Stand By Me - Season 1 - Episode 7

RITA: As if I know, Lagos and traffic, well is ok till you come, please drive safe

KOLA: Yeah, you say so, but I don’t want to get to your place at late hour, I don’t want your family to start feeling uncomfortable when they see me.

RITA: Don’t worry they won’t, just be safe.

KOLA: Alright I will.

It was almost 3pm when kola called me to tell me he was in my area. But couldn’t locate my house number, I quickly went outside to look for him but couldn’t find him.

RITA: Kola, what color of car, are you in? Because I’m standing outside my compound right now.

KOLA: I’m actually on foot, I parked my car at the road. But what are you wearing? I mean the color?

RITA: I’m putting on a plain black gown.

KOLA: Oh! I think I have seen you, turn to your left so I would be sure.

I turned to my left as instructed and our eyes met. He was looking really handsome even from afar, when he got closer I became shy and wanted to give him a hand shake but he held my hand and before could say ‘jack’ he pulled me to his chest, giving me a very tight hug. I tried to push him away at first but his hand was so tight that I couldn’t free myself, I just stayed in his arms and enjoyed it too. Gosh kola was not only looking nice, he also smelled very nice.

After the long hug, I took him to my compound and all those women, in my compound that gossip a lot started saying all kind of rubbish.

FIRST WOMAN: Hmmm, anuty Rita rain go fall today ooh, this one person fine you come house, I been the thing say you be ghost self.

SECOND WOMAN: No mind Rita, people wey the behave like this, na them spoil pass. Bros abeg easy make we no come hear cry of pikin after nine months oooh.

Gosh, I was so embarrass, how could they have made me look that worthless before my guest. I took kola in feeling scared the more. I thought he was going to laugh at my room. But I was shocked when he said.

KOLA: What a nice place you have here

RITA: I know, it’s not as big and beautiful as yours may be but this what I can afford.

KOLA: Oh common, it really a nice place, although it needs a little bit of decoration but I like it.

RITA: Well if you say so kola.

KOLA: Yeah I say so. Where is everyone? Where did mum and dad go to?

RITA: Hmmm

KOLA: Again? Tell me what’s wrong dear?

RITA: I stay alone in this house. My mum died when I was seven, while my dad died when I was twenty two of years. I don’t have any siblings. I’m alone in this house and in this world. (my dear drop).
