Fausa Eleja (episode 3 & 4)

Episode 3&4

EPISODE 3

Though there is somthing i dislike in deji which i have been trying to stop from him. Deji had always been a girl player, He changes women like a lady changes cloths. Am sure the Fausa will accept him. Because deji was endowed with sweet mouth. Moreso, She’s an indigene of abeokuta. Another major reason deji wanted to date her apart from the s-x was for free fish. He will be getting free fish to be drinking his garri and cooking food; that was what he said.

Indeed he was getting the free fish as time went on. For one week, anytime Fausa comes around, deji and the other guys might not have money to pay, but fausa won’t disturb them. Fausa became a familiar face in the compound, we tagged her, “Fausa Eleja”.

This particular Wednesday, I had returned from school earlier, seyi was yet to be back.

Immediately I came back, I went to bed to sleep. I was deep in sleep when I began hearing people talking and shouting; I heard a guy and a lady’s voice. “meoshee” meaning “I won’t do” the lady’s voice was saying. “Kilode” the guy’s

voice echoed. The guy’s voice became louder; I woke up immediately. The voices became more clearer to

me, it was deji’s voice and fausa. I opened the door and went outside the room. I met both Fausa and deji quarreling. From what I could deduced about their quarrel, deji grabbed Fausa’s b----t and she didn’t like it. He was trying to have s-x with her but she refused. Deji almost slapped her but, I grabbed his hand and suspended it on air. He began pushing her away to leave. Fausa said she was not leaving

unless he pays her the money he’s owing. She said he and the other guys were owing up to N3,500. Sometimes they would collect fish from her and will not pay her. Omo this one na wahalaooo; N3,500, me no dey too they follow them dey chop finish. She started crying, I tried to pet her so she could go, but she refused. Deji wasn’t ready to do anything about it. His anger was that fausa refused to have s-x with him. I begged till she finally carried her fish and left. Though deji was kind of shocked that fausa didn’t yield to his advances, because other indigene girls he had tried this antics on, all of them

fell, but fausa didn’t. Maybe the girl was not like other girls. Too make the story short. The girl left after my pets.

Two days later, I was the only one back from school in the flat. I heard a knock on the door. I went out of the room to the door of the flat to check who that was. Guess who?

EPISODE 4

I went out of the room to the door of the flat to check who that was. I opened the door and behold it was Fausa. “uncle eka san,” she said, “How are you” I asked, she said she was fine. She said she wanted to know if we want to buy fish. I began to wonder in my mind. After everything that happened the other day. The quarrels, tensions that generated with the N3,500 owed by my housemates; who else apart from me does she feel will buy fish from her. She still get the liver come ask if we want to buy fish. I realized she has an innocent and a kind heart. After what the other guys did to her, she still came back. I told her that I don’t want to buy and perhaps other guys who

will love to buy are not around. She said she liked

me out of other guys, that I was gentle and cool headed, unlike the other guys who are rough and behave like touts. She was speaking in Yoruba while I spoke in English; I did forms as if I am not a yoruba type due to my looks and chose english as the language I preferred.

She was just so free with me, she asked if I was

Yoruba, I told her I wasn’t. “No wonder you can’t

reply me in Yoruba” she said in English ( just laughing within myself). She was so fluent. We began chatting

and I was asking her questions about her

school. She said she just finished her WAEC and JAMB examinations and will be expecting the result to be great and, she’s hoping to use the Waec result to gain admission into FCE Osiele. I asked her why not university. She said “University is for big people”, I laughed. I encouraged her,

I told her when it’s time, she should buy the Jamb form and pick Funaab. Only if she would listen to me. We talked for about an hour that I began feeling guilty because she left the fish she was supposed to sell, and was talking with me. I really enjoyed the conversation. I told her to go that when she comes the next day, we will continue our discussion. Only if she go meet me for house. Because I had decided to

sleep over at a friend’s place. Two days later in the evening, i and other guys and my girl seyi were outside chatting and playing when fausa ran inside from the gate, we almost stood up from our seats to run inside, thinking it was danger, and something was chasing her. Not until I saw her smiling and laughing as she ran towards me and

hugged me so tightly as if her life

depended on it. Other guys were just standing and watching. Even seyi was kind of uncomfortable; who wouldn’t be, when a girl just went straight and hug your boyfriend right in your presence. She released me immediately, smiling, with joy on her face. I felt maybe she had won a lottery.

“Aunty seyi good evening”, she greeted seyi.

She also greeted other guys. Deji answered her

with a mocking tone. The girl sef no send. She said she just went to check her result, and guess what, she had credit in all the courses she wrote. Everybody screamed in happiness. Fausa had managed to warm her way into our hearts in that compound. Even my girl seyi likes her. She sometimes will call her inside her roo for gisting . sometime eill prepare food for her..so she was freed to me and seyi. Everybody except but deji, likes her. Even though she sells fish, she comes around most times to chat with us. I really admired her “curiosity to learn.” She is not shy, she’s very beautiful that sometimes, other funaab students in other

compound follow, toast her, but she refuses. Seyi started advising her to take away her mind from going to FCE Osiele. She should take Jamb and come to Funaab(Federal University Of Agriculture Abeokuta).

As time went on, Fausa became freer with

almost everyone. She comes around and

anytime seyi was free, she gives her some

tutorial lessons. This particular Saturday, something happened.
