THE WARMTH OF THE BASEMENT - CHAPTER SEVEN
FERANMI
I was very much aware of the fact that I was going to lose Anthony after my confession, but notwithstanding, I had to because Femi was becoming a pin in my ass. He has almost turned me into a maniac and I just had to speak up to bail myself from blackmail every time. I have learnt my lessons that not all that glitters is gold. Anthony did not utter a single word to me till I left his place. I really loved him but no man will listen to my type of confession and want to continue with such a relationship. The pain was too much for him to forgive, even if he decided to forgive me, his mind will never forget the fact that I have been sleeping with his friend uncountable times while disguising as virgin to him. Yes I lied to him I was still a virgin and will like to keep it till marriage if he could wait, he was ready to and respected my decision but the shocking revelation did not only break us but broke him totally. I knew I was unfaithful but I have accepted that as my fate, at least I was finally free from the sex bondage of the beast called Femi.
“Anthony, I know I have really hurt you, but I was deceived by your friend long before we met, and…”
“Just leave never to come back please” I was not expecting anything less, in tears I picked up my bag and was set to leave, deep within me, I wished he will pull me back.
“But let history have it that, a guy lived that loved you wholeheartedly” Those words further broke me and brought more tears out of me. I did not look back because I knew he was already in tears, rather, I just walked out wiping my tears.
Over at the hostel, I was lucky enough not to meet anybody in the room, Tobi was gone for a retreat and Juliet has been nowhere to be found, everybody already gave up searching and I guess even the security will be tired by now. I locked myself up and cried till tears could no longer flow after drenching my bed with a whole lot of them.
Lecture free week was getting closer and I needed to brace myself up. I also needed to turn a new live and start all over again. I decided to put on my internet connection to check what was going on campus from the various groups I belonged to. Lo and behold, the first message I got was that of the death of a young man who was involved in a robbery attack at Aserifa and the robbers killed him by butchering him and cutting him into pieces. His name – Femi.
