I had to get my hair and nails done. Timi offered to accompany me there and pay for it. I agreed.
While the hair dresser made my hair, Timi and I talked.
"so you're trying to say she's heart broken? "he asked again still not understanding what happened to Aisha.
" well, yes "
" but you said she claimed not to love the Kazeem guy.." he queried
"yes, she didn't entirely like Hakeem... HAAA-KEEM "I explained, deliberately stressing the name. The hair lady forcefully turned my head to the right as I was looking at Timi.
" excuse me, can you go easy on her? Thank you" Timi firmly says to the lady. She apologised and continued with what she was doing.
"honestly, if I didn't like you ehhn, I wouldn't consider ever associating myself with the type of friends you have, you girls are as dramatic as the Kardashians "
I
My life was going fine.Apart from the stress of attending classes, Rona's continuous pestering on me to go to church, Aisha's mood swings, Debra's occasional tantrums... Life was good.Timi had gone back home and it's been a month I last saw him. I thought I would die but Rona's pestering would be enough to bring me back to life."can you girls come with me to church? "" Debra, you have a nice voice, why don't you join the choir "" come, let's have a minute of prayer "" Do you know God is a great God! "" I believe you know Jesus is the way, the truth and the life "" can you speak in tongues? "Aisha would always scream at Rona.One day, when Rona started her usual bugging.Debra who was having this severe headache turned to her and asked "would you mind going to club with us tonight?"&
Cora'S POVI had this school work I was working on and after successfully get through the typing on my laptop, I had to go and print it out in the school's cafe.I walked to the cafe since it wasn't that far from our hostel."yeah, so I'll like to print out something" I say to the cafe guy.I gave him my flash and showed him the file I wanted him to help me print.As he worked on it, I sat down on a chair and then brought out my phone to keep myself busy.Timi hadn't sent a text or even called, he told me he would so busy this particular day.I turned my attention from my phone to the little gathering that formed at the cafe's door.What was happening?I was tempted to stand up and check but I was engrossed one of Timi Dakolo's video, his voice is just so amazing.I smiled remembering how Timi said I was a fan of Tim
I successfully came out of the pool, obviously panicking."where are you going to? " Debra asked as she also came out." we should go and meet her, at least help her " I turned to say." why would you even believe such thing? You know what Jenny and Olivia are capable of doing " Aisha frowned.I picked up my towel " Jenny was crying, she was obviously frightened by what Olivia was trying to do and besides, I told you the other day that Olivia fainted in the cafe "" you know what? I think you girls should go and check on her.... " Timi suggested. Rona nodded in agreement and we finally left to change out of our suits back to something dry." do you need me to come with you "Timi asked" no, I've stressed you like way too much, you should stay back "He nodded as he picked up his things, Emeka joined him.
What was Derrick doing in school that he didn't bother calling to tell me?I picked up my phone and angrily called him. He picked on the second ring."what? No" he instantly denied after I asked why he came to the school without informing me."are you now saying my friend is a liar? "" Benita, I didn't say that " he answered softly" then say something " I replied." I came to your school, yes.. But it was to see a guy of mine, I actually planned on surprising you babe " he explained slowly." ohh "" you see, you just yelled at me for nothing " I could tell he was frowning." I'm so sorry " I begged." it's fine, so where are you? I'd like to see you today "I started coughing. Who would he like to see? I was far away from school like really far and
"you bastard!" I yelled at Derrick."why did you have to kiss me?" I was glad we were outside."are you trying to break up with me? " he asked." yes... Initially, I was trying to put this in the nicest way possible but now you just changed my mind, we are done, like done! " I hissed.I had to go after Timi, it felt odd because he was the one always running after me.I was confused and crying at the same time." leave me alone " I screamed at Derrick as he came to pull my hand." so it's this Timi guy now? " he smirked." do you even know what you're doing? You barely know him, how can you just decide to date a random guy you met on Facebook? "" he's not a random guy, he understands me better than you do... I don't even know why I'm explaining myself to you, leave me alone ".I stopped a bike and rushed to get on.
"Aisha can you help me with my hair" Rona asked."why, why, why? Get someone else to do it for you! "Aisha fired." ohh, sorry " Rona apologised." aww, Aisha you just hurt Rona's feelings " I pointed.Aisha turned to look at Rona, she was at a far corner, bible in her hand, slowly reading." I used to think Rona can never get hurt in that way " Debra whispered." she's human after all" I shrugged.I watched Aisha stand up and walk over to Rona, smiling she asked "which hair style would you prefer, all back or Bob Marley?""no, I'm fine, I shouldn't have bothered you "" don't be silly, come, let me make your hair " Aisha pushed. Rona smiled and finally followed Aisha back to her bed." so Aisha, what do you know about humility? " Rona asked as Aisha started making her ha
"she has been like this since she arrived""my baby, it really hit her hard being his twin""I know he'll be fine but she seems gone "" my baby..... "Everything seems lost, I've tried to stay strongI'm a sad butterfly! What's the point?What's exactly the point?Being a butterfly..But can't fly.......AISHA'S POVI finally chose to tell Cora the news, I couldn't keep it from her.When she heard it, she didn't take it hard but only asked me"he's still alive right?"It sounded creepy but I assured her he was fine because her big brother told me he's alive but was just in a coma.She didn't say much but just remained quiet. We got back to hostel and she asked us to help her pack her things because she had to go home to meet her brother.
"you are the mr Timi of the other day , isn't it?"Benita's mom was surprised to see me again.It was the next day after Aisha came to pull me out of the office."yes, I happen to be the same mr Timi " I answered with a soft smile to lighten the mood." how is it possible you became a friend of my daughter? " she asked with a serious face." mumcy chill.... They are just friends, simple friends " dread guy whose name I found out to be Daniel answered." well, it seems, you know odd " Mrs Modupe stated." well believe me madam, I wouldn't do anything to hurt your daughter, she's a great friend and that's basically all " hell, that's not all.Did I mention I love her accent?" Okay, well your presence seems to have done a lot to help her get herself,I appreciate that " she smiled at me before
Anu and Rona had long done their convocation.Timi and I were no longer together, he cheated on me.It seemed his play boy nature came crawling back.I thought I could manage, I mean, some years ago, I always told myself that if my boyfriend cheats on me, I wouldn't break up with him but please, it's easier said than done.I focused on school's work, this was my final year, I wouldn't let a man make me mess up in school.I continued my going to club, hanging out with different guys.....dating different guys actually.It was like my old self had come back.Though it wasn't entirely as before when I was always being mean to people, I just resumed being my old social self.Life was better without Timi.-Convocation without Timi.He's just
"Olivia, Jennifer" I called out.We walked into the room, nobody was there, Aisha entered the bathroom."oh my......" She screamed.Debra and I rushed into the bathroom"Jesus""oh my God" .Timi came towards us"what happened?"We didn't need to answer because he could see Olivia on the floor, blood all over."this is what I was talking about. This was what I meant by a dangerous game....... Is she dead?"Aisha cried.Debra bent to feel her pulse and all" I don't know... I c-can't tell" it looked like she was terribly scared.Her expression seemed blank and the last time Debra had a face like this, she awfully cried her eyes out that day , that was like years ago, the last time I saw her cry: the first time her mom disowned her.But I doubted if she would actually
"I didn't expect you'd come" I tell Timi."I'll assume Cora told her boyfriend about today and you people na decided to come and why on Earth would you guys wear an agbada to an orphanage"Aisha sighed.Yeah, they were both on this blue 'agbadas' looking as fresh as ever.Timi explained"no we didn't wear it to go with you guys, we are actually going to a colleague's wedding, we just came to drop some few things""you both look silly" Aisha rolled her eyes. It seems she had her monthly visitor because she was always with the attitude whenever she's on it."what things?" Debra asked Timi. Before he could answer, she walked over to their car, looked in it."A fine big bag, a carton of indomie, some other fine bags and ohh, a bag of rice" She called out.We turned to the guys to give an explanati
"Yeah" I buried myself in his arms."Hey Rona" She smiled at me."Guy, I hope you both had fun?" Timi asked as he placed his hand on Jude's shoulder. His Eternite
"If anything happens, blame it on yourself and besides you said you'd go drop me off?" I asked."yeah, we'll go back to our place now, get dressed and I'll take you to whatever cinema and when you’re done, I'll come with Rona to pick you off and then take you back to hostel" he smiled."you are creepy" I say to him.He and Emeka gave themselves slapping handshakes laughing.We got back to Emeka's place, I went to wear something simple, no need to stress it, I had no intention of impressing Jude.Coming out, Emeka nodded at me in admiration but Timi frowned and asked me to go change the dress."the clothe is okay na, it's a fine dress" Emeka said."yeah, that's the problem, it's too fine and she's a fine girl... You suppose understand guy.... Sweetie, please wear something longer or anything"Chapter 152
" Dude, have you forgotten? I d-don't smoke " Timi instantly say to him."Ohh, true... yeah yeah, I forgot, my bad " his friend quickly answered.I had seen Timi smoke some couple of times.Well, many of my friends did smoke.The girls and I have all tried it several times, my elder brother Daniel once caught us and was really mad at us. He made us wash all the cars in our compound.We decided it wasn't good for us and we vowed never to do it again.I remember the time I saw Timi smoking and I gave him serious warning to stop it.Rona came into the living room, beret on her head."You all are still up? I just came here to get water from the fridge "She got her water and came to sit with us.We all become awkwardly quiet."Wow Timi, you can really make hair " sh
" because shouting is all you need to get sense into that head of yours " she fired." you're sick Deb, you need to see a doctor or something! "" no, you are the mentally deranged person here " she pushed her plate away making it break into pieces." What if Olivia has been right all these while, life isn't all about insults and aggression, can't you just take a chill pill and grow up ..... Besides, I don't even know what I did here "" she took Jude, she took Derrick and she's probably aiming at Timi and when she gets him, if you come crying to me, your own don done " she barked." and don't you ever in your life tell me to grow up because you are the one person that really needs to grow up "" whatever " I waved her off. I didn't like fighting with her but she's being stupid." whatever fire you there! " she gave me her five fingers 'waka'
" it's fine Olivia, I have forgiven you " I tell her.I could see Rona's face lit up at the word 'forgiven'." honestly Olivia, I've also missed you and the way things used to be "" me too and that's the reason I came here, I came to put things in order... You've always had a nice heart right from time and I know it wouldn't be hard for you to welcome me back but you see Aisha... Not even Aisha, Deborah in particular ehn " she laughed" calling her Deborah is even a crime " I joined her laughing." I know right " even Anu and Rona giggled.We were quiet for a while." remember that time your mom gave you custard to school? " she smirked.She didn't even need to say much, I almost fell down laughing." what happened to your custard? " Rona asked unamused.<
" oga chill, don't transfer aggression on me, we all know you are pained because Benita dumped you for Timi.... You sef, it's because you are not trying hard for her " she munched." please and please, it would be nice if you'll shut up"no honestly, it's obvious you still love her and as you're seeing me, I'm badly in love with Timi " she smirked" what exactly is your problem, look at you pregnant but still talking about loving another guy... Are you like psycho or something? " I yelled" so falling in love makes one psycho? Check again!
