THE TEARS OF A BABY-MAMA - Episode 6

I slept off singing only to wake up about 2am to discover that NEPA has restored power. But naija sef with light Wahala. Its just too much. I tried to sleep again but couldn't. I picked up my fone to browse just to forget about her story but how could I forget someone like her? It wasn't easy.

The moment I went on Facebook I saw her status updated with the following words.." FIGHTING ALL ALONE...TRUE FRIENDS ARE RARE".
Immediately I knew it was because of me. I sent her a blank SMS and she quickly replied and asked why. I said,its blank because I'm short of words.

In the morning at about 10am I went to her house to see her. I got there and found her crying. I told her to wipe her tears because I'm ready to listen to her. She tried to smile but her eyes were swollen.

"Oya,gist me what happen joor",I said jokingly. She requested to take her bath first. While she went into the bathroom Daniel Bedingfield  " IF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE" hit me hard and I didn't know when I sang it out...

"If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I'll never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?"

I was still singing with my eyes closed and didn't realise she was done bathing and here she's standing in front of me. She held my hands and with tears in her eyes she sang my favourite song in those days by TOSIN MARTINS, "OLOMI"..

" Olo mi, oni temi
Ore mi, ololufe
Oju kan o, sa lada ni
Lola Oluwa
Ko sohun ti o ya wa"

" I beg,I beg,I beg,stop and gist me", I said to her because I know wetin dey my mind. I really want to know how the thing happen.
And she began..I went to visit James. He served me a glass of juice....
