Ola's Wedding
(PART 2 ) by Elizabeth Okon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back then Ola had a sugar daddy, a Chubby looking man above fifty, a medical doctor who took care of all her needs. Ola never lacked anything for all she did was just to ask. One day, she met me in the hostel just immediately I came back from lectures and was sitting on my bunk. With all excitmexci, she hugged me,
" Guess what baby girl "
she said to me
I never knew what made her so excited.
" You know I am not good at guessing "
I replied her with a yawny face.
" Just try na " she insisted. I had to say something even if I don't get it right, to please her.
" Ok! Is it about your new boyfriend? "
" You are almost there " she said to me feeling so proud. " Alright enoien of the guessing, it is about the new man I met, girl he is rich and I know he will definitely help me, if not all, some ". Ola said to me. I was so happy for her but some things were just running through my mind and I let it out.
" Is he married or single? You know this days, you never can tell. Is he a married man? " I asked her.
" He is above fifty and married. It's just for fun and nothing more. I will glew to him as long as he supports and satisfies me. The married, the better" she replied me.
I felt so awful though but tried to force a smile on my face, so she wouldn't feel bad.
" I am happy for you, Ola but at the same time sad that the man is your father's age. Just be careful " I advised her. Well, it wasn't my business anyways, I only cared to enjoy the benefits.
One fateful day, Ola introduced me to her new daddy. I was expecting to see some strange face only to shake hands with my Lecturer, Dr. Uweke. I was really tense though because he wasn't close to me. He didn't even know my name. It wasn't his fault though, I wasn't really outstanding in class. For the first time I met him outside the classroom. He is so simple and jovial unlike the tough Dr. Uweke I see in class and examination hall. In class, he's tough, doesn't smile with students. Student hated him for that. He was so soft to Ola, calls her baby and I wondered if Ola used some spell on him.
