EPISODE 7
As soon as Emmanuel packed and left the
hostel, i felt very empty and it looked as if i
had lost something precious, cos i really
had gotten used to his presence. I couldn’t
even stay five minutes without thinking
about him, nor stay an hour without
flashing or calling his phone.
Seriously it really appeared as if my whole
life depended on him and that was equally
when i started to notice some changes in
him.
His phone calls drastically reduced to the
extent of twice on a very good week, which i
really didn’t care about, since i did most of
the calling, but the one which pained me
the most was when he didn’t call me on my
birthday, but only sent me a text message
which got me extremely annoyed……
“How can a text message be compared to
his sweet voice?” i had asked myself
throughout that day as i waited patiently
for his phone call which never came. Yet
with tears in my eyes i read his text
message over and over again till i finally
slept that fateful night without hearing his
voice.
“Or was he waiting for me to call him on
my own birthday?” i wondered sorrowfully.
It really was very disheartening
to receive phone calls from friends who
meant nothing to me, while the person i
called my boyfriend found it very hard to
call me and that moment was equally when
i began to have serious doubts about him.
“Did i truly choose the right person?” i
asked myself over and over again that
fateful night.
I didn’t expect him to buy me jewels, nor
clothes, because i knew he just graduated,
but all i wanted was just to hear his voice
that particular day which was very hard for
him to satisfy me with.
I couldn’t control my emotions the
following day and with a shaking hand, i
dialed his phone number.
“Hey baby, what’s up?” he asked when he
picked his phone, but due to my anger i
couldn’t answer him, but instead poured out
my unhappiness to him.
“You have really changed! You can’t even
call me on my birthday, you are very
heartless, please don’t call my number
again!”
I poured out to him before ending the call.
Even though i shouted at him, i really had
expected him to call me back. So I held my
phone hopefully, thinking that he would call
back but he equally found it too difficult to
call back. I really can’t describe how i felt
that moment, because i was more than
devastated. He finally called me around
9pm, but due to my anger i refused to
answer my phone, which rang five times
before a text message came in.
The text message was from him and when i
read it, i nearly fainted.
“I know it will come to this one day but i
never expected it could be so soon, anyway
goodluck with your life, i know you are with
another guy that’s why you are not
answering your phone. I won’t disturb you
again just as you ordered”
The text message he sent me really smote
my heart and tears dropped out from my
eyes as I read it over and over again.
“So Emmanuel had never trusted me”, i said
to myself as i cried and the urge to call him
back and beg him that moment was so
great, that i had to drop my phone.
“Life why are you this cruel?” i heard myself
ask. Mariam my roomate rushed to my side
with concern written all over her face but i
said nothing as i handed my phone to her.
Her face equally turned white as she read
the text message Emmanuel sent me.
“Hmmmm so so cruel”, i said to myself as
all the memories kept flashing back……
“Baby girl, this text message shouldn’t
depress you nah. I believe he is just angry,
you know how guys behave sometimes”
Mariam tried to console me but yet i was
unable to stop myself from crying that
night.
The following morning, she called him with
her own phone but he refused to answer
which really surprised Mariam and all she
did was just to shrug and shake her head.
“Don’t get yourself worked up over him, he
should be the person to cry for you, so dear
lets forget about him and prepare for
market, you know our food stuffs has
finished” she said to me as she expertly
changed the topic.
************************
Emmanuel never called me, neither did i see
him for the rest of that year but i soon
pushed him to the back of my mind as i
focused all my energy in my studies, which
was why i came to school in the first place
and not to fall in love with someone
who doesn’t deserve me.
However that period was very traumatic for
me, beause i woke up sometimes feeling
very lonely. What really kept me going was
my determination to get over him as i swore
not to be so easily used again. Although i
couldn’t really believe that a guy like
Emmanuel, who took me when i was very
pure could easily forget me, as if i never
existed. This equally made my heart very
strong and hard towards guys that most of
them avoided me because of my cold
behaviour towards them.
It was also because of my past with
Emmanuel, which made me to pack out
from my former hostel and move into the
hostel where i met Samuel.
Hmmm Samuel. The guy who softened me a
bit and made my heart beat fast again.
******************
“Hope I’m not making a major mistake
again?” i asked myself as i tossed around
on my bed but then i really didn’t know how
his charms were able to soften my heart
and turn me back to a sweet girl capable of
loving again.
I was still thinking about him when my
phone rang briefly and stopped, when i
checked the caller, it was no other person
than Samuel who had flashed me. A smile
appeared on my face.I checked the time it
was 12:15am.
“Why is he awake by this time of the night?
Is he thinking about me?” i asked myself
with a smile, and i was still pondering over
it when sleep finally carried me away.
Oh my Samuel……
