Chapter 58

He hung up….

Kofo was buried two days later at Ago-iwoye cemetary. The only family member of hers present for the burial was her younger brother. Most of us who were kofo's friend attended, even National came to pay his respects.

Abayomi had confessed to Toun that he still slept with Kofo after she had warned him. Toun told him it was okay, she understood what he was going through…but she broke up with Abayomi…

She had to move in with me for a while, till her heart got unbroken…

Me : So have you spoken with Abayomi today?

Toun : Yes i called him this morning, he is doing fine…

Me : alot of people are saying it was a lecturer that impregnated her, i am sure you must have heard…

Toun : It doesnt matter if it was Abayomi or not. The fact is that he straffed her when he told me he had stopped…

Me : The poor boy needs you right now, atleast go visit him

Me : Ah ahn…no jor…you know i want you around…oya lets change the topic…

Toun : Good…i sm visiting Naetochukwu tonight….he invited me to his house…

Me : same Naetochukwu?

Toun : Yes. or you still fancy him?

Me : no…not at all…

Something had changed about Toun since the break up with Abayomi…She sounded angry all the time…

Me : Will you follow us to campaign at Main- Campus this evening?

Toun : Ofcourse i would, You and Abayomi are my pals for life…

Me : thank you..

There was no Electricity, it was a very hot afternoon. Although one of Obasanjo's campaign promises had been to provide more electricity, it had gotten worse. Thank God Yar'adua and Buhari were playing it easy…Atiku followed Obasanjo's footsteps..

I wondered if i was like them, making promises just to win an Election. i shuddered to think of the violence usually perpetuated, unfortunately even my own elections was showing signs of violence. Two cult groups were using the elections as a show of supremacy..We the candidates and the students in general were at the middle..

Timi and Abayomi came to pick us up by 4pm for the campaign, some other guys followed them with their cars too…The singing and dancing took a lower tone, we had to honor Kofo. We seemed to be getting an upper hand as a result of the death.. Students who remembered her as our former campaign manager vowed to vote for us..Even Yewande came to express her sympathies with us….

Shortly before the end of the campaign, Naetochukwu came with his Avalon and scooped Toun away, Abayomi saw him leave with her…As he and Timi dropped me off at home, he shared his fears with me..

Abayomi : do you think she will take me back someday?

Me : truthfully?

Abayomi : yes Tana…

Me : i dont think so, she says you remind her of her Dad…

Abayomi : Wow…..

Me : yes…

Abayomi : you think she will straff Naetochukwu?

Me : that is really noty business….

Timi : i hate that boy mehn….

Abayomi : chai…Adetoun has left me for real…

The tear that rolled down from his cheek got to me…he really loved her…i vowed to scatter Toun and Naetochukwu's plans, must win Toun back for my bestie…my oga..
