adebimpe the facebook girl season 5 epi 3

******** LAST WEEKEND ***********

On friday morning of that week, I was on my desk at work when betty initiated a chat with me on BBM.

BETTY: hi dear

ME: hello love.

BETTY: how are you doing? And hope you aren’t missing me too much?

ME: I miss you so much dear. Infact, I’m just managing to cope here without you.

BETTY: hmmmmmmm, what about those cute customers that do visit your bank, hope you aren’t winking at any one of them?

ME: trust me dear. You know I won’t do such now. Everything I wanted in life, I can find them in my betty, so I don’t need to look elsewhere again.

BETTY: hmmmmmmm. That’s my baby.

ME: will I see you again before you travel out of the country?

BETTY: I’m not sure about that onihaxy. You know I told you my introduction will be coming up tomorrow. And I will be travelling on Tuesday morning.

ME: ** silent and don’t know what to type**

BETTY: PING!!!

ME: hi

BETTY: onihaxy, I know why you are silent and I understand how you feel. Please don’t be weary and heartbroken, I’m yours forever.

ME: Are you sure dear?

BETTY: yes I’m very sure. Like I told you earlier, I already told this guy that I’m a virgin and I don’t want to have any intimacy until my wedding night.

ME: but what you wanted to do tomorrow is a form of wedding?

BETTY: not at all dear, it’s just a parlor introduction between the two families, that’s all.

ME: baby I’m scared.

BETTY: onihaxy please, don’t be scared. Nothing on earth can separate you and I. I just needed to have my masters from a foreign school in other to have a competitive edge in the job market. I know my father will disown me after school, I know I will loose my inheritance in my father’s property but I don’t care, I’m just ready to spend the rest of my life with you dear.

ME: hmmmmmmmmmm.

BETTY: baby, you still don’t believe me?

ME: I do dear, just bothered ni

BETTY: ok onihaxy, what do you want me to do in order to convince you?,

ME: I just don’t know jaree.

BETTY: ok, do you have anywhere we can go and have a covenant or oath?, I will come to lagos on sunday and we will go there together.

ME: covenant/oath kee?

BETTY: yes onihaxy, I mean it. I’m ready to do anything to convince you.

ME: I’m already convinced dear, don’t worry.

BETTY: ok onihaxy, let me run away from home again then, I will pack my things and move in with you at maryland. I will start job hunt with my first degree.

ME: haaa, what about your masters programme?,

BETTY: I’m ready to forfeit it. Abi why should I travel out to further my education and end up loosing you due to lack of trust?, its certain that I will remain miserable for the rest of my life even with the second degree certificate.

ME: betty, don’t worry, you are free to go. I already trust and believe in you. For you to love me at my poor state of living despite the fact that you are. Multi millionaire’s daughter, there is no love more than this. I’m just scared that my rich rival won’t snatch you from me.

BETTY: trust me dear, the love I have for you is more than riches, silver and gold. I love you more than anything in this world and I’m not ready to loose you because you are my life and my heartbeat.

ME: thanks so much dear, I love you so much.

BETTY: I love you too honey.

ME: let’s chat later dear, I have some work to do on my desk dear

BETTY: ok dear, I will update you on any development dear.

ME: alrite dear. Bye

BETTY: bye dear.

I resumed my duty at work after the chat and began to ponder on everything. The next day which was Saturday, Betty uploaded a picture of her and the guy on her facebook, bbm and whatsapp. I couldn’t help but cry like a baby as I saw the pictures but poor me, I have no choice than to keep mute and play along with her just as she kept assuring me that nothing can stop her love for me.
After the weekend introduction, my dearest betty departed Nigeria for united kingdom on Tuesday and she updated me with pictures and chats right from when she left home to the time she got to the airport and boarded the flight.
———————————————————————————————–

The next day after receiving the suspense text from bimpe, I was totally disturbed and restless as I began to imagine so many things.
“What could the test be about?”
“Could it be an infection?”
“Could it be HIV/AIDS ?”
“Could it be an STD ?”
” Hope its not what I’m thinking?”
“Or could it be another pregnancy?”
” I hope it’s not pregnancy sha”
” I just pray it’s not what I’m thinking?”
“Or what could be my business with her test?”
“If it’s an STD, it’s still better because its curable”
“If it’s an HIV infection, I think it’s bad”
“But if its another pregnancy, then I’m doomed”
“How do I face betty?”
“How do I explain to the world that the wife of my fiance’s brother is keeping a second child for me?”
“How do I handle it especially now when segun doesn’t want to be involved in bimpe’s matter?.
” Onihaxy……. You are in trouble”

Throughout the day, bimpe didn’t call me neither did she text me nor chat with me and this made me more uncomfortable and more restless as it was unlike her, The adebimpe that I knew will never let a day pass by without me getting atleast 20 missed calls from her. I thought of ignoring her text and pretend as if I never received it earlier, but my troubled mind won’t let me to rest and move on. The more I try to forget it, the more I get scared with heavy and strange thoughts in my heart. When I couldn’t hold on again, I decided to pick my phone and dial her number, she didn’t pick up until the 3rd call attempt.

BIMPE: ****silent****

ME: hello bimpe.

BIMPE: ***harsh voice**** hi, how can I help you?

ME: Adebimpe, why are you sounding like this?

BIMPE: what do you mean about why I’m sounding?, you have been trying to avoid me for the past few days and I’m already getting used to it. So what is the problem?

ME: anyways, I got your message about a laboratory test you did. What is it all about?

BIMPE: it’s not something I can discuss on phone, if you are interested in hearing, let’s see and discuss.

ME: ****curious**** must we see before we discuss?, can’t we say it here on phone?, after all, I’m calling you with my airtime?

BIMPE: don’t shout on me Mr Man, I never forced or begged you to call me in the first place, so stop lamenting about airtime.

ME: me abi?, “iyen emi naa?”

BIMPE: yes, you. Like I said earlier, I’m not saying anything on phone, not until we see.

ME: ****angry*** then forget about it then, keep whatever you want to say to yourself. I don’t care anymore and I’m not interested in seeing you.

BIMPE: *****laughed**** well, no wahala, when the bubble eventually burst, you will hate yourself and you will almost cry blood. Onihaxy, you have just laid the foundation to your destruction. Have a nice day **hung up***

I opened my mouth wide and staring at the phone at the same time in a surprised mood. I began to soliloquize
“Did bimpe just bang the phone on me?”
“What does she meant by bubble burst?”
“Am I actually laying the foundation of my destruction?”
“What could be going on?”
“Did she just threatened me?”
“Onihay, you are in trouble”.

I continued to think and was totally confused and dumb folded at the same time. I began to think whether I should call her back or ignore her. I tried putting it off my mind but the thoughts keep pushing itself to the center of my heart. I felt like calling segun then I remembered that segun had sworn not to get involved in Adebimpe’s matter again.
After several minutes of struggling with the thoughts, I couldn’t just help it anymore than to call her again to just clear my head. I picked up my phone and dialed her number again. This time, she didn’t pick up until the sixth call.

ME: hello

BIMPE: yes!!!!, what is it?

ME: ok, can we see this Sunday?

BIMPE: time?

ME: what time will be ok for you?

BIMPE: anytime is ok by me.

ME: ok, around 2pm

BIMPE: alright, no problem. At where?

ME: where will you prefer?

BIMPE: any venue is ok by me.

ME: what about a eatery?

BIMPE: no problem. So which eatery is that?
