Oga Martins - Season 2 - Episode 18

Deji had thought he was finally going to reconcile with his long lost girlfriend but instead things had got awry. It was indeed sad for him because he still loved Aisha. Aisha had left in a fury after a heated conversation with Deji. It was a dead end!

Martins on the other hand left the house at Deji’s behest. His friend needed some private moments with his ex-girlfriend. In three hours, Deji wanted to bridge the gap in their relationship that saw them estranged from each other for almost six years. While Deji thought Aisha’s presence in his house was divine, Aisha didn’t have same notion. In fact she saw their meeting as yet another disaster waiting to happen. Aisha had left Deji’s house feeling worse than she felt when she came, which left Deji’s mind roaming aimlessly in no man’s land. Martins returned to the house two hours before midnight to find Deji in the living room drinking himself to stupor amid loud music. Martins knew instantly that Deji’s present state was as a result of whatever had gone down between him and Aisha while he was away. Albeit, whatever it was that transpired couldn’t have yielded positive result or how do you explain a situation where a young man suddenly decides to go on a drinking spree; which ensured that he emptied the entire alcohol in the refrigerator. Deji was singing 2face’s track – “If love is a crime” between gulps of red wine. Martins wondered what it was about Aisha that was hard for Deji to let go.

“This dude has had every girl imaginable and unimaginable gracing his bed yet he whines over a psychotic babe from Auchi” Martins lamented under his breath
“Martins come join me” Deji said drowsily. He looked a bit tipsy but was still very sane.
“You know I don’t drink” Martins replied.
“Yeah, how could I have forgotten? The good old Martins who never smoked, drank nor even womanized and it’s not like you were really a Christian self…You know Aisha really likes you though.”

“What are you talking about?” Deji’s last statement took Martins unawares. He’s lost.
“Oh please, stop pretending you don’t know she does.”

“I think you’ve had too much to drink”
“Look Martins, even a blind man could tell. Why do you think she’s still being on your case since you guys fell out in school?”
“Well, her friendship has been hoax. She’s only been trying to make me pay for the extra year my actions cost her in school”
“Abeg make I hear word! You too like to dey talk like small pikin. So you think her presence here this evening was still about that? Wake up kid!”

Martins is perplexed.
“Deji, what really happened between you and Aisha while I was away, because I don’t understand all these your talk oh?”
“Aisha doesn’t want to get back with me, period!” Deji revealed.

“Are you crazy? Deji, that babe left you years ago. What makes you think she would want you back now? Your wealth or what? Because the Aisha I knew was never a sU-Cker for such. Moreover didn’t you say she broke up with you because you had been cheating on her? Aisha detests cheats. Dude, you were a womanizer in school and even when you didn’t womanize the girls kept coming. It was obvious she was just buying time back then”

“Hmm, you seem to know her more than I did, right? “

“I never said that”
“Well… Aisha only found out about my cheating ways a couple of times, but basically that wasn’t the reason she broke up with me”

“I beg your pardon!”
“As at the time Aisha broke up with me, I had stopped cheating on her. I had become a faithful guy and a hopeless romantic”
“So you lied? It wasn’t about that?”
“No it wasn’t. Aisha left me because she found out that I had become a G-guy”
“Huh! G-wetin?”

“Dude, I found out I had magic fingers in HND 1 so I explored by talents to the fullest especially when help was not forthcoming. You also knew Aisha had a humble background…I was her solace” Deji revealed in between breaths

“Slow down, dude! I still don’t get you. What exactly are you talking about?” Martins voiced his concerns

“Oh my God! You still don’t understand me?” Deji howled impatiently. He is exasperated.

“No I don’t”
“What part of what I said don’t you understand?”

“Everything…G-guy, magic fingers…why the code names?”

“Dude I was a yahoo boy in school”
“What? You must be kidding me! And I didn’t know about that too? Deji, so this life you are living didn’t just start today? How was it possible for you to have hidden that part about you all these years?” Martins is in utter shock.

“Martins, I lied about many things while we were in school especially the part about my background and acquisitions”
“Gosh! why is everyone around me full of secrets?”

A loud bang on the door raced Martins thoughts from Deji’s revelation to the intruder at the door

“Who be that one?” Deji bellowed
Martins took a glance at his wrist watch, he appears apprehensive.

“Deji’s it’s past ten. Are you expecting someone?”

“At this time of the night? Not at all”
“Probably its Akon or Aisha?”
“No, I’m not expecting Akon till tomorrow”

“Then it’s Aisha”
“Are you okay? Why would she want to come back here abi she tell you say she forget something?”

The banging intensified as Deji began to lose his cool.

Who be that mad man naa!!!
