Episode 4
Olamilekan called me in the evening, but I refused to pick the call, our visit to his house led to all this problem. Tinuke picked the call instead since I refused to pick up.
I heard Tinuke telling the guy that heās free to come to our hostel anytime.
āYou invited him over again?ā I asked when she ended the call.
āYes, do you have a problem with thatā she said with a straight face.
āNo, I just thought thatās the last person youād want to see, after what your visit to his place caused youā
āHe has nothing to do with what happened todayā
āTinuke! I can see you badly need a male friend, the one your boyfriend deprived you from having for a very long time nowā
āWhateverā Tinuke gestured with her hand.
Olamilekan came to the hostel on Sunday afternoon. Tinuke told him everything that happened on Saturday, I also informed him that Tinuke broke up with her boyfriend because of me. We both pleaded with Tinuke to make up with her boyfriend.
I couldnāt believe I spoke freely with him this time. He also said it himself before he left that he was so happy that I finally spoke to him freely. He really enjoyed our company and he returned back to his lodge in the evening.
One week was gone already, Tinuke and her boyfriend are still not talking, I was feeling guilty about this, I knew my friend was doing this because of me, this is not their first time of having issues but they always resolve it.
āFriendship, I think you should talk things through with your boyfriendā I adviced.
āNoted, thanksā She responded sharply.
āTinuke, stop forming super woman, please end this fight for all it worthā
āOkā¦..Iāve heard you. If he calls next time, Iāll pick itā
āPromise?ā
āPromiseā she raised her right hand upā
āThanksā
I went to the salon to make my hair, I asked Tinuke to follow me but she said I should go alone that she canāt be following me everywhere so I went alone. I returned to the hostel only to meet her friend crying.
āTinuke why are you doing this to yourself? I know you miss him but you refuse to pick his calls, he sent several messages which you ignore as well. He even sent you your monthly pocket money which means heās not fighting you.
I picked my phone and dialed Samās no.
āHello please hold on for her I think sheās ready to talk nowā I said and passed the Phone to Tinuke. I left the room to give them privacy, clearly Iām still pissed with the guy myself because I did not even allow him talk before I handed the phone to Tinuke.
āHope you guys have settledā I said as I entered the room.
āYes we have, nagode(thank you) in fact Sam could not believe you could call him to make us settle our fight. He said heās really sorry for those hurtful words, heāll call you himself to apologizeā she said with a brightened face.
āThatās not necessary, once you guys are good, then Iām fineā
āHaba Anike you talked me into forgiving him and you have to do the same too āDan Allahā (please).
Sam called me minutes later but I refused to pick the call. Tinuke told her boyfriend to give me time to come around.
????
Olamilekan and I became good friends. He asked me out but I was concerned about the difference in our level at first. 100 and 400l, heāll be graduating soon.
But after so much pestering especially from my friend, I agreed to date him. I told Tinuke about it.
āI decided to give the relationship a trial. I told Olamilekan today that Iām in, we are now datingā I informed her.
āIām happy for you, I really like that guy for you. Heās a nice guy you know. Team Olamilekan any day, anytime.ā she screamed.
āAnd I guess youāll do thanksgiving in church for this because your wish has finally been fulfilledā I said
āYes o, thank God it didnāt take you so long to figure it out, Iāve always known he had eyes for you, I wish you guys the bestā she said and hugged me.
Exams started and two weeks later, we were through with our exams and preparing to travel home, weāve both booked our flight tickets.
āIām eating dinner tomorrow in my house by Godās grace unlike some people who will eat theirs in their boyfriendās houseā I teased
āNa you sabi o, Iām spending just two days at his place.
My boyfriendās call came through. He asked when I was going I told him the next day.
He said heāll drop me off at the airport. I told him my flight is 8:45am. So he had to come very early. And he promised to come on time.
āYou guys are traveling together, so itās now association of lagosians abi? Tinuke asked.
āNo o, he just want to drop us off at the airport, heās travelling a day after tommorow. But weāll see in Lagosā
āMe! I donāt like that your Lagos for anythingā
āWe donāt want you sef, go to that your boring Abujaā
āAt least its better than your noisy Lagosā
āIf I carry you go banana island you go love Lagosā¦oā I sang teasing her with the song.
āSee you, you donāt like Pawpaw islandā
āThank youā¦..Eko state! here I comeā I said throwing my hands in the air.
