Chapter 137: Love Chat

So, from there we drove to the airport, the man was so happy, he had never flown in an airplane before, he was so excited, but he was still very serious about the thing that we were supposed to do, mom never bought the egg he asked for, but he said not to worry, that we will locate a medicine market in Lagos where we will find anything we needed for the cleansing. Well, I was just there hoping and praying that everything should go well for me. At least if not for anything, but for the sake of mom, and Cynthia. Yeah, talking about Cynthia, you know we have never seen since the day mom told aunty Paula about me, but at least we still chated and sometimes we make love online. But last night as I lay in bed, I brought out my phone and we chatted, we chatted to an extent, I even composed poems for her, the chatting was really fun before she started asking me so crazy questions, questions like; what is wrong with you? Are you ok? What did you do to my mom?

Really when she started with the questions I felt confused. I knew not what to say, she even went ahead to tell me that her mom had asked her not to see me again, that was why she was asking me what I did, she also said that her mom said that I am very sick, that I might not make it. Well, we discussed and beat around the bush on that issue, but I won't want to bore you with a story that I myself do not find interesting. Yeah, I really enjoyed the start of the chat, though it never ended well.

We started with a lot of love talks, we chatted and she asked me to compose for her a poem which I did, and this is the sample of the poem that I wrote for her.

" I love you

That is not hard for me to say

It is not a prediction

Or a reflection

It is just a motion

In this my heart of ocean

Cynthia, this is not just any ocean

But it is the ocean of my emotion.

This feeling called true love,

That is what I feel for you and more

You see, Cynthia,

Hiding love is quite a difficult game

Because love burns like an invisible flame,

Which fights for fame.

You know my love,

The gravity of my greed for you,

Will not escape the orbit of obsession

The secrecy of our love must erupt now or never

We have to flip silver into gold

Make the world know of our love."

Now, this was the poem that I sent to her, I don't even know what was in the poem that made her feel so good, she sent me thousands of kiss emojis, she said she wished I was there with her so she could kiss me for real.

The chat kept going and heating up, but all the fun later died down when she started with the questions. 

Well, we got to the lugbe airport on time and it never took is time to get our ticket and seats. When we got there, mom made a call, and the friend of hers came to meet her. Yeah the friend that helped us book the ticket, when he came, both he and mom stood there and discussed to a limit, while the prophet and I sat there looking at them.

As we sat watching, we also said a few things, the man was not all that mad, in fact, he wasn't mad at all, he just kept asking me about my life, in fact, I feel like I even know more about me than I even think I know myself.

"Tell me, all these while as you bury yourself in the water, how do you feel? What do you think? What goes on in your mind while you were in there?"

This was the question he asked me, when he asked me this question, I began to wonder, how did he know about this? no one knew, not even mom, who told him about it? I just paused and looked at him.

"Answer me, how do you feel? I will like to know. And how does it feel like to be underwater."

Now after he asked me this question, I looked at him with an eye of suspicion, now I decided to probe his mind in other to know what he was thinking, but I rather got the shock of my life. Right in his mind, he asked me:

"Hey young man, what are you doing in my head? Will you stop that rubbish? It's disgusting."

So he said in his mind, immediately I heard this I stopped immediately. This was when I found out that the man was not mad at all, he was in his right mind, and he was something more than normal.

"How did you know that?"

I asked him, looking so terrified.
