"But Lina is not just any lady" I snapped
back at him...... "whether she is or not, all I want you to do is to forgive
him (pointing to Daniel where he stood at) for the sake of friendship" Ekony
pleaded. "Ekun, I heard you right, but I want you to help me ask this
traitor... "No no, why now Pen don't call him a traitor, after all as a true
friend, he has pleaded for forgiveness what else do you want" Ekony corrected.
"Whatever, help me ask him that is it true that he is truly dating Lina"
I said with a red eye on me. "Pen, I won't lie to you, see although I have
known Lina since this days even before you met her, I just decided not to let you
know because when I got her number through one of her friends and I have been trying
to get her but she kept on refusing and turning me down, but I noticed that right
from the day she met you, she has fallen in love with you drastically, even on the
last time we all went to eat in her hostel, It all showed on her face, so on seeing
this I decided to leave you guys together and keep away from her just for the sake
of friendship" Daniel narrated which one can read from his face that he's sincere
with what he said. "Then why did you save her number with "My Baby"?"
I continue loading him with questions. "That was the only mistake I made Pen,
I'm sorry Friend" Daniel said soberly.
On hearing what he said, my hands fell down, the
anger in me died rapidly and was converted
In to blame *Gbam gbam* I fell on the bed with
my eyes fixed on the ceiling like as if I was reading something through it. "Have
you now seen the truth of the matter clearly now" Ekony whispered in to my
ear. "To err is human....."Perry said in a preaching tone. "To Forgive
Is Divine" Wilson finished the quote.
Hearing this slogan from my friends, I knew that
I'm all at fault because, I did not find out patiently about the matter before bumping
in to action.
Suddenly I stood up halfway from the bed and gazed
through my friends face and to Ekony.
"Be quick man, you know what you should do"
Ekony corrected me in parables. "I'm Sorry Dan, I'm sorry about all I've done
to you, I did not waited patiently for the truth to unravel itself," I said
in an apologetic manner "I act like that because I've gotten too much love
for Lina, because she is my dream girl as you all know" I said in a remorseful
manner. "I understand brother, I too I'm at fault too, because I should have
told you earlier" Dan said with a smile on his face. "I know but I should
have known that 'To Err Is human' I said "To forgive is divine" Ekony,
Daniel, Perry chorused and we all laughed as we hugged each other.
After the settlement on that day, me and my friends
both went to the car park waiting for the bus to take each and every one to his
destination.
Getting back home to see my family was a great
privilege for me, the local dishes my mum used to prepare for me and overnight gist
I will always have with my sister "Niniola" (fondly
called Nilly by my dad and mom).
After we took the dinner together, I was still
at the parlour discussing with my mum and dad when my younger sister came to meet
interrupt our discussion. "Ehn Ehn, Big Bro, how is school" She said jokingly
as she jumped on the chair. "Throughout the afternoon, you did not ask of anything,
so it's now that I'm discussing with mum and dad that you think that you should
ask about school from me" I asked raising eyebrows at her because I knew where
she is driving at. "She's just a spoilt brat, maybe she want to ask of something
or somebody" My Dad said jokingly. "uhmmm, what of that aunty?" She
asked. "Which aunty again?" I blinked at her so that she won't burst
the matter. "wait oo, my king which aunty is your sister talking of?"
my mum jokingly said. "mum don't mind Nilly, she's just trying to be a naughty
girl" I said as I frowned at her (Nilly). "Mum, dad don't mind Bigbrother,
that aunty led me to the new apartment where he and his friends secured" Nilly
eventually burst the whole balloon. "So my king has finally gotten a lady"
My Mum and Dad said simultaneously. "Don't mind her oo, she's just not being
serious" I said but they had believed her already. 'Well it good son, just
make your Education your number one priority" my dad advised. "thank you
sir" I said making a bow. "No problem dear" my dad said. "When
you true children, make sure you switch off the TV, we going inside" My dad
and mum said. "you see (I turned to Nilly), I will kill you today, who told
you to tell dad and mum" I said as I sat down on her. "Yeeee, mummy big
brother don kill me oo" she shouted under me.
After a week at home, I was so happy without a
reason, I was chatting with Ekony, Daniel, Perry
and Wilson, on group chat when my mum called
me. "My King your phone is ringing, seems you have a call" my mother called
me from the kitchen.
As I got there, I found out that it was a strange
number. On picking it, I realized that it was Lina.
Myself:- Hello
The caller:- Are you at home?
Myself:- (immediately I recognize it is Lina)
yeah
Lina:- I know you knew it is me Lina
Myself:- yes I do
Lina:- Great, so come and open the gate, I'm
waiting for you outside
Myself:- What!!!!!!!!.......
