The Secret Diaries 18


“Decided to prank him?" I couldn’t help finishing for her.
What? I couldn’t resist the temptation.
Her tea cup stopped still on its way to her mouth…and she stared at me, a look of surprise. It didn’t faze me.
“What? Wasn’t that what you were about to say?” I added.

“No.” she said, matter-of-fact then took a long sip as I stared at her…enjoying making me wait.
 “I was about to tell you the whole story.” She finally said.
“Oh.” I said, in a pretend interested tone. “Which is?”
“He hasn’t seen her in a long time.”
“Who? Lola?”

“Ah, so you know her name.” Kendra said smiling and I rolled my eyes at her.
 “Anyways, I’m talking years. They dated for a while, yes. He even wanted to marry her so he proposed…at a waterfall…he said they had been doing some exploring and somehow found themselves at the Erin-Ijesha waterfall…it must have felt like the perfect moment…the sun must have been setting at that point, giving the area an orange romantic…”

“Kendra.” I said, pulling her out of whatever world she was in. “You’re diverting from the story.”
“No…that was part of the story.” She said.
“Then go straight to the point.” I took a seat and began to eat. “You can dream  later.”

She rolled her eyes at me playfully then continued.

 “They were engaged but she went abroad and found someone new.”
She became serious.
 “ He saw the signs, the pictures, the always busy…hell he was busy too but he made sure to contact her everyday…and others stuff. He confronted her but she wouldn’t tell him at first then one day, he broke up with her to see if what he thought was true. She didn’t seem to mind, in fact, she made her relationship with the new dude public.”

“If that’s what happened…” I interrupted her. “why didn’t he tell me?”
“You didn’t give him a chance to.”
“Really? Or because he needed the time to cook it up?”
I made my bread and egg into a sandwich and took a bite.
“He didn’t look like he was lying.” She said and got up to clear her side on the table. “Plus, why would he lie to you at this point if he’s really getting married to her?”
“He didn’t lie to me, he lied to you.”
“And if you I know you well…” I continued. “You know how to add a lot of spice to a simple story.”

Her laughter rang out real loud as she rinsed her cup.
“This is serious stuff Bibi…no spice this time.”

She left me in the kitchen a little confused and trying to wrap the story around my head. It seemed too simple to be true. I mean, how had she gotten into the house? Okay maybe the gateman knew her and let her in.

I tried again.


To be cont'd...

How Well Do You Know Your Telephone History?

Have you ever wondered how you could just pick up this small device and talk through it to someone else, miles and miles away from you and hear them as clearly as if they were sitting on the same couch as you? I have wondered that a lot. I have wondered who could have stumbled on the idea that something could be done to make people who live far away from each other to communicate with each other by voice. How did the person get the idea? Well, here's what i found... Two men, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray stumbled on the idea; maybe around the same time, I don't know, but they both filed for a patent on the same day. This caused a huge disagreement that led to a legal battle to find who to be awarded the patent for the invention of the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell won. His lawyer had filed for a patent a few hours before Elisha's lawyer filed for his own patent. One day, in an electrical shop, Alexander Graham Bell was trying to perfect a method for sending mes...

I met a man once - The bad?

Hi guys, it's been  months since I updated my blog... It's been a busy 1 year for me and I'm proud of myself and the woman I've become. A friend of mine reminded me a few days ago, of how grown I have become, especially mentally and in my writing skill. I didn't take her seriously until she mentioned my blog. You can't be surprised that i decided to take a look at it this morning only to become nostalgic.  It reminded me of a lot of things but more than that, I can see the flaws in some of the things I've written, and I'm grateful that I am at a point in my career where I can actually spot all of it with ease and create several ways I could have done it better...on the spot! Before I get any more emotional 😎 I stumbled on the last draft I saved for publishing in February of last year and I'm going to share it with you guys exactly as I left it back then.  Read On... "Some of us know how we can feel a lot of different emotions for just one perso...

I Met A Man Once (2)

  A few months after it started, even though i was still scared about making a wrong decision. He-who-must-not-be-named! was the only man i had my eyes on. I didn't want him to have an idea that i was falling for him incase he took advantage of that information. I was firm in my resolve that i was still going to take my time to get to "yes" to his request no matter how much i wanted everything a relationship entailed with him. Yet, i remembered a singles & dating sermon i watched once that talked about not letting the person go, as long as they added value to your life. So i wrote down the next few lines in my notebook.   ''How does he make me feel?  Secure, complete, confident, not just excited but emotionally energized when we talk, when he holds my hands or when he touches me. He inspires me. Makes me feel like there is nothing I cannot accomplish every time he's encouraging my work or telling me I can do it. What about the day he told me about m...
