Anticipating

(Two years later)

“Thank God, I'm now a graduate. Dayo must be so proud of me. I need to call him so we can start talking.” I said happily.

**picks up the phone to call dayo***

“I'll try it later, Dayo must be proud of me.” I said smiling.

For two months, the number was unreachable. I started feeling worried.

Months passed by. I decided to reach out to the headmaster that stays in Dayo's former lodge by unblocking him on Facebook.

“I am disappointed in you”.
“Despite how Dayo loves you, academics you claim made you push him away”.
“It's unfair”.
“Dayo is currently under medication”.
“God will judge you”.
“I know you are young but you should have sought advice”.
“Good men are Rare”.
“You blocked everyone from communicating with you”.
“It's unfair!”
“You pushed a good man away!”

Bye!!!

“I replied, please can we talk?”
“I'm trying to reach him, but his line is not reachable?”

***Logs out***

The following day, Dayo replied on Facebook messenger.

“You pushed me away”
“You made me depressed”
“You made me a prisoner for years”
“You deprived me of our sweet love”
“You vacate me from your heart all because of academics”.
“You made me a friend to a hospital!”
“I became a drunkard until my parents”......
“The pressure was too much”
“You deprived me of communicating with you?”
“Good, now you are fine right?”
“You've graduated?”
Congratulations!!!!

“I got married to someone you pushed me to!”
“I got married to someone that came in my low state”
“She saw me battling depression.”
“She had to save me”
“I battled with insomnia”
“I couldn't sleep”
“I was relieved of my job due to poor productivity”
“I was granted bed rest”
“I lost focus”

“Opeyemi, You pushed me”
“You sent me away, TILL MY OLD AGE, I'll keep saying you Pushed me Away”

“Thank you for all you do”
“I wish you success Life has to offer”

“Congratulations but always remember You pushed me away and I will never forgive you!!!!”

“Good day Opeyemi”

Dayo got married!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa......m..”(Sweetness Sobbing Loudly.)”

I got home sobbing, my eyes are swollen already, I don't know how to face Dayo. I have blocked him on Facebook. Ignored his calls for a week. (talking aloud sobbing while rolling on the bed)

I'll unblock him now, to drop his messages. I don't think I can face him or talk to him via phone. I won't be able to express myself! I am too emotional. “God, why me?” Always crying! (continues to talk aloud)

I picked up the phone, log onto Facebook to unblock him after many days. I met 50 Unread messages from Dayo.

“My sweetness, please unblock me”
“My sweetness, please hear me out”.
“I am not trying to deprive you of your education”.
“I promise to sponsor you to any level you want”.
“My baby, please don't ignore me”
“I'm incomplete without you”
“Please hear me out”
“Opeyemi my own(in the Yoruba language)”
“It's been a week without hearing from you, I can barely sleep”
“My soul longs for you”
“Are you sure you are okay?”
“I'm scared, please reply to me”
“You've turned me into a drunkard, I now feed on drinks”
“This is unfair if anything happens to me. Then you caused it”
“You pushed me away”
“I am not asking for more”
“You are a blessing to me”
“Don't push me away”
“Marriage doesn't stop academics”
“My sweetness, have mercy on me”
“I'm currently in hospital, let me see you once again please”

The messages I read from Dayo broke me down. I cried reading it. I couldn't read for exams the same day.

***My response to his messages.***

“Hi Dayo, you have been a blessing to me. I appreciate but academics come first. I'm sorry for blocking you. It's not my fault! I need to concentrate on my life. I'll block you now and unblock you on my final paper. Then we can talk about marriage. Bye for now, I love you.”

***Blocks Dayo Again.***

“God, I now feed on tears.”
“I now cry daily.”
“It's been weeks without Dayo. How will he feel?”
“How?”
“Please don't make him depressed.”
“Keep him for me till I graduate”.
“I will come for him”.
“For now, I can't do two things at the same time. Exams are fast approaching. I wish myself success in life”.

***picks up the phone to call shade**

“Hi Shade, will you be in school today? I inquired

“Yes, I'm in school, meet me in the cafeteria” she replied..

“I'll join you right away.”

“Let me quickly meet Shade in the cafeteria.” She is older than me. I'm sure she will be able to advise me well on what to do. (talking to myself while walking towards sade direction)

“Shade! How are you?” I asked.

“I'm good dear, hope you are preparing for exams? It's fast approaching”. She replied

“Yes, I am.”

“Shade, I am not fine. My boyfriend wants marriage. His parents are ready for marriage this year but I dare not tell my parents, especially my father. You know he is a spiritual man? I'm scared of losing Dayo. He has tried for me. We've come a long way. What do you think I should do? Mind you, I have been ignoring his calls since last week because I don't know what to say to him. Please advise me, you are more mature than I am.” I said unhappily, my voice was fainting already.

“Elizabeth my friend, I won't lie to you. There is time for everything. Exams are fast approaching, and you are thinking of a man! How sure are you that he is not cheating on you? Oh! Do you feel because he showers a lot on you he won't cheat? Men are not to be trusted.” Shade said.

“For now, your academics come first, your Cgpa needs to be strong. I know you to be a strong girl, moreover even if you leave Dayo today. We have a lot of guys crushing on you in the department. You can always choose one anytime, any day. Don't allow any man to use marriage to tie you down! I'm twenty-five, you are twenty-one. Open your eyes very well too. Allow Dayo to go through it's painful but let go.” Shade said further.

While she was talking, I was sobbing so loud, we had to leave the cafeteria before students noticed.

“Shade, thanks for the advice. I think I will heed to it even though it's painful.” I said

“Today is a bad day!!! God, I have no choice. Sade has advised me already, I wonder how Dayo will feel now! He will be crying daily. For the past one week, we've not communicated. I'm looking pale all because of a man.”

See! I have made up my mind. Academics come first. I'll call Dayo when I get home. (soliloquizing on the road)

“Okada! Okada! (sweetness trying to fly a bike home) Yes, I'm heading to Silver street. How much is it?” I asked.

“Hundred Nairas only.” He replied.

I hopped on the bike, we headed to my place...

****Two minutes after****

“Okada!!! Kindly drop me here. Have your money, thank you.”

CHAPTER

FINAL

“Good morning my sweetness, how was your night's rest? Hope you slept well? Dayo said over the phone, his voice tone. Seems he just woke up from sleep”

“My baby, I'm fine and doing good. I enjoyed our conversation yesterday. I love you so much” my reply to Dayo on call.

(Dayo continues talking)

“So I will love you to come to Lagos. I have explained to my parents, and they volunteer to meet with your parents and talk it out since we claim to be in love. You know I love you and I can't afford to lose you to anyone.”

“My sweetness, I love you but it seems you are doubting me. I am just twenty-one years old, how do you expect me to tell my parents about marriage at this age. Please understand me, my father is a strict man. I wouldn't want him to handle me tough. I'll suggest you go for someone else that is ready. I am ready for you but my parents will never accept such, please understand.”

“Haaaaa.....mmm… You can't do this to me. My parents are prepared for my wedding. I'm the first child, thirty-four years old. Please don't do this” Dayo said sobbing

***hangs the call***** (Sweetness sobbing)

“God I am on a crossed road, Dayo has been my joy, happiness, my helper. He is ready for marriage now. I'm still in school, I dare not tell my parents that I have a boyfriend and talk more about wanting to get married soon. What should I do? Dayo has tried for me. Four years of no intimacy. The same way he met me, untouched! What manner of man? Please God, can you hear me? Answer me please?”

Who can I send to talk to my father? He is a disciplinarian, I dare not talk about marriage at this age

I'm scared!
I'm scared!!
I'm scared!!!
I'm scared!!!!

“If I lose Dayo now, will I ever find someone else like him? Will I?”
“He is too perfect for me! Lord hear me!!!”

***Phone beeps ****

“My sweetness, inform your parents of our introduction next week; before then, I must have gone to see your parents for a list,” Dayo said

“No! What sort of introduction, who gets married as a student? Allow me to finish my education”. I tackled back.

“Well, I have said mine, I wouldn't allow Ibadan guys take away my sweetness from me” Dayo chipped in.

(continues talking)

“Baby, Do you know you are gorgeous?”
“You are the most beautiful woman in the world”.
“You are my perfection”
“You are my sweetness”
“My best part”
“My wife-to-be”

“Dayo wouldn't stop making me blush, I was smiling all through the conversation the same way you are smiling now.”

The gist continues till we both dozed off(what do you want to hear dear readers? Yes, you!!!!!!!

****To be continued(in jenifa’s voice)****

My Dear Dayo!!! Wherever You Are, Always Remember That I Missed You.

The following day, I woke up ready for the journey. We arrived in Ibadan at 9am. I got to my lodge and was entertained by the indigene around. It was fun.

“Aunty Opeyemi is back ooo, everybody come outside. She is looking big. Aunty Ope went home to finish her parent’s food. This is too much, don't you want to resume back to school?” (in the Yoruba language) A neighbor of mine decided to create awareness�

“Ope! Opeyemi!! Opeyemi, come and greet me. It's unjust, you went off like that.” One of the indigenes said (in Yoruba language).

My room was filled up with indigenes that came over to greet me. I had to give out some of the things I brought. It was fun seeing them in good health.

The Hausa indigenes brought chilled zobo and biscuit for me as a welcome back gift. I smiled.

***phone rings***

“My sweetness, how are you?” You didn't bother to check up on your baby? It's unfair.” Dayo said, grumbling.

“I'm sorry my son (I address him as my son whenever I'm at fault) Your mummy is always rooting for you. Kindly allow me to call you back, I'm trying to fix up some things.'' I said, he hangs up…

**Picks up phone to call my roomie***

“Hello big head, your sister is back!!!”

My roommate exclaimed on the phone. “Opeyemi is back!!!!!!!” She said. I could hear her voice telling mum she is leaving for school the following day.

****Nightfalls***** Another night without Dayo(sobbing)

“Dayo, if there is any charm you did to me that wouldn't let me concentrate on my life and academics, I bind it in Jesus' name. This is unfair, why I'm I always thinking about you? Every time Dayo, Dayo. I can't do anything without him” (soliloquizing) “The best decision is to block him. My academics comes first” (talking to myself).
