Mmesoma's Dilemma - Episode 8

 

I love reading my novels and when they are Wattpad books with werewolves and Lycans then I do not like distractions of any sort. I was happily lying on my bed reading Catching Genesis, one of my favorite Wattpad books when my phone began to ring, filling up the entire screen with a strange foreign number and the options of picking the call or rejecting it, I wanted to reject the call but my curiosity is one-kind and it won.

“Hello”, I said when I picked.

“Sommie, I heard you are about to become a wife, what do you say about this?” the caller asked and I sat up immediately squealing.

“Lanre, you this foolish boy, come and rescue me from this wahala na?” I asked immediately, pretending to be annoyed with Lanre Shittu, though he knew I was pretending, my excitement was too obvious.

“Rescue you ke, was it not you that said you are a strong independent African woman who needs no man?” he asked, laughing audibly and I laughed too.

“Abegi, the way things are looking now ehn, someone should just come and kidnap me so I can have a totally legit reason to get out of this”, I said, slumping on the bed.

“Awwwn baby girl, sorry, but you know Afam Chibueze is not a bad husband choice o”, he said and I could imagine him smirking, I rolled my eyes.

“Whatever, I would be fine, if however all plans fail then get ready to kidnap me, do not even complain”, I said in a serious voice. He laughed in response; this boy thinks I am joking sha.

“Okay madam, I have heard

. Needed to hear your voice and let you hear mine, because I know you miss me. This is my new number, text me on Whatsapp and for the love of God, check you Instagram”, he said and I found myself laughing.

“Okay baby girl, let us talk later”, he said and I hung up, as I always did.

I really missed Lanre Shittu, he was my closest and in a way only, male friend and my favorite flirt partner. He had left to do a top-up in Electrical Engineering at Boston some months back and I know he would not be back anytime soon, especially considering that he wants to get his Masters abroad and even start working there. I really missed his company and I know that if he was here then the planning committee would be perfect. He is 4 years old than Dara and I and he taught us all the best tricks alongside his best friend, Tomiwa.

My phone buzzed and paused my daydreaming, I had a new Whatsapp message.

About time!

I saved his number and opened Whatsapp, I have a number of unread messages but I only attend to the important ones first, I cannot come and stress myself biko.

I know, that is rude, but I am a bad texter and some people send weird messages.

Dara: Okay, this Medical test thing is definitely not unexpected so we are all good na.

Me: I know ba, hopefully nothing dramatic happens.

Ezinne: Abegi, knowing mummy, she has something super dramatic lined up for that day.

Me: But I am going to school that week, she cannot possibly do much na. plus I hate hospitals so much.

Ezinne: Says who? She can have the Chibueze’s at the hospital for the test

Dara: Jesus! But that would cause a scene o.

Me: Biko, mummy is no stranger to drama. Ezinne is right, what are we going to do? The Chibueze’s should not come o, it will just give that Mrs.

Read " Coming of Age " by the same author ( Eboseremen )

. Chibueze enough to use to vex me.

Dara: Chai and my family cannot come o.

Me: Ezinne, talk to mummy na, maybe you and Dozie can convince her that we should run this one like every other medical checkup we have ever had before the HIV affair.

Ezinne: Okay o, I will try my best. Let me go and talk to her now.

Me: So you guys are back?

Ezinne: Yes, mummy used Dozie and I do run errands today, I just want to sleep sef. I am coming, let me talk to her first.

Me: Okay

Dara: Alright b.

I waited for Ezinne to respond and I was sure that with the help of Dozie, they would find a way to convince mum that the Chibueze’s did not have to be there, my sister and my mother always fought but they understood each other very well and that amazing understanding was about to be used in our favor.

At least I hope it would be o.

Ezinne: So mummy says that she understands where we are coming from and she wants to keep all these as straightforward as possible. So it would just be our small family of 6 and we would all be getting medical check-ups. God I hate hospitals.

Dara: Yay!

Me: Thank God!

Dara: I know ba.

I am distracted from the message I am typing by the sound of our gate opening and a car driving in. I pause to listen but cannot make out anything; I just hope it is not the Chibueze’s sha, because their wahala ehn.

Me: Babes, I cannot wait to go back to school. Final Year is going to be lit asf especially with this new drama. Our darling Tobe has no idea what we have planned for him o. Lmao!

Ezinne: Meso, stop laughing now, the Arsenal is here and things are about to get really messy. The Chibueze’s will not be at the hospital but grandma and our aunties would be there. Also, get ready to leave your room Dozie is coming to pick you up.

Blood of Jesus! What is the worst that could possibly happen right now?
