Episode 18
“Come on you know he is not like that. He is my
friend and I know him better. Sometimes when we
guys are drunk, we tend to misbehave but that
doesn’t excuse his action. He is a good guy and
you know that. Don’t judge him because of one
single mistake which he made unconsciously
please, I won’t be happy if you guys just end things
like this. You guys look very cool and cute together,
why end something so good because of one little
mistake? You know it’s not fair.”
“Purity we have not talked for like two days now.
Yesterday I saw him with one girl so I guess he is
not interested any more so let’s just leave it like
that.” She said nonchalantly.

“The girl you saw her with is one of our friends,
they don’t have anything together. They were coming
to meet me that yesterday in Mami. Look I’m going
to scold him. He will come back to plead, please
don’t turn him down again ok. If you do, you and I
will start our own round of quarrel.”

“Ah! Ah! Na, we no fit quarrel you know that. You
be my own person.” She said laughing.
We talked for some minutes before she left while I
went to my hostel. I showered and slept off. I was
deep in sleep when my phone started ringing.
Pulling the phone from under my pillow, I checked
the caller. It was Shania calling.
“Hello?” I croaked into the phone.
“Good afternoon” she greeted.
“Good afternoon, how are you?”
“I’m not fine, where are you?”
“In my hostel, was sleeping before you called.
What’s wrong with you?”
“I miss you, so much.” She said with a calm
emotional tune.
“I miss you more.”

“I miss you more.”
“It’s a lie, if you did, you would have called me. For
two days now, we have not talked neither have we
seen each other and I know that if I didn’t call you
now, you wouldn’t mind not calling me till camping
ends.”
“You know that is not true. I would have called you
if you didn’t call after today. Not like I was waiting
for you to call o.”
“Yea I know that’s what you will say.”
“Ok, are you busy, let’s meet na.”
“I’m not meeting with you anywhere.”
I know she wanted me to plead with her so I
decided to play it her way. She usually does that
whenever she wants to be pampered.
“Baby please na. Ok I am sorry for not calling you
all these while. Knock my head when you see me
ok.”

ok.”
“Sure I will do that, but tell me sorry again.”
I told her sorry once more and after so much
rigmarole, she agreed for us to see. I told her to
meet me at the Pavilion and from there, we will
head to Mami market to have some cool time
together.
We got to our favourite café in Mami market and I
ordered for two plates of pepper soup. We kept
discussing waiting to be served.
“So what happened between you and Purity because
she has been in an elated spirit since three days
ago?” she asked.
“Nothing much. Divine came and told me what
happened and why Purity was the way she was and
pleaded that I talk to her, since she tried and it
never yielded.”
“What was her problem?”

“What was her problem?”
“She had a bad relationship three years ago and
promised herself that………”
“Hmmm!! So she was acting up because she can’t
have you, is that?” she asked unconcerned after I
narrated Purity’s predicament to her.
“Not really, she was like you are her very good
friend and she can’t for anything try coming close to
me knowing you will be hurt.”

“She is seriously funny. Does she think that even if
we weren’t friends that she stands a chance with
you when I am involved, she gats be kidding.”
“I just told her to get over the vow she made that
chances are she is never going to meet someone
that bears similar names to her again and meeting
the person might end up causing her more
damage.”
“This is even crazy, why would she even make such
a vow?”
“Because she was hurt. Some people don’t handle
heart breaks pretty well.”
“Oh! Please. If we are all to keep making
unreasonable vows just because we are hurt, believe
me, all girls will end up at the convent just as the
guys will all become priests.”
“You are funny. So tell me, you’ve joined the Kendy
group now?”
She laughed and stared at me for a while like she
was doing some thinking. “So you saw me with
them that day?” she asked.
“Is that a yes or no to my question?”
“It’s nothing to your question.” She said looking
into the space.
“Ok if you say so.”

Our order was served and we buried all our
attention into it. It was very delicious and peppery
and so to avoid the pepper entering the wrong
track, we pretentiously gave it all our attention. After
we devoured it, I placed another order for two
bottles of soft drink.
“I have this link that could help us ‘runs’ our posting
to a very good PPA (Place of Primary Assignment),
don’t know if you are interested. I said breaking the
silence after taking a gulp from my bottle.
“Hmmm!! Who is this link?”

“You don’t have to worry yourself about that, just
indicate your interest and leave the rest to me.”
“I am asking because someone already sold that
idea to me which I didn’t buy. I wanted to confirm
your interest before giving the person a reply.”
“Who is the person?”
“Ok you are now asking for my source but just a
few seconds ago you refused telling me yours, how
fair is that?”

“Are we now playing a game of fairness here?”
“Yea exactly who you are, always trying to exonerate
yourself from situations which you created while
expecting every other person to be held back into it.
Well it’s Kendy. He wants to help me with the
posting.”
“Pull out your phone now and tell him hell to the no
that you ain’t interested.”
“Yea exactly the reason why I didn’t want to tell you
the source, I know you are going to push it into the
trash can.”

“Danm right that’s where I just pushed it and that’s
where its gonna be.” I annoyingly retorted.
“Well before we leave it in the trash can according
to you, why not tell me the market from which you
are buying yours and we can compare the credibility
and legitimacy because I sure as hell trust this
Kendy source.”

“Just for the record, there is no way I am going
down with you on that Kendy link. Call it my pride
or whatever you think but if that’s the only link left
in this world, then I will rather leave my fate with
NYSC to post me where they like.”
“Noted, but first tell me who is selling you this
link.”
“There is this friend I recently met, that’s how I got
to know about it.”
“And who is this friend you recently met?”
“Does it matter who the person is?”
“You can just stop trying to play smart with me
because if it’s what my mind is telling me, then be
rest assured that there is no way that I am buying
it.”
“And what is your mind telling you because I know
it’s telling you shits right now.”

She looked at me with disdain and scoffed. “Is this
your link not coming from Precious?” she asked
finally.
Finally it was my time to scoff. “Your mind always
has a funny way of roaming around. But sorry to
disappoint you, it has nothing to do with Precious.”

“Then who the hell is this? If you aren’t going to
talk, then be rest assured that I am going with
Kendy with or without your consent.” She said and
stood up to leave.
“Don’t walk out me, don’t try it.”
“You know what? Get the f**ck out of my head. If
you are ready to talk let me know.” She said and
walked away.

I paid for the drinks and left. I know I could be
defensive sometimes on some issues if not, nothing
stops me from telling her who brought the idea to
me. On the contrary, I know she wouldn’t accept it
coming from another girl since I couldn’t accept it
coming from a guy from her side.
I was walking towards my hostel lost in thought
when all of a sudden something caught my eyes.

I was walking towards my hostel lost in thought

Looking towards the direction, I saw Kendy walking
Shania down to her hostel both holding hands. I
stood shocked as I stared at them. Just few
minutes ago she left me and she is with him
holding hands already walking to her hostel. I felt
my ego poached. How could she do that? So she
now rushes to him at every slightest issue.
“Hey! What are you staring at?” Purity asked
interrupting my thoughts as she stood beside me.

“Errmm!!…. nothing.” I replied drawing my gaze
away from them.
“Don’t tell me that, you have been looking towards
that direction for over five minutes.”
“Please not now.”
“Not now what? I just asked what you are staring at
and you are telling me not now, is that an answer?”
she pressed on.
“I am not in the mood for this now please.” I said
walking away towards my hostel.

“Then get in the mood and tell me what the
problem is” she said walking behind me.
“Not now and probably not today so please leave

“Is it about them, Shania and Kendy?”

“Not now and probably not today so please leave

“Is it about them, Shania and Kendy?”
“So you know already, congrats. Can you now let
me be, I don’t want to talk about it, thanks.”
“If it’s going to make you feel better, then go on
ahead and talk to your bed” she said and turned
around.
I didn’t look back as she left. I just wanted to be
on my own that moment and sort out my feelings.

It was obvious that something was happening
between them. Even if nothing is happening
between them why running to him all of a sudden?
I got to my hostel and dived to the bed. I tucked
my waist pouch and phones safely under my bed
sheet before sleeping off.
