Ade The Secret Admirer - S01 E02

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

When I finished reading the messages that were sent to me by Ada, I crawled little back to my bed, Resting my head on my pillow and then sighed.

“What’s this Girl up to? ” I asked myself in my mind, As I was wondering.

I haven’t stopped wondering, When my phone rang again. It was a phone call from Ada.

For more than thirty seconds, she couldn’t say a single word, All I could heard was someone trying to start a conversation but couldn’t.

“Good morning, Ada” I said.

After saying this, she laughed in audible voice.

“When are you coming to school, darling? She asked.

“By 8am, I would be there ” I responded.

“When will you leave? ” she asked

“Well, I can’t say yet, And why did you ask? ” I said.

“Well, Don’t worry ” she hummed.

“Okay” I said

“Okay bye bye, sweetheart ” she said.

I rest my head on my pillow very well, Then I sighed.

“Heamam!!!” I called myself in my mind as I started recalling how me and Amaka, My village lover, met.

I was living in Lagos with my Daddy and my step-Mother before I came to the village where I met Amaka, my village lover. Though my Daddy and Mummy were once deep lovers, But as fate would have it, They divorced. So my Dad remarried, But my mum didn’t, rather she relocated to her village. When I asked why she did that, She said that was where my Dad took her from. She said she’s never tired living in her village.

My mum would always tròuble me to come and spend my holiday with her in her village, But I don’t really like to go because I thought it would be very boring for me. Though my mum would keep protesting that her side is no more a village but a city. She would always fìght me not to pigeonhole her place as a village again.

So when I graduated from secondary school and sought for UNILAG admission, I decided to seize the opportunity to visit her, Which I did.

As I dropped down from the bus that took me to her village, I didn’t see anybody to ask where I was going to from, and my phone had switched off. I thought everyone of them has gone to the farm. So I kept walking till I was lost and couldn’t know where I was going again. Even when I wanted to go back, I couldn’t got the road still, I was just wandering like a lost dog who doesn’t know it’s destination.

I kept walking to the front maybe I would see a person to ask from or step into the village without asking from anybody. As I kept walking, I found myself in a place that was rounded with trees, But there was a tiny road that I was following, The road seems like a straight road that headed to the village, A road where People walk. so I kept walking.

While walking, I saw a strange animal that was walking toward me. I have never seen such an animal in my life,It was a reptile, I wouldn’t say it was a crocodile either, It’s a creature that can’t be defined to be understood. So as I saw it, I shouted at it to leave, But rather to leave, It was coming straight toward me still.

I use to be a coward, I’m not that too brave. So I started running back helter-skelter. Then I saw a young beautiful lady coming, On her head was a calabash, showing a sign that she was coming from a river where she went to fetch water. On her hands and legs were beads, A very beautiful lady, Fair in complexion as she was beaming admiringly. Well that wasn’t my concern then, I walked to her, Hid at her back and held her. I grabbed her brèàst mistakenly as I hid at her back.

“Please help me! Look at it” I was saying, Pointing at that reptile, as I was breathing heavily.

She then smiled and shyly removed my hands from her brèàst that I placed my palms on mistakenly.

“I’m sorry” I said, as I looked at her.

“It’s nothing ” she responded.

“Yeee! It’s moving closer to us. I’m dèad. God! ” I was saying.

Rather to be afraid, she was just smiling.

“It wouldn’t hurt us” she said, As she moved closer to it and touched it.

I felt relieved, As I smiled.

Then as I raised up my head, I saw her prettiness and comeliness.

“To be candid, I don’t know beautiful ladies are in villages” I said, talking to her.

She smiled, As she was blushing shyly.

“Anyway, I’m heamam ” I said.

“I’m Amaka ” she said

“Amaka, The beautiful village Girl” I said.

She couldn’t help, She smiled again. I like to see her white teeth and her smiling face again. Amaka is such a very Beautiful lady.

She was the one who took me to my mama’s place and that was how we started.

Back to school

I bathed , dressed up and went to school. When it was around 3pm when I had through with my first lectures in school and was set to go back home, As I got to the school gate, Ada appeared to me and blocked my way.

“Why don’t you call me when you’re set to go home? ” she asked.

“I’m sorry. Just that I’m hungry, I need to go home fast fast” I responded.

“Oh that’s nice. Let me take you to shoprite to do shopping and then from there to a beautiful restaurant to eat satisfactorily” she said.

I was humming, as I was scratching my back that was not itching me.
