LOVE AND VIRGINITY

PART 16 [FINAL]

.

My mom then said to Ella. “You see

everything is fine, I told you.”

I then went to my room and Ella followed. I

had to pretend to be happy with her to erase

the doubts she was having, so we played

board games and watched TV. When it was

dark I dropped her off and came back home.

I was going to my room and my mom called

me. She said. “I gave birth to you, I nurtured

you, I took you to the best schools in the

country. I made you you got the best job a

graduate can have. I have always looked out

for your interest. I am your mother and I have

been good to you since the day you were

born. Now adeoluwa , tell me the truth. What

is

going on?”

At that moment I knew I couldn’t keep it

within me. I told me mom. I told her

everything that happened. She then said. “I

am totally disappointed in you. I brought you

up well, only for you to be bewitched by that

girl. I blame your father for making you serve

in Kogi state. Now adeoluwa , you will take

me

to where you are housing them.”

I sad. “Now? It’s late mom.”

She said. “Now adeoluwa . And who else

knows

about this? ”

I said. “Nobody just us.”

She then said. “It is going to remain that

way.”

Her driver then took us to Tope’s apartment. I

knocked and Tope opened the door and said.

“Sweety, I was just …….”

My mom said. “Who is your sweety?”

Tope was scared to her teeth and she said.

“Sorry mummy, I didn’t see..”

My Mom said. “Don’t call me mummy. You

mother disowned you because of your

treachery.”

We all stepped into the apartment. My mom

then said. “Do you know who I am?”

Tope said. “No ma”

My mom sad. “I am a Judge in Lagos. I can

make life very complicated for you if yo try to

destroy what I have spent almost all the years

of me life to build.”

Next thing Junior walked into the sitting room

and cried out. “mummy, mummy…” He stood

still as he saw the crowed.

My mom saw him and said. “Oh my God,

Adeoluwa !!” As she held my hand tight.

There was silence for a minute. Then my mom

said. “The deed has been done, but if you

truly love my son you will have to let him go. I

was very angry but now I don’t have to show

it because of him. He is innocent and does

not have to suffer from your recklessness. I

will make arrangements for you 2 to relocate

to the UK. That is were you will spend the rest

of your lives. You will have to get your

educational doc*ments and necessary

doc*ments for that effect. Tomorrow, you will

leave for Abuja and you both will stay there

till your visas are ready.”

Tope was just sobbing and didn’t utter a

word. My mom then said. “My personal

a*sistant will come tomorrow morning to

facilitate the arrangements. This is the best I

can do not for you, but for him adeoluwa you

have 2 minutes, I will be waiting in the car.”

She left for the car and I stood there looking

at Tope. I then said. “I fought for us Tope and

now see what it has led? I don’t think I will

ever see you again. Good bye Tope.” I then

looked at Junior, I carried him one last time,

kissed his cheek and blessed him. I dropped

him down and headed to the car.

We got home and no word was uttered

between my mom and I. The following

morning I went to work and resumed my my

life the way it was before I went to see Tope

at Kogi. I knew I would learn to love Ella but I

can’t love her the way I loved Tope. But I later

came to understand that what transpired

between Tope and I was lust, lust was the

basis of our friendship and what reshaped our

destinies. Love builds but lust destroys.

Tope lives happily in London, she got enrolled

in the university and she’s almost done.

Junior is almost done with his primary

education, he loves football and likes to play

drums. Ella and I are happily married and we

have a daughter, she’s 2 years and she looks

a whole lot like my mom. Tope and I still

communicate once in a while. She still vows

to wait for me no matter how long it takes. I

know what happened was a mistake and it

still remains a secret but for how long?
