The Love I Regretted - Season 1 - Episode 31

“What did I just do? I think I’m over reacting, I should have at least waited for her and ask her about the guy. What if I’m just being judgmental about nothing? I think I’m acting weird.” All these was still going through my mind as I walk down towards their gate only to be blocked or should I say bullied by Uche again

Uche: Hey lover boy, I guess you rejected the plank. I just ignore her as I focused on my way out of the place because I’m unnecessarily getting angry. Uche did ran towards me and grab my left hand, tending to pull me back inside from the gate but I fling her hand off me

Me: (Speaking angrily) Uche what’s wrong with you? What’s your problem?

Uche: Oh oh, I’ve never seen you like this before. What happened? I ignored her and headed straight out of the compound. Funmi’s call did come through into my phone but I ignored it and called for a bike. I went back to my lodge but decided to drop at the eatery close to my lodge, not because I was hungry but I needed to clear my head somehow. I ordered for Fanta and was sipping it slowly when Funmi’s call came through again, but this time I terminated it. “But why am I angry? Am I sane at all?”. After this thought, my nerve calm down a little and I was able to see what’s going on around me. A text message popped up on my phone from Funmi and I reluctantly check it. It reads “Please pick my call. You are misunderstanding things”. I thought about the message and realize I was angry because I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. She called again and I picked up this time

Me: Hello

Funmi: Will, where are you?

Me: I’m at the lodge

Funmi: You are not at the lodge. I just call Temmy and he said you are not. Please tell me where you are.

Me: Don’t worry; I’ll come back to your side now.

Funmi: I don’t believe that. Please tell me, I’ll come down.

Me: I’m already on my way back to you

Funmi: Alright, I’m waiting. I couldn’t imagine myself being emotional in the public, which is why I chose to go back to her place. I took a bike back to her side without thinking if I’m in my right senses or not. I also pray silently Uche would have left their compound or at least enter a room before I get there, so I can go to Funmi’s room with fair mind. I could sight Funmi outside their gate as the bike approaches their lodge but the guy was still with her there. She barely allowed me to come off the bike as she hugged me so tight like a wife will hug her husband she’s been waiting for a very long time.

My hands were still free and it’s becoming embarrassing, so I had to embrace her too and whispered to her “we are outside in public Funmi”, to which she respond with “I don’t care”. After staying there for almost two minutes with the bike man not yet paid, she let me off while the guy paid the bike man before I could remove my wallet. We entered their compound and surprisingly Uche was no more in the compound and that’s a prayer answered. While inside, Funmi tried to force me to sit down but I remain standing while the guy stood beside the door.

Funmi: Why did you leave without even seeing me?

Me: I’m not really in the right mind to talk now Guy: I’ll be outside, if you need me let me know. (He left the room to give us space while I look him with a furious gaze)

Funmi: (Smiling) I need you to calm down and talk.

Me: You know what? I think I’m out of my mind and I’m going crazy. I shouldn’t be angry but I am, I shouldn’t have left like that but I did? Is that normal?

Funmi: (Still smiling) Yes you are normal, just cool down and stop rushing the words.

Me: The thing is I don’t really like dragging or fighting or even competing in situations like this, maybe that’s why I’m behaving like I’m crazy.

Funmi: (Still smiling) Maybe you are crazy Me: Funmi I’m sorry I have to say this but I. . .

Funmi: Are you really sorry?

Me: (Sighs) That’s true, I’m not sorry about it.

I love you Funmi and I think I’m crazy about it because the more I see you, the more I love you. You’ve filled my thought to the extent that removing you will automatically turn my mind into a vacuum. I love you so much I want you to be the person I’ll be waking up to see every morning for the rest of my life.

Funmi: Meaning I can’t travel again, even you won’t be able to travel and sleep? Me: Funmi, if you know the temperature of my mind now, you’ll realize I’m serious and more real than magma. But I can’t compete with that guy.

Funmi: You don’t have to compete with him Will, you have nobody to compete with except yourself.

Me: I don’t understand.

Funmi: (Stood up and face me) Will, do you have idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to come to me? You nearly crushed my heart.

Me: I’m sorry. I know I pushed you too much; I only wanted to be sure

Funmi: And you are sure now?

Me: One thousand percent and still counting. I love you so much I don’t know how to say it. I’m in love with you. Funmi: I told you I never had a boyfriend before.

Me: I’m not asking you to be my girlfriend Funmi (I went down with one knee on the ground and the other raised up in seven shape) I’m sorry I’m not too foreign, I should have get a ring, but I’m asking you from the bottom of my heart representing the conference of cells and organs in my body. Will you be my Favour from the Lord and marry me? She look at me with a sorry face, shook her head in a “NO” manner and knee down with me.

Funmi: I’ve always and will always love you Will. Yes, I’ll be your wife. She hugged me passionately and gave me a quick lip kiss as the guy enters into the room clapping his hands as if he’s been listening to all our conversation.

Guy: Bros, I’ve learnt like two more lines from you today. Mehn I love those lines. (Demonstrating with his hand) “You out of me equals vacuum” Bravo! I was totally confused as Funmi laughs on. We both stood up releasing each other from the hug. The guy then hugged her and says;

Guy: Congratulations, at last.

Funmi: Will, meet my cousin Samson, he’s a pre-degree student

Samson: (I was still looking like a ghost as the guy shook my hand) Congrats bros Will. But your “wahala” much o. You just make sis to be crying and wishing every day.

Me: She cried?

Samson: (Funmi tried to cover his mouth) Many times bros Will.

Me: (I pulled her to me and used my hand to trace her face like I’m wiping tears) Well that’s the last time you’ll ever cry because of me. I won’t be an onion that makes you cry, neither will I be an orange that pains you in the eye. I’ll be your apple, so that you can eat me totally and completely with the peel, without pain. (She placed her head on my chest and hugs me still)

Samson: Bros Will, that’s another line o. Apple and not onions mehn. I think I’ll have you tutor me on these lines. By the way, call me Sam, it is sweet that way.

Me: Thank you Sam, you did a very good job making me jealous. Mehn I nearly ran mad.

Sam: Anything for my angelic sister.

Funmi: Were you that threatened?

Me: I was really threatened and almost got discouraged. I never got a second on your DP but you kept a guy there for more than a week.

Funmi: (Laughs) I didn’t know that will get you until you called. I thought his young face will ring a bell to you

Me: He’s got no young face. Dude is mature already

Sam: (Speaking from the other end of the room) I’m still young o, don’t spoil market for me.

Me: But why did you have to go that far?

Funmi: I got really upset about those messages and you were not deleting them. It’s more like you are enjoying it.

Me: To be fair, I was a bit enjoying it.

Funmi: When Temmy told me you were sick and did not call me, I knew I’m losing you and had to try again.

Me: Hmm. I’m sorry you go through that emotional stress.

Funmi: I only hope there is no more Janet, because I can’t compete too.

Me: Janet is out of the picture. She’s having her introduction soon.

Funmi: She was engaged?

Me: Yeah she is. There is one person you’ll have to deal with though

Funmi: Who is that?

Me: Uche

Funmi: Uche the party girl?

Me: Yeah

Funmi: She’s on you too?

Me: I don’t really know, but she’s troublesome. She invited me to a party tonight in their hostel and said she’ll make sure I come. Funmi: I don’t trust that babe. Nobody in this hostel trusts her friends she do come visit. They are capable of anything, so you’ll have to be careful of her.

Me: After project defense, she’ll be totally deleted.

Funmi: Good. Let me set food for you now.

Me: Wait I have an announcement to make before that

Funmi: I’m listening

Me: (I used my right hand as microphone) Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, old and young, indigenes and foreigners, I your boy “Whatever that means to you” is hereby declaring I have gotten my baby dove, the angel to which my story is on, my heart desire, it’s no other person than my one and only Oluwafunmilola.(She started to blush) I can’t hear you clap, (Now she’s laughing) keep clapping, yes, that’s more like it(seriously laughing as Sam started clapping). Be it known to you, that as from today onward, she ceased to be just Funmi again

Funmi: Really?

Me: She’s now my baby dove

Funmi: Hun hun

Me: My sugar

Funmi: Oh yeah!

Me: My honey

Funmi: We are getting there

Me: And my. . . (I was thinking of what to say) Sam: Fuel don finish?

Me: My Superlative Angel of Everything. I love you so much Oluwafunmilola

Funmi: I love you with everything William Opeyemi Albert. Time to eat sir That was how I eventually seal my love with Funmi, and can only pray and work towards making the relationship work. I am now in good frame of mind to go to Aramide, with Funmi by my side; I think I can face whatever I meet there. . .
