chapter 4
I felt butter knife pierced through my left chest.I waited for more texts in anxiety.
The conversation prolonged:
Bema : I'm sorry for my awkward behavior towards you at the hall premises and my late replies. I do enjoy your company and you have proved me wrong on thoughts I had about guys. I wish I could give you a chance but I'm sorry I can't.
Me: But, why please?
Bema: I don't hate you .I'm unprepared for relationship drama. We can't date.
Me: This could be your chance to explore more, I promise not to bother you with relationship matters, I would still see to that aspect of your life.
"You would obviously date and it's better with who you know well", I suggested
I tried every means to convince her but as I said, once she decides, forget about convincing her.
I promised myself not to give up too soon .
I needed her in my life so bad that I considered every possible way of winning her.
I finally accepted her predicament. She had told me she had to get something for her mum and went offline.
I stared on my phone screen till it went dim and lowered it down my pocket.
This had been the moment Kobby was waiting for ,😂. I had no one to talk to besides him.
This time I felt hesitant to disclose my melancholy. I got hungry at that instant so I walked in the street oblivion to get some food.
I got myself a hot pie and creamy yoghurt. You bear with me I deserved a little cheering.
As soon as I got home...I felt vibration in my pocked.
I took out my phone and guess what,
It was Kobby.
" Yo", I answered
Kobby: Chale! Chale!.
Kobby is one friend that prefers Pidgin language to our English.
Me: what's up bro?
Kobby: Mtsw, Barcelona spoil ma bet rydie naa.
(I just lost a soccer gamble)
Me : You never change, you could have sent me the money to spend since you were ignorant on it's wise usage.
Kobby: Ah! You fool er ? Abeg send me some momo make ago buy cho er.
(Enough fool, please just send me some money for food).
Me: Bro, forget about that issue. I'm not dumb. I have nothing for you. I'm certain you will invest it into your gambling career 😂
Something is up oo.
Kobby: Take your body jon.
Woman matter?
Me: Finally, I proposed to Bema.
"Hahaha, so you have a girlfriend now, oh congratulations don" he gave an ironic laughter.
"I know you just want to mock me.
Well she bounced me ", I uttered
He burst into uncontrollable laughter.
He begun to make fun of me but I quickly quit the call.
Two weeks before High School, I prepared all my needs for school and I left my sister to have sometime with mummy .
Mummy ran to give me a warm hug when I got out of Uncle Ben's ash saloon car.
She called on a young lady to take my luggage to my room which was already tidied.
Mum was very excited to see me. She could not resist asking questions here and there.
It had been years since we met so we sat and shared stories with each other.
My stay was very entertaining. Mummy overindulged me and made me feel like a little kid.
Every morning,the first sentence was
"Emma, wake up breakfast is ready",she would call out.
She never wanted to hear me quiet so always engaged me.
All along , Bema and I were still texting. We had exchanged contact before I left.
The vibe between us grew much stronger each day.
Anytime I woke up,I never missed my good morning text.
Before bed, I made sure I said good night. We grew fond of each other.
We could not go a day without talking to each other.
She had no strings attached meanwhile I was sinking in love.
Anytime I brought about dating, she skipped that chapter.
Well, after all I had gotten her attention a bit and built the vibe.
Before I realized, I had two more days to depart to High School.
I traveled back home and was very anxious pondering on how life in high school would be like.
On the Sunday evening, we talked on phone from 9pm to about 12pm.
We said goodbye a number of times.
"Emma , there is something I need to tell you"...she whispered.
