I got home very happy. I went straight to the bathroom to shower. Got
on my bed, picked my phone and I saw that Bidemi has sent me a text.
The text read “I wish what happened today could happen every other
day. Just want to check if you are home. Missing you already. Bidemi
loves you. Hmwammm!”
My mind skips after reading the text: I know that I love her but with
those two military men around (the love no go grow). I dialled her
number and she picks….
Bidemi: Hello
Me: hello
Bidemi: it’s now that you have my time abi?
Me: no oooo! I had to take my bath and attend to some family chores
Bidemi: family chores that’s more important than me.
Me: it’s not like that (mum calls from distance “femi” )….
maaaaaa…. mummy is calling me. will call you later in the day.
better still, let’s do night call
Bidemi: (giggling) okay… village boy…. maaaaaa
Me: you are not serious… later jo. love you
Bidemi: love you too (hangs off).
Rushed out to meet my mum. She said that she has already collected GCE
form for me, that I should go to the cafe with my elder brother to
fill it. I was happy and rushed towards her and hug her… thank you
mummy. It’s okay, just start reading your books. Ese gan ma. Peck her
on her cheek and left.
It’s 10pm now.. I dialled Bidemi’s number but she did not pick. Maybe
she went to bed early because of our proposed night call.
I’m now alone thinking of what might happen if our families got to
know about it. Lost in thought… I don’t know when I dozed off, only
for me to wake up around 5:45am with 22 missed calls on my phone. That
was when I remembered that my phone was on silent. Yeepa! This girl go
kill me today oooo. I Flashed her just for me to know if she’s
sleeping or not. She called me back immediately :
Me: Hello
Bidemi: you try oooo… I have been up all night because of you. Look
at the time now. Is this suppose to be your midnight call?
Me: I’m sorry…. my phone was on silent because I’m not used to night calling
Bidemi: na me con dey do night call abi?
Me: it’s not what I meant…. I’m sorry
Bidemi: it’s okay… at least you called. I can go to bed now.
Me : I will make it up to you… bye
Bidemi: bye dear (hangs off)
I slept back and woke up around 8:30am. My kid sister has done all the
domestic work. I went to the bathroom for my early morning drills.
Collected my the scratch card from my mum, dashed to Bidemi’s house
for the makeup promised. I had planned of taking Bidemi out (to where
I don’t know yet). I wore one of my best shirts, a jean and a nice
step on. If there’s anything I’m proud of, it’s my style of dressing.
I knocked at the Adeboye’s gate.
Abdul: na who be that
Me: na me Abdul, good morning…. is Bidemi in?
Abdul: Mawning ooo, she dey.. (opens the gate while I entered)
On my way in, I met Kikelomo and we exchanged greetings. She
complemented my dressing and she asked if I have any plans for the day
or appointment with Bidemi (I can’t tell her that Bidemi & I have a
date). I replied no.
Kikelomo: good, since you don’t have any appointment with Bidemi, why
don’t you act up as my boyfriend to a friends party.
Me: I…… I …… I have to fill my GCE Form (which kin wahala be this sef)
Kikelomo: hush… but don’t worry. we will come back early, besides
you can fill it tomorrow.
Me: Okay.. is Bidemi coming with us?
Kikelomo: no…. it is strictly for couples and I don’t think she has
someone that she would come with
Me: Okay no wahala (I know say wahala Dey ooo) …. when are we leaving?
Kikelomo: next 30 minutes…. let me rush to dress up
Me: Okay, let me use the opportunity to say hello to Bidemi.
Kikelomo: Okay, but be fast about it (rushing to her room)
I knocked on Bidemi’s door and she said “enter jo” you wey I don dey
hear your voice since.
Me: Good Morning Dear
Bidemi: .Morning love. As cute as ever. Fine boy! Are you going to a party?
Me: No… I mean yes
Bidemi: what do you mean by no and yes? What is it?
Me: I’m going to a party with your sister. She just invited me about
10 minutes ago.
Bidemi: I see…. can I come?
Me: No because she said you can’t come (don’t want to tell her that
it’s a couples party)
Bidemi: Okay (looks sad). .. so you had already planned this party
since yesterday. You prepared all dressed up for a party and you now
lied that she invited you today.
Me: (dint want to tell her about our date) it’s not what you think. I
really want to stay with you but if I choose to stay back, it would
bring her to be suspicious of us.
Bidemi: and so what…. I saw the way you were looking at her
yesterday (now tears rolling down her cheek). I know that……
Me: (cuts her off) stop it. It’s your sister we are talking about
here. What do you take me for? (angry mood activated). A random
player. I’m going to the party weather you like it or not. (stormed
out of her room).
Bidemi: (now crying) that’s what you guys are good at…. running away.
I went and sat down at the living room, waiting for Kikelomo. It seems
like ages but she eventually came out. She puts on nice dress that
compliment her beautiful face. I told her that she’s beautiful and her
boyfriend will be very happy to have her. She’s now blushing… thanks
dear.
I looked towards Bidemi’s room and I found her staring at us ( eyes
swollen). Kikelomo went closer to her.
Kikelomo: what is wrong with you Bidemi? Why are you crying?
Bidemi: (lied) I dint sleep all through the night because I have a
running stomach.
Kikelomo: and you dint deem to tell me…. I’m around now you know
Bidemi: sorry but I’m fine now.
Kikelomo: Okay…. hope Femi told you that we are going for a party?
Bidemi: (looks me with bad eye) yes he did
Kikelomo: good… we are running late. see you later my dear. Bye
Bidemi: bye
Me: bye… (she dint even answer me)
We got a cab and off we go to the party.
