==THE STORY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD== À Coolval22 production Episode 45: In the evening of same day, I packed a few personal effects I would be needing for a short stay in Aba. The next morning I took my bag and boarded an intra-city bus to Four-Corner Junction at Ozalla from where I was able to get a direct transit bus to Aba. I got to Aba after a stressful ride due to the then deplorable state of the Enugu- Aba-PortHarCourt express way especially from the Hausa settlement along the highway commonly referred to as Gariki. . I met the house empty when I got home. I moved into the house with my spare keys, took my bath and then called Ifeoma to inform her of my presence in town. She was ecstatic on hearing the good news. She wanted us to meet in the evening but I told her that I needed to rest my weary bones. She also suggested we meet the next day to which I, unfortunately, informed her that I would not be available due to the scheduled engagement with my dad. I promised her that I would surely make out time immediately I finished with what my dad needed of me. The ugly development brought little joy to her but she had no option than to accept it in good faith. The next day, tuesday, was quite hectic as I ran around with my dad in an attempt to execute all that was required. We were able to successfully finish all the tasks but not early enough. . I finally got to meet with Ifeoma on wednesday. She was radiating with beauty as usual. We met at Obohia by Ngwa road which served as our rendezvous. I had resolved to play cool in my greeting due to the public nature of the spot I stood but she literaly threw caution to the wind on sighting me as she ran all the way from a distance of about two electricity poles before she flew into the air and finally landed into my waiting arms. She hugged me so tight as if I was a loved one who had died and resurrected. The scene she created attracted a multiplicity of human optical and paparazzi which made me felt so shy. ”Daddy, I don miss you well well,” Ifeoma said while still clinging onto me with her arms wrapped around my neck. ”I miss you too dear… Errm, people are watching o,” I shyly replied her. ”Abeg, make them watch na… Abi them no get their own darling?” she asked as she freed herself from me and we both laughed. I took her by the hand as we walked along Ngwa road towards East direction. We continued chatting even though she did most of the talking while I intermittently stole glances at her. ”Nna nawao, so na me get this fine babe? Chei, na im be say I be big boy,” I proudly thought as we walked along. My phone rang just as we were about to make a turn into an eatery where I had purposed we relax. The caller was my immediate elder sister. She had learnt of my impromptu visit and so wished I come to her house. She pleaded I come immediately before what she had prepared for me gets cold and I gave her my word that am right on my way without thinking. . ”Are you leaving me so soon?” Ifeoma asked as soon as I finished with the call and that was when it occured to me that I had taken a cynical decision. I thought for a while on how to repair the potential damage my haste decision would cause. ”Baby, am not leaving you. As a matter of fact, two of us dey waka go my sister house together,” I dropped. ”Are you serious? Hope say she no go vex for you if she see me with you?” she asked with a low fearful tone. ”Aarrrh, not at all. She’s not like that,” I reassured her even though I still harboured my own fears because this my sister can pull surprises or should I say shocks.
