Donigspain - S01 E43

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 43

As soon as Uche and I had

walked out of the sight of the

two girls, Uche gave me a quite

painfull slap at the back and as I

made to question the motive

behind the slap he shouted

”Spain De Consoler”; a sarcasm-

coated praise. I immediately

understood the point he was

trying to pass and so I grinned.

”Guy, when did you turn to a

Heart Doctor?” Uche asked

playfully.

”Hahaha, you know I don’t like to

see ladies cry na. That’s why I say

make I help console the girl,” I

replied him.

”Taaa! Like say I no see when

you dey expand like kerosene

wey pour for ground. Shey

crossing your hand over her

shoulder follow for console?”

Uche quizzed with a clown face.

”Abeg leave me jor. No be wetin

you think,” I remarked while

giving him a gentle push and we

both laughed.

We chatted over frivolities as we

walked back home.

.

We met Zubi and Joseph

standing in front of the house

when we got home. ”Una don

return? Hope you told that girl

make she no cross my door

again?” Joseph asked me when I

was close enough. But I

pretended not to have heard the

question so I asked him ”guy,

why you go do this girl like that

na?”

”Like how?” Joseph replied.

”Why you discharge this girl in

such manner. Una no even stay

long and you know say she like

you wella. What if she be your

sister? E no good o,” I

complained with a drawn face.

”Wetin dis one dey talk about? E

be like say over nice dey worry

you. Dem tell you say we

approach dem for long term

relationship? Abi you no

remember say Joseph get babe?”

Zubi cuts in angrily.

”No mind Spain. Just leave am

make him dey yarn rubbish.

Wetin again I go use the girl do

after I don chop her? Abi you

wan make my babe see me with

that small girl?” Joseph

supported.

It was a session of answering

question with question. It’s a

common trait of Nigerians and

the funny thing is we

understood perfectly the answer

the other person tried to pass.

Uche kept quiet as he watched

the three of us argue over the

events of the evening.

.

I was really thinking about the

approach I will employ to see I

got Nasa’s number from Joseph

without raising suspicion. I

observed Joseph had made up

his mind for the short-lived affair

to end. He insisted on his stance

even when I teased him that he

will surely call the girl back

someday when ‘konji’ visits him.

To prove me wrong, he brought

out his phone and told us he was

going to delete her number there

and then. That was all the

opportunity I needed and as I

made to speak Zubi immediately

voiced his heart ”Joe wait, give

me her number. Me sef go like

chop my own.”

”That reminds me, Nasa be wan

collect my number but I refused. I

tell am say e bad if I give am my

number when you no approve

am,” I chipped in hoping Joseph

gives a favourable reply.

”That one no be problem. I go

give una two the number. Make

una take do as una like,” Joseph

said and then called out her

number for us. We both typed in

the digits into our phones just

like two hungry lions even

though I tried to hide my ecstatic

feelings. Now, that I have the

number I must hasten my

footsteps because Zubi looked

dangerous as a competitor even

though I know some factors are

already at work against him.

First, Nasa already knew he

initially went for her friend and

so accepting him will be quite

difficult a decision for her to

make. Second, Zubi is yet to get

his own accomodation. My house

and Joseph’s are totally out of

the equation since am also a

contender and there seem to be

no other place within Agbani

where Zubi would feel

comfortable to execute his plans

if it clicked. Finally, I’ve already

sold myself to her as ‘Mr Nice’.

But I sure do know I can never

underestimate Zubi. He’s a

Lasgidi boy. Like I earlier

remarked, he’s got a huge swag

with an admirable fashion sense.
