Episode 19
I woke up 8pm.. I must have had a terrific sleep
because I remembered I had gone to bed around
4pm. Pulling my phone from under the sheets, I
saw a couple of missed calls from Purity and some
other notifications. I laid awake thinking of what
must be going on between Shania and Kendy. After
a while of serious thinking, I made up my mind to
let things be, if that’s what she wants, then she
should as good as have it already. That is how
drastic I am in making decisions sometimes.
Getting off the bed, I took a bucket of water from
under my bed and went to shower. After that I
changed to a new white outfit and gathered the
dirty ones into a nylon to be taken to the dry
cleaners at Mami market.
As I left my hostel I called Precious to know where
she was. She told me she was with some friends at
Mami market. I told her that I was headed there too
that we would see in a bit. After delivering my
cloths to the dry cleaners, I walked down to my
favorite eatery and got a table. I wasn’t feeling like
taking anything strong so I just ordered for a plate
of food and a bottle of water. As I was digging into
the food, Precious called. She asked for my
location which I gave her before she rang off.
Few minutes later, I saw Precious walking towards
my table.
“I am very surprised that you called me today, am I
safe?” she asked as I pulled out a seat beside me
for her.
“Are you saying that I don’t call you?”
“The last time I saw your call was like ages and I
know how you can be, if you stay a while without
calling me and all of a sudden decides to call
without waiting for me to call, then there is
something hanging over your head.”
“Nothing is hanging over my head, just missed you
that’s why I called. And before you continue ranting
trash, what would you want to take?”
“Nothing, I’m filled already.”
“Come on I can’t just allow you stare at me while I
eat.”
“Nigga I’m fine. Just left my friends up there where
I had something to eat already.”
I surrendered and paid my attention to my food.
After eating, I took a gulp from the bottle water
pushing the tray aside. I relaxed back picking my
teeth while she typed away on her tab.
“You are worried about her right?” she asked jolting
me back from my mind journey.
“Worried about who?” I retorted not sure whether
she was talking to me or her tab.
“You are worried about Shania and that guy right?”
“And how did you know about them?”
“Have seen them a couple of times and I know it’s
either you have seen them or someone told you.
Either ways, I know it wouldn’t be far from what is
disturbing your mind.”
“If at all something is disturbing my mind, believe
me, you just pointed in the very wrong direction
because that doesn’t even make me beat an eye
lid.”
“You know what, acting all manly, strong and
unperturbed doesn’t make you more human than
you are already. Sometimes it’s good to share your
worries. It wouldn’t kill you. Bundling it all up in
your mind like you always do and making rash
decisions doesn’t solve it for you, you know that.”
“But at least it keeps me safe within my own
walls.” I said before I could realize that I just
slipped.
“When are you ever going to let that wall fall?”
“It’s is not ever going to fall. Sometimes that is
where my sanity comes from.”
“From shutting people out of your life and
problems. I think the right thing you should have
said is that from there comes your insanity.”
“Fine, fine, I’m worried about them. I don’t know for
how long but I think something is going on between
the both of them. We had a little misunderstanding
about him this afternoon and it wasn’t up to five
minutes she walked out on me, that I saw the both
of them walking down her hostel holding hands. But
the truth is at this moment, I don’t care whatever is
going on between them, it’s none of my business.”
“Wow! Typical Purity. That last line is what I have
been listening to hear. And that goes a long way to
prove that you are still who you are.”
“Thanks, I will take that as a compliment.”
“Have you called her to talk about it?”
“I’m not calling her to talk about anything. And by
the way there is this guy that has been on your
matter for a while. Do I have a course to worry that
someone is taking you away from me?” I asked
trying to divert the discussion.
“You can play smart all you want but I need you to
call her and mend the walls.”
“Ok, so answer my question.”

“Although I’m jealous but come on, don’t you think
you should give him a chance. He might be serious.
As you know all serious stuff starts like a joke.”
“Give him a chance and leave you for who?” she
said making a face of mock seriousness. But
before she made that face, it came and disappeared
so fast but I saw it, a glint of sincerity in her eyes.
“Oh! And you want me to go and make peace and
leave you for who? ”

“No mother supports the son leaving the wife
because they are having issues so that he could
come back to her, she will always want him to
make peace and hold his family together. So that’s
what I want from you. ”

“Oh! Yes mummy” I said and threw her a salute.
“But you know if you ever need to go get some
succor from somewhere, you can always call on
me” she said and dimmed her eyes.
“I’ve got that in mind. ”
