Must Read: Adventures of Yejide - Season 1 - Episode 10

Later in the afternoon the next Sunday, Yejide
got another call from the same number
(Kelechi’s) in which she ignored. According to
her, she wasn’t ready to have a long
conversation of her explaining why she
couldn’t come to church. She also didn’t want
to seem rude so she thought that it was the
best thing to do. When the call ended, Kelechi
who had been calling Yejide dialed her
number again but he received no response so
he quit calling and went on to do other things.

He only hoped Yejide was okay. Kelechi was
to go see mama ejima the next day so
because he knew she lived in the same area
as Yejide, he decided to use the opportunity to
ask about her when he got there.

The next evening, Kelechi went over to see
mama ejima and as planned used the medium
to ask about Yejide a few minutes into their
conversation. Mama ejima said she hadn’t
seen Yejide in two days but she was sure she
was fine. They discussed a few other things
concerning their church before it was time for
Kelechi to leave. Mama ejima had gone back
in after following him to his car when another
car pulled up in front of where his was parked.

Kelechi was still standing outside but beside
his car when he saw Yejide step out of the car
in a very short revealing dress. Kelechi quickly
got into his car hoping that he hadn’t been
seen by Yejide. He watched as Eric, the guy
Yejide had been going out on dates with went
around to hug her. But before their hugging
session ended, Eric tapped Yejide on the butt
and Kelechi who was watching this raised an
eyebrow in surprise especially when she
smiled back at Eric. Kelechi couldn’t help but
feel hurt within him. It was after Eric had
driven off that Kelechi decided to step out. He
was going to leave before but he thought to
say something to Yejide before leaving. He got
out and called out to her before she could go
in through the gates. Yejide heard her name
and turned around to find Kelechi standing
beside her. She jolted back in shock because
she wasn’t expecting to see him.
“Are you following me?” she asked with her
face revealing anger and embarrassment.
“No I’m not Ye…sister Yejide. I came to see
mama ejima.”
“Oh okay. Once you enter, you will see her
house by the right. The second to the last
place is where she stays. Just knock, if she no
dey, Abigail go answer.”
“I have actually seen her. I just wanted to
greet you. I asked about you because I
couldn’t reach you yesterday.”
“Sir I’m fine. Something was wrong with my
phone yesterday.”
“Okay, I understand. Was that your…..” Kelechi
who was referring to Eric said without
completing his statement expecting her to
complete it.
“My what?” Yejide replied even though she
understood what he was trying to say.
“Never mind.” Kelechi said.

Kelechi who didn’t know what else to say to
Yejide bade her goodnight and watched as
she walked in through the gates. He prayed in
silence and asked God to give him the wisdom
to speak to her. He had felt in his heart that
Yejide needed to be introduced to God.
Something unusual was pulling him to her.

The first time he had seen her, he had
immediately found an interest in her. He felt
she needed help and wanted to do as much as
he could to help her. Kelechi went back home
that night with a heavy heart but as he got
home, he went on his knees and prayed to God
about it. He pleaded God to give him
understanding and the grace to be used to
reach out to Yejide.

After about two months since the last day
Yejide and Kelechi came in contact, Kelechi
picked up his phone and dialed Yejide’s
number. He hadn’t contacted her because he
believed that God knew why he told him not to
contact her until the last day of that month.
Yejide’s phone rang as she was just coming in
from her outing. She looked at the caller ID
and saw that the number wasn’t saved on her
phone neither did she recall a number like
that. She answered the call on the third ring
and found out that it was Kelechi. She rolled
her eyes immediately he introduced himself.

Kelechi went on to ask about her well being
and if she was okay. He also told Yeijde that
he wasn’t calling as a church worker but only
to greet her and know if she had been okay.

Yejide got angry and told him that she was
fine and didn’t need him to check up on her
but he responded by telling her that he only
wanted to be a friend even though Yejide
interpreted it as more than a friend. She yelled
at him to leave her alone because she was not
interested in him and already had a boyfriend
(Yejide had gotten into a relationship with
Eric a month before even though she was still
a prostitute). Kelechi who didn’t expect
Yejide’s rage or statement tried to get her to
understand that he was not looking for a
relationship because he already had a fiancé
was cut short when Yejide ended the call. He
tried calling her back but as expected she
ignored his calls. He sent her a text message
and apologized for getting her angry. In his
text message, he indicated that he was in a
relationship as well as he had a fiancé but
that he only wanted to be a friend and nothing
more. Of course Yejide didn’t think guys really
meant friends whenever they said so. She
thought that just like the other men she had
met, he meant more than just friends. She
didn’t reply the messages after she read them.

A week later, Kelechi called Yejide again and
this time Dupe was around her. When Yejide
saw the call and frowned her face, Dupe who
was seated beside her asked why she was
frowning. She showed her who was calling and
immediately Dupe collected the phone from
her and answered the call.
“Oga Kelechi abi na Kilishi, my friend say e no
want. She no like you. Make you leave am
alone. Wetin sef. Leave Yejide alone na.” And
with this, Dupe ended the call. Yejide smiled
and thanked Dupe when he didn’t call back
even though she felt a little guilty. Meanwhile
Kelechi back at home was becoming
frustrated. He knew that God had given him an
assignment concerning Yejide but he was
finding it hard to even have a conversation
with her. He prayed and asked God for his
help. The next day, something drastic
happened to Yejide. She got hit by a speeding
car when she was about to cross the road.
