Adebimpe the Facebook Girl (complete Season 6)
EPISODE 21.
As expected, the rumors and gossips about Benita started spreading wide like fire. It started from Benita’s team, it got to my team and it extended to other teams. The friendship between Benita and I started growing as the days went by, we began to confide in each other and we discussed a lot of things together, it got to a time that Benita started to bring flask of food to work and we would eat together during breaks. Sometimes, we would go out together for lunch during breaks. Everybody at work started to assumed that I was dating Benita, whenever people want to ask of her from me, they would say “onihaxy, where is your wife?”. The rumors continued to spread wider and more people were saying we got closer because of my car, some said Benita wouldn’t have been so closer to me if I wasn’t driving a car.
We got closer to the extent that sometimes when I stopped at Benita’s street, I sometimes follow her to her house, stey around for like five to ten minutes before returning back my car to go home thereafter. That was how I got to know that she was staying with her sister in a single room apartment.
I was like “so upon all the forming and sophisticated appearances, na single room packaging?”.
We were on our way home one Friday evening when we started a conversation.
ME: Benita.
BENITA: yes dear?
ME: Are you in any relationship?
BENITA: *** surprised**** why do you ask?
ME: nothing, I just noticed that I hardly see any special guy around you.
BENITA: special guy as how?, I don’t understand.
ME: a special guy that people would see and realized that he is definitely your hubby. I even checked your facebook page and couldn’t see any special upload or dedication of a particular guy.
BENITA: *laughed funny you.
ME: I’m serious.
BENITA: anyways, I’m in a relationship, my fiancé lives and work in Porthacourt, and we get to see once in every three or four months.
ME: felt bad hmmmmmmmmm.
BENITA: I just didn’t loud it on social media due to a bad experience I had in my previous relationship
ME: what happened in the previous relationship?, tell me.
BENITA: I publicly engaged my Ex on my facebook, I used his picture as my display picture and at the end of the day, he left me with no genuine reason.
ME: eeyah, so sorry about that.
BENITA: so what about you?, tell me about your girlfriend.
ME: hmmmmmm. I’m not in any relationship.
BENITA: hmmmm. Greatest lie of the century.
ME: I’m serious. I used to date a girl; she travelled out of the country and broke all contacts with me 4 months after she left this country. The last time I heard from her was 6 months ago.
BENITA: eeyah, maybe she changed phone or ran into problem, why didn’t you send her a mail.
ME: I said she broke all contacts including mails, I sent several mails and she didn’t reply. Like three months ago, I met one of her friends here in Nigeria and she told me that my girl got married to someone overseas.
BENITA: eeyah, sorry about that. You will definitely find another girl. You are a cute and fine boy.
ME: well, I already found one, she is pretty, caring and loving.
BENITA: waoooh. I’m happy for you dear. Who is this lucky girl?.
ME: hmmmm, unfortunately, I’m yet to make my intentions known to her.
BENITA: haba!!!, what is delaying you?, or did you observed something bad about her?
ME: not at all, I’m just waiting for the perfect time.
BENITA: hmmmmmm, lovely. So who is this lady trying to take you away from me?
ME: got to her street and parked
Well, her name is Benita and she is sitting right here closed to me.
BENITA: ** surprised *** onihaxy stop it, tell me you are joking.
ME: benita, I’m not joking, I have started loving you and having feelings for you right from the first day I met you when we resumed at the bank, I tried giving you attention several times and it failed. Benita, please believe me, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
BENITA: onihaxy, I’m so sorry, it won’t be possible.
ME: felt sad Benita, but why?,
BENITA: I told you few minutes back, I’m already in a relationship and we are already planning to do introduction this year. Secondly, I can never date anybody where I work, and lastly, we are already good friends. We are even more than friends. We have been so close that we do exchange visits, people see us together as if we are dating, so I think I’m ok with that. I’m sorry onihaxy.
ME: fell back on the seat and was. silent Benita please.
BENITA: I’m sorry onihaxy, it won’t be possible.
ME: ****still silent and almost crying****
BENITA: ok onihaxy, you know what?, just go home now, we will continue our discussions on phone.
ME: ***moody**** ok.
BENITA: please onihaxy. Please concentrate while you drive, I can kill myself if anything bad happens to you. I care so much about you please.
ME: ok, I heard you *switching on the engine
BENITA: *** wiped my eyes*** oya smile now.
ME: ****smiled****
BENITA: that’s my baby *** dropped from the car***
I drove home and began to laugh and smile at the drama I just acted, “chaiiii onihaxy, may God forgive you for denying Betty”.
EPISODE 22
I got home and I resumed wooing Benita on whatsapp. I started composing lovely and romantic poems to her just to win her heart. After several conversations all over the weekend, Benita finally gave me the general ladies response, “onihaxy, give me some time to think about it, I will give you feedback when I’m through”.
The following week, I spiced up the relationship between Benita by showering her with gifts, showing unnecessary care and attentions just to win her heart. I started calling almost three times everyday and I suddenly began to feel jealous anytime I see her around any other guy in the bank.
On Wednesday, Benita was absent from work because she went for an interview in another organization and she already took permissions from her team-lead. I was on my seat in the afternoon when Funmi sent me a mail to come over to her office. I suspended what I was doing and I went to meet her.
FUNMI: hi onihaxy.
ME: hi Funmi, I saw your mail,
FUNMI: yeah, I want to send you on an errand to E-business unit to deliver something to Mr Adams.
ME: alright.
FUNMI: ****brought out an envelope from her drawer***, here is it.
ME: **collected it from her and I was about turning back****
FuNMI: that reminds me, where is your wife, I didn’t see her today.
ME: *** surprised **** my wife?, who is that?.
FUNMI: the one you always go home together with and also come to work together with.
ME: smiled ooooh, Benita?,
FUNMI: yes.
ME: she is not my wife oooooo. She is just a colleague. We happened to stay in the same area. That was why we do go home together.
FUNMI: hmmmm, onihaxy!!!!, just consider the amount you earn monthly, remember that you are still a temporary staff and plan your future well.
ME: ***smiled**** I’m serious funmi, there is nothing between us. Her fiancé even live in same area with us and she would be getting married soon.
FUNMI: well, if you say so.
I left Funmi’s office to deliver her message and returned to my seat to continue with my work.
“Why was funmi asking of Benita from me?
” was she jealous?”
” How did she know benita and I do go home together?”
” Hope I’m not ruining everything?”.
“Well, let me talk to Segun about it.
I held my phone and logged on to whatsapp.
ME: hi sege.
SEGE: how far onihaxy?
ME: I dey jaree. Did you remember the new girl in my workplace I told you about?
SEGE: the one you always go home together with?
ME: yes.
SEGE: ok, what happened to her?
ME: she was absent from work today, Funmi called me to her office and asked me “where is your wife?, I didn’t see her today”.
SEGE: wife kee?
ME: yes. I even pretended as if I didn’t understand and I asked her who she was referring to, she said the lady I always go home and come to office with.
SEGE: chaiii, I smell jealousy. So what was your response?
ME: I replied her that she wasn’t my wife and that we just lived in same area. I even told her that I knew Benita’s fiancé and that she is getting married this year.
SEGE: nice one. Very good response. I already told you onihaxy, paroles within cooperate environment is very complicated. It’s very difficult to handle. The best thing is for you and the girl to keep low profiles when at work, but when you get home, you can switch back to high profile.
ME: don’t mind me jaree, that was my mistake. I was giving her attentions and showing care at office and rumours started spreading.
SEGE: chaiii, you don f–k up. No problem sha. Since you already saved the day today, just try as much as possible to maintain a low profile. If possible, reduce the number of times you guys move out together. You can decide to leave your car at home sometimes just to keep distance. From my observation, funmi was seriously jealous.
ME: ok boss.
EPISODE 23
I started acting as directed by segun and I began to keep a little distance from Benita. The next day which was Thursday, I didn’t come to office with my car, I left it at home and I told Benita that it was faulty. When we closed, I sent a text to Benita that I won’t be going home immediately because I wanted to visit a tailor in oshodi before going home. Benita left and went home and I started planning to leave about 15 minutes later when I had a call, I checked the screen and it was from Henry. I picked it up.
ME: hello mr henry.
HENRY: hi onihaxy, it’s been a long time, how is work going?
ME: fine sir, and yours?
HENRY: fine too.
ME: how is Daniela and her mum?
HENRY: they are fine and here with me, Daniela never stopped to ask of you.
ME: eeeyah, my lovely Daniela.
HENRY: let me give the phone to mummy Daniela.
ME: ok sir.
BIMPE: Mr. onihaxy, how are you and how is work going?
ME: **frowned*** fine ma.
BiMPE: hope you are hearing from my sister in-law,
ME: yes ma.
BIMPE: ok oooo, daniella want to speak with you.*** gave the phone to daniella***
DANIELLA: hello uncle onihaxy.
ME: my baby, how are you?
DANIELLA: fine sir.
ME: how is studies going?, hope you are reading your books?
DANIELLA: fine sir, I’m reading sir .
ME: that is nice.
DANIELLA: uncle onihaxy, when are you coming to our house?
ME: hmmmmm, when do you want me to come?
BIMPE: **** whispered**** tell him that this weekend
DANIELLA: this weekend.
ME: hmmmmm, your mummy whispered to you abi?
DANIELLA: no sir.
ME: ok, I will come on saturday
DANIELLA: *****felt happy***** will you bring ice cream for me while coming?
ME: no problem dear. I will bring it for you.
DANIELLA: what else will you bring for me?
ME: what else do you want?
DANIELLA: chocolates.
ME: ok dear, no problem. Give the phone to your daddy.
Henry and I spoke for the next four minutes before hanging up and I went home thereafter.
The thoughts of adebimpe and her family woke me up from my bed on saturday morning, I sat up on the bed and several things began to run through my mind.
“I will be going to lekki again”
” I will be seeing that adebimpe again”
” Hope there won’t be any trouble waiting for me?”
” I hope I’m not running into any set up?”.
I called Betty to inform her about my outing, I later had my bath, put on my clothes and gave Adebimpe a call, informing her of my coming.
I left home with the car, first stopped at an eatery along Fadeyi to buy ice cream for Daniela, before stopping at a chocolate spot to purchase more. From there I drove to Lekki without stopping.
I arrived at Henry’s street at around 12pm and was allowed to enter by the security man at the gate. I parked at one side of the house, picked up the nylon containing Daniela’s presents and went inside the house.
“Ko ko ko” I knocked at the door which was soon opened by the new maid. I slowly walked in with a smile.
Daniella was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I entered, she saw me and ran towards me.
“Where is your madam?” I asked the maid and she replied that adebimpe was inside her room, I sat down on the chair with Daniela, gave her the ice cream and chocolates and we began to play. From the look on the maid’s face, I guess she was surprised and must be be wondering who I was that made Daniela to be so free with me.
The maid finally left us and went upstairs to call her madam.
While she left, I sat down on the chair and placed daniella on my laps, we were watching a music channel on the Tv and she was singing alongside. Adebimpe slowly came down from the stairs with the maid. She was looking so weak and feverish, her eyes appeared swollen and her face was so dull. She managed to sit down on a seat closer to us.
DANIELLA: ran to adebimpe mummy, uncle Onihaxy brought ice cream and chocolate for me.
ADEBIMPE: pulled her closer that is nice. I hope you thanked him?
DANIELLA: yes mummy.
ADEBIMPE: turned to me thanks so much for the gift**** it seems you will take her away to your place and she will be living with you, she is just too playful. ****smiled****
ME: haba, don’t mention now, you know she is more like a daughter to me. Don’t worry, I will take her away.
ADEBIMPE: hmmmmmmm,
MAID: Ma!, can I leave now?
ADEBIMPE: wait, have you offered my guest anything?.
MAID: no ma, I came upstairs to call you immediately he arrived ma.
ADEBIMPE: ok, get him a drink first, then warm the rice and stew in the kitchen, he is going to eat. ***** Her voice changed as if she stored saliva in her mouth***
MAID: ok ma, *****left the place and returned with a bottle of wine and glass cup.
ADEBIMPE: excuse me Onihaxy, I’m coming. ***she left and went to visitor’s toilet.
ME: turned to the maid what is wrong with your madam?
MAID: she went to spit.
ME: spit?, since when did she started doing that?
MAID: it’s been over two weeks now.
ME: hmmmmmm, ok you can go.
MAID: ok sir. ****left****
My leg was frozen to the ground on hearing that, I looked at Daniela in the eyes and sighed “chaiii, Onihaxy, finally, you are in serious s–t”..
Adebimpe returned back to the living room, still looking very dull and sick, she sat down on the chair and turned to me.
ADEBIMPE: Mr onihaxy, I’m sorry jaree
ME: what happened to you?, what is wrong with you?, I have been noticing you since you came down from the stairs. You aren’t looking bright and active at all.
ADEBIMPE: *** looked at me in an awkward manner*** “Ajala Tan na?” ***meaning: who caused it?*****.
ME: ***pretended as if I didn’t understand**** eeyah. Sorry, it must be fever, hope you have taken some drugs?.
ADEBIMPE: **looked at me in an awkward manner again****, ok Mr. onihaxy, I’m not sick, I was just feeling weak and I went to spit just now because I’m pregnant.
ME: **** felt cold instantly**** hmmmm, congratulations ma.
ADEBIMPE: you are welcome sir.
Adebimpe sat down and was still eyeing me awkwardly while I was forcing myself to crack dry jokes with Daniela. My heart pounded heavily and I soon started sweating.
The maid came to meet us 6 minutes later to inform Adebimpe that food was ready and she was asking if she should serve it. Adebimpe looked at her and said
“don’t worry, I will serve it myself, you can take Daniela to play outside with her toys”. The maid replied saying “ok ma”.
She took daniella away with her ice cream and chocolates and I was looking at them as they walked out of the house. I turned my head back to look at adebimpe and behold, she frowned her face and looked at me as if she wanted to eat me raw.
“Chaiiiiiii, I’m finally in for serious wahala”.
EPISODE 24.
BIMPE: Onihaxy, what kind of man are you?
ME: what kind of man as in?, I don’t get it.
BIMPE: do you ever care to call me and ask about my conditions?
ME: which conditions is that?.
BIMPE: you are asking me right.
ME: **frowned*** yes, because I don’t understand.
BIMPE: ** lowered voice*** the seed you planted, you left it for only me to nurture abi?
ME: Adebimpe, what exactly do you want me to do?. A mistake happened, fine, I gave you a solution and you refused to follow it and decided to follow your own directives, what else do you want me to do ehn?,
BIMPE: ***moved closer **** calm down onihaxy,
ME: this is not the issue of calming down, what exactly did you want me to do?, you want me to pack my loads and move over to your place?.
BIMPE: ****placed hand on my lap ***** I’m not saying you should move over to this place, I’m capable of taking care of myself. Afterall, you weren’t here when I kept Daniela in my womb till I gave birth to her and brought her up to that level,
ME: Adebimpe, you still haven’t answered me. What exactly do you want from me?.
BIMPE: stop avoiding me Onihaxy, stop treating me like a kind of trash. Stop ignoring my calls, stop acting funny towards me.
ME: Bimpe, do you know you are funny?.
BIMPE: how?
ME: when anything like this happen to reasonable women, they try as much as possible to keep it secret from their secret lover, they even try as much as possible to stay away from any secret man and stick to their husband. But yours is the reverse and it amaze me.
BIMPE: you said “secret lover?”, but you aren’t one.
ME: really?, so who am I?
BIMPE: you are my evergreen love, the father of my two kids. It seems you don’t know how much I love you Onihaxy, if not that betty is my husband’s sister, do you think I will be happy seeing you with another woman?,
ME: Bimpe listen. You are married to a wealthy and good man, I am about to settle down with the woman of my dream, let’s just count whatever happened between us as a mistake. Face your family and let me build mine. You are my ex; I’m your ex too. Let’s let bygone be bygone please.
BIMPE: Onihaxy, despite the fact that we had a bad beginning, our paths had always been crossing to the extent that it produced a baby girl and another baby boy is on its way. It’s not just an incident Onihaxy, fate had brought us together.
ME: that fate is a bad fate Adebimpe, in fact, it’s a stupid fate. Let’s just pretend as if nothing happened. Face your family, let me build mine. Ok!!!
BIMPE: ***smiled**** Onihaxy, you are just a coward, nothing but a coward.
ME: me?, A coward? What do you mean?.
BIMPE: when real men create a problem, they would stand by it and face it. But cowards like you, they create a problem and run away from it.
ME: hmmmmmmmmmmm.
BIMPE: and one thing you don’t understand is that the more you try to run away from a problem you create, the more you get things complicated.
ME: that is your own problem Adebimpe, not mine, I didn’t create any problem and I’m not complicating anything.
BIMPE: no problem, if you say so. Let me just advice you, avoiding me or running away from me won’t solve anything, it has happened already and there is nothing we can do about it . Be a man and face your problems.
ME: whatever.
BIMPE: ***stood up****, join me in the dining, let me serve your food.
ME: I’m not eating, I’m ok and I would soon be leaving.
BIMPE: Onihaxy, tell me you are joking.
ME: I’m serious Bimpe. I’m fine, I’m not eating anything.
BIMPE: *** picked and scrolled through her phone*** no problem, ****placed the phone on her ear*** hello honey, I took my time, stressed myself and spent over an hour to prepare food for your husband, you can’t believe that he rejected the food for no reason and he said he won’t eat. This will be the last time I will ever entertain him again in my life, in fact, I’m calling your brother right away.
ME: ****mouth opened wide*** omo see implication.
BIMPE: handed over the phone to me
ME: hello
BETTY: Onihaxy, what is the meaning of all these you are doing?, why will mummy Daniela stress herself to prepare food for you despite her condition and you decided to refuse it?
ME: Betty, it’s not what you think. I just don’t have appetite.
BETTY: and why didn’t you tell her before she prepared it.
ME: *looked at Bimpe in the eyes ok, I will try to eat little.
BETTY: better, because my brother must not hear about it.
ME: ok dear.
BETTY: return the phone to her please.
I returned the phone back to Bimpe and she was on the call with betty for like 3 minutes. From Adebimpe’s response, it seems Betty was begging her not to tell Henry about it.
BIMPE: turned to me so, are you still eating or not?, so as to call Henry and inform him also.
ME: *chaiii, I don hook ok, I will join you in the dinning.
BIMPE: **smiled*** better, that’s my baby. I don’t know why you always prefer the hard way before doing what you are supposed to do without stress. Join me at the dinning.
Bimpe left for the dinning and I joined her there, we had some discussions while we were eating. After the meal, I stood up and was about going out when Adebimpe pulled me back and gave me a very passionate hug.
EPISODE 25.
Few months later around September, my temporary contract at the bank was almost rounding up, every member of the temporary staff teams had started submitting CVs and applications to other organizations, some started attending interviews, others began to do eye services to our superiors but I just had this mindset that I was going to be retained even though I still submitted applications to other organizations. The tension at work became higher as everyone began to form seriousness, people who had not been taking their job very serious from inception began to work harder just to gain the favor of the management who were watching and monitoring us for a permanent contract recommendation.
I also got closer to Funmilayo by always going to her office to check on her. sometimes, I would buy fruits and ice cream for her while coming from home, sometimes, I would go to her office and suggested that we should go out for a lunch, sometimes, I would stylishly beg her to let me visit her in the weekend with the excuse that I was bored at home and it always worked out and resulted to smiles on Funmi’s face and more closeness between us more than ever before, special thanks to the event planner himself “Segun” who had been the one supplying me with scripts and proper tutorials. In fact, people at work started referring to Funmilayo as my mother. Sometimes whenever I was discussing with my team members, they would always say “onihaxy, you don’t have any problem, its certain that you would be among the people to be retained here since your mother is still the big boss”.
Benita on the other hand was still pending my request to be her boyfriend, she was still saying the same excuse that “Onihaxy, I’m in a relationship and besides, I can’t date someone at same place where I work. And also, we are more than friends already, but still give me some time to think about it”. We still hang out together occasionally; we come to work and leave office together as usual anytime I drove my car to work. One morning, I was driving to work with Benita sitting beside me, I noticed that she was so moody and she looked somehow disturbed, she wasn’t laughing at my jokes as usual and she was just staring at the dashboard. I tried to enquire from her about what was happening to her but she told me that she was fine which I knew it was a lie, she said she didn’t sleep well at night and that she was having a migraine. I pet her and promised to assist her at work when we get to the office.
At lunch break, I went to meet her where she was staying and I realized that she was still moody. I helped her with few of her works and I persuaded her to let us go out for lunch but she declined. She suggested that I should get a take away for her while coming back which I did. Before the closure of business, Funmilayo told me to wait and see her after closing, saying there was something I would do for her.
Immediately we closed, I went to Benita’s office and gave her my car key, telling her to wait for me, that Funmilayo asked me to wait and see her after the close of business.
“You and this your mummy sha” Benita said as I left her and returned back to my office. I went to meet Funmilayo and she gave me an A4 paper containing some writings, she said
“onihaxy, please take this to your seat and help me to type it on Microsoft word the same way you are seeing it on the paper. When you are through, send it as an attachment to my mail. I will check it when I arrive office tomorrow morning”, pats me on the chin and she said “thank you my dear”. We both left her office, she locked her door and went home.
I looked at the document, I read through and noticed that it was a two page presentation, it took me another 35 minutes to finish the typing and I sent it as an attachment to her mail while I kept the manuscript inside my drawer. I left the office and I went outside to meet Benita who was already seated in the car waiting for me.
I entered into the car and noticed that she was still moody just like the way she was in the morning. I enquired from her again about what was going on with her and why she was appearing so moody since morning. At first, she didn’t want to tell me and she continued to tell me that nothing was wrong with her. After so much begging and persuasion, she finally opened up.
BENITA: ok Onihaxy, something is wrong, but what is the essence of telling you since you won’t solve the problem.
ME: says who Benita?, it seems you don’t know how much I care about you. Your happiness is my number one priority. Please tell me, what is wrong with you?.
BENITA: ok, do you want me to be happy?.
ME: yes dear.
BENITA: ok. Please, can you do me a favor?
ME: what is that dear?
BENITA: please, can I stay over at your place for some days?, the place where I live presently is hell
ME: ***chaiii!!!!!, omo see better offer!!!!!*****
