ROMOKE'S DIARY
Chapter 4
"Okay I'll be ready in an hour. Okay 45minutes then? I promise. Okay see you soon." Sewa dropped her phone and looked at me "Please let me borrow the dress now big sis, I'll return it I promise." "Sewa we need to talk right now" I said as I sat beside her on her bed. "I'm so disappointed in you. You don't need all these things you're doing, its too early. You're too young to be having sex or following guys. You need to focus, because for real I don't understand why you….." "Oh my God okay okay I've heard you but please I have to go see this guy at least? Please I'll be careful I promise I'll drop his number with you so you can call in case anything happens. Please sister" She made a face and put her arms around my neck hugging me tight. This girl!!! "Okay fine you can go but you have to be back before 11" I said reluctantly. "Yaaaaaaaaaayyy thanks sis I promise I'll be back early" She hurriedly undressed and rushed into her bathroom to get ready for her date. I glanced at her naked body as she went. Chai!!!! How didn't I notice that this girl has been doing bad things? Nawa oh children of nowadays ahan!!! I called out to her as I left her room. "I'll be in my room if you need me" "Okay sis" she answered from the bathroom.
*An hour later*
"So how do I look?" Sewa stepped into my room looking all sexy. I stared at her figure in my black dress and I realized it looked far better on her than it would ever look on me. Her makeup was well done. This girl don sabi pass me sha! Who would believe she was just 17? "Wow! You look…..hot" I said. Sewa flashed me a big smile "Awwwwwwwwn thank you. I know Cole is gonna die when he sees me tonight. This dress is just perfect I swear. Romoke you're a life saver and I love you!" She started taking pictures and updating her Snapchat story. "But wait o when did you become this good at make up Sewa?" I couldn’t resist asking her. "Oh that! I don't know myself. I just watched some tutorials on YouTube and that was it. I guess I just got better with time, maybe" She shrugged. "Hmmmmmmm you really tried" I said. Her phone rang. "Hello? You're here? OK I'll be downstairs in 2minutes." "Did he come to pick you?" I asked her. "No, that's my Uber. We're going to Marcopolo. Its nothing serious, we're just gonna eat and talk. I've not had Chinese in a while. Okay sis I have to run. Be back ASAP. See ya!" She ran out of the room, blowing me a kiss. "Please be careful for God's sake, Sewa. And keep your phone on .Text me this guy's number now" I shouted after her.
Pheeeww! I sighed 5minutes after she left. Its all my parents' fault. They should never have allowed her go to a boarding school in the first place. Look at what she has turned into now. Growing up, our parents never allowed us go out to check friends or even hang out. We were literally in a cage. It affected me too because when I finally got my freedom in UNILAG, I grabbed the opportunity and used it to the fullest. I've been to virtually all the nightclubs in Lagos both on the mainland and island. I'm not a boring girl. Far from it. I don't smoke weed or do drugs but I take alcohol and I know how to have fun. But when I was 17, I didn’t know half of what Sewa knows now. I was so tiny then, I didn’t even dream of having a boyfriend not to talk of kissing or doing you-know-what. Sewa hasn’t eve resumed into UNILAG and she's already this bad. She'll be worse when she becomes a full 'UNILAG Girl' Chaiii I'm in trouble. I think I should tell Mom so she'll talk to her. But wait, Mom would go straight to her Pastor and the next Sunday they'll use Sewa as the topic of the sermon. I'm so sure of that. Ahhhh. I'll talk to her myself when she gets back tonight.
I hear my phone ringing. Mtcheww its this guy in my class that wont stop disturbing me. He's not that bad looking but he's just a few inches taller than I am. I can even say we're almost the same height. How can I be short and be dating a short guy na? How would the kids look like? Ewwwwww. I ignored his call. Abeg he should leave me alone.
I realize I'm hungry so I go downstairs to the kitchen to make noodles. I'm in the sitting room eating and watching TV when my phone rings again. I hope its not that short boy. Oh its my brother Jibade. I pick up the phone. "Hey JB, how are you?" I said sweetly. "Romoke nawa for you. How many days now you haven't called me haba kinni moshey now? You don't even care that I'm far away in the North where I don't know anyone. Why so wicked?" This boy and his wahala ehn. "I'm sorry JB, you know I'm not like that, its just that I've been very busy. I was preparing for an audition that's why. I've been running around like crazy. Mabinu. How are you doing over there? Our very own corper" I teased him. "Hmmmmm excuses. You and all your numerous auditions all the time nawa. So what is it this time around? Presenting or acting?" "Acting o. There's this TV series they're starting soon so they're looking for young actors and actresses." I told him. "Wow that's huge! So did you get picked or what?" "Errrrrr yes but not exactly. Its actually just the first stage. There's a final one coming up in two weeks. I'll know my fate then" I sighed. "You're just asking me questions you haven't answered my own question. I said how have you been? How's Kastina treating you?" I asked him for the second time. "I'm fine jor where you left me. Anyways, I hope you get picked though so at least we'll be seeing you on TV we'll know that you have one talent after all." He laughed. "You're very sick, you just don't know it yet. When are you gonna be back home? Shebi its 2weeks orientation?" I asked him half heartedly. I don't even want him to come home anytime soon. "Yeah I should be home by Wednesday next week. I'm not sure I'll re-deploy sef I think I might just stay here. Let me have a taste of all these Northern girls" He said excitedly. Thank God please just stay there with your wahala, I thought to myself. "Hmmmm I pity you better don’t go and carry one smelling disease. Ashawo like you!!" I laughed. "Ahan! Smart, sharp guy like me haba Romoke. You don’t even know your brother at all. By the way, what of Sewa? That girl never picks calls I'm tired of her. If na chat now she go reply, but call? Never. She wont pick up. Which kind girl be that one?" Jibade complained. "Don't mind that one jare, you know she doesn’t have manners. She's fine, I even want to talk to you about her sef there's something we really need to … hello? Hello?" The line went dead. "Mtchewww rubbish network. Let me try call him back" I dial his number. Not reachable bawo? Person wey follow me talk now now? I tried it three more times. Same. Nawa!!!! Na real wa!!!!! Anyways I'll chat him up later. I settled back to watch my music videos on SoundCity.
