EVEN YOUR BOO GET A BOO
EPISODE 9
.
I sat down on the bed, having no idea of what
next to do.
Different thoughts started running through my
head.
*like say i know, i for don go house on time
yesterday, na the useless konji wey hold me kon
cause this wahala* i said to myself.
I took my phone and dialled clara’s number but i
got a response saying my account balance is
low.
I quickly borrowed airtime from customer care,
since that was the only option left for me to
recharge my phone.
Dialling clara’s number again, i placed the phone
on my ear. The response i got made me froze
with shock.
Clara’s number is switched off, what do i do
now.
Not knowing who else to call, i dropped the
phone on the bed.
I headed straight towards the door and decided
to seek help from whoever i set my eyes on, i
turned the door knob and pulled the door
backwards.
The door didn’t open, it was locked.
At this junction, i could hear my heart beat.
I began to regret why i came to this party in the
first place.
I knew i had to get out of here, but i just
couldn’t figure a way out. Banging the door and
shouting for help may create a scene which am
sure the outcome will be so embarassing for me.
So in order not to make matter worse, i went
back and laid on the bed and started thinking of
the next step to take.
I took my phone and log into bbm to have a chat
with Jaga *the fool wey introduce me to clara*
Me: Jaga, u dey mad oh
i typed on the screen and sent it to him, i waited
for few minutes but there was no reply. I began
to look at the screen waiting for him to type a
message but i got frustrated after none came.
My stomach started rumbling and i began to feel
hunger pangs, it then occured to me that i
haven’t eaten anything since yesterday evening.
This was when i started raining abuses on the
two fool wey put me for this condition, which was no
other person but clara and jaga.
Then something caught my attention.
I stared at the display picture on jaga’s bbm
profile and it was a female picture i saw.
I began to think it was jaga’s new crush until i
viewed the picture and i was surprised at what i
saw.
Isn’t this clara’s picture? I asked myself
oh yeah it is definetely clara’s picture. I began
to wonder why jaga uploaded her picture on his
d.p
i checked his status and what i read made me
jump off from the bed, forgetting that i was
locked up.
This can’t be true
so clara is jaga’s ex-girlfriend *he kon dey lie for
me say clara na him cousin*
i was running out of battery so i quickly log out
of bbm, and kept my phone.
I must get out of here as soon as possible
before i die of hunger, i said to myself.
As minutes rolled by, i became more hungrier
and tired.
*next time again for my life, i go avoid party like
poison, dis 1 don teach me lesson* i said to myself
I was still lost in thoughts, until when i saw the
door flew open, and then clara walked in with a
smile on her face.
She was looking more sexier than ever, she wore a
mini skirt which brought out the curvy shape of
her hips, her bwests were *chai, see wetin i dey
imagine, instead of make i strangle this girl*
Clara: good morning dear.
Daniel: where the hell have u been, i said with
fury.
Clara: am sorry i left u here all alone, jay called
me to come over and i escorted him home. I
didn’t want you to leave without seeing me, that
was why i had to do it.
Daniel: so why was your phone switched off?
Clara: i had a flat battery, please am sorry now
you don’t have to react this way.
Daniel: sorry for yourself, where are my clothes?
Clara: i didn’t take your clothes, i left it in the
wardrobe for you, didn’t u checked there?
*i no even remember say wardrobe dey the
room, over thinking don format my memory*
I walked to where the wardrobe was and opened
it and i saw my clothes neatly arranged there.
Taking the clothes, i quickly wore it, she didn’t
say anything again, she just stood where she
was and watched me.
I will be on my way now, i told her.
Won’t u eat, i bought u snacks on my way
coming, she said, raising up a polythene bag she was
holding.
No am not hungry yet, i will prepare something
when i get home, i lied.
*i no fit spend anoda minute for this place*
alright, no problem she said.
We bade each other farewell and i took transport
back to where i live.
*****************************************
Immediately i got home, i took off my clothes
and ran to the kitchen to prepare something to
eat, i took out some noodles and put it in a pot
of boiling water. I went back to my room and
relax while i waited for the food to be ready.
Still couldn’t believe clara was once jaga’s boo.
My phone vibrated, i took it and check the
notification panel at the top screen and i saw bbm
icon which signified that i
have a message on bbm.
To be continued.

EPISODE 10
.
I opened my blackberry messenger and read the
message.
It was from Jaga.
Jaga: how far na, i find u come house yesterday,
u no dey around, where u go na?
Me: clara invite me come one party, na now i
just enta house sef.
Jaga: u go party since yesterday afternoon kon
come back by dis time, how u take waka now.
Me: jaga na long story oh, but just imagine am like
say na police detention i dey since yesterday.
Jaga: ah, but for u to sleep over, e mean say u
achieve something na.
*Not wanting to let him know i slept with clara, i
quickly changed the topic*
Me: jaga, e get something wey i wan discuss
with u.
Jaga: wetin be dat, hope say u neva give person
belle?
Me: no be dat one, i need money badly and i go
like make u help me with cash.
Jaga: if na dat one, u go wait till end of this
week. Make i see wetin i fit gather for u.
Me: okay now no wahala, at least u don try.
I began to percieve burnt smell coming from the
kitchen, which made me remembered the
noodles i was cooking.
I quickly stood up and ran into the kitchen with
speed, brought the pot down and put off the
stove.
I stared at the food and saw that it was partially
burnt, i had no choice but to eat it that way so
as to reduce the hunger pangs i was feeling.
I took a fork and emptied what was left of it into
a plate and carried it back to the room.
I dugged into the food and ate it hungrily not
minding the burnt taste.
Few minutes later, i was about rounding up when
i heard a sound from my door.
”kpon kpon kpon” it sounded again.
Who is there, i asked
its me Iya kola, the voice replied.
On hearing that, i recognised who she was.
Am coming just a minute, i answered.
I quickly stood up, packed what was left of the
food into the plate and went to drop it in the
kitchen.
*in case u guys never knew, iya kola is my next
door neighbour, she is like a second mother to
me and she in turn treats me as her son*
i rushed back to the room and opened the door
for her.
Good morning ma, i greeted.
Iya kola: how are you daniel?
Me: am fine ma, i replied offering her a seat.
Iya kola: hope all is well, its been a while u
know.
Me: yes ma, i heard u travelled.
Iya kola: oh yes i did, i just got back yesterday. I
checked on you but you were not at home, the
surprising thing was that u didnt come back
home until this morning, what happened?
*ye mogbe, i don enter am today*
Me: dats true ma, i went to church, we were
having a program, we finished late and i couldn’t
make it on time which made me slept in the
church.
Iya kola: hope u remembered me in your prayers.
Me: of course ma, why won’t i.
*see as i just package lies dey distribute for her,
please God forgive me*
Iya kola: it shall be well with you
Me: Amen, i answered.
Iya kola: here are the gifts i bought for you on
my way coming, she said extending a polythene
bag towards me.
Me: thank u very much, am grateful ma, i said
collecting it from her.
Iya kola: you are welcome. I will be on my way
now, let me go and prepare food for my husband,
she said while standing up.
Me: okay ma, please extend my greetings to
him.
Iya kola: i will, be a good boy and remember to
read your bible always.
Me: yes ma, i replied.
After she left, i quickly emptied all the contents
of what was inside the polythene bag on the
floor.
Hmmmmmmmm, bananas, i said peeling one of
them and started eating it.
At least this is much more better than the burnt
noodles i ate recently.
After eating to my fill, i emptied the peel into the
dust bin and went into the bathroom to take my
bath.
Few minutes later after coming out of the
bathroom, i got dress up. Having nothing else to
do, i laid on the bed and took a nap, awaiting the
next day which was sunday.
