Story Of Addition (Love Story) - Season 1 - Episode 77

I just kept staring at my brother. He started feeling uncomfortable with what I have to say. I know that there’s no how I could hit the target tomorrow; not even on the day I have a date with Adedoyin.

Me: (smiling) I would have loved to tell you that I won but it’s just a bet.

Brother Segun: so… did you nail her?

Me: no ooo… but I almost did….

Brother Segun: (excited) so tell me exactly what happened…. everything: bit by bit.

I took my time to explain everything to him without mixing any of the characters. He was very surprised that Bidemi could be so vicious with her innocent look. We were busy gisting about the whole issue when Funmilayo brought in my dinner. It’s Amala and ewedu. I wouldn’t have wished for a better food.

Brother Segun: (smiling) Funmilayo … so it’s
because Femi took you out today, is that why you are pampering him like this?

Funmilayo: (feeling shy) hanhan… big bros… don’t I use to bring food into your room?

Brother Segun: yes you do; but not in a complete package like this…. served him in a big tray with drinking water and washing hand basin.

Me: (smiling) bros… you better go and ask our parents to give birth to another girl.. so that you can have your own wife. don’t get jealous over my wife oooo.

We all laughed and cracked jokes over today’s event. It’s been long that we all sat down and have an open discussion. Brother Segun was really enjoying himself that his mouth slipped about the bet.

Brother Segun: (smiling) it means that if you don’t have your way with Ruka tomorrow… I win.

Me: (blinks at him) what bet? I don’t know what you are talking about?

Funmilayo: what bet Brother Segun? And what has Ruka got to do with this bet of yours?

Brother Segun: hem hem…. so Femi did not tell you anything about the bet?

Funmilayo was about to say something when Mummy entered the room. We greeted her.

All: (smiling) welcome ma….

Mummy: so what are we celebrating that you guys just have to keep to yourself today? Even you Funmilayo.

Funmilayo: (smiling) mummy, brother Femi
took me to KFC today after school.

Femi: hanhan… Iyawo…. do you have to tell mummy?

Mummy: (smiling) she has to… so that I can say thank you. but come to think of it…. that means that you dint have your home lessons today?

Me: (smiling) I did mummy… I begged Chidinma to close early today?

Mummy: okay… but you should have told me…. I
need to call Chidinma. she should at least call me when you made such request.

It took the help of Brother Segun to persuade her not to call her. we all discussed about the days event. Funmilayo explained her outing but
leaving the part of our friends. It’s now late.
Mummy left us and told Funmilayo should go to her bed after 10mins. Immediately mummy left, Funmilayo continued from where she left off.

Funmilayo: what is it about the bet?

Brother Segun: it’s nothing little sister…. we just made a bet that Ruka and Femi
relationship won’t last for two weeks. And guess what: it didn’t even last for a week.

Femi: (relieved) we will be back again…. I may have lost the bet but we will surely be back again.

We succeeded in making her believe what we wanted her to believe. She left for her room after kissing her brothers good night. It’s now me and Badoo.

Me: there’s still tomorrow…. the bet is on till tomorrow evening.

Brother Segun: (smiling) no need to worry
yourself…. it’s just laundry.

We were still discussing about Ruka; when Ruka called. I showed the phone to Badoo, who insisted that I picked. I picked and immediately put it on speakerphone: so as far Badoo to hear our conversation.

Me: (sober voice) hello Ruka… how are you
doing?

Ruka: (very low voice) how do you expect me to be doing? I loved you. I trusted you.

Me: (cuts her off) I’m sorry about everything that happened today. It’s not something that I planned.

Ruka: so you dint planned it… so she’s actually your girlfriend: but you told me you had no girlfriend. You guys are just the same; you such a lying bast*rd.

Me: you have every right to call me names…
I’m even ashame to call you since the event
of the day. There’s no point lying again.
Bidemi is actually my girlfriend but we were not on talking terms when I met you. I’m really ashamed of…..

Ruka: (crying) just stop it…. I have never been lucky with guys. Fatimo warned me about you and your brother; but I still took a risk to go out with you. I have never been ridiculed like today in my life. All because of what? I never deserved this from you.

Me: (sad) I’m sorry…I don’t know what to say… I’m sorry

Ruka: (crying continues) you are sorry… will that bring back my self esteem? I feel used and dumped. I feel like taking my life right now.
Femi… I hate you… I hate you.

I’m about to say something but she ended the call. I looked at Badoo’s face: who was actually moved. We stood there for minutes, sinking down what she said.

To Be Continued…
