BERIED UNDER THE ROCK OF LIES
episode 7
i began to say with david and his family, david’s father i heared
has not returned to nigeria for the past two years, i also found out
that david had an identical twin brother who was also in the states
with their father, i was told that his name was daniel, my
familiarity with the family increased and over the time of months i
had already blended into the family, meanwhile the friendship
between i and david increased and it even began to get out of
hand as david was always with me, always protecting me,
always caring for me. he enrolled me in a lesson in order to
prepare to write the west African examination and also jamb, i
began the lesson because i have been wishing to go to school as
mama d only sent me to a public school for my primary
education while i learnt secondary stuffs from the other girls at the
brothel, two girls for that matter they were my only friends at the
brothel, anna and bisi. they said an opportunity does not come
twice so when david offered to send me to school, i did not
hesitate before saying yes, i worked very hard at the lesson center
and prepared and studied well for the examinations, i made a
friend name deride at the center and we both prepared for the
exam, soon i wrote waec and neco and waited for the results, but
while i did my relationship with david became more closer and it
soon became obvious that we were closer than friends, i was
with deride at the lesson center chatting with her when someone
suddenly closed my eyes from behind and i immediately knew it
was david)
me: (i laughed) i know its you david (i said and he removed his
hands from my eyes)
david: how are you doing tumi
me: am doing good! (i said as i smiled and he also smiled but i
saw that my friend was getting uncomfortable) so what are you
doing here?
David: cant i check on my friend anymore
me: of course you can
David: hope am not disturbing you and your friend
me: no David deride this is my best friend david and david this is
my other friend deride (i said introducing them to each other)
david: (he handshaked deride) nice to meet you deride
deride: (smiling) also pleased to meet you in person David (i could
notice how my friend looked at David) tumi has always spoke
about you
David: i hope its a good thing
deride: of course (she said still smiling as she looked at him and
refused to drop down his hand) you are very handsome (that
enough i cant take it anymore i just couged out a bit and she
finally released his hand)
david: tumi i will go and check your coordinator and when am
true we will both g, alright
me: ok (i smilled as he pecked me on my forehead, david always
has the habit of pecking me and i got to admit that i love when he
does it but for so many times i told him to stop it though i did not
mean it but he never stopped but i noticed how my friend looked
at us she looked somehow jelouse, well she doesnt have a
boyfriend so i cant blame here)
David: i’ll be right back (i nodded in response as he walked away
from us and deride’s eyes followed him, i had to cough out again
before she looked at me)
me: girl what is up with you
deride: nothing (she said) david is really handsome
me: i guess he is
deride: and you are only friends
me: yes we are the very best of friends
Deride: ok(she smilled but some how i could tell that there was
more to her smile and there was more to what i and david have
together, but certainly am not ready to lose him as my friend nor
will that ever happen in this lifetime)
