After the call
I went to work and chat with my friend segun along side. I narrated my recent action to him and he told me I was getting smarter. We discussed how kemi’s package will look like, and trust my guy, he came with a very brilliant plan. He said we would act like brothers, I would be the elder brother while he would be the younger brother.
I smiled and said to myself, “hope say sege no go push me to jail some day sha”, but on a serious note, its good to have the good, the bad, and the ugly friends and I don’t even know the category that segun belongs to.
After closing for the day’s job at 5pm, I was so tired and I couldn’t stop over at segun’s house, I went home straight and fell over the bed to relax. At 7pm, my phone was ringing and I looked at the screen, it was my beloved kemi calling.
ME: hello love
KEMI: call me back please ***hanged up****
What is this girl up to?, haba!!!, she had never call for 3 minutes before, always saying “call me back”. I wait for like 10minutes before returning the call

KEMI: let’s see if I could sneak out tomorrow to see you. Hope your place isn’t far from here?
ME: no dear, its along the main road. If you take a bike, the bike man will drop you exactly infront of my house.
KEMI: please I won’t stay long outside because of my family, I don’t want them to suspect that I’m missing. So you would stay infront of your house and the same bike that brought me would takes us both to the outing.

KEMI: ok dear, take care
ME: bye ***hanged up********
I chat with segun after to call to gist him about kemi’s outdoor plans. I was so confused on how to convince her to bed. Segun assured me that I shouldn’t worry as he would take charge of everything. We had our last rehearsals that night on his plans of how to execute kemi’s parole.
8am the second day which was friday, I woke up very early. I had took a time off from work earlier on thursday on the pretence that I was sick and needed to go to the hospital for treatment. I changed my bedsheets, stocked my portable fridge with 3 can malts and fruits, I went to the nearby chemist to purchase a pack of condom and I sprayed the whole room with air refresher. Indeed, nobody cleans a house faster than a guy expecting a new girl.
9:25am, kemi flashed me and I called back,
ME: hello love
KEMI : hi dear.
ME: how was your night?
KEMI: it was fine. Where is my airtime?
ME: I’m sorry dear, I’m still on bed, I haven’t gone out yet
KEMI: why can’t you send your brother to buy it?
ME: he went out very early this morning and he hasn’t returned yet.
KEMI: send your address, I should be on my way any moment from now. And first thing, I will collect my airtime when I arrive.
ME: ok love, no problem.
KEMI: bye
ME: bye.
I sent the detailed address to kemi and I also inform my goon (segun) about kemi’s coming.
35minutes later, segun arrived fully dressed and pulling a leather box. We hugged and gist about how we would execute our plans neatly.
While we were having gists and fun. My phone rang and it was kemi calling.
ME: hi love, where are you?
KEMI: I just dropped from a bike at the front of your house, Please come outside and let’s hurry up, the bike-man is waiting.
ME: ok *****hanged up*******.
I turned to segun with a sad face full of disappointment. Segun saw the look on my face.
ME: segun, I’m not sure this plan will work out?
SEGE: why not leave all the plans to the event planner?.
ME: but she still insisted on waiting outside?
SEGE: mr maga, just calm down. Let’s go outside and welcome her, I will take charge of the situation. Trust me my guy.
ME: yes boss
We went outside together to meet kemi. As we stepped out of the door, I saw a young lady standing by a bike-man at the other side of the road. I was so disappointed in what I saw, kemi wasn’t as pretty and adoring as the lady I have been seeing on facebook. Her face looked so rough and full of spots compared to the clean and radiating face I have been seeing on facebook.
Is that the babe? “Segun asked me”. I guess so “I replied”.
Segun: chaiiiiii, this one wowoooo, very very ugly… too bad….
