Life as a corper
EPISODE 146
By 7:30pm i sent a text to Tessy, that i wouldn’t be joining her for the party {without giving any excuse}. Just like i feared, my message infuriated her. Few minutes after it delivered, she gave me a call which i failed to answer, instead i switched off my phone and joined Adaora in her room.
Adaora and i had a wonderful night, we made love over and over without getting bored.
“I love you with all my heart dearest” i whispered to her.
“me too darling, i love you more than you can ever imagine, but we really have something to discuss tomorrow” she replied and kissed me, putting me in deep suspense. I tried to get her to talk but she adamantly refused.
“it’s just a matter of hours dear, have patience” she smiled.
Early the next day, precisely by 7:30am, i returned to my room and switched on my phone which rang fifteen minutes later. A call from Elinor which kind of surprised me.
“what could she be calling for?, or is Tessy with her?” i wondered. I had great urge to ignore the call, but i forced myself and answered it.
“can you come outside please?” she asked without even saying a common “hello”.
“outside where?” i asked with surprise,
“come outside jor, don’t waste my time please” she commanded and hung up. I breathed deeply, thought over her words, brushed, changed my clothes and went out to the gate. There stood her car parked across the slightly busy street. I was a bit shocked but not too surprised to see her. I frowned and walked over to her car. She opened the passenger’s door for me, i scanned the street and hurriedly entered, afraid Adaora might show up that moment.
“you weren’t at the party last night?” she asked coldly. I looked at her and shrugged, saying nothing.
“my dear friend Tessy is really very unhappy with you, but it was good and thoughtful of you to disappoint her and i will want it to continue that way. I’m very serious about it and i never eat my words. You can call it a threat, i don’t care. Just stay away from her and we are good. You are of no use to me any longer. The new guy Kingsley is in a better position to take over your place. I have groomed him for that, moreover he is more matured, handsome and intelligent than you will ever be. I came all the way here to warn you for the last time. Back off my business, else i burn you to ashes” she threatened seriously.
Her threats really were very provocative and daring, but unfortunately i was clueless on how to deal with it.
“I was very determined to end my relationship with Tessy before this moment, but after hearing your threats i don’t think i will go on with it again. What happened to your manners? You are a lady for christ sake, forget the age difference between us. I can still marry someone your age if i choose to. Nawa for you oo, see how you are just threatening me because of money. I won’t leave Tessy alone, come and kill me let me see” i spoke out angrily for the first time. She gasped in surprise and stared at me. She couldn’t believe her ears. Perhaps she was mistaking my gentle nature for weakness.
“val you just shouted at me?” she asked, “my God i can’t believe this, hope you still remember your place?” she asked,
“i have class and prestige more than you ever will. What can you even do to me?, the highest i think you can do is just to turn my girl against me. Goodluck with it” I barked and left her car, leaving behind a bewildered Elinor. Truly i never knew when i got the courage to say all those words to her.
Even though i was happy for myself, i really wasn’t strong at heart. I had no choice than to call Obinna immediately, because just like my friend Frank, Obinna was another rascal who knew his way around things.
“so finally you decided to call me after all these while, you no dey try at all, shift jor” he said angrily as soon as he answered my call.
“please you go fit show for Adaora’s house now? I dey there abeg” i pleaded,
“hmmm okay no wahala” he accepted, easing my mind.
___
Breakfast was ready by the time i walked into the living room. I smiled and joined Adaora on the dining table.
“where went you?” she asked,
“i felt like jogging this morning, which i went out to do” i lied.
“liar mtcheew” she sighed and passed over the tea pot to me.
“i thought you wanted us to travel today, what happened?” she asked after a while,
“i had to cancel it, because i saw you arn’t ready and willing to travel” i replied.
“don’t blame me ooo” she eyed me. I smiled and shook my head.
“but seriously, i think we depend too much on our parents, you in particular. You report everything we do to your mum and she makes most decisions for us, arn’t we supposed to be independent, free to make our own decisions?” she asked.
“you are very right dear, but i think you are the one guilty of it. You always report me to anyone who cares to give you a listening ear” i accused her.
“i only report you, when your obnoxious behaviour gets out of hand. I’m talking about another thing, which is decision making” she replied. We argued throughout the course of the meal and could have continued, had Obinna not interrupted us with his presence. The sound of the door bell marked the end of our argument. I heaved a sigh of relief while Adaora went to open the door for him.
my room, minutes later
“my guy Elinor is on my neck, you still remember her right??” i asked, he nodded,
“The old b.it.ch is threatening me. I need your full help” i opened up in the privacy of my room. Obinna scoffed and smiled.
“you can never win a game without aggression”

“so what will you want me do for you?” he asked after listening to my story. I shrugged and shook my head.
“i really don’t know bro, i Just don’t know” i replied,
“hmmm then forget all about Elinor and move on with your life. I can’t advice you to soil your hands over something so useless. Bad things are meant for guys like me and not for someone like you. Sometimes it’s so hard to understand something so far fetched from reality” he advised.
“nawa for you oo, i invited you to help me come up with something and you are here playing Nice guy, i don’t like it oo” i complained, feigning anger.
“alright fine, i have seen you are determined, so just tell me what’s on your mind” he prompted.
“i don’t know, maybe watching her will do, as in 24hours surviellance. I want to know her in and out, everything about her” i murmured.
“with what budget?, don’t you know watching someone is one of the most difficult, stressful and dangerous job you can ask anyone to do. The guys in this town are not smiling, i don’t think you can foot the bill, moreover for how long will they watch her?. Just think of another thing bro, like terrorizing her, messing her up, damaging her car, something so simple but painful, something that can be done in a day” he explained.
“fine mess her up and damage her car then, how fast can you do it?” i asked,
“you are crazy, i look like a hitman to you? I will bring guys who will do the job, but budget on 100k” he grinned,
“hundred thousand Naira?” i gasped,
“how much were you thinking?, havn’t you seen the type of security we have in this town? Don’t you want a clean job?” he asked, “the guys i’m getting for you are good, they have helped me twice. Elinor according to your narration loves going out at night, which really will make it a bit stressful. They will harass her, get her handbag and handsets for you, if there is anything more you want them to do like pouring gasoline on her, it could also be done. All these are with guarrantee that nobody will mention your name if things go bad, i’m not getting campus boys for you” he explained like a professional. I scratched my head and stared at him suspiciously. “perhaps he could even be the gang leader” i reasoned.
“but seriously how do you expect your guy to blow 100k just like that?” i asked,
“if you play your cards well, you could end up making the payment with Tessy’s money, use your head jor. I thought you are a graduate? Nawaoo, simple go back to Tessy since you are doing all these because of her, show her your good side and run the package, It’s a win win situation. You can’t fight dirty without getting dirty, it’s time to be rugged my boy, but don’t say i pushed you into it” he grinned.
I was very determined to show Elinor that i had balls. I nodded in agreement to Obinna’s plans. My next step was to pay Tessy a visit. I was scared but determined.
I really can’t say what was pushing me, perhaps it was my pride or maybe i was being controlled by an evil genie. I truly wasn’t myself.
“so what will you want me do for you?” he asked after listening to my story. I shrugged and shook my head.
“i really don’t know bro, i Just don’t know” i replied,
“hmmm then forget all about Elinor and move on with your life. I can’t advice you to soil your hands over something so useless. Bad things are meant for guys like me and not for someone like you. Sometimes it’s so hard to understand something so far fetched from reality” he advised.

EPISODE 148
I quickly prepared, dressed up and went over to Adaora’s room.
“Baby i’m going out with Obinna, i won’t take long” i said and kissed her,
“where are you going with him?”, “you know i don’t like that boy, he creeps me out” she murmured.
“i know dear, thanks for worrying about me” i smiled and kissed her forehead.
____
{Thirty nine minutes later}
Obinna dropped me at Tessy’s house, gave me some words of encouragement and drove away. I breathed deeply, brought out my phone and dialled Tessy’s phone number, praying she was at home.
“what do you want?” she angrily asked as soon as she picked my call.
“i’m at your gate” i informed her. She kept quiet for a while, perhaps she couldn’t believe her ears.
“for real?” i heard her ask,
“yea i’m serious” i answered.
“come right in you devil, what are you waiting outside for?” she said excitedly. I hung up, heaved a sigh and walked into the compound.
“see your way?” she murmured with an accusing smile when i finally got to the sitting room. I breathed deeply and said nothing, because she wasn’t alone. she was with her daughter and one other teenager whom i felt was a relative.
“let’s go over to the second living room, we have a lot to discuss” she announced and led the way, locking the door as soon as we got in, turned and faced me with a frown. I looked around me, memories of my first intimate experience with her came running into my head. It was on that very room that i touched her intimately for the first time.
“stop avoiding my eyes and look at me” i heard her say coldly, “what you did last night was so unbecoming of you, i feel like slapping you this moment urrhhhh” she scolded. I looked down into her eyes and smiled, silencing her with my eyes. She bit her lips and eyed me.
“I’m very sorry dear, what excuse do i give?, anyway here i’m. I came to surprise you?” i murmured, held her face, brought down my lips, and kissed her softly.
“i’m scared of our relationship, because it’s something that could consume us. I really don’t want to involve myself in something i can’t finish” i confessed, but she really wasn’t listening, her eyes were already closed, her body tightly clinging on me and igniting the passion between us.
“oh Val stop the talking please” she begged, fell on a couch and dragged me down with her. We were soon kissing, licking, fondlingand smooching hotly.
“let’s go to my room, it’s more comfortable there” she soon begged, pushing me away. We walked into her room via the {connecting} door between her room and the small living room.
She flung off the last apparel on her body, and positioned herself for me.
“i want the full dose, please hurry” she begged jokingly as i wore my rubber.
****
forty minutes later,
She came out of the bathroom, smiled and climbed over me,
“you are so hot and handsome, you totally filled me up” she whispered happily. I breathed deeply and smiled. I was very glad she was happy with my performance, a perfect opportunity to ask for money, but i was clueless on how to go about it. I have never asked for money from a stranger.
Oh yes, she really wasn’t a stranger anymore, but i just couldn’t.
“what’s the matter, you look worried?” she soon asked with concern.
“it’s nothing serious dear, I will be travelling back to Imo state tomorrow” i replied. She kissed me and stared into my eyes.
“i wish i could make you stay” she murmured. I breathed deeply and smiled at her, my phone rang that moment interrupting us. It was Adaora who was calling.
“hi baby are you still with Obinna?” she asked,
“yea baby, but i’ll soon be on my way home” i answered.
“please be fast, i’m home alone and bored” she begged,
“just give me fifteen minutes, okay!” i promised. She laughed and hung up.
“it’s Adaora, she wants me home, something probably came up” i explained to Tessy who was frowning because of the call i just recieved.
“i have to get going” i kissed her, forgetting the issue that brought me to her house. But did i really forget about it?. The truth was that i couldn’t get myself to ask her for money.
“i guess i won’t be seeing you for a while?” she murmured sadly when we got to her sitting room {minutes later}. I smiled and shrugged.
“you know time flies nowadays, you never can tell” i laughed.
“you really don’t want me to give you a ride home?” she asked,
“no dear, i already said no when you earlier asked in your room, didn’t i?” i replied. She shrugged, said nothing and followed me to the gate where we got the greatest shock of our lives.
There sat Adaora on top the boot of a black Honda car, with a dark slim girl facing us. I couldn’t believe my eyes neither did Tessy. We simply stopped and stared at them with shock.
“here you are?” Adaora laughed coldly,
“Adaora!” i exclaimed.
I couldn’t believe she followed me to Tessy’s house. I knew my lies weren’t really going to do much again for me. I knew she has gotten the little prove she wanted.
“i thought you said you were with Obinna? Why lie to me? I thought you guys were just business partners or whatever?” she asked insolently.
“stop talking nonsense girl, please respect me” Tessy interrupted her, giving me the opportunity to think fast.
“you are a respectable lady right?, Then why lie to me, why hide something so hard to hide from me?, are you scared of me or what? Why can’t you own up if you truly care and like him, that’s what i will do as a lady” Adaora challenged her, sending my nerves flying high. I had no doubt Tessy would fall for her trick.
Luckily she sighed, turned and returned to her compound without another word, leaving me to my fate. Adaora looked at me, shook her head, breathed deeply, and left with her friend who drove the Honda {car}.
I was lost, broken and down. I really can’t say how i managed to get home, but i did get home to meet another shock which awaited me. Adaora stood at the entrance door{which led to the apartment}, with my bag lying in front of her.
“it’s over dear, I can’t take it anymore, you also not spending a minute in this house ever again. Your things are in the bag, you can check them if you want. Bye bye” she kicked the bag to me, stepped out of the apartment with her friend, locked the door and left the house, leaving me heartbroken and alone.
I knew for sure that it was the end. I weeped uncontrollably.
OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS FINALLY COLLASPED..
EPISODE 149

I sat outside with tears in my eyes and thought over my life.
“I have lost Adaora, lost my happiness, betrayed my family and disappointed everyone. How do i face them?” i wondered. I knew Adaora was dead serious when she said it was all over between us, unlike the previous occasions when it simply fell out of her lips without any iota of seriousness.
“i’m lost” i cried, “where do i go from here?, will Obinna’s place be condusive to spend the night?, what excuse will i give him?” i wondered, shaking my head unhappily as i remembered all that led me to Tessy’s house that very day.
“or should i go back to Tessy?” i wondered sadly, shaking my head in regret because i knew it was the most insane thing to do.
“what if Adaora is still watching me?” i reasoned. My phone rang minutes later, shaking me out of my thoughts. It was Tessy who was calling.
“how far?” she asked,
“i’m finished, lost and stranded” i confessed,
“where are you?” she asked. I gave her the exact location without hiding anything.
“i’m coming right away, just stay tight” she assured and hung up. I couldn’t believe the situation i found myself in, i equally wasn’t prepared for it, even though i knew it was something that meant to happen, judging by my way of life.
Tessy showed up twenty five minutes later. I joined her in the car, she slowly drove to a small cafe which had just three customers in it.
“just relax and breathe deeply everything is going to be alright” she assured sweetly when we settled down at the cafe.
“Adaora really isn’t just an ordinary girl to me, she’s my wife to be, i love her alot, our families are in this together, moreover she’s worth double my inheritance” i cried.
Tessy’s simply held her jaw and listened attentively as i poured out my heart to her. I also told her my story with Adaora, how it all began and the truth about my family. I truly couldn’t control myself. I wanted to share my burden, my pain and my sadness with a friend. She happened to be at the right place at the right time. Her face coloured as she listened, at a point her eyes melted with unshed tears. My story really had an effect on her.
“hmmm what a touching story, i swear i would have done much more than locking you out if was Adaora, but seriously she couldn’t have ended it just like that because you guys really have come along way. I guess she takes over from her mum, i fairly know the woman, she’s a very uptight, proud and shrewd business woman c-m politician, there were some gossips about her sometime ago” she said when i was done with my story. I shrugged and said nothing.
“no wonder you hardly demand for anything, you are truly not a hungry graduate” she joked, but i really didn’t find her comment funny because of my situation.
“yea i know the head can never control the heart, but i have a proposal to make” she smiled, reached for my hand across the table and held it.
“will you like to redeploy back to Abuja?, i have the necessary contacts to make it happen quickly. I can also set up a decent apartment and even a car for you. All i want is for you to be happy, forget about her and move on with your life. Imo state really isn’t the place for you and i hate to say that your Ada girl truly won’t be a good wife material for you. Just give me the go ahead please” she proposed.
I couldn’t believe my ears. I breathed deeply, locking glances with her.
“so what do you have to say?” she asked. I breathed deeply and shrugged.
“i don’t just know, but is it really possible by this period?” i asked,
“of course it is” she answered with a smile. I looked away and thought over her tempting offer.
“With the situation of things, redeploying to Abuja won’t be a bad idea, at least it could make me a bit close to Adaora and also enable me keep an eye on her” i reasoned.
“But Tessy won’t just be handing over all she offered on a plater, this is really way beyond affection” i wondered seriously.
“I knew how much an apartment costs in Abuja and i equally knew a car isn’t what we enter any toy shop to buy”.
“No think, think, think” i cautioned myself,
“perhaps she’s now offering all these because i told her about my family. There isn’t any doubt she could use the little favour to get more hold on me” i concluded.
“i see you are having a hard time deciding, you can take your time. Let’s now talk of where you are going to spend the night dear” she said, breaking me away from my thoughts.
“where do you suggest?” i asked,
“we can go to the hotel we stayed the last time. I know you won’t like spending the night at my place. Not after what happened today” she smiled.
“i guess we have to start going, we really have spent a lot of time here” she added and glanced at her watch. I finished my drink and stood up.
We got to the hotel minutes later, she got a room for me before hurrying home.
“i have to go check on my kids, you never can fully trust the house-helps she joked as she left.
I dialled Adaora’s phone number as soon as she left. I called her three times before she finally answered.
“what is it?” she asked coldly,
“baby what you did today is really very unfair, you are so inconsiderate” i accused her.
“where are you?” she asked,
“on my way back to Imo, i took night bus” i lied. She hung up without another word. I tried calling her again but she refused to answer. Tessy returned two hours later with a bottle of wine and a small nylon bag filled with suya{roasted cow meat}.
“don’t tell me you are already asleep?” she asked as she sat on the bed. I smiled and sat up,
“you won’t understand” i murmured. She laughed and cracked a silly joke.
We stayed up late discussing trival issues. She never brought up the topic concerning the proposal she earlier made. I guess she just wanted me to feel relaxed and happy which i was very much grateful for.
But early the next morning as we prepared to leave the hotel, she brought up the topic.
“have you made up your mind?” she asked.
“not yet, i will have to travel and think about it very well” i replied. She frowned and shook her head.
“i guess you are yet to trust me, i have done everything to prove that i’m a straight forward person, but yet you still have some reservations about me. Tell me the truth, why are you finding it difficult to trust me?” she asked,
“oh not again” i breathed,
“seriously i’m very eager to know?” she urged.
“please Tessy calm down. Redeployment is not something one wakes up to decide without taking so many things into consideration. It has nothing to do with you.” i assured her. She shrugged and said nothing more.
____
I finally got to Imo state later in the evening, and arrived at my lodge{PPA} by 7:25pm. My phone rang the moment i entered my room. It was mum calling.
“what is this i hear about you?” she asked.
“mum” i gasped,
“tell me it isn’t true” she pleaded. I swallowed hard and said nothing. I couldn’t find my voice.
“oh no” she cried, “make sure you come home next weekend” she ordered and hung up.
I couldn’t imagine what she knew, I had let my family down. What do i do??..
EPISODE 150
I really wasn’t myself for the rest of that week. I kept thinking of what to do and which steps to take. I couldn’t even answer Obinna’s phone calls, {who was probably calling because of the plans we made on saturday}. I couldn’t answer his call because i really wasn’t myself, moreover what do i tell him?.
I tried many tricks to talk to Adaora but none of them worked. She simply refused to have anything to do with me, which totally broke my heart. Seriously nothing is as painful as calling a girl who dosen’t want to answer your call. I spent many sleepless nights wondering what she could be doing, where she might be and what could be going on in her mind. I kept praying for her not to meet any sharp guy who could use the opportunity to steal her away from me. My condition made me become very religous.
I kept away from Jenny who equally kept her distance. She never bothered to check up on me, till thursday evening when i was packing my bag. {against travelling the next day.} Perhaps she had been waiting for me to make the first move of going over to her room which i normally would have done. But i really wasn’t in the right frame of mind, which she probably never noticed. I knew as a girl she was hurting deep down because of my behaviour towards her. I could have easily apologized and made peace with her if not for the problems that weighed me down, making me keep my distance.
“you have gotten what you wanted from me, i no longer exist in your life” she accused me as i was packing my bag. {thursday evening}
“Jenny don’t talk like that please” i begged,
“it’s okay, i wouldn’t have expected anything less from an Igbo guy, it’s your life, but it pains me that most times, when you see me outside, you look the other way, or simply mutter a dry hello, moreover who has been cooking for you?” she asked.
“please we will talk when i get back, i’m not myself please” i begged again. She breathed deeply, shook her head and left without another word.
By 12noon the next day {friday}, I headed straight to Enugu from school{PPA}.
On getting home by 3:45pm, i was a bit surprised to meet an empty house. “perhaps my little sisters are still in school” i reasoned as i dialled mum’s phone number.
“i’m at the market, are you home already?” mum shouted over the phone when she answered my call, but i couldn’t reply because the noise at her background was so loud and deafening. I simply hung up and threw myself on a sofa, gasping in shock as my eyes involuntarily fell upon a girl who dashed out from the kitchen when she heard my voice.
The shock i felt was so intense because my eyes fell on no other person than Adaora. But before i could recover, she sighed and returned to the kitchen, locking herself inside.
She came out minutes later, grabbed a magazine she probably left on a couch, eyed me and walked towards her room.
“please stop” i begged.
“i came here because your mum begged me to come, please don’t annoy me by talking to me, just carry your negative energy to somewhere else. I can never have anything to do with you again” she spoke insultively without stopping.
I felt very bad and a bit angry. I thought she would have respected and listened to me, instead she insulted me. I knew i deserved the insult, but i never expected it the way it came. I lost the little hope i had.

I stayed in the sitting room till my mum and two small sisters returned. I greeted her and hugged my little sisters who were very pleased to see me.
Mum and i said nothing much to each other before she went into the kitchen, a sign that showed she was extremely upset with me.
I went to my room, locked myself in, and kept busy with my stories {which i was unable to update in the morning}.
7:20pm, mum called me out for dinner, i tried dodging by insisting that i wanted to eat in my room, but she refused to listen to my request,
“we have something important to talk and we can’t discuss it in your room” she scolded me. I had no choice than to join her with Adaora in the dinning room.
We ate silently without talking, until i was done with my meal. As i tried to stand up and leave, she ordered me to sit. I obeyed and glanced at Adaora nervously.
“who is Tessy and what sort of your father’s business are you doing with her?” she asked. I breathed deeply and shrugged.
“i doubt if you will know her, so there’s no point going into details, moreover you don’t know all of Dad’s associates” i replied.
“don’t lie to me young man, your dad never did” she barked. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms.
“i won’t say anything again, everything Adaora told you is true, i’m going to my room” i spoke with a raised tone, standing up again.
“you are so shameless, you used and decieved a nice girl like Adaora and you have no remorse whatsoever. I don’t know you anymore. You have disgraced me. You can go, i’m not restraining you again. Seems like you don’t want to live a responsible life” she shouted at me.
I stared at Adaora and stared at my mother. Her words touched me, but the best i could do was to flee the scene because I couldn’t stand her questions nor angry comments. I shrugged and left the room. For the first time, i walked out on my mother.
I left the dinning room and hid behind the door. I really felt like crying, but tears refused to show up. I placed my left ear on the keyhole and eavesdropped to their conversation.
“i’m really sorry my dear i thought i knew him, but he has proved me wrong. I thought i raised him well. I gave him a good education, gave him almost all he wanted, groomed a good girl for him. Where did i go wrong?” she cried,
“it’s not your fault mum, somethings that are meant to happen, always happen no matter what we do. Just stop worrying please” i heard Adaora say to her.
“i won’t be happy to see another girl take your place in this house. I don’t think i can take it” she continued.
“mum you know i have managed and stayed in this relationship all these period, because of my respect and love for you. I wouldn’t have wished for nothing more than to marry him. But i can’t keep playing the fool with him. Val isn’t a honest person” she murmured. I felt bad hearing all she said about me, but i still stood and listened.
“i know my dear, no body will sacrifice all you sacrificed for us. It’s a pity that you will be leaving everything for someone else, but it still dosen’t change my love for you. You are still my daughter” mum said to her.
“i don’t know how i will cope up, and i confess it will kill me to see another girl take my position. But i think it’s better i start figuring out my life on time. Isn’t it so mummy?” she asked.
