NONSENSE MISTAKE
šEpisode 3š
āI think this is my opportunity to let him know that Iām no longer interested in this relationship.
Somehow, he will still find out, so Itās better he starts getting that into his head nowā she quickly thought and then looked at the young man who was standing boldly, looking at her with pride.
And in a feminine smiley manner, she collected the call card right in front of Ofoma. And then turned, began flagging down a bike.
And Ofoma who couldnāt understand what happened stood agape, with his eyes wide open, looking at Oluchi whom she asked to tell the man that she was his wife.
āOluchi, whā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..at are you doiā¦..ng? I thought I told you to tell him that you are my wife but you went ahead to correct the card flom him, but for what? Are you going to call him?ā
But Oluchi ignored him, entering a bike and left.
āHuh! Chineke mu ooo! Ewu atam igu naāisi? O kam si jee? Utom has humuriated me! When did that one start?
But what could walant her to do such a thing to me?ā He was still looking lost, wondering why Oluchi turned him down in such a manner, the new guy began laughing, mocking him.
āLook at you, what to you think? That she will choose you over me?
To tell you the truth, you donāt deserve her. I wonder what she was thinking when she accepted to go out with a dirty illiterate like you.
I saw the shameful drama you were putting up inside there, disgracing the poor girl, do you think a reasonable girl will continue enduring such an outrageous behavior?
Off course she will definitely get tired one day after she must have realised the category of group you belonged to.ā
āFor your point of collection, that girl is mine, I made her who she is today. Soon, I will completely make her my wife, so back offā
And the man softly laughed and said: āthen get prepared to leave her because she is on the verge of becoming mineā
āYou are clazy, you hear me? Stop dleaming, because Utom will never fall for a womalizer like you. Nonsense..ā
āOh come on! I canāt stand here exchanging words with a low life illiterate like youā the man said, sounding insulting
āYou are the one who is irritelate. Gelaway here, idiot like youā Ofoma insulted back
And the guy, began shaking his head, looking at Ofoma disgustingly, walking towards his car and then drove off.
āHe should have stayed back ret me finish him, nonsense manā he angrily fumed and then went back inside and began asking Chidimma if she saw what her friend did.
She hummed and then said in a low tone: āYes, I saw what happened.ā
āBut what is her plobrem? She disglaced me in flont of that stlanger. I donāt rike what she did at all, I donāt rike it. But I donāt understand why she was so angly, did I do anything wlong while she was here?ā
āOfoma, Oluchi my friend sees you as possessing all the negative attitudes in life. I think I can help by teaching you one or two things.
You need little tutoring on mannerism. Oluchi shouldnāt do this to you. You have built your world round her, and loosing her will definitely make you go crazy.ā Chidimma said in her heart.
āChidimma, you are not saying anything. My head is burning, your fliend has gone clazy, I donāt know what I did to her that made her shun me rike that, she even corrected the manās card light in my plesence. Chai! I don suffer.ā
āOfoma, if I offer to teach you one or two things just to keep Oluchi to your side forever, would you accept it?ā Chidimma asked
āI donāt understand, what and what are you going to teach me?ā Ofoma asked
āOfoma, you see, we women can be so unpredictable. There are things that usually turn us off from men.
Some who think that their men can never change and that such permanent character can never be erased usually turn their backs on who ever they claim that love them.
And I think that is what my friend, Oluchi is trying to doā
āWhat do you mean? Are you insinuating that she is pranning on dumping me? Haa, Chidimma, fear God naa! How can you come up with such a lidiculous idea?
How can you think that she can ever harbour the idea of dumping me after all we have been through? No naa, Chidimma are you this wicked? Are you tlying to sepalate me from my wifeā¦ā¦?
Oh I see, you are jearous, abi?ā he asked, heightening his voice, not mind the people around, if they were listening or not.
āYou are misunderstanding me, Sir. And please, lower your voice, I am only trying to helpā
āTlying to help? No, you are onry jearous of our sweet rove. My Baby is not happy, something is botheling her and I must find out what is it, because itās my duty to always make her happyā he angrily said,
misunderstanding Chidimma who was sincerely trying to save his relationship.
āI think I should reave from hereā he said and then called for his bills and then left.
He began calling Oluchiās cell phone number but was ignored.
āI know that breaking up with him wonāt be that easy but I have to do it anyway. All that man said were not nothing but the truth, I canāt be seen going out with somebody like Ofoma, I am too educated for him. See how he was busy displaying his ignorance, making outrageous noises in the restaurant, not minding the number of people that was there.
No, itās over and I wonāt have my conscience bother me about it, because he doesnāt befit my standard. I have to compose a break up text for him, since I have already given him a clue that Iām no longer interested.
I just hope he will take this in good fateā Oluchi thought, began composing a text message.
āGuess Iām the only one remaining, but I wonāt leave until I finish this food, itās so tasty. But Iām really pitying Ofoma, he will surely have his heart shattered to pieces.
Well, since he has refused my offer for help, maybe I should speak with Oluchi then, she might listen. Helping Ofoma know about his flaws will go along way in solidifying their relationship again, he will be thought on how to work on himself. Yes, thatās what I should doā Chidimma suggested to herself.
While Ofoma was still driving to Oluchiās place, a text message beeped his phone. He then glanced through the screen and found out that it was from Oluchi.
āI know she will be feering solly for what she did, that why she has sent me this text. Donāt wolly Utom, Iām no ronger angly, no need leading the text because I alleady know the content. Ret me dlive fast so I can show her how much I rove her. Utom oo, you are so sweet, I rove you so much.ā He professed and began reminiscing what Chidimma tried telling him earlier.
He then hissed and said: āI will make Utom to stop befliending that girl, she is so bad. She is jearous of my rove, I donāt want her near my woman, she is not a good person at all. Imagine, she is tlying to sepalate me from utom. Hmm, nawao!ā He hised in his heart, and continued driving to Oluchiās place.
āI just hope he takes it in good place. Itās been up to 15 minutes that I sent him that text and he hasnāt called, which means he accepted it with good heart. Thank God that Iām finally free from that man. He should stuck his stupid self to another girl, a girl who fall to his standardā she said and then thought of how her life will change with Ofomaās exit from her life: āI am free, yesā¦..finally freeā¦. I never imagined that it will be so easy.ā She jubilate and then remembered the new guy: āBut who is that guy?
He is so handsome, is he really serious that he wants to go out with me? I pray he is so serious, because he is really cuteā¦ Oh Lord, is he the one, my Mr Right?ā She asked, looking at the card the man gave to her:ā Ow, he has a sweet name just like his face, Mr Stanley Nduka.
OK, Iām going to call him tomorrow. No, I will have to wait a bit longer so that I donāt sound desperateā¦.yesā¦ā¦
