Perpetual
Episode 7️⃣
Perps, I think is high time you leave this area and get another apartment elsewhere. Though I’m not insinuating anything bad will happen just for security purposes. Precious advised.
Is it because of Lekwachi? Don’t worry I will handle him. He’s my main target here. I want him to see me often and wallow in regret. You don’t know what I went through in that guy’s hand. Is it because I didn’t tell you everything? Lekwachi thought I was going to die if he left me because that was the impression I gave him. I won’t let him bréathe. I will continue flaunting Derrick and the car until he sees them and then get suffocated and leave this area. Perpetual said.
Wait, do you still feel something for Lekwachi? Precious asked.
No! Perpetual responded.
Did you accept Derrick’s proposal because you want to get back to Lekwachi? Precious continues asking Perpetual.
No, what’s bringing about all these questions? Perpetual asked.
Your speech Perps. Your speech is bringing about the question. You sound like someone who is still hurt and broken. Precious said.
I’m fine. Though it hurts. But I’m fine now. Perpetual said.
Babe flaunting Derrick and his car are not necessary. The good news here is Lekwachi is no more in your life and soon you will become Mrs. Why I’m advising you to leave this area to another place, is because of your safety and that of Derrick’s. You know your past relationship with Lekwachi here. You both were living like husband and wife. People know you both together. Many things occurred. I know what I’m saying to avoid things escalating. On a normal you don’t have to be here anymore you would have gone to another place and started your life again. Know that someone can easily trace Derrick because he now visits you here often if only one is not on the mission as I speak.
I understand but I doubt something like that will happen. The only place I will pack to is Derrick’s house. And that is after our wedding. Anybody my presence irritates should be the one to pack out from this area for me. Perpetual said.
Then be ready to tell Derrick a few things about your past relationship with Lekwachi. Precious advanced.
Things like what? Perpetual asked.
Things you know that had happened that will cause havôc to your marriage tomorrow. Said Precious.
What did you tell your friend about me that made her call me a hooligàn? Lekwachi angrily asked Amara.
Which of my friends, what did the friend say I told her. Amara asked.
Precious, what did you tell her? I went to Perpetual’s house to work things out with her your friend Precious was the one who walked me out and called me a hôóligan. What did you tell her about me? Lekwachi asked.
I didn’t tell anybody anything about you. Is it today you know Precious’s mouth runs like a tap? When she opens her mouth she talks whatever she feels like. Come inside don’t stand on my door like a soldier. Amara said to Lekwachi and left the door open for him.
Look, Amara, I don’t want Perpetual back to date and dump her. I want her back because I’m ready to settle down. I want her as my wife. Please help me. I can’t afford to watch another take her from me. Lekwachi said and brought out his cannabîs to light up.
Don’t light up that thing here. My neighbors will think I’m the one smoking. You need to stop taking this because it now affecting you. I’ve told you no turning back for Perpetual. How do you think someone with an engagement ring on her finger will listen to your plea and come back to you? It is not possible. I can’t talk to Perpetual again. The only thing I know I can do for you is to get some information about Derrick as we agreed on. Amara said.
Then start gathering some information about him now what are you waiting for? I want to know what he does for a living, his home address, his best friend, and his phone number. Lekwachi said.
I will do my best. Amara said.
Babe, how do you want our wedding to look like? Derrick asked Perpetual.
Wow, I want it colorful. Perpetual said.
Okay, colorful like? Derrick asked.
I don’t know. But I want it beautiful and colorful. Perpetual said smiling.
Are you kidding me? Don’t tell me you don’t have a dream wedding. Derrick said.
What’s your dream wedding? Perpetual asked Derrick.
Go first. I was the one who asked you first. It is your dream wedding we will have not mine. So tell me. Derrick asked.
O-k-à-y, my dream wedding is… Babe I don’t know let’s just have a wedding. Perpetual said laughing.
Okay, we will not just have a wedding. What about shifting our wedding date from the 16th of next month to the 2nd of the upper month. Then we travel to Dubai where we can get your wedding gown, and invite any artist of your choice to perform that day. How do you see it? Derrick suggested.
Wow! Yes, I love it! That’s my dream wedding. Perpetual exclaimed and jumped into Derrick’s arms.
Weeks later.

I trust you na. Everything gó déy double-double. Precious said.
Dico limited. This guy is made. Mare looking at this invitation you will know the wedding is not child’s play at all. Amara said admiring the card.
We are talking about Dûbài trîp and you are busy looking at the invitation card. I’ve been the one telling her what she should buy for me. Don’t just drag anything with me when Perps comes back from Dubai. Perps, please buy surplus shoes and hang bags for me forget this one. Precious responded to Amara.
Who has your time? Abeg Perps when are you taking us to Derrick’s house for sightseeing? I know his house must be heaven on Earth. Amara asked.
Hahaha, don’t worry as soon as we return from Dubai I will invite you guys over to his house. That’s one is a must. Perps said.
