Must Read: The University Prestos

He started asking me series of questions, what happened to me? Why i was crying? Did anybody die? What was it that was making me cry?i couldn’t respond to any of his questions, he had to go and call Ezekiel, that one too started asking series of questions, the most annoying part was that Aminat coincidentally walked in and met me crying around 7pm

Aminat: What happened to Rahman..why is he crying?

Ismaeel: we don’t know ooo..he has been crying for the past two hours

Aminat: Did someone die for him

Ezekiel: we don’t know oo….even if someone died for him, it shouldn’t be up to this now, we have been asking him for the past 2 hours but he is just crying without saying anything..

Aminat: You guys should leave us alone, maybe he doesn’t want to talk to you guys ni
“Ezekiel and Ismaeel left the room and i was left with Aminat”

Aminat: What happened to you rahman? Please talk to me dear, you can talk to me…did anybody die for you?

“i shake my head to show that nobody died”

She asked so many questions which i nodded know to then she drop the bombshell,

Aminat: I know what happened…Aisha disappointed you, she jilted you..tell me, what exactly happened between you guys? Did she call it quit?..Talk now, sincerely i don expect all these from you, a problem shared is half solved jare….

“Aminat used her hand to wipe away the tears on my face and i couldn’t even stop her, after pestering my life for so much then i busted out”

Me: Aisha is with another guy, i met a guy in her place that came from Lagos

Aminat: Ehn..ehn, what now happened?

Me: She introduced me to the guy as a brother who gives them tutorial and introduced the guy to me as her fiancée

Aminat: where was that?

Me: Just now..in her house, the guy is still in her house and am sure he has been around since yesterday and not going anytime soon
Aminat: Wow..this is serious but irrespective of that, you don’t need to feel disappointed like this, you are a man…If a lady leave you, its another lady you will marry now and if you kill yourself because of a lady, so many lady will pass by your grave and spit on you. Do you realize exam is coming and you need to be strong, not for yourself alone but for the people that always rely on you.

Another thing is for you never to show your weakness to people as they will mock you behind your back. Please brace yourself up abeg..do you have exam tomorrow?

Me: yes….

Amina: what time

Me: 8am and 3pm….

Amina: Then you need to take this out of your mind right now so that you can prepare for your exam Rahman…and mind you, you don’t need to let your friend know about all these as they will definitely mock you

Ismaeel: we don hear already..so na because of a lady you come here dey cry abi? These girls are not loyal now that is why am not in love with any one of them and i can never be in love with any

Ezekiel: If no be say this happen to someone close to me, i can never believe Alhaja’s used to do like that too

Amina: Make una shut up jare..no be all girls jhoor

Ismaeel: I hear you…so, she was using my brother as school boyfriend while she has a fiancée at home..what was even her gain there

Amina: academics of course because i don’t think they ever had s*x because even all the time she use to come here that have seen them, this door is always open so that people will be seeing them…sebi we dey always mock the now

Ezekiel: Abi ooo..the babe eff up no be small, but Alfa, all in all you need to take it out of your mind oooo

All of them tried to talk me through my predicament and i stopped crying after a while.

Amina tried a lot as she make sure i eat dinner before leaving our room. She left our place around past 9. Ismaeel said he was going to one of his course mate house to read for the following day exam as he also has paper for 8am.

I prayed later in the night seek for forgiveness from almighty Allah and even think maybe it was because of my fornication God punished me. I tried to read later in the night but all i was reading was not even entering my head, didn’t know how i slept off around past eleven and woke up by 5am for morning prayer, i tried to see if i can still read something but it all prove abortive. That was how i went to school without reading anything till i went for the exam.
