I succeeded in shutting Jenny up till Shania left on
Wednesday. She was very happy meeting my
people after they made her promise that she will
come again. My mum gave her some money before
she left for work that morning.

The distance from my house to the airport is like a
two hours’ drive. So we left early since her flight
was twelve. We got to the airport by 11:00 and had
to wait till around 11:45 when they called over the
radio for their boarding.

I noticed her continuous staring at me while I drove
her to the airport that at some point, she will be
lost as to what we were discussing.
When they called for their boarding the second time,
she stood up and we hugged. After we hugged, she
picked her bag and headed towards the departure.

After taking some steps, she turned and came back
to me. I thought maybe she forgot something but
when she got to me, she kissed me not minding the
people around us. Breaking off the kiss, she said
“Purity, I love you” and left. I stood there for a while
before leaving for the car pack since I still have a
two hours’ drive home. I hope another drama is not
about to start in my life again.

I came back a little late because I met a heavy
traffic on the road. I already dialled Precious to tell
her that I will be running a little late. It was then
she told me that her final exam which was
supposed to be held that day was shifted to the
next two days being Friday.
I met my three tormentors at home all in the sitting
room gisting. Immediately I entered, they stopped
their gist and started hailing me. Just then I knew
that Jenny has done it. And I also understood that
for the next couple of days, I won’t hear a word
except their taunting and teasing, that’s how
tormenting they can be.

We were still gisting, with Jenny narrating how
Shania was shouting when my mum came in, after
the greetings and welcome backs, she told us that
she was going to see her husband the following
day. We asked if everything was ok with him and
she replied in affirmation, that she just misses him.
All of us made jest of my mum before she left to
her room.

After dinner, I wanted to stay down a little but those
tormentors wouldn’t allow me, so I decided to retire
to my room. I called Shania when I got to my room
to ask after her journey and people. We talked for a
while and said our goodnights.

I was planning on going back to school to spend
time with Precious. I didn’t want to bring her home
since Shania has registered her presence before my
mum. In as much as I know that it wasn’t going to
be a big deal to my mum, I see it as an
irresponsible act flaunting girls before her. I
decided on bringing her home when my mum
announced she was going to visit my dad.

After Precious told me about her feelings towards
me, we have been trying to connect emotionally. I
started putting more effort to calling her, checking
up on her during the day and some goodnight calls
and messages too. But even at that, I still didn’t
feel anything but just like someone advised me
‘give it a trial’.

Friday came and I went to pick Precious. I didn’t
tell my sisters about her coming, wanted to hit
them with another surprise. I had also wanted to
tell Shania about Precious coming over, but after the
airport incident, I decided against it. I realized that
telling her about Precious’ visit would create images
in her head.

We came back and met my sisters at home. After
the greetings and introductions, I left Precious with
them and went upstairs. When I came back down, I
met them discussing the soap opera that was aired.
Jenny already took Precious’ bag to her room and
Precious was already feeling relaxed amongst them.

In the middle of our chat Shania called. I thanked
God and left them and went up to my room. We
talked at length about nothing in particular. I don’t
know but it seemed like both of us were avoiding or
waiting for who will bring up the airport incident
first. When we were about to end the call, she said
it again ‘Purity, I love you’.

After the call, I sat back to think about me and
Shania. Love is one thing I never talked about with
Shania. Why and where is this one coming from
now? I hope this is not going to come and spoil
things for us or add to the already complicated
things in my life.

Checking my chats after the call, Precious said she
will discuss something with me later, while Jenny
told me she would tell Shania if I don’t grease her
palms amongst other things. That girl is actually
upping her game in extortion.

“Shania, who is she?”
“She is a friend, why?”
“Nothing. Do I know her?”
“No, I don’t think so. Why do you ask?”
“Has she been here?”
I couldn’t understand why she was asking after
