The
following day Alex called Onome, but she simply ignored his call, he sent
another sms;
‘Hi dear, being trying to reach you, please
call me when you get this message’
Onome
murmured to herself ‘well I never got this message’. Dr. Efosa was a cool ,calm and collected
fellow ,he took everything about Onome
so serious that even in a matter of weeks Onome was already charmed by his beautiful
character, a colleague of hers by name Efe noticed after a few weeks that Onome
glowed effortlessly and asked;
Efe:
you care to share to the good news?
Onome:
what good news?
Efe;
: well for some weeks now you have being glowing, what’s happening?
Onome:
I have always glowed
Efe:
yea, but this is quite different
Onome:
LOL, nothing really, have just decided
to give faith a fighting chance
Efe:
(knowing Onome’s history with Alex) Ooooh,that’s great I know you had smiled
again,it was just a matter of time.
Onome:
and guess what? The idiot has being trying to get in touch with me for days now
Efe:
what for? Did he forget anything
with you? He should ‘park well jor’.
Onome:
I have just simply ignored him, I won’t let him steal my joy…..I Onome Freeman
has decided to be happy and won’t let
nobody take my joy away from me.
Just
as Onome was saying this, Alex’s call came through, Efe told her to pick the
call and make it clear to him that things are not the same anymore, As soon as
Onome picked the call, Alex immediately started apologising for all the
emotional trauma he has put Onome through , asking for a second chance( since
everybody deserves one),and that if given one, he would make sure this ends
well(he probably meant marriage) . Onome simply told him that she appreciated
the efforts he made by calling but she’s found joy and nobody throws joy away
like a piece of shit, Alex went further;
Alex:
you are cheating on me?
Onome:
sorry I’m not sure I understand that.
Alex:
I never broke up with you, so why are you in another man’s arm?
Onome:
a few seconds ago, I was thinking you had changed and was actually considering taking a few steps, but I was wrong. Did
you say you never broke up with me? What do you call returning to Nigeria,
roaming about the street s of Abuja with a girl called Simisola and remaining
incommunicado for months? Yes you met me a naïve girl, but right now boo, I am
no longer that village girl you met, you can’t play on my intelligence.
Alex:
who told you about Simisola? She was just a friend, nothing serious, oh please
if this is all about Simisola, I think you got it all wrong. Simisola has gone
back to states,if that makes you feel better.
Onome:
Yes it does make me feel better! At least I now know what all these effort was
all about? You just needed a replacement for Simisola pending when she returns
from the states.
(At
this point Dr Efosa was around to take Onome out for lunch,so she decided to
end the call nicely )
Onome:
ok dear, my regards to your family ,will call you later ….hopefully
Alex:
waiiiittt, I waassss( Onome drops the call)
Onome
stood there looking at Dr.Efosa and said to herself in a low tone, she murmured
the words actually ‘ Edo boys can fine sha,chai!’ Efe heard but acted like she
didn’t and immediately sent her a ping “ babes take am easy, you sef fine’ the
two of them looked at each other and smiled. Dr. Efosa headed out with Onome
for lunch, during lunch Dr. Efosa couldn’t help but kiss Onome in the
public and immediately asked Onome; What
would you be doing this weekend? Onome for the first few minutes couldn’t say a
word as Dr. Efosa kept looking into her eyes as he asked……
Onome;( said to herself, wow, I am so coming over to
your place, but not wanting to sound so desperate) nothing much, just have a
few movies to watch
Dr.
Efosa: you know what they say about watching movies alone?
Onome:
what?
Dr.
Efosa: it gets boring,lol, so I will come pick you from work on Friday evening
plssssss……*don’t say no*
Omone
: ( was happy within herself ,but managed to say yes, like she was doing him
some favour)ermmmm ok, yes,that would be cool.
Efe
was already pinging Onome for details and mention specifically that Onome
should get her lunch too,she wrote “abeg
,try food for supporters club biko’.
As
soon as Onome got to the office, Efe asked for her food first of all, before
any other gist and then Onome filled her in on what happened, Efe was just
screaming “ correct guy, my brothers cannot carry last laiye, thanks for the
food though’
Friday
evening came, and Dr. Efosa was at Onome’s office at 5pm , they both went to
his place. It was a three bedroom flat,
Onome:
nice place
Dr
Efosa: thank you, though it’s boring staying here all alone.
Onome:
yea.
Dr
Efosa: (standing so close to Onome and holding her) the point is I need this
place to stop being a house, I need a home to always look forward to every day
after work.Onome, I have flaws, I am not a perfect man, please help love my
imperfections perfectly.
Onome’s
heartbeat at this point was so fast.he continued;
Please
be patient with me,* he again kissed Onome so hard* and afterwards said , hope my epistle wasn’t
too long?
Onome:
no it wasn’t
Dr.
Efosa: please make yourself comfortable.
They
watched movies all evening and laughed like they have known each other for
years and later got intimate and it was
quite relieving for Onome, as she’s got needs for a long time now, they were in
each other’s arms, Onome had her head on
his chest till the next morning, she felt this peace she isn’t had in a very
long time.
In
less than 2 weeks Onome was done with her project and afterwards graduation
ceremony came to pass. Onome’s mother was so proud of her daughter.Onome was posted to Akwa –Ibom state after
3months of waiting at home for youth service, her PPA (Primary Place of
Assignment) was a primary school in a very remote part of the state, she was a
bit excited about the change of environment, meanwhile Mimi was posted to a
first generation bank in Ogun state.
Alex
was all the while in touch with Onome, the two love birds were so in love, but
half way through Onome’s youth service yearAlex grew cold , he hardly called Onome let alone pick her calls, she
became so worried after sending a lot ofmessages without getting replies, she was so confused and didn’t know who
to confide in, after several thoughts she decided to call Mimi and fill her in
on the situation, Mimi advised Onome to forget about Alex and move on with her
life, this was so difficult for Onome, asshe truly lovedAlex, Onome was
so heartbroken that she flew in to Lagos from Akwa-ibom fortnightly to take
solace in the company of her aunt, Mrs Sylvia tried convincing Onome to take
her mind off it but she wouldn’t listen, after a few months Onome finished her
youth service and was fortunately
absorbed by an oil and gas firm in eket the following year(with Mrs Sylvia’s
connection though)she didn’t give up on Alex she kept trying every possible
means to get in touch with him.
Bymid AugustMimi called Onome to tell her she heard Alex was back to Nigeria, Onome
was so excited , Mimi was shocked that she could be excited by Alex after the
long silence, but of course she didn’t want to make it her business…like they say,
if it isn’t your own tail don’t wag it!
Onome
immediately put a call through to Alex, but he wasn’t picking, for several days
she tried but to no avail, it was then it dawned on her that something was
wrong somewhere, she called Mimi to tell her that Alex was ignoring her calls
and she replied;
Mimi:
Ignore him too!
Onome:
I wish it was that easy
Mimi:
look Onome I don’t know exactly what your problem is, you have a good job now,
why not focus on YOU< Alex isn’t the only man on planet earth for Christ
sakes!
OnomeL
****(started crying)
Mimi:
OMG! You don’t have to do this to yourself, just focus on you, very soon the
right man will come your way
Onome:
thank you….
Onome
was doing well and was now responsible for her family’s welfare, her mum and
brothers sometimes come to eket to spend time with her . On one occasion her
mother had to ask her about Alex, Onome broke down in tears while explaining to
her mum all that had happened and also told her mum that she wasn’t interested
in jumping back into a relationship for now, butmama Onome smiled and said (in pidgin English
though);
‘ Realise that if you have time to whine and
complain about something, then you have time to do something about it’
She went further;
‘ My dear daughter if crying and
complaining would solve all of this, I wouldn’t mind joining you, wipe your
tears, at different times in our lives, we have disappointments and become
broken , but the beauty of everything is the ability to wipe your tears and be
firm on your feet again, moreover its better a broken relationship than a
broken marriage’
Onome:
Thank you mama
Six
months later ,Onome’s boss sent her to Abuja to represent him at an event,
Onome was called upon to give a speech which she brilliantly did, Alex was
coincidentally asked to represent his firm, he came in while Onome was giving
her speech, he was lost for words for the first few minutes, he finally got
himself a seat and was waiting for when he would have a chance to speak with
Onome, at the end of the event Onome was busy networking for her firm and took
no cognisance of the fact that Alex was anywhere around her, Alex was unable to
speak with Onome that day, he finally resolved to call her,on getting home he
tried calling her but couldn’t reach her,(Onome was air borne at the time) he
decided to send a text;
‘ hey, fantastic speech! proud of you!’
Onome
finally got off the plane andswitched
on her phone,she received the message and got to know that Alex was at the
event and saw her, she decided to ignore the sms, as far as she was concerned
he is in the past now. While she was waiting for the official driver to come
pick her from the airport, a gentleman came to sit by her side, he smiled at
Onome and she out of courtesy managed to smile back, after a few minutes, he
tried to introduce himself;
Hi
, my name is Efosa
Onome:
Nice name!
Efosa:
(Smiled) you don’t seem to be in a good mood
Onome:
I am , I’m just not interested in telling you my name!
Efosa:wow….that’s
not nice
Onome:I
know
Efosa:hahahahaha,
you are a very funny character,ok but I’m pleading…pppppllllleeeaaasssseeeee
Onome:
(smiled) I’m Onome by name.
Efosa:
beautiful name. I work here in eket, I’m a medical doctor and from Benin city
Onome: I work and stay in eket too, I work
for an oil and gas firm as a business development executive.
Efosa: It’s a pleasure( shakes her)
Onome: same here.
Five minutes later Akpan, the driver
called Onome that he was around and so she had to leave, they exchanged
complimentary cards and Onome took her leave.

The following week, Friday precisely, it
was raining cats and dogs, and the usual Lagos flood was battling for land
ownership with the sons of the soil, so many people had their shoes in their
hands as they waited for buses at the bus stop ,Onome was not left out , as she
went to make her hair, she was busy trying to get back to the hostel and didn’t
realise her phone was ringing all the while ,she finally got to the hostel and recalling all that had happened the
weekend before she decided to go home for the weekend, she knew Mrs Sylvia was
a bit suspicious . As soon as she picked
her phone to call her aunt and tell her she was going to be home for the weekend and saw Alex’s missed calls,
she immediately called him back;
Onome: Hey
Alex: hi, have been calling like forever
Onome: so sorry , went to make my hair and
got to the hostel under the rain, didn’t even have an idea my phone was ringing
Alex: awwww…sorry dear, was just told by my
boss that I have training in Lagos; I’m actually coming with my boss.
Onome: wow! So when is the training?
Alex: it starts on Monday. I would love to
see my baby
Onome: same here, but my aunt is already
suspicious, so I have to be careful
Alex: so? Onome I mean well for both of us,
I can come see your aunt if you wish
Onome: wow…ermmm ok!
Alex later got introduced to Mrs Sylvia ,
the relationship was no longer a hide and seek game, the two love birds kept on
dating, three years later , Onome was in her final year, she got too busy with
project and all sorts, in fact sometimes she used Alex’s name to get away from
home to be with other friends, Alex in that same year had to go to the UK for
his masters, Onome wasn’t sure if she could cope without Alex for the next one
year ,she was really sad, but Alex reassured her of his love and also pleaded
with her to wait for him that he would definitely come back for her , but Onome
was really scared about Alex not coming back again or coming back with another
girl, she had so many things running through
her mind.
Alex : I would come back for you
Onome: I know, I’m just scared
Alex: of what?
Onome: a lot! What if you come back with
another girl? What if you get a job there and don’t come back?
Alex : I
am not coming back with another girl and yes if I get a job there , I
will come and take you there,.
Onome: I love you baby
Alex : I love you too……and by the way even
more than you think
Onome: *smiles*
A month later Alex left for the UK , Onome was
still working on her project,
Coincidentally , Onome had same project supervisor with Mimi , so they always
get to meet often even when they don’t want to. One Wednesday morning they were
both waiting for their project supervisor (Mr. Lanre) , Mr Lanre was in a
meeting with some lecturers in his office, so his secretary asked Onome and Mimi
to wait a little, as Mr Lanre was busy at the moment, so both girls sat
patiently opposite the secretary , Mimi started the conversation;
Mimi: see how she said the *at the moment*
same way MTN will say * the number you have called is not available at the
moment *
Onome: lol….you are just a silly girl
Mimi: so how’s our Alex?
Onome: did I hear you say ‘our’?
Mimi: hahahahahaha….relax jor
Onome: he’s fine, he called yesterday
Mimi: so when are you going to visit him?
Onome: babes!!! Relax…he’s in the UK for
his masters ….to study not play! Moreover he just left some weeks back, I had
better get done with school and go for my NYSC, He will be back soon .
Mimi: I know, but you know what they say,
life isn’t a dettol advert, if you don’t take care of your man, sweetheart,
another woman will!
Onome: (looked at Mimi like she was sizing
her up and finally got hold of her words) not to worry , mine would be like
dettol advert…silly!
Mimi: just saying
At this point the secretary beckoned on both girls to come see Mr Lanre
Mimi & Onome: Good day sir
Mr Lanre: Ehennnn…
(adjust his chair ) how are you girls doing?
Mimi& Onome: fine sir
Mr Lanre looked at their work, Onome was in
chapter four while Mimi was in Chapter five, Mr Lanre asked Mimi to go ahead and
start putting her work together, as hers was certified okay, he turned to Onome
and said ‘I am not pleased with your work , take note of the corrections I am
making , write it again and bring it back tomorrow, you can see your mates have
started typing their project work’
Ok sir…replied Onome.
As soon they left Mr. Lanre’s office, Mimi
said to Onome;
Mimi: Looks like you want to stress
yourself
Onome: How do you mean?
Mimi: trying to write this project all by yourself is
tedious, just give that office assistant five thousand naira, he would give you
a project of your choice from the Head of department’s store and then you can just
copy and paste….finish
Onome: I knew it
Mimi: knew what ?
Onome: you were too fast with your project,
I knew there was more to it .
