MY DEAR CHIKODI (7) Godspower was so excited to have Chikodi sit before him. He couldn’t hide his excitement. After sitting for about five minutes, GodsPower urged Chikodi to accompany him to the attendant so they could order something to eat and drink. The pair returned to their seats carrying food and drinks. The moment they sat down, Godspower opened a discussion with Chikodi. GodsPower: Chi nwa, kedu? Chikodi: My name is not Chi nwa. My name is Chikodi. GodsPower: Okay, I won’t call you Chi nwa again. So kedu now? Chikodi: I’m fine GodsPower: Thank God. Has anybody told you how beautiful you are? See your nose, see your mouth, and see how you smile. Have you asked your parents the day they gave birth to you? I swear, you were born on Sunday. I am telling you. Have you asked them? In fact take my phone and call your mother; I loaded Etisalat of 1000 before I came here. Chikodi: Don’t worry. Eat your food first. GodsPower: No, no, no o; don’t bother yourself about me. At all! Food is not important now. How can I face food when I have something more than food before me. Chikodi: What is more important than food? GodsPower: You nah! You don’t know how much you mean to me. You are more important than food to me o. Ahh! You don’t even understand. If you agree for me, I am sure I can’t eat more than once a day. Chikodi: Hmmm..You want me to believe that? GodsPower: True to God who made me and you; if Chikodi becomes mine like this, Piam . Oh Chineke ee. You don’t know me o! I can stay hungry for you. Chikodi could not hold it anymore; she burst out laughing. Chikodi: Is that how you toast women? GodsPower: Calm down Chi, I have not even started toasting you. I am just in the preamble. By the time I enter Genesis, you head will be spinning o. I am just taking it easy on you. The last time I toasted a woman, she called me to say she had serious headache when she got home. I don’t want that to happen to you. So, I am taking it slowly with you. Chikodi: Are you sure? GodsPower: I tell you. Don’t play with my toasting ability o. If there is something that God blessed me with plenty, it is the ability to toast women. Chikodi: Please be fast I want to go home. GodsPower: Gini? Now, now? Chikodi: I told you I won’t spend much time GodsPower: Nne, biko, give me one hour more. I haven’t even told you why we came. Chikodi: No o. I will give you thirty minutes. Say whatever you want to say in thirty minutes. GodsPower: Hmmm… The time is too short o. What I want to tell you is something I don’t like rushing so that you can enjoy the whole thing. Chikodi: Start o, I want to go home. Godspower: Chi, from my bottomless heart; I want to declare that I love you so much. I really do. Like I told you in one of my letters; the moment I saw you, I knew you are my missing bone. Please Nne, I want you to be mine and mine alone. Biko. Chikodi: Yours; how? Make your point clear. GodsPower: I want to marry you. If you agree, it will happen like film trick to you. Before you know it, you will become Mrs. GodsPower Akachukwu. Please! Biko! Chikodi: Okay. I have heard you, I will think about it. Chikodi stood up and stretched. Chikodi: Thank you for the food and drinks GodsPower: Don’t mention it. This is just what I call a tip of the iceberg. When you say yes to me, you will enjoy me, GodsPower Akachukwu. Chikodi: Okay. Thank you. GodsPower: Let me drop you now? Chikodi: No. Thank you. GodsPower: Are you ashamed of me; why do you keep saying no? Chikodi: Okay, I will stop at Cele Bus stop. GodsPower: Now, you are talking The two entered the jeep and GodsPower sped off.
