DIARY OF AN ADDICT - Episode 30

Kemi would call me everyday and I would give her various excuses until the day I ran out of excuse when she saw me in front of my house one early morning…#Gobe
.
When she saw me, she screamed,
.
Kemi: It’s a lie. Is my eyes deceiving me? Mr. Femi. Oga ooo (a Yoruba exclamatory expression for shock or surprise)
.
Shocked and short of words, I quickly thought about what my defense would be like. Well, I swallowed up my pride and just accepted
.
Me: Kemi I’m sorry please. Sorry I didn’t come to your shop as promised. I was truly busy. I just came outside to receive a call
.
Kemi: Ok ooo. Is this where you live?
.
Me: Ermmmm, yea
.
Kemi: Ok ooo. Now that I have known your house, I can decide to come anytime I choose to…and please, don’t lie to me that you’re not at home because it will hurt me. I missed seeing and talking to you
.
Me: Eeeyah. I’m so sorry. Don’t worry. Anytime you choose to come, just tell me; I’ll make sure I stay at home
.
Kemi: Alright. Thank you. Let me be on my way. Are you coming today then?
.
Me: Yes I will
.
She smiled when I affirmed my promise and walked away. I felt a little distraught cos she caught me unawares. Well, made up my mind to go see her without failing. The dilemma I now have is that she specifically said I’ll be coming to see her alone
.
How’s that gonna be possible with my friend’s shop in close proximity? Will go to Kemi’s shop without going to my friend’s shop first? I need to tell you guys that Kemi had told me over the phone that she had stopped talking to Samson since that day cause he was unrepentant and remorseless ever since
.
Also, he never stopped taunting her anytime she passes in front of his shop. Una don see wahala wey I don enter now? In the voice of one of the actors in the film, “The Transformers”, he exclaimed “…are you gonna pass up a bro for a ho?”, I guess that was what I am about to do: sacrifice going to see my good friend for a lady a barely know. Well sometimes, life can be that difficult; hence we’ve got choices and decisions to make every day of our lives. but deep down in my heart, I do not want to offend any of the party
.
So, I devised a plan
