ME: ***furious and angry*****
bimpe, why did you do this to me?
BIMPE: onihaxy, I have no
choice, I have to protect the only two people that I cherish so much, Daniella
and you.
ME: ** smashed the cup on the
floor*** and did I ask for your protection?, since when did you start
patronising herbalist?
BIMPE: **** scared and pulled
backwards*** I’m sorry onihaxy, I’m just bothered that
you might tell your friend, and from there, it will start spreading like wind.
but the deed is already done, and its irreversible. Let’s
Just stick to the covenant please .
I looked at her with so much
disgust, bitterness and hatred, with the broken pieces of the glass cup in my
hand, I felt like piercing her face and giving her a heavy punch of life, I
felt like designing her face with the broken glass, But I thought of it that
what will be my explanation if she got wounded?.
I thought of it that the
hotel management might arrest me if I wound her. I thought of it that betty and
henry will eventually find out that I was in hotel with bimpe. How will I
explain what I was doing with a married woman in the hotel room to the extent
of injuring her. I thought of it that I can’t even explain what
prompt my anger because my mouth had been sealed with kolanut oath.
I thought of what I will
explain to betty on why I was caught inside hotel room with her sister inlaw
who used to hate me. I thought of the sick daniella lieing on the hospital bed.
I just looked at her again
with disgust, picked up my credentials, smashed the remaining piece of glass in
my hand to the floor and dropped the cloth she bought for me on the floor. I
walked towards the door, held the door handle and turned back at her.
“BImpe!!!!!”
” Don’t ever in your life
dial my number again”.
” Don’t ever in your life
cross my path again”
“Infact I don’t want to see you
again in my life”.
” I hate you with passion”
” I hate you for life”.
I uttered words in annoyance
as I banged the door so hard and I walked towards the reception, I was about
stepping out when I heard a voice from behind saying “excuse
me sir”
Excuse me sir”
ME: ***turned back with a
frown*** Hello.
RECEPTIONIST: we are sorry to
bother you sir. Please spare us few minutes.
ME: ***walked closer*** what
for?
RECEPTIONIST: ***picked a
landline and dialling a number*** for security purpose, we are instructed to
always call our customers’ room whenever a guest leaves the room.
ME: no problem
RECEPTIONIST: ***on call for
few seconds***
ME: ***looked at the entrance
and saw two hefty security guards**** “thank God I didn’t
try anything funny, I for hear am today ooooooooooo”.
So can I go now?
RECEPTIONiST: yes sir, you
are free sir, we are so sorry for any embarrassment sir.
ME: its ok, but what was that
meant for?
RECEPTIONST: a customer was murdered
by her guest last week, that’s the reason for the
new security policy.
ME: **smiled**, its ok, you
are welcome.
I left the hotel building and
thanking God that I was able to control my anger and rage. I took a bus
returning to oshodi and on my way, different thoughts began to flood my mind.
“Could this oath be real?”.
“What if its real?”
“Do I even need to tell anyone?”
“What if it was a poison and not a oath?”
“How to I explain to segun if he asked me about the
property?”,
I got to oshodi and took
another bus to mushin, I got home, started packing my things and planning to
return to Ado that same day, I put a call to my betty.
ME: hello dear
BETTY: hi love, I was about
calling you
ME: really?
BETTY: yeah, daniella will be
discharged tomorrow morning, so we are expecting you on saturday
ME: eyah, and I was about
telling you that I will be leaving for Ado today.
BETTY: huuuuh onihaxy, but
why na?
ME: nothing dear, just wanted
to settle some stuffs.
BEtTY: onihaxy, but today is
thursday na. Please love, please wait, my brother really wants to see you
concerning our relationship.
ME: as how?
BETTY: as in, I told him lots
about you, so we want to make it an official introduction.
ME: will bimpe be there?
BETTY: offcourse now, where
else would she be?
ME: ***hissed*** ok dear.
BETTY: onihaxy wait a minute,

ME: never mind jaree.
BETTY: hmmmmm, I thought you

ME: yeah.
SEGE: ok, I dey expect a
pussy today, and she don arrive, chat with you later.
ME: hmmmmm, bad boy.
I ended the chat and was just
smiling because of the kind of friend I have. He so much understand me more
than anyone else.
9pm when I was about going to
bed, I got a text from an unknown number. I opened it and it read
” darling. Please I’m so sorry for what
happened today, I’m so sorry for upsetting you and I so much appreciate
how you controlled your anger and rage. I did that today just because I love
you and don’t want to loose you. You might not understand it now,
but you will understand later. Also, there is something I want us to discuss,
probably later. Love you so much honey. And don’t
forget the rule please. From someone who truly cares.”.
I was like me?, Bimpe?
,love?, honey? Don’t want to lose me?, what is these?.
