AFTER ALL THESE YEARS Episode 5

A year later, we are actually in our final year. We heard a shocking news. The news is on tv, radio, everywhere. A particular hospital was raided by the police, report got to them that the owner of the hospital is fetish.

He uses pregnant women for rituals. Especially those that came for abortion, He uses both the fetus and mother for rituals. Many girls has been reported to die on his operating table. The news has already spread across the whole city.

Olu and I were shocked, this is the same hospital I almost entered to have an abortion.

No wonder you said your spirit did not agree with that hospital Olu said still in shock.

I would have been a victim too I said

I did not know where the tears came from, I cried. So God answered my prayer that day, I know He did not do it for me but He did it for my mother. The prayer I prayed for my mother who has served Him diligently with her whole heart was answered.

This is nothing but pure grace, indeed our grace differs I said to myself.

That very minute I made a promise that I will serve him all the rest of my life.

Everything went well between us, My love for him waxed stronger.

We both graduated with a first class. Olu was the second best overall student.

Months later, Went for service. We served in different states but things was going on smoothly between us.

Yes, we have everything all planned out, we are getting married once we are through with service and start working.

Is Olu really the guy for Adejoke. Did he even love her as much as he claim....
s.Well find out soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

After youth service I tried so hard to get a job but to no avail, then I resolved to teaching.

I got a teaching job in a private secondary school in Lagos where I was been paid #20,000 has salary. Luckily for me I had some students I coach privately. The school is trekable from my house, so I don’t get to use up all my salary on transport. Also because I stay with my parent, my feeding too was covered.

Olu got a job in a private firm where hes been paid #40,000 monthly salary. We still both search for better offer by applying for jobs online, with the hope of getting a bigger paying job. We plan to settle down when we get a better offer. All of a sudden, I noticed Olu stopped calling, unlike before when he calls at least twice a day.

I now do the calling, he act so cold on phone. I ask him what the problem was and he said its work, that he use to come back late and tired and just go straight to bed. I was worried sick, wandering what was going on because the Olu I use to know won’t go to bed without saying good night to me.

My house is very far from his, so I can only go to his place on weekends. I called one of the weekends to inform him that I’m coming and he said he now goes to work on Saturdays. Some weeks later, I got a call from him, I was surprised. Olu remembered me today. Maybe he has realized his mistakes I thought. So I picked the call.

Hello

"Hello, how are you

I’m good I replied

Babe! See I’m sorry for this past days have been very busy, work is hectic and I just hope you understand

I don’t understand, Olu you are not the only one working, why you allow your so called work to get in the way of our relationship is what I don’t get I stated.

See I’m very sorry.

Olu hear yourself, so you are so busy that you can’t make a 30secs call, I’m not even asking you to call but at least you should pick mine if you can’t make the call

Adejoke I know I’ve taken it too far but I promise to make it up to you he pleaded.

I couldn’t believe my ears, so he could apologize to me.  It’s OK, just promise you’ll always find time for us, even in your busy schedules.

I promise babe, are we good now

Yes we are I smiled. At last he has come back to his senses.

Can you come over on Saturday, I’ve missed you

Are you not going to work

No, I’m free this Saturday

He’s sudden change of attitude still baffles me, is he playing pranks on me or something I wondered.

Hello, are you still there his voice brought me out of reverie.

I’m here, I’ll come on Saturday

Good, that’s my girl. See you on Saturday then. I love you

He has hurt my feeling repeatedly, that I can’t even tell if I still love him or not.

I love you too i replied

I was at his place on Saturday. I cooked for him, he ate. After eating, he started making sexual advances at me.

Olu! I’m not here for this, what we need now is not se.x. I think we should talk

Talk about what again

Olu what do you take me for, a door mat

Where is that coming from now

We are drifting apart,I don’t know if you feel what I’m feeling

See there’s nothing to talk about we are fine

Before I could say jack, he was all over me. At first I did not respond, How will I sleep with someone who doesn’t treat me right or make me happy.
