D UNSPOKEN TRUTH

 I knocked on the door once again then I heard Tolu’s voice {of the younger sister to my friend at the other side of the room} screaming ‘who is there’? I replied saying; ‘it’s me Shantelle’, there was excitement and it came so welcoming; ‘oh! Aunt Shantelle I am coming to get the door’. While I was waiting outside for the door to be opened, I looked around Funmi’s crib admiring a brand new Toyota Rav4 2012 that drove by the driveway. The house is duplex with four isolate compartments, I was wondering who owned the car because am familiar with almost all the occupants of the building but since it’s been a while I came to visit Funmi I decided to wait to see who was coming off this fine ride. A pretty young lady stepped out of the ever so craved car, looking all fly in this nice sun shade with her Peruvian hair gently pouring down her shoulders. She wore this lovely shorts showing off her long straight legs and a tank top showing off her cute belly-button and well placed breast. I could not stop admiring the channel bag matching her slippers but the gold accessories she had on was to kill for. I had to stop staring before she noticed I was in awe.

 Tolu had already opened the door gesturing that I come in but I could not even notice her because I was far gone in view of class that makes men drool. She had to step across the doorway to pull my bag for me to be removed from my daydream. While I regained my upon the pedestal of reality, the pretty lady walked past us whispering ‘hello’ with a shy smile, I had to ask Tolu ‘who is that hawt chic’, she replied; saying ‘oh! that’s Uncle Femi’s fiancé‘. I walked into my friend’s apartment thinking out loud; ‘where is Funmi now’? ‘she’s in her room’ Tolu replied. I walked into Funmi’s room screaming ‘friendship me o stupid gan, didn't you hear that am around’? She put her four-finger on her lip signifying she was on the phone, so I kept my cool waiting for her to get off the phone. 

Finally, she hung up after much blushes and bedroom voice which got me curious as to who is this mysterious person making Funmi giggle like a smitten kid? I couldn't wait to hear the full gist. Funmi turned to face me after hanging up still battling her eyelashes, I rolled my eyes saying spill now or you are going to lose a tooth, she smiled and said; ‘he never reach that one nau,  you too like gist sef’. I smiled back saying; ‘na u I take am resemble na’.

 Funmi went into details on how she was walking back home from the salon which was few streets away, a week ago and this LR3 {Land Rover 3} kept horning to get her attention but she played deaf ears, until the LR3 finally caught up with her and packed right by. She was a bit scared because the ride was humongous for the person driving it, so she assumed it might be one of these ritualist guys’. She started to walk fast because it was late evening. A young rough-around-the-edges guy climbed out of the LR3 and said; ‘hello pretty, don’t be scared I am completely harmless and I don’t bite’ with a big smile to go with it. So she stopped for a brief seconds to say; ‘like it’s written on the fore head that you don’t’, the young man smiled again saying; ‘I only need 5 mins of your time and this place is an open environment so you have nothing to worry about’, she simmered down; ‘ok ok how may I help you?’ He replied; ‘I am Akinola Afolabi, you?’ she said; ‘I am Funmi and am in a hurry’ with a straight face’. ‘I didn't mean to delay you or waste your time but in other for me not to waste more of it can we please just exchange numbers, Funmi that has already seized up Afolabi from head to toe and liking what she saw said ‘ok that’s no problem as long as you don’t stalk me or become a nuisance’. They exchanged numbers and Afolabi offered to drop her off but she turned it down saying; ‘she doesn't enter a stranger’s car’, they parted ways. 

I was so engrossed in this gist but it was disrupted by a knock on her room door as we both screamed; ‘who is it? Loudly’, a solemn voice replied at the other end; ‘it’s me Dapo joor’ Funmi’s brother, can I borrow your blackberry charger pls? Funmi replied; ‘what happened to yours?’, ‘I Forgot it at work today’, Funmi replied; ‘ok come in’. I and Dapo exchanged pleasantries and he teased me as usual, I could not help but bask in it a little. He got the charger and left. ‘He’s such a cutie Funmi’ I smiled, stay away from my little brother’, Funmi said jokingly, ‘he’s not so young now haha’, we both laughed and continued our gist. 

She continued about Afolabi who has been calling endlessly and he hardly ‘ping sef’ because he’s always busy at work and all but he calls and check up at every free minute, she’s already sounding like she’s liking him already. I quickly interrupted her saying; ‘Funmi, so Femi finally found another babe and a pretty one for that matter how does he do it?’ She replied; ‘na so we see am oh, you know he’s real boxed up now plus I heard he’s not so bad in bed from his last girlfriend’, I inquired; ‘does this babe knows the kind of guy he is?’ Funmi sighed; ‘you know he doesn't show them his true colour fast nau, he will first shower them with so much gifts and attention, they become hooked and he shows his real color’ ‘na wa ooo’. 

She resumed; ‘Shantelle you don’t want to know what happened last night, we couldn’t sleep up until 4am this morning. It started as little arguments, then it started increasing and turned into two people screaming and cursing each other, before we knew it, we heard; ‘you slapped me? you must be out of your mind or going mental, then another slap followed, then another. The next thing we heard was people throwing things around and she kept on screaming; ‘please don’t kill me, let go off me, I can’t breathe, bastard, fool, scallywag etc. She kept on screaming then the next thing we heard was an awkward silence. We were shocked that he had killed her finally, Popsy was about to open the door to go check what’s wrong then we started hearing loud and pleasurable moans saying; ‘baby I love you, baby am sorry, I swear it was a mistake I didn’t mean to touch you or hurt you, it’s the devil (the one behind every bad thing). I promise it won’t happen again, please I love you, and she was sobbing and moaning at the same time. I was just speechless thinking how stupid can this babe be, is it until he kills her or what?’
 

Apparently, that wasn't the first time it’d happen. I kept pulsating with thoughts, ‘why and how is she so hooked on this guy?’ Funmi said sarcastically; ‘she can’t leave nau, we don’t know which she’s enjoying best the money or the quantum shagging?’ ‘Abeg make she kill herself nau because every time he does this, a gift comes after just like he does for all his exes. That RAV4 came the following day after a pummelling that reshaped her jaw the last time ’. This left me with a lot of confusion as to why would such a pretty-hawtee have a minuscule sense of value and would rather settle for a scum bag like him? Should I say; ‘she’s been blinded by the gifts and sex?’ or ‘does she price something in him more than her self esteem…’ *sigh* TO BE CONTINUED…………………....
