STRUGGLING FOR LOVE π
In love with Adaobi π©ββ€οΈβπ¨
Chapter 13
I went to meet my grandma and asked what is going on.
“obi! obim mooooo
She hugged me tightly as she spinned me around.
“your parents have woken up!”. She said excitedly.
“then, let go and meet them.
“of course my pikin!”. She told me to wait there for her that she needs to quickly see Emeka mother.
I felt so happy and full of joy jumping at every seconds.
“what happened?. Ada asked as she walked closer to me.
I then explained what happened to her was just looking at me without uttering anything.
“are you alright?. I asked as she nodded her head.
“so, you’re going now?. she asked.
“of course!. I answered excitedly.
“okay, have a nice time and my regards to your parents.
immediately she said that I knew she wasn’t happy, not because my parents are back to life but because she knew I would definitely be going back to the city with my parents. I moved closer to her and held her hand.
“don’t worry, I will surely come back to get you”. I said.
“but, when?. she asked looking cold and sad.
“I promised you that….
“no, don’t promise me! I have accepted all this as my fate. my mother is gone! and the saddest part is that my father wouldn’t want to care about me again since I’m not his biological child. but heaven have failed me, you are also leaving me now going back to your parents and to your definitely permanent home to continue your life journey whi…
“please, don’t say…
She then cut me shut.
“don’t say what! I will be here now to face the consequences of my mother action. even my so called father has been apprehended ha! me Adaobi a daughter of a native doctor who is locked up. She broke into tears turning back at me telling me to go that my grandma is coming already.
I looked behind and saw her coming with excitement but right now I’m filled with joy and sadness that I can’t even comprehend which is suitable to me at that moment. I know I’m happy about going to see my parents but, how is Ada going to be living now with the way everything eventually turns out.
I stretched my hand towards her back to tap her as she walked away without looking back.
“oya, let go obi!.” My grandmother said holding me behind her as she hurried away biding Mama Emeka goodbye.
it’s evening already and I couldn’t see the traces of Ada anywhere again but I knew she might probably be watching me going.
“I just hope her tribulations will be over
I wish she can be happy as her normal self
how I wish I can have the capacity to take her with me. oh! those beautiful smiles of her are all gone, oh! God in heaven shine your favour upon her and make her happy again. I really wish I can help her this moment infact she really needs me most at this point if….
“why are you walking slowly?. my grandmother question took me out of my thinking cap as I entered the vehicle she had stopped.

YEARS LATER
I stood at the entrance of my school gate awaiting my new friend George.
“hey Kingsley! watch out here bro.
you might be surprised by my name but, yes. I changed my name when we arrived Canada. My well known name is Kingsley but because back then in the village my grandma prefer calling me Obinna just because she was the one who gave the name on my Christened day because it’s her late husband name.
“good morning”. I answered as we both exchange pleasantry.
“yoh bro you gat to make make it cool this time huh.” He said as I laughed.
“I know. but we should be able to cooperate together this time around in other to receive good marks, you know.” I said.
“you’re right though, that man is a psychopath bro we don’t deserve the last mark he gave us anyway.” He said.
“I know”. I answered as we sat down.
I don’t know why it turns out to be the that after I left the village I still couldn’t let go off Ada memories. infact, at times I woke up at night looking out my window to see if it could show me how she has been doing after performing abracadabra magic. my parents deprived me from knowing anything about her, even my grandma insisted not telling me her well being.
The most excited part of me right now is that we will be going back to Nigeria in some weeks to come probably next week in which I barely can’t wait too. infact I don’t know how manner I’m going to do it as I must make sure to see her again before coming back to Canada.
“what is wrong with you Kingsley?. Veronica asked snapping me out of my thinking.
“I’m right here with you”. I said lying as I laughed.
Veronica is a pretty girl and infact a machine brain worker when it comes to solving. I became friends with her due to that because, I don’t really know much about solving method.
she once approached me for a relationship in which I declined. she felt turned down and kept her distance from me for several weeks, I even went to her house to sort things out but it seems she really don’t want friendship with me anymore not until now that she just walked up to my sit.
“will you be chance after evening practical?. She asked.
“sure. I answered.
“then, let meet there.” She said immediately going back to her sit as I understood where she meant.
“why is she trying to be friends back when she had brag up about herself.” George asked hissing at her.
“don’t worry, Vero is a cool girl. I basically knew she might still come around.
“I see’. He said. so, where will you go doing the coming holiday?. He asked me.
“back to Nigeria.” I answered.
“really! so, you will be spending your 6 month holiday in Nigeria!. He asked in which I nodded my head.
“wow! wow!!? that’s pretty much! definitely you two can end up getting along.
“who?. I asked.
“Vero of course!. He answered.
“you mean she’s going back to Nigeria too?. I asked surprisingly.
“yeah, her friend told me about it some days ago, oh! I have forgotten you two aren’t in good terms then. He said making a funny look.
“we are not living at the same place so, we might not end up seeing each other”. I said to him.
“you never can tell, who knows why she suddenly came up to end you two issues. He said in which I looked towards her sit thinking.
I don’t want to believe that could make her come to me to be friends again. but, which ever way it’s we will be cool together.
AT THE VENUE
I have been seating for More than 15 minutes looking at Veronica who keeps staring at me without uttering a word. I decided to Break the silence as I asked what she has been up to lately.
“forget about that, I will be going back to Nigeria for my holiday because it as been long have long gone home.
“oh! that’s cool.” I said shaking my head.
“are you cool with it?. She asked looking through my eyes.
“of course! I will be cool, like I’m certainly gonna be cool with it. I answered smiling at her.
“what about you?. She asked.
“I don’t know yet.” I lied to her.
“okay, no problem. which side are you living in Nigeria?. She asked.
I reminded her that I have onced told her about it as she recollect.
“oh! I’m sorry about that. well, no problem is not that far to my family House.
“really.” I asked surprisingly as she nodded her head.
“maybe anytime we’re both in Nigeria I will come to see your father since I have known your mother already.” She said smiling.
I don’t know what her motive is all about coming to see my father or visiting my house in Nigeria. but, thank God I didn’t tell her about my going to Nigeria also. it’s better this way because I don’t want her to start acting into what is not amicable. With the fact that my mother has already liked her.
“I have whom I loved already, my going to Nigeria is to make sure I find her and reunite with her. oh! Ada. I hope you’re safe wherever you are. Emeka is a crazy boy who doesn’t have a stable number that I can call to at least asked about you.
“I love you obi”. those words brought me out of my thinking as I looked at her.
“I really meant it this time around too.” She said.
I looked at Veronica whose eyes as filled up in tears.
“ha! could it be that Vero has really falling deeply in love with me?.” I said in my mind as I cleaned her eyes
“I don’t want to buy this type of love oooo abeg. I said in my mind.
