Must Read: The Drummer Boy… Part 12. i was so surprise because such gesture was coming from Mercy which was kind of strange to me. i was use to one fact and that was checking the kitchen by myself and if a food is covered then its mine. While i sat there many thought ran through my head. Thoughts like why did she suddenly picked interest in me today? What does she even care about me? i know the thought might be that i am insensitive but when you experience somethings, your mind quickly changes and reality set in. Socretes was not wrong when he said appearance is different from reality. i quickly ran into the kitchen, took the food and started eating. While i ate in sadness for my unfavourable visit, i stole glances at mercy. I thought of joy leaving very soon for her youth service, i remember the intimate intimate feelings we have shared. While eating i heard Mercy voice soft, feminine and tender voice spoke out. Mercy: don’t you use water to eat? Its was then i understood that i didn’t even come with water. The question she asked brought back some past and present memories. Could this be friendship that she if offering me or what? The only thing i am so such of is if she brings her congo for me to shine, i will do justice and shine the congo very well. But i wasn’t too happy with her, i have not yet let down my defense because this might be a disguise. Before i get carried away with issues of present and reality let me reminisce a little. He sister that’s my uncles wife was a lady that everybody thought was cool, loving and caring because at that time everybody wanted him to settle down. Well one thing lead to another, she became pregnant and they got married. Then the real character started showing on her part. She became bossy, does things the way she likes, leave some house chores for the husband, drew a line and started acting up. Initially i thought maybe its just a normal thing, that the early pressure where on her or so, but later the pictures became clearer. Disobedient, anger, quarreling, malice and all other negative social vices set in. Somehow, i became afraid to marry and even till now, i seems not to understand people. Well, i have come to leave with the reality that people change. There is always a price to pay for disobedient most especially in marriage and in marriage issue, your spouse doesn’t deserve any negative treament because you end up hurting yourself at the end. Let me share one story that changed things and caused a deep scar in their heart till today. Its happened that one day, she came back from work and by then she was heavy, i think 6months plus and the husband had notified everybody that he has a wake keep of a dear brother for like a month plus and he kept reminding everybody. She was fully aware of the date but on that same date, she form anger, became so angry and started acting up. Suddenly she said she won’t be sleeping at home at that night, that she was going to her mums place to spend the night. We tried to discourage her from taking the decision but everything proved abortive. her friend even came around to discourage her from going, but her mind was made up or either he stays at home or she goes and there was nothing that could change that. In anger she prepared her own food without even bothering about us, ate while going her friends still persuaded her to change her mind that the husband was just staying outside for a night and its not like he sleep outside or so. But guess a mind that was made up was already made up. Then she left and not too long we heard the news. While we sat at home pondering on what to eat that night, a lady that was a close friend with my uncle rushed in and told him to quickly get on the bike, give him so money and asked him to go down to caterpillar that something terrible had just happened to the wife. There was no time to think or change clothes as he quickly jumped of the bike with his boxers and shirt. And quickly ran to the stop. After about 5min i closed the door, went with the friend to the spot where we were told the scene occurred. While we got there, people had gathered and started discussing the incident, i was interested in the discussion of some people as i went to join them. i was so scared because they way they had described the incident was horrible. While i was still contemplating on the incident, i heard a lady said ‘na that women wey get belle i pity o, i just pray make she survive ooooo’! My heart skipped and i started wondering the gravity of the accident. What must have happened, how, where and why, all this were the question i was asking myself when my phone rang and brought me back to reality. i check the caller it was joy that was calling while mercy had her eyes fixed on me. As she looked at me at interval. i spoke with Joy and she told me she will be leaving for school tomorrow and from there, she will go straight to her camp. i certainly knew i was going to miss her so much. i was going to miss her height, kisses, play, argument, s*x and crazy games we played together. Not too long she dropped, linda call came in, i got vexed and refused to pick her call. ¤¤WATCH OUT FOR PART 13 ¤¤
