“I know you will father, you've not given me reasons to doubt your words.
I strongly believe in what you say”
where is my sweet bed?
How do you know I love you?
Have you seen my sweet bed?
how did you know I will give you all my love? Have you seen my sweet bed?
That was the music on my mind as my father went on in telling me how he will support me in any decision I take in life, how he will always be at my back singing, “Ehi naga n'anyi so gi n'azu”, meaning, "be going I am following you”.
I yawned for the fifth time this evening.
see? Even my yawns are getting desperate for sleep.
I badly need to have a long undisturbed sleep.
Dad looked at me, “I apologize for keeping you so late son, I wanted a person to talk to, a person that will momentarily take my mind off your mother, and you did just that. Thanks for your company, I truly appreciate”, he smiled.
Now am the embarrassed one, how can a person be self-centred like me? I only thought of myself while I should be thinking of my father and his sealed problems, my people normally say, “imagine uwa George of ks the odimma”, meaning," when you cover your problems, no one will be privy of your sufferings”.
Father doesn't look like a person who needs consolations, he seems like one who consolidated himself and found peace in his wife's death.
“I can stay for a little while if you'd like to?”, I will stay if he asks me to, but my bed's calling has been persistent, I can't just ignore him.
“No it's alright”, he shook his head," I would rather not keep you past your bedtime”, he chuckled," although you're hours past your bedtime”.
I smiled," I will be off then, goodnight”
“Goodnight”.
I felt someone shaking me, “Makoha requires your wonderful presence”, Blondie said as he shook me the more.
I looked around the class and recalled I was in here waiting with the class for Kwofo's introductions before I zoomed off to memory lane.
I glared at the male that still shaking my body, “what's it? why will you shake a person like that?” I narrowed my eyes.
He sighed, “phew, I thought we've lost you to your head. Your face was as blank as a clean slate, and your eyes distance”, he turned my face towards his," are you alright, the trip didn't do anything to you?”, he looked concerned.
Which planet did Blondie come from? Why will he be asking if am okay?
Does It hurt whenever a person revisits the past?
“You have problems, don't you?”,
“why will you ask that?”, he looked confused.
“Does it hurt you whenever you recall your past?”, maybe it hurts his head whenever that happens.
I keep forgetting he's a werewolf, and I am human, I don't know most of the basic things about him, all I know is that he's a werewolf and nothing more.
