Chinneye: *Screaming at the top of her voice* How could you do this to me?

Ebuka: *Straight Face* Do What!

Chinneye: *Gasps!!!...................and replies with emotion laden voice* Love me and leave me, the love I ain’t so sure but you leaving me is as clear as the moon on a cloudless night.

Ebuka: I didn’t stop loving you, I can’t, I left because…………. I love you.

Chinneye: Left, Ebuka, Left (emphasis on left) I thought you were leaving, not knowing you were gone already; cant we atleast try to salvage what is left.

Ebuka: I am sorry but I cant , I cant even promise you friendship. That’s how far gone I am.

Chinneye: Don’t you dare use that “Self Righteous” voice on me, I am done letting you mess with my head. Seriously Ebuka, tell me what happened; was the SEX not good enough or was I not good enough for you? Tell me I need to know.

Ebuka: Snickers……………….. The sex!!! I mean…….don’t even go there, it was only once and it doesn’t count.

Chinneye: you condescending son of a bitch, may “Amadioha” shred your soul to pieces. How dare you say that, after violating the sanctity of my body *Sobbing*

Ebuka: Whispering “Cupcake” (her pet name I presume) I don’t mean it like that. You know I was always down for the necking………………..but SEX ……shivers and shakes his head; you decided to take the field of play below the belt.

Chinneye: Raging fiercely and screaming at the top of her voice again…………… No matter how well you treat a dog, it still goes back to its VOMIT, well “Mr Self Righteous” I never told you this but I was warned that you were nothing but trouble, a Chauvinist and an Egoistic Bastard. Yes I was warned but I thought you could change, alas…………………Taking a man out of the slum was the easiest part.

SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!! SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this point I had to adjust my position by the window I was standing…………..but all I heard was Silence…….. Labored breathing………..and more Silence. I think Chinneye scored one on Ebuka’s Ego. Just as I was about to give up on my “Aproko” duty, I heard Ebukas voice amidst sobs……….

Oh I see…………. This completes the puzzle……………clears throat, now I know why I get questioned for every phone call I receive from the opposite sex, the missing text messages and call logs………….. so you are responsible? Mmm…mhm my own personal firewall or should I say call blocker…………answer me you pathetic insecure BITCH!!!!

I should have known, I guess it’s too late, so listen and listen real hard; *in a voice close to whispers* my mother had a child out of wedlock at the age of eighteen……………..and that was the end of her education, the end of her dreams and the end of what could have being’s.

She settled for an unplanned marriage (if you call it that) filled with pain, hate and resentment. She became his punching bag, received murderous beatings for claims that she denied him the life he deserved and for stealing his dreams. HE of course is her husband, my FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Insert Nigerian Movie Sound Theme for Effect*

My legs were killing me but I dare not make a sound for fear of being discovered………………..oh bite me!!!!!!!! now my bladder too. And then I heard Chinneye’s voice almost inaudible…………… I’m sorry, you never told me this. She reached for him but he backed out and continued, but this time in a firm voice. I made a vow not to put any woman through my mother’s ordeal. After we had sex, not just sex, but unprotected sex I was scared, so scared for you I forgot how to love you again.

She walked up and gave him a hug, I never knew this was how you feel, I’m so sorry.

Wait!!!!!!!!!!!! did Ebuka just GRIN??????????????
