CLICK TO READ PREVIOUS EPISODE


It was different without Kola. It was like I was attached to him, we spoke every time, chatted all day long and video called when we had the chance to. Everyone made fun of me, but I paid no attention to the. My ring was 23 carat diamond and mummy felt it will be safer to keep it in the bank but I wanted to flaunt it.

It was exactly 3months and 3days after Kola left that my secretary called to tell me that I had a visitor and that she said she needed to see me urgently. I told her to let her in. I thought the visitor was one of those brides that booked late and expect me to work miracles until Ayomide walked in. This girl again! What did she want this time?

She sat down without even waiting for me to offer her a seat, how rude!

‘What do you want this time, Mide?’ I asked. I couldn’t stand her; she just looked evil to me and nothing more. I hated her and I didn’t understand why all of a sudden she was acting like she cared about me.

‘Damilola, I see you don’t want to listen to my warnings. I know we hate each other but I don’t want it to blow up in your face and everyone blames me. Let it be on record today that I warned you to stay away from him’. I felt disgusted; who did she think she was? For the fact that she even had Kola before I did made me hate her the more.

‘You may hate me and I don’t blame you. I have done nasty things in the past; I am not here to apologize...’

‘Good because I am not ready to forgive you’ I said interrupting her.

‘Damilola, this Kola is on drugs. Not the type of drugs you know. I mean drugs’

What has she said now that made sense to her? Not drugs but drugs?

‘Please get out of my office, I know what you want and I won’t let you have it. Kola Williams is mine and I don’t plan on losing him to you. So get out!’ I said sternly. I watched her get up and walk out the door.

I was not going to let Mide ruin this one for me. I had all I wanted, she wasn’t going to mess with my head and I wasn’t going to let her take Kola away from me.

I was furious; I called Ada and told her what happened. She sounded angry too, she wanted to match down to her house threatening to deal with her if she ever tried it again but I had to calm her down.

At some point I began to think of what Mide was trying to tell me. What if she was right? What if I was just blinded by love that I didn’t see the truth? I was getting confused.

I had to call Kola I was not at ease but he reassured me again that there was nothing. But something wasn’t right. I bowed my head and prayed to God, I prayed hard that whatever was wrong I would find out and not just make the worst decision in my life. I was very disturbed.

By the end of the day, I found myself more confused than I have ever been. I drove to Ada’s house. I explained how I felt to her and she said she felt the same way. I was honestly confused. We agreed that I’d call Mide and tell her to explain. We did and she agreed to meet us at Ada’s house.

She kept saying ‘Dami, I can’t say more than these but please be careful, I don’t want Kola. I don’t want to have anything to do with him again. I can’t say more than these’. God, I was scared. She was talking like her life was at stake.

I couldn’t go home that day, so I slept in Ada’s. I spoke to Kola that night and all the fear in me disappeared, we didn’t discuss the issue but somehow I felt safe with him again. By morning I was better, Ada, didn’t seem like she was. It was about me and I wasn’t really concerned about the way she felt. I still loved my Kola and there wasn’t anything wrong with Kola.

Ada was not a fan of Kola from that day, she kept reminding me of ‘Kola is on drugs’ but I didn’t pay attention to it. Even if he was, we were going to work on it I concluded.

It was 9months and 16days from the day Kola left, yes, I was counting days. It was going to be a good day for me because Kola was coming back. Finally I get to see my fiancé again. I was planning on surprising him and I planned on giving it to him that night. I needed help so I called Ada and another friend of mine Tola, both of them being experts.

We spent hours planning on how the night would go and all I wanted was for him to arrive already. First we went shopping; I had to get a lingerie, red was too cliché so I got it in silver. We got candles, roses, white bed sheets and finally I got food stuffs to cook for him. I was going to prepare his best meal, fried rice, chicken and salad. Then we got an apple to top it up.

I went to the beauty shop to get my hair and nails done. I had to look beautiful for Kola and I planned that the night would be perfect. I lied to mummy that I was spending the weekend at Ada’s so she would let me out of the house. I out did myself that day I wanted to make the night special for him. When was done and satisfied with what I did, I took my bath and dressed up waiting for my Kola to arrive.
