I Miss You

CHAPTER 13

That very day I was making hair for a customer when uncle jerome called me on phone to inform me that he is in our house with a visitor. He wanted me to come back home as soon as possible.

I told him that I was busy with a customer but he won't listen. He insisted that I should come immediately. He stated that the visitor is a very important one.

I told them to go home and come back in two hours time. I knew already why he was calling me.

"It must be that mr Efetebor's son has finally landed in nigeria.

I don't feel anything for him, and besides I don't see myself getting married to a total stranger; not even for money sake.

I quietly made my customer's hair until it was to her satisfaction.

She paid me for the job well done, and went went home.

I sat on my chair thinking about my life and uncle Jerome's proposal. I couldn't help thinking about the father of my child too; the man after my heart.

I wondered what I did wrong to make him abandon me in such a manner. He didn't even have the decency to break up with me properly.

I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice my phone ringing out loud. It was until miss Bimbo tapped me that I realized I had been gone for so long.

I checked who was calling, and it turned out to be uncle Jerome; he wanted to let me know that they are still waiting for me in my house.

I wondered what kind of man Mr Efetebor's son is that he is patiently waiting for a lady who clearly isn't interested in him.

I wasnt happy at what is going on; standing on the ground that everyone in my house is aware that I am still in love with my baby's father.

"Aah is true I am not supposed to let anyone aside my family to know that she is my daughter.

" Mom thinks that the villagers knowing will not only disgrace our family, but will also chase away my suitors.

It's not like I needed them anyways" I thought

I am currently in that phase of my life where I leave my life in the creator's hand so that he can do with me whatsoever he wants.

"Anywhere he wants to take me, then there I will be" I thought

Currently I don't even have the strength to debate or argue with anyone concerning what is right and what is not any longer.

"It is not as if God ever plans to give me what I want" I thought

"I let damian's thought over cloud my mind at night, when others are  asleep, and I leave myself to yearn for him at that oddly hour of the night when every where becomes silent.

At the daytime I am allowed to have multiple thoughts, and imaginations, including thoughts of uncle Jerome and Efetebor's son.

I came back home, only to sight the handsome fresh looking guy sitting with my parents and uncle. He looks calm, just that he is not my spec.

I had to pretend to laugh, smile, and feel every single emotion that the pear felt; except love.

We were told to exchange numbers which we did. He called me severally to check up on me, then he ask after my family.

Most times he asked after olaedo; I couldn't help but notice him staring at olaedo back at the meeting.

I called olaedo and asked her what she thinks about him, and she said he is good looking, and gentle. I couldn't help but also notice the radiance on her face as she spoke about him.
