CHIOMA THE VILLAGE GIRL
EPISODE 17
FROM THE LAST SCENE
*Jake’s phone was ringing………*
I looked at the caller and it was an unknown number, I wanted to ignore it but I changed my mind and picked it
‘’hello’’
‘’jake or whatever they call you what have you done to my sister, I warned her about you, I knew you were fake , and evil but I promise you that God must punish you’’ she fired.
I knew it was no other person than Amaka chioma’s sister====
‘’I can explain, I didn’t mean to do that pls help me beg chioma, I am coming to explain everything to her’’
‘’shut up , jake why are you this wicked and heartless mind you I don’t want to see your face near our compound’’
‘’pls don’t get me wrong, I can explain everything how it happened’’
‘’keep that to yourself and stay off my sister’’ Amaka said and hanged up.
‘’oh God what have I gotten myself into’’ I lamented.
I didn’t eat anything that day nor talk to anyone and my grand ma was worried. That same night I logged into facebook and saw several pictures of the incident that happened in school with several comments and reactions and the worst part was that I was tagged to all the pictures and you know what that means my mum, sister, dad, friends will see that. That night I felt like dying but I didn’t.
The next day was our school party but I didn’t attend it, Emeka was set and ready to go, kimkom was even waiting outside but I told him I am not attending the party, he understood my condition and consoled me but on the long run when mama heard I wasn’t going , she asked me why and I told her I wasn’t feeling too well that am going to go later in the day…..
At exactly 3pm I got prepared, boarded a bike straight to school. When I got there, the party was still going on but almost about to finish as they were giving out award. I went to the first library where I could see everything that was going on in the party.
SCHOOL PARTY GROUND====
‘’we have less time and this should be done very fast meanwhile our graduating students should also get prepared for their award and graduation’’ a teacher annouced.
‘’now for the ss2 we are giving out eight awards and there is no time so we gonna make it snappy. As soon as you hear your name just come immediately’’
‘’I call on mr obiano to help me with the presentation. The first award goes to the best student in mathematics Louis Chinedu’’
They kept on calling different awards in different science subject till it got to an award meant for the neatest student in the school, I was surprised to hear my name yea I merited the award but I wasn’t in the party so Emeka had to collect it for me. After the party we went to our class while our teacher joined us to distribute our results and party parkage…..
‘’Jake why didn’t you attend the party?’’ he asked
‘’sir I wasn’t feeling too fine’’
‘’hope you are better now’’
‘’yes sir’’
‘’see me before you go’’
I saw the reaction in most of my class mate face, some of them even avoided me. I heard some gossiping why I was given the neatest….
‘’don’t mind him, he is neat outside but cruel and dirty inside’’ Ada whispered to Gloria while I sighed.
I tried getting Chioma’s attention but all my plans and moves were abortive. I felt like an outcast because everyone avoided me except Anita who was following me all about like an house fly.
Finally, I collected my result and I came 3rd position in health science, Chioma was 2nd, Louis 1st, the crazy Anita 11th imagine… the school was getting scanty and Emeka was set to leave while I quickly went to meet Mr johnson our class teacher.
‘’sir am about leaving so I decided to come and see you quickly’’.
;’’wow cool I just want to tell you few things before you leave… Jake I see potentials in you, you are bright, hardworking but don’t allow female issues to put you down, its not as if I don’t know what’s going on or trending in this class but I must warn you stay off girls’’
‘’thank you Mr johnson I appreciate and I must work towards your advice’’
‘’good, safe journey back to Lagos’’
‘’oh thanks have a nice holiday’’
‘’your welcome’’
I later joined Emeka with Kimkom and we went home. About twenty five hours later, I found myself in my fathers house in Lagos, for the first time, I felt happy for quite some days. Home is really fun with all my family members, Cindy on the other hand had to take responsibility of blocking that post I was tagged on from my parents’ accounts to save me from trouble….
CHIEF MADU’S GARDEN=====
‘’so how is this your Chioma and tell me what really happened in that picture’’ Cindy asked sipping from her fruit juice.
‘’hmmmm well the relationship has fallen apart, a girl has been pestering my life in Enugu that she had to send some evil boys to treaten my life’’
‘’What?? How’’
‘’she loves me but I don’t love her and those evil boys gave me 24 hours to propose to her in public that’s the origin of that pics you saw’’
{knocking on the gate}
‘’some one is knocking’’ Cindy said
‘’Adamu check who is at the gate’’ I instructed….
Cindy and Jake watched Hannah entering the compound, with the expression on her face, she looked so mean and determined. Jake wanted to run, but was stopped by Cindy who held his shirt.
‘’there is no need running, I won’t waste much of your time’’ Hannah said slowly moving towards them.
‘’hey whatsapp Hannah’’ Cindy greeted
‘’am doing good dear’’
‘’Jake this is the necklace you gave me the night we came together, have it back’’ Hannah said giving the necklace to Jake.
‘’Hannah it hasn’t gotten to this na, you can keep the necklace, I still love you;’’
‘’what did you just say??? Love?? Jake you love me and you were having affair with those village things, I even saw the photos… pls don’t provock me take and let me leave’’ she shouted in a loud tune.
‘’whats happening here??’’ my mum asked from behind.
‘’erm erm mum its nothing, we are just trying to sort some issues’’ Jake answered quickly.
‘’Hannah dear why are you crying???’’ Jake’s mum asked.
‘’its nothing ma, am just telling Jake something’’ she said wiping her tears.
‘’what is going on here that you guys aren’t telling me Jake, Cindy’’
‘’mum we are just talking, about some sort of things that concerns us’’
Jake’s mother starred at them all in confusion and suspense.
‘’ you all should come in’’ she murttered.
CHIEF MADU’S SITTING ROOM== DOWNSTAIRS
‘’Hannah are you pregnant for Jake??’’
‘’oh no ma how can I be, that’s not the problem here ma’’
‘’ok so what’s the problem here?’’
‘’ok mum let me open up, Jake and Hannah have been dating for sometimes now, you know we are close family friends but since Jake went to the village he dumped her, chasing after some sort of village girls. Hannah only came to give him back their relationship necklace’’ Cindy said.
‘’taaaaaahhhh’’’ Mrs MAdu gave Jake a dirty slap that pushed him backward.
‘’mum!!’’
‘’you deserve more than that, fine am not offended with your relationship but for the fact that you left her for some village hopeless people, do you want to spoil our reputation?’’ Jake’s mother said.
Jake was too annoyed that he left the sitting room while his mother cuddled and pleaded with Hannah but she refused, saying that she can’t continue with Jake but that does not mean anything to the both families’ realationship…..
