💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
“Teju, don’t talk like that.”Maria said soothingly.
“He left without a word. Maybe he never forgave me. Maybe he left full of pains and hatred for me.”I reeled towards Maria.
She held me ti-ght. I felt sweat trick-ling down my face. I felt a pang of pain in my head, I knew it c@m£ from my br@in. My
eyes shut gently despite my efforts to keep them open.
Everything was wrong with my b©dy. I screamed, my b©dy shook convulsively. I heard Eniola’s cry, David said something,
but their voices was distant, I was far-gone
🌟
I winced silently as I felt something pinch my wrist, I must have had a long night, I thought.
“Yes Doctor, this is the fifteenth bag of drips.”
I heard a female voice say.
“hmn, her pulse? Still normal?”a familiar male voice asked her.
“no, its a bit fas-ter Doctor.”the female voice replied.
“Lemme check her heart beat.”
where the eff was I? Who did they give drip?
Whose pulse was a bit fas-ter?
I felt something cold on my che-st, I resisted all temptations to open my eyes, I was to lazy to do that.
“Yikes! Her heart beat is too fast!”the male voice exclaimed.
Just then my eyes flew open, I took a quic-k glance round me, I was on a hospital be-d, doing what? How did I get here?
A smallish woman was standing at my feet in a white uniform, maybe she’s a nurse.
“Doctor?”she g@sped pointing at me. She looked visibly scared.
But why? Am i a ghost.
“oh my God!”a male voice exclaimed.
I turned to the direction, Dr Raymond was standing there.
“What happened to ‘you, ‘God’” I snapped. I was getting irritated by the way they were staring at me like they’ve seen a ghost.
They didn’t reply, I made to sit up.
“Ouch!”drip nee-dle got pu-ll-ed away.
“What happened to…”
“We nee-d to conduct some checks on her quic-kly”Dr Raymond said trying to hold me.
“Take your hands off me jor!”I pushed his hands away.
“What am I doing here?”I skrie-ked at them.
“Ask Mr David to come in.”Raymond told the nurse.
“Oh Jeez!”David exclaimed as he marched towards me.
“She’s awake? Oh my God!”he told the doctor before hvgging me.
“We thank God”he laughed looking me all over, like what I don’t know.
“What happened?”I frowned at him.
“Baby we nee-d not talk about that now…”
“I insist.”I snapped
“You’ve been unconscious for 7 day now…”Dr Raymond began to explain.
“uhm?”I was getting more confused.
“You had a shock, convulsed, bec@m£ unconscious and…”he shrugged.
“I had a shock, convulsed, bec@m£ unconscious and…”I mimicked him.
“How?”
David shook his head
“Mummy!”Eniola squealed rushing towards me.
“Lil’ cutie..”I hvgged and k!$$£d her.
“Mummy, I thought you won’t come back again…I’ve been crying since o”she snuggled at me.
“Mummy, don’t fall again you hear? Don’t sleep that kind of sleep again, you hear?”she rattled on.
“Kpele- sorry”I heard Maria’s voice.
How did she get here?
Just then, different episodes began to di-psl@ybefore my mind’s eye.
I remembered been told my father was dead, and…maybe that was how I got here.
“Maami…”I whispered as I hvgged her, she looked worn-out and lean. She shook as she wept on my shoulders.
“I don’t think she’s strong enough to bear such emotions.”Dr Raymond cautioned Maria.
“I’m sorry.”She pu-ll-ed herself away from my grip.
My head began to ache badly. So it’s true?
Very true that my father was gone! I now a complete orphan.
My only as-set was gone. I ran my f!ngersthrou-gh my cornrows.
“Don’t cry.”David dabbe-d some tears of my face.
I didn’t stand a chance to apologise to my father for all the wrongs I did.
“young lady, due to your health condition, you are not supposed to be …”Dr Raymond began to say.
“Hold your peace!”I raised a hand interrupting him.
“Do you know what it means to lose someone dear to you?”I asked him slowly.
“I’m the reason why he died. He couldn’t bear my abs£nce. My Father loved me but I failed him, now here am I…all alone…”
“St©p casting blames on yourself plea-se.”Maami patted my back.
“I wish.. I wish…”I sobbe-d as I hvgged her.
“You are not alone, I’m here, as your.mother.”Maria told me slowly.
So she forgave me, after all I did to her..,.
“I’m here too..”David whispered
“mummy, me too!”Eniola sniffed, she’d been crying too.
I shook my head slowly, I wished my father would just appear and tell me he’s there for me too… only his pres£nce counts more than anything…
💘
I sighed tiredly as I rested my head on maria’s l@ps, we just c@m£ back from Ibadan,- she’d taken me to see my Father’s
people.
“that’s how it happened o.”she concluded her half-heard story.
“hmm”I closed my eyes.
“If you want to sleep, lie down properly now.”she said adjusting my position.
“Grandma, you’ll be staying with us koh?”Eniola asked.
“Yes, for a while o, I’l be going back to Ibadan.”She explained.
“No maami, I don’t want you to go, plea-se stay with me. ”I pleaded with her “Me too..”Eniola pouted.
“see this children o.”Maria laughed
“Okay I’ll stay small oo”
“Yeeee!”Eniola hvgged her.
“Mummy, lemme go and pl@ywith Tola?”she asked me.
I nodded.
“Don’t injure yourself o”Maria cooed after her.
“Teju omo mi, there’s something I want us to discuss, though I know, it might sound some how…”she hesitated.
“Uhum?”I shut my eyes.
“Teju, don’t sleep, let’s talk plea-se.”she shook me.
“Okay, tejumola is all ears.”I laughed sitting up.
“My dear, you know, every mother wants something good for her child… ”she began.
“As a child progresses in life, there are different things he or she nee-ds to do…”she hesitated.
“hmm.”I wondered where all the sermon’s were coming from.
“Teju, let me ask you, how old are you?”
“24 na!”I chuckled.
“Good, according to the societal law, you are supposed to be in your husbands house…”she paused to see my facial expression.
I gave her a de-ep frown.
“this style of you living alone, fending for your self is not just it, you nee-d a man in your life Teju. A man who would take good
care of you.”she explained.
I mumbled some words.
“Ehn? What did you say? Abi the men are not coming?”she searched my eyes.
I looked away. Left for me, I would never marry.
“Take David for example, I mean, Eniola’s father. The boy seems to be all over you,
ehn? You don’t nee-d a future teller to tell you he wants you…”she was beginning to sound excited.
“hmmm Maami, you re-ad meanings into things o, I and David are just close cos of Eniola, if not, I have no deal with him.”I
began to say.
“Heehn! You think I’m blind? The way he use to talk to you, the way he use to…”
“Maami…ah!”I cut her short.
“All I want from you is to consider him.”she said adamantly.
“Ehn! I’ve heard, can I sleep now?”I rolled my eyes.
“omo yi…hmn, Your still stubborn, when will you change?”she laughed lying down beside me.
“Well that’s when my name changes from Tejumola.”I laughed with her.
Soon Maria was fast asleep, but I remained awake. Different thoughts flooded my mind.
She wanted me to get married, sure that’s right.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💗💗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Soon Maria was fast asleep, but I remained awake. Different thoughts flooded my mind.
She wanted me to get married, sure that’sright.
But I don’t think I’m re-ady to take any poo from some Adam’s generation…
Talking about David, he’s putting up some moves recently.
Those unnecessary things he would buy, knowing too well I’d use them, The regular shoppings all in the name of shopping for Eniola.
I know he’d give anything to have us together, but I just can’t bring myself to accept that. Tejumola isn’t that cheap!
“Mummy! Daddy is here!”Eniola yelled from outside.
“Daddy what did you buy for me? Ehn?”she asked loudly.
“Mummy see ooo”she bashed into the room.
I jumped up swiftly, adjusted my dress.
“Hy.”I greeted David as he walked in.
“Hy…that’s a nice dress.”he made to hvg me.
“Thanks.”I backed away.
He shrugged
“Mummy, see, my daddy bought me ice cream, chocolate, and…and…and…”she sounded happy.
“And samosa.”David helped her out.
“Samosa! What kind of name is that one?”Eniola laughed.
“Grandma see!”Eniola told Maria who was exchanging plea-santries with David.
“Oma se oooo, ah! Daddy Eniola thank you o.”Maria said to the amusement of Eniola.
I shifted from one feet to another, I could feel David’s eyes boring into me. This man should st©p looking at me na! I frowned.
“Did I tell you I love that dress?”David asked not minding Maria was listening.
I grimaced.
“Actually, I c@m£ to see you…we’ve gat some talks to do.”he wore one of those s£dûçt!vesmiles.
Don’t even waste your time o! I wanted to tell him.
He walked gently to the door “I’d be waiting outside.”
I nodded, waited for sometime, before following him.
I got into the car beside him, waited for some minutes for him to say something.
Each time I turned I met his probing gaze…
“You didn’t call me here to stare at me right?”I said avoiding his eyes.
“Yea and nay.”he chuckled.
I don become this guy pla-ymate shebi? I asked myself.
“Look,I’ve got something important to…”
“That thing can wait!”he cut me short.
“Teju…”he began softly.
I felt my heart melt.
“I want us come together as one, you know too well how much I’ve wanted you as my half…”
“For Eniola’s sake right?”I heard my self say
“C’mon that’s cold! Count Eniola out of this. We’ve been together before Eniola c@m£… .”he continued.
“we weren’t together, you left me when…”I began to say.
“I didn’t leave you!”he cut me
“I left for school, If I had known you were pregnant-I’d have stayed back.”he tried to explain.
“Now, what do you want?”I folded my hands across my che-st.
“I want us to get married.”he replied in a husky voice.
“Married?”I laughed.
He nodded saying
“plea-se…”
“I don’t know.”I said quitely.
“What don’t you know?”He tea-sed
“I…I…nee-d some time to think.”I replied trying to get out of the car.
“Teju..”he gr!pp£dmy arm.
“You and I know, you don’t nee-d to think.
We both know we love each other and would want to be together forever.”he said quietly.
I open my mouth to speak but couldn’t. He was right, I love him.
He was my dream man!
I exhaled sharply.
“Is that a yes?”he mumbled, his hands drawing imaginary shapes on my l@ps.
I pushed his hands r0ûghly away.
“Thank you for accepting me Baby.”He said sweetly, swaying towards me.
I shifted to the extreme end of the seat, pressing myself against the door.
“Love you baby.”He pu-ll-ed me towards him.
“No, David don’t… .”His k!ssst©pped the remaining words
“We can’t do this.”I m0aned catching my breathe.
“Can’t do what?”he tea-sed, ni-bbling at my ear lobes.
I felt his hands sliding un-derneath my dress…I took a swift journey to heaven within a few seconds and c@m£ back.
I could feel his h!ps pressing against mine, …what more could I ask for?
“David plea-se…”I tried to break free.
He let me go smilimg lazily.
“When last did we…”
I hurried out of the car before he could complete his s£ntence.
I could hear him laugh, I wanted to laugh too.
I nee-ded to tell Maami everything, we’re getting married. She’d get re-ady to become a mother-in-law.
My princess Eniola would have a family, probably with two or more brothers.
💛All is well that ends well.
