Today is March 7, 2010. The day I can never forget. Though it's Sunday. It is a special day, the day that the love of my life was born.
Of course it's Kinky's Birthday. I sent message at mid-night and called her very early in the morning to wish her happy birthday.
I had asked her what I could buy that she would cherish and she said I should buy her TM LEWIS shirt. I know all her office shirts are TM LEWIS, she must definitely have preference for it.
So I went to a boutique on Saturday and bought 2 skirts and 2 female shirts. I felt so happy that at least, I was going to present her something on her special day. Ever since we have been dating, I have not given her any gift. So I was eager to see the next day, Monday, in order to present her the special gift that I have wrapped meticulously.
Today is March 8, 2010. I was the first to reach the office, I have never been to office that early in my life. I had dreamt of various ways to present it. When she arrived I just greeted her, I didn't tell her that I have any gift for her but she was shocked to have met me at office. After a while, she asked "Why did you come so early today?" "I just feel like so." I replied. "Tell me the truth." She added. "What else do you want to hear?" I asked "I don't know, you should know. Anyways my eyes are on you, I will just watch over to see it repeats itself before offering my comment. But now I reserve my comment." She replied. I wanted to reply her when Opeyemi entered and that made us to be four in the building, I, Kinky, Opeyemi and The cleaner-woman. After exchanging greetings with her, Kinky drew me to a corner and asked "Did you both fix appointment to come early enough for your stupid business?" "What business?" I answered with a question. "Don't pretend as if you don't know what I am talking about. I thought as much." "I am not sure of what you are saying and if it is what I envisage it to be, then you are totally wrong." I responded. "How can I be wrong when both of you usually come late to office and all of a sudden, coming early to work? Isn't that an act of suspicion?" She raged. "I actually came early because of you. I really missed you. In fact, I couldn't sleep overnight and so I thought to come early to engage in nice time with you before others could come." I lied when I realized she was taking it to another level. "Really?" "Yes really!" I replied. "But why then didn't you do anything since we have been talking?" She asked. I quickly discovered that the cleaner was dusting the desks of the classroom that neared the reception in which we had earlier seated, so I used the opportunity to escape "How can I do anything when the cleaner was already sweeping the nearby classroom?" "Yessssss! You are right. I'm so sorry not to have trusted you." She pleaded. "It's alright, I understand your stance."
She brought food and cake that all of us ate with soft drinks. I had my first class I didn't tell her anything, I was thinking of the right moment, I did my second class, I didn't tell her. So before I could go for evening class she was with me in the relaxing room, she didn't see any traces of gift. She said "Segun are you not going to present me any gift for my birthday." I was like "I don't know." She said "But you asked me of what you could buy that I would like and I told you." I said "I thought I could buy that but I wasn't that financially buoyant." "Baby, it is not a must you buy TM LEWIS for me, you can buy anything else, it may not even be cloth." She responded. "I'm sorry I couldn't present you a gift for your birthday this year, I will surely surprise you next year." I lied. "Okay oh as your lordship pleases" She responded. So I left the relaxing spot for my evening class and by the time I could return from the class she had already prepared for home waiting for me.
I called her to the relaxing spot to present her the gift, she jumped up and bounced on me. She couldn't just believe that I bought her TM LEWIS, she kissed and kissed me. She prayed and prayed for me.
Today is March 8, 2010. I had even reached the office before her because I thought she would wear the cloth I bought for her. I was shocked to see that she didn't wear it.
I went to meet her and said "I thought you would wear the cloth I bought for you" She looked at me and said "Which cloth?" I replied by saying "The TM LEWIS of course". She said "Is that your own TM LEWIS." I was like "What do you mean?" She said "My dear, you should have told me it wasn't original TM LEWIS, we wouldn't have been disgraced like that." I said "I don't understand, what you are saying?" Okay, you just sit back, relax while I explain in details.
I didn't open it all because I wanted to surprise my parents and my siblings with the gift, so I called them all to announce that you bought me TM LEWIS. We were all happy and my mom asked me to open it. I opened it for us to discover it was not original TM LEWIS, it was so embarrassing. But I thank God I was able to protect us by saying "May be they had duped him, He might pay the worth of TM LEWIS but received fake cloths unknowingly." My mum said we should return it but I turned her down and gave two of the cloths out immediately to our housemaid. "Thank you my Attorney General but I will really appreciate if you can wear one of the clothes to office for me to see." I responded. "I will try and wear it once and after that I will give them out to people, hope you will not be angry" She said. "It is okay, they're yours. You can do whatever you like with them." I responded. "Thank you my dear, I really appreciate the gift." She added.
May 17, 2010. Kinky called me to my relaxing spot to show me her boobs after she had returned from hospital where she had undertaken surgical operation to remove lump in her breast.
She did it about a week ago. We discovered the lump and she went for its operation straight up. She also informed me about the job she applied for in Lagos. She said "I'm now employed by the company in Lagos I told you about as, Network engineer" I felt happy for her as I hugged her lightly in order not to hurt her wound. Then I asked her "When are you going to write your resignation letter?" She said "I will write it later in the evening." So I said "Should I write it on your behalf?" "I will, don't worry." She replied. She wrote the letter and I helped her with her bag when she was going home in the evening.
