My love story❤: Part 2

When his flight landed in Abuja, he called to inform me and told me he couldn't wait to be with me any time soon again, I confessed same immediately.

The relationship was in it's 15th month and he's still the same guy. He's so truthful and he calls me every morning sometimes when he's dressing up for office, he puts the phone on loudspeaker and he continues with whatever he's doing or in the car at times. There's this ecstatic way he converse with me, 

''Hello mine❤ Good morning''

I have a standby response to that ''morning darling, guess you slept well?''

''Not really, I'm feeling a slight ache in my head and its unusual, I'm thinking of calling them at the office to inform them I might be absent today''

''Oh, sorry dear, but you slept early last night, what could have been the cause? have you tried using anything when you woke up?''

''I've ordered a breakfast menu and it would be delivered in no time, I'll take the pain relief drug when I'm done eating, let me just inform them I needed rest at the office, I'll be fine after then''

'Please just take care of yourself for me darling....

He cuts in ''my breakfast is here, hold on please'' (he was moving towards the door, it was opened and the conversation was faint then I heard thank you) ''That same guy brings my meal most time, he's courteous and hardworking, I seem to like him. I just hope his work gives him enough time for me to get to know him well maybe I can help him''

''Oh, it's fine. Just be careful. Please go and eat on time''

''Okay ma (we both laughed) let me drop the call then so I can call the office to inform them of my absence''

''Alright darling, I'll call you back in no time.''

I was just bothered that Monday morning, I kept calling every time to hear him say he's fine but there was a time he wasn't answering his calls again, that's quite unusual, he answers calls even when he's taking a nap. Ori mi o🙆 My thoughts were not adding up, I just didn't want to be negative. I kept muttering ''God please protect Alfred''

I didn't know anyone with him there, nobody. I was just destabilized. I kept trying if only he would pick up. I switched my data connection on to check his last seen on WhatsApp, it was the previous night. My God, what is happening now?

It was almost 5pm since our last conversation at noon, then his call entered with his office line. I didn't even allow my phone to ring

''Hello darling, you got me worried, I've been trying to reach you zillion times but you wouldn't just answer the call, there was nobody else I could call to ascertain you were fine, what happened?''

''I was robbed''

''You were what? How did it happen? By who? Where? Were you hurt....''

He cuts in ''you know the food delivery guy I just told you about this morning, he came back at noon to deliver my lunch and when I went to open the door for him, he threatened me with a gun and I had to keep my cool''

''Ahhhhhhh, people are wicked o, imagine how you described him so perfectly this morning thinking he was a godly person, he probably knows most things about you and that made him penetrated so neatly. Have you informed the police please? besides, what were the things he carted away?''

''He took my phone, laptop, wrist watch, chains and the money I have at home honourably, I felt he's just a bitter guy because he didn't even hurt me''

''No o, you can't feel that way, call the police right away because he can use those stuffs he took to implicate you and I'm sure you know how bad these guys can be. He didn't even switch your phone off, what arrant nonsense is that?''

''I'll do just that dear, I'll go write a statement''

''Hope you're feeling quite better now?''

''Very well, I will just buy a small phone and a new sim card to talk to you pending the time I get a new one''

Okay dear.

Our conversation became smooth again days after then, he updated me that the guy has been arrested and his phone has been tracked.

I told him I would be travelling back to school the following weekend and he said
''Tolu, Would you come pay me a visit in Abuja?''

It was as if I didn't hear him clearly, I'm still a mummy's girl o, what would I tell them at home? It was only my friend that knows him and that was all. Different thoughts.

He asked me if I don't trust him and I said I do but how will I travel to such a far place I've not been to. Fear gripped me not because of anything but because of the distance, I was still calm deep down in me that the person I was going to meet isn't just any person, he's my boyfriend, so, he wouldn't hurt me.

Then he got me dumbfounded, he said I would travel by air. 

Ehhhhhhhhh. I was overjoyous but I really didn't make him notice that in my voice. See Adventure o.

I told him I would come immediately I get back to school as I can't be allowed from home and he agreed.

I got back to school and fiam, it was Abuja way, nobody knew about it😉

To be continued

Happy new month FAM. May we experience joy and tranquility ❤
Virtual hugs🤗

Something big🔘

We all get happy when we hear our share is bigger than someone else's. Naturally as humans, we would always want more just like Oliver Twist. Shall I say we even hate to share things equally among others? We are most likely to negotiate with others to make them see reasons why we should have more of the normal share. Just like two people sharing the sum of #10,000, one may have to remind the other that he's older, whether he knows the person that gave them the money or maybe he worked more. So, I was eating pounded yam and egusi this afternoon (Well, I'm not willing to entertain any question about how I got the meal package sha). The meat was big and looks too gluttonous to be consumed but deep down I kind of like the fact that the meat was big. Most times, we want big things. Getting big pay, big contracts, big meats, big apartments even some guys like ''big and bang-bodied ladies.'' But wait, with all this big big stuff, what if someone gifted you a dress

Overcoming inferiority 🤳

  There are two sets of people reading this: those that have experienced my current state and those looking forward to it. Maybe I haven't said this but right now I'm blogging as a graduate. Yaaaay I'm not here to wail and narrate ordeals but you would agree with me the journey isn't bread and butter if you study in any of Nigeria's federal or state owned institutions. I want to believe that whoever has taken a step to pursue whether NCE, ND, HND, B.Sc/B.A/B.Ed/B.Agric/B.Tech, L.Lb or any other program in a tertiary institutions should be lauded indiscriminately. For someone like me, I would say it's the survival of the fittest. Almost weighed down and battling with inferiority complex among my friends in the university but at last I had to shake it off as in 'odeychi' Prior to this time, I mean about 5years ago during my ND, I always try to evade conversation that probe into where I school. I could remember how I would always lie to an admirer or any ot

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it.
