....Throughout Service the next day, all I could think about was
CYNTHIA. The girl that led Praise and Worship looked; like Cynthia, the usher
that led me to my seat looked like Cynthia; even the Pastor’s wife that took
the sermon that day, looked like Cynthia. Honestly, I didn’t know if this was
Love or Infatuation. In fact, I was confused. I got to my house after series of
Singles
meeting (an EXCO btw) and quickly decided to arrange my stuffs. Tunde
and Edwin had already said they were coming to watch the Match (Chelsea vs Man U) in my place, so I had to fix things up
sharply.
Call her now… Don’t call her now! Text her, Don’t text her!
My Mind, body and Soul was just having a big debate inside my head. After
yesterday’s silent treatment, I had to be extra careful. I hate been looked as
being Desperate, and more importantly, I hate been insulted.
At about 2pm I was done cleaning the house. Mopped the
Kitchen, Washed the bathroom and Toilet and put in a new bedspread. My Parents
stay around relocated to badagry, but I remained in our Family house in Ajao
Estate. Since its closer to my work place, I decide to stay there till we find
a buyer for the house. As a gentleman, I just occupied a room there and do
monthly clean up of the entire building.
Going to the Kitchen, the Rice was almost ready, just for
the water to dry off, and I am good to go. I looked in my fridge; picked a
bottle of Red wine I had taken from Obinna’s wedding and began to sip. After
about two glasses, I picked up my phone, gently went through the phone book and
dialed a number.

I was just dozing anyhow!!! As in erh! In a long while, I
have not slept during a School Church Fellowship, but this service was just
something else. Usually, when I have to go for night class on Saturday, I Stop
reading by 2am, then get to the hostel by 5:30am and get ready for church by
8:30am. However, because of the quarrel with Sandra, I chose a different
reading spot and read alone. The more I read, the more I couldn’t comprehend
anything. Everything about Peter was replaying in my head. How I was Curious
about him, how I was anxious to get a call from him, his response to my message…
everything! Was I too hard on him? Was I being Impatient? Could I just be
Prejudicial? A remorseful feeling began to grow within me. I shouldn’t have quarreled
with Sandra and most importantly, I should have replied His message. Before I
knew whats up, it was 4:30am. I quickly found Sandra, we packed our stuffs,
coupled with some other friends we bagan to walk back to our hostel.
After the Grace, I was excited about going back to the
Hostel to Sleep, when our Choir Director asked us to wait for an emergency
meeting. I tried to escape through the Ministers exit point when Bro Nathaniel
just quickly came up to me. “Bless you Sister, you are looking good today” he
said, smiling sheepishly. Shey if I ignore this one, continue my waka, them go
say Sis Cynthia is a Snob abi? I said this to myself, and let out a very fake
smile… thank you bro Nath. That was how he dragged me to the meeting o! Its not
like I don’t like attending meetings o, but the one of this our church choir is
just so annoying. Girls will come to choir to show themselves, and their new
skirts, shoes and bags. It was so annoying! Especially because most of the
things they flaunt are fake items from Yaba. We that we get stuffs from Konga,
Jumia and sometimes Alibaba.com don’t blow our trumpet.
Sandra had already left since to cook, so, by 1:30pm, when I
got home, Lunch was served already. I took of my clothes, took a shower and
settled down to eat.
While eating, I switched my phone on and then a call came in…
Sandra errrhhhh!!! Your Boyfriend is calling o! Wetin make I talk. Jumping like
she just won lottery, Sandra came to my side and said…
