Barrister Babajide Badmus!
Oh my God. Not again! Anu refused to pick up the call. She was confused, but when he called the third time, she reached out, using her left hand to take the phone with reluctance, wondering what he wanted to say. Her body trembling, her face anxious, she prayed that her voice would be normal.
"Hello Anu! Are you there?"
"Hmm, yes, I am." She answered weakly.
"Don't tell me you're sick!"
"Hmm, no, em-not at all."
"Then what are you hiding from me?"
"Don't bother yourself. Why did you call me?"
"I'm just checking on you. Keep yourself pure and be focused on your studies. Will you like to speak to your brother?"
She finally found her voice, "Yes, Yes, thank you very much sir."
"Hey my sister, haba! It's been ages. You've not been asking about me! This is not fair at all. Anyway, I disturbed my uncle Jide to call you. Just want to hear your voice, and to tell you that your brother is missing you greatly. When are you coming to Lagos?" Iyin asked getting excited about it.
"Oh oh! I never thought of that, you know."
"You need to come over to see me, before going to Ile -Ife. Please! Please, my sis. Say yes!"
"Okay I will think about it." Anu replied, feeling guilty about everything. How do I tell my brother that I am afraid of coming to see Barrister Babajide Badmus. It's getting clearer that he wants us to be married. I don't mind, but how about God?
"Are you still there?" Iyin uttered, surprised that he couldn't hear anything from the other end. It could be network issue may be, he thought.
"I'm just thinking about what you said now. Well pray for me to come over."
"Yes! Yes! and Yes!" He yelled out in triumph.
"We shall see then."
"You mean that we should expect you after semester break?"
"Well may be, isn't that your desire?
"And you have succumb to it?" He asked, his voice rising.
"I Know that my brother wants me to be there with him. And I love him so much, so my answer, is Yes, I will be there!" Anu shouted too.
"Hurray!" They cried out from the other end. Anu heard three voices shouted, Hurray.
So that means Femi, Iyin and Babajide were all together. This is serious, and that got her thinking deeply. How to cope with three different men is a burden. Her brother, two brothers who both wanted her as a wife.
Anu could not get herself for a long time. Confusion took hold of her. Whenever she is confused, she paces up and down. That was what she resorted to, musing in her heart how to stay with three men who loves her passionately.
Her brother would want to hang out with her. Femi wouldn't want her in Babajide's company. And Babajide is somehow more coordinated and more matured. She sighed and resorted into thinking.
ANU'S POV
I seem to like Babajide Badmus. He is my dream man. I can imagine him holding me in his warm embrace and squeezing me hard to himself with his strong muscle. Hmm, she moaned in pleasure.
Sister Anu, she pinched herself quickly, you've started to lust after Babajide. Hey I am in trouble. No, this shouldn't be. I have to fight this desire, welling up within me.
Sometimes, I miss my husband, Bayo. I must confess that I missed him. Bayo is a goodie. But he is not my husband, after all, we were not legally married, according to Barrister Babajide, but I still find it diffult to allow any man touch me.
That was why Femi's touch was repelling to me when he came the other time. Since it's Bayo that disvirgined me, then that means he is the only man I have ever known. But he has never been faithful to me. I have forgiven him but I am still hurt. Moreover he is enjoying himself with my friend, Caroline. Oh, this hurts so, so much.
I wouldn't mind Babajide Badmus then, but will Femi allow this? Is it also the will of God?
Ha, I think I am losing it.
Anu breathed in and out to calm himself, when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is there, for Christ sake?" Feeling irritated.
IYIN'S POV
"Wow, this is awesome! At last, I'm gonna see my sister!" I jumped up in jubilation.
"Hey, take it easy, my brother. She will not have your time, because I am going to occupy her mind and time." Femi uttered watching how I would react. He had come to love me like a junior brother and it's nice having him around.
"Hmmm, don't tell me that you've fallen in love with my sister. If that is the case, then you have me, to contend me."I said, beating my young chest.
Femi chuckled, "Oh my God! See someone trying to compete with me. Okay now, we shall see!"
Babajide heard the two of them and shook his head, walking away. He was happy that they are inseparable. They seem to get along so well and that makes him happy that he did the right thing.
If only Iyin knows that Babajide is interested in Anu. But it's hidden from his young eyes. Assuming he knows, what will he say? Who will he support?
