Echoes Of Lost Love (part 1) by Nobody: 12:45pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
Tony was doing some laundry work when his phone rang. He hurried out of the laundry room in excitement. He seems to have been expecting his mom to call and tell him that she has credited his account but he was disappointed when he saw a strange number. He angrily dropped the phone,hissed and returned to work and didn’t care to know who the person was. His phone rang a second, third and fourth time, he didn’t pay attention to the phone, instead he was whistling as he enjoyed his washing. The phone continued to ring. By now he was getting impatient and wanted to know who the caller was. He picked and the voice that spoke out of the phone was his girlfriend’s. Lucy deliberately called him from a pay phone because she knew he would not pick any call from her own number. They’ve had a problem in their relationship for about two months. She is sad and depressed because Tony wouldn’t want to hear anything from her. The last message she received from Tony even made her sick. Tony expressed his displease about what she did to him and told her he really wants to break up with her. She cried for days and wished she hadn’t offended Tony. “But this offense is pardonable. Have I done the worst thing on earth? Tony must be joking o, Okay, let me keep to myself and see if he will come back to me.” She has said this to herself but it didn’t work. “Now, this is getting serious, I would have traveled to his station and work things out, maybe if he sees me, he will pardon me but I can’t. What excuse am I going to give to my mom? What if I get to him and he treats me like a pariah” She sobbed Immediately Tony picked the call, she was excited but at same time confused. She didn’t even know what to say to him. “Tony, I am glad you eventually….” Interrupted by Tony at the other end “Haven’t I warned you not to call me again? Okay, I see you don’t understand the message I have been passing across to you. I promise to make you understand today. For weeks now, I have spent more time wishing we had never met than wanting to make up with you. In fact I have moved on. I now have a new girlfriend. You should also move on. I don’t care about you.” Tony said angrily Lucy cuts in “But Tony I am sorry. I know I am not worth a second chance but please for God’s ….” Tony hissed at the other end, continued; “I don’t have a friend in you, I am comfortable with the male and female friends I have here. In fact, I have my family and that is enough. I don’t care about you. Don’t call me again. Get lost!” He hanged up the phone, Smiled and walked majestically to the laundry room and hurriedly rinsed the clothes he already washed, packed the ones he was yet to wash, dumped them in one corner of his room, entered his bathroom and took a shower. He hardly bathe for two minutes before he ran out of the bathroom, excited and dancing. “Wow, she called again. I can’t believe it. Yes! I love how I talked to her. Now she’ll know it is not good to toil with my feelings but what if…” A grimace immediately reflected in his facial expression. “…but what if she takes me serious already? I didn’t mean what I said o, I was just bluffing. I think I should stop hurting her and even myself. I really need this babe.” He picked his phone and stared at his screen saver for few seconds, he thought within himself. “What an innocent young lady, I love you more than life.” Now talking to the picture on his screen saver; “Lucy, I promise never to give up on you, I promise never to leave you for another daughter of Eve.” Tony won’t still call her and tell her he was sorry for talking to her in that manner. By now he is planning to play the so called game for three more days before he eventually make up with Lucy. “Nothing do me abeg. I will make her feel the pain for more days, then I will call and make up with her.” He grinned. Tony had planned to hang out with John and Victor later in the evening of that same day. These three guys are best friends. Call Victor the Ladies’ guy and adviser of women affairs, gentle and easy going. He wouldn’t even hurt an ant. John on the other hand doesn’t care about how anybody feels. He has boasted so many times that no lady can break his heart because his heart is made of stone. He was even the one that advised Tony to make sure that Lucy begs for a long time before he makes up with her. ******6:35PM****** The three friends were already together at a bar in an Hotel. Tony with a bottle of Farouz and a plate of roasted meat, Victor ordered Fanta and chicken and in front of John were three bottles of Goldberg. Two down and the third bottle was just a quarter full. They were making jocular vibes and laughing heartily. John and Victor came with their girl friends. It was then that Tony wished Lucy was there with him. He recalled how cool they used to be. The greatest wish he had for that moment was to hear Lucy’s voice over the phone and tell her how sorry he really felt and how much he had missed her. He didn’t know when he voiced out “Lucy, I have missed you.” Immediately John heard what Tony said, he laughed and started making jest of him. “Guy, you had better not kill yourself. Girls will come and girls will go but guys will always be guys. If that your babe loves you, let her prove it by coming here and end what she started. Abeg, no kill yourself for here o. Coward.” He laughed out loud again. The two ladies together with Victor yelled at John and persuaded Tony to call Lucy. Tony felt really bad but he pretended to be okay. “Nothing do me abeg. I just dey miss her but that one no mean sey I wan follow her talk.” He was afraid of being thought weak. Few minutes later, the friends departed ****9:30PM**** Tony lay on his mattress. He was busy with his phone, checking his photo gallery. He was checking through Lucy’s pictures. He has really missed her but he still wouldn’t call her and settle their differences. It was time to sleep. Tony switched off the bed-side lamp leaving only the colored bulb on. The room became dimmed and few minutes later, he was heard snoring heavily.
