When I was through with segun’s call, I checked the balance on the phone and it was around 18naira, I purchased another airtime worth of N100 naira to call bimpe. I checked my phone and saw her contact and then dialled it in the vendor’s phone. It rang for a while before she finally picked it.
ME: hello bimpe,
BIMPE: *****silent*****
ME: hello oooooooo
BIMPE: hi onihaxy, how are you?.
ME: I’m fine. why aren’t you talking before?
BIMPE: just wanted to be sure that it’s you. shebi you said there won’t be any communications between us this period?.
ME: yeah, I said so. but there is a problem.
BIMPE: where are you? and where is betty?
ME: I’m far away from home while Betty is at home.
BIMPE: so what is the problem?.
ME: Betty found your watch in my room?.
BIMPE: she found what?
ME: your watch
BIMPE: oooooooh gosh. onihaxy, what exactly is your problem?. can’t you just keep things in order for once?. the last time, it was text message she saw, now it’s my watch. how on earth did that happen?
ME: she said she was doing some clean up and she saw it.
BIMPE: onihaxy, you are just so careless. why will you keep such item in a place where she would see it. don’t you have any other safe place in your house?. honestly I doubt it if you can manage two women together at a time.
ME: haaaaa.
BIMPE: yes. I have been living with both her brother and her in this house and I still communicate with you and no one found out. how come it’s always from you that mistakes do occur.
ME: I’m sorry about that
BIMPE: so what do we do now?
ME: I have a plan.
BIMPE: what is the plan?
ME: I will show her the medical report you sent to me and I will tell her that I came to your hospital for medical examinations from my bank, then I saw the watch on your hand and I liked it and wanted to get the same for her, so I collected yours as a sample to show a watch dealer in order to get the same for her.
BIMPE: ok, so what do you want me to do?
ME: I just wanted you to play along with me. she might want to call you or ask questions.
BIMPE: I just hope it works out. seriously, you are annoying onihaxy.
ME: no vex dear
BIMPE: ***hanged up*****
****chai!!!!!!!, BIMPE too dey vex!!!, then it means I seriously bleeped up******. I turned around to return the phone back to the vendor and I noticed she was shaking her head. ” chai, and I wan collect this girl number ooo. but as she don’t hear my conversations, na Bleep up be that”. I paid for the card and left the place. I checked my phone and I found out the battery was at 48%.
“what excuse will I give Betty for the unavailability of my phone?”. then I thought of draining the battery, I opened multiple application, started playing games and also playing music all at the same time. I board bus back to my house. on getting to my street, i stopped at a cafe to print out another copy of the medical result. i got to the front of my house and my battery level was 18%, I decided to spend more time standing outside and operating my phone until it shows ” battery too low for radio to use”.
I entered my room and Betty welcomed me with a hug and kiss. I sent her to get me a cup in the kitchen and i stylishly drop the report inside the bag I do carry to work before she returned from the kitchen.
she helped me in removing my shirt and dropped it in the wardrobe.
