EPISODE 12

I was passing by her room, going outside to fetch

water from the well, I heard her crying. I felt pity

for her; but I just have to go, let me not waste her

time.

Two days later, early in the morning, seyi’s knock

on the door woke me up. I opened the door and she came in. She said since I wanted a break up, well

she will let

me be but only in one condition. She asked if I

remembered the first day she agreed to date me,

how I carried her on my arms from the gate into my

room. She said I should be carrying her like that

from her room to the gate every morning when

she’s ready to go to school, for 7days. With that, I

was free to go with fausa or whatsoever her name

was. I thought about her condition, if I refuse, she

won’t do me anything but, I felt like accepting it. I

want to do it for her, for the sake of the love we

had shared in the past. I accepted, she left my

room immediately. I went and took my bath, took

my breakfast and left for school.

I was in school when fausa called me, she asked

me where I was, I told her I was at the ATM stand,

close to Library in school. She said she was coming

to meet me there. 5 minutes later, behold

gorgeous, beautiful fausa walking towards me.

All eyes were on us as she hugged me so tightly.

She wore a black jean trouser with a pink beautiful

short sleeve top. She has this fine face and a beautiful body. After withdrawing, both of us left for

tantiz to take our launch. As we were going, all eyes were on us. The way she was walking and. smiling with me, that sweet confidence she oozes;

people were

just looking at us. As we got to motion ground

heading to tantiz, we saw seyi seated on top of the

block seat students normally seat on. She was

stirring at us as we walked by. I felt pity for her;

fausa saw her and laughed in a mocking tone. She

was so gentle and cool as she seated.

The next morning was Tuesday, I already knew that

seyi had a class by 8am. She had already finished

preparing, she stood at the entrance of the flat, it

seems she was already waiting for me. I had earlier

accepted her conditions and that

day was the day I would start. It was about 6:47am.

As I saw her, “good morning” she greeted me, “how

was your night” I asked, she didn’t even bother to

answer that; “waiting for you” she said. I stretched

out my right hand towards her shoulder area and

the other to her kneel. I carried her. As I carried her

out of the flat, heading to gate, my neighbors who

were outside saw us and began to laugh, hailing us,

“love nwantiti”

one of the elderly man there said, only if they knew

that that the love has gone sour, and that all was

not well with us. I dropped her outside the gate and

came inside while she left for school. I repeated the second day, third,

fourth and, on the fifth day was a Saturday, I didn’t

know where she was going that morning, but she

was all dressed up as

at 8am, I was washing my cloths outside when she

came to tell me that she was ready.

I greeted her, she didn’t even answer me. She

turned her back and left after telling me she was

ready.

I rinsed my hands and followed her. I know she was

pained, she has the right to be because I have

disappointed her, I failed her when I left her, I

allowed my friends to mock her because I was

cheating on her. As I carried her, I noticed she had

lost some weight, she was so lite on my hands. She

must have been thinking and worrying so much that

she doesn’t even know that she was losing weight

The 6th day was a Sunday, I carried her to the gate.

When one of my neighbor’s 6 year old daughter saw

us, she started laughing and said, “uncle is carrying

aunty seyi” I smiled when she said it.

The final day was a Monday, it was a public

holiday. I just woke up, as I was browsing on my

phone, a text came in, it read
