I was awake the following morning on Sunday at 5a.m exactly by a very disturbing stomach upset so I had to rush to the toilet. I didn’t wait for so much time after I got out of the toilet before I dashed to the bathroom for my morning drill. I was already get set for church by 6a.m. just had to wait for my family members also to be ready. I checked my phone and I saw 7missed calls. 4missed calls from bidemi and the other 3missed calls from an unknown number. I know bidemi must have called me when she got back last night and her sister relayed my message to her but I couldn’t pick because I was far asleep. But the other strange number I wonder who the caller might be. I don’t want to make an early morning call so I decide that I will be seeing bidemi at church so it’s not necessary to call her again. And as for the other strange caller I decide to call the person back when I get back from church service. By 7am all my families were ready and we were set to go. We all entered inside my father’s new Prado jeep and badoo was the one that drive the car while I sat by his side in the front and Funmilayo sat with our parents at the back sit. Baddo drove the car to the church parking garage where he parked the car before we all got out of it. Immediately i stepped out of the car the first person i saw was bidemi accompany by her sister kikelomo. The two of them were rushing to our direction from the right side of the parking garage where the Adeboye’s parked their own car. They just arrived at the church as well that mean both our families just arrived at the same time. The look of the two sisters were so elegant. They both wore Ankara gown which is of the same type with their parents own. They look so beautiful in that dress with the little make ups they had on their face that i find it hard to take my eyes off them both at the same time. They both got to where we parked our car and greet my parents and my brother and sister before they resumed to greeting me. I greeted both of them warmly with a hug before I left with them both to the church after leaving my parents and baddo with funmilayo to exchange greetings with mummyk and their daddy. As we were going to the church I began to compliment their beauty.
Me: (smiling). You girls are looking so beautiful and gorgeous in these your Ankara dress o. your extraordinary beauty is what make you both unique and special to me
Kike&Bidemi: (both smiling and giggles) hmmmmm, thank you femi
Me: (smiling) you don’t have to thank me you know, because as am looking at you girls right now you are the most beautiful girls in this whole congregation
Kikelomo: (laughing) hmmmmn, femi you and this your sweet mouth, you are flattering us
Me: (smiling) you know I can’t ever flatter you my dear, you girls are too beautiful for that.
Kikelomo: (smiling) hmmmmn, femi you ain’t looking bad yourself. BIDEMI was just laughing as me and kikelomo continue the conversation until she suddenly butt into the middle of our discussion
Bidemi: (starring at me) Femi why didn’t you pick all my missed calls yesterday? I called you many times in the afternoon but you refused to pick and again in the night when I came back from where me and my mummy went to and kikelomo told me you called but she picked the calls for me; I called you back immediately but you still didn’t pick up.
Me: (sorry face) I am very sorry Bidemi, I already explained why I couldn’t pick your calls in the afternoon to your sister yesterday when I called you and I hope she has relayed my message to you; It was because I was very busy, my Dad asked me to ironed some clothes for him and i also have some other house chores to do. And I called you back immediately when I had the chance but you too couldn’t pick because you were also not available. And when you called back at night I was already sleeping.
Bidemi: (looking convinced). Okay, but I was just really missing you that yesterday and I want you to come over to our place because you promised to come when you came back from visiting chidinma with your mummy, by the way how is she doing, has she gotten better?. I never wanted to prolong our conversation to the extent where Chidinma’s name will be mentioned at all in the first place because I don’t want kikelomo to find out that Chidinma was sick and me and my mummy went to her place to greet her(which is even a lie) but immediately I heard Bidemi mentioned chidinma name in front of kikelomo I know things may actually go wrong, as a sharp guy that I am, I was already going to say something to curb the conversation from getting unnecessarily prolong before kikelomo cut me off.
Kikelomo: (sounding worried) what happened to my friend chidinma, femi? Bidemi didn’t allow me to answer before she gave a reply to her sister.
Bidemi: (facing Kikelomo) femi said she was very sick at home yesterday and that him and his mummy were going to her place to greet her.
Kikelomo: ( still sounding worried while starring at me). Femi is it true? What is wrong with my friend?. My heart beat has become so fast now, I wasn’t expecting the issue to expose like this. Am sure Kikelomo will definitely call chidinma to find out about everything and that may lead to a lot of trouble from chidinma if she finds out that I lied about her. I may be able to solve chidinma problem because I know how to handle her very well but if Bidemi should find out that everything I told her yesterday was just a lie am sure (wahala go happen o). I was about to reply Kikelomo but not really sure of what to tell her; either I should confirmed that she was truly very sick as I lied to Bidemi or come clean and tell both girls the truth before they find out elsewhere when suddenly one of the ushers interrupted our conversation. He ask us why we are standing outside when the service was already begun, he then directed us immediately to our sitting position as usual. I went to sit at my usal place and Bidemi came to sit beside me as she usually does but Kikelomo was directed to another place. My fast-beating heart has already came back to rest but keep hoping those girls won’t raise up the matter again. The service began in full and there was merriment in the church.
To Be Continued…
