Life as a corper

Episode 196

On getting home, it turned out that Adaora was still indecisive over the state of our relationship and she was on the verge of leaving the country to join her family abroad without telling me nor revealing her full plans to my worried mother who was left with no choice than to send for me.

Luckily, she was in our house when i arrived home, which kind of calmed my mind a bit. After having a long talk with mum later in the evening, i quickly swung into action, begining proceedings to know her plans and perhaps win her back with the little time available.

However it was far from being easy for me. Adaora wasn’t considerate as she used to be, it equally wasn’t easy getting her to talk to me and when she did open her mouth, the words that came out were horrible and painful, but i never lost hope because i still saw love in her words and action.

It took me a long week to convince her of my love, after much begging and love making. I made lots of promises i never knew i could make. One of them was promising to take her on a vacation after my nysc, precisely by June ending. I equally planned proposing to her during the vacation with the intention of fixing and planing our wedding there and then. I felt it was the only way to set things right and forever live together with her ever after. I had great plans with the best intentions even though my heart was far from being pure.

In the end, she believed in me once again, believed in my promises and looked forward to the vacation with her noble heart, thus cancelling her trip {abroad} for my humble sake. Mum was pleased with me. My sisters were happy. I was satisfied, but deep down i was scared. I feared something bad would happen and spoil my plans.
My love for Adaora was huge so was my fears. I however knew that i was to be blamed in everything happening to our relationship, because the devil wouldn’t have entered if i never gave it the chance.

“i have accepted you fully back. Yes i know that i’m stupid for doing it, but it’s all because i’m stupidly in love with you. Please don’t make me regret my decision” she begged when i was ready to leave.

“bros, i don’t trust you but please don’t hurt Adaora. You know what’s she’s sacrificing by deciding to stay?” my immediate younger sister pleaded.

“you know Adaora has always been my favourite. Don’t deny me the pleasure of having her as my daughter inlaw” mum asked of me.

I travelled back to Imo state with their words ringing in my head. I had a big task to fulfill, not only for myself but for my family.

“yes i will propose to her by June and we will get married in Decemeber” i calculated thoughtfully. But deep down, a part of me felt that rushing into marriage with Adaora wouldn’t solve my problems, but first fixing myself would.

“no matter what, I have to keep my plans from Frank and Tessy” i concluded. Frank wasn’t my enemy but somehow i felt he was. Yet upon all the precautions, how far did i go with my plans??

I spent two uneventful weeks at my PPA before returning to my apartment in Owerri town. So far things were going nicely as i hoped they would.

However Tessy called to know what was keeping Frank from coming to start work. According to her my friend has refused answering her phone calls. It quickly dawned on me that perhaps Frank was too ashamed of telling her the truth, which was then left for me to do.

“seems like he isn’t comfortable with the job you offered. I don’t think he is taking it” i informed her calmly. She kept quiet for a while.

“very well then. Send my regards to him” she said and hung up, surprising me with the calm way she recieved the news. She displayed no anger nor any negative behaviour.

Frank showed up at my apartment three days later, looking unusually serious.
“you didn’t keep your promise. You promised to talk to my mother didn’t you?” he asked, forcing me to give some excuses but he really wasn’t listening.

“guy let’s forget about Tessy’s job offer. I really don’t think i would have coped working with her. Now that i have lost the job, i hope you will help me get another one” he asked seriously.

“of course bro, you can count on my help” i promised.

Through out the following week and the next, we spent our time moving from one ministry to another. One office to another, sharing CVs, bribing and begging for unavailable jobs. It really wasn’t easy, moving from one place to another, under heavy sun, high hopes and prayers. It equally wasn’t easy asking for job in offices where no vacancy notice was posted.
It slowly dawned on us that our dear country was nothing but a hell hole. Young adults without money nor powerful godfathers have little or no hopes of survival. It really is terrible spending four to six years in school only to be told after nysc to go learn a trade and generate income. Other countries gives statistics yearly/monthly on the number of jobs created for their citizens. But ours tells us to generate our own jobs. Seriously i see no need going to university anymore.
Yes I might be wrong, but i definetly think that if starting up a business is easy for graduates, there won’t be millions of unemployed graduates in the street. I really don’t think it’s laziness, or not being innovative that is hindering them. With the high level of literacy going on with the present generation, our government really need to come up with something better than the good old song they have been singing since 1999.

“guy i think i will move into music and try my luck in it. I also have an uncle in lagos who promised to send shoes and clothes i can be selling. I have no choice, i’m getting fed up” Frank poured out at the end of the second week of futile job hunting. I couldn’t say anything because my lips were tied.
The two weeks of job hunting taught me a bitter lesson. The real world is nothing compared to campus nor Nysc life.

The news of Adaora’s sickness flashed in days later, almost destroying me.
“We havn’t seen anything like it. It’s very serious my dear, i can’t believe you aren’t aware” mum announced with a quiet whisper. I couldn’t believe my ears.

Episode 197

I travelled home to meet my queen down with terrible fever. She looked horrible, so thin and helpless. I was totally stunned and speechless.

Adaora really wasn’t the sick type. In all the years i have known her, she hadly suffered any serious ailment, which really left me totally shocked because of the sudden nature of the fever and the rate it was eating her up.
She was admitted in a private hospital the same day i got home. The doctor assured us that she was going to get better, according to him it was simply typhoid fever which has eaten into her system, totally weakening her immune system. We were assured that she would get better in days.
I was forced to cancel every other engagements to be by her side. It was an opportunity to prove my dedication and love to her once again.

“i hope you aren’t risking a lot just to be with me?. My mother is around, so is your mother and sisters. You shouldn’t worry, i’m okay with them” she kept telling me.

“don’t worry my dear. Just get better for me” i always replied with a sweet smile.

However as days dragged by, the sickness dragged on. Some days she woke up a bit healthy and strong, the next day it goes back to square one, dashing our hopes. I prayed for her, so was every member of my family and hers. Yet her condition dragged on, forcing her to take series of expensive tests.

Finally after days of anxious waiting, her condition improved, her lively spirit, appetite and strength returned to an accepted level. We all breathed deeply and thanked God, but her mother wasn’t satisfied nor willing to take more risks.

“i’m taking her abroad for a more precise treatment. I’m still not satisfied with the improvement” she told us two days later, leaving me totally shocked even though the decision was a brilliant one.

I saw my plans and hopes dashing before my eyes.The way things were going we might end up not having the vacation. I might end up not proposing to her in June.

“GOD why why why?” i cried,

“mum told me about the plans she’s making. You know i can’t stop her. But do know that i will always be there with you in spirit, so don’t be dejected my love, i’m feeling it much more than you” Adaora assured me with tears in her eyes. I longed to travel with her. I wished to be by her side where ever she went. But what could i do.

She finally left the country with her mother on June 1st 2013. Such a painful parting it was, but it truly was for her own good and her life comes first above any other thing.
Her departure made me very miserable. I felt i had lost her. I felt i failed her.

I had no choice than to return to Imo state the next day in preparation of my Nysc passing out parade.

My passing out day finally approached. A day filled with bright sunshine and happiness. I wished Adaora was there to share my happiness.

The twin {Tessy’s godmother’s daughter} who once spied on me however surprised me with her presence. I really wasn’t expecting her to show up because i merely informed her of my Nysc passing ceremony days ago, just like i informed all my friends.

Her presence truly was unexpected but yes i welcomed her with happiness. We took pictures, had a nice time with friends before returning to my apartment later in the evening.

“how i wish i’m in your shoes” she hugged me happily when we were all alone in my apartment. I smiled and held her softly.

“yea life of hardship and stress begins” i murmured. She drew back her head and stared into my eyes.

“c’mon i know you have something already planned out. You are a big boy nah. Do big boys experience hardship in life?” she joked, winking at me. I couldn’t help but feel my temperature rise, slowly igniting an uncalled passion. I swallowed hard, my heart beat increasing. I tried to control myself, but my eyes fell on her slightly exposed chest which revealed a big part of her bosoms firmly squeezed inside a tight fitting bra and shirt.
I wasn’t at ease any longer. I tried to back away.

“c’mon give me a peck, you deserve it” she added, presenting her cheek in a very sweet and seductive posture. I smiled, brought down my lips and pecked her. I couldn’t help but percieve the sweet fragrance her hair emitted.

I slowly drew back and stared at her. She blushed, her colour instantly glowed as our eyes met. The passion, the urge, the desire in me aroused tremendously. I breathed quickly as i weighed my options. My body was willing and on fire but my spirit was indecisive and confused. The pretty girl before me stood without knowing what to do. Sure i was wasting time and i just couldn’t fathom what was going through in her mind.

She tried to back away by turning, but i quickly grabbed her waist while she let go of herself, falling on my couch and pulling me down with the pressure. I found myself on top of her, my right hand still on her waist. She cleverly turned, facing me with mouth wide open, eyes half closed in total submisson.

I was now on fire, my joystick on rage. I hesitated, weighing the risks, while her hands grabbed my head, pushing it down in between her exposed cleavage.

She was all mine, but is she worth the risk??

episode 198

We soon began kissing intensely, our passion intense and enormous. Each passing moment increased the heat in us. I was finally set to penetrate her.

“easy please” she suddenly begged, tightly hugging me and calming the passion in us.

“let’s take it slowly, i’m about busting in excitement. You are so sweet” she whispered in my ear, expertly caressing my back in the process. I breathed deeply, my head was about to explode.

“let’s go to the bedroom sweetheart” i moaned, picking up myself and dragging her up with me. She offered no resistance, blushing as she meekly followed me to the bedroom where i expertly closed in on her once again, cupping her b—–s softly. She moaned, wriggling in excitement.

I ripped out my shirt, ripped out hers, breathing heavily as i explored her sweetly curved bosoms. My lips soon fell on her nip.ples, hungrily sucking on them like a hungry child.

“arhhh val, arhhh” she moaned in response, lifting up her chest for me. Slowly i went for her trouser, unbuttoning and pulling it down halfway. She was over excited, so was I.

“what are you waiting for? Be fast” she urged me seriously. I quickly reached for my wallet and searched for a condom, but unfortunately i found none. My jaw instantly fell. My joystick went limp.
I hissed in disappointment as i quickly remembered that i was yet to replenish my stock after making use of the last one at home weeks ago {the period i travelled to make up with Adaora before she fell sick}.

It never really came to my mind nor did i attach much importance into getting new packs of condom, since Adaora wasn’t available {and i wasn’t into my old life anymore}. Life really has a way of changing things.

The young girl before me, curiously stared at me with eyes filled with questions. I swallowed hard, my heart beat slowly decreasing.

“i have no condoms” i confessed with apology. She bit her lips and looked away in embarrassment, covering her face with her hands as she backed me.

“i’m so sorry dear. I really wasn’t prepared. Please do not resent me. Please” i begged without thinking straight.

The words that came out from my mouth that moment were far from wise. My actions and body language were that of a confused young man. My lips quivered while my heart sank. The young girl before me still hid her face with embarrassment, saying nothing and making no move. I was very tempted to proceed with the love making without any protection.

“you don’t love me Val” she suddenly murmured, shocking me. I stared at her with surprise, unable to figure out if her speech was a form of question or a simple sentence.

Slowly, she pulled up herself, facing me with eyes coloured with shame and perhaps regret.
“you don’t love me” she said again, looking me straight in the eyes.

I couldn’t understand the motive behind such words. She knew of Adaora, she equally was very much aware of my dealings with Tessy.
“what does she want?” i wondered as i stared at her with concern. Quietly i reached out and held her.

“you know i like you alot. I’m also very fond of you. But you know i’m not a good person. You know my story very well and i just can’t understand you at this stage” i said calmly. She brought down her face, saying nothing.

“it’s better we remain friends. I’m tired of hurting the people i love. I don’t want to hurt you dear, trust me i’m a bad guy and i’m really sorry for taking advantage of you” i apologized meekly.

“i’m well aware of the risks. I wouldn’t have been here if my mind wasn’t already made up. I know what i want. I like you as a person. I like everything about you and wouldn’t it be better we try things out?” she quickly suggested, shocking me once again with her words. I couldn’t believe my ears. I couldn’t believe it was all real. She really was very pretty, young, and {looks quite rich}. She never appeared to me like a girl who could come after a guy like me. I was stunned beyond imagination.

But what i failed to reason was if she truly was in love with me or just coming after me for something perhaps playing out a new role for Tessy. To be frank the thought never crossed my mind because her actions and body language were so real, moreover she already had gained my trust after revealing Tessy’s plans to me months ago.

“Is she for real??” i asked myself over and over.

Episode 199

“maybe it’s a bad idea after all. I just disgraced myself, didn’t i??” she sadly asked. I smiled reassuredly, caressing her hand.

“you like me. I like you. I guess it will be bad if we fail to give it a trial” i said sweetly. She rolled her eyes and said nothing.

I couldn’t believe the words that came out from my mouth were mine.
“i really havn’t changed” i said to myself with a calm smile.

“are you sure of what you just said?” she asked with eyes beeming with smiles. I breathed deeply and hugged her.

“of course my dear, but we really have to take things slow” i whispered in her ear.

“take things slow, like no s-x?” she asked curiously. I drew back her head, stared into her eyes and nodded in affirmative.

“i can’t believe this is coming from a guy. No s-x hmmm” she laughed, pinching me in the process.

We finally slept holding each other. Such a peaceful and wonderful night it was. Deep down i somehow wished Adaora was with me.

We spent two days together before parting ways on the third day. I headed back to Enugu while she travelled back to her school. Perhaps if mum hadn’t called me on the second day to ask what was keeping me from returning home, i might have stayed a bit longer with her.
She really wasn’t happy we were parting so quickly. To her it was the end. She felt we won’t be seeing each other again.

“Val i hope this isn’t the end?. I really love you” she cried as i dropped her at Okigwe junction. I perfectly understood her fears. Deep down i shared the same sentiment with her, but i acted cool, smiled, kissed and reassured her once again that our affair would last a lifetime.

Hmmmm, finally my life as a corper has come to an end. A new era opened. How will it all end.
Will Adaora return to the country for my sake?. Will things get better between Tessy and i?. How about the new girl {The twin}?. Hmmm too many questions.

Watch out for the season 2, which will be the continuation of my story titled
