LOVE AND VIRGINITY

PART 8

.

Tope, please I need you to have this

money,

it is N12,000 get a good phone so we can

keep in

touch.”

She said. “Of what good will it be adeoluwa

When I

know I cannot have you forever.”

I then said. “Please Tope, I just need to know

how

you are faring, to know if I can help you with

anything, to hear your sweet voice again.

Please

Tope it means a lot to me.”

She took the money and she started sobbing

again

and she said. “Good bye adeoluwa , good

bye…”

As she ran away in tears.

I stood and watched her fade away in sight. I

had

tears in my eyes and felt an emptiness within.

The

vehicle got filled and I embarked on my

journey to

Lagos. As I journeyed I reflected on the sweet

moments Tope and I shared. I then realized

they

were the best times of my life and I felt

privileged

to have had such memories.

I got home and met my family, everyone was

happy to see me again. I sure did miss home

and

all the comforts, but nothing compared to

Tope,

whom I missed dearly. I knew I would

probably

not see her again and everything we had

would

only linger in thoughts till they grow dim with

time.

A week pa*sed and I didn’t hear from Tope, as

I

suspected. I knew she must have taken the

decision to stay aloof, it must have been very

hard

on her. I had no option than to move on and

face

the reality before me.

Through my mom’s connection, I was able to

secure a very profitable job in one of the

biggest

oil companies in Nigeria, in just 3 weeks after

my youth service.
