After thinking for several minutes, I decided to
go with segun’s
third plan.
I faced the mirror before I slept and tried
doing some rehearsals on
how I would talk to kemi. I woke up very early the second day
which was saturday. I prepared little
breakfast, did a little exercise
until 8am when I decided to place a call to
kemi.
Suddenly, I began
to fear. I don’t know where the fear came from, I just observed that
I couldn’t gather the courage to lie to kemi.
Then I decided to call segun and inform him
about my
predicament. He suggested that I should come
over to his place. “Who knows?, kemi might decide to find me
to my house since she
already knew the place”. I agreed with segun, I
dressed up and
went to meet him at home.
On getting to segun’s house. We had few gist, then he gave me
some courage, cheers and some scripts to
make the call.
ME: hello baby,
KEMI: hi love
ME: I’m on my way to work
KEMI: ok dear, what time should I come to
meet you at work?
ME: hmmmm. Let me get to work first and
see the situation of
things, then I will call you
KEMI: no problem. Better still, text the address of your workplace
to me incase your number becomes unavailable.
ME: ***oloshi**** ok dear, I will text it to you
when I dropped from
the cab
KEMI: ok dear. Thanks for yesterday
ME: what did I do yesterday?
KEMI: the airtime you gave me.
ME: ***i thought as much, kemi would never
appreciate it if it were
to be 100 or 200naira denomination***, you are
welcome dear.
KEMI: ***laughs**, you know our elders says if
you appreciate
what you were given yesterday, you would get
another one today.
ME: ****laughed***, you are funny
KEMI: so I’m expecting what the elders said we should be
expecting
ME: I hear. Talk to you later
KEMI: ok dear, bye
ME: bye dear ***hanged up***
Segun and I laughed out loud and started talking about kemi.
Segun said she is very smart and would earn
more magas with her
brain. We stopped gisting after a while then
we switched to
segun’s laptop, he brought out his game pads and we played
winning eleven. We were so carried away with
the game that we
forgot about kemi.
At 12pm, my phone began to ring, I looked at
the screen and it was kemi. It was then that I remembered about
her. I was scared to
pick up because I don’t have the nerves to
fabricate lies to her.
My
badman event planner geared me up again and
did a fast mini rehearsals with me for the last time.
After 4
missed calls, I called
kemi back myself.
ME: hi love, I saw your missed calls
KEMI: why aren’t you picking up?
ME: I was with my boss when you called. And you know it would
be embarrassing if I should pick calls in his
presence.
KEMI: ok dear, should I start coming
ME: eeeeeerrmmm
SEGE: *****throwing up his hands as a sign telling to speak
up*****
ME: eeeerm kemi, my boss wanted me to
follow him to inspect a
project, that was why he told me to come
today.
KEMI: ok, let me come before you guys leave
for the project.
ME: we are already on our way to his car,
infact, his car is about 6
feet from here.
KEMI: so what will happen now?
ME: we won’t stay long. I’m sure we can
exceed an hour. When
I’m coming back, I will call you.
KEMI: ok dear. I love you so much
ME: I love you too. Bye ***hanged up***.
After the call, I dropped my phone and looked at segun.
SEGE: *****shake hands with me*****, that’s
my boy,
ME: hmmmmmm, I hope it works sha
SEGE: mr maga leave story. If you aren’t too
smart for these girls, they would send you back to the village when
they are through
with you.
ME: hmmmmmmm, let’s continue our winning
eleven and let me
beat you one more time.
SEGE: oloshi, na only that one you sabi
