*Episode 29*

I and Anabel settled down inside my room. She helped me to removed my shirt she wanted to remove the trouser but i told her not to worry that i will do that to myself. She remove the singlet that i wore and take them to the bathroom to wash. 

Minutes later, after washing the blood stain shirt and the singlet. She went into the kitchen and made jollof rice for us. We ate together silently. After eaten, she wanted to help me and bath. Aaah this girl self.(wetin she won see self). I refused and told her i will bath by myself. She pleaded again to help me that i’m hurt., but i still refused.

She stayed with me for another 30 minutes before she said.

ANABEL; Tobe, i want to go to my apartment to shower and catch some nap. I will see you later.

ME; Alright, thanks for the food and everything you did to me.

ANABEL; You are welcome once again i’m sorry for what James did to you. Please don’t fight him again to avoid more injury. That guy is crazy.

ME; Hmmm, please don’t remind me of that again before i will do something crazy. Is he not your boyfriend?. Look at who you called your boyfriend, a mad man with no brain.

ANABEL; *silent*

ME; No problem. I have heard you.

ANABEL; Thanks.

ME; That guy doesn't deserve you. You are a beautiful lady and you deserve guys that will respect and cherish you. Not that James of a boy, that smooker look at how he nearly embrass you at the public. Every woman needs respect from there guy but James own is vice-versa. Sorry to say this, I hate him now. If i may ask, do you love him or you are just keeping him for boyfriend sake?.(i asked her)

ANABEL; Tobe, i loved him before but with this his action, i’m afraid my relationship with him will have to go on a brake. James is always like this. I have given him more time to change. But he doesn’t wanna change. Don’t worry i know what to do.

ME; Hmmmm.

ANABEL; I have to go now, see you later and please take care of yourself for me please.

I nodded. She came closer to me and gave me a soft kiss on my lips, it lasted for like 5 seconds before she broke free from the kiss. I was very shocked and surprised at same time. I was looking at her.(mouth open) what did she just did?. I asked myself, she smiled at me and left the room without any other word. I was still thinking on what just happened. I couldn’t get an answer, then

I removed my trouser that i wore remaining only pant. I took my towel and left for the bathroom for a shower. The bath lasted for like 20 minutes. The bandage was still tying on my shoulder, after the shower i wore only the towel and came out from the bathroom. I went back inside my room. I looked up and saw no other person but Isabella laying on my bed, probably waiting for me. I was afraid to face her, coz she like asking questions which i’m not ready to answer. How long has she been here. When did she come in?(i was asking myself) I summon the courage to face her on whatever question she would ask. *heartbeating* I went closer to the bed and said.

ME; Hi Isabella, you are here.

ISABELLA; Yea i came in 15 minutes ago. You were bathing, so i decided to wait for you.

ME; Okay thanks. Eerm eerm. How are you.

ISABELLA; I’m not fine. Anabel had told me everything that happened to you. I’m sorry baby.

ME; *Surprised* What did she told you?.

ISABELLA; She said that some armed robber came into the restaurant and robbed when you guys were together but unfortunately you were among the people that were attacked and one of the robbers got you injured by stabbing you..Thank God that they didn’t kill you for me.

(Eeeeh, so Anabell can lie like this. Nawao, so James was the armed robber now abi or is she ashamed to tell her that i had another fight with her boyfriend. Anyway is good sha coz i don’t know how i would have tell her by myself. Bad girl).

ME; Yes o. They attacked us. But i was one of the victims that got hurt. But i’m getting better, thank you.

ISABELLA; Yea, but what were you guys doing at the restaurant together?. I called your line so many times, but you didn’t pick…

(What am i going to tell her. What i was doing with Anabel at the restaurant na.)

ME; I was strolling down to the restaurant to have some food coz i was hungry when i saw Anabel driving. She stopped and asked me were i was going. I told her, then she said lets go together coz she was hungry too. That was how we got to the restaurant. (i said with confident.)

ISABELLA; Hmmm, so Anabel have finally change for good. No more fighting between you guys. Well that is good shaa, but i’m still surprise for her sudden change on you.

ME; Me too. I’m surprise o.

ISABELLA; I missed you Tobe. *she stood up from the bed and came closer to me.

ME; I missed you too.

I was still with the towel. She was staring at my body, the next thing was her lips locked up with mine. I was lost coz i didn’t expect that to happen. Her hand was all over my body. We kissed for some minutes before she pushed me on the bed. The towel that i wore made way for my angry erected D--k. She saw it and smile. Next thing she did was she went to the door and locked it very well. She came back smiling.

*Episode 28*

Two guys from the restaurant came and help me to Anabel’s car. The white shirt that i wore instantly turn to red because of the much blood that was oozing out from the wound. The pain was much. All i could do was to moan in pain.
Anabel drove as fast as she could to a near by chemist for the treatment. Dear is okay, you will be fine. I’m taking you to a nearby chemist were they will help us treat the would. I pray the wound won’t be deep.*she said to me* She help me inside the chemist.
Immediately we got inside, without wasting much time, she explain what happened to me to the person. They started the treatment.
I was just enduring the pain all alone. Anabel was giving me the eyes of, i’m sorry..
45 minutes later. They were done with the treatment.
Sister are you through with the treatment.(Anabel asked the young lady that attended to me).
LADY; Yes, i’m almost through. Thank God that the wound wasn’t that deep as i thought earlier, otherwise it would had been worst.
She gave me some medication and instructed me on how to use it.
How much is your money. I asked for the first time since i came in.
#3,500. she replied.
I was only holding 3,000 naira. So i wanted to give her the money when Anabel brought out 4,000 naira from her purse and gave the lady. She asked her to keep the change (for her mind, big girl things).
She lead me inside the car again and we zoomed off again. *silently*.
After a long silent more than 20 minutes, she stopped the car away from the main road.
ME; *surprised* why did you stop the car.
ANABELL; Eerm Tobe.
ME; Yes, what is that. Why stopped the car?.
ANABEL; I’m very sorry for what James did to you. I apologise for everything that happened today. Thank you for standing by my side. I’m speechless on what to say. Thank you.
ME; Hmmmm.
She held my left shoulder, the particular place that i was stabbed. I couldn’t help but shouted in pain.
ME; Aaaaaaaaaarh. Anabel you have wound me.
ANABEL; (she removed her hand) Ooh, i’m sorry dear. I never knew that it was that place that you were hurt. Is it paining you?.
ME; (No in dey sweet me). Before nko. You don’t know that it’s hurt. *frown face*.
ANABELL; I’m sorry. *staring at me*
ME; Please stop staring at me and start the car. I want to go home and rest. I had suffered enough today.
She paid deaf ear and was still staring at me which made me uncomfortable..
ME; Anabel what is it?.
ANABEL; Nothing.
ME; You are staring at me and you said nothing.
ANABEL; Eerm, you are handsome.
ME; (na you sabi) Thank you. Please can we go now?.
I wonder what my Isabella would be thinking why i didn’t pick her call, especially if she see the wound. I’m sure i have enough explanation to give to her.
Anabel didn’t say any other word. She started the car and we drove away.
Some minutes later, we drove inside the compound and she kill the car engine. We came down from the car.
I looked up lo and behold Isabella was walking closer to the car. My heart was beating faster for no just reason. Anabel was holding and leading me to my room. She didn’t even care at all. She came closer, we stopped and she saw Anabel holding me to herself. *her face change and she said*
ISABELLA; Hi sis. *frown face*
ANABEL; Hello Bella. What’s up.
ISABELLA; I’m fine.
She looked at my shoulder and saw the bandage that was on my shoulder and said.
ISABELLA; Tobe, what happened to you. Why the bandage..
ME; Ooh i was injured.
ISABELLA; OMG! what happened, how, who did this to you. Please talk to me. Let me take you to your room first.
She asked Anabel not to worry that she will take me to the room.
But Anabel declined saying she will take me by herself.
ANABEL; Don’t worry dear sis. I will take him by myself. *smiled*
Isabella was surprised and sad, that her sister was holding me. She felt jealousy
ANABEL; Dear lets go. She said to me.
I followed her to my room. I turn and saw Isabella looking at us, mouth open. She felt dejected and sad, that i didn’t greet her as usual. I too, i wasn’t happy to see her in sad mood. Anabel was smiling all through. But i gat no choice. I unlocked the door and Anabel came in. I look outside and Isabella was still staring at us almost in tears. I wanted to go and meet her, but i don’t want Anabell to know that there is something going on between me and her sister. So i concluded that i will see her later and tell her everything she need to know.
Thank God that we are finally home. Anabel said to me.

G.MAMA; My son, why do you want to go today. You know i was just been discharged from the hospital yesterday, so why do you want to leave me and go again? *she said almost in tears*.

ME; Uzoma, how you dey?.
UZOMA; My Tobe. I dey fine. Where are you going with your bag?.
ME; (i want to go and fetch firewood, idiot). I’m going bag to the city.
UZOMA; *sad face* Why do you want to leave me and go. Why you don’t like me. Am i not beautiful like those city girls?.(she asked almost in tears).
After hearing those words from her. I became speechless. Truly i wasn’t treating her right. She likes me alot no doubt. But i don’t have any feelings for her, it wasn’t my fault na.
ME; Uzoma see, i don’t hate you okay. You are a beautiful girl and i don’t know what to say again.
UZOMA; I love you Tobem. Please love me back na, biko.

She made to open her bag, but i held her hand.
ME; Don’t worry. Am fine maybe next time. I have to go now.
UZOMA; Okay, I love you Tobem. Bye bye.
She bade me good bye and left. I couldn’t help but stood and looked at her. Chai! poor girl.
I resume my journey to the park. I got to the motor park and boarded a bus. It took some minutes before the bus took off. Some hours later, i got to the city and 30 minutes later i was face to face with chief Simon’s large gate. Suddenly i became afraid to go inside. I just don’t know why. I stood at the gate for more than ten(10)minutes. Finally i gathered the courage to knock. I moved closer and knock, seconds later Jumbo opened the gate. He saw me and shouted my name loud. (wetin dey worry this guy na. Why shouting my name).
JUMBO; Chai! oga Tobe. Na you be this?.
ME; Noo, no be me. Na your papa ghost.
JUMBO; Oga Tobe, you funny o. Longest time, na now you dey come back? (mitcheew.why is it that we nigerians like asking funny questions. You see me coming in with my bag you still dey ask me na now you dey come back, nawao).

It was 7pm in the evening and Isabella not back yet.i was still relaxing when sleep came and took me away. It was a hard knock from the door that woke me up.
I wanted to ignore the knock but the person never gave up on knocking. I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and mouth. I came back and the person was still knocking. I went and unlock the door and here stood was my dear Isabella.
Immediately she saw she smiled and jump on me. (it is good to be strong o. otherwise i for fall down like….) I carried Isabella for some seconds before dropping her. (i no be John cena or Batista of WWE).
She held my lips and dropped a soft kiss on it.(chai! omo my brain scarter for the kiss. E don tey wey i kiss last na. So no be my fault. Her lips soft no be small.if she try the kissing again. I swear i’m ready to forget my G.mama name. lols).

ANABEL; Hi dear.
ME; How did you know my address. Who told you to come. I mean how and (she cut me in).
ANABEL; You ask a lot of question. Aren’t you happy to see me, or won’t you welcome me to your house?.
I got no choice than to ushered her to our poor home. I was still surprise to see Anabel of all people in my home, wonders shall never end indeed. God my life is in your hands o. I gave her one of our plastic chair to sit at the compound, coz no sitting room.
ME; Anabel, welcome to my poor home.

ANABEL; I’m okay but if you insist just get me water.
I went inside and fetch a glass of water for her. She drank and said.
ANABEL; Please Tobe, please take me to your room, the sun is much here.
My room ke! I stood for a while before leading to the room. Atleast i swept it this morning and is very neat. When we got in, i offered her the only plastic chair in my room but she refused. She preferred to sit on the bed coz is very soft. After she settled down on the bed.
ANABEL; You have a nice room here.(continue mocking me, this thing you called nice).
ME; Thanks. *straight face*
ANABEL; I know you are surprise to see me here. Aren't you?.
ME; Surprise is an understatement. I must say.
ANABEL; Yea i know. I came back yesterday and i couldn’t find you. I asked Isabella about you and she said you traveled down to the village. I was surprised coz you didn’t tell me that you were traveling. I wanted to see you again so i asked jumbo to give me your address. He did and today i decided to visit you and at same time to know your house.
ME; Hhmmm, thanks for coming. But did you tell Isabella that you were coming to visit me.(i pray she will say no, coz Isabella is the jealous type).
ANABEL; Why did you asked.(nothing) Anyway i didn’t tell her, not even my dad coz he won’t let me come. Any other question?.
ME; Hmmm.
ANABEL; So tell me. Where are your parents and siblings or are you leaving here alone?.
ME; My parents died long time ago and i have no siblings. I only stay here with my grand mama.
ANABELL; I’m very sorry for that. You never told me that your dad and mom are dead. What about your grandy.
ME; At the hospital. She is sick, that was why i came back. To take care of her.
ANABEL; Is a pity dear. I wish i could see her, but i wish her quick recovery.
ME; Thanks for your care and thanks for coming. Is my pleasure having you in my poor home.
ANABEL; Thanks. You know what?. I missed you. *smiling* (haa, missed me ke. When did that one start na, for how many days. Chai! I wish that Isabella was the one telling me i missed you).
ME; Really, thanks.
ANABELL; Aaah Tobe. You are not romantic o. Didn’t you miss me?. Anyway i got some new clothes for you.
She went inside her car and brought out a small bag. She came back and handed the bag over to me. I collected it and thank her.
ME; Thanks for the clothes. *fake smile*
ANABEL; You are welcome. I’m glad that you like them. *smiled*.
Some minutes later we became silent staring at each other. I wondering what was going on in her mind. Hope is not what am thinking o. I looked into her eyes and found out that Anabel is a damsel. She was beautiful was just a word. (I must tell, this girl fine no be small). She came very closer to me and held my hand and the same time she was looking into my eyes. (abeg make this girl no charm me o). She smiled at me and said.
ANABEL; Tobe please i’m very sorry the way i treated you earlier. I didn’t know what came over me then..forgive me. (she wanted to kneel down but i pulled her up).
ME; Please don’t kneel down for me. I’m not God, beside i have nothing against you. i forgive you, we are cool. *smiling* (is this truly the Anabel of all people that i use to know, begging me to forgive her. Haa i’m surprise o and afraid).
ANABEL; *smiling* thank you dear. I don’t know what has been happening to me. You are always on my mind. I think i like you Tobe.(no be only like.) Do you have a girl friend?.
ME; *yes your sister* Eerm not really. I mean yes.
ANABEL; *straight face* Who is she. I mean where is she leaving at. Do you love her?.
Many questions that i hate to answer. But before i could answer her, her phone started ringing. She excused herself to answer the call. After the call, she told me that she will be leaving now. She beg me to come back soon.bla bla bla. Finally she left, but what shocked me most was she peck me before leaving. I was asking myself, Tobe what was the meaning of that na?. I became afraid to go back to the city.

TWO DAYS LATER. My G.mama was discharged from the hospital. I paid the balance and the doctor gave her some medication and how she will take it.
Weekend finally came. I started preaparing for my journey back to the city.

*Episode 27*

Some minutes later, the waiter placed my order before me. To my surprise Anabel ordered the same thing with me. Hmmm see this Ajeboter girl wey they do as if she no dey swallow garri. She was consuming the food more than me self.
ME; *clear throat* Is like you like the food?.
ANABELL; Hmmm, not like that. I’m just managing it for eating sake. Eba isn’t my favourite.
ME; Hmmm. (pretender, eba isn’t your favourite but you have consume a plate of eba.).
ANABEL; What did you said?.
ME; Nothing.
ANABEL; I ordered it because of you. *smiling*.
ME; How?.
ANABEL; Never mind.
ME; *na you sabi*.
After the meal, we started gisting again. Ring ring ring.
My phone started ringing again for the second time and it was Isabella again. I didn’t pick the call.
ANABEL; Why don’t you answer your call. Who is that?.
ME; Never mind.
ANABEL; She was the one calling. Right?.
ME; *surprised* who?.
ANABEL; Your girlfriend na or are you denying her.
ME; Hmmmm.
ANABEL; You haven't told me about her. Who is she?.
ME; Eerm, you'r funny o.
ANABEL; So how am i funny?
ME; How did you know it was a girl that called me.
Before she could answer James from nowhere bang in. I was surprised to see him coz he was the last person i wish to see. Ever since we had that fight that i beat him black and blue, I haven't seen him again.
He came closer to our table and stood like a tiger ready to attack. I wasn’t afraid of him. If he try me again, i will still beat him again. Na one of those boys wey them use indomie and golden morn train. Although we might be in the same age, but but but anyway.
ANABEL; Hi James. How did you know that we are here?.
ME; *silent and staring at him*.
JAMES; Baby what are you doing here with this thing? *angry tone*.
ANABEL; Excuse me.
JAMES; *loud tone* i said what are you doing here with this village imbecile, in the same table.
ME; *still silent*
ANABEL; Baby take it easy okay. People are watching us.
JAMES; I won’t take it easy until you tell me what this smelly thing is doing here with you. Oh gosh.
I was boiling in anger gradually. This boy want to see the part two of the last beat i gave him last time. I won’t take the insult from him again.
ME; Please James or whatever you call your self. Enough of the insult.
JAMES; Oh what, you wanna fight me again right.
ME; I won’t fight you, rather i will beat you.
JAMES; I have no time for a fool like you. *spite out*.
JAMES; Anabel, i hope is not what i’m thinking.
ANABEL; And what are you thinking. *stood up*
JAMES; I hope you are not flirting with this village parasite here.
ANABEL; *frown face* excuse me James. When did that one start, eeh tell me. This is my privacy. I have my life to leave. You can’t come into my life and command me on what to do. I need privacy please. I’m sick and tired of all this nonsense. It won’t lead us to any where. Tobem here is my friend. Is it a crime to go out with him?.
JAMES; Anabel are you talking to me like that because of this animal here you call your friend?.
ANABEL; *silent staring at me*
JAMES; Don’t forget that you are my girlfriend.
ANABEL; I’m your girlfriend right? Then behave like a matured man for once. Stop following me everywhere i go.
JAMES; I can’t believe that you are talking to me this way, because of a common gardner.
ANABEL; Hmmm, you called him a gardner. But he is more than a gardner to me. So stop it.
ME; *how do she mean by that*.
JAMES; This is crazy. I’m taking you out from here right now. (he tried to pull her hand away).
ANABEL; Leave me alone. I’m not going anywhere with you. You are embarrassing me. *she shouted*.
JAMES; Is a lie. You must come with me or i will take you by force.
He was forcing her away from the restaurant. People gathered to watch the scene that was going on. Anabel was fighting to free herself from him, but her strength wasn’t enough. I couldn’t take it any longer. This James is really crazy, he don’t have respect for women. Is it force to follow him?. I stood up and went closer to them.
ME; James can’t you see she don’t wanna come with you. Leave her alone now.
JAMES; *laugh sarcastically* see who is talking.
ME; I said leave her alone.
JAMES; Or what, fool. What are you gonna do?. *still holding anabell*
Dis boy dey try me o. I went closer to them and with force i pulled Anabel away from him.(you want try).kpoaa! He gave me a blow on my jaw. I couldn’t endure the pain which made me to give him double blow on his jaw too. Immediately he fell down and groan in pain. I turn arround and saw Anabel on the floor. I went closer to her and held her hand.
ME; Are you okay?.
ANABEL; Yea am fine thanks. Watch your back.(she shouted).
I turn around, lo and behold James was very close to me holding a small knife. He raised his hand to stab me with the knife. I was fast enough to force back. But unfortunately the knife stab my left shoulder. Blood started oozing out. Immediately James dropped the knife and ran away. I feel down and moan in pain. Jesus!! Anabel shouted.
ANABEL; Please baby i’m sorry. She use her hand to cover the blood that was oozing out.
Please somebody should help us *she shouted*

The Village Gardner

*Episode 26*

After Isabella had left that night, i was very happy within me. She was truly inlove with me, no doubt. It was written all over her face. But what i don’t understand was what made her to bring herself so low to me. A whole millionaire's daughter falling inlove with nobody like me, a village illiterate, a gardner, though i’m handsome (i fine small, no be moi moi. lols) i can’t tell. Love is blind indeed. But how will i raise enough money to take care of her, coz i hate girls to control me. Is abnormal to every guy. She told me not to worry about that, that she will take care of it. But still not normal. Well lets wait and see.
I slept peacefully that night. I woke up the following morning. I went to the bathroom and freshen up. Then i went to my garden work. I did alot of work that morning. Trimming and watering the flowers and so on. By 12pm i was done with the work.
Oga Tobe weldone o. Jumbo greeted.
ME; Aah Jumbo the jumbo. *i hail him*
JUMBO; Oga mi, good morning.
ME; Good morning Jumbo. How you dey na. How your tin dey?.
JUMBO; I dey fine o. My tin just dey. Hamathan don freeze am finish….lols.
ME; Hahahahaha. chai! I don die. Go put am near fire na.
JUMBO; Chai! na now i no say you no like me. How you wan make i put am near fire. The tin fit burn. Abeg i never marry o. hahahaha.
ME; I don hear you. So anything for me?.
JUMBO; Bros nothing dey o. But don’t worry, later we go go shark one one bottle.
ME; Dat is my guy. I trust you na….abeg i want go cook. Later we go see na.
JUMBO; Okay oga mi, later.
I left jumbo to my room to prepare something to eat.
Isabella has gone to her school earlier. Later in the day chief Simon called me to check how work was going.
C.SIMON; Tobe, how are you doin and how is work.?.
ME; I’m fine sir. Work is fine too.
C.SIMON; Alright, i called to inform you that i won’t be coming next week as i promise. I will spend extra one week, making it two weeks. So just as i told you earlier, take care of the compound.
ME; Okay sir. I will do just that sir. Take care sir, bye bye sir..(the line went off).
After the call, I called my Isabella’s number but it wasn’t reachable. I went to the garden to relax a little bit. I was relaxing when i suddenly fell asleep, all thanks to the fresh air. I woke up some minutes later, but i was shocked to found someone sitting beside me. A lady, i though it was Isabella. With a smile, i stood up to hug her.but i looked up and it wasn’t Isabella. Anabel. I called her. *surprised*.
ANABEL; Hi dear, you are awake.
ME; (no i’m still sleeping). I’m surprise to see you. How long have you been here?.
ANABEL; More than 20 minutes. You were sleeping when i got here. I don’t wanna disturb your sleep, so i decided to wait for you to wake up. *smiling*.
ME; *silent*
ANABEL; So tell me. How are you. Do you miss me.?.
