Nolly: Kemi!!!
That yell… only made Shola stand up from where she was seated….
She went towards Nolly as Nolly looked at her…. With a very surprising look…
Shola: Hello…. Miss…. I’m Shola…. You’re Jide’s new girlfriend……
Nolly: Hello… sorry…do I know you?
Shola: I’m not sure if you’ve heard about me or anything…. Anyway I’m Shola…
Nolly: Oh well… Shola… nice meeting you… Kemi!!! She yelled again….
Kemi didn’t come out…. As Nolly went to her room to get her….
Me: Shola… what’s your problem?
Shola: Leave me…. And let me be…. Before I cast everything…
Me: What do you mean cast everything? Are you okay?
I moved closer to her…. As it was just the two of us in the parlor…
Shortly… Nolly came in with Kemi…
Shola: You didn’t tell me your name….
Nolly: I’m Nolly….
She went to where Shola was…. As both sat down… as close as they could
I could only watch…. As Shola dramatized how silly she was…
It was obvious…. The way she looked at me….
I could only have guessed what had happened as I tried watching TV and pretending to not know what was going on….
TV was getting boring…I went to my room….
I had no idea Nolly was following me….
Nolly: Are you okay?
Me: Yes… what are you guys talking about?
Nolly: Normal girl stuff… what else…
Me: Nolly… I need to tell you some things.
Nolly: Okay….
Me: You see Shola… like I said… she’s my ex-girlfriend…
Nolly: I know…
Me: And she had a baby for me Nolly…
Nolly: Okay you’ve a baby?
Me: I had a baby…with her…
Nolly: So where’s the baby? I can’t find any….
Me: The baby is dead… Nolly why are you talking like this?
Nolly: It’s okay Jide…
Me: No it’s not okay…. What’s on your mind now….
Nolly: I’m seriously okay. But remember I was raped… do you remember that at all?
Me: That happened very recently… it is impossible for it to leave my memory…. And I would prefer we don’t talk about it. It’s only going to affect me emotionally
Nolly: That’s true… we won’t talk about it again… not until we get back to SA
Me: What do you mean? You’re planning on informing your dad?
Nolly: My dad? Why won’t I inform him….*she started crying*
Me: There’s no point…. Babe, I know Shola wasn’t involved in this rape incident… let’s do this thing slowly…. I’m very confused now.
Nolly: Why’s she here? Don’t you get? By the time the she rots in jail.
Me: Baby…. Have you even taught of us? Our love? What we’ve for each other…. Shouldn’t I be even engrossed with hatred and irritation for you now? You’re not even thinking of that. I want us to just concentrate on us now.
It was quite obvious the lies weren’t going to last for long… and we were only prepared to face the music of all we’ve done…..
Me: Good morning Sir…
Doc: Jide, how’re you doing?
Me: I’m okay sir….
Doc: Can you come down to my office?
Me: Now?
Doc: I know it’s getting late…. But how soon can you make it?
Me: Tomorrow morning sir. Do you want me to come with Shola?
Doc: I would have told you. Anyway…. See you tomorrow.
As we spoke, we slept off…. On each other…. She slept on me.
I had no idea when Shola left the house…. My brain was down emotionally.
The morning came…. A sign of hope…. A future to behold….. The reminder I set for the doctor’s appointment came as a loud tone, also remembering us, Jesus was going to come soon…
Me: Baby, get off me…. Good morning…..
She shrugged…
Nolly: Good morning baby….
Me: I need to get to the doctor. It’s an urgent thing.
Nolly: But it’s still 6:30am…. Where are you rushing to?
Me: 6:30? I taught I was very late already…. Anyway, I’m late… there’s traffic and all.
Nolly: Okay, I’m coming with you.
Me: Let’s get ready.
We stood up from the bed….. She tried walking past me to get away from the room…. I tried to block her….. And kissed her……
Nolly: We’re late Jide…. Stop….common….
The thought of her been raped came up in my mind….. Not like I really wanted to do anything, but she rejected my advances…. I wasn’t experienced…. I blamed it on that, now.
We got ready…. I went to my mum’s room to inform her about the whole thing….
By 7, we were on the road…..
We got to the doctor hospital around 8:30, there was some crazy traffic, which was of course expected…..
The hospital was still scanty….. We had to wait for the doctor, who didn’t arrive until about 10.
As he walked in, he spotted me…. And ushered me to his office, with him…
We sat in his office…. He wasn’t as of yet balanced, as he came in and went out in very short intervals….
Finally, he had our time….
Doctor: Good morning Jide… sorry, there were a number of patients I needed to attend to…. How are you?
Me: I’m okay sir… Please meet Nolly… Nolly, meet the doctor… I’ve been talking about…
Nolly: Good morning sir…. And nice meeting you….
Doctor: So who is Nolly?
Me: She’s my fiancé…
Doctor: Okay, I understand…. Anyway, Nolly you’ll have to excuse us….. We want to have a man to man talk….
Nolly: Okay….for how long? Anyway, I’ll be outside.
As the doctor heard the door close…..
Doctor: Jide, there’s a problem…. And more so, you’ve not paid for the burial of the baby? But that’s not the case now….
Me: Okay sir…. I’ll pay that before leaving here…
Doctor: Jide……
Me: Yes sir…. *as my heart started pounding* I was making very wild guesses about what was to happen….
Doctor: You see, there’s something about Shola….
Me: Okay….
Doctor: You see, we found out that what killed the baby, wasn’t really the stress she went through…. There’s more to that…. Shola is a cancer patient… and as at now…. It is just too late for us to do anything… she has Myeloma…
Me: Sir…. I’m confused…. She has cancer? She has Myeloma? Which does she have?
Doctor: Calm down Jide… I’ll explain to you…. Myeloma is a type of cancer… it is a cancer of the plasma cells…
Me: How did she get it sir…. Quickly, I tried to get my phone to do some research on it…
Doctor: That’s not the issue now Jide…. Shola isn’t going to survive this disease…. She’s been enduring it for close to five years…. Her immune system has fought but the whole thing is sick now…. She’s a really strong woman….
I didn’t know when tears started rolling down my eyes…. I cried, the doctor tried to calm me, my eyes turned red and sore…. Somehow, I felt, if I hadn’t been in her life, she wouldn’t have had any problem…. And everything would have been okay for her….
Doctor: Jide, it’s okay….
Me: How long does she have?
Doctor: Let’s say two months…. But please, don’t mention anything to her…. It could kill her even before then.
Me: I’ve to let at least, her parents know.
Doctor: Jide, I would be talking to you later….
He escorted me outside, by this time, the reception was full.
Nolly ran to me, as she saw my hands wiping away tears from my face….
Before asking anything, she escorted me out first….
And when we got inside the car….
Me: Shola has cancer. She has two months to live….
Till we got home, Nolly didn’t mention a single world….
I had no clue of what was going through her mind….
In the last months, I was determined to give the best I could ever give…to any woman.
Although, I was to resume in two weeks…. Things had to still work out in my way.
I pressed the horn to announce my arrival….
My sister came to get the gate….
I drove in and got down..
Me: What about mummy?
Kemi: She’s not home…. You don’t expect to meet her at home now….
Me: What about dad?
Kemi: What’s wrong with you? Anyway, I think he travelled….
I got inside, and called Nolly to my room….
Me: What’s on your mind?
Nolly: What’s on your own mind? I was about asking?
Me: I’m confused…. Baby, I need to serve Shola at this stages…. She was my first love…. She introduced me to everything I know about love today….
Nolly: Don’t continue…. Hold it on there…. I understand…. How do you expect me to take it? It’s like you’re legally going to cheat on me…. In fact, that’s what you want to do… I can’t take that Jide…. I can’t.
Me: It’s okay….
Nolly: You’ll have to choose between me and Shola… I leave you that legitimacy Jide. There’s nothing more….
She left the room…. Into Kemi’s room she went.
I was at a crossroad…. I slept for like 30minutes… I called Shola…
Me: Baby… where are you?
Shola: Baby? Ahnahn, where’s that coming from? Anyway I’m in school… where else?
Me: Common…. Aren’t you my baby… I’m going to school in two weeks….
Shola: I know that already…. Safe journey…..
It was obvious she didn’t know what was at stake….
After the call, I went to her mum’s place to inform her about everything….
I knocked on the gate only to receive a silent answer….
After about 5 seconds, the gate opened…
It was her mum…
Mums: ah Jide…. How are you? Ahn, this one that we saw you unexpectedly….
Me: Good evening ma…. No nothing….
She ushered me in…..
I wasn’t going to waste anytime….
I dropped the news like it was a bomb…. And her reaction told me I should get some manners in dropping bad news….
That evening, I got my shirt torn… like I was a thief caught in the market…
Dragged out of the house, I was a public figure instantly…
There were on lookers from the North to the South to the East down to the West….
The area where I must have been regarded as a gentle figure….
I walked my first few steps…
I couldn’t behold the sight…
I walked in shame to the park before I could get a cab home….
Before I left Shola’s place, I told her mum to not mention anything…. For there was a risk of her getting killed even before the estimated time…
I got home and called Shola again.
Shola: Jide now….
Me: How are you feeling?
Shola: I’m okay….Jide you need to tell me what’s going on…. What’s wrong with you and Nolly?
Me: Nothing…. I’m just curious about you now…. You know they say memories last forever… they’re like pictures that remain stagnant in the heart.
Shola: Okay….. I don’t want us to go into detail again, I’ve been trying to forget everything…. And I’ve really been trying…. So don’t complicate the issue…. I’m
feeling sick though… but I’ve gone to the clinic, and it was malaria… so let’s say I’m on medications now….
Me: Can I come to your school now?
Shola: That won’t be a good idea Jide… I just told you I’m trying to get rid of those memories. Don’t contemplate anything please….
Me: Okay… it’s okay… I’ll call you later then… Take care Shola.
As I took the call before getting inside the house….
I was welcomed by my mum, Nolly and Kemi in the parlor.
Me: Evening….
Nolly: Where have you been…. I’m really tired, bored….
Me: Nolly, even with Kemi and my mum around….
She came over and hugged me….. Since no one was looking, I kissed her….. And smooched her Buttocks….
The groove was getting higher, we had to quickly separate…..
Still, everyone else was concentrating on the TV.
I dragged Nolly towards my room….
As she was giggling gently…
We opened the door slowly….
I looked back to check again….
There was an on looker…. Kemi watched…she’s always watching… she watched during Sholas’…
Nolly must have winked at her, because I caught her wink back.
We entered the room…
