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....

THE TEARS OF A BABY-MAMA - Episode 5

I felt I'm the man for her. And she's the woman for me. After the song,I went to take a shower. Right inside the bathroom i was thinking. How could she say she didn't know how she became pregnant? Who is responsible na? But Funke doesn't open her "London" any how like Ekaette na. At 29 she suppose to know who visited that department of her ministry. Suddenly i remember what a friend once told me that I'm wasting my time with Funke. That she will end up with another man. At that moment "YORI YORI" by Bracket came to my mine....
" Same thing, same thing wey dey make me feel like say you go be my wife Na the same thing wey been dey make others dey say I dey waste my time Na because I dey respect you girl, spending for you every night and day I dey pray for you, because of you I dey fly like butterfly, my love my love Chorus Ma love love, with you everything is well well Your love dey make my heart do yori yori Nobody can love you the way I do Am with you ma love love" I love her so much but now she is pregnant for someone else without knowing how. Is she another "Mary" in the Bible? Na wa oh! This matter don weaken my liver. "Where can i find a magistrate to illustrate or demonstrate how much I don dey frustrate? Who orchestrate and administrate this her pregnancy? I must castrate him because I no fit concentrate...I even try to prostrate to pray but I ended up laying straight like slate on the floor because I come dey depreciate. Right on the floor, instead of praying I was singing Michael Bolton's "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU" "I could hardly believe it When I heard the news today I had to come and get it straight from you They said you were leavin' Someone's swept your heart away From the look upon your face, I see it's true So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin' Then tell me one thing more before I go [Chorus:] Tell me how am I supposed to live without you Now that I've been lovin' you so long How am I supposed to live without you How am I supposed to carry on When all that I've been livin' for is gone"

THE TEARS OF A BABY-MAMA - Episode 4

I looked into her eyes filled with tears. Mine were as red as a new red wine inside a glass cup. I just didn't know what to say to her after singing "SWEAR IT AGAIN" by West life. All I told her was I needed some time alone."Please,can you leave my House?',she was shocked."Bonny,please don't do this to me". "No,I'm not. I just need some time alone to think and assimilate a few things". She got up after I promised to give her a call the next day. But as she headed for the door,"GOODBYE" by Celine Dion burst out from my mouth...

"Mamma You gave life to me Turned a baby into a lady Mamma All you had to offer Was the promise of a lifetime of love Now I know There is no other Love like a mother's love for her child And I know A love so complete Someday must leave Must say goodbye Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near Someday you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye" That night I couldn't sleep. A lot of thoughts racing through my mind. Here is my crush..a girl I wish was mine...one i desire so much more than warm sharwama and chilled yoghurt.. A girl I have spent thousands of hours imagining how I'm going to visit her "London,with or without a valid visa". I truly love Funke but she is so used to me and don't feel we should be lovers. We have known for 19yrs. I missed my dinner because of thinking. Series of songs came to my mind to calm me down but I ended up crying when I saw her pictures on social media. All I could do was burst out in tears again with "READY", sang by Adekunle Gold... "E bami wòmo o emi naa fe love o mofé love o I want to love o Am single and searching I want to date o mo ti ready o o I need a girl oh Wan ni kin shi Instagram pe ma romo tó shan mo n bawòn soro them no follow me back o Bella naija e calm down you dey make me jealous na so so pictures me sef dey find love o There is a man for every woman a woman for every man sebi naso naso dem talk e o nibo ni temí wa o".
