EPISODE 6
“Let it go! Let it go!! Let it go!!!”, the voice continually repeated those three words in my head. “AY, what’s wrong?”, they asked. I guess my countenance had changed. “I don’t know”, I replied. My mind was as unstable as when the Incredible Hulk is very unstable. I withdrew myself from them and told them I’ll be fine. Do you wanna know who I saw? I’ll tell you soon. I continued struggling in me trying to overcome the trouble my heart was feeling but the pain of revenge was trying to spring up but all I heard was those three words. “Let It Go”, sounding like the whisper of when they call Merlin, Emryss. Twas so solemn and I knew that it was the right path. I was struggling in me with great force that I didn’t know when I was sweating. Then I heard some people calling out my name faintly, “AY, AY, AY”. I opened my eyes. I had slept during break. My day was not yet over. “Whoa! Thank God it was just a dream”, I said. I sighed and thanked my guyz who woke me up. My new friends were 2 guyz and 3 galz and we formed a clique. Their names were Olusola (aka Solex), Chinonso (aka Nonso), Abiodun (aka Abbey), Chioma (aka Babygirl) and Evelyn (aka Eve). Olusola and Abiodun came from UNILAG while Nonso came from FUTOwerri, Chioma and Evelyn both came from FUTMinna. The interesting part is that we were all Computer Scientists. So after the whole day, we moved towards our houses (This wasn’t a dream ‘cos I checked my eyes to be sure). We lived quite near each other. On my street, Evelyn and Chioma lives there. The street adjacent to my street was where Nonso, Abiodun, Olusola lives. We enjoyed anyway. We did things together and invariably enjoyed.
My NYSC year was looking promising as if it was going to be hitch-free. But one day, it was cut short. I saw someone I didn’t wish to see AGAIN (yeah! Its not a dream). I saw Eunice, the same person in the dream I had inside the camp. Unfortunately, she didn’t see me. I didn’t think of revenging but I remembered the hurt she caused me. I called her name, “Eunice!!”. She looked around maybe asking herself, “who knows me here?”. I walked up to her and tapped her. She turned and wanted to say, “What the hell is your .........”, but she froze when she sighted me. The ever-showoff girl started stuttering, “A....A....A....A.....Y, wh.......wha....t are yo....u.....u.. do......do...do...ing..........here?”. I answered, “This is my service post”,”what of you?”, I continued. “Same th...th...th...ing”, she answered. “Still Computer Science?”, I asked. “Y..y..y..es”, she answered.
Wanted to continue asking questions and in the process torment her but “Let It Go” won’t allow me. “Alright, bye”, I said. But before going I said, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I already LET IT GO”. She nodded and I turned and left her still frozen.
>>>>In My Mind>>>>
“Yes!!!! I can’t believe its possible to torment someone without touching her. And yes!! LET IT GO is the best thing that ever happened to me.”
I got to my house in a happy state of ecstasy. I was happy beyond words. I don’t know what was wrong with her and I didn’t wanna know but I was surprised when I received a phone call. Twas an unknown number.
“Hello, who is this?”, I queried
“Eunice”
“Huh”, how the fuck did she get my number?
“How are you?”, she asked
“Fine”, I replied
“Nice to hear”, she said
“How did you get my number?”
“Collected it from Evelyn, she is my department mate in FUTMinna”
“Ohhhhh!”, I didn’t need anyone to tell me she went to FUTMinna after leaving FUTA
“Yes”
“So why were you stuttering the other time?”
“Nothing, jez fearfully surprised”
“Okay, I............”, she cut me short
“AY, I wanna apologize for what I did. I’m different now. I’m no more a cultist. Just Eunice. Please forgive me”, she said sobbing.
“Your wish is my command”, I replied though hurting but I could also feel her remorse
“Really? No abusive words?”, she asked
“Yeah, no abusive words”, I said affirmatively
“Okay”, she said, “bye”
“bye”.
I hung the call and I knew that its time to change time. My NYSC life turned around in a positive way. I felt sooooooo relieved not until I saw Catherine. Seems my life is beginning to connect back. But Catherine’s case baffled me.
“Hi”, I told Catherine
She fainted.
