(Read Episode 2 here)...the other end.
'Its a lie' Kathy gasped. No,its not possible, she wasn't ready. She had been giving so much attention to get relationship and she was sick sometime that semester too. She fell into a heap,memories of the past months playing in her head,she felt hot tears smart her face as they trickled down. She recorded her lowest GPA in school that semester, a 3.3 GPA. 'Adolf, loving you is so expensive' she muttered,when she saw her result. She cried nonstop that day,she had lost on both ends, low GPA and
no relationship. She and Adolf have broken up and made up 3times in barely 4months. 'Making up' here,meaning she going to meet him,him making excuse,then giving him false promises and breaking all the moment she returns to school. Yet,she can't even give a thought to being with any other person, not to talk of even trying out.
'Tela please come' Kathy said, puffing her mouth to prevent herself from sniffing. She didn't want Tela to know she was crying. But Tela heard the anguish in her voice. She became worried immediately, and hurriedly started getting ready to go see Kathy, a million thoughts running through her mind. After school, she and her best friend Kathy had been lucky enough to get posted to the same state for their NYSC,Rivers state. They were overjoyed,not only would they still be close,but they weren't posted to anywhere close to the distressed North. Their service year had been a swell one, Kathy is serving in a school in one of PH suburbs,while she is in a secondary school in PH,they had ample time to themselves and they rocked it to the fullest. What's more? Kathy finally got a steady relationship, she was almost jealous of it. Chuka is one sweet boyfriend, he doted on Kathy practically and Kathy couldn't help but forget Adolf. Chuka had hinted at Kathy's last birthday that he would soon make them formal. Tela is genuinely happy for her girlfriend, Kathy deserved happiness. After her failed relationship with Adolf, which she couldn't get over. Her many attempts at relationship had failed,always from her side, no one could replace Adolf, 'Tela there is no point, I can't be with anyone else' she would tell her after every break up. But,Chuka changed it all, 'but who wouldn't want Chuka' Tela thought out loud. Kathy had been happy in a long while, which is why the anguish in her voice is frightening Tela. What could it be? Kathy loved her family greatly, Tela silently prayed nothing has happened to Kathy's widowed mum and her siblings, Kathy would break down, she is too emotional. With these thoughts and more on her mind,she caught the next bus to Ahua and before long she was knocking impatiently on Kathy's door.
'Tela we broke up!' Kathy blurted out immediately she opened her door. She fell into Tela's arms crying, Tela led her into the room,still confused. She sat her down on her bed,sat beside her, held her and let her cry. Tela's brain started multiprocessing immediately, break up? How? Why? Chuka? She tried hard to contain all the questions running rampage in her head,waiting patiently for Kathy to calm down.
'Telaa! *mmhihihi*' Kathy started.
'Babe what happened? Why did Chuka break up with you?'
'Tee,it wasn't Chuka...'
'What???? Kathy do you mean...'
'Tee I dunno, but I can't ....'
'You can't what? What happened babe? Eh?'
'Calm down Tee,let me explain...'
'Okay, am calm'
'Chuka came to PH yesterday, I was surprised when he called that he was around, then I came to PH to see him and he proposed'
'Wow!!! He did?' Tela interrupted, unable to hide her excitement
'I rejected'
'Its a lie!!! You what?' Tela shouted, jumping to her feet, shoving Kathy off.
'Tee I can't...' Kathy continued crying again
'Why?' Tela demanded, staring angrily at her girlfriend
'Tee you know...I mean...what if....?'
'Kathy common!!! You are past this,Adolf? Oh my god'...Tela ranted. She couldn't believe her ears,what's Kathy saying.
'Babe listen to me, am your friend, I can't lie to you..Adolf doesn't dig you,he never did and never will. You know as much as I do that he likes slim girls and you are fat. He doesn't have one bit of feeling for you, even if you kill yourself for him, you will still be a guest at Adolf's wedding and never the bride. So my dear,sit down and count off your fingers how many good guys you have let go off, because of your illusionary hope that he would one day come back for real,then you will know the best way to advise yourself. I mean...what's your stress?Chuka is a man every girl would love to settle down with and he loves you like mad,seriously babe I think you are being stupid, you are not the first to love someone. Adolf moved on since, so move on...' Tela advised Kathy in a very bitter tone.
'You don't understand Tee...' But Tela wasn't listening anymore, she laid on the bed,facing the wall visibly upset with her friend's stupidity. Kathy continued crying, she knew she was being stupid, but couldn't help it. But,why marry someone when her heart is elsewhere? She didn't want that, she would only try that when Adolf marries someone else, not now. But Chuka didn't deserve this,she remembered Chuka's pained look when she rejected his ring, he didn't expect it. But its better than marrying him and loving another man from his home, Kathy thought. She knows she did the right thing.
'Tee, I know it will happen,a tomorrow will come when Adolf will walk back into my life and pop the question' Kathy muttered hopefully,half believing herself.
'But Kathy what if,just what if that tomorrow never comes?' Tela replied. Kathy broke into fresh tears.
