Written by @Miss-Ajomale<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The silence during dinner was so loud, I could hear my heart beat.<\/p>\n

He won\u2019t look at me or even make a full sentence; his hands didn\u2019t even slightly brush mine. I kept doing a full scan of the last six months since we decided to start dating officially. I didn\u2019t find any wrong I might have done. I tried to ask what the matter was, but for some reason I was tongue tied.<\/p>\n

Finally, when I found the courage to ask if we could leave, I realized we were at his place, so it was for me to leave when I was ready.<\/p>\n

I wanted to get up to leave, but my leg won\u2019t let me. I was starting to brew with anger when my heart said, what if it\u2019s a work issue. But then , he would have told me , we talk about everything, even to how much he makes, how much he loses if he does, the deals he\u2019s having issues closing, the ones has closed. So, it definitely can\u2019t be work.<\/p>\n

I thought to clear my throat to get him out of his trance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you should look for someone you could get married to\u201d, he said. \u201cYou are not getting any younger.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t sure I heard him right, like he had been lisping and I had just been gazing at his eye movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cTOUN!\u201d He tapped me and said<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, what did you say?\u201d, I asked drawing imaginary circles with my finger over my ear.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t make me repeat myself that took me a whole month to say.\u201c He whispered<\/p>\n

I had felt as if we had been on a cliff and he had just touched me with the tip of his finger and I had fallen off.<\/p>\n

I felt a sharp pain from the depth of my stomach, to my heart and straight to my head. I wanted to scream and ask if he had gone mad, why he didn\u2019t just let us stay sex buddies. No one forced him to assume boyfriend position. He wanted it and took it with honour, even took all of me with it.<\/p>\n

My feet felt hot and my head like it was contrasting. I knew it was best to plead the fifth amendment, because anything I say or pick up must surely be used against me in a court of law, considering the fact that we just came out of one very confusing case.<\/p>\n

I found a way to breath and finally spoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, why so?\u201d I asked with pain and sadness in my eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have decided to go back to London, I need to be with my son, I don\u2019t feel his mum takes good care of him.\u201c He said<\/p>\n

Sorry I forgot to say, he has a baby mama. A lousy one with so much drama at that, the drama in this narration made me skip that tiny little detail which is now apparently whale size detail.<\/p>\n

What he just bloated was the lamest thing I have heard in a long while, Its like a busty girl cutting off her boobs to spite her chest, it just doesn\u2019t make any sense at all.\u00a0 The child custody can be transferred, it doesn\u2019t mean the end of a good relationship, there must be something else up.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmmm\u2026. Please why do you think, that\u2019s a better solution? Is your mum not in London, she can\u2019t take care of her grandchild or will she make hell out of it. And even, can\u2019t the boy be here in Nigeria?\u201d I asked him a thousand and one questions in a single breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have thought about all that.\u201d He said, almost sounding like an imbecile to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut also, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m good enough for you.\u201d He continued, I was stunned for a moment, not this speech, I said to myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh! You can\u2019t be okay, is this some form of insecurity, because I honestly can\u2019t make sense of anything you have just said, and to crown it all who says to a girl he\u2019s meant to be dating to go married even if she not in any inch important to him. If you are bored, just say and stop chatting BS abeg\u201d I ranted losing my patience.<\/p>\n

I was more irritated than pissed. Picked my things and left. I scrolled through my phone as I tried not to break down and cry in a cab. There was no one to call, my sister never gets me, and so there was no use.\u00a0 Ini and I had not spoken since the burial.<\/p>\n

She had be trotting the globe and finding her peace and she said in the last and only text she sent me in six months, \u201coff to find my peace\u201d no call or updates on any social media.<\/p>\n

The only way I knew to channel this pain was to have sex. It was the only way to get back at him for now, for the few hours I\u2019m going to be feeling this pain. The funny part was I was the one who was meant to leave, I was due to off to London for my masters but I wasn\u2019t going to end it with him in the bid to purse my new goal.<\/p>\n

I told the cab man to turn and take me back to his house.<\/p>\n

He was still at the dining table, fiddling with his phone. I was just about to call you he said. I understand you mu\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n

I started taking off my clothes as I walked towards him, he tried to stop me, but I didn\u2019t let him. I had him where I needed him to be.\u00a0 Yanking off his clothes off him after I\u00a0 stripped myself. I looked for his meat pack, it was always happy to see me, it ignored his boss\u2019s unsettled nature, I sucked and gobbled him up, and we had the best sex till date.<\/p>\n

It lasted for 25mins and I\u2019m sure that was the best and worst 25mins of his entire life. I got up like nothing had happened, he faintly asked, with a smack on his face, \u201cWhere did that girl come from, where has she been this whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n

I smiled, wore my shoes and left.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been the longest two weeks of the break up, found myself another like interest (the sub rebound guy), this one is just to converse with and kill the worries.<\/p>\n

I had just picked up my visa from the embassy, was on my way home when I got a text. \u201cI\u2019m back, not back at that house though. Where do you reckon would be nice and tranquil to have lunch and talk\u201d<\/p>\n

Jisox! Finally, gist is here<\/p>\n

I remembered Folarin and I had gone to a restaurant just at the street before 1004 estates.<\/p>\n

She got there before me, which means she must have been staying on the island. She had already pierced her nose and got something tattooed at the side of one of her fingers. It looked really nice on her, wished I had the mind for any of those.<\/p>\n

She looked finer and glowed better than the last time I saw her. I looked a mess.<\/p>\n

\u201cBabe, what\u2019s wrong with you,\u201d she asked. \u201cYou look tired.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYea, tell me about it, well I decided to go for my masters, so I have been stressed a lot at work trying to do the handover and all.\u201d I narrated with little or no interest in that subject matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThought you were going to quit that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYea, I was, but you know how these things are.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd your lover?\u201d She poked the gist\u2019s nest.<\/p>\n

I laughed. \u201cBiko, story for another day.\u00a0 So what happened, why did you leave and where have you been?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t choose this fate you know. I had suspected for a while that something was off about my family, my other mum especially, she never talked about her childhood or family, no man ever came looking for her. In short no one came looking for her. Except people from work and the people she\u2019s in politics with and her doctor who is also in her political party. \u201c She began.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach time, I asked her she would say she was an only child and her parents died in a crash, just as my dad.\u201d She continued<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the whole drama, she would have long conversations on the phone arguing with someone. So one day, I decided to call the person back with her phone and it was a lady\u2019s voice. She had not let me talk before she said; \u201care you ready to give me my child\u201d then I hung up.\u201d I listened with rapt attention as Ini narrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI became more confused because you know we looked so alike and she never for once gave me a reason to doubt my maternity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day we found out I had a dad, I went back home and found her drunk with a knife in her hand so I tried to take it from her then she fell and hit her head. I ran out of the house to look for help, I couldn\u2019t carry her on my own. I called my weed guy to come help me when I found no one. On our way back, I saw a taxi driving away from the front of our house, but didn\u2019t pay any attention as it could be anyone. \u201c Ini continued<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got up, we found her in a pool of blood, she had been stabbed with the same knife, and I got scared so I cleaned my finger prints off the handle of the knife. It was my weed guy who even called the police with my phone because I couldn\u2019t even hold still and my alibi was a dealer who was also having police issues. He had to leave as soon as he was done with the call. I\u2019m still surprised they never asked who the male voice that called them was.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn my way down, I saw the maid walk in, I asked her if she had seen anyone come in to the house and she said it was just you. I asked where she had been when I was looking for help and she said she went to buy something down the road. Hence why the police came to get you, and I\u2019m so sorry about that.\u201d She finally revealed why I was arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy real mum\u2019s part?\u00a0 Well that\u2019s another hell, lets order and I would gist you as we eat, hopefully you don\u2019t choke.\u201d Ini trying to download to me all the gist I have missed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, she said she had noticed everything that had happened to her, was more of intentional then mere coincidence. But she wasn\u2019t sure why. While she was in jail, one of the warders told her that if she ever left prison, she should never go home or stay close to her family.<\/p>\n

Sometime again, her sister brought fruits for her and somehow she forgot to take them till the evening of the next day, she went to one of the warders she had made friends with to please help her cut it with knife as she wanted to have the oranges the normal way and not peel the skin with her hand and do the tangerine style. But when the oranges came back, the insides were dark purple. Then she knew she had a battle to fight.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wanted to tell her mum, but she didn\u2019t know how to without breaking her heart any further. So she made a plan with the warder, who had a brother who was a doctor to fake her death. She said it wasn\u2019t her that was buried; it was a banana tree stem, two actually so the casket would feel a bit heavy.\u201d I listened with all my heart to what seemed like Super Story.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe stayed with the doctor for a year, till she could feel better and get herself back. \u00a0She sent the doctor to go check on her mum, but she had died from a stroke. Well who would lose that much and not be dead already.\u201c Ini continued her heart wrenching story, now I see why she wanted to disappear.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe tried to kidnap me away but she dint want to raise any alarms and besides she saw I wasn\u2019t suffering so she left.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cShe found my dad two years ago, tried to tell him, but telling him would spoil her revenge plans as he would try to talk her out of it and she didn\u2019t want that. Besides she was married and didn\u2019t want him coming around so she told him she left me with her sister because she didn\u2019t want any future issues with her husband.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was the one who sent the maid and the biggest joke of this is Olumide\u2019s mum, my dad\u2019s wife also met with the maid and paid her.\u00a0 She suspected he and my dead mum where having an affair. He had come to look for me, but she won\u2019t let him, instead, she threw herself at him and well he rejected her and stopped coming to the house, till that day he came.\u201c I almost screamed at the quiet restaurant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait.\u201d I cut in, \u201chow did you know this part? I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, the maid told me who the other woman paying her was, but I told her not to tell the police as there was no need. But I made sure I let the woman know I know what she did.\u201d She said<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the maid\u2019s boyfriend that stabbed her. He saw met her on the floor almost life less and still stabber her because he wanted to get paid.\u201d She explained<\/p>\n

\u201cI told the police to drop the case because we don\u2019t even know who paid them this time. My mum said this wasn\u2019t her and olumide\u2019s mum says her boys found her dead already.<\/p>\n

Well, just I, she and the maid know she\u2019s a part of the plot. But I still don\u2019t believe her. I only told the police to drop the case as that was the only way they could shut up and no one goes to jail. There\u2019s enough heart break in the world already, no need to add more.\u201d I was speechless at all the details, I forgot my own heartbreak gist I wanted to give her.<\/p>\n

I sat there hopping to be in shock but instead, there was a big breeze of relief following through me. I had for some reason thought it was her, humans can be that twisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what are your plans now that all this is over?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, settle in nicely. Sell that house sharply,\u201d she said laughing. \u201cAnd then spend all these cash wisely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
