From page 65 to 35... This is really sad... I really feel bad for other writers whose stories were completely wiped off... Thank God for my blog else I have no idea what I'd be saying now, I have no Laptop where I could have saved the draft... *sighs* Let's all pray things get back well and this issue is entirely resolved. Hope you all are good? |

-26- *come to amphitheatre, I’ll be there in 5mins. He closed the text and picked his wallet, he had been in touch with her but had intentionally avoided bringing up the issue. He was glad she was making the move herself. “Where to?” he faced his roommate who was fanning himself with a sports newspaper, “I’ll be back soon,” Ore replied. “Obviously we know you’ll be back soon, the question is where are you off to?” Bashiru one of his coursemates who was not a legal occupant of the room but had been squatting with them ever since they moved in stated. “I’m going somewhere, make una free me now, besides I don’t have much time.” he said and made to leave the room when the door opened. Yemi, Uzor and Coded entered the room, he greeted them hastily and left the room. He did not have the luxury to sit and listen to another series of lecture of how he was acting crazy for a girl who friend zoned him. Even though he knew things were not as he would have loved. He feared what the outcome of his meeting with Dami would be, he would rather prefer that she friend zoned him instead of her admitting to be gay. “Wetin dey do am?” he overheard Coded asking his roommates. He did not hear the reply provided but he heard their laughter. Obviously they had resorted to making mockery of him, what else did he expect from them? —————- Sitting in his apartment all day was tiring, he saw a handbill someone had given to him the previous day on the table. He picked it and read it again, attending the relationship seminar was not a bad idea, was it? First it had been Bimpe, the girl who had made him appear like a weakling and then when he had summoned courage to move on by approaching Sandra, he had failed again since she was taken. He thought about Princess, personally he saw nothing wrong with dating a girl from another tribe. He just did not understand why people still took inter-tribal marriages as a big deal, but the fear of being rejected was the stumbling block on his way. He took the handbill and walked out of his flat, after ascending the stairs he realised he did not know his neighbours flat. The two different doors confused him, what if he knocked on a particular door and somebody else replied him? He decided to knock the door by his right, after knocking for about three consecutive times without getting any response. He turned towards the other door and knocked, he raised his hands to knock the second time when he saw the door bell. He pressed it and almost rather quickly the door opened revealing Chuks with a sleepy look on his face. He sighed, happy that the occupants of the previous flat were not around or had chosen not to answer him. “Sorry Chuks, seems I woke you up.” he smiled at Chuks. Chuks shook his head and opened the door giving him the chance to come inside. “So you’re apologising but you’re smiling at the same time.” he laughed while pointing at the spot where Femi would keep his footwear, “na wa oh, but you didn’t wake me up. I was awake already.” he concluded. “I was smiling because I knocked on the other door outside.” Femi replied while following Chuks lead. “Oh, the people who stay there are not around. In fact they are not really based in Nigeria, the man and his wife just use that flat when they come to Nigeria which is once in a blue moon.” Chuks explained. Femi sat on the couch and admired the sitting room, he smiled at Chuks who simply nodded obviously getting his message. “So this one you came here today?” Chuks asked while leaving the sitting room. “I wanted to invite you and your sister for a programme.” Femi replied. “Your church?” “No, someone gave me this flier yesterday and I just felt like going. Its not a church stuff anyway, its a seminar on relationships.” Princess walked in at that point wearing knee-length shorts and a sweat shirt. “Relationship seminar?” she questioned while sitting and waving at Femi. “Yes, lets all go now.” Femi suggested. “I’m not going jawe, got no business with relationships.” Chuks who had returned to the room replied. “I’m not going too,” Princess chipped in. “Haba now! So you both are going to stay indoors all day, oya lets go see a movie.” Femi pressed on, he was really bored and needed a break. “That’s not bad.” Princess spoke with enthusiasm. “Because you have the money?” Chuks reprimanded, “thanks Femi but we are good.” “You guys chill, the bill is on me. Lets just go out.” “No, don’t bother” Princess replied quickly, she did not want a guy feeling fly simply because he payed for her movie tickets. “See this one. Thanks Femi, make I dress, we’ll go together.” Chuks stuck his tongue at Princess. Princess who was not finding it funny wore a frown, she was bored and wanted to go out too. But would it be wise accepting the silent signals she thought she was getting from Femi? Or was she imagining things? She dried her tears with the handkerchief he had given her, ever since she started explaining everything to him, the tears had refused to stop flowing. She looked at Ore and suddenly wish he would say something to her. Anything at all, he had not spoken a word since she began to narrate her ordeal, no word of encouragement, chastisement, nothing. To make matters worse, his expression was blank. She could not even fathom what was going through his mind. The only form of communication she had gotten from him was the handkerchief he had given her to wipe her face. “Please say something now.” she pleaded, it would be better if he said harsh things to her rather than him keeping quiet and acting like she had not just narrated all she had been through in the past couple of days and most of her teenage life. She stood and walked away from him, he probably thought bad of her already. She had no idea where she was going to but she just felt that urge to walk away from him. Looking into his expressionless face without having a clue as to what he thought about her was killing. Although she felt a whole lot better that she had been able to talk to him about it. She was almost approaching the sports centre, she tried to resist the temptation of turning back to see him possibly running after her, telling her everything would be alright. She gave herself a mental slap, they were not dating so why would he bother running after her? And she was the one who chose to walk away, not like he chased her. She secretly prayed he was following her behind. She felt a thump in her head, Oh no! Not again, why would her head decide to start again? She placed her left hand on her head and felt her knees going weak, the people and cars in front of her suddenly had duplicates. The pain she felt in her head increased again, this time it was as if someone was using a hammer to hit her head and someone else was pricking it with a sharp nail. She screamed out loud and the last she remembered was her being enveloped by masculine arms. If the owner of these arms was who she thought it to be, she really would not mind fainting multiple times just so he would not let her be alone. She realised she had a best friend all along but had been too silly to realise it. “Thank you,” the words she said in her subconscious, sadly he could not hear her. —————– She stood and paced around her room, she just did not understand what was going on. Who was the lady that picked? And why did she ask her who Fola was. She had expected to speak to Fola but had been shocked when the lady picked the call. Apparently she had Fola’s phone with her. Her phone had then tripped from her hands and the call had automatically ended. Picking the parts that were scattered around, her mind had gone through different journeys thinking about the days she had spent with Fola. She in Fola’s arms, cuddling next to him, telling him how her day went and discussing important to less important matters. That was when it occured to her that she did more of the talking, she knew little about his family, the only family member she knew about was his sick mother. A woman she had never even met in person. She thought of the distressing phone call, minutes before she spoke to the lady that picked the call, she had been excited that Fola’s phone was ringing. But now her joy had been cut short by the worries that were forming a queue in her troubled heart. Things just did not seem right, how could someone else pick his call? If it were a family member, the person ought to know Fola’s name, right? She tried to convince herself. Did he misplace his phone? How would she even find out what the problem was? It was not as if she had the contact of any of his family members, so there was no way she could know exactly what the problem was. She had made up her mind to call him back after re- assembling her phone but had stopped when she remembered the soap opera she had seen the day before. Could it be that Fola was cheating on her? Who was the woman that picked the call when she called? If it was a family person, she was not suppose to ask her who Fola was? It probably meant that Fola was not really what she thought he was, she had slept off in a bid to think things through and now that she was awake, she suddenly discovered she was scared to call Fola again and know what the problem really was. What if she discovered something that she did not want to know? She shrieked as the thought of heartbreak came knocking on the delicate door of her heart. She stopped in her tracks as she nearly bumped into someone. “Uhn?” she looked up in surprise at the unexpected visitor. How come she did not realise she had a visitor all along? She wondered how long the person had spent in watching and analysing her. And how on earth could he be in the same room with her? It seemed the day sure had a lot of surprises in stock for her. 1 Like |

I'm trying to transfer the lost data while merging the chapters, for instance that's chapter 26 in one part and not two parts like it was. But to be frank, I'm tired, copying and pasting while eventually taking time to space on my phone is taking time and I have an exam tomorrow. Not trying to make excuses, but I promise that this thread will come back to life like it was... Just give time, thanks y'all... 2 Likes |
