Episode 55
Sitting up from the bed, she picked her phone and
dialled a number as I left to take a leak. I came
back and met her talking happily with her mum.

She accused her of not wishing or remembering that
it was her birthday. Seeing me, she placed the
phone on loud speaker as her mum was
apologising from her end. I could sense joy and
happiness from the woman’s voice as she kept

I could guess they have not talked like that for a
very long time. After they played around for a while,
the woman got silent for a moment before she
called her by her native name.

“Ifechi?”
Covering the speaker of the phone, Shania
whispered to me that the woman was about to start
some serious talk. She called her again before

Shania answered.
“Mum I am here.”
“Who did this to you?” she asked.
Shania must have understood what her mother
meant by the question as she laughed out telling
her that she doesn’t know what she was talking
about, that nobody did anything to her.

The woman wasn’t taking any of it as she persisted
with her question. When Shania saw that the woman
wasn’t going to drop it with her question, she told
her that she wanted her to speak with someone and
before I could protest, she handed the phone over
to me and left to ease herself.

I cleared my throat quietly and greeted the woman
with my sweetest voice.

“Good morning ma.”
“Good morning my son, how are you?”
“I am fine ma. How are you and the family?”
“We give thanks to God. How is your family.”
“They are fine ma.”

“What is your name?”
“Purity ma.”
“Purity ma.”
“Oh! Purity, I have heard about you. How is your
mother.”

“She is fine ma. How is Business?”
“Well, we thank God, He has been faithful. You are
serving in the same state with Ifechi?”

At the mention of that name, I wanted to burst out
laughing but had to hold myself back.
“Yes ma,” I replied.

“Yes ma,” I replied.
“So what did you do to my daughter?”
Immediately she asked the question, Shania
shouted,
“Mummy this is not an interview session. Infact, it’s
enough” she said and collected the phone from me
removing it from speak out.

They talked more laughing after which Shania gave
me back the phone to say goodbye. We talked as
the woman took her time to thank me for what I

that left my mouth as I dropped the phone was
“IFECHI.”

She jumped on me and started hitting me playfully.
We fought till she was out of breath before she
surrendered. We both laid panting like people that
just finished running a marathon.

“Shania?” I called her sitting up from the bed.
“Yes?” the seriousness of my tune must have
alarmed her.

“I don’t know what is going on between you and
that guy and I don’t want to ask which might lead
you to lying to me. Whatever is going on, I trust you
can handle it and I want you to take care of it, and
possibly do away with it,ok?”

“Purity I …….” She started before I interrupted her.
“Shania, this is the best I can handle my feelings. I
don’t want it to bring issues for us, just handle it.” I
said with a note of finality.

She drew closer and kissed me with a thank you.
This led to a round of passionate happy birthday
love making after which we showered, dressed up
and checked out with the remaining part of the
cake.

When we got to her house, we celebrated a little
with her roommates before I left. As I left, I felt
fulfilled but my pocket felt slacked. My happiness
was that I was able to bring back that genuine
happiness back to her life.
