I Fell in Love - Season 1 - Episode 3

****
Wemmy got a call from Feranmi later in the evening, he promise to check on her before the week runs out. They do chat on WhatsApp as well, She now sleeps well this days and she concentrated better on her exams and project.
He came during the week as he promised and they were back on their gisting mode. He told her about his ex and she realized while he’s been fighting the feeling he has for her. There and then Wemmy made up her mind.
“Feranmi, I won’t jeopardize my happiness for anyone or anything, this is my life and I think I now know what I want.
” Wemmy……
“I’m breaking up with him”
“What ! He shouted almost spilling the drink She served him
“I’m going to break up with Emmanuel” she repeated herself.
“I heard you the first time, where did that come from”
“Except you don’t want me”
“Come off it, you know how badly I want you but I don’t want to be selfish, he loves you Wemimo”
“More reasons why I’d rather break up with him than cheat on him. Feranmi, I’m not that kind of a girl, I wasn’t brought up that way, I can’t cheat so it’s better to end things with him. I’m talking about my future here, the person I want to spend the rest of my life with”
“Oluwawemimo,like your name implies I don’t want anything to tarnish your name, let’s not rush things here”
“I’m not rushing things. Here is my decision, I’ll wait till we finish our exams and project defence before I break the news to him. I mean I’ll have to do it before we leave school finally.
“Wemimo people will crucify us”

“We’ll cross the bridge when we get there and I believe our love we see us through, Feranmi”

After their second semester exams, Wemmy started preparing for her project defense.
A day to her defense, Emmanuel called to inform her that he won’t be coming for her defense, he’s going on an impromptu trip to Lagos.
She got a call from Feranmi in the evening.
“Hello good evening”
“Good evening, how was your day?”
“Fine and yours?”
“Not bad”
“Hope you are not too tensed for tomorrow’s defense?”
‘I’m a bit tensed, I’m going through my slides to ensure that everything is perfect
“Can I come for your defense tomorrow?”
“To cheer me up?” she asked smiling.
“If that will help relieve the tension”
“You don’t need to bother, Thessy will be there”
“Will Emmanuel be there?”
“No he’s traveling tomorrow”
“Then I insist, I will be there. See you tomorrow and have a wonderful night rest”
Thessy and Feranmi came earlier than she expected, she hurriedly introduced the two.
“Thessy meet Feranmi, Emmanuel’s flatmate”
“I know him” Thessy said, I’m just surprised to see him here, Oh! you came to represent Emmanuel”
………silence……..Then Feranmi’s phone rang, he excused himself to pick his call.
“Saved by the bell” said Thessy
“And what’s that suppose to mean?” Wemmy questioned her.

“I never knew you two are friends, and here am I thinking I’m your one and only friend”
“So you are jealous, see I have a project to defend abeg”
“All the best my friend, go and nail it”
“Thanks”
After her presentation, the Lecturers ask her questions, her supervisor was quiet all through, he was impressed on how she answered all the questions satisfactorily. One of the lecturers who is a sadist in the department was ask if he has any question for her, he said he has no question for her but he wasn’t pleased that she did well.
“It’s just that I don’t like the color and font of the slides” said the Lecturer.
Wemmy eyed him in her heart of heart. “Imagine, must he talk, he has nothing to say but he still complained about my slide” she thought
All the students present started murmuring, trust Dr Charles, he will always find faults in students. Nobody likes him, Wemmy pity his project students.
All the students cheered her up has she stepped down from the podium.

I joined Thessy and Feranmi, they hugged and congratulate me.
“Thanks, finally I’m free, you are next Thessy”
“Yes o, next week by God’s grace, I will come and tap from your anointing” she said smiling.
Feranmi already had his defense two days before her. Thessy excused them, she said she wanted to see someone in Ring road. Feranmi was with Wemmy till the whole defense activities ended.
Wemmy got to her room tired, she knelt down and pray thanking God for the success of her defence. She stood up feeling sleepy and hungry at the same time, while she was still contemplating on what to do, she heard someone knocking on her door, it was her baby, Sophia.

“Anty Wemmy, I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it to your defense, I had lectures from 9am to 5pm, I’m just coming now, I haven’t step foot in my room.”
“No problem, I understand”
“So how was it?”
“It was good, all thanks to God”
“Congrats ma, did Uncle Feranmi come?”
“Did he tell you he’ll be coming? “
“No, I just asked”
“Yes, he came”
“That’s thoughtful of him, I’m hungry and tired”

“That makes the two of us, you know what go and shower and relax while I fix us something to eat”
“Thank you” she said gleefully, you are a life saver, I’ll really miss you when you leave”
“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine my dear, now go and change”
Wemmy started packing her things, willed out some while most of them goes to her precious Sophia. Then all the dinner parties started. She couldn’t attend all the final year brethren dinner all because she doesn’t want to go with Emmanuel, plus she’s not in a party mood at all, she had enough issues on her table already, so there is no point forming couples, since she’s planning to break up with him. She only attended that of her fellowship.

She called Feranmi and told him she’ll be traveling in two days, which means she’ll have to tell Emmanuel everything the next day. Feranmi had already given out his room and everything in it to his cousin the only thing he needs to take from his rooms are his clothes and personal belongings, that’s guys for you anyway.
She advice him to leave the house before she come around the next day, she doesn’t want all this drama she sees on movies to occur. But he insisted on staying since they are in it together, but she made him see reasons, he later agreed reluctantly, She promised him she’ll be okay.
But before she meet Emmanuel tomorrow there’s someone she had to open up to……Thessy
