without her car, saying she did
not
want to join in whatever conversation
they
were having.
I’m sure Uche would be wondering
what I
meant by police, little did she know I
only use
that to scare her a little. I really can’t
imagine
having Uche as my project partner,
that’s
tantamount to me doing the project all
alone
as she will not touch anything coupled
with
the fact she won’t let me rest with her
fantasy
intimation.
I was able to meet Rachael at her
request that
evening at a place close to their hostel I
wasn’t going to enter their room to
avoid
Janet.
Me: Temmy did call you after our
discussion
right?
Rachael: Yeah, he did but was not
speaking
the way he used to. He told me he
needed a
break before then.
Me: Don’t mind him. His head will soon
come
down
Rachael: I really pray so because I love
him so
much and I don’t blame him at all.
Me: Don’t blame yourself either, the did
is
done, solution is the main thing now.
Rachael: I owe you an apology too. I’m
sorry
you got caught in the matter. Though I
was
dating the guy before, but we were
never really
dating. He’s abusive and all he want is
s-x
and nothing more. We’ve stop talking
since
went for IT, I don’t know how he can
just come
from the blue trying to act like my
boyfriend.
Which is why I told him on Friday it’s
over
between us.
Me: Don’t worry Rachael, Temmy told
me
everything. I know that’s what’s mostly
going
to be the case. The most important
thing is I
survived it. Don’t beat yourself up okay,
Temmy is more than a friend to me,
he’s my
brother and I can tell you he loves you
more
than you think. He’ll surely come
around. You
know he doesn’t get angry like that, so
when
he does, just be cool with him, he’ll
come
down.
Rachael: Thank you Will. You are really a
good person, I wish you are my friends’
boyfriend.
Me: Talking of your friend, where is
she?
Rachael: She went out before I called
you.
Me: I want to know somethings about
her. Do
you know Uche?
Rachael: Yeah, she was Janet’s friend
from
home. And we were all roommates in
100 level
days.
Me: She told me Janet is engaged. Is
that
true?
Rachael: Hmm, you are not the first
person
Uche will reveal that to.
Me: So she’s lying
Rachael: No she’s not. Janet is engaged
and
the guy supposedly went for Uche
initially
before she rejected him.
Me: Oh I see, then why was she that
close to
me that time and why is she trying to
come
back to me now?
Rachael: My friend really love you. She
has
been wishing for you since you met.
Me: But that’s wrong, what about the
guy.
That’s cheating now.
Rachael: The guy caused it, he’s been
cheating too ans Janet is not sure of
their
relationship anylonger.
Me: Then why can’t he leave the guy?
Rachael: He love the guy.
Me: That’s ridiculous, she did not love
me.
What she had for me was a pure lust.
Though
I really had something for her then, but
I’ve
lost it now. She was the one that said
no and
I wish she’ll let me be now.
Rachael: I’m not sure she will, she kept
telling
me she love you.
Me: I would have asked her to chose
but It’s
late now.
Rachael: You never can tell. What if she
leave
the guy today?
Me: Will the guy leave her? Besides I
don’t
have anything other than friendship for
her
again. I’ll start avoiding her now.
Though I
told her I’ll talk to her but I don’t think
it’s
necessary again.
Rachael: Don’t neglect my friend o. She’s
not
a bad girl, she’s just confused.
I sighted someone from afar off that
looks like
Janet and I immediately left Rachael,
telling
her we’ll talk later.
