Upon getting to my room, I locked my door and lost myself in thoughts of how
I met Lilian. Actually, Lilian was a lady everybody in church wanted to talk
to. Saying I joined the church choir partly because of her would not be out of
place. She had this angelic beauty and voice that every man in the
choir was charmed by her beauty. Even the choirmaster was not immune to her
charms. The first time we spoke, I thought I was in Heaven. Mesmerized by my
skills on the piano, she was moved to strike a conversation with me and one
thing led to the other, we started hanging out more often than we should have,
we fell in love with each other and I guess you now know the outcome.
I sat on the floor in
my room, full of regrets. Regrets for not listening to Lilian telling me to
take things slow; regrets for giving up on life and using Lilian as a means of
escape, making me selfish; regrets that the first lady I fell in love with
would be made to pass through humiliation while I schooled miles away. Tears
rolled down my cheeks and I did not have the strength to comfort myself. On the
one hand, I was happy I finally gained admission, on the other, I was sad it
came after I had made this terrible mistake with Lilian. While still lost in
thoughts, I drifted to sleep.
A fierce knock on my
door cut my sleep short
ME: Who is there?
NERO: Bros, na me Nero
ME: What do you want this time?
NERO: Bros, papa say make I check if you
never kpai yourself
ME: What rubbish, how would I kill
myself? I haven’t even slept for up to 10 mins
NERO: Bros, you sure sey you well so? Day
dun dark oh. You dun dey this room since. E reach to fear. Papa say make we
allow you rest small.
ME: What time is it Nero?
NERO: Na almost 7pm. Dinner dey table for
everybody.
ME: I am coming.
I stand from the floor
and follow Nero to the dining room.
ME: Good evening papa, good evening mum.
PAPA: Ovie sit down and have dinner. We
shall talk after.
After we all ate to our
fill and the table had been cleaned up, dad invited the entire family to a very
important discussion
PAPA: I invited you all here because we are
in a rather delicate situation as a family, all thanks to Ovie. As God would
have it, he finally made it to school but not before putting Lilian in the
family way. Ovie, are you truly responsible for Lilian’s pregnancy?
ME: Papa, I am not sure. I know I was
with her in a rather compromising way some weeks back.
MAMA: So you are telling us all that
happened was by accident?
ME: Mama, I won’t call it an accident
because we didn’t fall in love by accident
MAMA: If na love you dey talk, oya leave
your admission dey pursue love
NERO: Iffahear!! The love never strong
reach that one na
PAPA: No one is leaving any admission. Tomorrow,
Ovie and I shall go see Lilian’s father to discuss a way forward.
ME: Papa, shey do I have to come?
PAPA: Boy, you put us all in this
precarious situation; of course you are coming along.
MAMA: Ovie, no worry. I go join una tomorrow.
NERO: As everybody dey go, me seff for like
join oh
Without wasting time,
my mum, my dad and I all chorused an emphatic NO!!!!!
