Story of Addiction (Episode 144)

It's an alert of N300k and it's sent by Adedoyin. I connected a call to her and she picked.
Adedoyin: hello Femi.. I hope you are doing fine now?
Me: (pretending by yawning) yes: I'm much okay now. The message tone on my phone woke me up. Thanks for sending me money. I really appreciate it .
Adedoyin: (giggles) it's nothing. I'm just concerned about your well being. It's good to know that you are fine.
Me: (smiling) thank you dear. What about Sarah? Is she not with you?
Adedoyin: no... actually we were together a couple of hours ago before she went to her husbands place. oops, hope she told you that she's still attached to her husband.
Me: (smiling) yes: she did. What about her proposal?
Adedoyin: it seems both of you have a lot of things together. I never expected her to tell you such things.

Me: (sounding confused) how do you mean?
Adedoyin: it's something that she ought to keep to ourselves; besides it's not as if you can help her situation.
Me: (voice saddens) okay.. I now understand you. It's supposed to be just business as usual. That's a very harsh things to say.
Adedoyin: I dint mean it that way Femi. I know that you are very caring but I just did not expected her to divulge things that deep to you.
Me: (unhappy voice) it's nothing... it's not as if I can help her.
What do I even have to offer her? Nothing! Your point is clearer now.
She was about to say something but I ended the call rudely before her words starts forming phrases or clauses. She called back like three times before I eventually picked her call.
Me: hello..
Adedoyin: why do you have to end the call on me like that?
Me: my... my airtime got finished.
Adedoyin: and you have to wait for the third time before picking up. You surprised me.
Me: (voice raised) I just don't want to talk with you for now.
Adedoyin: (voice calm) so it's because of Sarah that you don't want to talk with me.
Me: don't bring Sarah into this. She's not even aware of what's going on right now. It's just between you and I. From now on, I will stop asking of Sarah from you. If I want to ask her anything: I have her number and I will call her.
Adedoyin: (low voice) so you like Sarah more than me?
Me: if I want to go by what you said: I don't like anyone of you asides doing business with her.
Adedoyin: (voice shaking) you are taking it to far Femi....
Me: (Funmilayo enters) I have to go now. My sister just brought in my food; I want to eat and take my drugs.
Adedoyin: okay... tell me you love me.
Me: ooh, my little sister is here now.
Adedoyin: if truly you want me to believe that's your little sister, just tell me you love me or say my name as you ends the call.
Me: (staring at Funmilayo) I love you Adedoyin.
Adedoyin: (giggles) love you too (ends the call) I looked at Funmilayo and I was not surprised when she asked me who was Adedoyin?
Me: (smiling) she is just a very naughty friend. She wants to know if I'm truly with you.
Funmilayo: okay... just take it easy with your female friends, they are getting too much now. Adedoyin again (now smiling)
She was not really convinced: but who cares anyway? I devoured the food and I laid down my head to rest. Funmilayo walked out of the room with the empty plate. I yawned.
I'm feeling sleepy. I looked at my phone and puts it on silent. I slept off. I woke up around 8pm in the evening. As expected, missed calls on my phone. I placed the phone under the pillow and I went to the living room. I met my parents with Funmilayo all seated there. My parents asked about my health.
Me: I'm very fine now. Funmilayo can go to school tomorrow.
Chidinma can babysits me tomorrow.
Mummy: okay, that's very good.
My dad gave me N5000: incase I needed to buy anything. I collected the money and thanked him like I really needed the money. I sat with them and we chatted on family issues.
