STAND ALONE NARRATIVE:

REPAYING EVIL WITH GOOD



She Was my childhood friend. We went to the same primary and secondary school. We relocated to another state, due to the nature of my dad's job. That didn't stop us from communicating with each other.



 She gained admission before me, into a polytechnic and I noticed a slight change. I didn't see it as anything. I felt school pressure was taking a toll on her so I didn't react. A year later, I got admitted into a university, she was the first I called, when she found out it was a uni, her countenance changed. She just said "Congrats o" and that was it. We kept in touch nevertheless. Along the line, we lost contact. We reconnected back after so many years. I was delighted to hear from her. I was serving while she just graduated.




She asked if I was married and I said no. She said she wants to get married asap as her younger sister is married and her mum is putting her under pressure. I told her not to worry that God will answer her. It was an on and off communication. One day, she sent me an invite, it was her wedding invitation. I was joyous and happy. I travelled down to the east for the wedding. I spent three days. When I arrived at their place, it was such a good time to reconnect with everyone but that was short-lived.

 Her mum asked,
"*** Di gi kwanu"?? I replied,
"Mummy, alubem Di o" She said,
"Haaaaa,gini mere"
I told her "God's time is the best".

All through my short stay there, I wasn't myself as she didn't fail to tell me to try and get married. How old was I then?26 yrs! After the thanksgiving service on sunday, I took a night bus to my base, I didn't want to stay one more second with them as her two sisters joined their mum to subtly mock me. They never called to find out if I got home safely or not. Well,God brought me home amidst the terrible experience that night.


 Well, i kept the communication line opened even when she rarely replied my chats. One day, she uploaded a picture she took at Ikeja City Mall, Wow!, I asked her if she was in Lagos, she said she has relocated!. I promised to visit her. I asked for her address which she never sent . I didn't bother again. I was always checking her up on her.



Yesterday, I went to balogun market to pick up some goods, guess who I saw?****! She was at my customer's stall to buy things as well. It was the most embarrassing day of my life! I hugged her, with my full dentition on display! Babe acted like she had amnesia!She never hugged me back, neither did she smile. It was the coldest reception ever!I prayed for the ground to open and swallow me. She just said, "how na"? And continued talking to my customer. Even the man was confused.I quickly left.


I didn't even know when tears came rolling down my face. Never been humiliated this way!
I went back to the cab that brought me, called my customer that I'll send someone to come pick up the goods. I felt really hurt. 


After market runs, on my way home, I saw ****!. She was dragging two heavy bags, trying to get to the bus stop. I wanted to ignore her but I couldn't. I stopped and asked her where she was going to, she was shocked and suprised! She told me. I offered to help her. She didn't believe it!.


She was uncomfortable! 



To break the silence, I started a conversation. "How are you doing? You look great!". She broke down in tears. She apologized for her nasty attitude towards me. She told me a lot of personal challenges she's been going through. She's a single mum of 3. I felt really bad. I prayed with her and told her that God will do a new thing in her life. 


I ended up dropping her at her place and I left. 


I told my cousin,cos she knows all has been happening and she was angry.She said, "onyeoma nda Cy" Why didn't you ignore her. After she embarrassed you". 

I told her, " This is what makes me sleep well at night, paying evil with good"




`WOW,your closure got me!!!....I was even waiting for you to walk out on her or ignore her...Thank you....I got the Message and i am sure some people will as well..
