Chapter 45

Goodbye My Love (I)

As Badoh walked towards the small back gate, Baroni looked at the carpenter and nodded at him. The carpenter understood and followed him with his bare chest exposed as usual.
"You dey craze?" Daniel yelled at Mezie with fire blazing from his eyes.
"Abeg na, reduce your voice!!" Mezie begged the two boys holding him to ransom. The devil pushing him had encouraged him to step on Danny's toes, now Danny wants his feet as payback.
Badoh peeped from the small gate ensuring that the area was safe before making himself visible to them in company of the carpenter. Daniel's second sent a slap to Mezie's face, it covered his face blurring his vision temporarily. The slap was what forced Badoh out as he got close, though keeping a safe distance from the fracas.
"Omo, you don commit again?" The Carpenter asked smiling as soon as they got close enough.
The battleaxe wielding guy was asked to stand down by his partner as he reasoned with Badoh. Mezie was kneeling by the fence as they spoke to his hearing. Turned out he wooed Danny's girlfriend but she rejected his proposal, this led to him threatening the girl. He boasted to the girl that he was a cultist, he even took it a step further by threatening to kill the girl's bf whom he had never met until tonight.that was why Dan lured him out using a random girl.
Badoh tried to beg on behalf of Mezie, but Dan refused to listen. He was angry that a nonentity would boast to harm him because of a girl, he said he intentionally did not inform his club members about Mezie's antecedents else he would be in their shrine with at least 4 broken ribs.
"My guy, why the delay? Allow me give this man short sleeve na, I no dey see anybody o!" The second guy yelled as he raised the axe up waiting for approval.
"Hey! Calm down there. Just die it." Badoh said to him. He turned to Dan, he asked him what he would gain. He pointed out the fact that hurting Mezie will not add anything to his reputation because Mezie is not a strong man. He pointed at Mezie, "Look am na, this one be like who go cluster you ever again? You never break e bone yet he dey broken already," Badoh said.
Daniel wasn't too happy with not properly dealing with Mezie, but the truth is Mezie will not add to his reputation because as far as this school is concerned, Mezie was a nobody. He didn't have to do anything to him, obviously Mezie got the message loud and very clear. Besides if he keeps looking for trouble he will eventually find it soon. That did not mean Mezie will leave for free.
After a brief negotiation, Badoh removed N1,500 from his pocket and handed it over to Daniel and co, they shook hands and said their goodbyes leaving Mezie in their care. Badoh stared at Mezie, he was angry about having to pay to rescue the grumpy guy, he turned and left Mezie there.
"If you like go the next compound go carry another wahala come here, na me go personally cure your f*ck up. Bascard!" The carpenter said and left him alone. Mezie tried to give them thanks but nobody was willing to receive it.

Badoh woke up with a throbbing headache, he could hardly open his eyes as the bright daylight penetrated his eyes into his head. He wondered how come his curtains were spread apart as he stretched in bed.
"Good morning boo," Oke said, her voice empowered his headache.
"What!" A shocked Badoh said. He didn't notice her. How come this girl knows his room? How did she enter? Did he even lock his door? He wondered.
"What are you doing here?" Badoh finally asked gathering his blanket to himself in an attempt to hide his morning erection.
"If I no greet na una go say I no get red skirt (respect)." She said throwing her face away. For a brief moment it seemed to Badoh she was without smile.
"Sorry, good morning, Oke," he said finally sitting up and resting his back on the wall. As soon as he greeted her the room brightened further with her smile. Badoh caught himself smiling and tried to control it.
"How was your night?" She asked him keeping the smile which never left her face.
"Fine, just the headache." He said.
"I know." She said. She took sachet water from the bag, opened and poured it into the cup with spoon in front of her. She stirred the contents with the spoon before handing it over to him. "We all had a lot to drink last night. After the fun comes the hangover." She added.
After initially looking at her strangely like all her actions were some kind of magical performance, he collected the cup and saw it was garri mixed with milk and cocoa. He wanted to complain, or protest, but looking at the creamy garri suddenly made him realise that he was very hungry. "Damn! This girl don catch me for six - one," he thought as he began to dig into the cup with the spoon. She sat there just smiling.
The garri was not much, but it was delicious.. He wanted more but instead she handed him 2 tablets of boska as well as the (pure) water. It was like he was under her spell as he collected the medicine and water. He wanted to ask her what drugs this was but instead he simply threw the tablets in his mouth and swallowed with water.
"I'm going back to Warri this morning," she said as he choked on water and started coughing.
"What?" Badoh finally said.
