My life at thirty episode 15
As days turn to weeks, relationsh¡p between me and Aisha was waxing stronger, our relationsh¡p was definitely now something else, S£x is now normal between us. To say Aisha was a S£x addict was an understatement, she chew gum me everywhere i go and i had no breathing space for any other lady. Do i even have it in mind in having any lady?
She make sure we see each other virtually every day, hærdly a day goes by without we having S£x, it got to a stage that Ismaeel asked what i was into that was making me look lean. The thing was that i always find it difficult to reject her advances, my relationsh¡p with Aisha made me realized that i was weak emotionally. It opened my mind to the real me against the opposite S£x.
hærdly will i be with the opposite S£x without thinking of something bad, my thought would have gone far and started thinking about S£x even though there was no bodily contact but i find solace in Aisha over all time.
Days was going into weeks and our exam was fast approaching, the funniest thing was that anytime Ismaeel decided that he was not coming home, i will definitely invite Aisha over to my place to come and sleep over. It was my birthday like 3 weeks to my exam and Aisha presented me with a NEC3 flip phone including 128MB memory card.
I can never query where she get money from because she came from a wealthy family back in Lagos, her hostel was one of the costly most popular hostel around Tanke Oke-Odo, her room is very Behind to the standard.
My relationsh¡p definitely disturb my academic commitment, i was becoming a bit absence in MSSN tutorial class and for my class mate and junior ones, i totally stop giving them tutorials all courtesy of Aisha because she always want us to be together.
It was a week to our first semester 300level exam and my timetable shows that i will be having five papers the following week. Two papers on Monday, two on Wednesday and one on Friday. I told Aisha that preparation for our exam will definitely hinder our hanging out as we hang out a lot. She said she understand as our priority should always be our academics as relationsh¡p should be second.
It was the Sunday of a day to my first paper and my preparation was top notched, i realized i didn’t get to talk with Aisha on Saturday and have been trying her number since on Saturday and she wasn’t picking, it got to a stage that her number was not even going at all. I stopped reading around 2pm and decided to check up Aisha in her hostel even if for just 30minutes because have missed her a lot.
I got to her house, i knocked on her door with “salam aleikum”, what i heard was a male voice answering me with “wa aleikum salam” i thought it was one of our muslim brothers until i entered in,side and saw a guy putting on a track suit trouser and singlet, Aisha was not in,side the room.
My first instinct was maybe her brother came on a visit to her house until Aisha came in with a bump short and spaghetti top just like every other babe Ismaeel used to bring to our house. She was not even covering her hair at all
Aisha: salam aleikum brother Abdulrahman
Me: Wa aleikum salam (me, brother abdulrahman, when did that start? Maybe she’s scared of her brother)
Aisha: Please meet my fiancée Ibrahim……Ibrahim, this is brother Abdulrahman i always talk to you about
Ibrahim: Oh…the one that you said always org-nize tutorials
Aisha: yes…he has been so helpful to me please help me thank him very well
Ibrahim: Thanks for helping my wife brother Abdulrahman, Almighty Allah will be with you too
I was dumb and didn’t know what to say, it was as if i was dreaming or they were acting film until Ibrahim called her to come and join her on the food and started placing food in her mouth. My eyes was red already and filled with tears
Me: Thank you too…i just say i should check on you and ask about your preparation for your papers, bye bye…we will see in school tomorrow
Aisha: bye bye…am so sorry i can see you off, you can see that am not dressing properly to go outside
Me: No problem
I was already outside when i said no problem and i saw her coming to lock the door, i look back and i saw her looking at me from her door, tears started rolling down my cheek as i look at her.
Didnt know how i even got home, my eye was seriously red and i busted into tears immediately i stepped into my room and i could feel the anxiety on Ismaeel.
He started asking me series of questions, what happened to me? Why i was crying? Did anybody die? What was it that was making me cry?i couldn’t respond to any of his questions, he had to go and call Ezekiel, that one too started asking series of questions, the most annoying part was that Aminat coincidentally walked in and met me crying around 7pm
Aminat: What happened to Rahman..why is he crying?
Ismaeel: we don’t know ooo..he has been crying for the past two hours
Aminat: Did someone die for him
Ezekiel: we don’t know oo….even if someone died for him, it shouldn’t be up to this now, we have been asking him for the past 2 hours but he is just crying without saying anything..
Aminat: You guys should leave us alone, maybe he doesn’t want to talk to you guys ni
“Ezekiel and Ismaeel left the room and i was left with Aminat”
Aminat: What happened to you rahman? Please talk to me dear, you can talk to me…did anybody die for you?
“i shake my head to show that nobody died”
She asked so many questions which i nodded know to, then she drop the bombshell….
Aminat: I know what happened…Aisha disappointed you, she jilted you..tell me, what exactly happened between you guys? Did she call it quit?..Talk now, sincerely i don expect all these from you, a problem shared is half solved jare….
“Aminat used her hand to wipe away the tears on my face and i couldn’t even stop her, after pestering my life for so much then i busted out”
Me: Aisha is with another guy, i met a guy in her place that came from Lagos
Aminat: Ehn..ehn, what now happened?
Me: She introduced me to the guy as a brother who gives them tutorial and introduced the guy to me as her fiancée
Aminat: where was that?
Me: Just now..in her house, the guy is still in her house and am sure he has been around since yesterday and not going anytime soon
Aminat: Wow..this is serious but irrespective of that, you don’t need to feel disappointed like this, you are a man…If a lady leave you, its another lady you will marry now and if you kill yourself because of a lady, so many lady will pass by your grave and spit on you. Do you realize exam is coming and you need to be strong, not for yourself alone but for the people that always rely on you.
Another thing is for you never to show your weakness to people as they will mock you behind your back. Please brace yourself up abeg..do you have exam tomorrow?
Me: yes….
Amina: what time
Me: 8am and 3pm….
Amina: Then you need to take this out of your mind right now so that you can prepare for your exam Rahman…and mind you, you don’t need to let your friend know about all these as they will definitely mock you
Ismaeel: we don hear already..so na because of a lady you come here dey cry abi? These girls are not loyal now that is why am not in love with any one of them and i can never be in love with any
Ezekiel: If no be say this happen to someone close to me, i can never believe Alhaja’s used to do like that too
Amina: Make una shut up jare..no be all girls jhoor
Ismaeel: I hear you…so, she was using my brother as school boyfriend while she has a fiancée at home..what was even her gain there
Amina: academics of course because i don’t think they ever had S£x because even all the time she use to come here that have seen them, this door is always open so that people will be seeing them…sebi we dey always mock the now
Ezekiel: Abi ooo..the babe eff up no be small, but Alfa, all in all you need to take it out of your mind oooo
All of them tried to talk me through my predicament and i stopped crying after a while.
Amina tried a lot as she make sure i eat dinner before leaving our room. She left our place around past 9. Ismaeel said he was going to one of his course mate house to read for the following day exam as he also has paper for 8am.
I prayed later in the night seek for forgiveness from almighty Allah and even think maybe it was because of my fornication God punished me.
I tried to read later in the night but all i was reading was not even entering my head, didn’t know how i slept off around past eleven and woke up by 5am for morning prayer, i tried to see if i can still read something but it all prove abortive. That was how i went to school without reading anything till i went for the exam.
