Episode 9
Sade entered her room full of life and excitement and her roommate took notice of it.
âHmmm⊠I can see you are back to life now. You always feel more happy when ever you stay around or speak on phone with Kehinde compared with Kola. Donât you think destiny has brought him your way in order to deliver you from a troublesome marriage with Kola?â Her roommate asked, searching her eyes to know whether she is penetrating. Sade was quiet for a while before speaking up.
âItâs true am happy when am with Kehinde but am engaged to Kola already. Our families,the church and everyone knows we are engaged to be married latest,January next year. I canât leave him, we have come a long way. Besides, Kehinde is yet to make his intention known and I canât go and start forcing myself on him.. â Sade explained.
âStop talking nonsense. A broken courtship is better than a broken marriage. See, give this guy a try, i can see he loves you. You can still be in relationship with him and continue your courtship with Kola and nobody will know. That way, you can choose between them the person that love you moreâŠâ Her roommate suggested almost in a whisper.
âAh! Ah! Thatâs cheating. Donât say that again o.â Sade interrupted her sharply.
âLook, Kola was caring just like brother Kehinde when we started newly but changed along the line when I started refusing certain things he wanted me to be doing. This brother Kehinde is just trying to catch a prey first, once he catches his prey,he will also change like Kola. Thatâs men for you. I would rather stick to the devil I know than give an angel I donât know a try.â She said dismissively and handed her a bag of ice cream.
âKehinde bought this for youâ she said and began to undress.
â Mid term test is starting tomorrow, I canât wait for the midterm break so I can restâ she soliloquize.
Later in the night, Sade sat up on her reading table ruminating over her previous discussion with her roommate and she began to compare and contrast between Kola and Kehinde.
âI wish I met Kehinde before Kola.â She said silently âIf Kola was half as caring and understandable as Kehinde, I would have nothing to worry about but he is so full of himself⊠But what will people say if I break up with Kola? Ah! I donât want to be a topic on peopleâs lips â She thought worriedly within herself.
âBut my roommate is right, should I give Kehinde a try too? Ah! God help my heart, am not used to double lifestyle oâ she prayed under her breathe. The words of that pastorâs daughter that visited her roommate in the afternoon came flashing in her mind again and she began to give it a thought. After some minutes, she came to a conclusion not to break up with Kola and still maintain her friendship with Kehinde.
âAfter all, I already told him am engaged and he didnât seem to be bothered about itâ she concluded as she rested her head on the reading table,and from there she slept off.
Kola didnât call nor responded to Sadeâs calls all that week and the week after but Kehinde kept calling and checking on her to know how she was doing, so the friendship between them began to grow into a more intimate one because she enjoyed the spiritual contributions he made in her life each time they were together. Apart from the financial and material benefits she also enjoyed from him, he always talked her into going the extra miles to actualize her dreams and it was one of those motivational words that made her picked up her Masters form to further her studies and also began to put her songs together.
âSister Sade, you are gifted and you are spiritual too. You have the Holy Ghost on your inside and itâs obvious when ever you stand to minister in songs. Put the songs you have been receiving through inspiration together and release an album. God did not give you the gift of singing so that you will end up manifesting only in the church choir, the world needs to hear your voice. I donât see any difference between your voice and that of Sinach. Wake up and build your self, the world is waiting for your albums to bless them. Donât see yourself here, you are meant for the top. Donât think about how to get the money, just start working on them first; God who gave you those inspired songs will make provisions for the studio works and everything needed to be done. You have wasted time and divine resources enough, Sade itâs time to rise and buildâŠâ Kehinde spoke passionately to her and her bones caught fire so much that she went home that evening and started assembling all the songs she received and began to sing them one after the other, and began to work on them. She became very occupied with her job, working on her songs, and with Kehinde as he began to take her to the studio twice in a week so much that she forgot that Kola ever existed.
On one of their normal hang outs, Kehinde summoned the courage and asked Sade the relationship between her and Kola. She wasnât expecting the question, so her heart skipped and began to beat fast. She lowered her head sadly and after some minutes of silence, she gathered the courage and said,
âHeâs my fiancĂ©â she replied without looking up at him.
âWhat!â he shouted in surprised,
then tried to cover up his surprises.
âUhm⊠Sorry for the way I shouted. I mean, how come he treated you the way he did that day?â He queried but Sade was not ready to talk about Kola and how he treated her, so silence permeated the place. When he saw that she was not ready to talk about her relationship with Kola, he sighed and said.
âWell, Kola and I attended the same University,same fellowship and were in the same department on campus. He used to be very spiritual and was our prayer coordinator back then. I was just surprised he could handle someone that way, let alone the woman he claim to loveâ he explained.
âSometimes, i wonder why people keep loving people who donât care about their feelings and ignore those who love them genuinelyâ he told himself silently and Sade stared at him,unable to ask question in her mind.
When her roommate saw that she had gotten very intimate with Kehinde , she collected Koladeâs number from her phone and called him to inform him that Sade was seeing another manâŠ.
