As we drove by, we saw the beautiful mountains and green valleys.
The view was absolutely spectacular.
We pulled off the highway and found a restaurant beside the road.
We branched there and ate.
I didn’t request for Shawarma this time around, I don’t know what might happen next.
So I just requested fried rice and chicken.
After we finished eating, we headed to the beach.
At the beach⛱️?️⛱️?️⛱️?️
The beach is the place to go whenever someone feels down, wants to relax, or just to go to have fun.
It is normally quiet and peaceful.
I am never ever more fascinated than the landscape of the beach as it is designed as if it had been man made.
I was already wearing my beach clothes,
I saw some people playing water sports in the ocean, playing volleyball or frisbee on the shore.
The children ran up and down as laughter filled every corner of the ocean, while some were relaxing and laying in a hammock with a drink in their hand.
I walked along with Olamide at the beach.
The way the beach sand flowed at my feet and tickled my toes made my heart beat like an orchestra drum.
As I kept walking along the beach I could feel the light breeze coming against me.
This fresh air felt warm as I felt like I was sleeping in a comfortable bed.
I could see the birds roaming around the sky like a pack of wolves making irritating squeaky noises as it was hungry and trying to find its prey.
I began walking towards the beach and I stopped at the edge of the beach where I decided to put my toes in the water.
As soon as my toes were in the water I got this light shiver in my body, where I felt like it touched my soul.
I could feel softness when the water covered my leg.
At this time, I could remember the time when I used to play with sand and water.
We bought fruits on the beach and also drank coconut water after that.
Then we took a lot of pictures of the scene.
It was a great experience.
I really enjoyed myself at the beach, then we entered the car and headed to the shopping mall.
At the shopping mall????
It took us almost 30 minutes after leaving the beach to arrive at the Shopping mall.
On getting to the shopping mall
The gateman took long before opening the gate.
As soon as he did that, I was so furious.
The Gateman appears to be a tall, skinny figure with yellow teeth.
What took you so long to open the gate I asked?
Am sorry ma, I quickly went to pick something inside the room.
That’s why It took me a long time to open the gate.
Can’t you hear yourself, you went to pick something in your room.
That means you didn’t know your work.
Do you think you are employed here to play?
You are such a fool.
I have to speak with the director of this place.
You have to be fired.
Am sorry ma, it won’t repeat itself.
He quickly went on his knees and started begging me.
It’s okay dear let’s get inside, Olamide said.
Then I walked angrily and I waited for Olamide.
I glanced at the layout of the mall.
It was very impressive.
It was spacious and well lit up.
I carefully reached into my enormous bag and got my blue iPod and stuck it to my phone.
A deafening blast of music came from the speakers, playing the song “Overdose me by Marvin”.
I saw him speaking with the gate man, but I don’t know what he is discussing with him.
Please I plead on her behalf.
Just forget everything that just happened now.
Please, have this token amount of money.
Thank you sir, he said.
And I rushed to meet Deborah.
Then we headed inside the shopping mall.
He bought me a lot of clothes, shoes and bags.
The clothes are expensive, they are only worn by rich people.
It was then time to buy some groceries from the supermarket as we were walking towards the other store to get them.
I saw a guy moving close to me.
He wore all black.
He wore dark jeans and a black long-sleeved T-shirt and heavy boots.
But I couldn’t properly see his face, he was putting on a face cap.
Who am I looking at, or am I dreaming, he said.
Is this not Deborah?
As he moved closer to me, then I saw his face.
What? Who am I looking at?
I mumbled within myself.
Have been trying to avoid this guy since all this while, what’s he doing here in Zaria?
He wore the same dress that I had seen him wear since the day I met him.
He tried to touch me, but I gave him a hot slap.
How dare you touch me, do I know you?
Oh my God.
What kind of embarrassment is this?
It’s me Deborah, your boyfriend.
Can’t you remember my face, I really missed you and as God will do it, I met you today.
I am now living with my uncle here in Zaria.
I tried every means to reach you.
I called your phone number but it wasn’t reachable, I chatted with you on different social media handles, WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram you didn’t reply to my message.
I also tried to do a video call with you but you are rejecting it.
I also went to your house to ask about you from your mom, he said you have gained admission to study at the University.
I love you, please don’t leave me.
He brought out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned his tears.
Who cares?
Do you know him, Olamide said.
Know who?
Deborah, are you denying me?
What’s this stupid guy saying.
Me and you, where do we meet?
How could someone like me know you?
Maybe you are mistaken or they send you to tarnish my image.
A whole me, it seems you don’t know the daughter of who you are talking with.
I can ask my father to put you in jail and that is where you are going to stay for the rest of your life.
He tried to touch me again.
Then I turned toward him and with a lightning swing I slapped him again across the face with a force that shocked him cold.
Look here, let this be the last time you walked to me and say this trashed.
Then I pushed him out of the way.
Baby come and see, I said.
Then he moved towards me and I looked back to see the silly guy holding his cheek.
I picked out the things we wanted and put them in a trolley.
When we had finished, I pushed the trolley to the billing counter where Olamide paid for all the items that we had bought.
Then we moved out of the mall and entered the car and drove off.
On our way????
Not quite long a message entered my phone from a strange number, then I opened the message, it reads thus?
Hello Debby.
I know you might be wondering how I got your phone number.
You don’t have to know.
Let me just go straight to the point.
I and you know that your parents are not rich.
You are just living a fake life.
I have alot of proof here.
I know where your parents live, your family background.
You have a younger brother named John.
Your father is a farmer and your mother is a palm oil dealer.
If you want your secret to be safe with me.
I only have a request and I won’t disclose that now.
If you like, you can “Mess with me and I’ll do something worse than to pull your tongue out of your mouth, drag it around your neck, and strangle you with it.
This is my phone number.
Call me tomorrow morning, I will give you the address of where we are going to meet.
Goodbye.
I feel like fainting instantly.
Who could this be?
Why is he thr_@tening me?
These are the questions that come into my mind.
My mood changed instantly.
But I tried as much as possible to smile, so that Olamide wouldn’t notice me.
I checked the time on my phone and it was already 6:00pm.
As I was about to put the phone back into my bag.
Ada call came in and I picked the call.
Hello Debby, hope you enjoyed your outing today.
Yes, thanks I said.
Okay, please can I speak with Olamide.
I don’t get you?
You want to speak with who?
I wanted to hang up the call immediately but my phone was already on the loudspeaker and Olamide had already heard everything she said.
Who is that? Olamide said.
It’s Ada.
I thought he wanted to speak with me.
Yes, I handed over the call to him.
What’s this stupid girl wanted to tell my boyfriend, that she can’t tell me.
Is there anything between them?
She looks suspicious this days?
Hope Ada is not planning to snatched my boyfriend from me.
To be continue…………☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️
