MEMOIRS OF A SLU..SHH KIDD #26 Saturday, November 6th 2010 Dear Diary 2.00pm For a few weeks now, I’ve been looking for a day when all I’ll do is –stay back in bed and do absolutely nothing. I decided to do that on Saturday. I woke up very hungry and was craving for Nsala soup. I updated my BB status about wanting Nsala Soup and that was when the messages started pouring in “Get Ada to do it” , “Marry Ada and you won’t have such issues” , “Ada is the Way forward”. I tried not to think about the suggestions but another part of me kept pushing me to call Ada. Eventually, I gave in and called her. Ada: Buzor, Kedu ? Nobs: Hey, Nne, Kedu? Ada: Odinma. You didn’t call me after I left and you never returned my calls. Nobs: I’ve been busy with work Ada: Even at night kwa? Nobs: Ada, I ‘ve been busy and I’m still thinking about what we discussed. Ada: Kedu maka Cha, Obinna and Chidinma? Nobs: They are fine oooo Ada: How are your parents? Nobs: They are fine oooo Ada: Okay. Have you eaten today? Nobs: No, achoro’m ofe nsala Ada: Ewo, Cha is not home? (To readers Cha is my cousin) Nobs: She said I should leave her alone. Ada: Ndo nna Nobs: Kedu maka Mama unu? Ada: She’s fine. Nobs: Okay Ada: I’m sorry Nobs: Sorry for what? Ada: Did you call me because someone told you to? Nobs: Told me what? Ada: Do you know Okey Okekpe, Nwa basili? Nobs: Yes, is he not the one that is based in London? Ada: Yes, he came back. Nobs: I heard but why are we discussing him? Ada: They are in my house. Nobs: Good for you. Ada: Buzor, is not like that Nobs: Is not like what? Ada: I have not said anything yet Nobs: Ada, if you want to talk to me, talk and stop playing around Ada: He’s at my house with his father and he said he wants to marry me. I don’t know what to say. Buzor, please are you really interested in marrying me? Nobs: Ada, if I hadn’t called you would you be telling me this? You are clearly interested in him, so go ahead. Ada: Buzor, please don’t do this to me? Nobs: Do what? You have your life all sorted out and you are pretending to care and all that. He’s in your house and I had to call to find out. You claim to love but then a man and his family are there to ask for your hand in marriage. I really don’t know why I’m discussing this ‘cos you really owe me nothing. Ada: (While crying ) Buzor stop! Nobs: Stop what? Stop saying the truth? You teased me with your virginity and then if I hadn’t called maybe I would have found out that you got married to Okechukwu through my mum. You don’t owe me any explanation and I’ll get over this as well. Ada: Buzor, you are hurting me. You are really hurting me and you need to stop saying all these. Nobs: Ada I need to go… Ada: Buzor, please tell me what to do. I love you but i’m scared and my family are of the opinion that you are not going to get married to me. Please tell me your mind. Nobs: Ada, your family seems to know what they want for you. He stays overseas, so follow your heart and obey your family. Remember to invite me to your wedding. Ada: Buzor, I love you and I can never love anyone like this. Nobs: Ada, you’ve made up your mind, just follow it. Ada: Chibuzor, please don’t say that. Nobs: Ada, call me after your introduction. Ada: Why are you doing this to me? Nobs: Ada, I have to go. Ada: Buzor, you are trying to make me hurt myself, right? Nobs: Don’t do anything silly. I’m not worth it Ada: Please let me come and see you Nobs: Ada, ask your husband before you come o. Ada: Buzor why? Gini kam mere? Nobs: Ada, call me later. (hangs up call) She called back several times but I didn’t pick. I guess this is it for me. I had my chance and I let it slip. I couldn’t sleep. I was confused on what to do? Call her and promise her marriage or just let her marry him? I asked myself that question all through the day. 360nobs/2010/11/memoirs-of-a-slu-shhkid-wk26/
