    đŸ‘«đŸ’ž Romeo And Violet Chapter Six:

    A few weeks after Violet and her family moved into the city, I went to meet her. I hadn’t really talked to her since the last day we met at our house with her family. Her elder brother and his wife worked at the mission hospital, so, it was easy for me to locate them, since they lived in the mission compound in the city. There was network in the city and a friend of mine had been able to get Violet’s number for me. I called her and she agreed that we meet.

    “Violet, glad to meet you again.” I began as soon as we were seated at a popular bar in town called Bamboo Bar.

    “On the contrary, I am not glad to meet you. You are a very bad boy.”

    “Bad boy? What have I done?” I asked, bewildered.

    “You have gotten me pregnant and now you are trying to turn things around. You are trying to deny it.”

    “Don’t say that, Violet. I was ready to accept this pregnancy until things got complicated. There is talk of you already being pregnant before we met. What can you say about that?”

    “Who told you? I wasn’t pregnant before I met you. That is just a smear campaign to disrepute me and make me look bad. Your mum is the one leading the campaign.” She said, angrily.

    “Never you accuse my mum of such a thing. My mum missed her calling. She was supposed to be police. She is very good at investigating and she has her sources, reliable sources.”

    “I don’t care. Your mum hates me. She doesn’t just find me worthy for a daughter in law. I am sure it’s because I haven’t continued schooling after my primary education.” She said in anger.

    “Don’t say that! Don’t say that! My mum doesn’t make choices for me. I chose you and if I was convinced or let me say, if I am convinced that the baby you are carrying in your stomach is mine, I will gladly accept. But as it stands now, things don’t add up. You said you were four months pregnant. My mum’s investigations proved that you are six months pregnant. Yesterday, my mum came to the city with an update. She said according to her friend who is a midwife at the maternity in the village, you are eight months pregnant. That means you will be putting to bed anytime soon, and that makes sense because you already look so developed.” I narrated.

    She sat quiet. I continued.

    “If everything is true, means you had been sleeping with someone else before we met. Now, tell me. Did you continue to sleep with him after you and I had met me?”

    “Nevertheless!!” She exclaimed. “I haven’t met with anyone since I started sleeping with you.”

    “What do you mean by ‘nevertheless? That’s wrong English. ‘Nevertheless’ doesn’t me ‘no’. You use that word when you are trying to give another side to a point.” I was correcting her English in spite of the tense situation.

    “I beg, leave me alone. I am not as educated as you. At least you understood what I said.”

    “Okay, I will be leaving now. It was a pleasure talking to you.” I said, getting up from my seat.

    “You are leaving enh? When you were spreading my legs from Oshodi to Obutemeta you didn’t make any complaints. Now that it has happened, you are trying to run away from your responsibility.” She was fuming so much that she drew the attention of everyone at the bar.

    She was so mad that I decided to excuse myself and quietly walk away. However, she got up from her chair and blocked my way. To avoid any further embarrassment, I decided to sit down. After I had seated down, she continued.

    “Now, listen to me. Forget about all those your stories. This child is yours and nothing can change that. If your mum likes, let her become an FBI agent for all I care. Nothing will change.”

    She got up from her seat, and in classic ‘stubborn girl style’, poured her remaining drink on my head and left.

    A week later, she put to bed. I was informed by one of their new neighbours who happened to be someone I knew. She delivered a baby boy, and it was highly rumored that the child was my exact replica. I refused to believe and concluded that the brains of the people who saw the resemblance needed to be formatted.

    I didn’t spend a dime to prepare for the coming of the child. That was because the pregnancy was highly disputed. There were new rumours that she had other boys in the village, aside from her main village guy, and any of them could have been responsible for the pregnancy.

    In my school, the information had already filtered in that my girlfriend has just put to bed. Everyone started calling me ‘Pa Boy’. Some people called me ‘Responsible Man’. Back in the village, it was a general topic of discussion. Everyone thought the child was mine. That was the narrative her brother’s wife had made in the village before they were transferred to town, and it had spread widely.

    However, it is said that in every dark cloud, there is a silver lining. It was the rumours in the village that helped to unravel the mystery of the pregnancy. Village people by nature know a lot about each other. They could be stingy with you in every aspect but not information. Someone who knew about Violet’s pregnancy heard that I was being held responsible for it became very angry and decided to come to our house to reveal something none of us knew about. I was never to know something like that had transpired until my mother paid another visit the city.

    “Responsible man, how are you?” My mom said. I know she was making fun of me.

    “Mom, please, stop it.” I said, laughing.

    “You came close to being a dad. However, the whole truth has been revealed.”

    “What do you mean, mom? I don’t understand.”

    “You were not the one responsible for Violet’s pregnancy. It had been a setup all along.”

    “What? Who is responsible then?” I was very anxious.

    “When you met her, she was already four months pregnant. However, you didn’t know. I can’t blame you for that, you are still naïve and young. You went and was arranging someone’s baby.” She laughed.

    “Stop it, mom.” I said in mock reproach. “So, tell me. Who is responsible?”

    “Their neighbour. When they discovered that she was pregnant, by then she was just two months gone, they interrogated her, and she revealed that she had been sleeping with their highly promiscuous married neighbour. Her elder brother and his wife then confronted the neighbour and he accepted. However, he was an important man in the village and wanted to save his reputation. So, he bribed Violet’s parents, and they convened a meeting and told her she would have to look for someone to pin the pregnancy on. They were all in on the conspiracy.”

    “OMG!! Mom, that’s how I came into the story.”

    “Yes, my poor son. They conspired against you as you too could not control that your thing. You fell for the trap and you were held responsible.” My mum concluded.

    I was confused.

    “So, mom, it doesn’t add up. Why all the fuss and all the meetings they were having with us?” I asked my mom.

    “It was all a façade. They were just pretending. You are free now. Concentrate on your upcoming exams and keep your willy in your zipper. Next time, you won’t escape so easily.” My mom advised.

    “So, what have they done to the man who is responsible for her pregnancy?” I asked.

    “That is their business. The story is everywhere. I will be very happy if his wife peppers him. He is very notorious. I hear he sleeps with all the girls around, even his house helps. Now, go and get me a glass of water.”

    Everything now made sense to me. Her falling for me so easily, the fact that her brother kept refusing to be at our meetings, the fact that she claimed that her parents were not bothering her about the pregnancy, though it was already fully developed. It all made sense now.

    I promised myself that I was going to see her one last time. I wanted to see that her beautiful but lying face. However, that was not to be, the rumour about her being pregnant for a married man spread so wide that her parents asked her elder brother to send her to his own village. She left the following week, even before I could arrange a meeting with her. It’s been nineteen years now and I have never seen her again.

    THE END…!!!

    đŸ‘«đŸ’ž Romeo And Violet Chapter Five:

    I wasn’t shocked because I knew it was going to happen sooner than later. I was however depressed and hated myself to have put my parents in a situation like that. I told my brother that I need to pack my books. He mounted his bicycle and left. I went back to class, got my things ready and went home. When I got home, I couldn’t find my mum. I was told she had gone back to the village already. I changed into a regular dress immediately and went to the village.

    When I got to our village home, I met my dad sitting in his favourite sofa in the living room. He was reading a book and when he saw me, he stopped reading, removed his reading glasses and motioned me to sit down.

    “Good evening, Dad.”

    “Good evening, my son. How are you?”

    “I am good, dad. How are you, too?”

    “I am alive and that is enough for me.”

    “Where’s mum?” I asked.

    “She went out to see someone. I know you came because of the issue at hand. Now, tell me the truth. Are you responsible for the pregnancy?”

    “I don’t know, dad. It’s possible because the rubber punctured during one of the times we were making out. So, I really don’t know. It depends on how old the pregnancy is.” I explained to my dad.

    “Let me advise you, Son. If you are responsible for it, and you are sure you are the one, then accept the pregnancy. Don’t be afraid. Have you heard?”

    “Yes, dad.”

    “Good”

    Just then, my mum walked in. I greeted her but she ignored me. She instead told my father that the Violet’s parents said they would be coming to see us at 6:00 PM. She told my dad to be prepared because we didn’t know what the outcome would be. My dad was an easy going man and things like that didn’t worry him.

    It was a about a few minutes past six o’clock when the small delegation of Violet’s family showed up. Her elder brother refused to come. Instead, it was her elder brother’s wife and two of their neighbours who came with her. My mum offered seats to them and they made themselves comfortable. The first person to speak was my father.

    “I welcome you all to my home. What we are about to talk about involves children; children who are still teenagers. Therefore, I pray that whatever we discuss here, we should bear that in mind that, we were once all kids and things like these are not uncommon.”

    Everyone agreed.

    Before he could continue, the wife of Violet’s elder brother intervened and asked that we pray first. Everyone agreed. After we had prayed, the meeting proper began.

    “Now, Mister.” That was my mum talking. “Do you know this girl here?” She was talking about Violet.

    “Yes, mum.”

    “Have you been dating her?”

    “Yes, mum”

    “How many times have you people slept together?”

    “Two times, but I used con
”

    “Shut up!” My mum shouted “No one has asked you what you used. At your young age, you are already sleeping with girls and you are not even ashamed of yourself.”

    I stayed quiet.

    “Where is the Massa?” It was Violet’s aunt talking. “Why are you hiding behind there? Go and meet your wife. I thought you people were adults and could do adult things?”

    I was asked to go and sit by her. I went there grudgingly. I was bare body and was heavily reprimanded for that. I went into the bedroom and got a T-Shirt.

    “Now, you have heard your son, Madam.” Violet’s aunt said. “So, what can you say?”

    “How old is the pregnancy?” My mum asked.

    “Six months.”

    “But my son said they had been dating for just four months. That means he cannot be the one responsible.” My mum argued.

    There was total pandemonium as a huge quarrel had broken out. There were accusations and counter accusations and the whole place was in an uproar. I felt so bad that I had to make my parents go through that. My dad tried to call the women to order to no avail. They were busy contesting whose voice would rise high above the other.

    Finally, my dad succeeded to calm everyone down and it was agreed that the meeting would be postponed to another day. Violet’s relations all left, walking in a single file and talking amongst themselves. I was asked to go back to the city that same evening because I had to be in school the next day.

    The long-awaited meeting had come and gone. I felt a bit relieved but there were some things that bothered my mind. Firstly, why didn’t Violet’s elder brother, who was like a father to him, come to the meeting? Secondly, why did Violet’s aunt propose that we pray in a meeting like that? Thirdly, why didn’t my mother scold me like I had feared she would? I was someone who liked to look at things critically. As a result, my mind was deeply disturbed by those questions and I wanted answers to them.

    Two days later, my mum came to the city. She said she had done her investigations and had been told that Violet was already pregnant even before we met. I didn’t know who to believe, so, I decided to let my mum handled the wahala while I concentrated on my exams which were around the corner. I decided that I would stay away for the village for as long as possible. I didn’t want to have any more confrontations with either Violet or her family.

    Haven made that decision, I put the whole thing behind me and hoped my mum handled everything in my stead. But that was not to be. A week later, I was reliably informed that Violet’s elder brother and his wife had both been transferred to the city. That meant Violet was coming to live in the city where our paths would most likely cross again. Why did life decide to treat me like that?

    đŸ‘«đŸ’ž Romeo And Violet Chapter Four:

    “Young man, you had the guts, the effrontery, the temerity to come right into my daughter’s bedroom to look for her?” He said, the gun still pointing at me.

    “I am sorry, Sir. She asked me to come in because she is sick and couldn’t come outside to see me. I have nothing with her, Sir. She is just a friend.” I explained, desperately.

    “What’s your name?” He asked, lowering the pistol.

    “Romeo”

    “Now, I understand why you had the bile to come right into my home to look for my daughter. I am sure you know what happened to Shakespeare’s Romeo. Do you want to end up the same way?”

    “No, Sir.”

    “Now, be gone and I never want to see you again. Get out!!!”

    I bolted out of her bedroom, through their living room and out of the front door. I ran all the way home. I couldn’t take the risk to stop running. I thought he was chasing me. When I got to my neighbourhood, I stopped running and started walking normally. I didn’t have the energy to answer any questions from my mother should she see me running and started asking questions.

    When I was finally settled at home, I started analyzing the situation. I had just come close to being shot by a soldier with many years of combat experience under his belt. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have accepted Sylvie’s invitation to go into her bedroom, in spite of the fact that she was sick. But I needed help. I had gotten Violet pregnant and needed to eradicate it before anyone realizes. What was I going to do? I was scared and running out of options by the second. I did not know what to do and had no one to confide in.

    The next day, I went to see Violet. I told her I wasn’t able to get any positive results from Sylvie. Hence, we might have to go with her concoction idea. She agreed and assured me that she was going to take it that night. I went home feeling a bit relieved. In my innocent and naïve mind, I was happy that by the next day, everything would be settled.

    The next day, I wasn’t able to see Violet. But I didn’t bother much because I was thinking that the pregnancy had been terminated. Two days later, I went back to the city without even saying goodbye to her. I had made up my mind never to have anything to do without any village girl ever again. Now that the pregnancy had been terminated, or so I thought, it was time for me to be more careful with my decisions.

    It had been about two months now and I hadn’t even talked to Violet. I was in the city, schooling. I knew my village adventures were over. I didn’t know that I was in for a big surprise. There was another event that required the people in the surrounding villages to come to the city for the celebration. I was sure Violet would show up because she was the one running her brother’s ice cream business. When I went to the ice cream line, I saw her. What I saw shocked me to the core. The pregnancy had fully developed. She looked bulky and her colour was glowing.

    My heart sank. Violet was still pregnant. That could mean only one thing. She hadn’t taken the concoction. She had surely chickened out at the last minute, because she had given all assurances that she was going to take it. My day was immediately spoilt. As she didn’t have many customers at that time, I moved closer to her.

    “Is that thing still there?” I asked in coded language.

    “Yes”

    “Why?”

    “I don’t know.”

    “For heaven’s sake, Violet!! Didn’t you take the concoction?”

    “I didn’t”

    “Why?”

    “I got scared. I was afraid I was going to die. Please, you have to understand.” She explained.

    “OMG!! You already look so big. Looks like you can put to bed any moment from now. Haven’t your parents noticed?” I asked, sweating.

    “They have”

    “What have they said? Have they interrogated you? Have they asked who is responsible for the pregnancy?” I quizzed her.

    “They haven’t, but I sure they will do that sooner than later.”

    I was very disappointed. Why did Violet do such a thing. That meant any moment from now, my parents would find out. Everyone would find out and trouble would start. I didn’t wait for the celebrations to be over. I had suddenly lost interest in everything. I turned around and went straight home,

    Three weeks later, I still hadn’t heard from Violet’s parents. For a start, it didn’t seem normal to me that with such an already fully developed pregnancy, her parents had not yet created any fuss. They hadn’t even questioned her. It didn’t seem okay to me. Things didn’t seem to add up. Could it be that there was some foul play somewhere? What was really happening? Were her parents just so callous or were they taking their time?

    Whatever my answers to those questions were, one thing remained certain. I was spending sleepless nights. Everything scared me. I flinched at everything. I was living one day at a time, waiting for the day the issue would come up, for I was sure it definitely would. I hardly ever ate. I lived with my uncle in the city and each time he came home and said he had received news from my parents back in the village, I got scared and thought it was the Violet issue. I felt like Christopher Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus, trying to hold back the time.

    One day, I stayed back after school so as to study for a while before going home. I hadn’t been able to concentrate all day because of the issue. At the end of the school day, when almost every other student had gone home, except for a few, I stayed back to do some catching up.

    My head was deeply buried in my Geography notebook when one of my classmates told me that someone was looking for me. I raised my head and saw that it was my elder brother. He had come to our school on a rented bicycle because there were no okadas in the village back then. My heart fell in my stomach. What was my brother doing in our school at that time of the day? What could be so urgent that he wouldn’t wait for me to come home? I was sure that it was because of Violet. OMG!!! I was finished. Everything had been revealed.

    I left the classroom and went out to meet my elder brother. He was standing under a tree at the center of our school. The bicycle he brought was leaning on the tree trunk. I moved close to him and realized that his eyes were red. My brother’s eyes were always read when he was worried and troubled.

    “Good evening, brother. What brings you to our school?”

    “Good evening. Mum has come. She says I should come to the school and get you immediately.”

    “Is anything the matter?” I asked, barely able to stand upright.

    “Yes, she wants you to accompany her to the village. They say you have gotten someone’s daughter pregnant.”

    đŸ‘«đŸ’ž Romeo And Violet Chapter Three:

    She covered her eyes with both of her palms because she was shy. When I had finished taking off her clothes, I used them as a cushion on the soft saw dust and she laid down on her back. I took off mine, got the protection I had with me and fitted it. It didn’t fit well because I was still too young, and my Local Government Area was not well developed. However, that didn’t stop me. I got on her and we began the main business of the day. All the while, I kept fearing that a snake could crawl out of the bushes and sting one of us.

    The next day, I went back to the city. School had resumed and that meant I wasn’t going to see her in months. Back then, there were no mobile telecommunication network in the village. However, something happened that made me to see her again, this time, not in the village but in the city. It was the Independence Day celebrations. Most of the people from the neighbouring villages flocked into the city for the celebrations. She had hinted that she would be coming but I hadn’t taken her seriously. Her elder brother produced ice cream so, she had told me she was going to come and sell and the ceremonial grounds.

    It was Independence Day. Everyone was dressed in their very best and there were lots of different activities going on at different parts of the grounds. Nothing interested me, however. All I wanted to see was Violet. So, I went straight to the area where the ice cream machines were lined, hoping to see her. My heart leapt with joy when I spotted her from afar. When I got close, she saw me too and smiled broadly. There were too many customers to attend to so, we couldn’t really talk to each other very well. However, we did talk with our eyes.

    “Glad to see you again, babe.” That was me.

    “Me, too.”

    “I can see you are busy.”

    She nodded.

    “Will I see you later?” I asked with my eyes.

    “When I am done selling, I will look for you.”
    She gesticulated, winked and then smiled.

    Three hours later, she was done selling. I took her to Eric’s one bedroom apartment for us to catch up on old times. We were in the heat of it when I realized that the feeling had become different. It seemed to be more pleasurable. I pulled out and checked the protection I was wearing and realized that it had burst.

    Thankfully, I had not released. I got another one, put it on and continued. After we were done, we went to the bath, bathed, dressed up and I took her to the bus stop where she got a bus and went back to the village. I was very happy that I had been able to spend time again with her. However, my happiness wasn’t complete. I kept worrying about the fact that the condom had burst. I was afraid that something might have got in. I nevertheless consoled myself with the thought that I hadn’t released when it burst.

    Two months later, it was another holiday again. I went to the village excited to see Violet again. However, this time things were different. On my first night in the village, I asked Chris, our middleman to go get her for me. Chris came back and told me that she would not be able to come, but she had however, told him to tell me that I should come to the back of their house and hide behind their kitchen. She would join me there.

    Thirty minutes later, I was at the back of their kitchen, inconspicuously concealed behind a small bush. I waited for about ten minutes, then I saw her coming. She acted like she was going behind the kitchen to relieve herself, but she was actually coming to see me. I stealthily left my hiding place and we hugged.

    “I thought you were never going to come.” I whispered.

    “Why won’t I?”

    “It’s alright, so, how have you been?” I asked?

    “Not good, I must be honest.”

    “What is the matter??” I was afraid of the answer.

    “I seem to be pregnant.”

    “What? How did you know?” My heart was beating fast, and my legs were wobbling.

    “My menses has skipped. It’s very unlikely for it to skip. My menses is always very regular.”

    “OMG!! What are we going to do now? I am finished.” I lamented. “I think we should abort it.”

    “I agree with you.” She spoke. “But how do we do it?”

    I was speechless. No ideas came into my mind. My LGA that had already stood, hoping that I might take a fast one behind the kitchen had slowly fallen back into place. In my mind, I went through a list of my friends, and I tried to see which one could be of help. I decided I would contact one female friend of mine. Her name was Sylvie. I decided to go see her that same night before it was too late.

    “I have to leave you now.” I told Violet. “I need to go check someone.”

    “You are not serious. Are you?”

    “I am very serious. Don’t worry, the person I am going to see is in relation to the abortion. I will give you the necessary feedback tomorrow.”

    “Alright, but before you go, I told this to a friend of mine, and she told me she will give me a concoction to drink.” She spoke.

    “Are you sure it will work?” I asked, skeptically.

    “I don’t know, I will just give it a try.”

    “Anyway, just hold on to that for now. Let me see Sylvie first. If the meeting with her doesn’t amount to anything, you can then take the concoction.” I explained.

    I was at Sylvie’s house now. I stood on the verandah and asked her younger brother to tell her I was around. She told her younger brother to tell me that she was sick and couldn’t leave her room. She requested that I met her in her bedroom. Now, Sylvie’s father was a military man. He was a soldier in the army and was at home for a short break during that period. However, he was not home so I went into the house and into Sylvie’s bedroom. Not that I wasn’t afraid. I was very scared but Sylvie told me not to worry.

    I was sitting beside her bed now, telling her about the whole issue, when suddenly, I noticed someone was standing by the doorway. I looked up and to my greatest disappointment and fear, it was her father. There was a deep frown on his face, and he had a pistol in his hand and the barrel of the pistol was pointed directly to my head.

    I froze

    đŸ‘«đŸ’ž Romeo And Violet Chapter TWO:

    I was at the public tap waiting and hoping that violet would come to fetch water so that I could see her. However, she seemed not to have any plans of coming. I was getting frustrated but didn’t know what to do. I was not alone at the tap, I had come there with my neighbour’s son, Chris. He was about ten years old but very smart. I decided I would ask Chris to go to her neighbourhood and see if he could catch a glimpse of her. However, I was spared from doing that because I saw her coming from a distance. She was wearing a sexy mini skirt and a fitting T shirt.

    “Good evening, Violet.” I said as soon as she reached the tap.

    “Good evening.”

    “I thought you would never come. I was getting worried.”

    “What do you mean by that?” She asked. “We had no plans of meeting.”

    “Never mind.” I said. “The important thing is that you are here.”

    She eyed me suspiciously from the corner of her eyes and then proceeded to fill her container. When she was done, I continued.

    “Can I ask you a question?”

    “Yes.”

    “You know I like you, don’t you?”

    “I have noticed.”

    “I am hoping that you should like me, too.” I ventured.

    “Hmm!!”

    “Please say something.”

    “What do you really want?” She asked, staring at me straight in the eyes, her hands at akimbo.

    “I was hoping, I mean I want you to be my girl.” I told her.

    “You really want that?” She asked, her head in a curious angle.

    “I do, you are such a beautiful girl. You are also very kind. Please don’t say no.” I urged.

    “Are you in any relationship?” She asked.

    “Nope, in just a few days, I will be seventeen. How could I possibly be in a relationship?”

    “What if I get pregnant?”

    “We will be careful, please just say yes.”

    “Alright, I agree. I will be your girlfriend.”

    I was very happy that she had finally accepted. She claimed to be single but deep in me, I knew I had just snatched a village guy’s babe and it might be the beginning of trouble for me. Since it was dark, we had our first kiss and then separated. The next day, I couldn’t wait to see her again. I sent Chris to go tell her that I would love to see her later in the day. However, she told Chris to tell me that she was not available. She said she would send for me when the coast is clear.

    It had been a month now and we had been seeing each other almost every three days. We hadn’t made love yet. We just met, spoke, hugged, kissed and left. One day, my mum sent me to go give food to a relative of ours who had been admitted to the hospital. I was passing through a ward when someone called me. I halted momentarily to see who was calling and I noticed it was one of my former class mates. His name was Nelson and he was now a village guy.

    “Good afternoon, Romeo.”

    “Good afternoon, Nelson. What is wrong with you? Why are you in a hospital bed?” I asked.

    “I was involved in a bike accident. I didn’t take it seriously, hoping the pains would subside. However, it got serious and I had to be brought here. Anyway, that’s not why I called you. I heard you have been seeing my girlfriend. Please, let her go. I can’t drag her with you. I know you students have an upper hand and a fair advantage.”

    “Who are you talking about?” I asked, though I already knew the answer.

    “I am talking about Violet. She belongs to me, please.”

    “Oh!!, Violet? That one? Forget her na, bro. I own her now. You are in the hospital and you should be thinking about getting better and not about a woman; a woman who has already left you.” I said, laughing.

    “It’s not fair what you guys do.” He said, angrily. “You come to the village during the holiday, get the girls pregnant with your empty pockets and big English, then go back and leave us to take care of the pregnancies.”

    “Boy, forget. Go and tell that to the girls. They love city guys and by the way, no one is getting pregnant here. We are not as careless as you, village guys.

    I left his hospital bedside and went home. At about 7:00 PM, I was sitting in front of our house with my sisters and other neighbours when I seemed to notice someone like Violet pacing on the road. She seemed to be looking for a way to get my attention. However, I wasn’t very sure she was the one so, I kept my cool. About fifteen minutes later, a friend of mine called Eric, who was also a city guy came to our house and told me that Violet wanted to see me.

    I left the house excitedly and went to the roadside to meet her. We met in a tight embrace.

    “I wasn’t expecting you. What are you doing here? It’s late and you can run into trouble back home.” I was worried.

    “Calm down Mr. Man. I was missing you and decided to come and see you. Is that a wrong thing for me to do?” She asked, slightly irritated.

    “No, it’s alright, as long as it is fine with you.”

    I noticed that she wanted something. For her to have taken that kind of a risk to leave their strict home at night, just to come and see me meant she wanted something. I held her hand and pulled her towards me. She came without any hesitation. Our mouths met in a kiss and I liked the scent of her breath. It was very fresh. I wanted to make love to her and I know she badly wanted it too. However, we were both still teenagers and still lived with family. We had no convenient place to carry out our affairs. So, what were we going to do?

    I remembered that a lumber had felled a tree behind our house and there was an abundance of saw dust there. I decided that that would serve nicely as a bed. I took her hand and led her towards that place. There was a faint moon shining overhead, providing just enough light for us to make our way through the bushy footpath. When we got there, I pulled her close and removed her blouse.

    đŸ‘«đŸ’ž Romeo And Violet Chapter One:

    I was only sixteen years old and in the fifth year in the secondary. I lived with my uncle in a neighbouring town where I schooled because there were no secondary schools in those days in the village. As a result, young boys and girls in the village envied those who schooled in town. It was a rare privilege back then. Those of us who lived and schooled in town used the holiday period to flex in the village and speak big English, thereby intimidating the poor village folks.

    The holiday was the worst time for village guys. That was because, they were very sure of losing their village girlfriends to the students who had come for holiday. The guys worked extremely hard to keep their girls. However, they always failed because the village girls always got carried away by the swagger of the students from town. The students dressed well, spoke big English and sang all the latest Western Hip Hop and Naija Afro Beats. I was one of these students and this is my story.

    I had arrived the village immediately my school closed. I had communicated with my friends and we arranged to hit the village the same day. It was late in the evening when we got to the village. My friends headed for their various houses while I went to mine. My younger sisters and my mum were very pleased to see me. My sisters, especially, couldn’t wait to have me back at home. That was because I always made them merry. I was that kind of person who couldn’t pass you by the corridor without pulling your ears or cracking a joke. They loved my company.

    One morning, my mum woke me early and asked me to go and fetch water from the public tap. I took two twenty liters containers and went to the tap. When I got there, I met a girl of about my own age who had come to fetch water, too. However, because I was a male and stronger, I intimidated her and told her I was going to fill my containers before she filled hers though she got there a few seconds before me, and it was her logical right to fetch before me. She didn’t want any trouble from me, so, she agreed. I was happy that I had intimidated her, but I was in for a little surprise.

    The public tap had this type of faucets that required you to press it at the top for the water to flow. When I stood my container on the ground, I was going to start pressing the tap for it to flow when the girl interrupted. She said she was going to help me do it. I was confused. Was it not that same girl whom I had just maltreated? I was expecting her to be angry with me. What was happening? Why has she instead decided to do me a favour. My conscience almost killed me as I stood there waiting for my containers to be filled while she pressed the tap for me.

    After she was done, I took my containers away and started walking home. I couldn’t even look into her eyes. She had just taught me a very good lesson in life. A lesson I haven’t forgotten to this day. She taught me never to pay evil for evil. I went home feeling guilty and promised myself that if fate allows it, someday, I was going to make it up to her by apologizing.

    The next day, in the evening, my mum announced to everyone that we would be going to the farm the following morning. I hated going to the farm, not because I was lazy, but because the farm was too far. Each time my mum announced that we were going to the farm the next day, I spent the whole night grieving and imagining myself walking such a long distance, carrying a big bag of casava on my head.

    Well, it was my regular job to fetch water whenever I was at the village. But then, my mum had announced we were going to the farm the following morning, and we would be needing water to wash and soak the casava we would harvest from the farm. That meant I had to fetch water that night instead of the following morning. I took my favourite two twenty liters containers and went to the public tap. As fate would have it, the lady I had met the other day, the one who had made me feel guilty because of her kindness was also there. I realized it was my opportunity to make amends.

    “Good morning.” I greeted.

    “Good morning.”

    “My name is Romeo, how about you?”

    “Violet.”

    “Ok, I am sorry about the other day. I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did.”

    “It’s alright. It’s normal with you guys who come from the city, especially the students. You think you have made it in life and can oppress anyone.”

    “Oppress?” I asked. “That is a very strong word na? Anyway, I am making no excuses. Just want you to forgive me.”

    “I did already. I already forgave you.”

    “Thank you.”

    “Welcome.”

    I paused for a while as I watched the steady stream of water filled my containers.

    “Where do you live?” I asked.

    “In the mission compound.”

    “Who do you live with?”

    “With my elder brother and his family. How about you?”

    “I live down there.” I said, pointing to our house which wasn’t far from the public tap.

    “If you live in that house, it means Gift is your sister?” She asked.

    “You are right. She is my younger sister. Do you know her?”

    “Yes, we are friends.”

    My containers were now filled to the brim. I said goodbye and started walking home, staggering under the weight of the two containers I was carrying in both hands. She carried her bucket on her head and went to the opposite direction. After a few seconds, my hands were becoming numb, so, I put the containers on the ground to rest my hands.

    When I did this, I turned around to see if I could steal a glance at her. I regretted that immediately because she turned around at the exact same time, too. Our eyes met and I froze. She smiled, turned around and continued walking gracefully home. I decided that I would make inquiries about her and see what to do next.

    The next morning, my mom, my two younger sisters, Gift and Faith and me were going to the farm, dressed in tattered farm clothing when I saw her. Her brother’s wife might have sent her to get some groceries from a corner store because she was holding a black plastic bag in one had. She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. I wanted to talk to her but didn’t know how to do that with my mum present. So, I pretended to take a leak while my mum and sisters went ahead. She came close and smiled again.

    “Where are u going to?” I asked.

    “Actually, it’s “coming from”. I am coming from that store there. Went to buy.”

    “Ok, I am going to the farm with my family. Will you be at the tap tonight?” I asked.

    “Maybe, I don’t know yet.”

    “Alright, I will be there.” I told her without anybody asking me.

    “Alright, better start going. Your mum is waiting for you.” She advised.

    “OK. Bye.”

    “Bye”

    I quickened my pace so as to catch up with my mum and sisters. When I caught up with them. My mum asked,

    “What were you and that girl talking about?” She asked.

    “Nothing mum, just about school.” I lied.

    “I don’t believe you. Ome ka nnaya. You are going to be like your father. Be careful. If you get someone’s child pregnant, you are on your own. I have told you my own.” My mum said.

    I smiled. I barely even heard what she said. In my mind, I was seriously waiting for evening to come so that I could be able to see Violet again.
