I got home and was thinking of what happened previously.
“But this girl doesn’t look rich to me”
“Or is she into aristo?”
“Abi na runs girl?”.
“But she doesn’t look like one”
“Abi na borrowed car?”
“But why does she had to oppress me with a car?”.
” Abi na grandma’s car?”
I was just asking myself a lot of rethorical questions as I sat down on my bed. I even got scared the more to ask her out. I couldn’t recover from the shame and embarrassment. I called her to check on her and she thanked me for hosting her earlier. I felt like asking her questions about the car but I don’t know how to go about it and I ignored. I then logged on to whatsapp to chat with my friend.
ME: sege, how far?

On the following week, I keep chating with betty and on the second week. I made my intentions known to her but she told me she isn’t interested in any relationship for now until she finishes her Msc programme.
She told me her dad is out of the country and owns a business empire in Abuja with branches in lagos, portharcout and Enugu. She told me that her mother is late and she has a elder brother who got married about 2 and half years ago. She also told me that her brother and her are the only children of their parents. We discussed a lot of things and we became more intimate. She saw me as a confidant and I saw her as one also.
I keep disturbing her that I loved her and wanted her to be my girl and she keep giving me the same response.
On the 26th of that month which was on friday. She told me that she would be returning to lagos on sunday so we agreed to meet on saturday at my house.
I sent my address details to Betty and she arrived at my house on that saturday afternoon. I entertained her and we started chating.
ME: betty, I’m going to miss you.
BETTY: I will miss you more dear.
ME: are you going on public transport?.
BETTY: why should I go on public transport when I have my own small car.
ME: **smiled** don’t mind me jaree. I thought it belongs to grandma.
BETTY: no, its mine, it was my graduation gift after finishing from the university with a 2.1.
Me: waooooh, what a brilliant girl.
BeTTY: don’t mind me jaree.
ME: please, I want to have your pictures on my phone so as to be looking at it whenever I miss you since I have been begging you to be my wife and you refused.
BETTY: haa! Onihaxy now, I’m not saying I can’t marry you, I only said I needed time for myself.
ME: anyway, I won’t loose hope nor give up until you become mine.
BETTY: **smiled***
ME: let me have your phone, I want to send few of your pictures to my phone.
BETTY: ***handed her phone over to me****, this is the phone.
I was scrolling through the phone and saw 3 of my pictures which she saved from BBM, I smiled as I continued scrolling and viewing her picture till I saw the picture of her carrying a small baby.
ME: ***called on her**** is this your baby?
BETTY: **came closer**** no, its my elder brother’s daughter. She is a year and 2 months old.
ME: ***scrolling through and saw a man**** who is this?
BETTY: that’s my elder brother. Bro Henry
ME: ok **continued scrolling until I saw a picture of her with a familiar face*** heeeee!!!, this face looks like someone I knew. Who is this?
BETTY: that’s the picture of my brother’s wife and I.
ME: your brother’s wife? ******looked at the picture again and wiped my eyes to make sure I’m seeing clearly****
BETTY: yes. My brother’s wife.
ME: what’s her name?
BETTY: aunty Bimpe.
ME: Bimpe!!, what’s her occupation?
BETTY: she is a nurse
ME: haaaaaa!!
BETTY: what happen?, did you know her?
ME: ** silent for a while**** not really, its just a resemblance with someone I knew.
I took to whatsapp to gist segun after betty’s departure on saturday.
ME: how far sege?
SEGE: oko bimpe, how you dey?
ME: you no well. I wan gist you jaree
SEGE: ehn ehn!!!, I dey listen.
ME: I have found bimpe
SEGE: tell me its a joke
ME: I’m serious
SEGE: how?, where? When?.
ME: you remember betty?
SEGE: the girl you met at eatery?
ME: yes
SEGE: what happened to her?.
ME: I found bimpe’s picture on her phone.
SEGE: that’s serious. Are they related?
ME: something like that.
SEGE: What was her explanation?
ME: she said bimpe is her brother’s wife.
SEGE: wife??, you mean bimpe is married?
ME: yes. married with a kid who is 15months old.
SEGE: are you serious onihaxy?
ME: I’m serious jor. I even sent the picture to my phone.
SEGE: send it to me and let me see
ME: ok ****shared picture with segun***
SEGE: hehehehehehe, na true ooooo, she don change ooo, she don add weight sef.
ME: abi oo.
SEGE: but e pain me sha
ME: say wetin?
SEGE: say no be you marry her ni. See as dem snatch my friend’s wife.
ME: you no well
SEGE: did you tell betty that you knew bimpe?
ME: not at all, I told her its only a resemblance.
SEGE: your head complete jaree.. But onihaxy, this is a battle line.
ME: as how?
SEGE: if bimpe finds out that you are relating with betty, she might use the girl against you and also use her to get back to you. Or probably poison her mind towards you.
ME: hmmmmmmm.
SEGE: and again, if bimpe finds out, she might think that you want to use betty to get back at her.
ME: hmmmmmmm.
SEGE: and if betty finds out that you and bimpe knew each other, she might want to dig up information about what transpired between both of you. And in the process, you might loose this new girl as a result of the revelation.
ME: hmmmmmmm, you too get sense. So what do I do?
SEGE: its now easy to get back at bimpe. But the issue is that. Are you ready to sacrifice this new girl?
ME: which girl?
SEGE: betty now
ME how?
SEGE: you can break bimpe’s home by revealing the dirty secrets to betty which will further transfer to her brother but the good news is that, she will never marry you after finding out that you once slept with her brother’s wife.
ME: hmmmmmm. I’m not ready to loose betty ooo. Infact, she is my last girl standing. If she just gave me a “yes”, na to marry straightaway.
SEGE: and bimpe also can not really hit back at you via betty because she has her own marriage to save and protect also.
ME: are you sure?
SEGE: trust me, I see things that you can’t see.
ME: so what do we do next?
SEGE: like I said earlier. This is a table tennis battle between you and bimpe while betty is the egg. It require a lot of wisdom. Just give me time to figure out what to do.
ME: that’s my nigga.
Betty travelled back to lagos the following day and we continued chating and talking on phone until a week later when I got a call from a number which I picked.
ME: hello
CALLER: its bimpe
ME: hee!!, bimpe, how are you?
BIMPE: fine, I just want to tell you that I saw your pictures on betty’s phone and she told me you guys met and have been talking. I just want to warn you. If you know what is good for you, just stay away from this girl completely and stay out of my family. Otherwise, I will make sure you see hell. ***hanged up***
*The battle lines are drawn*
