*** The Story That Has Never Been Told! *** Episode 45 ;) With the thought of Nasa’s scheduled visit occupying much of my mind I quickly packed up my travelling bag in readiness for tomorrow’s journey back to school. I informed my parents of my proposed departure in the night just after we had finished dinner. Mum was not happy with the development. She complained that we were yet to have a mum- son moment since I returned. I promised her I would return as soon as we closed for the semester or whenever I have less work in school. My explanation still did not stop her from talking me late into the night as we discussed over countless issues both the important, the less important, the funny, and then the outrightly ridiculous. She seemed to always need me by her side at all times. I still remember how she escorted me to the park during the first time I was travelling to Enugu for my university education. She had prepared a very delicious ‘gallopy’ (full of chewables) soup which she emptied into a mini ‘cooler’ for me. She paid for the fare, secured a comfortable sit for me, helped arrange my luggage and even went to plead with the driver not to drive recklessly. Her actions attracted the attention of other passengers who laughed at our drama. One passenger had to ask her if I was the only child. Though I was really shy, maybe a bit embarrassed, but she’s my sweet mum and I love her. . I arrived Agbani, Enugu state, few minutes past noon and immediately called Nasa. . ”Hello Nasa, how’re you and how’s your day going?” I began. ”Haaa Spain, am fine o and my day is ok. Have you returned?” Nasa inquired with a little urgency in her voice. ”Mmmn, yea… I came back about two hours ago,” I lied. A lie told to pass a message of ‘am not too anxious to meet you’. . Girls usually begin their unnecessay ‘inyanga’ once they sense anxiousness in guys. Never give a girl the room to suspect the motives behind your interest in her. To my guys, learn how to manage your emotions especially during the wooing period. . ”Since two hours ago! And you didn’t bother to even call me then,” she screamed before her voice dropped as she made the last sentence. ”Not my fault na. I was so tired and hungry when I returned and besides my phone battery was flat. Na just now dey bring light abi you no see am?” I explained with another lie while holding unto the excuse that electricity was just restored a while ago: an information I got from a neighbour as soon as I alighted from the bus in front of my house. ”Ok na, no probs. So, can I come now?” she asked. ”If you think you can still make it,” I replied with an open offer which hid my delight to her request. ”I will be in you house in the next one hour. Keep something for me o,” Nasa concluded in a happy tone. We bid each other goodbye and then prepared for the meeting. The room needed only little ‘dressing’ as Uche already arranged it before travelling for the weekend hustle. So I used the little time to ‘warm’ my soup which mum had prepared early in the morning for me to travel with, ate to my fill and then took my bath. . Nasa came just as she had promised but, unfortunately, she came with two other friends of hers – Zubi’s girl and another dark complexioned pretty girl I later got to know as Ifeoma (I’ll refer to her as Ifyblack). I was really disappointed with the development. ”Why would she come with not just one but two other girls when she made me believe it was going to be only her?” I angrily questioned within. I offered them sits when they came but Nasa chose to sit with me on the bed. She told her friends to relax and feel free. She was even making it to look like they had accompanied her to her long-term boyfriend’s house. One of the things I like about Nasa is her extrovertism. She practically made sure her friends were comfortable. She went to my movie catalogue, selected a nice Nollywood movie and then inserted it to play. I was still quietly sitting on my bed as I watched the unfolding events. I was kind of shy since I was the only guy in the midst of three pretty girls. As the movie played, Nasa came and lay on the bed with her head resting on my stretched leg. I brought my right hand to her head and gently stroked her beautiful braids while my left hand which rested on her chest carefully caressed her neck region. ”Ladies, what do you care for?” I asked after about ten minutes had passed. ”Yes o, wetin una wan make we bring? Make una leave film talk o,” Nasa chipped in surprisingly. ”Wetin una cook today? Abeg, I wan chop whatever food una cook,” Ifyblack answered. ”Me too. I don taya for that hostel food. Abeg, wetin dey house?” Zubi’s girl agreement to Ifyblack’s suggestion. The girls’ replies came to me as a shock. Not because of their choice of entertainment but because of the manner with which they presented their requests making it appear as if something had been going on between Nasa and I. ”What do I care kwanu? Dis people dey even make the job easier for me sef,” I happily concluded. ”Ok ladies, we’ll be back,” I openly said before helping Nasa to her feet but as we made to leave the room she playfully gave Zubi’s girl a pat on the back while she returned her gesture with a wink and they both laughed. Hmmm, what are these girls up to? . ”Nasa, I don’t know whether your friends serious say dey wan eat wetin I cook o. But I get enough soup and garri for here,” I said as soon as we got to the kitchen. ”Yes na, dem serious o. Wey the food make I prepare am?” Nasa answered with much eagerness. ”I don warm the soup already. Na just eba remain. See garri, see kettle, na water dey dat bucket, check plate for that basket. I dey come now now make I collect something from Eke,” I explained before I rushed out. I needed to collect room key from Iyk (my landlord’s son) so I can take Nasa there for a private meeting when her her friends would be busy eating in my room. Luckily, I met Iyk on sit in his workplace. Then he was doing phone repairs for people while still waiting for his name to be published in the NYSC list. ”Good afternoon Oga Iyk, how work na?” I asked immediately I walked into his shop. ”Aah nwokem, how far? Dis one you came by this time wetin happen?” Iyk answered while still focused on replacing the faulty mouthpiece of nokia phone he was working on. ”Abeg, I get runs wey I wan arrange for your room. I for do am for my own room but the babe show with two of her friends. Anyways dat wan no matter as I dey plan to arrange one of her friends for you as you be my oga,” I said while employing Law 13 (When Asking for Help, Appeal to People’s Self- Interest, Never to their Mercy or Gratitude) of the famous 48 LAWS OF POWER. ”Spain, make sure the babe fine o. You know my type na,” Iyk said while handing over the key to his room to me. ”You no get wahala. The babe make sense die. Oya na, later tinz,” I said before dashing out of his shop with the speed of light. I stopped by a pharmacy shop where I bought a pack of Gold Circle condom in preparation for any eventuality. With an optimistic mindset I waltzed home.
