"Hey Bolu , what's up", asked Ade as he saw me come into the room
" Forget about the guy, you have to reflect on your result, you have a long way to go young man and yet you have performed woefully, this is the consequence of being nothing but a womanizer", said Raymond
"Why are you only bothered by my life what about Bolu's , you didn't even bother to ask him about his result", said Ade as he sat down
"Bolu is not like you, you think you are as brilliant as this grandson of Albert Eistein here , oh yeah didn't your dad say he was going to give you a car this... Oh I'm so sorry, Bolu , I'm really sorry", said Raymond almost immediately as he looked at me
"That's true Bolu , don't be sad okay, remember when I promised you that if you get a good score I will get you a girlfriend", said Ade
And there he goes again
"If you are to give him such a condition, the guy will never run out of girlfriends because he's our scholar", said Raymond smiling as he held me
" Yeah he is right ", I finally spoke up as I looked at them
" Why does Bolu look like he wants to eat us ", asked Ade
"Oh yeah Bolu what is wrong with you, remember you can always talk to us , we are a family okay", said Raymond as he pulled us all together
This is getting weirder, is he confessing his love for me
"I was just wondering how life would have been if I hadn't met you guys, thanks so much for everything", I said as I looked at them with all sincerity
"We are a family remember, we stick together, stay together , fight together , drink together ,we laugh together and we love one another because that's what makes us a happy family", said Raymond
"Just say you love us ", said Ade
And there he goes again 🤦
"So what was your score ",asked Ade
"You really want to know ", I asked him
"Yeah ", said Ade
"Are you sure you want to know", I asked obviously enjoying teasing him
"Yes now", said Ade
"Are you still sure you want to know ", I asked smiling innocently
"Oh come on ", said Ade as he left me alone
"Oh I got 5.0 ", I said smiling while he turned back and gave me an angry look while I couldn't help but to laugh
Whenever I remember those days when we were together , whether during the fighting , teasing or laughing, I would always want to smile but I just couldn't because everything is over.
When I first came to the university, I had a lot of dreams, a lot of wishes yet to be fulfilled but I believed in God, I trusted him the most in my first three years as a biochemistry Student, but what did I ever do to him to deserve losing my parents, my finances,my source of joy, why has he taken so much from me that I couldn't afford to give, why ? Why?
I'm used to the silence, God doesn't see me as someone who was in dire need of his help because if he did he would have seen me so He doesn't exist, he really doesn't
Present:2020
"Mr Ezekiel, Mr Ezekiel , Mr Ezekiel", said one of the council members as he felt angry at the man staring right at him yet so lost in thought
On realising that I had paced out again, I apologised
"We would like to hear from you, the account of what took place on the 16th of July 2019", said another member
"I could remember in the past few months I have been allowed to appeal, I had the best time screaming and telling them repeatedly that I wasn't the one who killed Raymond, I was innocent with no one to believe me so why the h* ll I'm I brought here if no one would listen to me , why am I called here despite the fact that my execution date had been set ,still determined to force me into giving a false account of what truly happened, they only want to hear my lies nothing but the lies, where are you o Lion of Judea , I need you o Lord",
Fear not , I am with you , a voice said to me and that was all I needed to live.
