ERRONEOUS WAY TO LOVE pt18
voice, while Timi humbly knelt by her side
like a condemned servant.
I really was very shocked and stunned with
his confession, because even though he did
the right thing by saying the truth, it looked
that moment as if he just poured water over
a raging petrol fire.
I was very much at loss on what to do, and
in a vegetable state i was as i watched the
whole drama keenly. Mariam just looked
like someone who just saw a ghost by the
way her eyes blazed that moment.
I don’t doubt some folks who always argue
that sometimes “a sweet well told lie is
hundred times better than a bitter truth”.
The tensed up situation that morning was
enough to seal my belief.
“Baby it really doesn’t change who i am,
please don’t let it come between our love” i
heard Timi beg, but his effort only earned
him a dirty slap which sound echoed in my
room, leaving a huge lump in my throat.
“So you took me for granted all these
while? she barked like an angry wolf, while
Timi gently rubbed his left chin where the
hot slap landed. Surely that slap really was
so hot and terrifying. Only the force by
which it was delivered and the sound which
erupted from it was enough to deafen his
ear for months. Yet he still knelt humbly as
if the slap was nothing but a friendly pat.
“Oh what a man”
“Leave this room right now?” my friend
barked, pushing him backwards in a violent
manner. I instantly jumped up in his
defence,
“Girl you are taking this too far, chill nau” i
begged with a slightly raised tone, which
made her stare at me with a surprised look.
I wasn’t blind not to notice that my friend
was using her annoyance to abuse her
boyfriend, who probably thought he was
doing the right thing by calmly recieving
the whole tantrum thrown at him. I knew
Mariam clearly wasn’t with her mind and
was extremely blinded with fury, which left
me with no other choice than to intervene.
So you are now defending him abi??, how
am i sure you two aren’t into this together”
Mariam accused with an angry scowl,
“Oh Christ” i exclaimed….
“Timi please can you leave us alone” i
calmly asked Timi who looked at me
curiously,
“Don’t worry you will hear from us this
evening” i assured him with a faint smile.
He shrugged, stood up and left without
another word.
I instantly faced Mariam furiously with
hands on my waist after Timi had left.
“What was that outburst all about??, what
is even wrong with you, what has gotten
over you eeh??” i asked angrily, but she just
kept quiet and bit her lips,
“Please you should learn how to control
your anger, you are a girl, i won’t involve
myself in your problems again, for all i care
you can go pour kerosene on him and strike
a match-stick mtcheew” i barked before
lying down on my bed.
I really was very bitter and angry over her
annoying comment, which made me pour
out my whole mind to her without
reservation, even though i later regretted it
especially when i noticed the apology in her
eyes. She truly was in a sorry state but
such misguided comments are what i really
can never tolerate.
“I’m sorry” i heard her apologize moments
later. An apology which i knew took out
much effort from her,
“Sorry” is a word which really has the
capability of stopping fights, quarrels,
disputes and even wars, but it’s also a very
simple word which is very hard to say,
considering our pride, because it means
you accept being at fault.
“Common nah stop vexing, you know i
wasn’t myself when i made that comment
eeh” she pleaded and tickled me. I smiled
sat up and faced her.
“It’s okay lets forget about it” i muttered
with a smile, which made her hug me
gratefully. Truly Mariam really isn’t the
quarrelsome type and that also made our
friendship very strong as if we were sisters.
“What do you think i should do about
Timi?” i soon heard her ask,
“It all depends on you and how you still feel
about him” i replied,
“I still do love him even though i hate to
admit it, and i don’t know the reason i’m
still feeling this way, you know how much i
hate cultism and cultists” she poured out
with a coloured face,
“My dear love is a very strong feeling which
can’t be easily erased, moreover i just
noticed he is a nice guy, so maybe its your
destiny to change and led him towards the
right path, i can only advice you to be
careful and hold back a little portion of
your heart” i advised,
“Don’t you” she tried to argue, but i
instantly placed a finger on her lips,
“ssshhh, i know you didn’t sleep last night,
so lie down, sleep and think it over” i
advised like a nursery school teacher. She
shrugged and obeyed without another word.
I smiled, laid beside her, took a novel from
my travelling bag, began reading it, and
soon found myself in fantasy land. A land
of bright hopes where good dreams come
true.

“I’m going back to him” My dear friend said
to me, when she finally woke up around
4pm,
“That’s cool dear” i replied happily,
“But please you will follow me to his room”
she begged, i shrugged and accepted.
An hour later after freshening up, we walked
to Timi’s room together and knocked calmly
on his door.
He opened his door seconds later, breathed
deeply with hopeful eyes when he saw us,
while Mariam winked at me before hugging
him passionately. A very surprised
Timi held her tightly and thanked me with
his eyes.
I instantly turned and left for my room with
tears of joy, satisfaction and relief in my
eyes……
