I saw her off to the bus stop again and didn’t leave her until a vehicle came around to pick her up. She waved me goodbye and I returned home
.
At about 20mins later, Cynthia called me
.
Cynthia: Femi u’re funny ooo. Tank you anyways for the money. I appreciate it
.
Me:u’re welcome. I hope I tried a little?
.
Cynthia: See I will tell you that one later. See there is a development ooo
.
Me: What development is that?
.
Cynthia: The friend I told u I was coming to see has travelled since yesterday. There is no one at home.
.
Me: Ha? Didn’t u call her before going there ni?
.
Cynthia: I did but her line has been saying number not available since yesterday but that has been the case most of the time. So I thought probably it’s a network issue. But nw, I am wrong
.
Me: Eeyah. What are we going to do now?
.
Cynthia: I already informed my mum that I won’t be coming home tonight. This may sound rather uncomfortable for you oo but seriously, there’s nowhere else to go except your place…if you don’t mind
.
Me: U’re free anytime, anyday. I hardly enter my second room let alone use it. You can come pass the night here and you’ll leave tomorrow
.
Cynthia: Ok. Thanks Femi.
.
Me: Welcome
.
I no go lie, body sweet me small. My third leg responded in hope of servicing. I rushed to the bus stop to go wait for her. While I await her arrival, the smell of Suya arrested my nose. I bought #300 Suya to keep my mouth a little busy like I Go Die will say
.
After 15mins of wait, my phone ranged. It is Cynthia. With her phone glued to her ear, she looked round that bus stop hoping to see anyone who looks like Femi. I walked up to her and a sigh of relief ensued
.
When we got home, she requested to take a shower. I gave all she needed to be comfortable. I vacated my room for her so she could sleep on my bed cos that was the only bed in that house. Since I hardly use the second room, the room remained virtually empty save some cartons of electronics in there. She asked why I vacated my room for her and I explained. She then offered to go sleep on the chair in the sitting room but I didn’t buy the idea.
