Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13
So much for love abi? I got outside and started
walking home majestically throwing my hands in the
air like I had no care in the world. My heart was
beating right in my brain. I swear no be lie. You
know when your pulse transfers from your wrists to
that tiny vein on your head and start doing “dut dut
dut”, that was exactly how I felt that night.
“Na where you dey come from without shoes na”
My younger bro asked immediately I stepped into
the sitting room. My breath was high but who cares.
Na only shoe na and seriously nobody asked me for
it. I only heard “hey hey hey”, and my legs kicked in.
The shoes found their ways out of my leg when the
acted as a decelerating force-field.
“From work na. But men, some agberos been dey
fight for junction walai. Na run I carry comot from
there”
I said breathlessly while I proceeded to the kitchen
to dish food for myself.
The next day, I had already left instructions for my
brother to retrieve my items from Perpetual. I was
in the office feeling uneasy and trying to
concentrate. No phone to play with, nothing to do.
Just sitting my black Bottom and browsing through
Nairaland. Each time I will have this feeling like my
phone is vibrating in my pocket but men, nothing.
I closed and got home to meet my brother watching
a movie on my laptop.
“Attai, I see your show for road o”
He said to me and smiled briefly while I frowned
and went to pick my phone. It was off. Well, I had
switched it off.
“Hello, Perpetual. Yeah. Thank you for yesterday. No,
can’t come.”
That was how the conversation flowed.
“I am not feeling too well. My stomach is paining
me”
She said, making her voice sound like a baby. My
brain processed the information the normal way so
my reply was in the normal way too.
“Sorry my love. I wish I am there right now. I would
have worked on it”
She paused.
“Go jor. You that say you can’t come.”
“Yeah, I can’t really. I am very busy right now. Loads
and loads of work to do.”
I replied trying to pacify her.
“So it is only sorry you will tell me ko”
Now where is she headed to.
“Lots of love baby, muah muah”
I blew kisses into the phone.
“mtchwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww”
You know that kind of his that make ones ear drum
vibrate. I pulled my phone out of my ear and looked
at the screen to be sure her lips were not going to
come out and s–k my ear drum outta my ear.
“Ah ah, what did I do na?”
I asked.
“Na only love I go chop? Abi na your kisses I go
drink?”
Kai, now that was harsh. But what was more harsher
is the next sound that followed.
“Kuchup. Kpoo kpoo kpoon”
She had dropped the call on me.
“Stylez”
I said referring to my younger brother.
“Go buy me MTN N400 own”
Moments later.
“Attai, I love you. You are the best thing that ever
happened to me.”
Okay, I know what you guys are thinking. I just
played the mugu. But to me? For every action, there
is an equal and opposite reaction. N400 no be child’s
play and I go draw the oil equivalent. If only the oil
would come quickly.
My phone started ringing almost immediately that I
dropped the call. It was a strange number. Owk,
every number for my phone dey strange. Una no fit
blame me na. Na so I pick the call.
“Hello, Attai?”
The person call my name like say e no dey sure and
na woman voice the person get self.
“Yes, na Attai”
I answer am back.
“It is me”
You who? I resemble magician.
“Sorry, I misplaced my phone so I lost all my
contacts. Don’t be angry, who am I speaking with.”
Lovely comedy
