BIMPE: hahahahahahahha.
ME: why the laughter now?,
BIMPE: should I tell you the truth?
ME: what?
BIMPE: she is travelling to meet that guy I told you about, not her dad, remember I told you they have been exchanging romantic calls and also making plans.
ME: what ????????.
BIMPE: stop screaming what!!!! And better act fast
ME: ok, what can I do now?
BIMPE: onihaxy, let’s talk later, henry is coming downstairs,
ME: ok
BIMPE: don’t forget to clear your chat dear
ME: ok, bye.
After ending the chat, I cleared it and I was so restless and uncomfortable, I was roaming around the room and my heart was beating so fast and heavier,
“Why is this happening to me?”
“Why is it now that I’m ready to get serious that this is happening?”
“Is this nemesis?”
“Could this be real?”
I became uncomfortable that even my cousin and other roomates began to question me and I told them I was fine. I couldn’t think straight again and I had to go back to segun on whatsapp.
ME: hi sege
SEGE: oko bimpe, how far?
ME: I dey jaree
SEGE: any update on that parole?
ME: the thing don pass me oooo.
SEGE: wetin happen? You don call betty?
ME: yes, I did that not quite long
SEGE: so how far?
ME: I told her I wanted to see her tomorrow, she said she has a wedding to attend. I suggested next weekend and she said she will be travelling to abuja to visit her dad.
SEGE: ok, maybe you should see her during the week or wait till she returns, or what do you think?
ME: that’s not even the problem
SEGE: so what is it?
ME: immediately after the call, bimpe chat with me and she told me that betty isn’t going to visit her dad, and that it’s the guy she is visiting.
SEGE: hmmm, so hard to believe sha. Have you ever suspected her of anything like that before?
ME: never, infact her phone is always with me whenever we are together.
SEGE: has she ever told you about any guy in abuja before?
ME: not at all.
SEGE: this thing is complicated. As much as I don’t want to trust bimpe, she is evil right from onset, I still think betty might be hiding something, how can a grown up girl like that not be working despite having a rich family, and also, she can’t just be like that and not have richer guys disturbing her. But this same girl has been helping you so far now?, and why is bimpe telling you all these?
ME: that is where I’m more confused, I’m even thinking of confronting her with the truth.
SEGE: oloshi “idiot”, and where will you tell her you got the information from?
ME: eeeeehm bimpe na
SEGE: ode ni e “U’re a fool”, and what was your relationship with bimpe that made her to be supplying you informations?, don’t you know you will arouse suspicion in her? and also cause problem in her family?, and besides, how will you get another information when you burst this one?, use your head now.
ME: ok, what do you want me to do now?
SEGE: just calm down, whether she is planning to settle with another guy or not, you have nothing to loose, she had been the one helping you all this while and not the other way round. So don’t approach this matter in a way that will scatter everything. Just do it this way,
ME: how?
SEGE: call her tomorrow or next tomorrow, tell her you had a terrible dream, and you need to discuss things with her about the dream, with that, you will get her attention first.
ME: hmmmm, sege the event planner!!!!, and what will be the content of the dream sir?
SEGE: fine, tell her you saw her in the dream that an old man whom you suspected to be her father was handling her over to another guy for marriage and she dumped you for the guy, and you were crying in the dream.
ME: hmmmm, will it work?
SEGE: just try it and present it in a way that she won’t suspect bimpe, and let’s see what will happen next.
The following day, I was just bored and worried at home, I just sat down and began to flash back to all that happened during the week. I thought of bimpe’s accusations against betty, I thought of betty’s decision to travel to Abuja and how the incident matched what bimpe told me, I thought of bimpe’s past bad record of evil, I thought of her recent love feelings towards me, I thought of what segun told me and I was just confused.
“Could this be true?”
” What if betty is actually dating another guy?”
” What will then be my fate?”
” Is betty hiding something?”
” Will the dream scope of segun work?”
” What if she broke the news to me that it is
real?”
” Will bimpe be an alternative?”
“Will I start girl-hunting all over again?”
” What do I do next?”
” Will bimpe be an alternative?”
“Will I start girl-hunting all over again?”
Different thoughts and question began to flood my heart and I was getting confused the more.
I looked at the clock and it was 7am, I picked my phone and wanted to call betty, I just don’t know where to start from and how to present and arrange the dream, I had to drop my phone again to engage in another round of thinking.
At few minutes to 8am, betty called me and I was afraid to pick up because I still don’t know how to present the dream or react to her on phone. After the fifth missed call, she sent me a text telling me she had left home for ikorodu. I remained silent and moody inside the room and decided to watch a movie. I was watching the movie until around 12pm when Adebimpe initiated a chat and I responded, I began to flow along with her chat and before I knew it, I was already two hours gone on the keypad, I was just smiling and laughing as bimpe was cracking so many jokes and I reciprocated, I suddenly found adebimpe interesting on chats that I was carried away and I forgot that she was once my sworn enemy.
At around 3pm, I decided to call betty and apologised for not picking her calls on the grounds that my cousin took my phone out, I tried breaking the dream to her but I found my heart skipping beats and I decided to let it go that day.
The following week, I resumed back to the bank and continued with my project and working well to meet up with the daily targets and to also get along with funmilayo my boss whom I stayed at her entrance.
During break on Wednesday in one of my chat sessions, betty told me she would be travelling on friday morning.
ME: friday morning? That’s next tomorrow?
BETTY: yes dear, I will definitely miss you honey
ME: sweetheart, I will miss you more. I don’t even know how to cope with your absence.
BETTY: don’t worry dear, I will be back soonest
ME: when will you be back?
BETTY: can’t really say, but at most, I will stay for two weeks.
ME: ok dear. That reminds me.
BETTY: what is that dear?
ME: *** gathered courage*** I had a terrible dream about us last night.
BETTY: terrible dream?, tell me about it dear
ME: I saw an old man whom I suspected to be your father, he was wearing the same native dress with another man, I also saw another young man and the four of you are seated in a big parlour.
BETTY: what happened next?
ME:, the first man handled you over to the second man and the young boy, then I entered the room. I asked you what was going on and you told me you have been handled over to the son of your father’s friend for marriage. I tried protesting but the four of you chased me out and I sat down outside and began to cry. That was when I woke up.
BETTY: *****silent with no response after reading*********
ME: hello!!!!!!!, hello!!!!!!!!!!!!.
After waiting for about 4 minutes without response, I decided to call her on phone.
ME: hello betty
BETTY: ****faint voice***** hello onihaxy,
ME: what happened, you aren’t responding on chats again, what happened?
BETTY: nothing, I was just speechless and don’t know what to type.
ME: you are speechless?, betty, what is going on.
BETTY: onihaxy, there is something I want to tell you, but please, wait till I’m back from Abuja,
ME: huuuuh, betty, why not now dear?, you know I hate suspense.
BETTY: just be patient, when I return, I will tell you everything.
ME: is it related to my dream?
BETTY: just wait till then.
ME: ok dear
*****what could this girl want to tell me?, can this be true?, haaaaaa, it seems bimpe was right!!!!, what could the suspense gist be all about ooooooooooo??********
