Nonsense Mistake

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 19

After Ofoma called Chucks, telling him about Chidimma, he

recalled Oluchi’s threats.

“That girl was sounding serious, what if she is planning

something? I better call Chidimma to stay put at where she is,

Chucks will come there to meet her” he quickly picked his

phone and began calling her

Chidimma who was already set to leave the hotel she lodged,

began smiling looking at her phone screen.

“That’s Ofoma, he is calling me back, he really can’t wait to

see me, and I can’t wait to see him too.” She said, tapping the

acceptance note.

“Hello Baby, I am already set to leave”

“Baby, I think it will be best you remain where you are, Chucks

will come and meet you there”

“O……k, but why?” She asked

Ofoma then began telling her all the threats Oluchi released.

“She is so serious and I’m suspecting she is planning

something to make sure that nothing comes in the way of the

wedding”

“Oluchi! Seriously, I can’t believe that I was friends with such a

person for a very long time.”

“That is it. So in order for our plans to be successful, we need

to tread with caution. So I will call Chucks now and tell him to

come to that hotel and meet you. I will be calling you from

here. Everything you will need is already set, I hired a lady who

has been helping me with all the necessary things you will

need. So all you need to do tomorrow is to see them all, if

there is anyone you don’t like, you request for a change

immediately.”

“Baby, I don’t think I have any taste preference, having you

back is enough for me. Even if I don’t look good that day, it

doesn’t matter, since my happiness is by my side”

“You see why I love you so much, your simplicity. But this is

your day we are talking about, you should look good my love,

the make-up artist I hired is one of the best in town, the tailor

that sewed your clothes for the trad, is also one of the best.

Though they charged me a bunch, but you truly deserve them

my Love”

Chidimma got shut listening to all Ofoma was saying, as tears

rolled down her cheek. She was lost of the words to say.

“Are you still there?” Ofoma asked, checking if the network

signal got interrupted.

And Chidimma replied in a faint voice “yes baby, I am here”

And noticing the weak voice, he asked her why he was

sounding like that.

“No Baby, it’s……its… just that I can’t believe that this day

would come, I……I…….I..” Tearful joy couldn’t allow her finish

her words..

And Ofoma was touched, his heart melted, he began blaming

himself for putting her into so much stress, thinking that she

had lost him forever.

“I am sorry my love for not carrying you along, it was a huge

mistake on my part, you don’t need to cry anymore, I’m here to

shine a new light into your life, to take you to the next level of

your life. You will rule my world with me, you are going to be

the mother of my children and my earnest prayer is for them

to be blessed with a good heart just like yours. I love you so

much my Queen, my esteem treasure. So don’t cry anymore,

and please forgive me for keeping you in the dark, I will make

it up to you on our wedding night, you can also beat me if you

so desire”

So what he said made Chidimma laughed softly: “Hmm, that

kind of beating….” She continued laughing and making Ofoma

to laugh out loudly.

He laughed and forgot that Oluchi was still in the same flat

with him.

“Oh my God! Baby, see what you are making me do. I forgot

that Oluchi is nearby, she shouldn’t find out that I’m talking to

you”

On hearing that, Chidimma felt a bit jealous.

“Baby, can you swear to me that you haven’t done a thing or

two with that woman? I don’t know why you allowed her to

stay in your house”

“Come on Baby, you should know me by now and things I’m

capable of doing. As I’m talking to you now, Oluchi hasn’t

entered my room since she came to this place.”

“Hmm, is room the only place things can be done?”

And Ofoma laughed and said: “Baby, I’m assuring you, I’m still

the way you left me, don’t worry, on our wedding night, use

your metre to check me, you will see that I’m still the way you

left me”

And Chidimma burst into laughter, “check you with metre?

Where can I find such metre?” She continued laughing… “But

baby, won’t she be hearing what you are saying?”

“No she can’t, you know that the bathroom is very close the

door, so I left the tap open”

“Really… You are so smart”

“Yes Love, I’m learning to be careful, you know that he who

eats with the devil, eat with a long spoon” As he was still

speaking, Chucks’ call began buzzing his phone.

“Chucks is calling me now, let me answer him, will continue

with our chat later, OK” he then ended the call.

Oluchi who overheard Ofoma’s voice tiptoed close to his door

to know if she could get a wind of his discussion, but the

sound that was coming from the bathroom didn’t give room

for that.

“I’m sure he is on the call, but who could he be talking to? Are

you sure Chidimma is not back?” She went back to her room,

to call somebody to know if Chidimma had somehow

returned.

And the person said No, that she hadn’t been seen.

She then got relieved and said: “Chidimma, you better remain

where you are and save me the stress of kidnapping you”

Ofoma’s plan went exactly as he planned it. The tailor that

sewed Chidimma’s clothes for the traditional outfits got her

size, just few amendments were made. And Ofoma had

Chucks plan things for him, and making the men Oluchi

stationed to follow him not to find anything unusual.

And finally, It’s the day of the wedding, Chidimma was already

set. Because of her extreme joy, she couldn’t sleep a wink. As

early as 4:15 am, she was already up, began getting ready for

her day.

She then knelt and prayed for her wedding to be a success.

The presiding priest agreed to conduct the wedding for them

by 8am.

About 6:15 am, Ofoma who had his main Suit at his friend’s

place lied to Oluchi that he needed to reach their wedding hall

to make sure that things were in order.

“OK Baby, just do, it’s very necessary.” Oluchi replied, looking

cheerful

“So Baby, the day is finally here, I cant wait for you to start

answering my name. So please, get ready fast, we really don’t

need to be late to church” he urged, giving her assuring look

that he was happy to be getting married to her. And she was

so happy that her dream was finally coming through.

Immediately he left, she made a call asking if Chidimma had

been somehow sighted, and they said “No”.

“Good, that means, I was worried for nothing. Chidimma is a

nobody, she doesn’t even have any capabilities to push me

into a panic, I don’t know why I got worried in the first place,

she can not even do anything. I wasted my money for

nothing.” She sighed

On stepping out, Ofoma noticed a Honda car that was parked

close to his building. When he drove out, he also noticed that

the car was following him.

“Is that car following me or what? OK, let me take this route to

know if they will divert” and yet, they diverted. And later, he

discovered that he was been followed.

“Oluchi, I know this is your handwork” he said, shaking his

head and began devising a plan.

About 8:34am, Oluchi began calling Ofoma, to ask him where

he was.

“He should be here to get dressed, what’s keeping him”..tbc.Nonsense Mistake

Episode 19 (The End)

“Oluchi, I will show you today that you are nothing but a fool.

You sent some guys to track my movement, abi? No wahala.

This is my game and it will go according to my plans” Ofoma

said in his heart, controlling the steering.

But before the men could know what was happening, they lost

him.

So instead of telling Oluchi about it, they kept it to themselves

so that she won’t start bugging them to look for him and

besides, she had already balanced them their remaining

money that morning with hope that nothing would get in her

way again.

The time she was calling Ofoma on the phone to come and

get ready, he and Chidimma were already in the church having

their wedding. And she was getting worried.

9:40 am, Ofoma had not been seen.

Oluchi was no longer herself, she became anxiously desperate.

“What is going on? And he is not answering his calls? What is

really happening?” She feared, continued calling him.

Thinking of how humiliated she will be and broken if Ofoma

didn’t show up for the wedding, she became more desperate.

She then called the men she paid to track Ofoma.

When they answered the call, they told her that they had

already left town for another business.

“What and you couldn’t tell me before leaving, is it because I

have completed your balance? Please, I want you guys back,

my whole world is about to collapse. Ofoma is not here, he is

not here”

“Well that is your problem, you told us that the business will

expire today, so we are done.” The gang leader said

“Listen here you moron, I said once Ofoma and I exchanged

our marital vows, then you can leave, is that not our initial

agreement? The reason I paid you in the morning was

because, I will be very busy through out today, and won’t have

the time to complete your balance”

“You are now insulting me? Thank your stars that I’m not there,

I would have mapped a slap on your face. Go deal with your

problem” he said, disconnecting the call

“Listen to me..listen” Oluchi tried saying a word, but the gang

leader hung up on her: “he hung up? What’s going on here?”

She furiously went rhetorical.

Checking the time, it was 10:05 am.

She then slumped on the chair.

Her make up artist urged her to get dressed incase Ofoma

shows up.

“I don’t think he is coming here, my enemies has succeeded in

destroying my happiness. It was her, it was Chidimma. I knew

she was planning something.”

“Who is Chidimma?” The makeup artist asked

And just then, her phone rang..

“Oh my God! It’s him….” She screamed answering the call

“Baby, where are you naa? I’m in the church now, but you are

not here, what’s still keeping you?” Ofoma asked

“What? You are in the church, but how come?” She asked,

feeling relieved from her fears and worries.

“Baby, there is no time for questions, quickly do and get here

please or don’t you want us to get married again?” Ofoma

asked, laughing in her in his heart.

“Off course I do, it’s the only thing I wish for. Just give me 5

minutes, I will join you in the church” in deep joy, she

disconnected the call, rushed her wedding gown and began

heading to the church.

The moment she left, Chucks with Ofoma’s apprentice began

gathering her things.

When she reached there, she saw Ofoma and Chidimma on

wedding attire taking pictures with some of their family

members.

She couldn’t believe her eyes. She began approaching them

slowly, wondering what was happening.

When Ofoma sighted her, he nudged Chidimma.

“She is here, but Baby, let’s mind how we approach her, we

don’t know if she is armed or not. Remember you said you had

some men following you” Chidimma suggested

“That’s why I have the policemen here, so she can’t do

anything”

They were still talking and Oluchi asked in a loud angry voice:

“Chidimma, what are you doing here wearing a wedding

gown?”

But Chidimma didn’t utter a word, she kept looking at her

approaching their direction.

When she got closer, she tried dragging Ofoma away from

Chidimma. “Baby, let’s go inside, the priest is waiting” she then

got a flash from the wedding band on Ofoma’s finger and

quickly looked at Chidimma’s finger and saw the the same

wedding ring.

“You are shocked, right? What do you think, that I will leave

Chidimma for you? So Oluchi, let me introduce my new wife to

you. This is Chidim….”

But Oluchi interrupted him: “Ofoma, let’s go inside for our

wedding. You can’t be joking with things like this” she

requested, as her legs were already shaking, wishing for

Ofoma to tell her that he was only joking.

“Yes, how can I be joking? I called you here to witness this

union between me and my beautiful Love, the Angel of life.”

Ofoma said, as Chidimma cut in: “Yes Oluchi, how are you

feeling now as you are having a taste of your own medicine?

You see your life, you think that you own the world, that things

will go according to your ways. No Oluchi, the world doesn’t

operate like that. The love Ofoma and I share is genuine and

real..”

“Shut up your dirty mouth” enraged Oluchi cut in, raising her

hand to slap Chidimma as Ofoma freeze it on the air.

“What do you think you are doing? Today is her wedding and

you want to soil her makeup with that stinky hand of yours?

Better respect yourself and return to that city you came from.”

Oluchi who was burning in anger began threatening Ofoma.

“You won’t get away with this. You two decided to play me,

humiliate me in front of everyone. Ofoma, if I didn’t make you

regret this, then know that my name is not Oluchi”

“Yea yea…go on, keep talking, I have policemen here, and they

are already recording all you are saying which will be used

against you in the court of law in case any harm comes to us.

So Oluchi, just know that you are now being watched by the

law. if I were you, I will pray that nothing happens to us,

otherwise you will have the law to deal with. And you think

that I don’t know about the touts you paid to follow me, to

track my movement, but where are they now?” Ofoma asked,

laughing mockingly

And then Oluchi knew that she can’t do anything again, she

burst into tears, leaving herself on the floor.

Her own family members began hurling insults at Ofoma and

Chidimma for causing their daughter pains.

“Well, you all can insult us as much as you want, if only your

daughter could tell you the truth of everything. She is the

reason for what is happening to her now.” He said, leaving,

taking Chidimma by the hands.

“Ofoma, this is not over yet, I will be waiting for you guys at

the house.”

“Which house again? You don’t even have any shame at all. For

your information, you have been evicted from that house. Just

wait for few more minutes, all your belongings will be brought

to you here. And one more thing, I don’t want to see you

anywhere near my flat again, you get me? Off course you

should, because I’m no longer using L in place of R again.

Hmm, oh dear, I’m enjoying this show, revenge is always

sweet mehn…” Ofoma laughed, entering the car.

Oluchi who couldn’t take it tried to stop them, but got wedged

by the policemen.

“They are leaving… He is leaving.. Ofoma please come back,

the priest is waiting for us inside, sir please stop him, don’t

allow Chidimma to take him away, stop them please… Ofoma

please come back!” she wailed in a deep angry voice,

watching the cars leaving the church premise.

The moment they left, Chucks drove in straight to where

Oluchi was sitting, crying.

“These are all your things in Ofoma’s house. We took our time

to bring everything here, none was left behind.”

Oluchi felt her world collapsing right in front of her.

After everything she did to have Ofoma all to herself, but true

love prevailed. True love always prevails.

In life, we loose some few things to get the desired things we

want.

When Oluchi left Ofoma, he felt bitter, thinking that his world

has finished, that he can’t live without her, but little did he

know that Oluchi’s exit paved way for his true love, Chidimma.

If she hadn’t left, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity of

having the person of Chidimma in his life, a girl who turned out

to be the exact woman he had always wished to have as a

wife.

Let this story be a form of consolation, courage, strength and

faith builder to anybody passing through any kind of

heartbreak, disappointment or rejection.

Just know that things happen for a reason, and for the children

of God, it will always be a blessing in disguise. It will always

end in praise.

The End…
