Lola and Cynthia arrived when we were about
to leave the hospital, they left for school from there while we went to
Mirabel’s lodge. I managed to eat some plantains so I could take my drugs. I
took my drugs; slept for over three hours then I woke up feeling much better. I
even had a video chat with Ike (Mirabel’s cousin). We talked on many things;
actually he did most of the talking while I followed up. He was quite a jester,
He even said that “If your Parents won’t approve of you both, just elope and
come to the states” He said it jokingly though and it made sense but I thought
about it again that it’s not right. Marriage without parental blessing is not
right. I also thought about my sister Nancy, so I decided to be making her
happy and to make her feel comfortable with me as her big bro. I wanted her to
look up to me, to always listen to me with clear understanding and trust me
completely. So, instead of imposing power on her that she won’t have a
boyfriend, I switched to advising her, making her see reasons why I don’t want
her to have a boyfriend and I also coached her on relationship issues. I
started showing her love and care as well as showering her with gifts. I made
sure I get something for her whenever I returned to the house most especially
ice cream and other snacks. I knew why I had to change my attitude towards her,
because,,,, she might rebel against me in the near future when her eyes open
fully,,, and she might also start dating secretly. Since I started doing all
what I mentioned, she as well changed. My sister and i became friends. She
started opening up to me, she mentioned to me all the useless boys that has
wooed her and the pending ones. I was surprised to know that some of my useless
friends were among. Being close to my sister is what i should’ve been doing
instead of forming senior. All thanks to Mirabel that brought such a wonderful
idea,,, or were you thinking it was my idea? Nah…
My sister can talk from morning till night,
she always have gist for me, she never run out of gist,,, it’s no surprise she
inherited it from our Mother.
I waited for Mirabel’s mother for many days
but she didn’t show up. I remained indoors after my daily lectures awaiting her
surprised visit. I asked Mirabel why it is taking her mother so long; she said
her mother has been busy from one meeting or conference to another.
Ike (Mirabel’s cousin) and I retained good
communication with each other, he did most of the calling though. We became
friends. He taught me so many things on computer and technology, how to hack on
devices, how to spy on someone, he sent me a lecturing video by him on how to
design a website and tips on creating traffics and many more.
Momma returned home after two months and
two weeks,,, Nancy also had to return home two days after, I went with her to
spend the weekend at home.
On Sunday after service, I approached
Dorothy’s Mother to know why she didn’t come to Church. She said, Dorothy
travelled to one of her Paternal Aunt at Asaba, Delta State. She also said
that, they’ll all be relocating to Port-Harcourt in two weeks’ time. I asked
for Dorothy’s phone number but she told me that she lost her phone and hasn’t
gotten another one yet and that they only get to communicate through her Aunt.
As time passed by without reaching Dorothy,
I unintentional forgot about her.
The second semester exams was fast
approaching, I didn’t allow anything to hinder my study. Although I still
watched movies, chats, play video games and all my normal activities was still
in place but with timing as there’s time for everything,,, I set time to do
whatever I wanted. All this while, Mirabel’s mother still didn’t show up.
***FAST FORWARD***
After some uneventful months, I came back
for my second year (200L) while Nancy joined me weeks later as she got
admitted,,, she studied Mass communication.
One peaceful evening when I was chilling
with my girlfriend Mirabel before she suddenly ruined the mood with no-good
news.
Mirabel: Baby…?
Me: Yes dear
Mirabel: Remember when we talked about our
past relationships?
Me: Yea,,, sure
Mirabel: You remember the one I told you
that we didn’t get to break up, that was forced to school abroad and eventually
got jailed?
Me: Yea, what about him?
Mirabel: The thing is uhmm… uhmmm…
Me: What is it dear?
Mirabel: He is back. He came in last week
and has been troubling me to go see him; I dunno how he got my contact
Me: You can make it clear to him now that
you’ve moved on,,, nothing much there
Mirabel: There’s nothing I didn’t tell him,
he told me to cut whatever tie I gat with you that he’s back for me
Me: Forget about him, he can’t do nothing
Mirabel: He is a crazy guy, he just came
out of jail, and we dunno what he’s capable of
Me: Are you afraid of him?
Mirabel: Of course I am, he is crazy
Me: Have you forgotten who you are?
Mirabel: What should I do?
Me: You get him locked up if he tries
anything stupid
Mirabel: Okay
Me: What’s his name again?
Mirabel: Marcus
Me: Don’t take him serious dear,,, he can’t
do nothing, I’m here for you
Mirabel: What if he gets to know that
you’re my boyfriend and he comes for you?
Me: I can take care of myself dear, besides
I’m not worried at all
**Phone rings**
Mirabel: He is the one calling
Me: Give me the phone
**I answered it**
**I answered it**
Me: Hello…
Marcus: Who dah f--k is this?!
Me: Dah f--k is Mirabel’s boyfriend and who

Marcus: Give the f*cking phone to Mirabel

**Chai! This guy messing up with 2Pac’s

Me: Ok listen up motherfucker! She told me
about you and everything you both had before you left her
Marcus: I didn’t leave her!
Me: Well… she moved on, I advise you do the
same
Marcus: And I advise you to give her a-s up
mahn, I didn’t go through all what I went through just to come back and get
nothing for it
Me: What are you talking about?
Marcus: I ain’t explaining sh!t to you,
just give the phone to Mirabel and go blank
Me: She’s not gonna speak with you ever
again,,, I’m in charge, got that?
Marcus: I ain’t got no beef with you hommy,
Mirabel is mine. Let her go like nothing ever happened between you two, only
then this town will be cool for you and I…. I love Mirabel like crazy and I
ain’t gon’ let you or anyone else hold me back from getting her back, she’s

Me: You’re just ranting dude, it’s long
been over between you two ever since you left
Marcus: I didn’t just leave motherfucker!
Me: Yes you did; she lost you and found me
Marcus: F--k you!
**Hangs up**
**Hangs up**
Mirabel: What’s all that about?
Me: Just forget about him dear, everything
will remain as it is,,, he can’t nothing
Mirabel: I hope so but I don’t like how you
talked to him
Me: I’m not a weakling dear; I’ve never
been and can’t even pretend to be. I have to be strong for us; I will always
fight for us. Nobody will ever come between us except the inevitable. I haven’t
told you this before but I want to spend the rest of my existence on this earth
with you and not even that ex-con can make me bow down.
Mirabel: Whoa… I dunno what to say
Me: Just don’t worry about anything, we
shall overcome anything that tries to come between us, let’s just see them as
trials…
Mirabel: Ok my love **Smiles** my life is
getting more interesting and I’m getting stronger all because of you,,, I love
your courage
Me: I love your submission
Mirabel: Hhmmmm…. we’ll make a wonderful
couple
Me: Couple? More like a beautiful home
We laughed out
I got back to the house and couldn’t stop
thinking about this Marcus of a guy. I think he’s going to be a problem.
I got into the house as unknown huge guy wearing black suit and blank shade opened the gate for me and saw a big SUV car parked inside. All my guts went off, I started sweating and breathing hard. I instantly locked car so he won’t come and drag me out. The only thing that came into my mind was that, they were robbers.

*What am I going to do? And my Sister is
inside the house, what if they do anything to her? I dunno how I’d take it if
they should rape or kill her.
The guy came knocking on the car; I didn’t
know what to do and the guy kept knocking. Out of fear, I quickly grabbed my
phone to call Mirabel for help. I dialed her number and it started ringing
before I turned to look at the entrance and saw a woman walking out. She
resembles the woman I see on TV somehow; I looked closer to be sure before I
saw Nancy flaunting her white teeth. Then I heaved a sigh of relief that we’re
save and I thanked God immediately. When the woman removed her shade, I saw
that she’s the perfect description of the woman I always see in TV and the
portrait in Mirabel’s lodge,,,,,
Mirabel’s mother the First Lady is finally
here! I thought surprisingly inside my mind.
