Episode 66
Segun rushed home immediately
after the service. Nike had
promised to come around by
1pm and thank God his parents
will be waiting behind for the
elders meeting while the two
girls won’t come home on their
own.
He got home, took a shower and
waited patiently for the knock on
the gate.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
There was a knock on the gate
and Segun rushed to see who
the person was. On opening the
gate he saw Nike standing
looking ravishingly beautiful
dressed in a yellow top and a
black skirt a little bit longer than
knee length.
Segun stared at her and put on a
charming smile.
“Won’t you let me in?” she asked
smiling.
“Oh! My bad.” Segun said and
opened the gate wider for her.
Segun led her into the house.
“How did you know this place?”
Segun asked.
“Your mum invited me so she
sent me the description.” She
replied.
“My mum?” he asked bewildered.
“Yes.” she replied.
They both settled down in the
sitting room.
“What should i offer you?” Segun
asked rising on his feet.
“Water will do.” she replied.
“Water? No way.” he replied and
went into the kitchen to get her
a orange juice pack.
There was a horn at the gate.
Segun knew at once that his
parents are back.
He left what he was doing and
rushed to open the gate for
them.
><><>< "Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon ma." Nike said kneeling down. "Afternoon my dear." Mr Akinola replied. "Thanks for honouring my invitation." Mrs Akinola said. "Hi. Yov must be Mary?" she said walking up to Mary. "Yes. And you are Nike." Mary replied. "Its nice meeting you." Nike said. "Its my pleasure." mary replied. Jummy walked in moments later and saw Nike exchanging pleasantries with other member of the family. She felt jealous. "Jummy good afternoon." she said. Jummy ignored her and walked to her room to drop her church things. "Segun!" his mother called. Segun came inside the sitting room and sat down beside his father. Then the meeting began
episode 67 “Nike i appreciate you for honouring my invitation. I pray you will also be honoured in all your endeavours.” Mrs Akinola prayed. “Amen.” Nike replied feeling nervous. “I called you so that we can iron things out between you and Segun and know where we are headed to.” Mrs Akinola explained and waited to see if she got what she was saying by her reaction. Nike looked at the faces in the room. They were not smilling. She looked at Segun who gave her an assuring smile which made her feel relaxed a little bit. “You see i don’t like when people influence my son negatively. I noticed that since Segun met you or rather since the time when your examination started. He has been behaving strange and has become extremely rude and proud. Mrs Akinola began. Nike looked at her with a scared face. “Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say you influenced him. I was just using the exam as a case study. Shebi you met him during the examination?” Mrs Akinola asked. “Y…….y……yes ma.” Nike stammered in fright. “You see this girl here. You know her right?” Mrs Akinola asked pointing to Jummy. “Yes i know her.” Nike replied a little bit composed. “She is Segun’s girlfriend. So if you call Segun your boyfriend i guess you are just kidding yourself. Segun personally told me he is just playing you.” Mrs Akinola said. Every other person in the sitting room was shocked to the marrow as to what Mrs Akinola just said. Nike looked at Segun for a clue but instead of giving her a facial expression he looked down in shame like actually did what he was accused of.
episode 68 Nike looked at Jummy who smiled her as a sign of victory. Tears flowed freely from her eyes. “You don’t need to cry over a spilt milk.” Mrs Akinola advised. Nike stood up and made for the door. “Bye ma.” Nike said and walked out without waiting for a reply. Segun quickly ran after her. “Nike.” he called. She ignored him and continued walking towards the gate. He ran after her and held her hand immediately he caught up with her. “Nike don’t do this to me.” Segun pleaded. “Do what to you? You’ve spelt it out for me. Jummy is the choosen one for you. Your family has consented to it so my presence in your life will eventually turn to be a waste.” She lamented. “Nike. Its all a lie.” Segun defended. “Why don’t you oppose your mum when she was talking but instead you looked down like you did it which i know you did.” Nike added and walked out of the compound. “It doesn’t speak well if i oppose my mum openly before you.” Segun defended. “There are better ways through which you can do that and will sound polite.” Nike explained. A bikeman wandered freely on the street. Nike flagged down the bike and mounted it and off she went home. Segun walked back home dejected. “It is now i show this people my true character.” he said and slammed the gate angrily as if the gate was part of those who offended him. He got to the sitting room and could hear voices of his parents which seems like they were arguing. “You disappointed me by saying all these to that innocent girl.” Mr Akinola said. “Why is she forcing herself on my son?” Mrs Akinola asked. “Who is your son? I think these children are to young to be exposed to things like this.” Mr Akinola buttressed his point. “Let them know themselves better now so that they won’t have problem in the future.” Mrs Akinola said. “Which future? Don’t tell me you are planning on getting them married in future?” he asked. “I made a promise to her mother.” Mrs Akinola replied. “Don’t you know they could take the silly engagement of yours and start having s-x with the belief that they are couples.” Mr Akinola said and walked away to his room.
Episode 69 “Hello.” a voice said from the other end. “Am i speaking with Mercy?” Segun asked. “Yes and who is this?” Mercy replied. “This is Segun. Nike’s boyfriend.” he informed. “Oh! Longest time.” she said. “Yeah.” he replied. They asked about how they were fairing. Before Segun stated the reason behind the call. “I want you to ask Nike if she is at home.” Segun said. “Why not call her yourself?” Mercy asked. “We are actually in a small misunderstanding. So she wouldn’t pick my calls.” Segun explained. “What went wrong between you two?” Mercy asked. “Nothing much. I’ll explain everything to you later. But first make that call please.” Segun pleaded. “Okay. I’ll call you back.” she said. “And don’t tell her i asked you to make this call.” Segun warned. “Okay.” she replied and ended the call. A few minutes later Segun’s phone ranged and he knew at once that it was Mercy. “Hello. She is home.” Marcy informed. “Okay thanks.” Segun said. He stood up from his bed and changed his cloth into something light. He left the house headed to Agodi GRA without informing anyone of his movement. He got into the GRA and walked towards Nike’s house. He knocked on the door and the gateman greeted him warmly being a regular visitor. “Oga you are welcome.” the gateman said. “Weldone baba.” Segun replied and headed for the main building. He knocked on the door a few seconds later. “Am coming o.” Nike said from within. Segun waited patiently for the door to be opened. “Segun what are you doing here?!” she asked smiling suprisingly. A smile which after a few seconds changed to a frown. “Can i come in?” Segun asked. “Why not.” she replied as stepped aside for him to enter. He got into the sitting room and got the shocker of his life. Seated on a sofa was someone he didn’t expect to see. drop ur comment
Episode 70 Segun walked into the sitting room and met Emmanuel seated on the sofa. Emmanuel stood up with the aim of greeting him. Segun looked at his hand and weighed his option. He shook hands with him. “I’ll come back and check on you.” Emma said as he walked towards the door. “Okay. Thank you.” Nike replied following so as to see him off. “No stay with your visitor.” Emma said. “Okay.” Nike replied. “My guy see you later.” Emma said referring to Segun. “Alright bros.” Segun replied. Emma walked out of the house. “What can i offer you?” she asked. “Am ok.” he replied. “In this hot weather? At least you need something cold.” she said and walked to the kitchen. She returned a few minutes later with a bottle of chilled lacasera. “I never believed you guys could clear the eye.” she said referring to the feud between Emma and Segun. Segun kept quiet as he didn’t know how to reply her. There was silence in the room for some minutes. “Nike.” he called breaking the silence. “unhm?” she murmured. “I came here to apologise because of what my mum did to you.” he said. “Your mum didn’t offend me.” she replied. “Okay but what about us?” he asked. “Us?” she replied with a question. “I mean our relationship.” he replied. “Segun. You see i’ve moved on long ago. Your mum said i am a negative influence on you, and i don’t want situation whereby people will look at me with one bad eye like i am a bad girl.” she explained. “Don’t mind her. She said that out of annoyance on that day.” he defended weakly. “Annoyance? She chosed her words carefully. so i knew she was prepared for me.” she replied. “So are you telling me that…..?” he said as his voice trailed off. “Yes.” she replied. Segun stood up. “Bye.” he uttered then walked to the door. “Segun.” she called. He looked back to hear her out. “We can still be friends.” she added. He nodded his head and opened the door. Off he went home. He got home and could hear voices, one which seems like Jummy’s voice and the other masculine baritone voice which he couldn’t comprehend. “Who could that be?” he thought as he headed to the door.
