Episode 41
The following morning we woke up refreshed. The
previous night was one of its kind. We made
passionate love that left us both used. She cooked
and after we ate, we left to fetch her bag. To my
greatest surprise, she has been staying in a hotel
all along.
When we came back home, I sent Shania a
message telling her that I have straightened things
between Precious and myself and also there is no
need for us to be apart anymore. She sent a text
back to me which read “I’m happy you have made
peace with her. I still want us to be apart from each
other for a while”
I didn’t understand what she meant by being apart
for a while and why. I dialled her number, after it
rang twice, she picked the third time.
“What is the problem? Are you fed up with us or
something?” I asked.
“Come to my house let’s talk” she replied and
dropped the call.
I dressed up and left for her house, telling Precious
that I was going to get something in school. I met
Shania eating when I got to her house. After
exchanging pleasantries, I allowed her to finish with
her meal before bringing up the issue. Suddenly the
air between us was becoming a little strange,
unlike us.
After clearing the dishes, she came back and sat
beside me on the bed.
“I have ended things with Precious peacefully. We
ain’t dating anymore, not like we were dating before
sha”
“Ok I’m happy to hear that”
“Shania nothing stops us from dating now, please I
don’t want us to be apart”
“Purity listen to me. A lot of things has happened of
which we both know. There is this part of me that
wants to accept your proposal but there is this
other part that is telling me to be careful and I’m
heeding to that part. I don’t want us to rush into
this. Yes I want to start something with you but it’s
not something that I want to just last for a couple
of months. Now that you have made Peace with
Precious I want you to use this remaining time for
your academics while I focus on mine. We have
few months left to stay here, let’s use that for our
studies, ok?”
“Shania I don’t want something that will last a few
months with you, I want something serious not a
fling”
“Purity, I have thought about this, what if we don’t
see again after graduation? I can’t do a phone
relationship. I can’t do a distant relationship”
“We can always find a way to see after graduation. I
know it’s going to be difficult but if we try our best
we can pull it through”
“Ok this is the plan I have, after graduation, let us
work out NYSC posting to the same state. That way
we can be together and build a relationship, but
until then, Purity please let’s be apart”
“And what if we don’t end up in the same state?”
“Then we were never meant to be. Purity I’m sorry
but this was a hard decision for me to make.
Please don’t push it any further. I don’t want you to
make me change my mind which I know you can
do if you press on. Just do this for me ok?”
I gave up trying to convince her and decided to let
it be her way. She also suggested we cut
communication for the rest of the semester and try
not to run into each other as possible as we can.
We decided to work our NYSC posting to Lagos
after graduation. We had the last round of a
passionate ‘goodbye till we meet again’ S£x before
I left.
*************
Two months after our graduation NYSC posting
came out. Before we left school, I told Precious that
I will be working my NYSC posting to Akwa-Ibom
State while she said she will work hers to Abuja. I
wanted to keep her at arms length. No coincidence
should bring us together again. I wanted to start
something with Shania on a fresh note with no one
from the past interfering.
On that faithful morning, I left for the cyber café to
print my call up latter. I was in the cyber café when
I got a message from Shania.
“Purity I’m very sorry, maybe we are not meant to
be together. I am posted to Akwa-Ibom. I love you
Purity, even if we never see again, don’t forget that”
After I read the message, my sweat buds all
opened. I was sweating everywhere. When it got to
my turn, I wrote down the info required to print out
the letter on a piece of paper and handed it over to
the café attendant. I turned my back to the
computer while she logged on to NYSC portal. A lot
of things were going through my mind.
“What if I was posted to another state?”
“Does it mean that this working of NYSC posting is
a scam?”
“What if I am posted to Maiduguri or any of these
distressed states?”
” What will happen to I and Shania?”
I was still lost in thought when the attendant tapped
me and said “Akwa-Ibomayaya”. I turned and asked
her what she said.
“You are posted to Akwa-Ibom State”
I couldn’t contain my joy when I heard that. I
hugged and kissed the girl shouting. Everybody in
the café turned looking at me while the girl looked
down feeling shy and shocked.
When I realized the attention I had drawn to myself,
I mellowed down, and collected the letter from the
girl who couldn’t even look at my face anymore. I
pulled out my wallet and paid for the service.
Before I left I slipped a thousand naira into her
hands “Sorry for the kiss” I whispered to her and
left.
Outside the café, I pulled out my phone and dialled
Shania. Immediately she picked I shouted “We are
meant to be. I’m posted to Akwa-Ibom too oo”.
The news must have caught her by surprise as she
kept quiet not saying anything. I had to say hello
twice before she cleared her throat. I noticed she
was sniffing.
“What is the problem? Are you crying?” I asked.
“No, no I’m not, I’m just so happy” she said amidst
sniffing.
“Now you see, we are meant to be, we are meant
to be” I said jumping around in front of the café.
“Yes, yes we are” she replied now laughing.
We talked for some minutes before saying the good
byes to continue when I get home. I was about to
dial Shania back when I got home when a message
entered my phone from Precious. As I clicked it
open, I couldn’t believe what I saw
“Baby they posted me to Akwa-Ibom.
I have been trying to call you but your number has
been busy.
Call me back, hope you have checked your
posting?”
Just when you are trying to run away from the past
and nature twists your arm.
