Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
Enita’s POV
Everything poured away. What will my mom say?
Am still clumsy at this age.
Mummy!!!!!!!
I groaned at my clumsiness. “Enita where are you? Come out now” I heard my mom’s voice.
I wanted to run but I heard her gasps. Am in real trouble.
“Enita!!! What did you just do?! You just poured the food the took me hours to cook away. That’s how you will be behaving like a gentle goat!” My mouth went open.
I pouted like a baby, blinking my lashes.
“Mom, I didn’t mean it. I was looking for Brume and didn’t notice the pot. Am sorry momma” I pleaded and winking at my mom.
She glared at me and walk into the house. Should I still look for that boy that made me land myself into trouble or go back.
I finally went in and saw aunt Stella and others sitting in the living room. Tony’s face had a different expression.
That fool. He better behave well else I will show him pepper here in Warri. He doesn’t know Nigeria people.
I went in and bought some drinks and placed it on the table.
If they like, they should drink. Am even praying they shouldn’t.
“So Efe, you’re saying Stella here is your fiancée? If so, I need to call the elders now and talk about it. They must be surprised to see you around and with a white girl to marry” My father said and brought out his phone.
“I would have love to entertain you people with food but I guess you guys can’t even eat it, since it Nigeria food.
Secondly, a goat already poured the food away so there’s no need again. The goat was really crazy to have done that.” My mom sighed and secretly glare at me.
What? Mom indirectly called me a goat cause I poured a pot of soup away.
Its not my fault now.
…………………………………………………..
Brume still hasn’t come back. I was worried but my parents aren’t.
They must have known where he has gone to. But I didn’t bother to ask.
The elders were outside, talking about the marriage that is going to happen between uncle Efe and aunt Stella.
I still had a dream yesterday. A bad one at that.
I dreamt about my uncle and aunt Stella been poison after eating a food prepared by Chief Moore.
That man! The thought of him made me clenched my fist in anger.
Truthfully, that man is really evil, dangerous and everyone knows and that’s why he’s avoided.
Why will he have to poison my uncle and his fiancée? Or is it because his 40 year old son who is even older than my uncle, jobless?
A man who’s supposed have a family now. He didn’t even have a wife not to talk of children. He’s always there drinking Kaikai(Palm wine) with every morning he has.
And once he’s drunk, is either you find him in the gutter or beside the road. Sleeping and murmuring like a groaning wounded hippopotamus.
Chief Moore is one of the people who worship those d–n gods in the community.
I need to go with uncle Efe, everywhere he goes, am going too.
I just hope he’s not one of the enemies that always target me. Those enemies, am still discussing their matter with God.
The thunder that will fire them is doing exercise in heaven.
“Enita? Are you there?” I heard Mimi’s cool voice.
“Yes Mimi, you came back?” I turned to her.
“Yes, let just say the house is boring. Moreover, my dad isn’t around now but he will be coming soon.”She answered coming towards me.
“Ohh! Let go to momma’s canteen then.” I held her waist while she nods slowly.
“I still need to apologize to her. I will do anything she ask me to do as my punishment”
I chuckled and faced her. “My mom isn’t going to give you any punishment at all. But she’s gonna forgive you.” I replied and peck her on the cheek.
We were on our way when we met fejiro running towards us. She stopped, gasping for breath.
“Enita, I heard you’re back. Thats why am running. How’s London? And this one that you’re holding Mimi.” She looked down, seeing we are holding hands then stare at both of us.
“Hmm, actually we are together. We are friends now. Close friends” I replied, and stuck my left hand into my trouser pocket.
“Oh really? I never expect you and Mimi to be friends since you guys are enemies back then.”Fejiro rolled her eyes.
“I need to go now, just came back to check if the rumor is true. Isioma and I no me will be coming to see you. Mimi bye.” She ran off like she was been pursued by something.
I sighed and we kept walking, probably am gonna see my brother in the canteen.
We got to the canteen and didn’t even see him. Mimi went to my mother who was really vexed up seeing her but I know “AM SORRY” will always calm my mother down.
And trust me, Mimi apologize for her sins and they were both laughing like they’ve know each other for years.
Thats why I love my mother. So kind and forgiving.
And now I need to find my brother. I guess I know where he would be.
Brume’s POV (Enita’s brother)
I was throwing stones into the water with my two friends. Daniel and Mathew.
Am just 20 years. Am still schooling, and am in my 400 level. Mass communication. Am here cause we’re on break.
Same here as my two friends. Mathew’s studying law while Daniel’s studying business administration. We three are best friends.
“Are you sure you gonna see this girl, Rose?” Matthew asked and I frowned.
“Of course, she’s gonna come. Thats why am waiting for her here” I answered.
Rose has been the girl have been after. She’s the one who stole my heart. Am trying to tell her the way I feel for her but she’s avoiding me.
To be sincere, I really do love her so much.
I wish she was attending my school but she’s isn’t. She’s a nursing student in university of Lagos.
A long distance.
I can’t just stop thinking of her. Am not trying to force my self on her but just need to tell her how I feel.
My brother is back but I didn’t want to leave here cause I wanna see her face. Those charming eyes of hers.
My parents has known about this, even if they try to stop, I would sneak out to make sure I see her beautiful face before I can rest.
Let’s just say am love sick.
Love wants to kill me
“She’s here. Brume, we are going. Meet us on the way if she turns you down.”Daniel said hurriedly and went away with Matthew.
I composed my self and cleared my throat I saw her coming with a bucket in her hand. No one was with her this time.
And that’s a relief.
“Rose, good morning?” It came out like a question. Waiting for her answer.
She turned and saw it was me. She’s eighteen years.
“Brume, you again? How many times with I tell you to leave me!” She growled.
I moved closer to her till we were an inch apart. Staring at her brown gorgeous eyes.
“Rose, why are you doing this to me? Do you know how much I love you? I can’t stop thinking about you everyday. I know we are still schooling but at least give me a chance” I pleaded sincerely.
“Brume, I know you love me. Fine. But I like someone else! I can’t date you. Just leave me alone okay? You gonna see another girl you will fall in love with” She said and her words hurt me.
She smack her lips together. Her soft, attractive looking lips called me. “Uncle Brume come and kiss me” I shook my head.
Never gonna do that. I might receive a slap.
“Why are you staring at my lips like that? This lips isn’t for you. Its for john.” She said, sarcastically.
“You mean john the Baptist?” I chuckled.
“I didn’t said that. Am talking about john, the boy I like. You’re such bee.” She replied angrily.
That name made me get angry. I brought my face closer to hers. An inch more can make us kiss.
Our breath mixing. Our eyes staring at each others. I smirked as she put on a frown. She pushed me but I held her hand and drew her forcefully.
I ended up crashing my lips on her juicy lips. Her eyes widened. With a wicked smile, I deepen the kiss.
“There you are Brume, kissing a girl. You knew I was back but you’re here kissing right? God have catch you today.” My brother Enita, shouted and I stopped what I was doing.
Rose took her bucket with hand on her lips and ran away.
“Brother, you have allow my Rose to run away now” I whined.
“No oo, is not only Rose, you will see sunflower. You’re just 20 for Christ sake.” He yelled and I pouted.
“Brother, it just a kiss” I replied.
Enita’s POV
“Oh kiss my foot. At this time of your age, I don’t know what K.I.S.S is.” It was then I realized my English.
At this time of your age Silly me.
This boy wants to make me speak wrong grammar.
“You will not kill me. Now let’s go home!” I commanded.
