Continues in episode 28
She had to remind me to close my mouth…the shock was that much.
She got up and hugged me; I didn’t know we could ever hug again going by the awkward twist that kind of ended our friendship.
We talked all the way to Lagos. She started off by apologizing for the way she treated me back in school, after I left Captain…
“I’m really sorry, I know I could have and should have been a better friend but I have no excuse.
I am just happy for this opportunity to at least apologize.
I later tried to reach you but had deleted your number and couldn’t find it”
I didn’t say anything at first, I was just amazed at what was happening (I had learnt from Folahan to listen more and talk less) so I let Deola do most of the talking.
She went on to inform me that she was working with a major Telecoms company in Abuja and that was the last favor she got from Chief Agbabiaka. Things had gone sour between them after Chief found a younger girl while Deola was away for Youth Service.
“It happened so fast
I was only gone for about a month
I still believe the girl “jazzed” him (used voodoo on him)
How could chief switch just like that? It couldn’t have been ordinary
Well, I was somehow prepared for it…
It had always been a 50-50 thing as far as I was concerned
I just didn’t like the way it ended
I hate “elimination by substitution”…that’s why I hate Mathematics
It made me feel like a replaceable part
His friends that I thought could help talk to him also wanted to date meOne almost raped me inside his office, thank God for his secretary that barged in because of an emergency…I felt like a cheap, road-side prostitute.
