Wrong Number
Episode 35
“Oh God! History must not repeat itself, Tunde’s
girlfriend once slapped me, it must not happen again” I said to myself.
So I quickly cover my cheeks with my two hands with my eyes closed. Then I heard a voice from behind, I opened my eyes
immediately. This guy is my knight in shinning armor.

“Don’t you dare try it, not even in your wildest dream” Daniel said, giving her a wicked look. She kept are hand that was hanging in the air before back to it’s place. She turned to face him.
“Why are you here Abby?” he asked
“To get back what belongs to me” she replied him.
“I hope you are not referring to me?”
“Daniel please I’m sorry about the past, remember all the sweet memories we shared”
“You still remember that? I don’t remember that
chapter of my life anymore, I’m sorry”
“Do you really want to leave me for this thing?”
“Did you just refer to my fiancée as ‘thing’? He said using his two fingers to quote her. Abby, it will do you a lot of good if you refrain from referring to her as thing”
“Are you threatening me? I can refer to her as
whatever I want” Abby fired back.
“For your information, I’m engaged to be married to this ‘thing’, so deal with it Abby” he said with sarcasm.
Abby softened her voice and moved closer to Daniel.
“I told you I can’t come to Nigeria before but now I’ve changed my mind”
“About what?”
“I’m coming to Nigeria with you”
“He laughed out loud. “You are the funniest person I’ve ever met”
“How is that funny?”
“You broke up with me, do you forget so easily?”
“I’m sorry about that, I realized I made a wrong
decision then”
“I’m sorry too, but you are six months late”
“Seriously! you want to leave me for a local girl?”
“Obviously, I left an international girl for this so called local girl who shares my dreams” he grinned
“Daniel!”
“Abby please leave, you’ve over stayed your welcome. Your presence here is making my fiancée uncomfortable”
She gave me a deadly look and left the house in annoyance.
“I’m sorry about all that” he said to me when she left.
“Its OK, I’m just grateful you came on time before she dished me a slap” I said and we both laughed.
“I won’t keep you in this house alone any longer, but in case she showed up anywhere around you, call the police”
“Ok”
He held me in his arms and kiss my forehead.

Some days later, I called home. I talked with my parents, Sharon and lastly my younger sister Moyin. Moyin told me she got gist for me, she always has gist.
“Sister mi, things are happening o, God is indeed a miracle working God” she said
“You are talking in parables, what happened, go straight to the point”
“Just guess”
“Moyin! Don’t start this your guessing game”
“Sharon is crushing on Josh”
“Josh…..” I said trying to place the name.
“Our Pastor’s son” She cut in
“Did he come over to the house?”
“Yes he came last week and ever since then Sharon has been gushing over him”
“Really! God be praised”
“Every time we attend mid week services, she makes sure she sits where he can see him”
“That’s good news, Sharon crushing over a guy?”
“That’s not all o”
“Continue, radio without battery”
“Sister mi!”
“It’s a compliment, you are good at dishing out news”
“Yes and I’m proud to be a carrier of good news”
“Now tell me what I haven’t heard”
“Ehn en, as I was saying before I was interrupted. Josh also called me and asked about her”
“Meaning the feeling is mutual!”
“You get it, so I told him she came from abroad and every information he needed to know but I did not mention she was once a lesbian o”
“Good, that’s wise of you”
“Hmm, sister mi, Josh now comes to our house everyday and I know he came purposely to see her. I use to excuse them. They will gist, laugh before he leaves.
“All these in less than two weeks we left Nigeria?”
“Yes o, imagine Josh that doesn’t give ladies face in the church”
“Moyin you don’t know how happy I am right now, I never knew God will answer us this way”
I was happy that I started singing.
“I never you will answer me this way……
“Sister mi, you and Mummy are now the same, I can’t believe you are singing on phone. Can’t you sing when you drop the call?”
“It’s not my fault, I’m just so happy”
“I hear you”
“Let me thank God now, this can only be God, He did it”
“Yes o, in fact Mummy too has noticed their closeness”
“If that is God’s Will for her, then things will fall in place naturally. Thanks sis, Daniel needs to hear this, I have to go now”
“Bye sis, hope you shopped for me as well”
“Sure, we’ll talk later bye”
I ended the call. I can’t wait to give Daniel the full gist.
