Yomi has been avoiding my call, sms….he’s
just been so quiet on me. Every attempt to reach him has proved abortive. I was
at sahad stores last Thursday and I ran into an old friend of mine by name
Didi.
Kofo: hallo dearie
Didi: woah Kofo, hi, how have you been?
Missed you greatly, you are not looking bad for a corper oh *smiles*
Kofo: thanks dear, so what brings you to
Abuja?
Didi: here to see a friend, sup with OUR
YOMI (yea, she emphasized the ‘our yomi’)
Kofo: he’s fine
Didi: well I was at oniru last week for a
function and I saw Yomi with a lady, he was all over the lady, and it was
obvious there was a lot than makes the eye, I am sorry, but I just felt you
deserve to know what your man has been up to, Kofo you deserve to know the
truth.
Kofo: Thanks dear, on the other hand I
think I deserve what Yomi is doing to me
Didi: how do you mean?
At this point I broke into tears quietly,
Didi helped me downstairs where we got a taxi that took us to a close by eatery
in area 11, we sat and talked, I told her everything, she blamed me and
actually told me I was at fault. So she collected Yomi’s mobile number and
dialled using her phone immediately, as soon as the call went through ,a lady
picked the phone and told Didi to call back that Yomi was in the shower, Didi
and I put 1 and 1 together to make 11 not 2 this time. 15minutes later I called
Yomi using my phone and surprisingly he picked the call, and the conversation
went thus;
Kofo, hello baby
Yomi; yea sup
Kofo: Yomi I know I have hurt you real bad,
and I sincerely apologise for everything
Yomi: why are you apologising, has Mr.
Osita abandoned you?
Kofo: baby you abandoned me, and it really
makes me feel empty.
Yomi: Kofo you had a lot of time to make
things right but you chose not to, you instead preferred to invest that time in
Mr. Osita, so it’s cool. It’s really difficult trying to move on, I am trying
and I advise you to do same.
…..Ends call!
The following week, the office approved a
one week off duty for me to prepare for my POP, so I took the opportunity to
travel to Lagos, on getting to Lagos I explained the whole issue to my parents
who of course knows Yomi very well, condemned me for my actions, my dad was
particularly disgusted by my actions and told me he wasn’t even going to talk
to Yomi about anything and that I deserved all that Yomi is throwing at me. I
immediately realised this is my cross and I had to bear it alone, I went to
Yomi’s house, I couldn’t utter a word I broke into tears and we just stood there staring at each
other, Yomi’s mum noticed the tensed atmosphere and came by to talk to us both,
so we sat and Yomi told his own part of the story ,when the mother asked if I
had anything contrary to what Yomi has said I said ‘ No ma, I take
responsibility for everything, it’s my fault and I sincerely apologise for
everything’ She was kind of impressed and pleaded with Yomi to accept my
apologies and left the two of us to talk, Yomi was still very angry at me that day,
so I left .
The following day I was there again to
plead with Yomi (this cross is a huge trunk of wood), He eventually accepted my
apologies with the effort of his dad who was around to put in a few words for
me. It was a huge relief to get my man back, woah; I will never get on Yomi’s
nerves again…..Never!
Two day s later, Dotun (Yomi’s brother)
organised a surprise dinner for Yomi and I, initially I thought it was just
Yomi and I who were there, never knew a few friends and family were around, but
were seated quite a distance from us, after dinner ,Yomi went on his kneels
holding a ring and said these words;
Kofo Daniels, you have been a soul mate, it
took us like forever to get to this point, at a point you left me and made me
feel so empty, please do not leave me again, come and let’s build a home
together, be the mother of my kids and be my wife, Kofo MARRY ME
Kofo: YES YES YES I WILL MARRY YOU
We hugged and Yomi kissed me passionately
and then I heard people clapping, when I turned I saw our families and friends.
It felt so amazing to get to this point, I am indeed glad and relieved.
The proper introduction is on the 15th
of June, 2013.
Yes Kofo is going to be saying I DO soon.
Thank you all for keeping up with Corper
Kofo.
……..The end/
