Must Read: I Have Done Some Great Bad Things - Season 1 - Episode 95

We reached Jane’s house…I dropped her and made to start going back immediately,but she held me back,and said she likes me a lot..I just smiled…You are not the first person to like me dear,and you will definitely not be the last person..I said this in my mind anyway…

As soon as she made that statement,she knocked on their gate…We were both just there,staring at each when the gate opened,and standing there is Ukamaka…Jane waved goodbye to me and entered the compound,while Ukamaka stepped out,with all smiles….

After looking at me for some seconds,she just said rhetorically that,”okwa m naha emebila nwanne ya nwanyi?”(Shey,you are now spoiling my sister?)..I replied her that,”mu na nwanne gi nwanyi kedu onye ga emebi ibe ya?”.(Your sister and i,who will spoil each other?)…She smiled her customary smile while i assumed my customary innocent filled face.”odii eh,eziokwu o kwa ima na iwu nwa ojoo?”(Odii eh,truthfully speaking,hope you know you are a bad kid?),Jane continued…”Amam..mana iso mee m nwa ojoo..owu ashi?”(Yea,i know..But you are among those who spoilt me..Am i lying?),i told her as a matter of fact..She started laughing softly,and then used the Walled Fence of their house to support herself…”m kakwara nu icho ka………..”(i would have loved to…….),she started saying,but i cut her short by asserting that “ka m bia jema ebe uyo anyi,chi ejiela”(I will be going to our house,its getting dark)..I already knew what she wanted to say,thats why i cut her off…

She told me that i owe her…I was like,owe you how? She just told me to remember that i owe her,smiled at me and then entered inside,while i rode home……
.
The next day in school,everyone was already telling how their work is going and all that…Some have even heightened and enlongated their previous day boasts…It was even this day that i realised that girls were given a different thing to do,unlike us…I guess it was a feminine Masculine kind of Handwork…Well,one thing is clear;everyone wants to bring the best and score the ultimum Marks possible…Another fact here is that,whatever you present as your final presentation will be yours forever,but thats after the final assessment…
School that day ended as Handwork weeks usual end,more of whiling away time,and less teaching..School dismissed and we all went home for that day..After eating,and resting for not more than 20mins,my grandma sent me on an errand to OrieOkwu…OrieOkwu is the Market day of Umuguma,the headquarter of Owerri -West L.G.A…Like i have said earlier,Umuguma is just our neigbours..Infact,if nobody tells you,you would think that they are as the same village as us…The demarcation between them and us is just two buildings……I dont know shaa,but maybe,they both use to be the same Village way back…..
So,off i went to the market with my Bike to go buy what i was told to buy..On the way,i saw Akunna,who beckoned on me to carry her along cuz she was going in the same direction and location.I must say that Akunna delayed me pretty well that day,that i swore never to go on an errand with a girl again….
By the time i returned home,it was like some minutes after 3pm…But i was surprised by who i saw in our house as i stepped into the house….Sitting there on our Parlour Sofa and chatting with my grandma is Jane! Gush! Thought the plan was that i would come and pick her up in their house? Why is she here now? On her own innocent mind,i knew she didnt know the danger(really?) she is putting me in by being in that house…What if Amara peradventure should visit us or had visited us or was still with us? I swear,i would have lost Amara for Life! I had to tell Jane when to come and When not to come,at least to set things straight….I Dont want someone hurting my Amara for me….
.

As soon as i entered and delivered what i had bought,i beckoned on Jane,telling her that we should get going immediately,after i collected two wrappers and stuffed them in a nylon…I told grandma that i am going to continue with my handwork,and she told me to make sure i return early….
I rode out,carrying Jane in my back carrier,with minimum speed,speechless and the destination is our Uhu….Immediately we reached,we went straight to the Shade,spread the Wrappers there,and sat…..After a little tete-a-tete about what happened at school,i poured out my mind…I told Jane that she should not come to our house unless i told her to…She was like,why? I told her that she was lucky she didnt meet my uncle,that had she met my uncle,she would have hated me afterwards because i didnt forewarn her….Telling her this simply got through to her,and got her frightened a bit….But,i reassured her that i will alwaz be coming to their place everytime………

The message i wanted to send was pretty clear…The farther she was from our house,the better for us,and for me especially…I need not reiterate the fact again that Our House is Amara’s house too..

The message i had intended to pass,and actually passed,was pretty well recieved,though it was with mixed feelings..Even though Jane got the message clearly well,she also opined that she would have loved to be coming frequently to our house.(frequent whaaat?)…Her reason is that,she doesnt get to come out too often..They were not allowed to Wander off like us village peeps,and so i was the only eligible and legal reason for her to be leaving their house…You can imagine her situation!..Thats why i had said that Jane is a City village girl…You could also have undastood why i was reacting badly when i caught her sister Ukamaka in that unholy and ungodly place,doing the “we know what” act..I guess the reason Ukamaka goes out is because of Nkechi!.

Being the passionate me,i pacified her as best as i could..I told her that i didnt mean that she will not come and visit me,but just that i will alwayz be the one to tell her when to come..
This brightened her up,and she came closer to me and leaned on my left Clavicle..I guess my pacification only lifted her a bit..I was lost for what to do or say to return her to her previous state of Ecstacy..While she still leaned against me,i kept thinking of what to do,and the only thing that came to my mind was “my little garden”..But,going there will delay me again,and i may end up not achieving anything that day as regards my Handwork..As i wouldnt have wanted though,i asked Jane whether she remembers my little Garden that i said of yesterday..She said yes..

I told her that we should go and see it,that i will take her there..

She reminded me of my handwork….oh! So you even know that i came here for my handwork,and yet you wouldnt allow me do it? I said this in my mind anyway o..I Told her that when we come back,i will do it…

We arrived at The Little Garden,and the first question Jane asked me was,”Jesus! O wu mmanu mere ihe a kpa?”..(Jesus! Is it a person that did this?)…I laughed,and asked her,”o di gi ka o wu mmanu mere ya?”(do you think it is somebody that did it?)….She said,”ma agwa m agwa,na o wu ama m!”(Do somebody need to tell me that somebody did it!)….I laughed out a bit,and told her that nobody did anything,that it was nature’s handwork…She didnt believe it…

We wasted a lot of time arguing about the garden,and then finally,we rode back to the farm…

We both lost the need for carrying the wrapper to the farm…But i must say,that Jane was really of Great help that day as regards the handwork..

I did manage to cut down a tree more anyway,and after the necessary things has been done and put in place,we both started to go home..

I dropped Jane few blocks before their house,my reason being that i was dodging from somebody..The truth is that her sister was the one i was dodging from..I Told Jane that we will see again on friday..You can imagine her reaction! She said that she has already planned on how we are going to spend tomorrow together,and am saying Friday..I told her that i am going somewhere with my uncle the next day,and the following day too..So,i will be free again as from Friday..

She lessened her heightened saddened facial expression,saying that in that case,she will just come and stay with Mama(that she is getting to like her a lot),since my Almighty uncle will not be around..

Now,imagine my own facial,mental and visible physical shake-up..I was telling her that i will be going somewhere with Uncle because i wanted free space to do my work and finish on time for the presentation,and here is Jane trying to compound my problem..If only jane knew of Amara!
.
I told her that it will not be necessary,that Mama will be busy too..She said she will help grandma if she finds her busy….Ordinarily,i wouldnt and shouldnt be worried about what she just said,but the fact that Amara might come in or visit anytime alwayz frightened me…I didnt want to create a problem for myself…Amara is Nkiru and herself put together,and she is doing a good job of it…Even as a kid,i understood what it means to be hurt!

I had to swallow my earlier lie pretty hard,and now tell Jane that i wont go again with my uncle since she is coming to our house..I told her i will go with her to the Uhu as usual,and we can finish my handwork together..She was really really electrified and joyous as her physical expression told so,but she couldnt hug me or kiss me;We were in public!….
.
While going back to my house,i saw Collins on the road,and he didnt waste time in telling me to alight…Well i shifted to the back carrier while he rode me home…But we didnt go straight home,but branched at Aunty Shille’s shop…We bought ourselves some fried yam,potatoe and isiazu(head of fish)…We chilled it with two fanta’s Collins had managed to go sneak out from their house….Like i had being thinking in my mind,Collins brought up the issue of Jane….He was like,Odii,how The heck did i get to get that girl,Jane?
Collins was like,Odii,How the heck did i get to get that girl,Jane? I just simply told him that,”amahukwa m o”(I really dont know o)…”ihula nu ihe ahu ma eji aka..gi na eme nu enjoy gi,i ga kwanu ishi ka ikitula m”(You see that thing that i usually say..You will be enjoying,and you will never allow me partake in your Enjoyment),Collins said in a matter of fact way…

I Told him that it is not actually the way he is thinking it…I told him that it is a long story anyway,and i changed the topic to Ifeoma…
Actually,i dont like telling people my personal affairs with People,cuz i respect people’s privacy and value mine Greatly(Even though,i have despised this important part of me by starting this thread.).I just asked Collins that,”i ga arali Ifeoma nwanne Eunan?”(Can you Zap Ifeoma,Eunan’s sister?).Collins was like,am i mad? “I choro ka nwa ike ukwu ahu gbuo ya?”..I started laughing out loud,attracting eyez to our location..When i managed to get myself,all i muttered on his statement is,”upon kpa iha!”(Even as big as you are!)..”Odii hakala ha ahu”(Odii leave that thing abeg),Collins said..”m gwa kwanu gi na mu na ya arala,i ga ekwe?”(What if i tell you that i have f.u.c.ked with her before,will you believe me?),i asked him..”taa,lekwa gi Odii!”(Taa,see you, Odii!)..
.
I just smiled in my head with his last statement..”chai! Collins i ma di onye Odii wu o!”(Chai! You dont know Who Odii is o!),i said,disappointed..”Lekwa nu mu o? Ana ma m onye iwu eeh!(See me o..I know who you are,why not!)..I shaked my head..Collins was trying to make me say things i didnt want to be spitting out anyhow..So,i just asked her that does she know that i have Fuc.k.ed Ukachi time and over again,and she still begs me to come and fu.c.k her more..I Know why i had to use Ukachi to cite an example,even though it was bad of me to have done that..Presently,Ukachi and Collins has been best of friends,and so Collins was dumbfounded when i said that..Being the Class prefect,and probably the strongest in the class,nobody dared touch his things..But being the Thomas he was,he said it was a lie,though this time around,he didnt make it as an assertion,but as a flip-off statement..”ya wuru ashi,Juo ya”(If its a lie,ask her),i added later..I later added that if he still doesnt believe,that i will arrange a Fu.c.k session with Ifeoma tomorrow,and with Ukachi the next day;and invite him(Collins) to come and secretly watch us do the “we know what” act..
I have never seen someone so lost before like Collins did..He later got himself back,and told me to arrange the fu.c.k session..This made me promise him that i will bring that of Ukachi forward to tomorrow’s break period at school,since he is still doubting..Well,Collins knew i was saying the truth,but to come to terms with the fact that a friend he gave 3yrs in age was achieving this meaningless feats baffled him..
.
The next day in school,the handwork talks still raged on..Some have even finished their own self,and are waiting for the official presentation for its proper assessment..Well,peeps like me are yet to finish,so what will i say?

I had me a big raging thought and act to accomplish,so i cared less about most of what went on in the class..While still in the class,I would occassionally glance at Ukachi and smile,and she would smile back too..I was doing this,probably chyking her up for the task ahead,which is unknown to her yet.But, something hit me pretty hard in my mind:I have not really thought of how Collins will react if he confirms what i have been saying by watching us live! I really didnt want someone going all berserk on me because of his self-created unbelief..I started having the thought to back down,but on a second thought,i rejected the idea..I simply went to Where Collins sat,and with all smiles,i asked him how he will react if he should confirm what i have been saying..Her answer was such a calm but regretful one,”i will never doubt you again”…Thats what i only needed to push through with my plot…
From Collins’ seat,i moved to that of Ukachi to chat with her a little,even though there was nothing to talk about..As i expected,there were side talks which i couldnt possibly fathom out,but i heard whispers of Akunna and bla bla bla bla bla!
Break time came,and i told Collins where i was taking Ukachi to fu.c.k with her..But firstly,i went and bought her some edibles before now taking her to my little garden,which is near the School…I didnt want to look back while we walked on to the place,cuz i know Collins was following us at a distance..
.
We finally arrived at the place,and like others,Ukachi was also amazed by the beauty of the place too..She also did ask me whether it was somebody that prepared it that way,but i said NO.Unlike Jane,she didnt stretch the matter on.She told me that we should do whateva we came to do immediately,so that we can go back to school before the break period was over.
