Conversation between me and Biola gradually return back to
normal a bit, my call to her was so regular that I never allowed her to rest
with calls about her well being. It was on the next Sunday afternoon when I received
a call from my mum that Mary came around to deliver the introduction list to
them at home.
Me: Introduction list ke?
Mum: Yes…
Me: Are you home ma?
Mum: Yes…
Me: Am coming to see you right away
I quickly dashed down to my parent house after the call and
I was surprise to see Mary there, she greeted me but I didn’t respond
Mum: Are you not the one your wife is greeting?
Me: Which wife mum? I don’t think am married yet mum
Dad: so, you are still with your stubbornness snakie
Me: No dad…but atleast am not married yet and I don’t think
am prepared to
Dad: Are we still on this argument? Your wife was already on
her way to your place before it was when you told your mum you are coming we
asked her to wait for you
Me: Dad, am serious…am not ready for any
introduction…….am not marrying Mary, I already have a wife I
want to marry before this intruder came in and am not giving in to her deceit
Dad: You are not even ashamed of yourself, when will you
grow up and be a man who accept his responsibility? You think you can bring
shame upon this family? If you are not shameful well I am and I will not allow
you throw my reputation in the gutter just like that..i don’t even know the
kind of legacy you want to leave behind for your siblings since you are
behaving like this
Mary: Mummy please beg Snakie for me..i think we have gone
past this stage and I already apologized to him and Biola on the role I played
in all this
Dad: Don’t mind him jare…..we have taken the decision and we
are not going back on it.. just put your mind at rest Mary
Mum: Oko mi…please now, forget about how you guys met and
how you arrive at this stage..please move ahead oko mi.. I believe she also has
all the quality you require in a lady too.. all you need is to learn how to
love her just like you love Biola and everytyn will be fine
Dad: Don’t mind him jare… I don’t know what’s wrong with
kids of nowadays…they will never want to accept responsibility
Mum: Eyin na ko lojo..i remember back then, ojo na re bi
ano, only difference was that yours was not at the pregnancy stage
Dad: gerrara here jhoor…were you not the one dying ontop
fine boy then…omo to handsome
Mum: how you take see me sef, I never commot for market now
Dad: Shioor..e dey your body. Snakie pls, relax your mind, I
know your concern and everytyn will be fine with you. It’s a matter of time omo
mi.
Me: Mummy please can I see you in private?
Mum: Sure..lets go inside
Me and my mum went inside and relay my concern to her, I pour
all my mind for her and explain how I feel, my plan and the way I want to live
my future with the one I love
but she still try as much as possible to convince me but she
succumb when she realized I was adamant and will never listen to her. At the
end of it, we concluded that I should at least safe the family face and not
take a harsh decision right now..she said I should play along with Mary pending
when the atmosphere will come down and she will be able to discuss it with my
dad.
I left home with Mary and we never utter a single word to
each other until we got home, one week gone, two and still counting down to the
introduction without hearing from my parent, This was just 3 days to the
introduction date. My mood towards Mary never changed all through this time.
I was at home on Sunday evening when Biola called me and
asked if we can see, she said I should meet her somewhere, she gave me the
description around Ajao Estate and I quickly drove down there. I met her at the
tetrazzini at 7&8 junction. She was sitting by a corner all alone
Me: What happened baby? What are you doing here? You sounded
somehow on phone
Biola: Am just coming from your house…I met your parent and
they explain everytyn to me
Me: What did they explain to you
Biola: Everytyn baby…and you can’t because of me not listen
to your parent
Me: Please stop that baby..it’s my life and I have to live
it the way I want
Biola:but their opinion count so much too and you can’t because
of me turn your back on them
Me: Am not turning my back on them, it’s just my future
Biola: Well have given them my word that I will talk to you
and back down baby
Me: back down from what baby..please don’t ruin my life
baby, pls don’t let us ruin this chance again baby
Biola: I couldn’t withstand the cry of your mum…I couldn’t,
I put myself in her shoes and how I will feel if my son disobey me…moreover
what is the tendency that I will be accepted by them knowing fully well that
they will have it in mind that you disobeyed them cos of me. Please lets put a
stop to all this baby, have accepted defeat already and even though have not
come to terms with it but I have no option but am very sure I will survive
this. Please am very sorry baby, we can still be friend and will forever be the
best of friend…you know I always want the best for you and your happiness..Dont
worry baby, am not angry with you, I believe it’s the will of God that things
happened this way between us, I will take you as my brother and friend going
forwards snakie, pls take good care of yourself for me baby, I will forever
love you
“she stood up and went out of the restaurant and I was
dumbfounded, she left with a swollen face crying”
Me: wait…Biola, please wait now Biola….please wait baby…baby..baby…
She was already on bike by the time I stepped out of the
door as if the bike was already waiting for her, I quickly located my car but
one idiot guy already park behind me and before he could remove his car and
entered mine to follow her, I couldn’t locate her again..i tried her number but
it was switched off already
***chaiiiiiiiiiiii, what should I do now?***
