MY FRIENDS AND I.......... FINAL EPISODE

THE GOOD ONES THAT ARE SLIES TOO
(FINAL PART)

THE FRIENDS YOU'RE CLOSE TO TODAY WILL DRIFT AWAY FROM YOU TOMORROW. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ON YOUR BAD SIDE, IT'S JUST HOW LIFE IS WIRED.

She stopped to look at my reaction, Adetoro, are you okay???

I looked at her and all I did was cry, because I found it very hard to believe, I thought about what exactly I did to deserve that, but nothing reasonable came. As if Sis. Dee read my mind, she asked if I've ever offended Shade to deserve this type of punishment, all I did was nod my head in the negative way and cried even more. Agnes took my phone and called my mum but I didn't know what exactly they spoke about, all I knew I heard my mum said was "Omo Akin ni e, Omo Akin o de kin se ojoo (meaning you're the child of a brave human, and the child of a brave human does not act like a coward)". When we were about to leave sis. dee's house, I was told to act normal like nothing happened, I asked if that was possible and laughed. I cried from sis. dee's house till we got home that night. I couldn't even eat and the worse part was that shade cooked the food, so I just went to bed and slept off. The next day came and all I could do was stare at a blank space, out of this world but I don't know where exactly I was in, all I knew was that I heard my name from afar until someone touched me and it was Agnes, it was time for her to leave for work and she has been calling me to say her goodbye but I didn't hear her.

It was a week to my final exams but I was too weak to read nor go to school, so I just stayed at home for that day praying and hoping that what happened or what I just uncovered wasn't true and also that my exams are postponed, not because I wasn't ready but because my mental health was in disarray. Later that night, I left the house to only God knows where, thank God Agnes followed me, because I was lost in thought and at a point I just sat somewhere and kept thinking where exactly I wronged my friend and Femi.

Sitting all by myself at the far end of my street, I remembered the day Femi called Shade his sweetheart instead of me and the reaction of Agnes towards it as I didn't take it to heart, his actions towards her when she was sick, all the actions that never made sense began to put themselves together like a puzzle and then made a lot of sense to me. I also flashed back to my discussion with him when we were alone, and his assurance that there's nothing that would make him leave me to date my friend. Then I started to look for where those words went to, I just laughed, received my friend's consolation and left for my house.

Life went on normal, Shade still didn't know that I knew she has Femi, so she acted normal and I on the other side felt like strangling her to death but I held my peace and went about my daily activities. Two days later, I called Femi's cousin who was my friend and explained everything to him and I told him what I plan to do. He in turn called Agnes to confirm everything and agreed with what I had in mind to do.
Thankfully, my exams were postponed and that was when I totally pulled myself together, told Agnes that I would like to hold a meeting on Friday (the day the relationship clocked one month), that she should be home as early as she can. Friday came really fast, and I was really happy because I'd be letting the cat out of the bag because it's choking already. 6:00am on Friday, I sent Femi a happy one month anniversary message, "Hey Boo, It's one month today and you've been really amazing, thank you for being very amazing. Please try make it to the house tonight, much love". He replied sweetly and all I did was smile, reminded other people that were supposed to be there and then went about my day as it should be.
7:00pm came and everybody including Shade were around and the meeting started, I really didn't have to say much, so my friends did the talking. The 1st person they asked questions Shade was, "what is between you and Femi?", she said they were dating. "Why?", there was no answer. Femi came in few minutes later, we asked him the same question, his answer was "did I tell you that I love her?, I didn't tell anyone I love shade, it's Toro that I love and I'm in a relationship with", that took everyone of us by surprise. It was none of my own business, but I was curious, and in my curiosity, I asked him "why did you go for her when you didn't love her?", he said he did it because he saw that shade needs attention and that's what he planned to help her with (ose, agba helper), I was mute, no words found its way to my mouth, so I just sat where I was dumbfounded. Anyway, the meeting finished with me ending the relationship right there and then, every other person left and I asked Shade to leave the house for me. Few months later she left and I moved on with my life and got better in everything that I do.

In all of these, I learnt that on no occasion should you do anything outside the will of God for your life, ranging from the kind of friends you move with to the kind of job you find yourself doing, even to the life you live in general. The bible says that "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". So, the earlier you accept the plans of God for you, the better and easy life becomes.
I am here to tell or remind you that God loves you and would not give you more than you can chew, He won't give you more than what you can handle. And yeah, you don't need to go about building relationships that ain't meant for you, sometimes or most times, God just wants us to ask him and wait upon him for even the tiniest things.

I'd write about YOUR CIRCLE in my next post by God's Grace. Until then, I Love You and God Loves You more. Thank You So Much For Reading MY FRIENDS AND I, there will be a season 2 but until then, enjoy God on this space.
