Always Ready - S01 E23

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 23

I was in school that Thursday and all activities went on as usual. I’ve made up my mind that I was going to confront Timi to ask her if she knew anything about the attack.

It may look simple but to me its hell maybe because of the kind of person I am. Well let’s see how it goes.

Now its closing, Timi and I had gone to get the broom to sweep the classes as we had indulged in a day ago. Soon we are in the class sweeping and I gathered enough courage but I was still pessimistic about what the outcome will be when I suddenly hear a voice screaming

‘ask her now or never’ as I was still contemplating on how to go about it another voice came and said.

‘forget about this thing and enjoy what you want to enjoy’

Suddenly as I made to just forget about the situation the voice said again

‘Ask her now or never’. I just made up my mind and I called out her name ‘Timi’

Timi: Yes any problem?

‘Don’t do it’ the voice said again and immediately I lost confidence.

Me: i ju…..ju…just….

She didn’t lemme finish what I have to say before she started laughing.

Me: what’s amusing you?

Timi: you of course.

Me: what do you mean by that.

Timi:Enny let’s just finish this stuff and get the hell out of here.

That was how I lost the opportunity to ask her.

Later I gathered another courage which was far better than the previous one. This time I did not allow any voice to dictate for me positive or not.

Me: Timi! I want to ask you a question and I want a sincere answer.

Timi: Yes I’m all ears.

Me:Do you know really…..

she just placed her index finger on my lips without allowing me to finish what I have to say.

Timi: Yes I do.

On hearing this I thought she already knew what I want to say.

Timi:I love you from the bottom of my heart.

‘so she did not even know what I wanted to ask her’ I said within myself.

I tried to ask her again this time being more courageous.

Me:I know you do but that’s not what I want to ask.

Timi: okay I’m all ears.

but as I was about to ask when the VP came in and urged us to quickly finish the sweeping. so therefore I did not have the chance to ask her.

‘You are a dummy you dis guy’ Aunty Funke said after I had explained everything to her when I got home. For the first time I accepted that I’m a dummy bcos of that great opportunity that I lost.

Aunty Funke: to ask somebody simple question, you cannot but if its to bleep anything under my skirt you are number one.

Me: its not like that ooo.

Aunty Funke: Its like what? Anything you like say but I suspect that girl so make sure you ask her.

Me: Sure I will ask her.

The day went and now its Friday morning and I am preparing for school as soon as I was done i left immediately and I didn’t even bother to call Agatha along thou I forgot.

The day went by and it’s closing and we resumed our usual routine. Just then I gathered enough courage to ask her and she confessed to me that she plotted the attack to test my capability.

Me:What! what if those guys have killed me.

Timi: No its just that….

Me: just that you wanted them to break one of my leg

Timi: God forbid.. lemme explain…

Me: keep your explanation to yourself just don’t cross my path again if I’m coming and you cite me just branch because if you come closer I can kill you.

She tried to come closer and I gave her a slap that she can’t easily forget in her life and I left not even minding the penalty I’m incurring by not finishing the punishment for that day.

I went home with mixed feeling one part of me was happy and the other was angry.

Aunty Funke: You are my correct guy.

For the first time Aunty Funke praised me.

Me:I tell you now I be sharp guy. so anything for me as I don pass this test.

Aunty Funke: So you are indirectly telling me that you want to bleep me abi.

Me: no ooo haba why now.

As we were still chatting, my phone rang and it was Timi so I ignored the call until the 12th time when she gave up.Shortly after that, Aunty Funke’sphone rang also and it was the same Timi she picked up and places it on a hands free mode. the following conversation emerged.

Aunty Funke: Our wife what happen now since all these days you just forget us no more calling not even a flash.

Timi: I’m sorry ma I was busy this recent weeks that’s why.

Aunty Funke: Busy even on weekend that you can’t even visit. This one that you called hope I’m safe.

Timi:laughs Yes ma its just that I’ve been calling Enny’s number but he is not picking up so I called to know if he’s around.

Aunty Funke: Lemme check if he’s in his room hold on. Enny!!! I don’t think he’s around but if he comes around I’ll tell him you called.

Timi: Thank you ma.

Aunty Funke: So when should we be expecting you again.

Timi: Maybe tomorrow or next.

Aunty Funke: OK no problem bye.

Timi:Bye my regards to Enny.

Me: why did you invite her? forming anger

Aunty Funke: Forget that one. no dull yourself but make sure you lock your door this time.

Me:what do you mean

Aunty Funke: stop pretending, what I mean is that you should bleep her and forget her, that will serve as a goodbye s-x.

We chat for some couple of minutes and she also gave me tips on how to bleep her (Timi) and forget about her.

I just wished Aunty Funke is a guy bcos with these advice she gives me, she does not seem to me as a girl.

Now its Saturday Timi had called Aunty Funke that she’ll come by 12pm.

kor kor kor

Aunty Funke: come in.

It was Timi.

I was in my room cos we had everything mapped out the previous day.
