Obinna’s Apartment

As we finished the wine and i got up to head to my room for a good night rest, a call came into my phone. I gently settled back on the chair on seeing that it was no other person than Tessy who was calling.
“hi dear” i greeted calmly.
“what’s up, I didn’t hear from you again. Are you coming over tomorrow?” she asked curiously.
“no, i won’t be coming dear, because i’m leaving town with Adaora tomorrow. We have reconciled” i opened up while she kept quiet for some seconds.
“so you settled with her and felt it wasn’t a good idea telling me about it right?” she asked with a strange tone, putting me in a tight corner with the question.
“no dear, the truth is that i was with her all through the day and I never got the chance to call you. I’m sorry” i apologized carelessly.
“big lies, anyway it’s cool. Good luck with her” she replied and hung up. I dropped the phone and smiled at Obinna whose eyes were all over me.
“Tessy right?” he asked. I nodded silently.
“brother, i know with my type of lifestyle my advice won’t worth a penny. But in order to live a full happy life with Adaora you have to let go of Tessy no matter how difficult it would be. You have to try and do that bro, unless you want more problems in future” he advised. I breathed deeply and nodded in agreement even though deep down, i knew pulling it off would require a great deal of luck, zeal and courage.

Early the next morning, Obinna and i went over to Adaora’s house to pick her up for the journey ahead. The time was exactly 5:55am when we got to her house. She was already dressed up and fully prepared.
Her mum served us tea and equally advised us strongly.
“there is nothing greater than finding happiness with the person you love. You guys should make good use of your time together to plan your future. I will be expecting to hear your wedding plans when you return. May God protect you two” she prayed sweetly. We thanked and hugged her before heading to the bus station with Obinna.

On getting to the bus station, Obinna hugged Adaora, whispered some words of advice to her before facing me. He led me a distance away from Adaora, before speaking to me.
“hey brother, i’m really happy for you. God loves you man. You have a good degree. A great family. A lovely girl and lots of money. Don’t mess things up this time. I hope to hear your wedding plans when you return” he said sweetly, shook hands with me and left….

Fifteen minutes later, Adaora and i headed to Owerri with our heart filled with dreams and love. I couldn’t help but reflect on my struggles with her as the bus slowly headed to the East of the Niger.

I equally smiled as i planned how to propose to Adaora in the village. I planned doing it late in the evening, when the stars, the moon and birds of the night will be present to witness it all.

“oh Adaora, i Love you so much” i breathed quietly. Just that moment, She threw her head on my shoulder, and held me softly.
“i love you so much my Val” she breathed, closed her eyes and fell asleep…
