Episode 22
I called Yusuf while Purity called Divine as we
walked down to Mami market. We secured a table
and some seat as we waited for the others to
come. Few minutes later Shania came together with
Divine while Yusuf followed suit with Saidat.
Shania settled in a seat beside me while others sat
on the remaining seats. Yusuf had to drag another
seat for his new babe. We all exchanged
pleasantries as Yusuf introduced his girl.
“Guy you have been scarce these days, wetin dey
happen?” Divine asked after we placed our orders.
“He was among those caught dodging morning
parade some days back” Purity blurted out before I
could say a word.
All of them laughed, Shania inclusive.
“So you are among those that have been doing the
compound cleaning?” she asked again.
“Yes ma” I replied which aroused another round of
laughter from them.
They were still making jest of me when the waiter
served our order. We started eating, talking and
laughing in between the meal.
“Why is it that they caught you alone when Yusuf is
your bunk mate?” Divine asked spooning some rice
into her mouth.
“No mind the mumu. It’s like he had a pre
knowledge about the raid and sneaked out not
bothering to wake me.” I fired at Yusuf.
“Haba na, na lie. That day, dey for catch me too.
What saved me was that I went to ease myself
when I saw the soldiers coming. I didn’t have the
chance to come and warn him because they were
already close so I had to run. But even at that, he
didn’t tell me that he was caught all these while.”
“Why I go tell you, make you laugh me as una dey
do now abi? Craze dey your head.”
They all laughed while I kept firing at Yusuf while he
tried unsuccessfully to defend himself. After we
were done eating I paid for the food and ordered
for some drinks which Yusuf later paid. They left
leaving Shania and I alone afterwards leaving for
their different hostels or God knows where.
“I have just one question to ask you” I started.
“What is going on between you and Kendy?”
“I also have one question for you, what is going on
between you and your ex or rather your present?”
“There is nothing going on between Precious and I,
you know that.”
“Do I? Is she not the person that told you about the
‘post runsing’ thing?”
“It’s not from Precious. There is this friend I met
while we were cleaning the compound, she is the
person that told me about the link.”
“By the way, why didn’t you tell me about you being
in a punishment?”
“Did you care to ask? You were busy moving around
the whole camp with your new found friend, holding
hands and doing all those other shitty stuffs which I
don’t know rather than to care about me.”
She looked at me disdainfully before she said
“Don’t say such a thing to me next time.”
“No you listen to me. If you are tired of this thing
we have, come out right and tell me and not to
flaunt another guy before my face.”
“Purity I don’t f**king have anything to do with him.
He is just a friend.”
“Yea, it all starts from being friends. Now you know
my source of information, are you game or you are
still going with your friend?” I said stressing on the
friend.
“So you will want me to go with your own source
which comes from a girl but you wouldn’t want to
go with mine because it’s from a guy?”
“That’s is not what we are talking about here…..” I
started before she cut me off.
“Then what are we talking about?”
“I’m talking about the guy you have been holding
hands with all around the camp and who might be
doing this for whatever reason best known to the
two of you.”
“Purity there is nothing between Kendy and I. He is
just someone that has been asking me out of which
I told him that I have a boyfriend.”
“Wow! Nice speech. Just a friend and you walked
in here yesterday with him and just one word, you
couldn’t say to your boyfriend, your so called
boyfriend.”
“What were you doing with Precious. If you are
pointing fingers at me remember to also do same
to yourself. What were you doing with Precious. I
know you guys are not over each other yet, that’s
why you run to her any time we have any little
issue. Do you know how I felt when I saw the both
of you together yesterday? You can’t imagine it.”
“And do you know how I felt when you left me here
and not up to five minutes you were holding hands
with Kendy walking romantically to your hostel and
when he led you in here and couldn’t say one word
to me?”
“Purity I’m sorry about that. There is nothing going
on between us. I can call him now and let you talk
to him.”
“There is no need for that. So are you game with
me?”
“How sure are you that this your friend is not
scam?”
“Fine don’t worry. You can go with your friend’s own
while I do my thing. But please for the sake of what
we have, stop flashing it on my face. People that
know about us are talking already.”
“Purity I’m sorry. I wasn’t flashing it on your face or
anything. There is nothing to flash on your face
believe me. Please let’s just stop this fighting. It’s
getting too much for me to handle. We now go days
without talking to each other. We don’t even know
what’s happening in the life of each other anymore
all because of some silly issues and people.”
“You started it. You are the one who started hiding
things.”
“And I said I’m sorry.”
“It’s ok” I said pulling her into an embrace. I know
people around us were oblivious of what was
happening but they did good to mind their business.
“I missed you” she said as her hand went around
my waist. I felt a pang of guilt when I heard her
say that. I knew I had done her wrong and I felt so
bad about it that moment.
“I missed you more”
We held to each other for a while before we decided
to leave the café. We left and went to our normal
place, under the mango tree. We talked more and
assured each other how nothing is going on behind
each others back. She strongly registered her fear
of Precious and I getting together to which I told
her that nothing of such will happen, if only she
knows. I made up my mind that moment to stay
clear of anything that will bring Precious and I
together in any situation that might lead to
something going down.
We were still talking when my phone started ringing
and just like talking of the devil, it was Precious
calling.
“Hello Precious?”
“Baby how are you?” she said. Shania must have
heard it because she frowned and removed her
head from my shoulder.
“I’m fine and you?”
“Good. Where are you?” she asked.
“I’m with Shania.”
“Ok have you discussed that stuff with her?”
“No, not really. I will get back to you once I do.”
“Ok just make it fast, we don’t have much time.”
“Ok” I said before dropping the call.
“You told me she was not the person that told you
about the ‘posting runsing’” Shania asked as I
dropped the call.
“Yea she is not the one. Though she told me about
hers yesterday and I told her that I will get back to
her once I discuss it with you.”
“Tell her that we are not interested” She said
nonchalantly.
“Ok but please listen to me. Yesterday after she told
me, I went with her to meet her platoon commander
who is the one helping her with it. Shania I think I
trust her link.”
“Just like I trust kendy’s, sorry.”
