I DO (THE WEDDING ) Episode 5
Henry picked a restaurant with a view that over looked the Lagos lagoon, you could catch a glimpse of the third mainland bridge, with the cars held up in traffic causing their headlamp and tail light to produce red and yellow beams, after their meal they sat at the terrace of the restaurant to have a drink, she laid on her back on the relaxing chair looking into the dark sky with shining stars, the bright moonlight, the nice fragrance that emanated from the flowers on the terrace which filled her nostrils and the cold feel of the evening breeze made her close her eyes and let everything absorb in, the feeling was awesome especially the thought of being with the people she cared about; for her this was the true definition of peace, love and success she could not help but smile.
Kunle had never seen Nike in this kind of mood, his presence was almost not noticed she was carried away, her eyes were closed and she was smiling to herself. Henry did not want her to be interrupted he allowed as much time as she needed; until she was satisfied before they took their leave, he felt a pang of jealousy sweep him, how could he like her so much and did not know her as much as Henry did? I need to spend more time with her he thought to himself.
When Henry announced that he was travelling Kunle had mixed feelings, at first he was happy he would have Nike all to himself but on a second thought he remembered that Henry was like the pioneer of their relationship, he was not sure that Nike would continue with the outing in his absence.
The week after Henry travelled Nike did not want to get her hope up as the weekend drew closer, she was not sure Kunle would call, although she wished with all her heart that he would call; on Friday she dressed a little extra nice just in case, she waited for his call and stayed back after work hours hoping that he would call, when it got to 8pm and he did not call she decided to go home.
She could hardly sleep that nigh;t did he not like her enough to ask her out? so it was just mere friendship to him and nothing “oh stupid me” she thought to herself, with so many thoughts racing through her mind she slept off.
The alarm on her phone went off “ how could I have forgotten to put off this thing” she muttered to herself; she reached for the phone on the bedside to silence it, just then a call came it was a foreign number this must be Henry .
Hello sleepy head”
Good morning Henry
Morning dear, how was your night, trust you had fun
I did, I had plenty fun on my bed.
For real! Why did you not go out with Kunle?
I didn’t because he did not call.
Then you should have gone alone or with Kemi; don’t tell me you are waiting for me he teased.
Oh please! The truth is that I feel vulnerable when I go out alone, but when am with someone I feel a sense of security.
I know what you are trying to say, but you don’t look as fragile as you are, you look tougher and I guess that is one the reason he has not called you yet. Do you know the kind of courage one needs to have before they can approach a lady like you.
There you go again, trying to make me feel like a super lady.
You are a super lady and you have only refused to admit to it, as for Kunle he will call and if he does not forget him.
I was thinking I could call him..
What?.... you want to do what? Don’t even think of it and if you have been nursing such thoughts abort it quickly
I was only thinking…
Please think of something else.
What if he is sick?
Who are you to him his Doctor, family or what?
Now you are taking it too far Henry.
Am not, this is how it starts one phone call, one visit and then you are trapped in the web again.
Okay, I've heard you.
Good. How is your mum, Kemi and Tobi?
Everybody is fine, Tobi just got into his final year
Wow! your family will soon have a medical doctor
That’s right.
Your mum would be so proud;
Of course she is; you need to hear planning his graduation party
Nikky I have to go now you know off shore life, send my regards to everybody and take good care of yourself.
Okay, do take care of yourself.
