The Love I Regretted - Season 1 - Episode 26

That was how the atmosphere graduated into a romantic one. I wish I could let the cat out of the bag that moment, but it will be a decision made out of emotion and not proper thought, besides she's still driving. As I was thinking about this, two messages entered my phone in succession, the second one is from Janet. I had to read it with code so that Funmi won't guess the message is from her. I just speak out "This network people and their rubbish messages". Her message read "Hello Will, I tried calling you but wasn't going, I guess you are already on the road. Please let me know when you get home.

Love you, take care". I quickly went to options and delete the message before Funmi could sight foul play if she checks my phone.

But her message brought my confusion back for a moment.

Janet is no longer engaged and Funmi is back, though I've not asked her about her new guy but she has not receive nor make any call since the journey started and might mean they are not dating indeed. I decided to hold my plan for now to ascertain if I know what I'm doing.

Few minutes later, we got to our destination and she offered to drop me at home but I declined and decided to take bike down. It will not be sweet for her to know my house like that, mum might see her and like her immediately, and I know what that means.

While waiting for bike, I put a call through to Temmy and then Janet telling them I'm home. Funmi also called to tell me she has seen her dad while I was on bike going home. I met a rather changed house I almost did not recognize, as the fence has been raised round the house which is now beautifully painted. Before I could knock on the gate, my younger sister Deborah (I call her Debby) sighted me and rushed down to open the gate. She's my only sibling and the only biological child of my step father. She's already in 300 level studying computer science in another school. It's been very long since we last see each other, because I did not come home after first semesters' break for my project. "My BB is here" she shouted. She calls me BB or MBB meaning big brother or my big brother. I could sight two cars packed right in the compound, both of them very new and beautiful. A black Lexus Jeep and a blue Toyota cienna.

Debby: BB I've missed you a lot (She hugs me while collecting my bag)

Me: I've missed you too Debby. Why is it you don't call at all?

Debby: I do call now

Me: and when I call you don't pick nor return the calls.

Debby: My phone screen got spoilt so I couldn't see anything on it.

Me: That new phone?

Debby: It's no more new BB, it's over eight months. I've gotten another one

Me: Who bought it for you?

Debby: Mum sent me some then I added the remaining

Me: Where did you get the remaining?

Debby: hmm BB, we'll talk about that later

Me: Where is mum?

Debby: she's in the kitchen

Me: She said she wanted me to meet someone. Who is the person?

Debby: He's inside, he came with this cars Me: Is he selling cars?

Debby: I'm not sure, I think he bought that cienna for mum. Let's go inside. We entered the sitting room and met a guy wearing a blue Chelsea long-sleeved Jersey on a blue Jean. Well it's good he's a Chelsea fan, at least we have a common ground even if we eventually disagree on other things. Sighting me, he stood up and shook my hand with a big smile. . .
