I left Shania’s house by 7:30pm and took a cab which
dropped me in front of Cindy’s hostel. I needed us to
talk. I dialled her number but the line was busy. After
waiting for a while, I re-dialled but after the first
ringing, it was again busied on the second.

After a little while the door opened and behold the least

“You gats be kidding me. What are you doing here?”
I was surprised and dumbfounded. How do I explain
this? I didn’t know what to say rather than to admire
the beauty standing before me. How people change

I braced myself for any other surprise to come as I
walked into the room. She was saying something which
my mind wasn’t interested in. I surveyed the room
when I entered but there was no sign of Cindy
anywhere. Am I in the wrong room or what?

She served me biscuit and some juice. While I ate, we
talked and did the whole catching up thing and other
talks. We intentionally or unintentionally avoided our
last romp. As we were talking her phone rang. From the
way she talked and how long the call lasted, I knew the
caller must be her boyfriend.

“Come on Oge, thought we were over that?”
“Yea we are, but……. Don’t worry.”
“But what? Tell me”
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious”
“Oge come on, can’t believe you are still carrying first
year grievances. What happened then should be
forgotten and moreover I’m to be blamed for
everything. I’m the person that left, it’s all my fault.
That she came into the picture doesn’t mean that she
was the reason why I left.”

After we said the good nights, I left for my house while
Oge went back to her hostel. I didn’t know what to
think. Here, I was thinking that I was the person that
left Oge not knowing that reverse was the case. I felt
very down. I was so much in thought till I got home.
After I had my bath that night, I relaxed on my bed to
think things through.

I met Oge almost two weeks into our first year. We met
at our faculty officer’s office. We both came for
clearance. We got talking, one thing led to another and
we started dating.

After I met Precious during the second semester of our
first year things started changing. At first Oge didn’t
have any complaints but along the line she started
withdrawing from me. Anytime I’m with Precious she
wouldn’t want to come around. It got to a point that it
became a big issue to us. At a point she stopped taking
my calls. I couldn’t understand her behaviors. When I
couldn’t take it with her behaviors anymore, I asked for
us to quit.

The surprising thing to me was that she didn’t even
fight it. She accepted it whole heartedly.

The twist of everything was that after we broke up, we
never acted it. She didn’t give me attitude rather we
started being close again. It was after we broke up that
we even had our first S£x, which was almost in our first
year ending. But after that, Precious took over from
second year.

But the girl I thought I broke up with today of all days
told me that she was the person that broke up with me.
What a crash to what I believed all these while. Does it
mean she saw someone better than I am and started
acting up? But if that was the case, why did we
suddenly become closer after the break up and even
had our first S£x?

After so much thought, I concluded that there is more
to what happened between me and Oge and that I must
find out.
