Discarding happiness to get happiness is an Irony that is underrated. I didn't even let the phone ring so much as I tapped the button to receive Nene's call.
Internally, I felt so much joy as I answered the call.
"Hi Tee", Nene responded first.
"Fine, girl", I replied.
"Please can you help me call your mechanic, so he can come and fix the car," Nene asked?
"Yes, Nene," I concurred.
In my state of confusion, I called her Nene instead of the fine girl because I expected her to call me over to assist her in whatever she wanted or for company.
Nene dropped the call after I assured her that I would call Tony.
The moment Nene hung the call, I called Tony.
As the phone rang, Tony answered quickly,
"OgaTenny, I greet you," Tony spoke in his usual jovial way.
"Bro, how are you? Hope the rain no keep you for house?" I asked Tony
"No o oga, I dey workshop already. I need to work, so I go carry Blessing go BOUNCING STAR this night," Tony responded.
I laughed as I responded,
"Na enjoyment you dey o, meanwhile, I need you to come carry car for my place."
"OK, oga Tenny, I dey come." He affirmed.
As the call ended, I decided to go and knock on Nene's door to see if I could get a chance to render any service since she didn't invite me when she called earlier.
I took the bull by the horn, using the option of telling her the feedback I got from Tony.
"If the bull horn wan wound me, make e wound me,"
I said to myself as I tapped gently on Nene's door. I heard a masculine voice, but I wasn't sure if it was from the television or the radio inside Nene's sitting room. At this point, I hoped it was the television.
"Yes, who's at the door," the masculine voice responded to the gentle tap on the door as he opened to the door to check.
'Good afternoon,' I greeted.
'Afternoon,' replied the voice.
'I'm looking for Nene, please,' I said
'Nene! Nene! He called. Someone is looking for you,'
He said in a tone Nene heard as he moved back to the couch with the door open as I stood in a sculpted form. I watched him sitting comfortably with his legs lying straight on the sofa and concentrating on the 'Zee World' channel.
(Zee World is an English-Bollywood entertainment pay television channel in South Africa. It was launched on 3 February 2015)
I was already boiling inside of me, so many thoughts on my mind as I began to murmur,
"Why this girl go tell me to call mechanic for her when she get boyfriend for house? Na wa, I don suffer....and see as him dey, grown up man dey watch zee world." At this point, I was jealous as my mind was biased.
"Oh, Tenny," Nene called as she approached the door where I was standing. I wasn't interested in going inside her house anymore because I had no idea who the guy was. Even as she called me Tenny instead of Tee, I wondered if the rain that beat her earlier made her think differently.
"I called Tony already, and he is on his way," I summoned courage in the heat of my annoyance to speak to her without my anger in view.
"Oh, that's nice of you. You should have just called instead of stressing yourself."
As she talked to me, the guy left the sitting room for the bedroom. He was in short and singlet, while Nene was in singlet and short, revealing some points on her chest.
Thoughts were already running through my head for the second time when I saw what Nene was wearing. I had concluded that the guy had already heated Nene. That's why she wasn't shivering anymore.
"When Tony arrives, I'll let you know," I said as I walked back to my flat, with Nene responding, "thank you, Tenny."
