Chapter 6



Iziegbe

Ade held my shoulder as he turned me round, his eyes were bloodshot with anger.
I was nevertheless afraid to say the least, but it was time to act fast. Although a part of me wanted to run as fast I could, and even leave Dani behind, I smiled instead.



" I was joking na" I said sheepishly and dusted something off Ade's shoulder. I calmly brought down his arms when I was directly opposite him." You sef. You can vex for Africa "



" What kind of joke is that? He began .



He folded his arms .He became calm.


" I was just testing to see how you react to little things " I said .
Only if he knew what was actually on my mind " You are so stupid , I feel like slapping you . Idiot "

He came forward to touch me, and I stood firm and fixed . He whispered into my ear. I stayed put at the point were I was.I did that to make the onlookers who had been staring, to carry on with their businesses. They had crowded the parking lot, even security officers were present but they didn't interfere , probably thinking Ade was my uncle or something . Let's just keep it as such. Else who dared put out a word , I pity his or her life.

He said something very inaudible and not too polished , I managed to pick something up .



" I didn't get that ..."I was about to say when Dani came right out the car and pushed Ade a little backwards from his stance.


He had guts . I admired his courage . Ade , shocked and confused launched himself with his hands clenched . A punch from hell. An impulse saw me blocking it and the breeze of Ade's arm glaced my face. He nearly punched me.




" Please stop this madness" I shouted " both of you , behave matured please "

" He started it " Dani said with authority " let's get the hell out of here "


He opened the car and beckoned on me, I was not ready to go with him. I couldn't . I shook my head in disapproval , hoping it would make Ade happy.


" The lady said no"Ade blurted out " So little boy , carry your baby face and go cry to mommy "


" Geez** Izzy look what you have caused . How did you get your self into this mess? see how Ade is feeling all over himself. The thought was painful and I couldn't bear it, I just managed.



" You keep quiet " I said without thinking , then hissed " I mean , please . Please Ade ,just don't complicate issues ."

I snapped my fingers and slightly touched my chin. I asked Ade to continue with his former speech He didn't but was bent on insisting that Dani left before uttering a word .



" Is this guy for real ? Dani blurted and with a smile he swirled round " I should leave you alone with my " Girlfriend " . Mr , you are high "


" who is highing ? You took weeding this morning ? Abi your blood is mixed with candle wax? Ade replied


" Jesus ! I wa sliced up internally and asked" did you see it ?


They both replied " See what ?


Don't worry . I can't stand here with two ladies. One being immature whilst the other was a murderer of English. I left without saying the above and had both calling my name.



I waved my arms in the air and didn't look back .I took a cab and head back to my hostel. I wanted to escape from the reality that dawned on me that I was unable to decide what I wanted.



******

" Ah hah!! Whatsup bae? " Kechi asked when she stood right above my head . Her shadow casted upon the wardrobe that overlooked the bed space .



"I dont understand " I replied



Ideas started flying into her head as they transformed to words . I was waiting for her to say something.



" You just leave the sink running like fountain of life inside Umuikoro village. Water has overflowed the kitchen floor. "



I hissed . I thought it to be something important .
" leave the thing , I will mop it later. "



" Okay o " she said and looked blankly at me "Why aren't you picking your calls, you didn't even notice when I entered the room"



I had nothing to say .I had the best option which was to keep quiet. Silence was the ultimate ,as she wouldn't even provide a solution to my problem.



Kechi gave up with her pestering and slammed the bathroom door behind her. Admidst the rush of the shower her voice tore the air with horrible lullabies that she called songs .



"Arggh!!! I yelled out " Nkechi , please now. Shut up !




" Not until you tell me whats eating you "



" its nothing ,just save your song for people that are in the asylum .They will cheer you. Me ... I don't have time "

" Whatever ! Anyways " she began " I'm going for all night reading . Care to tag along?



Even if I wanted to , not with Kechi .The last time we did, she slept off even before the reading commenced .She woke up in the middle of the night and the first thing she said was" Why didnt you wake me up ? Where is my purse ? My purse o! They have stolen my purse "



" You chop dog for dream? " I asked her seeing that she was shouting and behaving abnormal " what's inside the purse anyway ?



She looked at me,she seemed like she had lost something important " Its my all in one -makeup - kit"



Idiot , I had been tapping her to wakeup but she was a terrible sleeper .Even the people in the class room noticed it. I left her to ease myself , only to return and she blamed me for her missing purse.****




" This time you'll ask me where is your underwear " I hissed " I'm not going anywhere . "



She started again with her talk . I had heard enough , I couldn't take it anymore, she could talk anyone to death. Just drop a glass of water beside her and let her seat comfortably.
I plugged in my ear buds and played Sam Smith's " Stay with me" .



Admist that , my phone rang . I left it to ring , afterwards the song continued .



" Pick your call na" Kechi said , she she stood in view , wrapped in a towel. "Hiahn!! Na u o. After you , na you . Mama the mama. I hail thee"




That was the third time it rang . The first was Ade, then Dani 's came second and Ade followed suit, as if the both took turns in dialling .



" Hello " I spoke up when the fourth call came in" Yes, how may I help you ?



" Why the sudden formality ?" Dani's voice came with authority and calmness. " Please , Bae of life I'm sorry if I did anything wrong "his voice became sweet and soft once more .



He hadn't done anything wrong actially .He was just too blind to notice I was doing everything for him. I expected him to be cool as always but he did not stick to it.



" Im not in the mood to talk , please "



" Haba!!!" kechi blurted out " mood , mood ni moody ko .Nsogbu di ( there is problem )"



I stoned Kechi a pillow and grinned . I took the phone few inches away from my ear .



"Ozuo ( Fool) " I gave her five fingers and continued with my call .




I explained a little and told Dani I was busy and had to cool off. I asked him to call back later or better let me rest for the day. I didn't want to get angry, giving the situation of our last encounter.



" But...bae ,Its not my fault .Please liste..."

" I will cut the call o " I said .


I was getting angry and his pleadings didnt make things smooth .


Kechi gave me a look ,Her eyes suddenly lit up like a lantern refilled with kerosene.



" I have to go now" I said " take care of yourself "



I asked Kechi why she looked at me like that .she didnt reply, instead she shook her head .



* Another call came in .The General himself was on the other line . It was so commanding that I had no choice this time to reluctantly pick up.


" Yes!



" I was checking upon you "Ade replied " I hope you have Calming down a little ?



Sometimes, I wondered why he never sticked to pidgin English than humiliate himself occasionally with trying to be perfect at English. Although he was a little cosistent , he lacked accuracy and somehow it was special as I thought it to be funny .



" Yes . I am . Anything ? " I asked as I tried not to laugh .



" Okay. But you left angrily , I did something and I want to know what it is . You will tell me,right ?



" I was just ..." I said as I tiptoed upon the water in the kitchen floor . The door support below ,prevented the water from circulating to other parts of the self con. " just a little annoyed " I continued while getting a glass of water." Its really nothing to be worried about"



I turned to see Kechi standing at the door. She pointed towards the floor .



* Leave the way jooor * it echoed inside me as I pushed her out of my view.


She drew my blouse and smacked my bum short .

" Mop the floor. Madam " Kechi shouted *



I bit my lips and clenched my fist in anger.



"Who is that? I can hear voices in the background" Ade asked .



"No one . Its just my neighbour's house girl ."



" Madam ?

" Yes her name is madam ." I said and looked at Kechi " One Calabar girl like that " I concluded.




" Hmm, I can imagine " Ade said " I'm going to a restaurant this evening , let me treat you out , and maybe we can continue this discussioning o'er the food and drinkinings"

"Blood of God "I blurted out .

" What is it ? Ade asked .

I told him it was nothing while covering Kechi's mouth so she didn't laugh. My phone was now on loudspeaker mode and she heard the last statement.

I thought about Ade's request .Maybe I should give it a try. I didn't want him actually thinking I was avoiding him.

" Ok . I'll meet you there " I said before hanging up and releasing Kechi's mouth .









.
Efua





I locked the door and waited for a reaction . Defintely , someone was going to reduce the tension .It was either I go out and confront them or let the matter pass and subsequently just wait for Mr incredible himself to come over to the room.

A few minutes later ,Nosa knocked and just once.He was terrible at being polite or he did it for fun, what did he even feel like? ( a superstar , indeed he was one)
I was about to open when he shocked me with an unexpected statement. It came like a screw finding its way into my subconscious mind and as a dagger with a pointy tip, caressing playfully and painfully on the foreskin of my head.



He said " Don't even think of coming out again, what I'll do to you. You obviously wont like it"



What did he mean by what he' ll do? He must be insane or something. There definitely was something going on with this guy. I thought .


" I-- " the sentence was cut short by Nosa 's bark again

"Better stay in there and don't even try to come out."




Then silence ruled the air again . He had left and I became scared to the bones not having a clue of what caused the feeling that ravaged me incredibly .

I made an attempt to open the door, yet I felt fear and had to withdraw from the attempt.




From Inside my room , I began to hear moans and screams of ecstasy. The girl whom Nosa brought back with him was on a second missionary journey as Nosa religiously blew her furnace, igniting every molecule into a flame work as would the fireworks of a night Paris.The French liked a lot fireworks , especially on festivals which made me wonder if they were brothers to the Chinese .




" Oh God " I blurted out . " Why do I feel this way ? Efua this is not you. Why are you jealous of what is not yours? What is wrong with you? Immorality !! Ah !!"
I had to shout out so loud.



I tried to open the door for the second time when a knock came like it did the first time. It caught me off guard of my thoughts. I became startled to the view that was glaring back at me in human form, those ambivalent white eyes, those blank looks that drove shivers down the spine. His calm resort that made me like him naturally. Just like I would my own brother.



" Oh ! You! Hi there " I said out playfully.


" What's up " Uyi asked " why is Nosa 's roo-"



Before he could finish his statement, I was projected to start explaining uncontrollably .

" He brought in a LovePeddler and she's turned this place into a stadium "





" what do you mean? Uyi asked with a rhetoric look .
He knew what was happening but I guessed him to be a little as confused as I was . The picture of the entire scene drove me into a state of shock.



"Am surprised though " Uyi said finally.

" Who is she cheering ? " He continued " Real Madrid or Barcelona? Even from the main entrance , I was hearing Messi yes( merciless ) , Ronaldo yes( ! Yes ! There!". Oh My!! Oh God !!



He was demonstrative in his speech. His arms glided and he reminded me of Mr Ake.
His reactions , afterwards made me almost laugh. He bit his lips, slapped his forehead then turns to Nosa 's room , he actually stopped in his tracks then returns and stared .



" What ?



" Why was your room locked ?



" Nosa threatened to chop off my head if I came out ....speaking of the devil " I jumped into my room and barred the door when Nosa's door moved.

" Efua , stop right there , what are you doing? Uyi called out, spinned his head to behold whom I was fleeing from .

Nosa's upper body was sweaty and his biceps radiated a feeling that did wonders to my stomach and entire body . I peeked from a small hole which was on the door.

"'Wait till they put broom inside your eyes... Yeye girl " My inner voice said .


The thought didn't last long though .
Uyi knocked on the door. He asked me to come outside and explain , or better still talk about the whole thing. He was serious and the light in me knew he would protect me from that monster , in human form . I had to trust him.

Scared as hell, I walked out and clutched my clothes tightly .

"What are you doing outside ? " Nosa's voice came like thunder . It roared tremendously that I thought him to be god, even for a split second .

My knee buckled .

Uyi interferred , He spoke for me and rebuked Nosa for his rude attitude. He nearly fought him and the duo argued on a variety of issues.

" This should not happen again " Uyi dropped it like a bomb "this is a male hostel not a place where females cheer up their football teams "

" Really ? Football teams ? Male hostel ? " Nosa replied . " He paced the corridor then clenched his fist , he smirked his lips , " so Efua is what ? A she-male ? Bros spare me abeg , Romance doesn't fit you. Its disgusting ."




I observed as Nosa hissed and snivelled. He pointed towards me and ravaged with anger, it showed in his eyes.


I jerked and drew back a little.


" What are you doing outside ? " Nosa asked me again " You saw my naked anatomy abi? You have seen it and you are now satisfied."



" Please stop " I said " Its not -"


" Keep quiet ,get back into your room , from now henceforth i don't want to see you when am around this house, not even your shadow. Are we clear on..."



Uyi held my arms as I impulsively gripped the door. I was shaking all the way to the bone marrow.

" Don't go anywhere " Uyi said .

" Please let me just enter my room"

" Don't go anywhere " he had me tightly , his gaze fixed upon Nosa. " Guy what's up na ? See how you 're just controlling and ordering the girl like she is your daughter or lil sis,... What's the matter.? You high?







Nosa became infuriated and he threw a slap that mistakenly landed on Uyi. It was mine and intended for my face , but I dodged into Uyi's chest . Uyi retaliated.
Nosa's sidechick whom he had done wonders to, was quick to stop Nosa from the fight. She had been standing there all along like a pile of wood.

" Rita " Nosa broke free from her grip and said " Stay out of this. And you Efua" he barked " That thing under your veil , yes there " he pointed and I gathered my skirt together " If you like use raincoat to hide the skirt " he continued " I swear I will see it, even if it means breaking into your room like a thief .Bet me "

Having said that , he slammed his door shut and left Rita begging him to open up.

" Idiot " Uyi said to her " Don't go and marry , be giving free food. Bukka 2."

He walked out too leaving the two of us.

" what are you looking at ?eh? Rita asked , her gaze piercing me.


"I pity your soul "


" I pity your soul " she mimicked me in a clown pattern and hissed " abeggi carry your useless sef out of my sight "

****

That night , I didnt sleep alone . I was afraid and I knew not what came upon me when I asked Uyi to sleep in my room . He gladly did and slept on the tiles.
He wrapped himself in his blanket and ensured the door was locked then he fell asleep.
I did too.

I woke up in the middle of the night to find my door wide open..

Oya use brain to picture and place them somewhere....


Funmi either gets reunited with her grandma: Ma Funke.. or she is left in the care of OluwaKemi Joe.



Still following ? OK!


Funmi could also be with her real dad...Richard, whom I mentioned earlier in the story but didn't include him at the end, because he ain't too important to the plot...


So you see, The possibilities are endless...

stories don't really need to end before the" whole thing ends"

Nice story creeza, your gift must surely make way for you. life is full shit, I've learnt alot from your story, Dami's desperation for love got her into palava, Gabriel's quest of "get rich" took a wrong turn. In the end, everybody was hurt.

I'm anxious to read the story.... pls do share with us...
