TEENAGE LOVE¤¤¤PART 2¤¤¤ ¤¤¤CHAPTER 9¤¤¤ SATURDAY MORNING. Segun was in his room listening to music from his mp3 player. He was humming to rythm of the song and dancing. There was a knock on the door. He stood up and met Mary at the door. Can i come in? Mary asked. Yeah. Segun replied stepping aside and opening the door wider for her. She walked in and sat down on the only available chair near his reading table. Bro, am not happy with you. she broke the silence. Why? he asked. Why are you treating your girlfriend this way? she asked. Girlfriend? he wondered. Yes, sister Jummy reported you to me. She said you no longer have time for her. Is that true? she asked. She told you all these? I know you are treating her bad because of that girl Nike. she said irritatedly. And what gave you the assurance that im seeing Nike? he asked. Never mind but just have it at the back of your mind that the law of karma will act very soon. she said and stood up. What has karma got to do with this? he asked. I know you wont want any guy to treat you daughter or even your sister the way you are treating Jummy. she said and left the room. Segun sat down and pondered over what Mary said and shook his head. No doubt, this people are working together against me. But wait o, i am not in love with Jummy now. he thought. Then ill have to iron things out with her. he said loudly as he stood up and headed to the bathroom. He came out a few minutes later and got dressed in a native attire and a black shoe to match. He hdaded out for a wedding ceremony he was invited to by one of his classmate. He met Jummy on the stairs coming up to meet him. Where to? she asked. Bunmis sisters wedding. he replied. Oh! Thats true. I was thinking we should go together. she said. Im sorry we cant go together. he said. But why? she asked. Because i dont want to be delayed. Infact i dont want to go with you. he said. Ah! she exclaimed. You must wait for her to that you two can go together. a voice thundered from the dining. As they both turned to look at the owner of the voice. They both turned their heads to see who the intruder was. Alas! It was their mother. You must go to that wedding together. she stressed. But why? segun asked. Who invited you? she asked. A classmate. Jummy cuts in sharply. Since its a classmate of yours, and you two are familiar with him/her. I guess, its more proper if you go together. Mrs Akinola said with a tone of finality. But mum...... Segun was saying before his mother cut him short. My daughter please go and dress up jare and stop looking at me that way. Mrs Akinola said. Segun seeing that he had been defeated walked dejectedly back to his room in order to wait for Jummy. Jummy re-emerged twenty minutes later dressed in a native attire the same as Seguns. Thats my beautiful daughter. Mrs Akinola complimented. Thanks mum. Jummy said. Segun walked out on hearing voice to check if Jummy was set. He stopped in his track and could not help but to admire the beauty before him. He was carried away to the extent that he didnt know when he whistled out in pleasure. Wont you compliment her looks? Mrs Akinola asked facing Segun. Shes not dressed to impress me. Segun replied and headed for the door. Jummy and his mother giggled and Jummy ran after Segun. They both walked to the bus/stop where theyll board a cab to the wedding reception(brights comprehensive college hall). Ten minutes later they were at the entrance and they need to be walked in by a guest who was already in. Segun brought out his phone and dialled Wilsons number. He requested him to come walk them in. Wilson came and walked them in. But i thought you said you wont buy the cloth? Jummy asked after exchanging pleasantries with Wilson. Yes, but my mum gave me the money to buy some yards for myself. he replied. They all walked to a table where members of the class were seated. They exchanged pleasantries and complimented their looks. Bunmi came and greeted them. Do you guys care for more foods and drinks? she asked. Yes. Chioma said. Igbo people too like food. Segun said as everyone at their table bursted into laughter. It was during the course of their laughter that Jummy mistakenly hit the table and a bottle of juice spilled over and it poured on Seguns cloth. --to be continued--
