LOVE AND VIRGINITY

PART 11

.

We will be traveling to Calabar in

3 weeks, for her friends wedding. I think that

when I will do it.”

My mom said. “Good make sure you do your

thing.” Ella and I became so close, I went to

see her family and they gave me a warm

welcome, her siblings were so friendly…..

Things were

getting more and more interesting.

We travelled to Calabar for the wedding. I had

with me the engagement ring and I was

praying

she would say yes, a part of me was sure…

She

decided we stay in different hotel rooms

because she told me she was still a virgin that

she needed

to keep till that special night, I felt so lucky…

After the church ceremony at the reception, I

gave someone my phone to make sure he

captured the

moment. I then called Ella’s attention. “Ella.”

As I knelt down with the ring.

She said. “Oh my God…” I then asked. “Will

you marry me?” She covered her eyes and

screamed. “Yes!! I will.”

To my surprise, people around were clapping

and that made me very uncomfortable. After

the event

we headed back to our hotel rooms and I

called my mom telling her the good news. My

mom was really glad. That night, I went on

Facebook to post the proposal picture. I

noticed I had several unread

mails so I took my time to read them. There

was one mail that took my attention the most.

The sender didn’t have a profile picture so I

went ahead to read the mail.

It said. “Please are you the adeoluwa that

served inKogi over a year ago? please call this

number ********** Tope.”

I felt very disturbed and I called the number

immediately. Unfortunately the phone was

switched off. I checked when the message was

sent and it was about 4 months ago.

I got back to Lagos and kept on trying the

number with no success. On wednesday

morning it rang. I

waited to hear the voice and it was Tope’s. I

then said. “Oh Jesus, Tope I just saw your

mail are you okay?”

She began to sob. “adeoluwa please

come and help me. I need your help now more

than ever….”

I then said. “I don’t get you Tope is everything

alright?”

She said. “Nothing is alright, please come I

need your help.” I the said to her. “I work now,

I won’t be chanced to travel.”

She then said. “How about saturday it’s very

important.” The line then went off.

Memories of Tope came back, I was confused

and very bothered about her situation. I kept

on

calling but the phone was switched off. I then

sent a text message to her. telling her I would

be coming on saturday, but will leave on

sunday morning because I had to prepare to

travel to Port Hacourt

on wednesday on an official a*signment. She

responded the following day with the address

and her location. I had made arrangements

with a driver to take me. there with my car

and I told Ella I was going on a business

meeting at Abuja. I left very early in the

morning and I got there around 11:30am. The

location was a church far inside the town, it

wasn’t easy locating it. I saw Tope by the

gate of the church, standing. She looked pale

and mucky,

she had lost weight and she looked very

unpleasant and troubled. I came down from

the car and she ran towards me.

She embraced me and said. “Oh adeoluwa ….”

As she wept deeply.

I held her back by her shoulders and said.

“Tope… Please talk to me what is wrong?”

She then said. “Come to the church with me

and you will know everything.”…..
