I'M IN LOVE Episode 7

"ahah why do you ask?" she asked me with a baffled look "hmm, you know Magarina is a man whom everybody has got a great flare for in politics and he was known to have a good reputation in the eyes of the poor, a stinky rich man, he had many things, and I know you knew him because he is always on the newspaper and article everyday" I narrated to her with some lovely gestures which made her laugh "oopppss, you're so funny pen" She jokingly said "so are you his daughter" I asked her with a serious look "Noo I'm not dear" she said as gazed away from my direction "but you resembled him and...." "it's okay, I said I'm not his daughter" she said as I noticed her voice raising "I'm sorry Lina" I apologize immediately "spare me please!!!!" she says as she shifted away from my direction *So she get angry easily like this* I thought "okay let go get ice cream before the next lecturer comes in" I jokingly said as I drag her in friendly manner "leave me alone jare" she childishly said "oya sorry now, *someone cannot play with you, is that how you use to do* "I said as I jokingly shrugged her ribs "she laughs, okay let me stand up by myself" she said putting up a little smile on her face showing that she's no more angry.

After the day's lecture, I was smiling till I got to our hostel which was on off a campus. On getting to our hostel, I met Ekony and Perry who were already devouring the Eba and ewedu soup which I guess is being brought by one of their side chicks/ As I entered, I was so happy that I did not even notice how the two of them were fighting over the two plates of Eba and Ewedu. I began to whistle around the whole room happily because I felt that I have beginning to have one of the greatest feeling I have ever had in my life "oh boy wetin happen to you today that makes you feel happy like this" Ekony said as he forcefully collected the Pot of Eba from Perry.

"I continued whistling” "Guy talk to us now, se you don hammer abi you don win Ferrari?" Perry asked as he continues to unwrap the third wrap of the finely prepared eba "she takes away my heart, she is the one that occupies my brain, I just can't but think of her" I began to soliloquize "it seems our friend is in love" Ekony said as he faces Perry who was already gulping down the last morsel of Eba in his hand "Ehn Ehn, Pen-Brain now tell me about the lady that got over your head and turn you to a baby" Ekony said jokingly "(faces Ekun and Perry) you guys can't understand, I said as I walk out on them after giving them a friendly pat on their shoulders.

"Any way lover boy come and take your own eba before Daniel comes, you know he's a lion when It comes to food" Ekony shouted behind me as he saw me entering the kitchen. "and I hope it's not that bitch that gat no respect for her *Baba okos*" Perry jokingly added. 

Right from that day that I and Lina spoke together we have been the best of friends, because we talk together like almost every blessed day both on WhatsApp and Facebook, to the extent that she is now free with me but she hasn't come to my house but we are best of friends.

Later that night, my phone rang and seeing she is the one, I smiled, I picked it up.

Lina:-         Hello pen-brain

Myself:-     Hello babygem  *I murmured*

Lina:-         What did you say?

Myself:-    *Laughs* nothing jare, how you?

Lina:-         You not serious, you just too funny to be with

Myself:-     And you too

Lina:-         Well I love your company today, I called to thank you very much

Myself:-      I did for a purpose

Lina:-         Ohh, and the purpose is what

Myself:-     I don't know

Lina:-         You're a naughty boy

Myself:-     And you're a baby gem

Lina:-        *She laughs*, but help me plead to your friends about how I reacted to them the other

day

Myself:-     No problem

Lina:-        Okay thank you dear

Myself:-   But Lina if I may ask, what happened to you the other day that made you so sad and dejected

Lina:-        Hmmmm, pen!

Myself:-    Yes dear

Lina:-        It's a long story

Myself:-    And do you wish to let me know?

Lina:-         I will tell you everything but not now

Myself:-    Okay dear

Myself:-    Same here.

As days turned in to weeks and weeks turns into months our second semester exam has been

fast approaching, all the girls and guys that do form before are now staying glued with their books because nobody want to find him/herself in the *relegation zone*.

I and my friends were studying when I heard my phone ringing, slowly I picked it up but I was baffled when I saw the name on it *Lina*. Hurriedly I dropped my book, Ekony and my friends were staring at me but *mi o worry*. 

 

*I picked it up*

Lina:-        Hello Pen *her voice sounds so cold*

Myself:-    Hello dear what happened to you, your voice sounds so babyish

Lina:-        I'm trying to read but I am not gaining anything at all

Myself:-    Ahaha why?

Lina:-        I don't know

Myself:-    Then what do you want to do now?

Lina:-      Maybe you should come around to my house now, when I see you maybe I will gain something. On hearing this, my heart sank in to my legs.

Myself:-    What did you just say now?
