FOUR GIRLS, FOUR BOYS, ONE WEEKEND PART 1
.
‘No no and no, I can’t take it anymore, this
is so disgraceful, that bastard, can you
believe the way he treated me?’.
I sat there filing my nails, my feet tucked
under me as I listened to my friend rant on.
‘This time it’s over, I can’t continue like this,
I won’t go back to him!’
she declared. I tried not to smile but I
couldn’t hide it. ‘Sandra, why are you
smiling? I’m pouring out my heart to you and
you are just sitting there saying nothing!
Worst still you are smiling. Is this funny?
That my boyfriend is humiliating me around
town?’ She asked, ‘Ok Bimpe, calm down
and sit down’ I said. ‘No, I’m not sitting
down, I can’t sit down, I’m very angry’.
‘Girlfriend, please sit down, see, John is not
here and he can’t see how agitated you are,
it’s you and I here, so let’s talk girl to girl’ I
said, she eyed me and sat down. ‘Bimpe, we
live together and this is not the tenth time
you will be coming in crying wolf. I mean
this guy beats you, molest you, disrespect
you and then comes back and beg and you
go back to him. What’s your problem? Is
love that blind?’ I asked. ‘But I love him and
he loves me too’ she said. ‘Oh poor baby, do
I have to beat you too to make you see this
guy doesn’t give poo about you? Love is not
a do or die affair. You are pretty, intelligent,
hardworking and successful, you deserve
better my dear’, I told her.
She broke into tears and I went to hold her, ‘I
know I deserve better but I love him and I’m
scared to be alone’ she confessed sobbing. I
kept holding and soothing her. The door
opened and Koyin entered. ‘What’s going on
here, can I join the group hug because I
really need a very big hug right now?’ ‘John
slapped Bimpe in front of his friends today
because she hugged an old school mate who
was a guy’ I told her. ‘WHAT! That insecure
silly guy, we should have him arrested!’
Koyin said. ‘Let’s not do that, the good thing
is that our friend is not going back to him’ I
said, Koyin looked at me with raised
eyebrow. I shrugged and she looked at
Bimpe, questioning her with her eyes, Bimpe
answered the unasked question ‘I know I’ve
said this many times in the past but this time
its final’ she said with a straight face and
her chin set in a determined way. Then Koyin
gave us the shocker of the year. ‘Well, seems
today is a heart breaking day. Usman and I
broke up today.’ WHAT!!!’ Bimpe and I
echoed our eyes almost bulged out of their
sockets and our mouth dropped to our jaws.
We were surprised because Koyin had the
best boyfriend amongst us four friends.
Their relationship was perfect and they were
so happy together, so we though!. ‘What
happened?’, Sandra asked cleaning her own
tears.
‘Well, it seems our rose had its own thorn.
Actually we’ve been having problems for
three months now. His mother said we can’t
get married because I’m a Yoruba girl and
worst still I’m a Christian, and you all know
Usman is an Hausa man and a devoted
Muslim, so today, I went to his house after I
closed from work and I meet a young pretty
girl in his house, wearing the shirt I bought
for him last valentine. All the pictures we
took together were nowhere in sight and the
girl proudly told me she IS his fiancé and
she even had a ring to show for it’, she told
us and rested her back on the sofa and
looked up, a silent tear rolled down her left
eye. I stood up agitated ‘Please tell me you
killed the Naughty Lady or at least you gave
her the beating of her life?’ I asked. ‘No I
didn’t do anything to her; she and I had no
business together’. ‘Bleep! you are too
gentle, if I wa….’. The door opened again and
Amanda, our drama queen walked in ‘Sup
bitches, are you guys trying to un-friend me
or what’s the meeting about?’.
We all hissed and I said, ‘Can’t you read
moods or must you always be the center of
attention, can’t you see something is wrong
here?’ She dropped her bag on the floor and
searched our faces, ‘I’m sorry girls, so
what’s wrong?’ she asked and I told her.
‘poo! Bastards! I’m sorry to hear this but I’m
glad you are not going back to that fool
Bimpe, so what did Usman say when you
saw him?’, Amanda demanded. ‘Well, I called
him and told him I was at his house and I
saw a strange woman, that what’s going on
and he said he was sorry, he didn’t mean for
me to find out like that, that he couldn’t go
against his family’s wish, can you imagine?
And I asked what will happen to me and he
said he was sorry it’s over,can you believe
that crap? Two years of my life was ended
over the phone, just like that!’ She narrated
bitterly. ‘Inconsiderate coward’, I said,
‘Foolish bastard’ Amanda said, ‘Ode,
oloriburuku, oloshi’, Bimpe said and we all
burst into laughter then went quite again.
Then Amanda said, ‘Someone needs to check
today’s date because you girls won’t believe
I’ve been calling Uche for two days now and
he has not been picking up,does he think he
can just leave me like that?’ We all tried to
hide our sarcastic faces and I gave a fake
cough.
Amanda looked at all of us and threw her
hands in the air before it came to fold over
her chest.
‘What now? Cant I get any sympathy here?’, I
cleared my throat and asked her, ‘Ama, do
you call what you have with Uche a
relationship?’ ‘Yes of course,’ she replied. I
laughed and she rolled her eyes at me, Koyin
asked, ‘What about Alhaji?’ He is a spare, he
doesn’t count’, she said. Bimpe chipped in,
‘What about Segun?’ ‘Segun is just for S£x,
its Uche I love nah?’. ‘Do you now see why
you can’t get our sympathy?’ I told her,
‘Whatever! But if Uche is treating me well I
won’t be going after other men now’, she
said sitting down and crossing her legs.
‘Common Ama, you like men, you can’t be
satisfied with one.’ I said while Bimpe and
Koyin nodded their agreement.
Amanda laughed and clapped her hands and
she said ‘See me, see wahala oo, see kettle
calling pot black! You that have five
boyfriends nko? What are you?’ She asked. I
sat back on my chair, crossed my left leg
over my right leg and said, ‘Point of
correction sweetheart, they are not my
boyfriends, they are my partners and unlike
you girls, I don’t love them or claim to love
them, I use them and discard them when I
like, I have one for S£x, one for money, one
for outing, one for business and one for
keeping my company. You girls should
realize men are like babies, you lead them
where you want them to go, don’t get
attached, love is for fools’, I lectured.
They all kept quiet and I can tell they were
digesting what I’ve said. Let me tell you
about us. My name is Sandra and Koyin,
Amanda and Bimpe are my friends. We are
all in our late twenty’s and we live together in
a three bedroom flat, Koyin and I have a
room to ourselves while Bimpe and Amanda
shared a room. I work for an advertisement
company. Bimpe is a nurse, Koyin is a
banker and Amanda is into business for
herself, she has a small boutique. We all met
at the NYSC camp when we were posted to
Lagos and since then we have been
inseparable. We are all from comfortable
family except Koyin whose parents are very
rich. Koyin has a car, I have a company car
too and between the two of us we get the
ladies anywhere they want to go. Bimpe is
very gentle, she hardly gets angry, she loves
to cook and clean, always caring for
everybody, she’s the peace maker, she likes
fair guys, she had one boyfriend, John, she is
pretty. Koyin is the lazy one, she can pay her
way through anything, she likes to read and
play video games, she is gentle and
considerate, she likes guys that are not too
tall because she’s short herself and Usman
was her boyfriend, she’s an attractive lady.
Amanda is a very fair lady; she’s hard
working and very independent.
She has her own boutique and love men of
all tribes, size, age and color so far they are
rich.
She has four lovers that I know of but she
claims to love Uche. She’s a beautiful girl.
