THE PAINFUL PLEASURE EPISODE 36,37&38
Episode 36
I finally
got to my hostel, I couldn’t eat or drink, I couldn’t
even sleep, I was just on my bed. I was really helpless. “So
Moji doesn’t have feelings for me? So I’m just an idiot,
lovingeven sleep, I was just on my bed. I was really helpless. “So
Moji doesn’t have feelings for me? So I’m just an idiot,
a girl who is in love with another guy?” I thought to myself.
Compared to her boyfriend? I’m nowhere near him. The guy
is so handsome, he’s such a dude. “She can never love me! If
she can date a guy that handsome, how on earth will she
love someone like me? I lost her! I lost her!” I kept repeating
the same thing in my mind. I was just there helpless on the
bed. All my roommates have slept already. I was there alone
with my thoughts.
It was morning, Mayowa and I didn’t have a class until
12pm. Emeka, Olu and Abdul were not in the room. It was
just me, Mayowa and Matthew in the room. Well, whenever
we are talking about love, sex and relationship, Matthew
doesn’t involve in the conversation. Maybe that’s a rule to
him. I told Mayowa everything that happened the previous
night. He was really surprised to hear that he was wrong
after all. . .
Mayowa: Are you saying that Moji has a boyfriend?
Me: That’s the exact thing I’m saying. She kept repeating that
we are like siblings. I don’t want to be her sibling. I love her.
I am sure of it. I can’t afford to be just friends with someone
I’m madly in love with (panicking)
Mayowa: Just calm down. If she has a boyfriend already, I
don’t think there is anything you can do. At least, you can’t
ask her to break up with her boyfriend. And you don’t want
her go double-date do you?
Me: Of course not! I just want a serious relationship with
her. She knows my every move. Even when I’m not talking,
she knows what I’m saying. Even my mother doesn’t know
me the way she knows me.
Mayowa: Guy stop being so emotional. Just move on with
your life. You are still too young to love like this. If she is
already dating, then move on with your life and forget about
her.
Me: Hmmmm, I really don’t know what to do.
Mayowa: I just told you what to do; Forget about her and
move on.
Me: Hmmmmm, it’s harder than you think. It’s not that easy.
Mayowa: I understand, but you have to try. It won’t be an
easy task, but just try.
As we were talking, Emeka came in. He discovered that my
face was all gloomy. “Guy wetin dey do you naw?” Emeka
asked. Mayowa explained the whole thing to him. You know
Emeka by now, the crazy guy himself. “Oh boy, your mata
bad gan o. So that Moji wey u wan die on top don get
boyfriend? Aah you don throw banana give monkey. You
don dash the girl out to Canada bobo. Wait self, shey u think
say she go love you? How much you get self? You don buy
her water before? You buy Brazilian hair? You con dey talk
say she go love you? If she love you make I know why.”
Emeka made matters worse. Mayowa was already laughing,
but I didn’t find it funny. Emeka just kept making jest of me.
I didn’t even laugh, I was just there.
I stood up, and dressed up for my 12 o’ clock class. I went to
Pearls hostel to meet Moji, so we could go to the class together.
Moji was gisting me as we were going to the class, but I
didn’t even care to listen. I was just going with her, and
contributing the little way I could. We got to the class, it was
a Botany class. I just sat, and I was just quiet.
After an hour, the lecture finished. I thought about what
Emeka said, and I decided to act on it. I took 200 Naira,
bought two cold ‘viju-milk’. One for me one for her. “You
must have been really sapped, I got this for you.” I said,
handing her the viju-milk. “Awwwwwwwn, you are so sweet.
Thank you so much”. She said, collecting the drink. It was
then it occurred to me that I haven’t bought anything for her
since we met. I was really happy that she called me “sweet” I
decided that I would do anything to impress her.
We sat in a quiet place, as we waited for our next class which
was 2pm. That was Sociology class. As we were seated my
phone received a new text. Behold it was Sandra. “What is
the message all about?” I asked myself. But I couldn’t even
guess right. So I opened the message. The contents really
disorganised me. They were. “Hey dude, congrats. You are
gonna be a father. Cause I’m pregnant for you, and I’m
keeping it.” . . .
.
Episode 37
“No this
can’t be. It just can’t be. What have I done? This is a
big mess.” I said it out loud that Moji heard me. “She took
the phone from me, and read the message. “That’s Sandra
right?” Moji asked me smiling. “Yes, that’s Sandra, and
besides this isn’t funny. Why exactly is that smile on your
face?” I was really nervous as I asked her the question. “I
knew she was going to do this”. Moji said with so much
assertiveness. “I don’t really get what you are saying. I really
don’t understand it.” I said to her. . .
Moji: Number one, that girl is a slut, she has been in this
game for too long already. She can only get pregnant if she
wants to. If she is really pregnant, it will affect her studies
more than it will affect yours. So it won’t be wise of her to
get pregnant, and I doubt that she would. Number two, she
doesn’t want you to go, she wants to keep you to herself,
which means that she will do anything possible to hold you
to herself.
Me: So you think she is lying?
Moji: I don’t think she is lying, I know she is lying.
Me: What if we think she is lying, and it turns out that she is
telling the truth?
Moji: That is why we need to take the next step.
Me: The next step?
Moji: Yes, we have to prove that she is lying. I will take my
phone and search for tips on pregnancy. Then you go ahead
and investigate.
Me: She might be telling . . .
Moji: (cuts in) Are you ready to be a dad? If you are, tell me
so I can quit trying to help you. And if you are not, man up,
and let’s prove that idiot wrong.
Me: (fear was written all over me) seriously, I don’t know
what to do, I don’t know what my mum will do if she finds
out about this.
Moji: But Dapo, what came over you, how come you had
unprotected sex with a girl like that? You could have
contacted an STD in the process. You need to go for check up
after sorting all this out.
Me: I won’t have STD in Jesus name. Moji, don’t wish me evil.
Moji: (Lowering her voice) God sees my heart that I want the
best for you. I just want you to know in case you have a
problem.
Me: Alright, let us solve this first before we even think of
that. . .
It was time for sociology class. The man said some things
about teenage pregnancy. What a coincidence that was. I
looked at Moji’s face to see her reaction. She didn’t even
look at me. Her eyes were so glued to the lecturer. We
finished the lecture, and went back to the hostel.
When I got to the room, That was around 3:30pm, Everyone
was in the room except Abdul and Matthew. Those two guys
are always reading like bookworms. As Emeka will always
tell them “Una wan carry first?” That means that University is
not about being the best student overall, it’s about having
good grades and graduating. That is just Emeka’s opinion
anyway.
At first, when I saw Emeka and Olu in the room, I didn’t want
to talk about my issue with Sandra. But since those guys are
older and more experienced than me as far as the issue on
ground is concerned, I decided to seek their opinion. . .
Me: Guys, please I have a problem and I really need your
advice. I don’t know what to do.
Emeka: Watin dey do you self, you go just dey blow
grammar like say na house of rep we dey.
Olu: Leave am, make hin dey show hinself.
Mayowa: Make una hear wetin hin wan talk naw, dis one
wey hin call meeting like say hin wan share will.
Me: Guys, this is serious.
Emeka: I no fit see rious pass the one wey I don see. Na the
problem wey you get make u tell me. Make I help you use
elderly man eye look am.
Me: Sandra texted me yesterday that she is pregnant.
Emeka: Na which kind talk be that one, if u wan turn basket
mouth wey dey crack joke, shey na this kind thing den dey
use do comedy? Guy abeg if na joke stop am.
Olu: If I hear say that girl get belle, girl wey don know her
way already. As you dey do her, she know wetin she go
chop, wetin she go drink wey go make belle run.
Mayowa: Wait self, that girl no look like person wey dey do
just one guy. When you slept with her, was she a virgin?
Me: Of course not.
Emeka: If that girl be virgin, it mean say my grandma self na
virgin. See my guy, no fear. That girl no fit get belle. The way
una dey talk am self, she no look like person wey get womb.
Your tin don sweet am for body, she no wan make u go. Na
why she dey lie that lie. Na so one girl do me for my area,
wey dey lie give me say she get belle. Na later I discover say
1 year don pass she no born. I con see say her belle self no
change. Just thank your star say this one no need your
money. She for use am collect your money well well.
Olu: Emeka, abeg joor, make we hear word. Na everything
don do you before. Dapo (Facing me) The way me dey look
am, dat girl no get belle o. She just wan spoil your life ni.
And I no wan make you gree for am.
Me: That is the same thing Moji said.
Mayowa: Are you crazy? You told Moji that Sandra is
pregnant?
Me: It’s not like that, she kind of discovered by taking my
phone to read the text.
My roommates said the same thing Moji said. Sandra was
just trying to tie me down. “Now I have some investigations
to do with Moji. I need to uncover her lies. She has to lose
this game once and for all”. I thought to myself. . .

just trying to tie me down. “Now I have some investigations
to do with Moji. I need to uncover her lies. She has to lose
this game once and for all”. I thought to myself. . .
Episode 38
I started
investigating, alongside Moji. We searched for
means through which we could prove her wrong, but there
is no other means of actually confirming, than getting close
to her. Moji wasn’t really comfortable with this idea. “Get
close to her? No way! What if in that process, you get her
really pregnant this time. I’m sorry, but it won’t be possible”.
Moji protested. I didn’t really understand why Moji was
acting that way. She had a boyfriend already, and she was
being overly protective over me. “I can assure you, nothing
will happen between us.” I said to Moji. “Promise me you
won’t have anything to do with her.” Moji said to me. “I
promise!” I answered her.
Moji agreed that I go to Sandra, Sandra had rented an
apartment already in town around an area called ‘Asherifa’.
So I went to meet her in her house. Getting the truth from
her won’t be a difficult task. After all, Sandra is a talkative. All
I have to do is engage in a long discussion with her. It will
only be a matter of time before she vomits the whole truth.
When I got to her house, she was too pretty for someone
who is really pregnant. At first that made me suspicious, but
I just kept my calm and sat on a chair in her room. . .
Sandra: I knew you will come. (Sending the message to me
with a seductive smile)
Me: Yes baby. I’m sorry I shouted at you the other day. It
wasn’t my doing. I just got uncontrollably angry.
Sandra: It’s all right. I know you didn’t mean all that. What do
I offer you?
Me: No I’m totally fine. (Thinking to myself) You think you
can drug me?
Sandra: So now that I’m pregnant for you, you need to come
here often, so you can perform your duties as an expectant
father.
Me: And what are those duties?
Sandra: You sleep with me regularly. In order to ensure safe
delivery.
Me: No, that’s not good for the baby. We shouldn’t do that.
Sandra: But that’s what my doctor said.
Me: Yes, I’ve been thinking that as the father of this baby, I
need to have a discussion with that doctor of yours, you
know I have to see him, so he can put me in line as regards
things to do, and things not to do as far as our baby is
concerned.
Sandra: (stammering) ern ern ern no. Let’s just focus on
oiling me. (Coming close to me)
Me: (Restraining her) I’m not doing anything until I talk to
the doctor, and he says that it is safe for the baby. The baby
is not even up to two months. I don’t want anything to
happen to my baby. Without a qualified doctors advice, I’m
doing nothing.
Sandra: I understand what you are saying but. . .
Me: There are no. . . (I looked at my side, and saw a guys
shirt) What is this Sandra?
Sandra: (Being defensive) Its not Important it’s just. . . .
Me: (Cuts in) It’s just what? I can’t believe you are cheating
on me.
Sandra: I swear to God I’m not. It’s just a neighbour that
came here to rest yesterday. We are quite close. I swear
nothing is between us. (trying to convince me)
Me: How can I be so sure that you guys didn’t have sex
yesterday?
Sandra: We couldn’t have had sex, because yesterday I was
on my period.
Me: Alright. Alright. Alright I believe you.
I stayed there for some hours, she pressurized me to sleep
with her, but I didn’t fall for it this time. The promise I made
to Moji kept me going. I was so in control, as I had made a
firm decision not to do a thing with Sandra. “I think I have to
go now, I will see you later.” I said to her. Though her face
was gloomy, but I didn’t look at that for a second as I have
my own life to live. I left the place, and immediately I
entered campus, I gave Moji a call. Moji came to see me and
we started talking at Pearls hostel. . .
Moji: How did it go?
Me: I didn’t find anything. But the girl is a slut, I found a guys
shirt in her house. She told me she didn’t have sex with him,
because the guy came yesterday, and she was on her period
then. She wanted me to have. . .
Moji: (Cuts in) Wait, what did you just say?
Me: She wanted me to have sex. . .
Moji: (Cuts in again) No, not that, she was on her what?
Me: On her period.
Moji: I knew it!!!
Me: What’s that?
Moji: Women don’t menstruate, when they are pregnant.
This can only mean that she is lying about one of the two. It’s
either she is lying about her pregnancy, or lying about
sleeping with the guy with the shirt. Either way, we will use it
to our advantage. You will have to go there again, and tell
her you have phobia for pregnant women, and that’s why
you can’t have sex with her. Just act the whole drama well,
and you will get the truth. . .
To cut the long story short, some days later, I went to
Sandra, I told her what Moji had taught me. “I really want to
do this, but I have phobia for pregnant women. I’m just here
talking to you because of the love I have for you.’ I said to
her.”Seriously? Owk, Dapo there is something I want to tell
you.” She said. “Okay, I’m all ears”. I answered. “Promise me
that you will stick to me, and give me what I want if I tell you
the truth”. She said. “Just tell me”. I answered. “Actually, I’m-
I’m- I’m not really pregnant”. She said. I got really excited,
but just kept playing along. “oh my God! I thought I was
going to be a father. I can’t wait for you to be the mother of
my children.” I said to her and planted a kiss on her lips to
make her tell me more. “I know, but getting pregnant now
will really affect our lives. Let’s just keep having fun. I can
only get pregnant. If I want to”. She said, trying to draw me
to herself. But I pushed her away to the bed. “You bastard! I
never want to see you again. I will pay you your money and
it will be all over.” I got really angry. I stormed out of her
room with mixed feelings. Anger/Relief was the feeling. I
entered campus. Moji was already waiting at Pearls hostel to
hear the report. . . .
