Must Read: Campus Dilema (18 ) - Season 1 - Episode 41

☆☆☆☆☆

The following morning we woke up refreshed. The previous night was one of its kind. We made passionate love that left us both used. She cooked and after we ate, we left to fetch her bag.

To my greatest surprise, she has been staying in a hotel all along.

When we came back home, I sent Shania a
message telling her that I have straightened things between Precious and myself and also there is no need for us to be apart anymore. She sent a text back to me which read “I’m happy you have made
peace with her. I still want us to be apart from each other for a while”

I didn’t understand what she meant by being apart for a while and why. I dialled her number, after it rang twice, she picked the third time.

“What is the problem? Are you fed up with us or something?” I asked.

“Come to my house let’s talk” she replied and dropped the call.

I dressed up and left for her house, telling Precious that I was going to get something in school. I met Shania eating when I got to her house.

After exchanging pleasantries, I allowed her to finish with her meal before bringing up the issue. Suddenly the air between us was becoming a little strange,
unlike us.

After clearing the dishes, she came back and sat beside me on the bed.

“I have ended things with Precious peacefully.

We ain’t dating anymore, not like we were dating before sha”

“Ok I’m happy to hear that”

“Shania nothing stops us from dating now, please I don’t want us to be apart”

“Purity listen to me. A lot of things has happened of which we both know. There is this part of me that wants to accept your proposal but there is this
other part that is telling me to be careful and I’m heeding to that part. I don’t want us to rush into this. Yes I want to start something with you but it’s not something that I want to just last for a couple of months. Now that you have made Peace with
Precious I want you to use this remaining time for your academics while I focus on mine. We have few months left to stay here, let’s use that for our
studies, ok?”

“Shania I don’t want something that will last a few months with you, I want something serious not a fling”

“Purity, I have thought about this, what if we don’t see again after graduation? I can’t do a phone relationship. I can’t do a distant relationship”

“We can always find a way to see after graduation.

I know it’s going to be difficult but if we try our best we can pull it through”

“Ok this is the plan I have, after graduation, let us work out NYSC posting to the same state. That way we can be together and build a relationship, but until then, Purity please let’s be apart”

“And what if we don’t end up in the same state?”

“Then we were never meant to be. Purity I’m sorry but this was a hard decision for me to make.

Please don’t push it any further. I don’t want you to make me change my mind which I know you can do if you press on. Just do this for me ok?”

I gave up trying to convince her and decided to let it be her way. She also suggested we cut
communication for the rest of the semester and try not to run into each other as possible as we can.

We decided to work our NYSC posting to Lagos
after graduation. We had the last round of a
passionate ‘goodbye till we meet again’ S£x before I left.

*************

Two months after our graduation NYSC posting
came out. Before we left school, I told Precious that I will be working my NYSC posting to Akwa-Ibom
State while she said she will work hers to Abuja.

I wanted to keep her at arms length. No coincidence should bring us together again. I wanted to start something with Shania on a fresh note with no one
from the past interfering.
On that faithful morning, I left for the cyber café to print my call up latter. I was in the cyber café when I got a message from Shania.

“Purity I’m very sorry, maybe we are not meant to be together. I am posted to Akwa-Ibom. I love you Purity, even if we never see again, don’t forget that”

After I read the message, my sweat buds all
opened. I was sweating everywhere. When it got to my turn, I wrote down the info required to print out the letter on a piece of paper and handed it over to the café attendant. I turned my back to the computer while she logged on to NYSC portal. A lot of things were going through my mind.

“What if I was posted to another state?”

“Does it mean that this working of NYSC posting is a scam?”

“What if I am posted to Maiduguri or any of these distressed states?”

” What will happen to I and Shania?”

I was still lost in thought when the attendant tapped me and said “Akwa-Ibomayaya”. I turned and asked
her what she said.

“You are posted to Akwa-Ibom State”
I couldn’t contain my joy when I heard that. I
hugged and kissed the girl shouting.

Everybody in the café turned looking at me while the girl looked down feeling shy and shocked.

When I realized the attention I had drawn to myself,
I mellowed down, and collected the letter from the
girl who couldn’t even look at my face anymore.

I pulled out my wallet and paid for the service.
Before I left I slipped a thousand naira into her
hands “Sorry for the kiss” I whispered to her and left.

Outside the café, I pulled out my phone and dialled Shania. Immediately she picked I shouted “We are meant to be. I’m posted to Akwa-Ibom too oo”.

The news must have caught her by surprise as she kept quiet not saying anything. I had to say hello twice before she cleared her throat. I noticed she was sniffing.

“What is the problem? Are you crying?”
I asked.

“No, no I’m not, I’m just so happy” she said amidst
sniffing.

“Now you see, we are meant to be, we are meant to be” I said jumping around in front of the café.

“Yes, yes we are” she replied now laughing.

We talked for some minutes before saying the good byes to continue when I get home. I was about to dial Shania back when I got home when a message entered my phone from Precious. As I clicked it
open, I couldn’t believe what I saw

“Baby they posted me to Akwa-Ibom.

I have been trying to call you but your number has been busy.

Call me back, hope you have checked your
posting?”

Just when you are trying to run away from the past and nature twists your arm.

The End

Watch Out For Season 2........
