Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

Things were running smoothly for me. I had my family with me and that’s the most important thing for me. I didn’t bother myself about Raymond and his constant demand of Kamsi’s picture which I always refused to send to him,neither did I bother myself about his constantly using his wife’s picture on his profile. Surprisingly,life became easy and comforting for me.

Kamsi and I took a picture together and I used it as my WhatsApp profile picture. That evening,I came home as usual and turned on my data. There was a message from Raymond;

Ray: Nice pix

Me: Thank you.

Ray: Guess what?

Me: What is it?

Ray: My wife just brought to my notice that she doesn’t look like me.

That message got to my head immediately and even without meeting whoever she was,I hated her that instant. Even if she wanted to make him stop gushing over Kamsi,it was not to bring it to my notice because I was sure she was there with him as he sent that. On several occasions,Raymond and I would be chatting normally and all of a sudden,he’ll start giving cold answers like we were beefing or something. I would always conclude that his wife was around him. But this time,I’m not going to let her break me or remind me about things I fought hard to forget.

Me: Really?

Ray: Yes

Me: That’s because she’s not yours.

There was a delay from his path. I guessed he was thrown back by my response. I blocked him on my WhatsApp and continued chatting with my other friends. I got a message on bbm and surprisingly,it was Raymond.

Ray: You know,I always had doubts about you while we were dating.

Me: Oh! Finally,she told you what to say.
No response…….

Me: Am glad you finally realised with the help of your wife that she is not yours. You want to be a father. Father indeed. The day you took my pride,you didn’t have doubts about that. Human being.

I made sure he read the message before blocking him on bbm as well. I prayed to God,to give me a husband who would stand on his words as a man and not someone like Raymond,who would do things he doesn’t want to do just to please his wife.

Some days later,he called me and as usual,we met at my house. He talked and talked and bottom line,we became cool. He told me about his new shop and I promised I was going to visit someday.

The day I visited his shop(somewhere at Tarzan),he was happy. He kept on dancing “efejoku” which made me laugh because he was trying so hard to be good at it. We talked and in the middle of our conversation,he kept on saying that he missed me. I told him I missed him as well. I asked him if he was happy and he nodded(who wouldn’t claim to be happy?). We spent sometime together,talking.

He told me how he had being having a crush on me when I was in primary two and he,in primary four. He reminded me about most of the things I did then and how he would always shy away each time I talked and he heard my voice. I couldn’t help but laugh. He finally dropped me at home and we bade each other goodbye.
