Must Read: I Have Done Some Great Bad Things - Season 1 - Episode 104

Nkechi told me that she saw Amara in the Market,and it was part of the moments that delayed her from coming back early..Ordinarily,i wouldnt have tried to know what they discussed or anything partaining to the meeting..I knew that it is not for my own sake to ask,but i decided to ask anyway!…

The reason here being that my countenance betrayed me{its personal}..

I pretty much knew that Amara and Nkechi rarely talked,thanks to me! I also knew that two of them are walking time-bombs ready to explode,should incase they cross part,recurring from Ukamaka nearly killing me,and Amara laying the blame that Nkechi introduced me to her;once again,all thanks to me!

But one thing i sure dont know about is if they had found a way to get the past behind them and move on as great friends they were…
You can now imagine why i kinda like wanted to know what the content of their discussion is,regardless of the fact that it is none of my business..
..
I waited till we were through with eating before delving into the Amara talk..I have known that Nenye is not Nkechi’s classmate,but how she came to Know Amara too is what am still going to find out later;the reason being that she was also interested to know what transpired between Amara and Nkechi..
“gwazienu m ihe o wu ishi gina aunty Amara no na ako n’ahia?”{Tell me what is it you were discussing with aunty Amara in the market?},i found myself asking Nkechi as she returned from the kitchen after removing the plates we ate with,while serving us water..
“Odii,gi na Amara gi a! Kee ihe ihudiri n’ahu Amara?”{You and Amara sef,Odii..What is it you saw in Amara self?},Nkechi asked me jokingly,while smiling too,and much to the surprise of Nenye..
Nenye was like:
“bia Nkechi,olee ihe meaniri?”{come,Nkechi,what do you mean?},Nenye asked,looking serious..

“olee ihe m meaniri kpa ole?{What do i mean how?},Nkechi retorted,and sat down on the nearest sofa to her.
“ishi Odii na Amara ya self?{you said Odii and his Amara self?},Nenye stated,re-asserting her earlier statement in a sort of concrete manner..
“ehenu na..Olee ihe ishikwa nu m kaa?”{yes now..What else did you expect me to say?},Nkechi answered,showing a feeling that she doesnt want to continue on that Amara line..
“o wu ihe m na ekwu nu,kowara nu m?”{Thats what am saying,Explain for me?},Nenye calmly said..
Now here we go! Women and their quest for tale tales! Nkechi has even forgotten i asked her a question..On my own part,i just sat there in that sofa,popping out my ear drums as i unwillingly listened to their unending chattering!

“O! I choro ka m kowara gi ihe jikoro Odii na Amara?”{Oh! So,you want me to explain Odii’s relationship with Amara to you?},Nkechi answered her,and erupted into an unwarranted{to me o,but maybe to her,not!} laugh..
“kee ihe chekwa nu shi o wu ihe m kwuga nga kemgbe?{What else did you think i have been saying here since?},Nenye said..

“olo.Ichoro ichulara m Odii!”{No.do you want to chase My Odii away!},Nkechi answered her,smiling at me..
“Eziokwu eh Nkechi,ichobela igwa m eziokwu!”{Truthfully,Nkechi,you dont want to tell me the truth yet!},Nenye said,in a manner of “am just letting the matter rest”,and not expecting any reply whatsoever from anybody..
..
It was at this moment that i still re-inquired from Nkechi to know what she talked with Amara..

Nkechi narrates:
She started by telling me that Amara didnt look alright when she{Nkechi} saw her,and she was like trying to know what is wrong with Amara,to which she{Amara} overlooked,claiming to be alright..Nkechi asserted that Amara was only feigning to be alright,but wasnt..According to Nkechi,Amara was in the market cuz there was nobody else to do the buying..

Nkechi Continues:
When i tried asking her about you,Odii,she just said i should not call your{Me} name to her,and i was touched,even though i didnt exhibit such signs…So,it got me wondering Odii….Nkechi stops narrating here,opting to continue later due to the presence of Nenye!

The story got Nenye suspicious and probably confused the more as she looked on from Nkechi to Me,and then from Me to Nkechi,probably trying to wonder and make sense of whatever junk we have probably been talking of{or rather,what Nkechi has been narrating about..}..

On my own part,i regretted asking her to tell me about her encounter with Amara..I felt guilty,knowing fully well that one of the reasons,or probably the major reason why Amara is unhappy with me is because of what i am doing exactly;visiting Nkechi against my promise to her,Amara..

While Nenye looked on to a probable explanation,Nkechi grew uncomfortable,and i personally wished that i will just leave the house that moment,and go and comfort my Special dear Amara for the pain i have,and am causing her…

Minutes later,and here is the situation i assumed we found ourselves:
A friend who came uninvited to a friends house unexpectedly,the friend who got the August visit is now uncomfortable with the August visitor..

Few minutes later,and the situation turned to that of a friend who had an unexpected August visit from a Very good friend{Nenye}..The one{Nkechi} who had the August visit had already planned out how her day is going to be cuz she had invited someone else{Me} she wants to spend the day with…That someone else being expectedly invited has finally arrived and its looking like he wants to go cuz the Act that brought him to the house in the first place doesnt seem Feasibly realisable again,because of the Presence of the August Visitor..The house owner somehow now feels uncomfortable because a friend,even though uninvited,is tarnishing her plans,and as a good friend,It is hard to just send a friend away,plus she is already suspicious of you because of the invited guest…Rightly speaking,we were in a sort of Dilemma!
…
Few more minutes later,amidst intermittent chats,Nkechi’s frustration was showing clearly,and Nenye isn’t caring one bit at all because she doesnt know what is really happening..Meanwhile,i have already started thinking,or rather assumed that Jane and Blessing should be nearing their return home by now,that is,if at all they have not returned,considering the fact that i have spent almost 2hours in Nkechi’s house…

I finally realised That Nenye doesnt look like she was ready to leave,and that Nkechi wont likely force her friend out to avoid a friendship backlash and the growing suspicion in Nenye to escalate,so i had no other choice than to leave the house and go home..Thats the best thing to do!

I made my going home known to Nkechi,and from the look in her eyez,she wished i would stay more for her to crack out a way to remove Nenye out of the Picture..Even as a kid,i clearly understood that it is not easy to do..Infact,i was pretty sure that if i remain there,Nenye’s chances of going home is equal to zero..I just knew!

Seeing that i was determined to go,Nkechi wished me goodbye,cuz she was too frustrated by Nenye’s presence to even stand up and escort me out..But something happened…
Nenye said she will be going with me cuz of My bicycle,for easier and faster means to reach home since we were going the same direction,and she realised she will be too tired to trek home later..This changed everything!

As Nenye and i stepped out and are about to enter my bicycle and ride home{Nenye will carry me},Nkechi called me to come..I went to answer her,while Nenye waited..

“Odii,enwere ihe m choro ka i mere m?”{Odii,there is something i would love you to do for me?},Nkechi said calmly so that Nenye cant hear her..
“ngwanu”{alright},i said..
“Odii biko,m choro ka i biachi nga a ma Nenye ruo na nke ha..I ga emeliri m ya?”{Odii,please,i want you to return here if Nenye reach their house/clan..Will you do it for me?},Nkechi pleadingly said to me..
I looked at her and smiled,and i turned and looked at Nenye,who waved for me to be quick and come lets start going..I turned my gaze back to Nkechi and said smilingly to her that:
“m ga abiachi”{I will come back}…
She loosened up a bit,her countenance changed to a brighter one,and she waved us goodbye as i climbed onto my bicycle carrier,and Nenye rode us homewards…
…
On the way home,Nenye tried to sq££ze out little info’s from me about Amara and Nkechi and our relationship in her own mature tricky way,but i was too clever for such tricks,and so she rode on in silence after trying and failing..At some point,she told me to be careful of Nkechi,that Nkechi is a corrupt girl…I started asking myself,whats wrong with you dear? Who told you i dont know or haven’t heard about Nkechi before? Just drive us the fu.c.k home will you? You are the reason why instead of riding home right now,am riding back to Nkechi’s house..
Few minutes later,we were in their kindred,and she stopped,alighted,waved me goodbye and i took over the bicycle from her..I rode down towards my own kindred in deciet{for her} but turned immediately when i realised she probably have entered their house or compound pathway probably,and i rode back straight to Nkechi’s house with the highest speed i can think of…It even cumulated in passers-by shouting disdainful and scornful abuses on me,telling me to slow down….But i couldnt,i already am behind schedule!

It was not even upto five minutes,and i am in Nkechi’s house…I knocked:
“tap…..tap…..tap….”
Nkechi asked who is knocking,apparently,she didnt want to see any other person again because i am coming back,and because of the unfortunate incident with Nenye…And so,when i remained silent without answering,She quickly walked up to the door,opened the door,and almost screamed when she saw me standing there…She was like:
“Chineke eh!Odii,i meziri Magic!”{Oh my God!

Did you do Magic,Odii},she asked,which i wasnt sure if she was expecting an answer to…

I looked at her and smiled,telling that:
“o kwa m gwara gi na m ga abiachi?”{I thought i told you i will come back?}.
Nkechi was simply amazed,and it showed in her unusual excitement..As she welcomed me and ushered me inside the house,she made it known to me that she truthfully didnt expect me to come back again..She also said that,she wouldnt have believed it that i would come back if anybody had told her,not to even talk of the pace and haste with which i made it Back…

I can say i wasnt happy with the words,or rather,comment,but i wasnt in a bad mood already,so i took it as an acknowledgement..But i was somehow taken aback when she said,”now i am getting a glimpse of why Amara loves you very much”{she said this in Igbo,in my dialect}..

“Amara!”,i just mistakenly said,and Nkechi came close to me,after locking the door,bent down and held me by my clavicles saying:
” Odii,enwere ihe na esere gi na Amara?”{Odii,is there any quarell between you and Amara?},She asked me,looking concerned…
“olo o”{No o},i answered outrightly..
“hmmmm..Kpa Amara shii mee oge m juru ya maka gi egosighi na obi di ya mma ebe i no! Gwam eziokwu Odii,kee ihe i mere Amara?”{hmmmm..How Amara reacted when i asked her about you doesnt seem like or show She is happy with you! Tell me the truth Odii,what did you do to Amara?”,Nkechi pressed on..
“Amakwa m..i gwara ya na m no nga?”{I dont know o! did you tell her am here?},i asked,knowing fully well that Nkechi can never try such thing as telling Amara that i am visiting her…
She just smiled and told me in a matter of fact way that:
“O ma na Amara huru m n’anya nnukwu,mana asi ya nweta efe muna ya ikpa,na enwe gi onye o na ahu”{I know Amara loves you a lot,but if i should get my chance with you,i wont even send anybody},she said,and smiled at me…
“o kwa i ma na itoro m?”{Hope you know you are my elder?},i managed to utter..
“Ma Amara gi!”{Even your Amara!},Nkechi said,while telling me to come and bath,that am sweating and smelling{that girl have a bad mouth}!…
…
While i went to take the bath,she offered to bath me..I refused!
While i took the bath,she kept telling me about how she loves me and all that,and i would occassionally remind her that she is not my mate,and she will simply say it doesnt matter,and will refer me back to Amara….
Few minutes later,i was through and after cleaning and drying my body,i didnt wear my cloth again..Well, the door of the bathroom was open and Nkechi had watched me bath,but when i was finally through,she had entered inside her room{probably to prepare in await for our……..}…
I walked on to their Parlour,thinking thats where she is,before she called me from her room..On reaching there,i saw she is already lying down flat in the bed unclad,and she beckoned on me to come and lay down beside her,which i did…
She helped me onto herself,but no penetration,even though my Greatman has risen greatly..After making sure i was positioned on top of her,and my face was facing hers,Nkechi said to me:
“Odii,enwere ihe m choro ka imere m?”{Odii,there is something i want you to do for me?}..
“hmmm..Gini ozokwa”{hmmmm..What again?},i found myself letting out,and doing a lot of unrelated guess work on what she might be demanding of me..
“m choro ka i hapu Amara”{I want you to Leave Amara},Nkechi said,and was looking too damn serious as she made the statement..
“eeh?”,i said,as if i didnt hear what she had said..
“Mm,e meaniri m ya”{Yeah,am serious about it},she replied,in a way showing that i have heard her and that she is not repeating herself again;and i was still on top of her…

My face changed,and wasnt as enthusiastic nor bright nor exciting as it was previously..I simply looked away from her face,made to climb out of her body,but she held me in my hands and kept me back ontop her!!..
…
“ngwa ndo..A mam akpasuola m gi”{Alrite,sorry..I know i have looked for your trouble},Nkechi said,as she held me ontop her still..
I just looked on at her,and opened my mouth to say something,but nothing came out…
“ndokwanu Odii…i kwusibekwala nu ihe iji eme!”{Sorry now Odii..You have not yet stopped this your attitude!},Nkechi chidingly said,still holding me,and petting me,using facial expressions to woo me on..
I bursted out,laughing childishly in a hysteric and boisterous way,much to Nkechi’s amazement..
Before she could realise the cause of my sudden outburst of laughter,i had Penetrated her{and ouch! I still remember how frenzied her now tight GreatEntrance felt on my GreatMan’s entrance}…She was like:
“lekwanu nwa o..m ga egbukwa gi o!”{See this kid o..I will kill you o!},and then she grabbed my head and pressed it down as she allowed our lips to intertwine in the fantasy of the moment..
