She Did It - Episode 21

 

Bolanle entered her apartment and was experimenting with thoughts in her head. She hits her head with her palm whenever she seemed not to understand some thoughts racing through her mind that will aid her in unraveling some mysteries.

********************
At Sheila's apartment, she had finished doing a video call with her boyfriend, David. She quickly stood from the long sofa she had been sleeping on . She put her legs on her slippers, adjusted it on her legs and entered the restroom to urinate.

"Phew, I'm free. That's how I would have killed myself because of a man. I was pressed and couldn't excuse myself. What have I resulted to?", she yawned and covered her mouth, stretching all her body with her two hands facing backward.

"It's not my fault. Love conquers and weakens all", she said to herself. Bimpe's voice jiggled in her head, "shut up!, you're just foolish". She felt like slapping the voice.

She continued by saying loudly, "I don't even know how I ended up with a friend like Bimpe. She is opposite of Tola and I, when it comes to ideology. Woh! It's in the past. Let me take a rest". She laid on the sofa, but was awoken by the ringing tone of her phone

. She was too tired to rise, stretch her hand in order to answer the call.

"See, just call back later", she yawned and covered her mouth. The call repeated again, and she decided to rise and pick up the phone. It was an unsaved number.

"Hello, who is this?", she said in a faint voice. She was overwhelmed by sleep. She used her hands to rub her eyes.

"Do you really want to know? Then calm down and know, woman", the voice said.

"It's like you are mad. You woke me while I was having the best of sleep from wherever wretched you are. E no go better for you", Sheila bellowed..

"Why are you rude?. I might have something important for you, Madam", the voice said again.

"To hell with your important stuff", Sheila shouted and cancelled the call.

"It's like this one is mad o", Sheila stressed. She wanted to go back to her sleep but it wasn't forthcoming.

"Chai, see what this useless soul did to me?", she asked rhetorically and bit her finger. "But, I sleep a lot these days. I think I need a husband. David isn't extending hands where necessary. I think I will take the bull by its horn", she grinned to herself.

Sheila quickly entered her kitchen, brought out a bowl of turkey she had fried, and kept in her refrigerator. She opened it and made a straight face. She covered it back, moved closer to the plate rack, took a ceramic plate and moved back to where she covered the bowl of turkey. She opened it and brought out three and placed the bowl back in the freezer. She brought out a bottle of amarula drink, popped it open and poured it into the glass cup, half full.

. She mixed it with five alive juice and moved to her dining table to devour it.

While eating, she was thinking on how to make her fashion business bigger and take a trip to Cuba with David before they finally do secret wedding in Italy. She doesn't want too much paparazzi for her marriage.

"Can you believe I'm thirty two, Tola is thirty four and Bimpe is thirty one and we are not thinking of marriage. Tola is still in a serious relationship but Bimpe? She shields her man away us", she murmured and hissed.
"But what will she be doing with Demilade's phone number? Anyway, that's not even Rowland's friend's own. But my instinct is telling me that he is the one", she chirped in again. She picked up her phone to try Demilade's number, though she had been trying it before and it never rang. She dialed it, same thing. She went to her call log to try it one more. 

"Krrrrrrrrr! Krrrrrr!!", the phone rang. She was happy. Someone picked the call. The voice let out a huge laugh, "so you called again?"

"Urggh!", Sheila frowned. It dawned on her that she had dialed the number of the female voice that called her before.

"So, what do you want, woman?", Sheila yelled angrily.
