Story time.
It was a week to exam and as usual majority of students were nonchalant, the last minute pressure hadn't hit them yet. Not Esi and me though, our CGPAs were looking good and we intended to keep it that way. Esi is a beautiful intelligent woman and she...
It was a week to exam and as usual majority of students were nonchalant, the last minute pressure hadn't hit them yet. Not Esi and me though, our CGPAs were looking good and we intended to keep it that way. Esi is a beautiful intelligent woman and she...
...even made me join some of the school church groups. When I wasn't rehearsing with my poetry group, I was helping Esi pack and arrange the auditorium with the Protocol group.
We had developed quite a bond and I had been thinking of asking her out.

I informed my roommate P.K who was blasting music through his stereo that Esi was coming over for studies and I'd appreciate it if he cleaned up his part of the room.
"Eih you woman dey come erh, ebe so my guy!" he teased.
"Oh she no be my woman, we're just friends" I retorted.

"Oh she no be my woman, we're just friends" I retorted.
"Okay o. I hear bro" he responded as he started packing up. P.K was a man-whore but a very reasonable roommate. I gave him space for his shenanigans when need be and he also respected my demands. In our 2 years together we'd barely quarrelled. We had grown quite close.
P.K cleaned up pretty nicely, plugged in his earphones and slumped into his bed. A few moments later, I heard a knock at the door. "Joe, it's me Esi" the familiar voice I was waiting for stated.
I opened the door and let her in. I offered to take her bag and she obliged.

She waved at P.K on our way to the study table and he waved back half-heartedly probably chatting with one of his numerous women.
Esi and I made ourselves comfortable at the table and she brought out the study plan for the day. I was entranced by her...

... and had a conviction to her ask her to be my girlfriend after the study session.
We studied for about 2 hours, after which I was hungry and when I asked Esi she affirmed a similar status too. There was an indomie seller on our compound, so I decided to go place the order...

...then get back.
When I got there, I realized there were quite a number of people around which meant I had to both place the order and wait for it. I texted Esi and told her I'd be away for a while. After about 40 mins of waiting for the idomie it was finally ready.

I was really famished but I was more concerned about Esi. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, it was probably her. I checked and it was a message from P.K and when I opened it, I nearly fainted. It read:
"Bro, echeck like your paddy dey feel me o, you fit delay like some...
"Bro, echeck like your paddy dey feel me o, you fit delay like some...
...40 more mins? Check like some match go happen 
Ago flow you filla after"
My body began to go limp. This wasn't possible, not my Esi, not her. I stood stunned for about 5 mins.
Maybe it was a prank, I was going to check for myself. P.K better be joking.

When I got to our door, I was greeted by loud music escaping through the closed windows with curtains drawn.
The tears began to roll freely. I was utterly devastated. I went back downstairs to sit in the hostel waiting area. I was out of my body at that point.
My phone buzzed..

My phone buzzed..
... again. I checked and I realized I had about 6 unread messages from P.K and Esi.
I opened P.K's first, the latest read:
"Bro where you dey? I finish keep o. Check like she dey wedge you so say she go step".
I didn't even bother open Esi's. I got to our door once again...

...this time it was unlocked.
"Joe, what took you so long? I was concerned" Esi stood up from the study table. I noticed her disheveled hair, and new creases on her shirt.
Wow so she was just going to pretend nothing happened?
"I am so famished, were you able to get it?" ...

...she continued.
I set up her plate and watched her devour her plate of indomie while I barely touched mine.
"Are you okay, Joe?" she asked.
I forced a smile and nodded my head. I honestly didn't want to walk her back to her hostel anymore, I was too broken.

After she finished up. I informed her that I was a bit under the weather and so P.K would be walking her to her hostel.
"Aww, I hope you get better soon. I think it was the indomie, I don't feel too well too"
Oh yes, you Jezebel it was the indomie indeed,I thought in disgust.
