My Life Story - Season 1 - Episode 13

☆☆☆☆☆

I hasten up to dress and called out. “Tolulope.” And patiently wait for response. Nobody responded and I repeated myself like two more times and she responded.
“Yes, Omotuyi.” She responded. My adrenaline level shot up immediately. Even though my name is Olatuyi, she adopted Omotuyil which has a better reason to her alone.

“So this is the new house you were coming to?” I asked her as she entered into my room. “Have a seat.” And I sat her down on a plastic chair meant for studying in my room.
“Thanks and to answer your question, yes this is the house.” She said as she finally settles into the chair.

“So, please what is your response to what I discussed with you yesterday? And by the way how do you get to know my name?” I bombarded with her questions.
“Please one at a time.” She brushed everything off with her peculiar smile. She continued. “What is wrong with me now is this stomach upset and as a pharmacy student I expect you to have some drugs in here.”
“Yes I do.” And I gave her some medications. After some minutes she said she would like to rest and since she hasn’t unload her packs, she have only one option and that is my room!
“Will you sleep here?” I asked her jokingly and she responded that at least I won’t eat her.
She gets up on the chair to make her way to the bed but she fell down on the account that she was weak. I rushed to her and picked her up and I carried her in my arm. I noticed that she was sobbing and I asked her the reason why she was crying.
She looked into my eyes and said “I feel loved once again and thank you for loving me.” I nearly fainted with joy hearing this; I buried my lips into hers and we were locked like that for almost five minutes before I jolted back into life.
“You need to rest a dear.” I ordered her and la!d her on my bed. I watched her drifted into dreamland and make way into her bedroom since my door leads to hers.

I unloaded her packs; puts everything in appropriate places and then come to her side. I began to feel a better side of my germinating into life merely looking at her blissful face on the bed. It has been long I felt this kind of feelings with Funmilayo then.

We continue with our courtship and she started calling me to order in so many ways I could not mention but which we shall come across soon.
[]Tolulope settled down fast into our hostel. In-fact all the hostel mate has known that she is mine. She don turn to no-go-area be dat.

My cultism activities were still four-unit course that must not be carried and also was my academic which must also be maintained.
Tolulope did everything in her capacity to make sure I drop most of my vices. But as a core Elebe, I no wan gree quick.

She would cry day and night just for me to change and her cry always melt my heart (abegi no be my fault ooo na love cause am).

Barely six months to my final examination two incidents occurred that almost shook my feet off ground.

One was the death of Oyebode. He was my relative back home and he was actively involved in student unionism. He was then the vice-president of NANS. He was coming from Abuja one day when his motor had an accident and he eventually died. I was very close to him even though he was a Bagga and I an Elebe. I couldn’t go on the day of his burial because I was writing my State final examination then. His Bagga brothers almost disrupted the burial. This generated many controversies in the town.

The town made some findings and my name and others were written out as the cultist in the town! My grandma called me to come home but I refused to heed her call since there is nothing to defend or hide again because it has become open secret. The matter was resolved later on and I became free once again.
