Episode 101
“oga how nau? Hope you know tomorrow is friday?” Tessy asked with her usual lively voice,
“yea dear” i replied with a deep breathe,
“i’m on my knees, please don’t disappoint me, hope you still remember my little son’s birthday is on saturday?” she asked,
“really! I think i’m hearing it for the first time” i replied happily,
“are you sure about that? Anyway let’s not argue about it. I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow evening, do take care my love. Good night” she said sweetly before hanging up. I breathed deeply, yawned and closed my eyes. My phone soon rang again, this time it was mum calling.
“good evening mummy” i greeted,
“nnam i’m so glad to hear your voice, how are you doing?” she asked,
“i’m very fine mum, how are my sisters?” i asked,
“they are fine, but i called by this hour, because of the terrible dream i had last night about you. ‘A young girl driving a small car ran into you as we were about crossing a road’, I know it may sound weird to you, but i really don’t want to rule out any possibility, please do be careful, i could have called you since morning but i was having second thoughts about it. I can’t risk any harm coming to you. Promise me from now onwards you will be saying your prayers often and on” she begged, while i listened calmly.
“mummmmy! e don do, i have heard. I promise to behave, pray often and read my bible. I already downloaded a bible to my phone, so please relax and sleep, nothing will happen to me” i assured her.
“alright dear, i have heard you. It’s just that i hardly have bad dreams, so please” she tried to start another sermon, but i instantly stopped her,
“i’ll be going over to chief peter’s office tomorrow morning, you know he stood me up on monday” i added, expertly changing the topic.
“that’s good of you, don’t forget to brief me after seeing him” she said, bade me goodnight, and hung up.
I laid awake for hours, as i thought over her dream and the words she said to me, ” Adaora was the first to warn me, now mum, who knows whose turn it is tomorrow?” I wondered, “perhaps one of my sisters”. I reasoned with a smile.
Surely i knew i was walking through a dangerous path, but as stupid and adventurous as i was, i paid no heed to mum nor Adaora’s pleas, instead i planned ahead and stepped up my game.
By noon the next day i was at Uncle peter’s office, nervously waiting for him to finish the discussion he was having with some friends. I had an Abuja bound flight to catch.
What could i have told my creator supposing one of those flights i took without my family’s knowledge crashed???.
“yea we have a lot to discuss my son, but it really isn’t what we will do here in my office, just give me a phone call during the weekend, i will arrange for a more condusive place” Uncle Peter said when i eventually met him. I happily accepted his suggestion without asking further questions. Shook hands with him and left, heading straight to Imo Airport.
_______
I got to Abuja later that evening and was extremely surprised to see Elinor waiting for me at the airport. We hugged each other nervously.
“Tessy’s merchandise arrived the city minutes ago, she’s very busy with it and begged me to help pick you up” she explained with a smile.
“she shouldn’t have bothered sending you nau. I can easily find my way around town” i murmured, while she laughed and scanned me with her eyes,
“hmmmmm save your words jare, i know you will do anything to avoid me, but my dear you are very mistaken. As long as you are with Tessy you must learn how to tolerate me” she confidently said to me. I calmly smiled and polietly followed her.
“so what exactly will be your fee, supposing i decide to settle you in one installment?” i heard myself suddenly ask as we headed into town. I asked the question because i really couldn’t endure the cold war going on between us any longer and so had to look for a way out.
She instantly gave me a searching look, scoffed, shook her head and drove on silently.
I truly wasn’t comfortable sitting beside her that fateful evening, nor even expected to see her that very day. The silence between us as she drove into the capital city really was very intense. I never imagined a day would come when she and i will relate as mere business associates or better still as competitors..
“so where will you get the money to settle me huh?” she asked with a cold smile minutes later.
“you do claim to know me, but i don’t think you know anything about me nor what i can do” i replied calmly. She breathed deeply, slowed down the car and stared at me.
“i know you think i’m a bad person, a lady unfit to be Tessy’s friend, but my dear whatever you think about me, just know that i did you a very huge favour. I gave your manhood worth and made your body expensive. Do ask around, you will find out how much guys pay, sign up or even willing to do before getting hooked up with a rich lady. Big girls are not harlots you can pick up at any junction” she muttered seriously, “I hooked you up with the best, a young, classy, beautiful single mother who loves her body and doesn’t flirt around. Yet you treat me with disdain dam.n you” she poured out unhappily. I swallowed hard and breathed deeply.
“you clearly misunderstood me Elinor. I can never be against giving you something valuable in appreciation, but what i really don’t approve is the idea of stealing or duping your friend. I do find it very disgusting” i murmured. She smiled and shrugged.
“so do tell me, how do you intend to settle me if not by stealing from her?” she asked suspiciously.
“i have my own ways dear, so how much is your fee?” i asked. She rolled her eyes and thought for a while,
“fee ke? Anyway considering many factors i think 250k will do.” she replied calmly while i instantly gasped.
“two hundred and fifty thousand naira!” i exclaimed. She nodded and drove on quietly.

Episode 102
“why did you scream huh??” she asked with a dark smile,
“i really don’t know if you are serious or not, but no matter what, the amount you just mentioned is outrageously much” i said quietly. She simply shrugged and drove on silently.
“what if i decide to take the easy way out by reporting you to Tessy” i seriously murmured a minute later. She laughed and sighed,
“so what’s holding you eeh?” she asked,
“because i don’t want to be a snitch” i answered,
“you can do whatever you like, i’m not stopping you, but do know that i’m n’t new in this stuff and i equally have my reason of choosing you. So for all i care, be a man and call off my bluff” she threatened coldly..
“so what exactly will you do if i choose to call it off?” i asked inquisitively,
“only a fool will answer that question my dear” she replied and drove on, leaving me a bit scared and confused..
“After this weeekend i won’t be seeing Tessy anymore, you can choose another guy for her, i can’t be your pawn” i murmured nervously, while she instantly gave me a searching look before smiling evily.
“i see someone is scared huh” she teased,
“you can say whatever you like, but i have to do the right thing that will benefit me ‘madam know all’ I can’t toy with my life and future over nothing, i’m no hungry graduate” i poured out.
My last comment really kept her quiet for a while. She clearly noticed how serious i was.
“are you really serious?” she asked with a calm tone. But i just kept quiet and ignored her question.
“i think you are just being very childish or plain stupid. You want to throw away the beautiful relationship you are enjoying with Tessy over this little issue. Only if you know how much she’s willing to spend on you, or the plans she’s making in your name, you won’t be saying this nonsense. Don’t you know you stand the chance of running some, if not all of her investments when you are done with Nysc?? C’mon don’t be a fusspot and think ahead like a man” she murmured with a coloured face, while i smiled confidently.
“truly all the things you just mentioned are of no interest to me because i never planned for my relationship with her to head anywhere. I will never allow myself to get entangled so strongly with her, so it’s better you start looking for another guy because everything about your plan totally disgust me” i muttered coldly without sensoring my words.
She instantly stared at me angrily, the fire in her eyes very intense, but they suddenly died as fast as they appeared, because just that moment we arrived at our destination. She gently pulled up and killed the car engine. {in front of a boutique}.
“let’s go and see your woman” she murmured calmly. I breathed deeply, opened the car door and alighted. Together we walked into the big shop where Tessy was busy arranging some wares with her workers.
We gently walked up to her, while she smiled and happily hugged me,
“thanks alot Elinor you are a very wonderful friend, what will i do without your care” she said to her with a grateful smile..
Elinor left for her house moments later, while i helped Tessy and her staff sort, arrange and display her wares. It really was a herculean task which occupied us till 8pm. Tessy really was very impressed with me.
“you are such a nice guy” she murmured sweetly as we headed to her house minutes later.
Her children were already fast asleep when we got home by 9:15pm. She heaved a sigh of relief and winked at me,
“I guess it’s time to rest huh?” she smiled as she led me to the guest room.
________
“i’m so happy to have you here with me, hope you won’t be uncomfortably spending the night in my house” she asked sweetly with eyes beaming with joy. I smiled and held her hands.
“i’m very much okay dear, but i fear i have to break this news to you this moment”, “this weekend may be our last. I might not be able to visit you ever again” i said softly with a heavy heart while She stared at me totally astonished and surprised.
“what! why? c’mon tell me, did i do anything wrong? C’mon speak up, what exactly is happening? Please tell me you are joking” she pleaded. I swallowed hard and shrugged.
“you are a very nice lady, and i really do wish i met you earlier in life. But the truth is that i’m no longer comfortable with this affair, moreover someone close to you is highly responsible for my decision and it’s better i end things now before she ends it for us, moreover i’m not without a past” i poured out calmly. She simply stared silently at me with a heavily coloured face.
I really had to off-load the heavy load i was carrying immediately we got to her house, because i couldn’t afford bearing it much longer and like i told Elinor “I was no hungry graduate” moreover i knew not what she had against me nor was i willing to continue seeing my heart jump each time we met.
But staring at Tessy’s unhappy expression after i had poured out my feelings. I was touched, moved and very sorry.
“i don’t understand you at all. Why did you choose to spoil my day all of a sudden?”, “why do you like treating me like a leper?”, “why do you like spoiling my mood whenever i’m happy”, “is it a crime to love you, don’t worry thanks for everything, i also can’t continue trusting my heart with an insecured guy who likes watching me beg for love”, “you can leave tonight for all i care” she sobbed and made to leave, but i instantly grabbed her, drawing her back to face me.
“leave me jor, i can’t allow you to continue toying with my heart. I have the money and i can afford other guys” she boasted, while I smiled and kissed her strongly.
“yea you can afford a thousand guys but none will sincerely care for you, kiss you the way i do, nor tell you the truth without hiding some facts” i murmured calmly. She breathed deeply and stared into my eyes,
“is that why you so much enjoy scaring me? what do you mean by someone close to me is responsible for your decision??” she curiously inquired. I breathed deeply and held her strongly.
“you can ask Elinor” i murmured. Her facial expression instantly went cold.
“you mean Elinor?” she asked furiously.

Episode 104
“and what could possibly be her involvment in all these?” she asked anxiously,
“you are a very sweet lady my dear, and the last thing i’ll ever do is to let you suffer for my sake, please purge me from your heart. I don’t deserve you” i prayed. But she only stared at me with confusion, pain and surprise.
“Val what has come over you? Why do you speak in such manner, you are only getting me more confused, please go straight to the point” she begged.
“i’m being threatened, for no just cause, perhaps she knows very much about me, perhaps not, but i think it’s better i fill you in with my secrets before she helps me do it” i added calmly, while she nervously stared at me, expecting to hear the worst.
“i have a girlfriend and i’m very happy with her. I lied to you” i confessed fearfully. She instantly breathed deeply and looked down sorrowfully.
“val it really embarrasses me to say this, but i never for once believed that part of your lie, i knew such a fine male like you won’t be without a sharp girl breathing down his neck, but what i really don’t understand is why you suddenly decided to be very honest with me by this hour, are you planning to ruin my son’s birthday by spoiling my heart?” she asked with an unhappy tone. I remorsefully stared into her eyes.
“no Tess dear, like i earlier said, i wouldn’t want you to hear such news from another person, and i’m equally tired of lying to myself and decieving you” i explained. She breathed heavily, sat on the bed and covered her face with her palms.
“it would have been better if you kept the truth away from me, now i’m hurting very much” she murmured softly.
“but you know what? My love for you is still very strong, your confession dosen’t change anything, now tell me Elinor’s part in all these?” she asked inqusitively. I sat beside her and shook my head.
“i really don’t think it’s necessary for you to learn about it from me, you should ask her yourself and let me be” i replied solemnly, but she grabbed my knee tightly and stared at me murderously,
“finish what you started dear, i insist you tell me” she urged.
“i don’t think you will believe my word, but your friend really isn’t what she’s presenting herself to be. She’s a very ambitious lady, but i can’t say further because i don’t want to come between you two” i calmly replied,
“no Val on the contrary, you are doing me a great favour. Please speak up” she begged anxiously.
“alright the truth is that she wants me to cut a deal with her, follow up her plans and make a fortune out of you” i confessed quietly.
“Jesus” she gasped, “are you really sure about this?” she asked, making me scoff with a smile,
“you see why i was very unwilling to break the news to you. I knew you wouldn’t believe my word” i murmured, while she rubbed her face with both palms, breathed deeply and fell on me.
“no no no, this can’t be happening, please make love to me this instant, f.uck out my pains, i want to forget all these” she begged like a deranged woman. But i only just caressed her back for a while before standing up.
“no my darling all you need is a very hot shower. Just go to your room, shower, rest and think over all i told you. Please let’s not get silly tonight” i advised and dragged her up. She willingly obeyed and left for her room with unshed tears in her eyes, leaving me a bit touched but happy with myself. I was extremely relieved, because nothing gives greater joy than living without a secret.
But unfortunately, my heart jumped again the next morning, when i woke up to see a text from Elinor waiting in my phone.
“you just ruined your life, you can still tell your momma i said that” she typed
I knew Tessy wouldn’t sleep without first pouring out her mind to Elinor and the text i got that morning clearly confirmed my suspicions, leaving me very pleased with myself, because I thought i had finally gotten rid of Elinor for good. But i was very much mistaken, because the obnoxious lady showed up at exactly 8:15am that fateful morning as if nothing had happened.
I was in the sitting room when she walked in leisurely with a perfect smile. Was she scared, lost or confused? It never showed on her. She only gave me a silent nod before calmly walking straight to Tessy’s room. I was totally disoriented.
I soon got a text from Tessy minutes later, inviting me to her room, which i walked into with a furiously pounding heart. Four lovely eyes instantly fell on me as soon as i walked in. Elinor was sitting on a couch, while Tessy sat on her bed. They all appeared calm and i prayed for them not to notice how nervous i was.
“Elinor came as fast as she could because of what you told me yesterday evening” Tessy explained as i bravely sat beside Elinor, “so dear, Val is right here just like you requested, so now say whatever you came to say” she said to Elinor who winked at me before facing Tessy with a calm smile.
“supposing our friendship didn’t come a long way, it would have ended yesterday evening when you poured out that silly trash to me over the phone”, Elinor muttered without mincing words,
“seriously you believed i can come up with a plan to dupe you, now tell me for what reason?” she asked and breathed deeply,
“have you forgotten so soon how you told me you like Val a great deal but that you are very scared of Igbo boys huh?” “what did i tell you dear? Didn’t I promise to look into it after assuring you he was a good guy”, “and what better way is there to test a young guy if not with such nonsense idea?? Infact am very angry with you right now and i demand an apology. Though i don’t blame Val because he just did what i was expecting him to do which showed his honesty” she added.
“Oga Val i do apologize for the text i sent you this morning, it was sent out of anger” she apologized to me with a fake smile, “but for you my dear friend how can you be so gullible eeh” she asked coldly, while Tessy remorsefully looked down with shame. I really couldn’t believe my ears nor the scene that was playing out.
Elinor really was an expert liar. So effortlessly and so convincingly she lied.
“i’m very sorry dearie, please do forgive my silly thoughts” Tessy quietly apologized, stood up, dragged Elinor to her feet, hugging her. I couldn’t help noticing Elinor’s cold gaze as they hugged.
“it’s okay my love, what are friends for?, you have been forgiven, let me rush home and tidy up, you know i also have Junior’s birthday to prepare” she sweetly murmured and left seconds later.
“i do trust her Val” Tessy confessed as soon as she was gone, while i shrugged and smiled.
But an hour later, i scoffed when a text from an unknown number appeared in my phone,
“PUT ON YOUR DANCING SHOES, THE MUSIC HAS STARTED”it read.
I knew it was from Elinor but i had no proof. I have dared a spirit..
Episode 105
I really was pensive and restless as i wondered how Elinor could ruin me.
“what exactly will she do?” i wondered intensely as i relaxed in the guest room. Then it finally came running into my head like lightning. I instantly remembered, “Adaora and i met Elinor for the first time in her aunt’s office, “yes Aunty Martha”. I nodded with a frown wondering why i forgot all about it. “Didn’t Adaora tell me sometime ago that Elinor gave her a lift to the market?” i equally asked myself as i remembered it all, “who knows what they discussed that fateful day” i wondered unhappily, “moreover i equally admitted to her that Adaora was only just a family friend” d–n i cursed.
I knew a lady like Elinor wasn’t the type to make empty threats, i knew her threats were already in progress and i had no doubt that my relationship with Adaora would be an easy target for her.
“silly me” i breathed nervously. But I had no choice than to wait it out with regret.
_______
Junior’s birthday party went as planned. A huge success considering the way it was organised. However It really was a low key celebration because of his age, mostly children from the neighbourhood attended. Elinor truly was a good organiser. She arranged and hosted every thing with impeccable perfetness. Tessy was extremely pleased with her.
I watched it all with a pounding heart, counting my time as if i was on death row.
Elinor soon started taking pictures, a good opportunity for her to capture my image. I quietly excused myself without second thoughts, because i perfectly knew her hidden intention. But Tessy wasn’t happy i avoided taking pictures with them, even though she never openly complained. I equally never told her my reason nor explained myself to her. Thus allowing her to think whatever she wanted. I first had to save myself before anything else, and I really was in no mood to explain my actions to anyone.
So anxiously, i waited for Elinor’s strike like syrian’s waiting for America’s air strike. I had very unpleasant feelings about my future and everything..
How will things turn out???
Few hours later,
Sunday Morning
