The Love I Regretted - Season 1 - Episode 32

.After the meal, I joined Sam to play PES on his system though I wasn’t good on it but I love playing it. I especially love frustrating my opponents by opponents by “killing” their good players and in turn get as many red as possible. After washing the dishes, Funmi also started to watch film on her system and asked me join her. Honestly, I prefer the PES but I just sign contract which I must've honour.

Sam: Bros Will, let’s finish this one first now Funmi: You don’t come now, don’t bother coming later.

Me: Sam, you are a guy, you’ll understand.

My relationship is not up to two hours, I’m not going to lose it to PES (We all laughed) I joined her and Sam was forced to join too as he got bored playing against the system. I received a call from Daddy Orire while we were still watching the movie.

Me: Hello sir Orire: How are you Yemi?

Me: I’m fine sir.

Orire: I heard you were not able to get your license on Monday.

Me: Yes sir, they said the process encountered a delay.

Orire: Don’t mind them, it’s because I wasn’t around and their commander wasn’t there too. They will do it now and you should be able to get it by next week.

Me: Okay sir, thank you sir.

Orire: Which product to do you prefers; Toyota or Kia? I need you to choose quickly.

Me: (Oh boy! This man is indeed buying me a car. I blocked the phone’s mouth and quickly ask Funmi) Funmi, choose one; Toyota or Kia

Funmi: I prefer Toyota for the availability of the parts

Me: Toyota sir

Orire: Why? You don’t like Kia?

Me: Sir, I’m thinking about getting the parts later

Orire: Don’t worry yourself about that. I found a KIA product I like here. I’m sure you’ll like it too.

Me: Okay sir.

Orire: I’ll have it send to your house. You should be able to come and pick it by next week.

Me: (Wao!) Thank you sir.

Orire: A message will be send to you now, I need you to fill those information and send it back to the number. They needed to process the car particulars.

Me: Okay sir. Thank you sir (The line went off)

Funmi: What’s it?

Me: Daddy Orire is getting me a car

Funmi: Are you sure there is nothing personal with this man? Nobody just wake up and buy you a car out of the blue.

Me: I’m confused too, but I’ll gladly take the car. I put a call through to my mum telling her what I just heard. She was happy for me but confused too. Come to think of it, this man did not plan to buy my man a car but he’s buying me a car? I’m sure there is something big to all this care as there is no smoke withouth fire. Around 1pm, Temmy called to know where I am as he, Dan and Sewa eventually joined us at Funmi’s side.

Dan: Bro we are going that side together.

Me: You mean to Aramide’s side?

Temmy: Yeah. We felt it’s better if we are many.

Me: Funny guys, am not going there to fight now. Temmy: Who knows?

Me: No problem, though I only tell Aramide I’m coming with Funmi.

Funmi: You told her you are coming with me?

Me: Literarily she wants you to come with me. Funmi: What’s up with both of you guys?

What’s your true story? It was Dan that started narrating the whole story to them. He narrated it word for word, the same way mum said it.

Funmi: So mum is not your real mum?

Me: That’s the reality I just found myself

Funmi: Are we going to meet your real mum at Aramide’s side?

Me: I don’t think so, though Aramide said there is somebody she wants me to meet.

Temmy: It could be your mother

Me: Sincerely, I only want to acknowledge Aramide. I’m not ready for real mother drama.

Dan: If your mother is there, what will you do?

Me: Honestly I don’t know. I’m not sure I’m psychologically prepared for that event. I can still take that of Aramide.

Temmy: That’s why we are going together in case

Me: In case what?

Temmy: Just in case, you never can tell

Me: Thank God there are two vehicles now so I don’t think we have any problem going together. Sewa what’s up, are you this quiet?

Sewa: In-law I’m fine. You are looking good today.

Me: Thanks for noticing, well I have announcement for all.

Temmy: You and Funmi are now officially dating.
That’s not news anymore.

Dan: You eventually overcome your cowardice. Me: What? How did you guys know all that?

Temmy: I have an insider you know

Me: Funmilola

Funmi: Baby I’m sorry, he asked about it while we were chatting and I can’t lie

Temmy: Wait! You want to make it a surprise before? Shuu, your relationship is long overdue.

Dan: Never the less, congrats guys. I’m happy for you both. Janet, meet your fellow daughter in law

Funmi: Janet? I thought Will said Ewa

Sewa: Don’t mind them, Dan always calls me Janet but Will and Temmy said they prefer Sewa.

Funmi: I think I love Ewa too. You are indeed Ewa (Ewa means beauty)

Sewa: Thanks dear, it’s Sewa though. We all played and joke along and I was eventually able to play PES with the guys since Funmi now have a partner in Sewa to watch the movie together.

Aramide’s call came through around 3:30pm and we all set to go her side. It was as if we were going for an important function as we went in two vehicles. I drove Funmi’s corolla while Temmy drove Dan’s Jeep. It was easy to locate Aramide’s place using the well placed description she sent earlier. The building wasn’t an hostel but a 3bedroom flat rented and shared among three of them nursing students.

They have a common sitting room and that’s where we all sited. Aramide and I excused ourselves into her room to have a private chat. She sat on the mattress while I settled for the only chair in the room. For a moment we were just looking at ourselves.

Me: You’ve known before we met at the party right?

Aramide: I know you are in this school and I know you are in 500level, studying Mechanical Engineering. I’ve been trying to look for somebody with those credentials before the party.

Me: So the help at the party was a mere coincidence?

Aramide: From my research, I’ve discovered you are the only Albert in 500level Mechanical Engineering, but none of your names is Kehinde.

That create a doubt but nevertheless, I saw an opportunity to talk to you at the party and I took it. Me: If that incident didn’t happen, would you have still talk to me?

Aramide: The incident was a spoiler. I planned meeting you the moment I saw you eneter the party hall.

Me: What if I did not come to the party, because I was forced to that party?

Aramide: I know I will get my chance one day. It was my fiancée that was invited to the party, he only took me along.

Me: You said he’s around

Aramide: Yes, he’s at his friends place. He’ll join us soon.

Me: My mother said you came with your mum to our house.

Aramide: Yes, that’s where I saw your picture and confirm. I even snapped it incase you’ll still not believe. (She showed me the picture on her phone)

Me: She also told me you were the one looking for me, which is the reason why your mother has been on her neck.

Aramide: She’s your mother too Will

Me: Until she admits that, I’m not sure I can call her that for now.

Aramide: Are you angry at her?

Me: we’ll talk about that one later. How did you know you are a twin, because if you didn’t come looking for me I might never know?

Aramide: I’ve always known because of my name Taiwo. People kept asking me where my Kehinde is and I in turn asked my mother. She told me you are dead, so I kept telling people you are no more.

Me: Hmm, that speaks volume

Aramide: She eventually told me the truth last year

Me: Why did she? She got born again?

Aramide: (Smiles) Yeah, she got born again last year but the main reason she told me was because her husband started having affair outside.

Me: You mean he’s cheating on her?

Aramide: It was something more than cheating. He was looking for a male child my mother could not give him.

Me: I don’t understand

Aramide: We are three, I have two other sisters but my mum was not able to conceive again and my Dad was keen on having a male child.

Me: You call him dad, but you don’t answer his last name?

Aramide: He’s the one I know as my father even though he never played it.

My mum solely took care of my education. I got to know all this when his affair secret was opened.

Me: Seems there is a lot this issue than we can talk now.

Aramide: I'm really happy to have you as brother. I've always carried that vacuum with me, to know you are alive is a big joy to me.

Me: Funny I've always wanted to be a twin. Though I would have preferred us being identical but your beauty coupled with great heart as replace that. I'm kinda loving you now.

Am I permitted to hug you? Aramide: I've always dream of that dear brother We both hug in an emotional way and I felt a vacuum in me was filled up that moment. I don't know where the sudden affection I developed for her come from but I can tell I'm so much loving her I don't want to let her go. I pray I have this kind of love for my mother too, it will be sweet. -----------------------------------------*"**********************"*********
