Fausa Eleja (episode 11)

I told her it was a guy thing and assured her it was

just important we see, talk for just a short time and

then return to be with her. I decided to freed myself

fom her that moment because I could vividly

deduced from her look that she had missed me so

much and was about to inititated a romantic play which would not lead to sex like we do before, not

knowing my thought was far different from her

otive..................so, I lied, I would be return that day

which I didn't keep. I spent the night in fausa place

at gate. It was one of the most memorable night of

my life. Fausa’s apartment was great, cool. And

there was constant power supply.

With everything that happened and fausa's

frustration, I became anxious of moving in to join

her. Though she was mounting pressure on me; I

guess it was high time I take the decision, let seyi

know that I was no longer in love with her again.

All throughout the night, my phone was switched

off, I didn’t want to receive seyi’s call. I know seyi

will be worried. As I was going back home, I

thought about the first day I laid my eyes on seyi,

that first love for her that struck me, all that had

faded away. I was asking myself how. I thought of

what seyi will do when I tell her that I want a

break-up; she loves me so much, I loved her but,

that was then, that love had varnished. I am now

thinking of a new life with Fausa. I got to the

house, immediately I entered the gate, seyi was

sitting on a bench on the veranda, I guess she was

worried and was waiting for me to come in. She ran

towards me immediately, I thought she wanted to slap me but no, she hugged me, “where have you

been since. I have been trying your line but it was

switched off,” she said. I told her I slept over at my

friends place. “You should have atleast called me,

you got me worried” she said, I told her I was sorry

but there was no network coverage at the area. I

lied to her, I told her that the friend I went to visit

(seye), took me to another friend’s place, and there

was no network, and we couldn’t come back, we

had to sleep over. She dragged me to her room. She

was just talking of how she tried my mobile number

several times, called couple of my friends to know

if I was with them.

I kept mute as she talked. She noticed I was not

talking as she talked,

“What is wrong with you, are you okay” she asked,

“I want us to break up,” I replied her. She looked at

me as if I was joking.

“Stop joking around joor, na hunger dey do you this,

you better wait let me cook so you eat” she said to

me. As she stood up to leave my presence, I held

her left hand and dragged her back, “I am damn

serious, let’s just go our separate ways” I said to

her. She laughed out loud, “leave my hand joor, I have something on fire, let me go and check it

before you start all this your play” she said again;

“am moving into Fausa’s house by Saturday” I said,

immediately she hear that, she turned around and

faced me,

our eyes met, I saw those emotions in her eyes, the

pain that I have disappointed her.

“Why, how manage, when, what are you saying” are

you with your sense atall? Moving and be staying

together with a witchhhhhhhh.......she screamed;

she was finding it difficult to alter words out of her

mouth. i released my hands on hers, I left for my

room, she followed me immediately, as I entered

my room, she followed me, “wait, I want to

understand what you are saying” she said, “you

mean you are leaving me for fausa”

she said again, “yes” I replied; “Is this a joke or

what” she asked, I didn’t know what to say again

as I looked into her eyes as tears was rolling down

her cheeks. I knelt down,

held her two toes, begging her to forgive me. I

know she felt betrayed and disappointed in me.

Even me sef dey feel bitter. Looking at her sharing

those tears in my presence, I wished that love I

once had for her will come back. Indeed I have truly betrayed her, how I wish I could find a way of

making it up to her.

She turned and left my room, leaving me still

kneeling down. I stood up, brought out some of

those things she bought for me, took them to her

room, she was sitting on her reading chair holding

a picture we took together. I dropped those things

on her table. As I was leaving, she called my name,

I turned to her, “so you are serious that you are

leaving me” she asked,

I was totally speechless, I don’t know how to

answer her. I was still looking into her eyes, “Yes I

am” I said, I turned around and left.
