Every afternoon, I started going to the roadside maybe I would come across her, but she didn't show up. A week passed,still, she didn't came into sight and I always tried her number, it always ring as "not available". I decided to forget about her and move on with life, but the next day I made that decision, she came into my view.
It was at night. After seeing ADESEWA off to her house, from her place I decided to go to my friend's house, AYOKUNLE, on my way there was when my eyes twitched, I saw her at the suya joint, there's light all over the place. The joint is beside the provision store next to AYOKUNLE'S house. She is standing beside the seller with three boys, I was surprised.
The three boys were my customers at the supermarket and we had get along very well. They all knew ADESEWA as my girlfriend. ADESEWA resides at the street where I work, I am in my street. I walked up to them.
"Hello, SULAIMAN!" I greeted the seller.
"Oh, TOMMY, how your day nah? He asked as I exchanged handshake with the three boys, IDRIS,LANRE and KUNLE.
"Guy, this man called this girl his latest wife, I tell him not to even dream about it cause I,IDRIS, already choose her". He said and I exchanged a glance with her.
"Is she new here?" I asked
"I think so cause I have never saw her in this neighborhood m". KUNLE replied
"SULAIMAN, sell #1,500 suya for my guys and give me the girl". I said and I gave IDRIS #2,000 notes.
"Pay him and keep the change, I want to have a chat with the new girl". I said and they all smiled, I walked up to her and held her hand
"What of ADES...
I cut's in LANRE'S word by clearing my throat.
"Chop some suya". I said and I took her from there to where a car is parked near the joint. I lean on the car and she faced me.
"Long time no see". I said and she only smiled.
"I thought I will never see you again but unbelievably, you appear like a thief in the night". I said and she just remain smiling.
"But, isn't it too late for you to be around for someone whose house is far from here?" I asked
"I am on an errand for my sister".
"Pardon? She send you on an errand this late?" I inquired as if I was not smiling in my head for seeing her.
"Oh, she reside at the next street, I came here to visit her. My parent will not stop asking where my phone is and when I cannot put up with their trouble anymore, I pack my load and come here to spent my holiday". She explained
"Woah, really?" Happy that I will keep seeing her.
"Yes."
"So, what does your sister sent you?
"I couldn't find it around, was on my way home when I stopped to bought some suya". She replied and I stood upright.
"So, have you completed your dating break? I asked and nodded agreeably.
"Really?! I shouted and I attracted some passerbys, I take her to a darker place, behind the provision store.
"So, why are you not awaring me?
"What? Do I need to?
"But you know I love you, I told you then".
"What is the name of the person you are confessing to? She asked with a smirk, and it came down on me, I didn't know her name.
"What is your...
"Please~" she sounded disgusted.
"I am really sorry, please what is your...
"It's late,I have to go". She said and was turning to leave when I held her hand, she looked at me as I stared at her back, I will never break my eyes, that's how desperate I am when in love, until I have had enough will I be able to look away. Oh right, I have a girlfriend, that thought almost swirl me but I guess she wants me too.
"FADERERA, my name is FADERERA". She said and I let go of her hand.
"So, do you agree that it's already late tonight?" She asked.
"Yes, see you tomorrow". I said and she left afterwards.
"Yes, tomorrow will decide for us if we can date each other". I said cause I knew her contact with me is useless, she has to do the job now, there are many people around she can asked my contact from, the three boys are residing at her street, I will know she also is in love if she can find a way for us to meet.
